WiFi Problems With 2 Networks

Hi
I have a wifi AP at home, and one at work, Both use WPA-PSK with mac addy auth. SSID Visible cause sh1te WM2003SE OS cant cope with hidden SSID.
Get a whole load of oddities from the XDA IIs. Both SSID's and keys are listed in the wifi setup on the device. What I would expect is that if I switch the device on when I am within range of the AP @ work, it connects to it no fuss, likewise, when I drive home, switch XDA on it connects, no fuss, unfortunately this is not usually the case. The following are in order of likelyness to occur!
Problem 1
Sometimes I switch it on, and it sits there searching for eons, never finds AP. If I disable and then re-enable wifi on the XDA then it connects.
Problem 2
Sometimes, the XDA will tell me that its connected to my home network when I am at work - it isn't!
Problem 3
Sometimes I switch it on, it connects to the AP, but no net connectivity - looking. Using PPC Ipconfig, I see that device never managed to get an IP addy. Stop, start wifi problem resolves
Problem 3
Occasionally, the PPC forgets the shared secret, and I have to re-input it, start/stop wifi before it will connect to the AP
Problem 4
Sometimes, it just BLUNTLY REFUSES to connect to the AP if I do the above. In this case I try all the above with a soft reset as well. If that fails then I need remove all the wifi AP's, soft reset, wait (ages) for it to see a new AP, enter the PSK then it will connect.
It also struggles to connect to other APs (wifi hotspots). Things work a whole lot better when there is just one AP involved (i,e not work and home).
Prob 4 occurs once/week, prob 1 occurs every day, others somewhere between. All problems are of course COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for a product that has been released to the consumer.

Hello Veledron,
I've a similar problem: at our company WLAN is set up to reqire WPA and authentication with user certificates. Since it is not possible to import user certificates in Windows Mobile 2003 SE "out of the box" I found out how to do that - it is described here
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/crtimprt.html
a little bit difficould procedure, but it worked - I can see my personal company certificate in the private-certificate store of my MDAIII.
The problem is, that I can't get a connection. WLAN-Manager says "connected", but I can't receive an IP-address - and in the logs of our Cisco-APs I can't see anything from my PDA. What also is a little bit strange for me: the MDAIII does not remember the setting "authentication with certificates", it always switches to "authentication using PEAP"...
any idea?
thanks
Gerald

Hi Veledron & gekap
I too have similiar problem with my netgear router at home. It seems that everytime it connect to the network it will just keep scanning eventhough it prompt that it already connected. It been 2 days and still i cannot manage to connect
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem.

There is.... Turn off AP, or move device to location where it is out of range, remove all WiFi profiles from device, hard reset, turn on router. wait (ages) for device to realize that there is a wifi ap nearby, enter PSK, all is well.
There seems to be no pattern to the WiFi failures, I have to do the above maybe twice a week to get it to connect. When the device gets itsself into a poor state this is the only way.
You cant delete an active profile, and the profile list only appears when wifi is turned on (stupid!) hence the need to turn off the AP.
Nigel

Hi Guys,
I manage to solve my wifi problem,
i just add the XDA IIs mac address to my netgear router plus assigned a reserve ip address based on it mac address and was able to connect successfully with no problem. Hope this solution helps.

Hi,
thanks for the tips, but all of them are not a solution for me. I do not have any problems connecting to WLANs using WEP or to unencrypted WLANs, but i guess that there are problems with WPA in the PDA2K. I think the guys of you who have succussful connected to a WLAN using WPA have done that using WPA-PSK, not WPA with TKIP as encryption-method and PEAP or certificates as authentication method over 802.1x.
In our company TKIP is mandatory, and it is necessary to use certificates for authentication - this can be done with either EAP-TLS (so called "smartcard or certificate" in the setup-menu of the PDA-2k) or using PEAP. I've troubleshooted this a lot, and I can't see any authentication packet coming to our Cisco-APs from the PDA2K using this methods (I've turned on advanced logging on the APs to see any little bit...).
I fear the worst, that the WLAN-driver of the PDA2K does not support TKIP! Of course WPA is supportet from Windows 2003 Mobile SE, but in my opinion that is not enough - the card driver down the OS must also support the whole WPA-Standard, and it seems to me that the PDA2K driver does only support WPA-PSK. I found an article which can be an explanation of the problem:
http://www.socketforum.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2924
So I've 2 questions to you:
.) which driver version is installed on your PDA2Ks? (you can find that in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Drivers\Wavedev - I've: Common: 0.04.01, Device: 1.06.01 GER, DriverVersion: 0.08.00, Patch: 1.00)
.) has anyone of you ever connected to a WLAN using WPA (not WPA-PSK!)?
thanks
Gerald

Unable to connect Wireless Lan when phone signal is weak?

Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird problem and please let me know if it's only my problem or there is some work around for it.
My phone is SX66 upgraded to 1.40 ROM + 1.13 Radio stack
I can connect Wifi fine whenever I have some phone signal (at work). Whenever I go home where the phone signal is weak then the WIFI couldn't get connected (I believe I set up my home network correctly as I've been using it for so long and configure it for several computer/laptop in house). The network could detect the AP with the SSID but I just couldn't connect to it even I'm sitting right next to the AP.
ROM 1.40
Radio: 1.13

Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
If you're sure you're just not connecting however, things to check are;
WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
Interference - Wireless A/V Senders and digital cordless phones are common culprits for RFI. 802.11x APs support multiple channels (most default to channel 11), and you can change these in case of interference. Once again, if you have other WiFi gear already connected with good, strong signals, you can probably discount this one.
Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you are.

Thanks for your reply.
> Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Yes, I've check wireless status on the phone. "Connected to the network", and the AP with DHCP on showed the status of an IP has been allocate to the SX66 mac address. However I dont' really believe it then I check the "Adater", it said network available, and the WIFI icon just didnot show any traffic.
> Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
I've experience once with the internet connection via Active Sync so I disable the passthrough. Both home and work doesn't have proxy server so I selected not to have any on the phone.
> WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
At work, I have 128 WEP and the connection works fine with the key. At home, I open my network but using MAC filtering to protect it. I have problem with the open network one at home. Perhaps, I will try to setup WEP at home and see if it can work.
The only thing I'm not really clear is the difference between setting "WPA" and "WPA-PSK" from the phone.
> DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
Yes, DHCP enable as I don't want to change it back and forth when traveling.
> MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
I do it and I already opened the network and then captured the MAC address into the AP memory. (that's why I think it's connected but will check).
> Interference -
Not really, I'm 6' away from the AP and I don't have any cordless device in my computer room.
> Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you
are.
No problem, I'd like to learn more about this PDA. The concept is about the same with PC, but the tools to debug is not there. I can't use tracert/traceroute, ifconfig or ping broadcast to really know if I'm the network.
Once again, thanks a lot.

Okay, well it sounds like you're on the right track & know what you're doing.
A useful troubleshooting tool, which gives you tracert, ping, whios, ipconfig and a host of other tools is "vxUtil", which is freeware. I'd give you a URL for downloading it, but I'm on my iMate now (sipping coffee by the Yarra in a Melbourne Cafe - oh what a techno-wanker am I!), but search these forums or Google it and you'll find it.
Now, regarding the proxy thing... These PPCs are a little tricky with their internet settings, and I had to create a different 'connect using...' connection profile, if that makes sense. The important setting within the profile, which is under the Proxy tab, from memory, is "This network connects to the internet".
Now for some reason, if you don't enter in a proxy server here, that check-box doesn't stay checked when you ok your way out. So what I've had to do is go into the advanced area & enter anything in the "wap" proxy, then ok out.
Strange, but it seems to work. Although I always leave my "Private network" on "My Work Network", I can now browse the 'Net through the WiFi AP/Router.
Download vxUtil & see if you can ping your AP, then go from there.

I've worked around the problem by using static IP address instead of depending on DHCP. Thanks to Hitchhiker software. I noticed that it was trying to obtain IP address from DHCP but failed. (The very same DHCP work wells for the rest of my network). Anyway, I will use Hitchhiker to switch IP back and forth if necessary.
Thanks a lot!

Great to hear you found the problem - well done.

Anyone using WPA-PSK ??????????????

Home LAN ok with WEP but can't connect to works WPA-PSK secured network.
I have a fairly new ROM
Operator version 5.40.1.179
Rom version 1.40.00 WWE
Rom date 03/10/05
Radio version 1.06.02
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtROM version 1.40.179 WWE
Don't really want to do another ROM upgrade unless it is ABSOLUTELY essential. Anyone have a similar ROM with a working WPA-PSK network?
When we set WPA-PSK on the Blue Angel it insists on 802.1X authentication with either smart card or certificate. Our network doesn't use either but the tick box to turn off IEEE 802.1X access is greyed out on the BA. It isn't greyed out when we use WEP.
Is there a registry setting I could amend to turn off IEEE 802.1X when WPA-PSK is activated.
Do radio upgrades also require full hard resets?
Do hope someone can help.

On the Network Key screen what are you setting in the Authentication drop down? You should be choosing WPA-PSK and Data Encryption TKIP. Uncheck if checked The Key is provided for me automatically, and enter the key in network key box. Key index should be 1 by default. You should IGNORE the 802.1x tab.
I will let others answer regarding the Radio ROM upgrade as I am not sure what exists for the BA. But I doubt that this would solve the question anyway.
Hope this helps!

Jbn,
We are doing exactly as you say (TKIP, uncheck auto key, enter key & key index 1). We haven't been trying to set the details on the 802.1x tab but when we failed to connect we took a look at it.
We have MAC filtering set up and have included the BA MAC address (as provided by vxIP). Checked and double checked the key.
Just been informed that setting EAP type to PEAP in 802.1x tab rather than smart card or certificate might help.
Fingers crossed this will fix it.

Got it working
I had it working with my K-Jam original ROM, although I would much prefer support for 802.11i/AES...
Does anyone know if AKU2 introduces support for WPA2/AES/EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS?
Now, there's a trick I think I read here before:
type your PSK with your on-screen keyboard, not the hardware keuboard.
Give it a try and let us know.
Cheers,
Hal
Oooops! Sorry guys, BA forum... My post is partly irrelevant.

Blue Angel will not connect to 802.11G network
I thought I would try out a few of the suggestions on my home LAN even though it was working fine under WEP. Then I would be set up for the office LAN on Monday (or so I thought).
It turns out my wireless access point does not have WPA-PSK facility (I may look for a firmware upgrade tomorrow).
However when I changed the network from mixed mode to just 802.11G I was unable to connect to it. Resetting back to mixed mode & it connects ok. It would appear that my problem is not WPA-PSK but more specifically 802.11G networks. Does WPA-PSK only operate on 802.11G networks or can it run on 802.11b?
I have seen the 5 page thread on the Wizard index relating to a cab installation / registry fix to enable 802.11g access. Unfortunately the cab didn't install on the Blue Angel.
Can anyone suggest a fix and do you have 802.11g access with your Blue Angels?

BA does not have 802.11g. The Wizard supports it with appropriate ROM or Registry updates.
WPA-PSK is independent of B/G. So, yes, if your workplace is G only then this could explain the problem that you are having.

Thanks jbn, it's starting to make sense now.
I have just made the registry entries required by the Wizard to my BA. I'll reboot and set network to g and see how it goes..............
EDIT
DID NOT WORK. Perhaps the BA hardware simply can't do 802.11g. Can anyone confirm the WiFi of the BA is different to the Wizard AND not capable of 802.11g?

IIRC, the BA uses TI's TNETW1110 chip, which does *NOT* support 802.11g at all. The code for supporting the newer TNETW1130 (which is what I think they use in the Wizard) is actually present ... which is why WiFi will become disabled if you turn on the 802.11g registry hacks in your BA ...

BA cannot do 802.11g because of the hardware. Never, ever.
If you have a g access point, it must be set to mixed mode for the BA (or any b-only device) to connect. Note that while the b device is active on the network, any other g clients will see slower connect speeds because of the compatibility mode. This is why some homogeneous environments would set to disallow b connections.
As far as WPA-PSK goes, I am using it with my BA. Any connect problems I've had were always due to something set wrong on the AP. The BA is WPA, not WPA2 (a/k/a 802.11i). Also, it does not support the AES mode of encryption. So make sure your AP is set to WPA-PSK (1 is usually implied when 2 is not supported) and TKIP, not AES or TKIP+AES.
One other suggestion. If you happen to be using a certain type of Linksys AP, there was a bug in one version of the firmware whereby if you had ever entered WEP keys and then tried to switch to WPA, it wouldn't work without first clearing the WEP keys with a hard reset. I had this issue and it drove me crazy until I read about the solution.
Hope this helps,
Paul

ratazzi,
Thanks for your comments.
Don't think they will like it at work if I tell them I need to slow the network down for 50 users just so I can connect my BA
Could I connect a 802.11b wireless access point to my desktop / laptop at work (connected to the internet) and connect my BA to the access point without slowing down the rest of the network?
It is good to know that the BA can do WPA-PSK even if only at 802.11b. I realise 802.11b is fast enough for the BA but if corporate networks are running at 802.11g then the BA will fail to connect at any speed.
Any other solutions to connect a BA to 802.11g?
ActivSync is ok but I would prefer wireless.
Is there a SD LAN card that would do 802.11g (plus WPA-PSK)?

Enabling mixed mode on a decent Wireless Access Point will not force all clients to run at 11Mbps. Those that can will do 54, those that can't won't.

You can do that.
However your IT staff would probably go beserk.
I check regularly to ensure that none of my users has done the very thing ... One user demended that he be allowed to and got very annoyed when I refused. He didn't see anything wrong with introducing a consumer grade (read low security) AP into an environment where we had paid top dollar for AP's with heavy security and spent many many hours locking everything down as much as humanly possible.
Remember WPA-PSK is not intended for enterprise level security ... it's better than WEP but given a poor passphrase it's vulnerable.

A quick search of google says yes. Don't know if they are any good ... perhaps you could let US know?

Some good points there Doormat.
If I use a complex passphrase (WPA-PSK) and MAC filtering I am assuming it will be relatively safe i.e. as safe as the main network since that is what the network guys have set up.
Having recently purchased an E100, 2 off E200's a C500 and a M2000, together with about 3GB of SD cards my budget is rather stretched.
As soon as I can I will pick up a SD LAN card and post my results.
Thanks for all the help from XDA-developers.

Doormat,
My attempts with google suggest 802.11g only exists for CF cards not SD cards. Or that was the comment made 8th Jan by ms mobiles http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4767.html
Do you have a link for a SD card?

802.11b devoces will impact 802.11g device!
JBN,
I have to partly disagree with you:
using mixed mode will negatively impact the throughput of you .11g network.
This is due to the protection bit that is being set then for the .11g devices/APs.
The global effect is that while the datarate of the 11g clients will be of 54Mbps (potentially), the real throughput on an enterprise grade AP will be at best around 17/18Mbps instead of 25-27Mbps.
That's a very good reason for corp netadmins to try and ban .11b devices on an 11g network...
Doormat, I agree with you. In my terminology an AP brought by an end-user in a corp network qualifies as a rogue AP and will be immediately blocked.
WPA2/802.11i/RSN with eap-tls/ttls or PEAP is the first basic rule of thumb... Even @home that's what I run. Call me paranoid ;-)
Cheers,
Hal

hal, you are technically correct of course, but the net result in most configurations is not noticeable as far as performance goes. There is a huge difference with WAPs that were forced to B for all clients when only one such client had connected amongst a set of Gs. In my (limited I accept) experience there is no practical difference for most of the time. In high bandwidth environments it is an academic discussion because in those circumstances systems should be connected using 100BaseT or GigE in a switched network rather than a collision-prone network.
Let's not lose sight of the original question though with this level of technical conversation!

Connecting with WPA2-PSK[AES] in WM6

I have a t-mobile Dash. I'm trying to connect to my home router/AP using WPA2-PSK. I've double-checked my network key and other settings, but I can't seem to get it to connect. Here are my settings:
Network name: GTHOME <- matches my router's broadcast SSID
Network type: Internet
Not a hidden network
Not an ad-hoc connection
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Data encryption: AES
The key is not automatically provided
Network key: (matches my router's key)
Key index: 1
Does not user IEEE 802.1x network access control. (I've tried it both ways, with PEAP
On trying to connect, my Dash give this message:
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
The AP is a Netgear WPN824 v2 with the latest firmware. Any suggestions?
TIA

Try using a 9 letter word for your key.

I had an 8 letter key before. I tried 9 - no luck. What's magic about 9?

Guy, do you have a Mac Adddress Filter area on your router?Open your router so no key is required to make a connection and after you establish a connection use the WEP or WPA2-PSK key option! Can you find your Mac address and your Phone's Ip address on your router. You can find this info on your phone also in Comm Manager> setting> Wifi> Connection Status area. There is a place on your router to put this info, so that the router will know that its ok to connect to this device with this info, I believe its in the advance area on your router and use the 10 key WEP if possible!

Install NetWorkMagic To You System
Go to http://www.networkmagic.com and install the trail version on your PC. Networkmagic will tell you if your system is setup correctly or if their is some kind of problem. Use the network map, this will give you a good ideal of whats going down on your system......! If you cannot see your phone on the network map, then Houston, we got a problem...........!But we will fix it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Yep 8 is secure enough. try again without any caps or numbers. e.g. give aaaaaaaa a try
And see that error you mention, that looks like the one IE gives. What happens when you press connect in the wifi list?

I found that having any character other than a-z, 0-9 would cause the dash to fail to connect even though pc's and laptops had no problems. My initial key contained a "-" and "$"-- it drove me crazy trying to figure out the problem until I realized only the dash couldn't connect.

I double-checked the MAC address filter - it's turned off.
I was able to connect with Open Authentication and WEP Data encryption, and if I disable security altogether. Neither of these options is satisfactory.

I also tried 'aaaaaaaa' as the key. It doesn't work in either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK with TKIP or AES encryption.
The warning I get when I press the connect key in the wi-fi list is -
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."

Make sure the Key Index on the phone matches the Key Rotation on the router.

I don't think I'm using Key Rotation. Isn't that just for WEP? And, only if you have a RADIUS server? I just have a simple home network, nothing fancy.

I have a basic USRobotics router and it supports key rotation for WPA2. I had it set to 0 (meaning off), however there was no equivalent setting on my S621. The S621 could only be set at 1,2,3,or 4. When I set both the S621 and the router to the same number (in my case 4) I was able to connect.

My netgear doesn't have a place to set key rotation. I tried each key order (1 - 4) on the phone - no luck.
I even tried installing the evaluation version of CommView for WiFi (http://www.tamos.com/products/commwifi/) so I could see what each device is doing. But, I don't have a compatible adapter.

Your Router's IP Address Is 192.168.1.1 Not 192.168.0.1

For your router with IP address 192.168.1.1 with the WPA encryption, turn on the MAC address Filter and install the phone's MAC address in the router in the appropriate area, save settings (soft reset)! Now your phone will now be able to connect to your network via wifi.........!

Well, it's working now in WPA-PSK(TKIP) mode. Here are the changes I made:
I installed a new battery (my Dash started dying every time I turned on wireless while on the battery).
I removed a network called "Free Public Wireless." The Dash would try to connect to this network when it failed to authenticate on my encrypted network.
I suspect the "Free Public Wireless" network was interfering with the login to my home network. I'm just happy that it's working.

Hi, all,
I have the same problem:-
"Cannot connect tot the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
After some troubleshooting, I found that this problem will go away when I set some IP address in the network adapter.
I have confirmed that my password (network key) is correct and my MAC filter are also correct.
The only changes that I can think of is that I went to US last week and connected using hotels' wireless access. No IP settings were done during the connection.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Can't connect to my home wireless router.... help please

Hey
I just got this phone.
Anyways, thought it'd be great to connect to my home internet.
We have an Airport Base Station. It's passworded with WPA Personal.
Anyway, it goes to connect, says I need a network key. I type the password in and it fails to connect. I figure I need to set it to WPA.
I go to configure and then click my router in the list.
In 'General' Tab I've got it as 'connects to the internet'.
In Network key I'm pretty sure i've tried them all. Some settings has the network key grayed out. Other settings I type it in, click ok and it INSTANTLY says the network key isnt correct. Wouldn't it need a moment to verify with the router if I'm typing the right password?????
Anyway I think I've tried all combos. Then when I click my router and hit connect, it says connecting for a moment, then goes back to available.
Any ideas?
I did a hard reset. I havent updated the ROMs or anything yet... would that be wise?
Cheers

O2xda2s on T-mob rom 2003 2GbSD - Pre-pay O2sim

Last I checked, the angel only supports 802.11B, not G.
No G = no WPA, only WEP.

hmmm
but it has WPA settings in the network key tab?
also it refers to it as 802.11X I think?

ok guys do not confuse encryption with network speed, personally i use in my BA and router with setup WPA PSK (Personal Key) with TKIP encryption, secure and compatible solution
if encrypption is WPA2 the BA will not connect

Shows how long it's been since I updated my angel then, I was not aware that a WPA stack had been added to the available ROM's.
