Help with wifi not working

[jschaff]

I have done hard reset and soft resets and still my wifi is not connecting.

Finally my EDGE is working great but wifi not. Whenever I try to connect my SSID is set to "EMC Wireless Internal" channel 11. I have no idea where this cam from but I can not get rid of it. I have a new FIOS Actiontec router with wireless enabled to my network name, channel 10. And Hitchhiker tries to connect but it keeps getting bumped off.

I have gone into MediaNet and turned off the proxy and checked for it to go onto the internet on Cingular GPRS.

I have not had a problem connecting before on wifi. I wonder if the router is a problem here, or if my phone settings are screwed up.

And ideas?

Thanks

*The Bad News*

By default, if EDGE/GPRS is configured to work, WiFi is rendered useless.
You didnt mention what carrier you have. I have Cingular and they even state on there website that If you configure the Edge/GRPS to connect, then WiFi may not work.

*The Good news*

I have my 8125 working with both Edge and WiFi. Heres what I did:

1. Open Connnections and click on the 'ADVANCED' tab.

2. Click on 'SELECT NETWORKS'.

3. The top pull down should be set to 'MY ISP' or, if you have named your WiFi connection something different, select it here.

4. Click 'EDIT' under this pull down and set connection to 'AUTO PICK'. 'OK' back to Network Management screen.

5. The bottom pull down should be set to 'MEDIA NE'T.

6. Click on 'EDIT' under this pull down. This is where you will set up EDGE using your carrier's settings.

7. 'OK' your way back out. Your done.

These settings let WiFi try to connect first. If no WiFi is available then EDGE/GPRS is used.

Good Luck!

I also have WiFi problems after installing HTC official upgrade
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/11/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.25.11.102
Everything is great except after successful connection to home WiFi it disconnects after maybe 5 to 15 seconds ... network becomes "unavailable" .. no error message. This happens even when not connected to CIngular EDGE/GPRS (flight mode ON then, individually enable WiFi ON for what that's worth). When I delete my home network WiFi entry to force a re-recognition and setup, it recognizes the wireless net just fine (again) but same behavior.

All my settings are already set as suggested by ralugniC8125 in this thread. I had not tried any of the other ROMs with added features/hacks/fixes found on this website ... would any of them behave differently, you think? PHone was bought from Cingular .. I have not done any unlock procedure (don't really need to from a service standpoint but will if necessary to make a new ROM work right).

Any thoughts appreciated...

I have just purchased an unlocked Tilt from eBay. I have been scanning the wiki for days now, along with other sources, and to no avail. I still cannot get my WiFi to work properly. If any one has had this issue and has found a solution, I would love to know it!

:cool:

ok, here's a suggestion since none of you have mentioned it.

Diable the MAC (Media Access Control) Binding on the router. This should help.

Maybe yall can help me now I have it attempting to connect however it only connects to gprs and it even shows it has a great wifi signal

Thanks for the suggestion. This did not help unfortunately. I should mention that I have tried to access several different types of routers... with and without security, and while they are showing up as being available, they will not stay connected for more than a second or two.

Any other possibilities?
