Bt Home Hub 2 Problems - HTC One X

Hey
I've got some severe wifi problems with the BT infinity Home Hub 2.0:
1. Sometimes I cannot connect to the hub and the phone cannot get passed "obtaining ip address"
2. On rare occasions I can connect to the hub but no data is transferred and to make matters worse it takes down the wifi network for others (Other devices remain connected but no data is transferred) To get things working again I have to reset the hub!
If I try connecting to BT Fon or BT Openzone on my network the same problems occur. (Other BT broadband users will understand what I'm talking about there)
What I've tried to fix the issues:
I've tried setting a manual ip address with no luck
I've tried a full reset of the hub
Changed the wifi channel of the hub
Turned on best performance in wifi settings on the One X
I've tried a variety of roms and am currently on Viper
I experience these issues when connecting to other BT Home Hubs and other random hotspots. But at the same time I have no issues issues connecting to other wifi hotspots such as hotel ones and public hotspots.
At the moment at home I've got an old voyager 2100 bridged to the hub and I can connect through that with no problems, but as you can understand I don't really want two routers running at the same time when it shouldn't be necessary.
If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :cyclops:

Working perfect on my HH2. I say perfect, but as well as the HH2 will work, you'll get what I mean.

Just noticed you have the infinity version, which I assume is totally different.
Sorry about that!
(however, I'm stuck on sub 8mb (2mb, ish) in the country, I'd put up with dodgy wifi for your connection )

It's pretty much identical but I've had the same issues on other normal home hub 2s

I had the same problem whereby every time my One X connected to my Home Hub, it would cause the network to become unresponsive for all connected devices! I eventually found that changing my hub settings from 802.11 b/g/n to just 802.11 b/g did the trick.
Go here: 192.168.1.254
then: Settings --> Advanced Settings --> Wireless --> Wireless interface type.

Thanks! I'll give this a go when I get home, I wonder what the underlining issue is here that's causing all of these problems

i don't think its the phone, id blame the router, mine does similar sometimes, works after a reboot of the router though

Hi,
I encountered this issue just recently. I have a Galaxy S3 and a HomeHub2 with Infinity. I tried setting a manual IP address, rebooting router and phone, changing wifi channel etc, but none of that worked. I later noticed that the dhcp table on the router was full of expired leases for the same device. I clicked the "refresh" button on the HH2's dhcp page and it refreshed showing a list of different mac address - weird - but this time showng them with an "andriod" prefix. I manually deleted a few of the expired entries - one at a time (pita) and that seemed to fix it, i.e. I was able to reconnect and get an IP address assigned on my S3 again. I've since selected the option to "always use this ip address" on the dhcp table entry details page (just click one of the items in the list to view). I guess there must be a bug/conflict/glitch between andriod and the hh2's dhcp service which perhaps prevents expired ip address assignments from being dropped and reused. I have a few other devices that are wireless and use dhcp (ps3, iphones, ipad, ipod touch, wii, samsung smart tv, wifi printer, microwave, fridge... ok i'm kidding about those last two , and none of those have multiple expired sessions.
Hope this helps someone get round the problem.

PS: Great noob vid.

Funny this is here. I had this exact issue its frikking irritating. I went through the hassle of unlocking the hub to work on talk talk...I had my nexus then and it flew..I know the nexus is like that though lol. So got the x was a nightmare on WiFi.coverage wise also in the kitchen..it went below a bar. So changed to b and g only. Works okay but still is slow ans doesn't do well. Annoying seeing the hub is capable of n

Turn off 802.11n - That is the problem with the Home Hub 2.0. It's buggy as f00k.

I'm having the exact same problem but with the homehub 3, I was convinced it was a faulty router and have been pestering bt for a new one. I realized it was the phone whenever the same problem happened at the father in laws house (he has a hh3 also). I have been using cyanogenmod for a a few months and this prob only occoured when I started using mike1986's Rom... Maybe someone should tell him

I'm having issues with my One X and my HH3 , it's only started since i went to jellybean. It was fine before now when my HOX is conneced to the router all wireless devices (Ipad and laptops-win7/ubuntu) will drop out and back in of connection. Sometimes the router will drop it's broadband connection then come straight back up.
It's driving me mad.

XDA IIs Wifi and lockups

Does anyone have a problem with their wifi locking up their xda iis? I have bought a linksys router and am getting frequent lockups when using wifi. I am using the shipped O2 rom, thanks
I have no problem at all with Netgear router. Try changing the connection speed setting in the router to the "b" mode only. Hopefully this can solve your problem.
No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.
Sorry! :-(
Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.
--Neil
I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)

I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!
I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.
I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!
I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.
Weird.....
Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.
The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.
It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.
If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.
Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.
I am going to do a hard reset and test to see if i still get any freezes. Anyone know of any software i can use to backup my text messages?

Hi guys,
Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).
I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.
The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.
Just me 2c!
Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.
I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.
Nigel
As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!
Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.
Nigel
Well i tried a hard reset and didnt install any apps and tried connecting to wifi again and still got a lockup and loss of connectivity. Im going to swap the router for another make and see what happens
Swapped my linksys router for a D-Link and so far no problems after 2 days. so looks like my problem was my router.

XDA IIi and wifi
I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help

Hi
For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's [email protected] and [email protected] along with GPRS and VPN.
To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.
Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.
I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.
Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).
I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.
Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me
Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..
i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..
btw I am new here.. finally able to register!
How's everybody doing?
Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x
Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???
I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!
The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'
Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link
Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??

Artemis WiFi and Belkin N1 Router

@ all,
it might sound a bit surprising, but I dont get my new artemis ( i now own one with wifi !, my hero didnt!),
working with the wireless of my belkin n1 router!
everytime i enter the mac adress into the router, wlan stops alltogether! ( do i need to enter the mac adress?)
entering the normal wpa-psk passwords into wm6.1 vanilla or b&b5, the connection constantly changes between available, but not connecting, and unavailable... even when sitting right next to the router!
any ideas?
help highly appreciated!
greetz
thormdac
news:
got it working for now-- changed wlan channel in rpouter to channel11, which is preset in wm6.1!
is that how its done?
Update:
most of the times the router just kills the wlan function all in all once i try to connect with the artemis!
Need to reboot router to get it running again!
Where am i going wrong?
p.s. no, i aint a novice
I've got the same roblem mate. Not got a clue what to do ?
Had the same issue with a Belkin N router yesterday. Solution I dumped it went down to Maplins and got a Netgear. Plugin and I was away.
Had flashed the rom serveral times (Win 5, 6, 6.1 some of the cooked roms) nothing worked was thinking it was a hardware failure.
Dont' appear to matter how you set the belkin nothing works.
Thou oddly my Exec connects with it just fine.

Gee, that would for sure make me one unhappy pal!
Anybody around here has another idea!
Possibly some tips on "Must does" ! for connecting via wifi with artemis! Whats with the mac address-thing?!!!
Greetz
To be honest, I've looked at dozens of sites searching for a solution to this issue. Everything from flashing the ROM (Device and router), enter MAC on the router, set a IP address, changing channels, security settings and nothing appear to work with the Belkin N family.
My experience with Belkin has not been good (Tech support has always been first class).
The first router (Cheap 54g) would run for 2 hours then lockup, requiring a reset of both the router and cable modem). Replaced by Belkin after several days talking to tech support.
The second router (Same 54g unit, different Version number) Ran fine until you moved data about, anything downloading above 150k locked the router. Wired connections could do 300k then lock up. Replaced by Belkin.
The third unit (Upgraded to a 2 stick version for free) DOA. Replaced by Belkin
The forth unit (Same 2 stick version) worked data transfers good but would not allow wifi connections other than WEP 64. Firmware update would then WEP 128. Replaced by Belkin.
The Fifth unit (Same 2 stick version, different version) Wifi worked with all settings. However with wifi on all wired connections ran like a 56k modem. Replaced by Belkin.
The sixth unit (Upgraded to the N) Worked fine. Wired connections fine, wifi was a bit hit or miss, two Toshiba laptops connected fine, the Dell laptop never connected. Belkins own N usb dongle also never connected.
My Orbit never connected to any of the Belkins, the Exec did with some and others not.
This issue is not limited to Belkin, if you look about, other makers routers also appear to have this issue.
The cheap Netgear (£35) works just fine for me. Took 5 minutes to setup. Everything in the house connects. I`m happy after 7 months of Belkin issues.
uiuiui,
what a story!
just so we dont get us wrong here: had my n1 now for about 6months, and its running just fine with all my notebooks! - just since trying to connect with my artemis i am running into probs!
A theory of this mornings trials:
any way of changing the preconfigured broadcast channel 11 within the artemis? --- seems to me the channelchanging is causing the hangups!
will try setting the router to channel 11 and see what happens!
greetz
Ive set channel to 6 in the N router, the Art/Orbit will find it and go though the motions of connecting and make it unavailable (our problem with N routers). The Network setting will show its on ch6 (if you can there before it becomes unavailable). Then goes to ch11.
I think the Art/Orbit just runs in sequence though the channels, if it gets a lock it uses that channel. If not it moves on, I think we just see ch11 because its the last ch available in the scan.
Have just played with the Netgear channels and the Art/Orbit connects with every channel, the Network setting page shows the correct channel that the routers broadcasting.
So it don't appear that the channel is hard coded to the Art/Orbit.
Ok stumbled across this thread a little too late. Our Linksys wrt54g was not able to handle the kind of data we were transferring and moved to a Belkin_N1 router, I have an HTC Wizard but same symptoms, if I try to connect to Belkin I can not connect to anything WIFI before a soft-reset, I get prompted for key fine once and during connection something messes up the wifi radio, I am not sure if its a software or hardware issue but got the same issue with an SMC router, while my D-Link at home is working fine. I wasted so much time flashing ROMs and what not. Thanks for everyone who has put info here, somebody can read here and save the pain of hitting the wall with frustration.

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.

[Q] WiFi problems after Froyo update

After installing the Froyo update yesterday I seem to be having troubles with my WiFi connection. The connection is being dropped after a half an hour or so and I'm unable to reconnect at that time. The Desire just keeps connecting and disconnecting to my network.
I need to reset my router in order to re-establish the connection but it gets dropped again after a half an hour.
I did not experience these problems on the previous version, I did however experience something like it when I connected my PS3 to the router via WiFi in the past. After I done that I wasn't able to connect on my laptop. But I switched to a cable for the PS3 after that anyway.
Is it possible that something on the Desire triggers an overload in the router that causes it to malfunction? I'm unable to connect with my laptop when the connection is dropped on the Desire as well.
It's a Belkin f5d7632-4, which is actually a modem-router, but after disabling the DHCP server it functions fine as a wireless router.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
If I can't find a solution I think I have to get a new wireless router, I can't go without WiFi on my Desire at home!
If that's the case, advice for a new wireless router is welcome as well. Please post the brand and type and if it's functioning fine with the new Froyo for you.
I have the same issue. I went from standard, unbranded 2.1 to OTA 2.2 like a good citizen, but now it won't connect to my belkin wirless N router, but it DOES connect to my SKY netgear router.
What's the deal?
Yes, I've spotted some more Belkin N1 users on (the dutch website) Tweakers.net with the same problem.
I retain a good connection for about half an hour. They seem to be having the same problem right from the start.
I have a similar problem with a BT HomHub 2.0 but it drops the WiFi randomly however I do not reset the router just turn the WiFi Off and On on the phone and the Desire reconnects. My Desire will also change which SSID its connected too, i.e. from my own SSID to BT Fon or BT Openzone (I have them both turned on in my Home Hub) again to get back to my own SSID I have to stop and restart the WiFi on the phone, simply asking it to move back to my own SSID doesnt work.
Just had a call with HTC Netherlands and they advised me to try it on a different network/router and/or do a factory reset to a clean 2.2.
Has anyone tried the factory reset? I doubt that will do any good. A different router would seem to work according to Jammy1 (and I didn't expect otherwise).
Apparently something killed the compatibility between Belkin routers and Android 2.2 ?!
do you guys have the Bluetooth turned on?I realised when both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on at the same time,the signals tend to clash thereby resulting to connection loss. Though,I experienced this on another android device (a tablet:Archos 5 AIT) especially when a major update occurs.Still waiting for my new Desire.
Random drops also on Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware...

No Bluetooth here. Never even used it.
Try turning off the bluetooth.
Bought myself a cheap Sitecom WiFi router and it works like a charm now. But I hope HTC wil fix this and other little bugs present in this version.
I had similar problems after upgrading to Froyo (custom rom) - the Wifi seemed to get connection then as soon as I tried to use it within the browser it dropped and tries to regain IP. After a bit of fiddling with settings I have found that
i) using channel 12 (12 and 13 are only available if router is set to America location) to avoid conflict with heavy wireless coverage in my area seems to help
ii) using WPA2 encryption seems to give a much stabler connection over WPA, although now and again it forgets the passkey data, even re-entering it fails, only solve was to turn wifi off then on for it to reconnect
still having this problem...
does anybody have some news on this ?
I can connect to my home router a linksys wrt600n with WPA2-PSK key but i cant connect to a belkin N1 with WPA2-PSK enabled.
I tried every setting on the belkin router, just cant get it to connet.
My device just keeps connecting and disconnecting, it gets an ip but cant connect...
What i haven't tried is setting a maual ip and see if it connects then.
If i set it to manual ip, it works.
Does anybody have some news on this ?
What channel is your router on? Read somewhere about it not liking anything over 11...
I've been having the same issue on my Desire and on HD2Android.
If a 2.1 ROM is loaded into either of my devices TKIP and AES work perfectly.
With 2.2 it only connects through my Marconi router and doesn't obtain an IP from my Belkin N1.
I don't think this is a device issue but rather a ROM/OS issue. After speaking with some Linux guys they seem to have the opinion that the driver on 2.2 doesn't resolve it's IP address with some routers. Especially higher end ones with added features like QoS ie Belkin/Linksys.

With 2.2 it only connects through my Marconi router and doesn't obtain an IP from my Belkin N1.
I don't think this is a device issue but rather a ROM/OS issue. After speaking with some Linux guys they seem to have the opinion that the driver on 2.2 doesn't resolve it's IP address with some routers. Especially higher end ones with added features like QoS ie Belkin/Linksys.

Yes that was my initial thought !
But my linksys is newer then my belkin and it has no problems connecting my phone.
The 2 wireless routers are configured the same.
On android 2.1 i had no problems.
is it possible to try and install the 2.1 wifi drivers on 2.2 ?
i had the same problem 2 months ago when i first got my Desire. worked at just about every damn wifi router but the one in my house.
did some reading, no one had an answer. just seemed that it worked on some and not on others. so, i went out to the store and i picked up a Linksys after testing the linksys at the shop. my phone connected and had internet no problem. i thought, perfect, i'll take it.
brought it home, same problem. wifi connects and no internet. no setting would fix it. i brought it back to the store. and sure enough, we plugged that very router into their connection and my phone connected and worked. they obviously would not return the router because it works (and i live in a 3rd world country, forget about it).
so, **** if i could figure it out. i wound up using an older adsl/wifi router i had and no problems. but, i have a new linksys that is just sitting in a box...
its not your router, but the phone.
you can always sell the router on internet or the phone

Just had a call with HTC Netherlands and they advised me to try it on a different network/router and/or do a factory reset to a clean 2.2.
Has anyone tried the factory reset? I doubt that will do any good. A different router would seem to work according to Jammy1 (and I didn't expect otherwise).
Apparently something killed the compatibility between Belkin routers and Android 2.2 ?!

I had contact with HTC Scandinavia and they also recommended a factory reset. But these guys haven't got a clue - they didn't even know this was a big problem after the froyo update. Weird when you think about it, I mean wifi is kind of a big thing for a smart phone.
But no, factory reset did NOT change a thing. And replying to other messages: this thing has nothing to do with what router you use. It seems totally random almost.

WIFI Data freezes and locks up my router

Hi All,
I have a D-Link DSL-2740BR N 300 modem router. When I connect my HOX to it's Wifi I get data for about 10 seconds and then it totally locks up. I still have a connection and good signal, but no data come up or down. If I now leave it connected after about 10 minutes all wifi data on my router stops working so no other devices can use it. As soon as I disconnect my HOX from the wifi data returns to all other devices!
I have set the channel so it's not on automatic selection and I have given my HOX a specific DHCP lease, other than that I can't seem to change any other settings on my router that I can see would influence this.
Does anyone have ANY hints coz I don't feel like forking out for a new router and this is just ridiculous!
Thanks in advance.
this happens at work, my hox connects to a linksys wag120n, which is acting as a wap, its connected to another netgear prosafe router.
sometimes, not always, when the hox disconnects, it stops the internet working for all connected devices, even if they aren't using the wireless router at all! then i have to reboot the wireless router, not the other one, to make everything work again.
it doesn't do this at home, it's weird, i've tried playing around with the router settings but no difference... really annoying problem
Did you try to chane WPA to WEP encryption method? It may help. I had the same kind of problem with my Zyxel router.

I haven't tried that. I have had issues with ROMs on my old phone (X10) that it couldn't connect to WPA, but I didn't even think that could be a problem as it does actually connect... It's worth a try I guess, but I think I'm gonna have to try buying a new router...
Cheers.

Yes it is a really annoying problem. I do know that it happened less often with the original ROM & Kernel, but who am I kidding? There's no way I'm going back from CM9!
ive tried a factory reset on the wireless router, will report back whether it helps or not.

Ahh! Thank you! That totally fixed it! I can't believe that could even be a problem... Do you think it's the phone side, or the router side that's having issues with WPA?
Thanks so much!
btw, a factory reset didn't help, however, i have changed my 'Network Mode' option to 'G-only' instead of 'Mixed'
so far, so good, it's been a day or two now, one x happily connecting and disconnecting as i go in and out of office, and the internet hasn't gone down yet!!
glad to hear you got yours working properly as well RaVe-N
