hi could someone plse help i installed wm6 on my ameo the t mobile friendly rom but now i cant get a fix on my wifi ive got a belkin n1 router i know thats working because my universal works fine. i also tried pocket hack master to try and slow down the cpu on the ameo becase i found it in another forum but still could not get it to work. any suggestions plse .thanks in advance
Does the WiFi light flash when you switch WiFi on?
Do you have the latest radio rom (1.45.00)?
Can you ad-hoc WiFi between your Athena and Universal?
Have you tried looking for updated firmware for your Belkin?
The only reason I ask, is because I couldn't connect to my WiFi network either but my Universal could too. Did all of the above and it works fine now
hey yoor right the wifi light isnt flashing wat to do. pleasse post have to go will try wen i get back thanks
The first thing I would do is flash the radio Rom to 1.45.00.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319993&highlight=radio
still not working
hi tried everything you guys suggested but no luck also tried flasing all the roms i could find with no luck can somone post me a link please who has a t mobile ameo of the rom they are using and wifi is working properly.thanks in advance
If you have re-flashed the Radio rom and WiFi still doesn't work, I would say your device is faulty. Send it back for repair.
if this is the case anybody know where i can get the t mobile rom from for waranty.thanks

Hi
I use Belkin and and PK3.0 wm6 with WPA-TSK security enabled Wi-Fi connection to my athena no problem. You may have set up 54g connection only enabled in the router settings.
on the device start>> settings>> connections>>Wi-FI>>network Adapters then select IEEE 802........ and Select "The internet". Then press ok and reset the device
Belkin routers sometimes don't connect to the devices if you select higher security in wireless settings in the router. Therefore check the router's wireless settings.
set the device settings as above then Try modify settings in the router's wireless security settings. then save and restart the router and try connecting to the device.
I hope this will help you to connect to the Wi-fi internet. good luck
I dont know if this will help, but I have trouble connecting to my netgear router at home. It connects, but then shortly after, although still connected, loses its connectivity to the internet. To fix it, I have to turn off the power save mode to the wifi card and have the slidy bar to maximum performance to keep a connection
My preferred setup for WIFI
First and foremost, do a hard reset on the router by holding in the reset hole at the back for a few seconds until the lights blink.
Make sure security is OFF on the router and try to connect to it with your Ameo. If it works then yeehaa.....
The best setup I have at the moment with my router is with security DISABLED (believe it or not).
I then log into the router on my main pc and add a MAC FILTER list (i.e. the MAC addresses of the devices I wish to be allowed to connect to my router)
People may see a security-free router but they will NOT be able to connect unless their MAC address is on my router's list.

Errr - if they want to, yes they will. All they need do is scan the network for an active MAC address and then spoof their own MAC address to one already active on the network. OK, it's unlikely anyone would go that far but I would much rather simply use the security!
Ok, I looked on the WIKI and searched the site for a solution and was unable to find one.
Here is my problem. I have wireless internet at my house. My access point works fine. My laptop and PS3 connect to with no problem at all. My Touch pro connects to it with no problem. But, after I connect to the WIFI (and verify it is connected) I cannot use it?
I tried to open opera = "site not found" try to open Skyfire = "site not found"
I cant even update my weather while connected to WIFI. So thats my problem. I can connect to WIFI but not use it!
ANY AND ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank you in advance. iko[
anyone....
I'm having the exact same problem...

You and I are not the first. I researched this (in depth) and it is found on a lot of sites, people complaining about it....However, I have yet to find an answer, that is why I came here...these guys can usually solve some pretty complex stuff!
Hopefully someone answers soon......

ok i fix it....very very easy...under the "WIFI" settings there is a box to check...next to the box it says "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" check this box then under that is a choice for "EAP Type" choose the "smart card" connection....also turn off your data connection via the comm manager...for some reason my TP wont let me connect to WIFI when the data communication is enabled....good luck worked for me!

When I go into Settings, the Connections tab, and click on WiFi, I don't see any check boxes at all, let alone one for "Use IEEE ...".
I must be in the wrong menu/place. Could someone please help direct me to the right place?
you'll see the check boxes once you connect to a wifi..i also have wireless internet at my house, and can connect and use my wifi just fine.
try to install some app that block`s data connections from your mobile provider ... nodata for example, you can find a link to it on xda.
set all the other connections to disabled ... and you phone connection to GSM ... not GPRS, EDGE or something else ...
set your wi-fi connection to connect to the internet ... not to work.
this worked for me for a dlink 784 router, now i`m banging my head against a 524 (again DLink) and have the same problem it connects but does not get on the internet. the problem seems to come from the TP, some settings need adjusting but i didnt figure out which one yet ...
good luck
PS: for iko, i think you have your router set on enteprise security, not personal... for personal WPA, WPA2 with a PSK, and TKIP or AES encryption, the "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" is checked and greyed out, and you do not have access to it on the TP
Hi,
so kernel sources are released. Is there any fix for hero's wifi problems? I mean dropping connection to AP. It is so annoying, I tried to do everything: change channel, mode, encryption... Nothing helped. It is Linksys wrt160nl. The same applies to other networks (some public hot spots).
I never had this problem with my Linksys WRT54GL...

Could you paste your wifi settings? (mode, encryption mode, channel)
Using the Modaco custom ROM 2.8 (never had problems with modaco ROM and generic)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.25 firmware
Wireless Mode: Access Point
B/G Mode: Mixed
Channel: 1 - 2.412 Ghz (try a free one)
Security: WPA / WPA2 Personal
Encryption: AES
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
No Mac Filter
Under Advanced Settings I changed "Transmit Power" to 251mW for a better signal, the rest are default values.
Try to update your router firmware
Are you alone with this problem?
greetz
In case you haven't done so yet. Check out the Wifi Sleep Policy (access by pressing menu when you are in wifi menu). Normally the Wifi is turned off then the screen is turned off which can cause problem.
Similar problem with netgear wnr2000

Hi got similar problem with my router netgear wnr2000.what i found funny is that when i reset the router, the phone connects perfectly to the router, but after abt 24hrs or so, it fails to connect.even if i reboot my phone, or reset the connection on phone.fails to connect.it will only connect when i reboot the router. i will try the 'aes' encryption n see if that helps.will update if it works
Thanks for your replies. Please could other members share their experiences, used options and solutions. This issue is too common to simply forget it. I am trying to find some kind of pattern or special options, it requires.
i dont have a problem with wifi apart from the wont find or connect to n-range device other wise i use wifi all the time it never drops, on stock orange uk firmware
I have a Sitecom WL-173 router.
I cannot connect at all. I can, but only with no or WEP security. That is no option for me.
When I use WPA or WPA2 my Hero does view my network, but does not connect.
I called HTC about this problem. He told me that they do not support all routers. He could not tell me which they support and which not.

I also have the same problem. The way to solve it is to change the above setting to 'G' only. Not mixed/Hybrid.
Cheers!
I have not had any problems trying to connect to WiFi networks, until i went over to my mates place where he has the Virgin 50MB B-Band and also a D-Link wifi-N router, and my Hero could no see the network at all, even though his iPhone connected straight away.

I'm sorry, it hurt even more when i was sitting there pissed off that my Hero wouldnt connect to the Wifi!!!
I have Virgin 50meg at home no problem at all, went to my GF's who has basic Virgin cable 10meg on netgear G and would not connect at all.
No idea why, as it should be all fine!
I have the same problem. It is so ****in annoying. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware v1.25. Router is in "G only mode", WPA-2 PSK-AES security, I've set a static local IP for the phone, the phone's wireless is set to always ON... I basically tried everything I could think of. Ended up rooting the phone and installing Modaco 2.9... but didn't change anything. The only way I can get it work again when it drops is shut the Wi-Fi off then on...
Worst of all this is the problem seems widespread (but not universal)... What the **** does HTC think putting a ****in smartphone on the market with defective Wi-Fi... This is non-sense.
I really hope someone comes up with a fix or HTC updates this... otherwise we might want to start thinkin bout class action.

Is it a router setup or a Hero setting?
Pleaes explain if it's one of the options
probs here too ...
Linksys WAP54G v3.1
vs
HTC Hero
was working perfectly for first month or so, but has been getting worse and worse. ie, for a few weeks it would see the wifi but would usually fail to connect. now I'm lucky if it can see it at all!
have reflashed the wap with dd-wrt and experimented with a lot of settings. no diff.
have reflashed the hero with hero21 comunitry v1.6. no diff. (and also latest radio)
it just starts and stops when it feels like it.
oh, and my eeepc works fine on the same wifi, so I know it's not some wap screw up.
tried every tip I can find like 'use mixed mode' or 'g only', etc etc.
I am starting to think it's a hardware fault?
Same problem
Siemens Gigaset Tiscali modem with wpa psk2 tkip and T-mobile hero rom.
Sees the modem and connects with security first time but then says 'remembered out of range' on wifi settings but interestingly in wifi buddy it constantly has the syncing symbol next to the network.
Really annoying.
I've tried WEP and security off, wireless g only etc etc.
I have problems too but seems different to yours... but who knows : in fact i can't connect to wifi when the SSID is masked. Even if - or course - i put manuualy the ssid before with the good wep key. It happens on a livebox ( orange box )... but if i press the button to show the wifi network - it has to be made when you connect a device for the first time on this box - then it connects to the network... else it tells me that the network is out of range...
So does the wifi on hero has problem with masked SSID ? To compare i never had this problem - on the same box - with the touch diamond and the touch hd... and at home, not masking the ssid, the connection is ok without doing anything.
Ciao

I had the same problem with a Zyxel 660 router. I was able to connect to the wifi (WPA/PSK enable) but there was no data transfer possible.
So I updated the Radio ROM to the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 version and it solved the problem.
Hey guys, I've been searching around the forum and on google the whole night, but haven't managed to solve this problem I'm having.. I'm using Energy rom aug 10th version Cookie gtx.. I'm trying to use my laptop to browse the net using phone as a wireless router. Managed to connect, but it always shows "Limited Connectivity" on my laptop.. Meaning to say, I can't browse the net... I've gone through what some others have suggested eg. turning off "N" mode in bsb tweaks, making sure that the 2 adapters are one "Use server-assigned IP address", making sure that connection is to "The Internet" instead of "Work", updating the drivers for the wireless adaptor on my laptop ... but still, no joy for me... It's been a long time of searching, and I'm pretty worn out, so thought I'd post this question here before I hit the sack.... Anyone knows how I can solve this issue?? Sometimes my home network can be pretty buggy, so I thought that if I could use my HD2 as my router instead, I should at least face lesser problems, but turns out, I can't even connect properly! Help guys... Thanks!
*EDIT* Solved! Peeps who are having issues with using your Leo as a wireless router, follow the steps below!
Note: Credits go to DN41 as he was the one who walked me through it. Please thank him.. =) I'm just posting this as I'm sure that there are others who are also looking for a fix to this.. This may not be the best method, but in my opinion, it's better than no method at all... This should be the last resort if after trying out everthing else, and you still can't get it to work..
First step - On your Leo go to "Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters"
You should see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter...
Tap on them and change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1
When you're done, go out of that screen and it should be saved...
Second step - On your notebook, go to "Network and sharing centre ---> Manage wireless networks ---> Adapter Properties"
Untick the "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ---> Properties" and click "Use the following IP Address"
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Click ok, and then close the box. *NOTE: Do not use alternate IP's etc. It won't work.*
Start your Wireless router on your Leo and wait for it to start up, and from here you should be able to
connect to your Leo using it as a wireless router! Hope this has managed to help you guys! Thanks once
again to DN41!

not sure, but seems more of a PC problem,
what system are you running - I vaguely recall, that in Vista you could define the Home/Public connection type or sth like that
I'm not sure but I guess PC problem might also be the issue... I'm using Vista Home Edition... Do you know how to define the Home/public connection type and what kind of connection type should be set? Thanks a million!
I use Vista only sporadically, but the last time I tried to use my HD2 as a router for Vista laptop, I only succeeded after several attempts, what helped for the final and successful one was deleting the "Wi Fi router" from network list on PC, soft reset of HD2 (just in case) and start from the scratch
hmm.. so you deleted all the wireless routers?
no, only the HD2 one, which accidentally is named "Wi Fi router"
ok, will try and update here.. =)
=( Still no joy... Sigh...
The Wireless Router I used last week asked which provider to use at the bottom of the main screen. Vista will tel you that you have limited connectivity if you are associated to the WAP but don't have internet access. This implies that you have the wrong provider selected at the bottom of the main screen.
so you are using dhcp?
its worth to try static ip's, or not?
for example: LEO has IP 192.168.1.1 and your pc 192.168.1.2. make sure, that the gateway entered on your pc is LEO's IP..in this case 192.168.1.1
also make sure, that you have disabled IPv6 on your notebook.
that should really work...i dont like dhcp configurations and so i always use static ones...that ever worked!
DN41
okok.. this is getting a little confusing... Can you elaborate a little on what steps to take?
i think you should first check the advice one post before

Ok, which means to say, when you set up your wireless router on your Leo, you are given a choice to choose which provider am I right to say? Let me check and update you guys again.. =)
I've tried changing the settings on my wireless router on my leo to the one's which my provider uses for internet, but still, no internet access on my pc.. =( Going mad trying to configure this... anyone else knows how to fix it?? =(
now you could try static ip's.
i'm not sure, if wm asks you which ip to take while configuring the wifi router.
if yes, then you can give your leo the ip 192.168.1.1 - that should be everything for your leo.
on your pc, go to the settings of your wireless lan adapter. disable ipv6. then go to ipv4 configuration. set ip to 192.168.1.2, subnetmask (is this right translated?) is automatically 255.255.255.0 - finally set as gateway 192.168.1.1
that should work...
DN41
Ok, slow down a little here.. =) So on my Leo, the only place which I can see my IP is under the Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters
and I see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter... So I'm to change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1 ??
Next would be for my notebook, where I follow as above to configure the Ip address is that right? I'll update again after I try.. =)
ALRIGHT!! You're da man!! =) Managed to connect and I'm now typing this using the connection from my Leo as the router! Great! Thanks a million DN41! =)
it's a pleasure =) have fun

Hi guys,
Since I flashed Energy Nov13 on my HD2 I've had the same problem. Previously, I would just switch on the wifi router and connect automatically from my laptop, as if with DHCP, but now DHCP isn't working.
I followed the instructions above and I CAN connect to my phone now, except I can't access the internet through it. I changed the two adapter IPs to 192.168.1.1, my laptop is 192.168.1.2 using gateway 192.168.1.1 and the connection is eastablished. However when I try to load a web page I get an "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found." in Chrome.
This sounds like a DNS misconfiguration on my HD2, but nothing about DNSes was mentioned above. I can access the internet (with Opera) from my phone while the wifi router is active, but it doesn't seem to be routing that connection,
Any thoughts? This is kind of important, though I don't think I'm going to get it working today...
Hi everyone!
My Problem:
Ive got a WiFi network at home, where the said is the stand art name.
Fritzbox.
I was at a friend of mine where I connected to his network. He has an other ssid but the same router.
And there was a router which had the exactly same said as mine at home.
When I was home my phone couldn't connect because my father configured the device that unknown devices can't connect.
This works over the IP adress the devices get.
So the part that confuses me:
Why did my device got an other IP after connecting to the router of my friend ?
Or is it the fault of the router which had the same ssid?
I would like to change the ssid of our own router but my father refuses:
This is my device and I don't want to change anything.
Funny isn't he?
So what options do I have?
Is there the possibility to stop my mobile from connecting to "known" WiFi networks? (Or as we know networks with the same ssid)
Or was the router of my frirnd which is the same as mine the reason?
What can i do to prevent this problem?
I know changing the ssid of our router is the easiest way but my dad just refuses no matter what I say.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
