Hi All...
My 1st post,, a shame it is about a problem. :(
Anyway, after examining the 4 WM6 versions currently available I went for the Dutty upgrade.

I followed the Hermes guide to the letter, & EVERYTHING seems to have updated perfectly.
Including my radio firmware being 1.41 now.... WM6 seems to be running like a dream aw well.

However, when i go to connect to my local wifi router, despite it SEEING the ssid, & signal strength & saying it is available etc.... It even starts to initiate.... (my tytn picking up the SSID & channel num etc. ) But it fails to connect (i.e. getting an IP address) & throws up a timeout error.

BTW, my wifi zone has NO security applied to make it easy to connect to - ALL my home PC's etc are all connected & working fine.

Before i upgraded (older radio firmware & WM5) the tytn DID connect.

Strangely enough - Sitting in another room, my Tytn can find another open Wifi router from my neighbour - who also has no security.... when i select this router - the Tytn DOES CONNECT!!! - & I can brouse the net via HIT Wifi - So it does work?????

So what could it be? - something to do with the radio firmware? WM6 maybe? or something subtle with my router settings that didn't pose a problem before, but do now??? - My Router is a D-Link DI-524 - And has been perfect & trouble free for all devices connecting to it for nearly a year.

Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Reset the D-Link, I had A D-Link and had simmilar problems with my notebooks, a simple reset of both devices would solve the problem, I now use a NetGear 802.11g router with no problems ever.

Interestingly, I've just downgraded the Radio Firmware from the 1.41 to 1.40 & It does now want to connect... but still a bit hit & miss.....
As i said above, before any of the upgrades, the Wifi DID work & connect quickly... so this is suggesting that it is the newer Radio Roms that is causing the incompatibility.

Dutty's WM6 is FAB!! - I recommend it highly - In fact more so than the Black 2.5!!!

Find out what channel and frequency youre neigbours router is and switch youre D-Link to those specs. Basiclly try conecting youre device to it and monitor what channel and frequency it connects to.
