This really really pi##es me off, as where I live I get 1x data, & usually use my home wireless (wifi).
Recieved the pro, and activated it. It seems disabled by being activated by alltel. I even stumped the blackberry adept person at the local store enough that they switched out the phone, I walked to next door (motel) used the free wireless (to prove the wireless would even function) then let him activate it and headed home (30+ miles into the wilderness). got home and again I cant get Crap wifi to work.
Home is wireless b, it connects, can be seen on the 'simple' 2 wire wireless appliance but the PRO, will not see or try to send data through it. turned off security and everything on the wireless for testing. I can check, but I know the pass for the motel, and I could try again, but am definitely sure that this AINT the issue--> again the phone wouldnt connect at the motel (least not the pre exchanged one) with me or the rep at Altel either, while it was activated and on alltel.
who to call? Any help out there?
my 6800 will still wifi, at anyplace there is a signal and that I know the passcodes or is open.
yes I asked this, at alltel-howard forums, but would think you guys here know more (on second thought, when I remembered about all the stuff you do here, I know I probably should've posted here 1st, but Im kinda mad at the moment!)
Pretty adept at computers, I do IS as my real job, anything I can do to help trouble shoot? yeah the 6800 has been flashed & I even noobed around with cooking a few time. appreciate any help you guys
i Have a touch pro and a touch diamond, both under 2 weeks old and the wifi works fine with both of them, maybe you should try a custom rom and see if they changes anything. but there is no reason it shouldnt work with the stock rom

goony,
Is it an Alltel? are you positive that wifi is working, not the "data" connection with alltel towers (cell call)? My proof is that if I goto my basment, I have no cell service so not any data connction, ONLY WIFI (that is where my wireless router is. that is when I found out the 1st time. Everything else looks right, on the phone it says it is connected, on the router I can see it on the connected devices list.
I have my issue that I believe, that it is some setting that Alltel is setting... like I said the phone would connect via wifi until the phone activated. When I activated (full unlimited data package is on this phone) the phone fully rebooted on its own, 3 times as if getting updated via data plan. Im not talking about the 1st time turn on customizations, those were done before I tested the wifi at the motel lobby... For instance, the volume control buttons - the display app were obviously modified, I am not positive what else was.
I'd LOVE to try custom rom, if I wasnt right in the period of time I can get my money back, or not. after that I will...
yes they are alltel, and to test the wifi i just connected it to my router and then turned of my alltel data and it stayed connected so i am positive the wifi works. you can still use a custom rom under your return period, if you want to return just relock it.
I wanted to double check myself sting to make sure i was realy getting wifi, so i connected and went to speedtest.net and did a speed test and sure enough it showed my isp as roadrunner(my home provider). Have you had this problem with multiple phones? are you checking the internet option when it connects? and do you have it diconnected from the pc? my wifi wont work on my diamond hooked to a pc.
Has nothing to do with alltel. Maybe with the rom or the phone. Now I hope you're not waiting for a pop up to show itself on the main screen asking if you want to connect because you could wait forever. Go to comm manager enable wifi/ go to start->settings->connections->wifi and make sure options are set to "all available." If you can even see wireless networks on the list, the wifi is functioning correctly and there is a router settings conflict. If you don't see networks on that list in wifi, then there is a rom/hardware problem.

Hey thanks!
But, it is the Stock shipped rom, I have my HTC 6800 right next to this one, connected and surfing the web, both show up when in the home WIFI router config as connected, yet the pro sends NO DATA to ie or opera, (cant locate any webpages) or any app that uses internet/data.Unless there is something I need to do with PRO that I never had to do with the 6800 (mogul) that I just flashed back to stock shipped rom, ready to sell on ebay...
what I dont know is, well, most of the people wifi to tether a laptop or something, I dont! Sure that will be neat in the future, but RIGHT NOW, Just I use WIFI when I am at home and dont even have signal or evdo near me... (remote locations that I live, the tower coverage sucks out here in ks...) Got to fix this soon, or this Beyotch is going back to alltel.
Another thing, this bad boy pulled this crap, as soon as alltel activated the device (so I could use it as my phone!) when it was NOT activated, the wifi worked (proven at the motel next door to the Alltel store I exchanged this phone). BTW, I was able to test it on the 1st phone shipped to me, while it was activated, it pulled the same thing, when he unactivated the phone, we could almost pickup the wifi from the motel next door (distance was the only issue I think now looking back) but seemed like a chip problem.
Where I got screwed was we believed the wifi to be bad on the 1st phone. So he got out a new phone, and before we activated it, I went and tested the wifi, it worked on the 2nd phone. I thought wall was fine, it worked. then I had him activate it, assuming that proved I will be able to use the wifi. So I leave the store thinking OK wifi works. I get home, and again unable to use my home networking wifi to open web or apps. unacceptable. Yet the 6800 does and still works flawlessly (as long as you slide the wifi sider on side to on {inside joke}).
follw me better now?
What brand router do you have? How many devices are wireless? And it connects to other locations but are you sending and recieving data? Try this link http://www.wmwifirouter.com/trial/ and install on 6800 if you are not normally around hotspots. This will test the t-pro's ability to send and recieve information via wifi. Now it is sounding like an IP address conflict.

Sweeny, Im in the houshold router (made by 2wire) I can see it (the Pro as well as the 6800) each get an ip. (I work In IT, so I know what you are talking about in ip conflicts, all that.) I have even set the router to manually setup IPs now, then set the ip inside the Pro, as well as the default gateway, dns all that.) I'm telling ya, it is more like it doesnt know the DNS or the gateway (just like I disable internet surfing on the computers at work that I still must use networking)
I copied the DNS and everything from a working laptop (ipconfig -all) on a wireless laptop today, and still as if it was disabled.
This weekend i will test the dang thing tethering with my notebook i'll bring home from work (use the pro as the internet access). if it wont tether either, then I think allHell is doing something. Again if the device is DE-Activated I will wifi... {I'll bet you $$}. I might call alltel, tomarrow night, and try that. I'll have them inactivate it and if it suddenly works, then the question is, what do I do with alltel? they dont have the right to disable hotspot usage do they?
I feel I feel the presence of VERIZON already in Alltel, Luke is turning to the dark side. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You all thought I was off my crock...
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2073117/Touch+Pro+WiFi?t=anon lots of folks posting same problems it looks like.
Need that group of people who can create a kitchen, and hcak tomtoms, to help us with this PLEASE!
No I don't, think you're off your crock I just know how frustrating problems like this can be. Here is what I suggest you do. And if this doesn't work exchange the phone or try a different router. I know what you're thinking....not the router. Truth is might be. Its just like wireless adapters in wii's and ps3's they simply will not work with a handfull of routers even though not clearly documented.
Anyway, change router to static Ip's, safer anyway.
Specifiy gateway, primary and secondary dns, and limit your ip's within 100 available obtainables. Use a 64 bit wep encryption. Change the channel of your router's broadcast to 1 or 11. Use only simple gateway ip range, not pure server. If you need me to provide you with example settings then pm me because I do not want to broadcast them via forum
Good luck.
Dont take this the wrong way....but are you positive that you are disabling the DATA Connection in Comm Manager?
I have had the alltel touch pro since the second they hit the store. I have used 3 of them since and they all work perfectly on wifi. I primarily use wifi and use diamond tweak to activate the wifi standby so wifi stays connected in standby like data does by default and use modaco nodata to disable data as I live in a house that gets a very lowsignal from the tower and eats my battery superfast if I use data. I have a router in the house and one in my office detached from my home and when I had my mogul it often would not switch between routers successfully requiring me to manually connect more often than not. All the Touch Pros connect superfast and switch automatically. I am running mightyrom 4.12 and telus radio which is light years better than stock with signal, speed and batterylife, but even when I was on stock for about 3 months there were absolutely no wifi issues.

Not sure which of us you are asking this queston of...
Thanks, for the help so far...
I was having the same issue (Alltel and all).
I found this post in the MS forums:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/561f18a8-5f64-4359-957e-adb003229f1d
Essentially, it says to "Navigate to START/SETTINGS/Connections Tab/Connections icon/Advanced Tab
Press Select Networks Button
At the top it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
You want to press on the drop down and choose My Work Network"
You need to tell the system that the Work Network connects to the internet as well. While this doesn't seem like the ideal solution (there should be a faster way to switch it, or it should do it automatically depending on location), it did work for me. I'm sure there's a much more sleek solution out there, though.
Btw... I hope I'm posting this correctly. I'm more a reader than a poster.
Ooop... one more thing. Its non-sleekatude rests with the fact that when you want to switch between wifi and your data plan, you have to go through the whole process, and switch the active network from My Work Network to Alltell Wireless. This is where I was hoping for a better solution. As I say, it does work, but it seems like it should involve less hassle.
Might add this to the WIKI, I dunno but there could be a few more thousand users out there on ATT or SWB using the modem/routers that they shipped when you got DSL more than a year ago...
Everyone that has the older 2 wire brand, wifi modem/router that came with SBC (now ATT). Wierd I know. But Mine has just been replaced by the newer version of that modem/router. and I will be dammed, it works. but the phone wont work with the older ones. Mine was the 2WIRE 1000hw model. they are shipping new models, and finally the phone will work with the wifi on that new router.
Thought it might be nice to know...
alltel model uses wifi just fine
My TP from alltel works just fine with wi-fi all i ever do is turn it on and then select which connection i want to make ...really quite nice...maybe you need to exchange yours...
On further testing of my own setup, I'm thinking my issue was the router. I had done several fixes all at once, and cited the wrong fix as the working one. I happened to reset my router at the same time I did the above suggested fix.
I thought it had to be the device, as my HTC Apache never had an issue with the router, but after resetting the router, and going back to the original settings on the TP, I'm having no problems connecting to the network. I wish I could pinpoint the exact conflict between the two, but now that I have it working, I'm not messing with it.
My suggestion is to back up your router settings, reset the router, and see what happens. Or test your wifi on someone else's network.
Isolating a network conflict can be one of the least fun things to do, but from everything I've seen here and in other forums (and my experience with it) I'm going to say that's the issue, and not the TP alone.
I don't think it likes your router being wireless B, you should try it on a wireless G router before Ebaying it.

I've been noticing that when I turn on the Wifi switch on my 6800m the EV icon turns into the wifi search antenna, but the wifi radio (maybe saying this wrong) doesn't try and connect to anything (access points, adhoc) I just sits there.
Used to get the "Radar" sound affect and I would be prompted to enter my WPA key, but now it just doesn't do it.
I tried reading the thread, but its up to 55 pages and i just didn't see anything.
I've tried to install a completely rom, just what was provided, and I still cannot get the wifi radio to search for wireless networks to connect to.
Any ideal?

Try going to the connections settings and choose WiFi.
Make sure the Networks To access tab is set to Only Access Points or All Available.
While on that screen go to Menu and choose the Advanced option.
In this menu check the box that states "Turn On available network notification" and on the scroll menu choose never.
Then on the Network Adapters section make sure that the "My Network Card I connected to " is set to " The Internet " or what ever setting is made on your router.
If that doesn't work try to make sure that your Wireless Router is functioning properly. Like unplugging the power from it for a minute and letting it reset. Or if you have a Linksys router you can search for a Wifi device by pushing the Cisco Systems Button in the from ( If enabled ). This issues a broadcast to all wireless network cards but only the one with the proper key can connect to it.
I noticed that something is a little weird I guess .. besides my reference to Vzw Wife .. typing in the dark is dangerous .. especially with on contact.
Anyway
I don't think my "connections" are correct.
When I go to "Connections" with WIFI off i get
and Look at Network Nanagement I have 3 network options
Verion Wireless, My Work Network, My ISP
I have Verizon Wireless entered for both options.
I do not see "The Internet" or "Work" as options.
When I chose my network adaptor as you stated .. I can see "The Internet" and "Work".
All the other setting were as you said in regards to WIFE andthe network card.
The title of this made me laugh.
I think there is a bigger problem in that when I have the WiFi switch on ... my bluetooth disconnects. I'm going to try one of the older roms and see if it works.
Shouldn't "Internet" and "Work" be visible when I go to Network managment under Connections?
I guess there is something wrong with my phone. I tried NexVision's rom and I could search and connect to my Bluetooth headset with the WIFI switch on, but still cannot search for wifi connections.
show your wife where the router is so she doesnt have to look for it?
(sorry couldnt resist)
could you flash a stock rom and see if wifi works there? its bad news for you but i suspect hardware...
Yep ... I think its hardware also ... and the Wife has no clue what the Router is LOL.
I guess I have a semi Vogue for now.
edit:
I flashed alllll the way back to 2.1.0 and still doesnt work.
I'm downloading the radio for the stock. now and will load the stock verizon rom in a moment. I'll let cha know.
I have alltel and ever since I started using Radio 3.27 my WiFi stopped working (not sure if the radio is the issue). I hear lots of other peoples still work. When I turn the switch to on (with bluetooth off) the circle goes on around the antenna icon and then imediately turns off. I know I have several WiFi routers in the area. The laptop picks them up but the phone does not.
Any vzw users able to use wifi with the new Radio?
Ahh ... Thats interesting.
To be honest ... this is the first time I have attempted to use the wifi since on the new rom. Last nite I was at home and said, I never tested it so I tried and it did not work.
It would make since that the radio could be causing the problem, especially with the radio coming from a beta product if I'm not mistaken. Also that Beta Product being released from another carrier.
Maybe when the Official Verizon Rom is stripped down (or even the pending Sprint Rom Release), us VzW users can use the Wifi, GPS and RevA.
I'm so lazy and just dont wana reloc the bootloader, flash the stock radio, stock rom and be back at such a ... non-robust phone, just for wifi. Right now.
I wonder if any VzW users that are using the new radio and new Radio based roms are able to use wifi?
I have an xv6800 on vzw and everything works perfectly fine, including Wifi, GPS, RevA, MMS etc.
there goes my theory
Yeah that is why I stopped looking for an answer. i hear others peoples work but I have tried all the WM 6.1 roms and none of them work but I put the stock rom in and WiFi works.
Have you tryed changing the power bar for the wifi from best battery to best perforance I used to not beable to pick any thing up untill I did that then once done bam I got all kinds of routers around me. Just a thought

It seems as if you have a hardware issue. I have the XV6800 with a Custom ROM that enables GPS and Rev A. and it works great for me.
Other then telling you to make sure that your WiFi is searching for all access points instead of computers, I wouldnt know what else could be wrong with your phone. Might as well flash everything to stock and report it so you can get a new one, but it is very weird that it didnt work.
Who knows maybe the access point you are trying to access isn't available
I might just try putting the stock radio on and then re-flashing the 3.27 radio. Maybe it did not flash completely or maybe it got corrupted. Who knows.
Hate to say i think everones right about it being hardware problam
I forgot have you done a hard reset this has fixed alot of peoples problams in the past
I think mine is a drivers issue. I installed WiFiFoFum and it started to pick up AP's. It actually connected to my AP. I did a soft reset and it stopped working again. Not sure why it worked for that 2 minutes.
Edited: As of 3-06-08 I have installed Radio 1.40 and DCD 1.7.0 and I still have this issue. The next step is to put the stock rom back in the phone to see if it is a device issue for me.
Edit #2: Ok I put the stock rom back on the phone and my WiFi still does not work. I am figuring it is a hardware issue now. Looks like I am off to the phone store to get my replacement.
same problem, dont think its hardware...right?
my wifi was working fine VZW with dcd 2.2.6, but since the upgrade to 2.3.x ive been having issues with it. it doesnt connect to my network, or search for networks like it should. sometimes it tries to connect and stays with the wifi icon on and arrows continuously going back and forth, but wheb i tap the icon, all it shows is the cellular data connection as active and no no wifi access point. in the wireless LAN settings it lists my networks as unavailable and wheb i click add new it wont search for ones that i know are around, it just asks me to put in the name of a new one. sometimes i dont even get the flashing arrows back and forth, but just get the antenna without a circle around it.
i cant imagine it being a hardware problem that we are both having since the flash to the new rom. my phone is less than a month old and wifi was working flawlessly until i put on 2.2.3 even had remote desktop over my school network working.
Is it possible to use ICS with wifi connection instead of cellular connection? Would be useful for a makeshift wireless adapter if your regular NIC or wireless NIC fails.
It seems that even if I have a wifi connection already going and then I launch ICS and connect, it still tries to dial out and use the cellular connection. You would think if it can share cellular data it could share wifi data just as easily but maybe im missing something.
Back in the early days of WiFi internet sharing the private interface was changed to WiFi with a manual registry edit. It might be possible to change the public interface to USB instead of defaulting too the cellular radio. It would probably take a fair amount of troubleshooting, but I'd think it would be possible. I think the entries were at HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing. Might be a starting point...
Search for WMWifiRouter
WiFiRouter
WiFiRouter works by making your ppc into a virtual access point. Then you can share the internet through it.
Last time I looked however, the author had withdrawn the program from circulation at version 0.91. There must be some problems with it because the author indicated that he would release a new version once he ironed out some bugs. If it is not back in distribution yet, you might be still able to find it on a torrent site. If not, PM me and I will send you the cab. Some of the cab collections at ppcgeeks ftp have it inside too. One good collection to check is Alex's.
I have used it and it works.

wmwifirouter is not what he's looking for. That is still using your phones internet. He wants to see how he could use the phone as a Network card, using the wifi connection, as oppossed to the sprintpcs connection.
I too would be very interested in this happening, if anyone knows of a way please tell.
ok, but why ??
Why would you actually want to do this anyway ??? I will look into it but it makes no sense when a USB WiFi dongle is $30 or so and does not run your phone down to use it, why would you want to use your phone as a very expensive USB WiFi card ??? Maybe I am missing some golden benefit ????
I dont get it either, but he did say in an emergency if your wifi went out.
Thank you for the responses.
Yes, it would be useful if your wireless nic went out (or regular nic for that matter) just to have something to use for the moment. Or maybe you brought your computer to a friends house and hes out of ports or you dont want to run 50ft cable to his kitchen table
But the titan has wireless, it has internet sharing, why doesnt the wireless show up in the list of available networks? I'm not saying its an all important feature but it would be yet another cool thing your phone could do.
i looking to use my mogul as a wifi access point (sharing Spint Vision thru wifi)
i tryed the procedure to mod the registry to enable it but i cant get it to work.
anyone know the exact procedure for the mogul
btw i also checked out WMWifiRouter...looks like it's no longer free
I also wanna know
Look the idea is simple. So where is the phone ICS telling it to use the celluar line and not allowing the option of the wifi?
Pls any one contact me. Its a cool feature for a phone

I bought software called Walking Hotspot, which essentially turns my Mogul/Titan into something like a Mifi, sharing my cellular data with my laptop. Otherwise known as tethering.
I only use it for emergencies because I am not sure if Sprint can tell that I am tethering. I believe if Sprint detects unauthorized tethering they will charge 4 cents per kilobyte of data .. which is very harsh!

Wireless as in WIFI? Using the switch on the side?
Re: Radio and Wireless
I am also encountering a similar problem. If I stand next to the access point and try to connect to the AP, it fails or it connects but I can't connect to the internet(PIE always can not load page).
I changed the encryption from AES to WEP to no avail. Even went so far as to re flashing 3.2.6. I am also using the same radio as you.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem.
Thanks,
Ed
I would take off all WEP and encryption and try to connect with it as a open WiFi. If you still can't connect then you have some other issues either with your WAP or maybe still with your phone. Then if it does connect then add the WEP encryption back on. You may have to change the type of WEP to one the phone supports. I just use MAC filtering so no one else can get on my wireless but scanners can see what is being passed around on my wireless. (mostly teenage girl stuff, I think a scanner would get bored really quick) LOL

you do have the switch turned on, on the side of the phone and then go into the comm manager and at the bottom go into the Wireless LAN settings.
You might need to refresh or manually create the connection if your WAP doesn't broadcast its SSID.
I've been having problems with wi-fi too, mostly since my upgrade. I am on dcd 3.25 and radio 3.42.50. I can usually connect ok, but then either I can't connect to any web sites or I can surf for a few minutes and then it stops (although still shows connected). Since so many are on these (ROM and Radio), I am doubting that is the issue. It did work better on the prior versions of both, but again if not effecting others don't see how that can be the issue. Hopefully it is not a hardware issue since this is already my second phone (power button caved in on the last one, not much quality there). Any ideas?
Thanks,

Do you have anything else using your WAP? Just sounds more like your access point then your phone. I had a wireless router that would do that with any wireless device so I had to get a new one.
Unfortunately, there are 2 computers in my house that work fine of the router. It is also happening when I try to connect to wi-fi at work. I've also noticed that sometime it just won't connect. I am in the same room as the router now and it won't even register it. Doesn't even look that hard...searches for 2 seconds and stops. Very strange.
yes the switch is on and enabled in comm manager. It finds signals but can not connect to any of it.
You guys might want to try WiFiFoFum (should be around here somewhere) It will show all the WiFi APs and even use the GPS to log them. If they don't register there, then I would say try flashing the Radio and DCD's ROMs again. The only issue I had with WiFi is it wouldn't turn on with the hardware switch and I swapped out the phone.
Thanks, I'll give it a try....
Fletcher,
I've got the exact same problem. When I leave my AP open, it connects and stays connected. As soon as I switch over to WPA-PSK AES with an 8 character key, I get the symptoms that you describe. I can get to about 2 pages in PIE and then it takes a dump.
I'm on DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50. I don't have a solution, but at least wanted to let you know that you're not alone. It has to be something software related. I have a bunch of other clients that connect no problem with the same settings: PS3, Wii, laptop, PSP. I LOVE DCD roms, but may have to switch if I can't figure something out.
I am still having trouble connecting. It can see signals but not connect to any of them.
Tried wififofum. It sees the AP's and I can sometime connect. But no matter what it drops the connection within a few minutes. Then it won't reconnect or see any ap's (only looks for about 5 secs then stops). If I leave the switch off for a while and then try again, I can do the same thing all over again.
What do you think? A setting, a reg setting, broken phone? Thanks to any and all.....

Not sure if this helps, but I noticed that when it drops the internet connection (after 3-5 minutes), that when I look at WIFIFOFUM it still show the AP. A few time, it showed that the AP was no longer available, but the graphic at the top still shows connected by the phone. It seems like a software or hardware problem with the phone, but I'm not sure which. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I feel like I need to 1st explain that although I don't post here often I'm not an absolute noob. I load a new ROM about every 30 days and used Tierman before advancing to Sashimi. Ever since the 6.5 roms dropped I've been unable to see my Titan from ANY laptop/desktop. I'm looking for others with the same issue and/or if this is a known issue that has been resolved.
Tried RyanMogul6800 2.2 Heavy
Tried JUSTPCTECH 6.5 Rom
Tried an un-named 6.5 Rom prior to the 21501 release
Same issue on all of these roms, SSID/PPC not visible
Device is a 6800 Alltel branded on the Alltel network
WMWifirouter version is 1.35
Tried deleting the wifi listing on the pc's/laptops
Tried re-installing WmWifirouter
Tried rebooting everything
Tried changing hardware switch to control ringer on/off instead of wifi
Tried manually powering on wifi via Comm Manager
I know wmwifirouter started out testing here so I hope they see this post but I will be accessing my paid support with wmwifirouter to submit a support ticket.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What did you do to fix it?
Try going into settings, connections, Wireless LAN, change power mode to best performance. Then go into settings, connections, wifi and if any connections are in there delete them. Make sure no connections are attempting to connect. Now turn on wifi switch and go back into wifi settings. Pick to see ad hoc only and create new. Make a name and make it an ad hoc connection, pick open connection no security protection. Finish. Now using wifi on a laptop/desktop refresh the wifi and you should now see your connection. Quick tip when using WmWifirouter. Make sure nothing is connected to your PPC's adhoc connection. Have the wifi switch enabled BEFORE turning on WMwifirouter, Once its connected you can then use a desktop or laptop and connect to the PPC, and dont turn the WIFI OFF until you have quit WMwifirouter. I use the network plugin to access shared folders on my PC to transfer music etc.. Also make sure the wifi on the PC is not set up to share its own connection. That will interfere with the networking with the wifi on the PPC. Let me know if you get wi-fi working.
Thanks and I'm trying that now..only thing is I've been using WMWifirouter cince before it was 1.0 and it always worked fine. While i'm trying your suggestion is their anything different with 6.5 that would have me manually connecting.
I'm used to setting up wmwifirouter in the office and letting 2 otherppl access it and just GO! This happens on Vista, XP, and Windows 7 (I'm an MSDN subscriber). Anyhow trying your suggestions and let me know about 6.5 if you goet a sec.
Thanks
Tried it and my network showed up for a sec but when I tried connecting it timed out and then never showed up again. USB to 3G works fine and I tried ur suggestion on Vista & XP. Still pokin away. Hope sumthin works out!
Just a side note. My wifi IP on the 6800 is always all 0's 0.0.0.0 Shouldn't it be 192.16.3.1 and DHCP is enabled BTW
I'm experiencing a similar problem and have tried several 6.5 builds, including my own from the ppckitchen. WIFI will work for some time and then stop. It will work again for a short time after rebooting but then will stop once more.
So after JustPCTechs (I prefer Ryans Rom) rom i am back on RyanMogul's heavy & it's still not working. I like many people looked at others with this issue like it's something they are doing wrong but I am an EVERY DAY user of wmwifirouter. I cancelled my itnernet at the house simply because Alltel's unlimited was so fast. I even had the kid's Xbox 360 running through it.
So I'm still stuck with no wifi for wmwifirouter. Even after Ryan's suggestions. I know other people have this problem. I just wish you guys would speak up so we can collect data on this issue and resolve it for real.
No disrespect to the very talented individuals whom have assisted me so far. You and your work are greatly appreciated.
I'm also verifying the problem exists. Also I cannot connect my home pc's internet through the USB cable to the phone anymore. I have verified this same problem with all 3 of the 6.5 roms I've tested. I tried ryan's suggestion but to no avail. Looks great though!!
For the issue of the PPC not being able to use your PC's internet through USB cable you may want to try going into settings/connections/connection settings/select network. Make the top drop down menu My work network and the bottom drop down menu make your Carrier ex:Cricket, MetroPCS, etc.. That way should use your WAP when unplugged and use the PC's home connection when plugged in. That would then be normal operation.
SOLVED:
So I was poking around in the 6800 and I never use wifi because Alltel is SOOO fast. I saw a saved network connection ON THE 6800 to wmwifirouter. I thought it was odd since I asked wmwifirouter to dynamically create the network each time instead of storing it.
After doing that I was able to consistently see the 6800 from any device.
So Comm Manager / wireless Lan/ delete wmwifirouter
I've had the usb issue a long time ago and it is not the same.

If you notice i already said to delete existing wi-fi connections. So my first responses were your solution. you just overlooked it.. take care glad your sorted out.
I guess I did and let me make this real clear for anyone reading this later on. Wmwifirouter creates a wifi connection ON YOUR PPC DEVICE - TO YOUR PC DEVICE.
So when people tell you to delete all wifi connections and you delete the one on your laptop/desktop don't forget (like i did) to delete it on the ppc as well. I never knew thats how wmwifirouter worked. Learn somethin new every day. Thanks to all that helped.

In my instructions it is telling you to delete the connections off of the PPC.. Any connection on your PC would not automatically connect unless u had a matching ad hoc connection on ur PPC. I provided the fix and u overlooked/misunderstood it. I am glad you got ur wifi back up and running.
I've noticed that whenever my wifi is on, and also the "always scanning" option is on - my phone suddenly connects to a network called "0x".
It doesn't really work - there is no internet. It happened in different places, inside and outside my country.
Does anybody know what it is?
UP
Old post, but happened something similar to me. Sometimes when I have just connected to my wifi network and I look on the menu it displays "0x". Your phone was probably connected to a public wifi or just bugged.
Still doesn't explain it though
In my understanding, the 0x is a garbage SSID that indicates that WIFI configuration data is obsolete.
Ite wonderful if u ask me ☺?
I booked a hotel room and when i arrived thr...my device got connected to Ox wifi and it has over 2Mbps speed...so i was curious about this Ox wifi hotspot so i searched on google and i found ur post and now i am more curios about it. What the hell is going on lol...
.
In my opinion it may have some connection with rooted devices bcz my device is rooted and i have samsung s8 as well and it neither finds this Ox wifi nor gets automatically connected☺:fingers-crossed:
Edit: As far as I see, it might a bug of Android with special cases of bad connection. Like it connects somehow, but can't get SSID. Turning on "avoid poor wifi" seems to fix it.
Same here. I've saved two wifi connections: one is my home network, other one is a network of free wifi transmiters offered by my ISP (UPC Wi-Free). My phone is Motorola Moto G with Android 5.1. It's not rooted and never has been.
I live around elder people and there were no strangers so I doubt some grandma suddenly established malicious network. Probably a bug, but the bug of what? Android? Some external software? I use Nova Launcher and Wigle Wi-fi. Do you?
0x seems to be prefix of hexadecimal numbers, but it doesn't make much sense. It wouldn't mean "hexadecimal zero" (which would be 0x0), but "hexadecimal nothing".

I've seen it too, then the actual SSID of my home network appears. Maybe Android shows '0x' when it doesn't know the name of the network it's on.
