My Jasjar makes my Laptop Wi-Fi network connection down

[nq22124a]

I have a jasjar with the latest rom, and i need to sync with my laptop (sony vaio vgn-a497xp) witch connect to internet trougth my belkin pre n router, so far so good.
When i plug the usb cable to sync, my wifi connection on my laptop drops.

:( Does anyone had this problem ?

This is a 'works for me' post i'm afraid just so you know that it works for someone!!

Once you have it connected once, how about synching over bluetooth after - see if it still drops? Also, try th sync with wifi on the jasjar turned off.

802.11b/g/n interop does not work right on a great deal of routers (due to the inability of the manufacturers to follow the ruddy specs!). I was thinking that perhaps close proximity interference rather than the act of connecting activesync was causing the drop.

Yes i have the same problem I have a toshiba portege, and its inbuilt software is set so that if you are using wireless and you plug in a network cable it will turn off the wireless, And the same if you unplug the cable the wireless will switch back on.

but my laptop configures the USB conection to my Exec as a network connection, and thus disables the wireless,

My fix ( work around ) is to disable the "auto switch" and basically use wireless even when the laptop is docked with a cabled network connection.

Hi all,..

try to use an different channel on your laptop...

on XP open the propperties of your WiFi card, and search for the option to change the channel

Is your wireless on WEP or WPA encryption. Many have found that if on WPA the connection drops. Try switching to WEP and it will probably cure the problem.

This is eactly the situation I have.

nq22124a,

What wireless card do you have in your laptop? It wouldn't be an Intel Pro 2200 bg, would it ?

:D Many Thanks :D It Works !

I disable both wpa and wep, and switch to mac adress control on my router, and my connection, dont drop anymore.

PS. yes, my network card is the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network

Once again, thank you ! :D

I have the same card, that's why I asked. I know of at least 2 different people who have the same situation as us.

Intel 2200bg cards, AS 4.x and WPA does not work, ony WEP. The others I know have different PPC devices, laptops & routers.

You don't have to disable all encryption, WEP works fine and is better than nothing.

Could you post what driver version you are using ? However, right now I'm not sure it's the drivers as I've changed drivers to at least 3 different versions with no luck
