Problem setting up a wi-fi connection .. as in, can't!

[mjt2810]

This is all very odd. Tried to set up my Diamond to work with my BT Home Hub router last night and it just wouldn't find it, found all manner of neighbours routers, just not mine, despite both my laptop and ipod touch connecting no probs.

Anyone else had this problem???

This might not be the solution but worth checking.....

I had a problem finding my work wireless network, it wouldn't find it or allow manual setup to it despite putting in the right password and SSID etc.

I therefore ticked the option "This is a hidden network" when setting up a wireless connection and all worked fine.

I am not familiar with the BT Home Hub, but you may want to confirm your router network protocols. If it is a newer, "N" wireless hub, the TD may not support that. You may need to configure your router to run in a N-B hybrid or something like that.

That's a good point actually. The Touch Diamond isn't very future-proof as it doesn't appear to support the next wifi standard. Maybe that's a sign that it won't get a WM7 update...

An N router should be able to handle B/G as well.

And the Diamond is hardly behind the times because it doesnt support N.

And the Diamond is hardly behind the times because it doesnt support N.

My laptop is over half a year old, and it supports the draft specification (it seems that probably only software updates will be required to support the final specification). Clearly the Touch Diamond hasn't been designed with the future in mind, and who can blame HTC? The iphone 3G is coming very soon...
