Wireless issue - WM6 black edition

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....

you can
Start->Settings->Connections(Tab)->Wireless LAN ->Power Mode->Best Performance
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.

P3300 WM6 and wifi connection issue

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'm facing the same problem at work with a 3Com Wireless route. At home I use ZyXel and wifi is working OK. Did you manage to find a solution?

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.

Certain apps can't connect, strange...

Hi,
Data connection runs pretty well on my M3100 but not with two particular apps which are WLM and Resco FTP addin.
With WLAN, WLM works perfectly but not Resco FTP.
What should I do? hard reset?
Thanks for your answers.

I just went back from a hard reset and it has no effect...

im having the same concern actually. ive switched from 3g's latest rom to black satin from jasjamming and have the same concern with the Windows Live. the initial synch went fine and emails were deliverd. but, since then i get a synch failed message each time. if you figure it out, please let me know and i will do the same. thanks

Try messing arround with FTP parameters; try connect using passiv mode, ...

I've already tried this...as adviced on resco faq.
Nothing more...

Now Resco FTP works through WLAN, don't know really why but...it's ok
However that's still not working through Data.
Resco FTP and WLM do work with WLAN so this means that the real issue is the data connection.

how exactly would i go about changing the FTP parameters. i know it's the file transfer protocol but don't know where or how to mess with these parameters? thanks

I made it!!!
Everything works now.
Here is what I did :
First, remove the OrangeWorld connection w/proxy that Schap's tool auto generate and manualy create a new OrangeWorld connection w/o proxy.
Second, remove the specific connection for WLAN and AS that the wiki advices.
That's all !!!
ps: The first part is pretty specific to my carrier but maybe the second point will be enough to solve your problems.

ok, so excuse me guys. but, im still a little confused. i know where the WLAN connections are and the only one i see is the connection for media net. is there something im missing? could you give a more detailed description of what you did second? and sorry im not grasping what you are advising of : )

If you look in the wiki for schap's 3.54b rom :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs_QA_Schaps357b
It is said that to solve the connection issue with WLAN and AS you have to create another connection.
I did that and in fact this was the cause of my problems.
I removed this connection and now everything's fine. But if you did not create this connection then I believe your problem deals with something else, maybe your carrier settings.

ok,thanks much.

Which wireless N-router connects artemis? Belkin N1 doesnt !

@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.

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.

If you can't connect to your WiFi Access Point with WPA2 encryption read this!!

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.
