WIFI problems

---

In my nouse I have an WIFI network with WPA and WPA2. When I use encryption, even WEP, te connection is established but after a few seconds of data transfer, there is connection goes dead. I tested an open connection, a WEP 64, 128, WPA en WPA2 connection. All except the open unencrypted connection stop working after a few seconds. The Ameo keeps being connected to the accespoints, but there is no traffic anymore.

Has somebody else had this problem? I will try a hard reset to test it with a clean install.

Hi there what make is your Access point? (is it a Belkin or Netgear possibly?)

Accespoints

I have a Zyxel 2602HW and a SMC2870W.

You've not got a 3G data session already established have you? I'm guessing its a WM5 'feature' rather than a specific Ameo fault, but if you're got 3G running, then connect to a Wireless Access Point, it gets itself all confused and tries to use the 3G connection for net access. I normally just quickly turn the phone service off and on, once the wifi service is running, via comm manager.

I've also noticed something else, where if I'm sending or receviing e-mail, and I'm already connected to the wifi point, it doesn't know to use the 3G connection rather than the wifi point to access the t-mobile servers. You have to close the wifi session before it is able to send/receive the messages (which don't always immediatly retry) but I'm guessing that maybe I could do something with routing on the Ameo. I need to get a grounding of the network stack on it before I can do it.

No, I tested it by putting it in flight mode and then enable wifi. When I do not use encryption, there is no problem. It works and I can watch ip televison. But when I use encryption, I cannot get a connection with whatever url within seconds. Only reconnect give me again a few seconds. It is frustrating. My MDA PRO and my DELL X30 do not have any problems at all.

one more thing..my previous UNI it always auto detect..but not with dopod..

Compatibility

I found that the Athena is compatible with 3Com accesspoint but not with Zyxel or SMC. I use my neighboors 3Com and that worked. I decided to install my old 3Com Home Connect accesspoint and that one also worked. But the others do not. At this point it does not matter if I use encruption or not. Only the 3Com devices work. Does anybody hav another type of device that works?

Odyssey Access Client

I found this WPA/WPA2 client from Junipur http://download.juniper.net/software...gned.ARMV4.CAB

If you have installed this install directly the following file and reset your device. ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com...OnlyFALLEN.cab

Now you will see that the Ameo will connect to the other accesspoints.

So you see there is a bug in the WIFI part of the radio rom!

No problem for me, i´m usung a netgear WG834GT for the moment.
Maybe my HTC X7500 Advantage has some other roms with the problems solved because it is swedish

I have no problem using the WIFI. I'm normally able to see about four if I'm at home. The other access points are my neighbours', some of which are secured while others are'nt. If I connect to any one of them they tend to drop off after a while due to week signals. Even if I use my own within the house, the signal is weak sometimes, in which case, the system automatically goes to UMTS connection which is far far faster in my case (Because my WIFI's bottlenect is from the slow ADSL speed of 512kbs download speed max, and my phone, running at UMTS, has higher speed.

So, check the signal strength and see if this is the cause.

Since my works all the time, may be by showing you my wifi configuation for comparison might help.
I'm using WEP data encription. The network key is entered on start>setting>connection>Wi-Fi. I would see all the hot spots there. After I selected my own WIFI, I select connecting to the internet and press NEXT. In the next screen I chose Open WEP and untick automatic box. I then enter the network key which I obtain from my router administration screen on my PC.

That's it. I hope you have your problem resolved soon
