WIFI doesn't work (WM6)

[johnbcutton]

Hi,

My Athena runs WM6 with ROM 2.21.405 and Radio 1.50

Activation of WIFI in COM Manager => OK
Connection to WIFI access point => OK
Get IP address => OK
Open web link on IE => NOT OK with error "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again"
Doing a soft reset doen't help

I tried accessing the Internet from my PC through the same WIFI access point and it works fine. The router/WIFI gateway is from EDIMAX

Thanks a lot for your help

John

Try - Start, settings, connections, wifi, network adaptors tab.
Under 'My network card connects to' ensure it says 'The Internet' and not 'Work'.

Pantaloonie,

It says "The Internet" and not "Work" so the problem does not come from here.

If am not wrong, you need to check

Start/Settings/Connections/Wi-Fi/ click and hold on to your network name/Edit/Next

does your Authentication in Athena match your router setting?

In Athena, there are few choices,
Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK

Normally Open is selected, otherwise set your router to match.

pdajoy,

WIFI is not secure, there is no WEP encryption. Authentication is set to "Open" on the Athena but it doesn't work.


Thanks

Is your network name shown in Configure Wireless Networks page?
If yes, then tap on it, should brings you to next page,
If your network name hidden, tick the option box, otherwise blank,
Leave Device to device connection un-ticked, Next
Authentication: Open, stay,

Try -Data Encryption, WEP
Try -Key is automatically provided, tick and un-tick, Next, Finish, Connect.
Correct selection for the above is important.

If still unsuccessful,
you may need to verify your Athena with other available unsecure wireless link.
