Well.. there have been a few (although not extortionate amount) of complaints that users using X50v's have problems with wifi (similar to that of the ones experienced with WM6A01).
Here's a list of things that seem to be going wrong:
Only on WPA-PSK networks.
Resetting doesn't work
(on WM6A01 Odyssey didn't seem to solve the issue with me)
Seems to continually connect or connect for a second then disconnect. sometimes will stop after a while,sometimes will carry on (presumably forever)
Possible things causing it
Small HW problem with a particular batch of X50v's
Driver issues (doubtfull)
Incorrect registery settings
Router problems [Omitted]
Application problems
Things You should post:
What version of WM you're using
What Hardware revision you are on (found under the battery cover, next to the service code)
What brand your router is
What make your router is (yes, these can differ)
What Wifi security your on
Whether you're broadcasting your SSID
Whether you're using a static or dynamic/server assigned IP
Here are mine:
Currently WM6A02 HWA01
Sky brand router
Netgear make
WPA-PSK Security
Yes broadcasting SSID
Server assigned IP
well, for me everything wireless works. (the only problem, i have, is that my pda keeps hanging, when syncing in cradle using wmdc 6.1 at vista x64) i can connect to any unsecured/open network in my town, as well to my private (wpa-secured) home-wlan. (B/G-mix), i set my pda to 'receive ip' (except for VPN), i' using a fritzbox wlan (AVM). so far i have no problems with wireless, and it seems even faster, as with wm5!)
Okay..
I'm having exactly the same issues as Obsidiandesire...
WIFI keeps connecting and disconnecting every second in an infinite loop... This only happens if I use WPA encryption. Else everything works fine (WEP or no encryption at all). With WM2003SE all was perfect.

So we know this is probably not limited to UK users
I'm using a Netgear router so it's not that.
and 0PP doesn't solve it so that's another idea scrapped
and it's not to do with the password as Mine is 8 char
EDIT: Random question that's too specific to search for, how do you find out your HW revision?
Open the back plate and remove the battery... I found it on the sticker where is the service number..
Thanks, updated post with that information. Mine must have been on the first batch as it had WM2003A01 installed when I got it!!!
Forgot to mention that I already tried the x51v WM6 A03 "vagus" fix for WI-FI, but no luck
I didn't even bother and now i think there is no point trying.

Oh Yes...
...During a nuclear beta decay....
I try to connect with my router, AZtech, using this setting:
WEP enc.128 but, open,
but the network name not shown in list unless I use dell wifi utility
and I can't connect use these setting:
non secure, wpa, wep
update,
I don't see any list of network available on network list, unless I use dell wifi utility. and I can't connect to my router use these settings: none, wpa, wep. I setting open for authentificaton
oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I use WM06 a02, issued by Maglite.
same here
same here I am experiencing the exact same probs, vagus's fix didnt help me
so, I like to use wm 2006, it faster than before.but I dont like what the problem come, like wifi bug
my works ok, have the same problem that when i turn on wifi it will turn on but no access points or it does not connect if its there.
my fix is just to turn on wifi and turn off device and then turn it back again. its been working on different routers but thats not the cause of the problem.
Thanks to Vagus we pointed out the problem...
It seems that the missing Odyssey drivers in the MagLite Rom for x50v could be the key to solve it... He told that we are missing a file called OdysseyIMCE.dll that is the driver of the Odyssey client...
I Tryed re-adding it dumped from WM2003SE together with a lot of registry keys present in the x51v WM6 ROM... But no luck ! I messed up the whole thing... Anyway I'm quite sure that this is the right way so I'll continue to experiment
Cheers
I'm NOT convinced that it's Maglite's WM6 A02 ROM, I have had this problem with my X50v using WM2003SE, WM5 & Now WM6. My router is a Netgear DG834GT, other routers seem to work all ok, I suspect it might be a WPA-PSK / Router Firmware / Auto switching b,g Issue?

I have a D-Link G624T and with WM2003SE all was perfect with WPA...
Now, after WM6 upgrade, infinite loop connecting and disconnecting
I figured it out
X50V WM6 A02 RTM 0-PP
x50v hardwre A08
Linksys WRT54G-v4 (home network w/ 2 PCs & x50v)
WEP-64bit security
Broadcasting SSID
Auto DHCP
I had easily connected wi-fi on WM2003SE, WM5 A02, & WM5 A03 without configuring my router. Yesterday I flashed to WM6 and could not connect. Finally I reset the router, and started from scratch.
After much nashing of teeth, connecting was easy.
It all came down to terminology! First I set up the router with no security - and the x50v connected easily (albeit PIE takes awhile to find the home page). Then I set up security. I tried many, many configs to connect, but I kept entering the "pass phrase" to no avail. Then it dawned on me, the x50v was asking for a "key" not a pass phrase. So I entered the "default transmit," 10-digit, hexidecimal key that my router had generated from the pass phrase I had entered -- lo and behold, I was connected.
So easy!! (many hours later)
Hope this info helps someone.
Chas
ps: I did remove the x50v's battery between each connection attempt. Router instructions said to restart the desktop PC after configuration changes, so I figured that instruction applied to the PDA as well.

That was really funny!! And a bit silly (sorry). Took you so many hours to see the diference between key and passphrase!!
I would have been embarrased to put it here.... Anyway maybe others are making the same silly mistake..You never know!!
Please sorry again. But I couldn't stop laughing.
Even funnier is when you mention you took the battery out!! when all you have to do is a reset...if required!!

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.

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!

Hi all, I've just installed upgrade my Jasjam to WM6 ( Black 1.2) - very nice and fast. However, after upgraded I'm unable to connect to my NetGear Router via Wifi (WEP enabled) any longer.
The WEP Key and MAC address are correct - sometimes the software SOCKET WIFI can identify the SSID but unable to connect still. I've tried to connect without WEP key but no success. The only success I have with the Jasjam to use the Internet is via MS activesync thru notebooks ( via WEP wireless ) to the router. Can anyone help ????....
Is there some setting in WM6 that I'm not awared off.
Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem with my netgear router on WM6 until I realised I had to check/enable "This is a Hidden Network" in the network card settings.
should work

Thank you very much. That tiny check has saved me hours of frustration. It worked perfectly.
Looks like there's some wireless issues here -
I have a Dlink DI-524 b/g router, set to WEP with a small key.
Running WM5 - wireless fine.
Running WM6 Black edition 1.2 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 Black edition 2.0 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 XDA live... .20 - fine
Pretty sure XDA live .10 was fine as well, but that was a few weeks back now .
Tried all the settings available, WEP,WPA,WPA2,Hex keys, Ascii keys, no encryption at all..... no go. Can see the AP fine..... takes about 30 seconds before coming back with an incorrect key error.
Anyone else see this?
Sorry dude, Im using WEP 64bit key and works a treat (reception sucks in the loft though)
hmmmmm.
I've tried 64/128 bit keys and everything... perhaps its an issue with wm6/router software. What model AP are you using?
Just tried mine and it works flawlessly...
Maybe try and reset the router/wap?
Been there, done that as well
It's a bit of a puzzle.
It's strange that one flavour of WM6 works and not another. I might have to do a bit of scratching about in the registries/dll's of both and see if there's anything different.
But it's not too critical, as long as one version of WM6 works for me
WPA PSK TKIP running fine here......
No problems with WPA-PSK using TKIP on D-Link DSL-G604T.
Also fine here...
I am using the back 2.0 right now and I have no issue at all.
My settings are:
WPA2 AES RADIUS on a Dlink 2100 AP
from now on... can you please post all issues with Black 2.0 here
Wellll.... I was going to post there, but I was unsure if it was just a WM black issue or a larger one involving other flavours. I did a search before posting and there were hints of similar wireless issues with other roms and other people.
And I've found some sort of solution -
Flashed it back to WM black, finally managed to get it to connect with wpa-2 with an pre-shared AES key. After that, all connection modes work - open/wep/wps.
Will check the registry settings and see if there's anything obviously different now than from the default install.
Funny I was having a similar problem, but it was with WM 6 Black Edition V1.2.
My phone was not finding one of my wireless routers, even when I was standing right beside it, but it would connect to my other one fine. They are both identical and are setup identically, so I dont know why this was happening. It only happened with Black 1.2, XML, and LVSW were fine.
I just now flashed Black V.2 and everything is running fine again.
Very strange... it seems to be the opposite of what happened to you.
What type of router?
I have a router at my office - MN-700 by Microsoft - that causes this problem with all versions of WM6. You will have to reboot both your cable/dsl modem and router and all will be fine. All will be fine until you re-connect your phone via your USB cable and re-sync. After that, you'll be back in the same boat and have to reboot the modem and router.
I have two routers at home - one by dlink and one by linksys - and neither have ever exhibited similar behavior. Therefore, I think it more a router (perhaps firewall?) problem, than a problem with WM6.
I'm now $.02 in the hole....

The Setting is Maybe fine.
There's loads of us happily wifi-ing with Black V2.
I look after hundreds of clients wireless networks... and you may not be surprised to learn that 99.9% of wep problems where it says "incorrect key" are caused by...wait for it... an incorrect key!
Don't cut and paste the key. TYpe it in manually.
However - other options:
Do you have mac filtering enabled on router?
Have you set your device to ask for a specific IP address?
Have you set the device to max performance?
Finally... change the SSID of your home network. All the mucking about you have done may have left some residual mess in the device registry and it is getting confused.
also before typing just check in a word if you are typing the key correct... maybe theres a problem with your hw keyboard... and you don't know it...

hmm...i recently upgraded from WM5 to WM6 LVSW0326 ROM and faced this same problem...same setup, same router, same WEP and it worked for a while ...then it died. Refused to connect.
i am sure the WEP is correct as i have the same key on my other wireless devices... and know what is even more interesting? i disable WEP and my device connects ok!
so i know it is not the router or the wifi protion of my hermes, more like the ROM is not sending the network key properly...even after asking for it several times!
anyone has a cab for just the wifi portion?
edit: never had this issue with WM5 even with WEP enabled!
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...
i tried to post my problem in the 1.2 and 2.0 forums, but no one could help ....
i found a weird round about way to make this work every once in a while...
i would go to my network adapters > IEEE wifi adapter > change the specific ip to one that i knew it would work from my router...
this would make it connect, but woudln't work right....
so then when i change it back to "use server-assigned IP"... it would pick up the right address from my router and work .... and all would be fine.... but then when i turned off wifi and tried again, it would fail again.
a problem i see is when it's trying to detect my network, the IP address in the grayed-out box reads (fe80::209:2dff:feef) but when it would work correctly, it would have a normal IP address....
maybe there's something in the writing to the wifi that's different in america???

It's work! Thanks!
I did try "This is hidden network" and all the others' suggestions! This is the simpliest and workable method!
Thx again! I can surf by wireless Lan again!
I wonder if MS have seriously reduced the power output on the wireless when its set to BEST BATTERY. It seems a) its set to that by default rather than in the middle and b) quite a few people are having problems with their wifi.
I have Belkin N1 router and it connected fine first time even on low power - and on BEST PERFORMANCE I pick up more of my neighbours SSID's than I used to with WM5
I've had most of the problems listed here.
The new LVSW now has this problem also but Vanilla works fine for me, old LVSW's, XDA Live. Upon changing the protocol the router uses I could connect on the first attempt, subsequent attempts would not work.
I have no trouble with the works router.
This seems to be something other than Microsoft, maybe worth asking LVSW what he did differently on his latest.
X50V, after updated to WM6, I cannot connect internet with wireless. Can you help me Thank you !!! I cannot search in post....
and which version of WM6 would this be?
Neither do I...
Using WEP or no encryption works good. ... But using WPA PSK no way...
when you turn on wifi and it does not work try this. while wifi on turn off device and turn it back on and see what happens
I can say from past experience this won't work (at least for me) and yes I'm on Wm6A02. Was also wondering what could be affecting it.

same with me
i am having same problem, i have an axim x50v with maglites wm6 a02 and it doesnt work with WPA-PSK.
LEAP Client
Does anyone know of a LEAP client for WM6? Preferrably FREE !!!!!
Our work network only uses LEAP, and it would be great if I could get that working again.
Dell Axim X50V - WM6 A02 rom (maglight version)
How about a WPA_Enterprise client? (not WPA or WPA-PSK).
WPA-TKIP
I flushed 4 time this week my x50v with different rom version. No once work. At the end, because I've friend that work in IT shop, I toke the desicion to test different routers.
Linksys wrt54g WORK all encryptation ( WPA-TKIP Also)
Sonicwall don't work
Dlink wok only wep
Berklin don't work
Cisco I cannot see the SSID
i recently picked up an axim x51v ater owning a series of axim x50v devices with various custom roms from this site.
I never, ever ever had a problem getting hooked up to my wifi with winmo2003, but as soon as i put a winmo5 rom on it, i could never ever get it to work. i think in all of the hours ive spent trying to make this work, i recall a single time where it worked for a session and then stopped.
anyway, nothing too high tech about my setup - wireless g router with static ip range, no security. have had zero issues getting many different computers and phones connected to it even with the static ip addys.
so i have an axim with makuu's WM6.1 rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439586).
been thru just about every setting in here
settings>connection>wifi
it sees my home network. single strength is good. it says 'available' but when i select 'connect' it tries, it says 'connecting', but flips back to 'available' afterwards. under 'network adapter' i try to adjust the settings for 'dell axim x52 WLAN wireless adapter to the correct manual address to no avail. i have tried toggling 'internet' and 'work' on every option i can find.
when i try to connect on IE I get the 'cannot cannect' notigfication which wants me to go to 'connections' where i can setup vpns, modems, and proxies, none of which i need. no wifi options here.
what to do?
i was hoping WM6 on an x51V would solve the wireless connectivity issues i was having with the maglite roms on the x50v, but its the same old story.
now after trying various settings back and forth, it sees the wireless network, but displays' unavailable' I tried soft and hard resets.
GRRR!!!
