hello again!
i finally managed to reanimate my mda3 and flashed it with some newer rom files. actually everyhing seems to work, everything besides the wireless lan connection!
i just cannot accomplish an internet connection with the wlan i have and i am pretty sure, that the settings are all correct! there must be some problem with the mda's ethernet adapter, but i dont know what!?
the adapter seems to be searching and scanning the connection, but when trying to connect to the internet with the browser, i cant.
are there known problems with wlan, which appear after certain rom updates?
is there a way to check, if the wlan adapter of my mda is still working?
i really dont know how to start and eventhough i read thru lots of postings regarding wifi, i was not able to fix it myself!
please help me!
thx in advance,
k
hello again!
i still can not connect to the wlan!! it's freaking me out and the more i read, the more confused i get! please help me, if u can!
here are my current specs:
i have a PH20B Pocket PC with following roms installed:
ROM-Version: 1.42.01
ROM-Date: 09/05/05
Radio-Version: 1.13.00
Protokoll-Version: 1337.42
ExtROM-Version: 1.42.122 GER
are there known issues regarding those versions? (should i up/downgrade to an other rom?)
does WM5 have any advatages regarding this matter? or is it the same as 2003?
is there a way to check if the WiFi hardware of my device is still okay?
any help is very much appreciated!
thx in advance,
krztf
still...
hello again!
seems like i am talking to myself here again...
i searched the forum and read so many threads about that problem, noone ever posted a working solution! weird, because i think the wifi is one of the big pros of the Blue Angel!?
i can find lots of access points (with or without WEP), but i still cannot connect to any of them!
well, i managed to connect to one AP only once! (it was a open AP, Netgear hardware). so at least i know, that my wifi adapter is not broken or something.
is the blue angel's wifi adapter just cheap crap which is not compartible with most of today's hardware or am i missing something?
are there plugins or driver updates to cope with this?
i am curious: is there someone, who can connect to most WLAN Routers without problems?
hopefully, someone will share experiences soon...
regards,krz
There are some problems with the wm5 and wifi. With the explode's rom I can't connect with any network using wpa. So I tryed baniaczek's one and it worked better but I had other problems, so finally I downloaded the vanilla version of the latest aku and cooked my own rom so now I'm happy with it.
call me noob!
well...hi again.... i actually thought about changing my forum identity because i am a little ashamed right now... why? well.... i finally discovered where the actual problem with my wlan connection was.... the router i was desperatly trying to connect to can only be controlled and configured by my isp, whom i now called to find out that the router was set to "802.11g only" ... stupid!! all pros around here might know, that the mda 3 is only supporting 802.11b.... it took me hours and days to get that!!
long story told short: support guy reconfigured router to "mixed mode" and while still talking to him on the mda-phone, the mda-wifi connected without any problems... I AM HAPPY!
Always remember:
SET ROUTER TO MIXED MODE, FOR THE MDA III SUPPORTS 802.11b ONLY!

Call me "noob" II.... I have been enjoying my WM 6.0 upgrade on my SX66 for about a month now thanks to helmi's wizard. The ROM flash was flawless and I love all the new features beyond WinCE2004. however, I could not get WLAN connectivity no matter how I configured the network adapter or WLAN settings...... I am a Senior Network Engineer and have worked on 6 Gig microwave transmission systems since 1967 and thought I knew evrything about WLANs.... anyhow, as soon as I read your plea for help the light bulb came on and I reset my D-Link Gateway Router to allow 80211b connections and like your experience the BA was WLAN connected before I saved settings and exited the router.
Now like you I am happy and somewhat "humbled"..... I really appreciate your explanation of the problem and your followup on the trouble resolution which allowed me to only spend hours and not days to fix it!!
Thanls again,
wrdan
Hi there
I just had a problem like yours and solved it changing my router to work in 802.11b mode only... In mixed mode it behaves exactly like you mentioned in your case.
Check my thread
Hope it helps

hello to all!
sorry for openning new thread but i had bad days since i bought the jasjam
many rom comes out every rom very good and fast will lot of feature
but what about the wifi?
the wifi is very sucks,i cant find nothing
i seat in my work next to wifi place and my jasjam somtimes find the wifi somtimes no
even when it finds the net it disconnect after minute
do i need special driver ?
is there rom with good wifi?
plz help ?
or maybe the jasjam wifi very bad we need to seat very neer to the net?
Try Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wireless LAN > Power Mode and turn the Performance up to boost the wireless power.
hey guys. sorry for reviving this. i have been looking for a way to improve the wifi. i am aware of the power settings as posted above but i was wondering if there was any way at all to improve it any more.
we have 3 computers in the house running wifi from an access point. a desktop with a card, a laptop with a pcmcia card and a laptop with builtin wifi. it all works fine. both my dad and i have hermes devices (a jasjam and a dopod 838pro) but the wifi sucks on both of them.
im guessing we just have to put up with it? any help would be good though
The Wifi will never be great on them, they would have to be twice the size to have the correct sized antenna and it's only though trickery that the ones they have work at all.
You can try the above mentioned power setting for wifi on the hermes, or try getting a n-draft MiMO Access Point as these have really good range bosting.

right after i installed the new rom,i was having issues with the wifi in the sense that it couldn't find any wireless networks.just did a soft reset and it's been fine since. give it a try, might work.
I have a cingular 8525 (WM5, and updated from cingular) which can connect on my wireless at work, but when I want to connect to my personal wireless at home it cannot connect, but it does for unlocked wireless around my appartment.
There's nothing wrong with my wireless system, because my laptop can connect all the time.
It keeps telling me that the password is wrong, but it's right because it works for my laptop.
A highly trained friend in computers tried to fix the problem and he doesn't understand why it doesn't connect, even if i leave my wireless unlocked.
My wireless is from comcast and it's a fast cable-DSL.
I'm thinking to download WM6 and see if it gets fixed...
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I've experienced that too. Here's how I fix my problem.
1.set in PPC as hidden network.
2. Turn on WIFI, delete existing connections, then add new connection and assigned new key ( I use WEP) and that's it.
BTW. Did you set MAC filtering on your Router. If you do , you need to add the PPC MAC address to the router....
Good luck
I agree with pl55, however maybe you should post this in the main Hermes forum as this forum is for questions related to WM6...
Just a gentle suggestion
Mate,
There a few of us who have had strange things take place with wifi on the HTC handsets. Me being one of them. My wifi at home is 100% stable when it comes to pc's yet when it comes to my handheld it is completely unpredictable - until...........
I have just upgraded my ROM (again) to Black Shadow and all of the issues have gone away. I haven't even had to do anything extra. So what does this tell me????? It tells me that there are certain things in certain builds that cause anomolys problems.
I would give a different ROM a shot. I can vouch for the Black series but I am sure the others are equally good.
Before you do all of that, you might want to see if your handheld is actually seeing your SSID (if its not withheld) by using something other than the wifi software on the handset. Try something like wififofum (great little app).
Good luck.
All,
I just got my p3300 and successfully flashed wm6. COOL.
However I have a problem now and don't know if it is wm6 issue or my own net work:
with my laptop I can connect fine wirelessly to my router
With my p3300 and through usb through my laptop I can internet as well.
My p3300 sees all wireless networks fine, but cannot connect to my network.
I input all settings, have the correct passwork and key index. The phone tries to connect, but after 20 seconds responds that I have used the incorrect network key.
I tried using manual netork ip adress. then the phone does connect, but I cannot open an internet page.....
What am I doing wrong?
Patrick
I had the same problem. At the end i restarted my router and the connection worked fine.
Hi
How you do it? To flash wm6
I try but now my pocket not work.
Can you help me?
Thank you!

I haven't had any problems - but make sure that your router accepts 802.11b connections as well as 802.11g

This is strange . Most probably is my 3Com router in the office that has the problem - it is setup as 11g. At home ZyXel is 11b. Artemis ROM is BB4.1 with 802.11g enabled.
@all,
just havin sold my iphone i am missing synching my mails with my pda over wireless, since my belkin n1 wireless router simply doesnt allow my artemis to connect
so, mind you telling me how you connect successfully?!
- which hardware / wlan access do you use?
greetz
Any wireless router will help you connect with artemis. I have used Dlink, netgear and also linksys routers to connect.
TO connect sucessfully, you need to activate wireless on the router. Then enable wireless in your arte using the comm manager. Once the wireless is activitated, try searching for networks.
Regards,
Kailash
thanx,
but i really aint a novice!
I have tried the belkin n1 now for time and time again...it searches, finds the network, asks for the pin...and returns wireless as unavailable again...
this repeats regardless of security settings or anything else i tried
i remember there having been a lengthy discussion on this...just cant find it..
so back to my question:
which hardware does work?
ideally quote your settings as well, please
greetz
have you checked that both the router and artemis are using the same authentication type? WPA/WEP etc
it might be worth checking that your router isnt set to N-Only for connection speed too....cant remember what speeds the artemis supports but B or G are most likely and maybe your router would reject the connection if it's the wrong type...IIRC the 'N' spec is still in-progress so not widely supported yet
Try a D Link DIR-655

You are not alone!!! I bought a Belkin N1 Vision in December to replace an ageing 3Com router and no matter what I tried I couldn't get my artemis to work. Even without any security. Finally sent the Belkin back and got a D-Link DIR-655. It works like a dream. Connected with no problems at all.
Darn, that confirms what i thought for quite some time - anybody intrested in owning an N1Belkin!
Just doublechecked with an old netgear--and it connects right away...
thanx for ur help!
now could we widen the length of compatible routers, pls.?!
greetz
I use a sitecom 300N router and my artemis connects with it without any problem.
Phill
Netgear
Hi, I use a Netgear WNR834B. No problems using WiFi with Artemis.
Setup; WiFi up to 270 MbPs, region Europe, channel 6 broadcasting and the strongest encryption for security.
With all of the ROMs i have used, there were no WiFi issues.
Regards
This may be stating the obvious, and I apologize if it sounds stupid, but has anyone checked for the "wireless mode" on the router ?
Just ensure the router is on "mixed mode", i.e. it supports b/g/n connections...
Hope this helps...
hmm I also have problems with SMC (SMCWBR14S-N2), mixed mode, but not connect with Artemis.. my notebook connect without any problems.
had the same problem with n1. tried and tried last night with luck, removed all settings on artemis dissapointed. gave it another go this evening after booting system up and connected okay after putting in password.
just double check all the router wireless settings and any security settings you have. save any changes and restart the router.
hope this helps

Well done getting it to work. I thought I tried everything! Perhaps it was the restart that did it. Too late for me to confirm. My Belkin went back to be replaced with the DLink 655. Good router but does slow down with time and needs a reboot every now and then.
Hi All,
At my office we have a 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point.
Up to now I was not able to connect and I could not figure out why.
The router has MAC filtering enabled but this was all set correctly, I could see my TP2 MAC address in the client list but on my TP2 it kept saying connecting.....
At home and at friends my Wifi works flawlessly.
I did some searching here and stubmled upon this WM6 Wifi fix.
I thought what have I got to loose. Installed the cab, did a soft reset and presto it connected!!!
I installed the cab in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3157442&postcount=5
Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same....
The cabs you refer to are in the Prophet forum.
Are you sure you don't introduce other problems?

Yes I know, and I thought it was a long shot but I tried anyway. After a soft reset it still works and so side effect at all up to now..
Of course it is up to the user to try this and I can't guarantee anything!!!
Note that those cabs also change the phone so that wifi remains on while in standby. Handy if you use skype but a battery killer if you forget about it.
FWIW I got it working with my WPA2-PSK open-wrt based router without any hacks.
