its just going on and off.
No problem with the routersignal all wireless computers work fine.

Have you put the slider to best performance rather than best battery?
Yes i did
never had the problem with the tytn and wizard.
I only get that on my TyTN II when I'm far away from the router and the signal strength is low. If you've already set the performance vs battery life slider to give maximum performance as suggested by kareem9nba and it's still behaving as reported, what happens when you're near to the router?
If it's just that your saying the range isn't as good as youve been used to with other devices, I have nothing to compare my TyTN II with as this is my first WiFi capable ppc - but I'm sure other more experienced members here will be able to comment. If you're near to the router where there's no doubt it should be working fine and still getting problems then thats a different matter.
maybe your router needs a restart or maybe its just faulty.
have you tried other devices with same router?
try a wifi sniffer/scanner see what happens (a good example would be PeekPocket)

I do! My Kaiser's performance is on a par with my old HTC Universal, which is to say, they are both terrible at getting a signal. I don't think my Kaiser is faulty as back in the Universal forums, it was often commented how useless the WiFi was in comparison to other machines. I used to have a HP Ipaq 5450 which could get a signal upto approx 20m from my router, my laptop starts struggling at around 50m. The Universal could just about get a signal upto 4m away, the Kaiser is no better.
I realise much of this is due router location and the fact that I was trying to get WiFi in my garage, but in my bedroom with a full signal on the laptop, the HTC devices struggle to get more than 1 bar and if I move 10cm further away from the router the signal goes completely.
I think the WiFi on the Universal and the Kaiser just isn't that powerful. I guess it's Maximum Performance setting is still quite low power in order to save battery life. Wonder if there is a registry tweek to increase the power to the WiFi card, and if doing that would blow the card?!

I'm using an 11 Mbps Wifi capable router (about 2003 vintage) and even with a wall and a floor between my TyTN II and the router it still works about 15 m away, I've yet to try any further as that'd be outside the house. I was impressed to see it even detected other WiFi sources in the area though. I found that even though the signal quality bar was fluctuating, my web browsing still worked OK. Bumping the slider towards the performance end did make a difference to the signal quality indicator (although it still fluctuated). If your TyTN II is only working up to 4 m from your router then I think there's a fault with either device, you should be getting better than that.
I can connect to my linksys WRT54G when beside the it and 20mt away. Even when beside it the TynII will cycle off (disconnect) and then reconnect again. I thought it was signal strength but I am beginning to think its just a crappy wifi setup on the tyn. I also have my slider on best performance.

Funny that, so am I! However I bought it because it was cheap and I really didn't know much about WiFi etc several years ago when I bought it. I notice many routers come with external antenna's, mine is all internal so I would think that it's more my router isn't that powerful, combined with the Kaiser having a less powerful WiFi set-up that older models. To be fair, the Ipaq had an external antenna (of sorts, a little lump on top) and my previous laptops didn't have built in WiFi, their external WiFi adaptors also had external antenna's.
Frankly I think that all this internalisation of components is having a negative impact on signal strength and range. To compare I have a GSM car kit with an external antenna that picks up a much better signal than a phone on it's own. Likewise my GPS can be connected to an external antenna and I've noticed when connected it will pick up more satalites, with a stronger lock, than when on it's built in antenna. It also picks up more than the Kaiser (internal antenna) or Universal (external bluetooth GPS with internal antenna) ever do.
Still, it all just about works for my needs, so I'm going to leave well alone!

no clue here

But does this actually affect your browsing? In the end the signal quality bar can do whatever it wants as long as the data still gets through as far as I'm concerned and for me that’s happening. My hunch is that the reason why the signal quality bar intermittently dips down (even when nearby a router) is associated with power management on the TyTN II (which will still be in place to a certain degree even when the performance vs. battery life slider is fully at the performance end).

really i can't connect to my wifi router, while other hardware can (a laptop for example). it loops from "connecting" to "available" with 5 bars. but nevers connect or never shows an error. i tried open, WEP, WPA, WPA2 with no results... its a compatibility problem of TYTN II with some routers....
i hope that upgrading firmware, this problem dissapear....
Hi
My experience isn't that the signal itself is particlarly poor, but that it can be prone to loose connection regularly if its very weak. Atm I'm sitting some 150m from the accesspoint (quite powerfull transmitter), through a couple of concrete walls and its fast, as in almost so fast as the Kaiser can chew. Livestreaming from Youtube is np etc. The signal is no doubt very poor tho, and I have to use max signal/minimum battery on that bar you can adjust.
What drives me nuts is that it DCs me and often force me to key in the network key randomly every 1 to 20mins or so. I don't know if this is due to weak signal (both my laptop and the kaiser have 1 bar) or config of the wlan/kaiser. The PC dont DC, but its deffo a cranky connection. It almost seems like theres some auto-DC feature somewhere.
On other networks I haven't seen this. Generally I find the Kaiser wlan surprisingly powerfull, albeit it often shows a weak signal I've found this to be very relative and far from always descriptive of real life performance.

kaiser wifi low signal - wi fi poor reception - wifi disconnecting and reconnecting:
Suffered a lot with my kaiser wifi poor reception. Tested several radio versions and could solve the problem.
Radio version:
1 71 09 01 - too low WIFI reception
1.27.12.11 - disconnecting and turning OFF the WIFI with no automatic reengage of the access point or turning ON the WIFI if coverage is good.
1.65.17.56 is the versione that SOLVED my problem.
This radio was collected from the original HTC shipped rom:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe
In this moment I am running Radio 1.65.17.56 with
ROM jjblaster3 - updated 28014 with good WIFI behaviour.
I need to underline that the reception I have now with the Kaiser, can never reach the sensibility of my Nokia 5530 WIFI or the one I have on my laptop with good antenna embeded in my LCD framem but I am happy now because the WIFI is making sense now.
Best Regards

I'm facing the same problem. WiFi worked fine and one day it was suddenly gone. Tried quite a few radios, including 1.65.17.56 and still no deal.
To elaborate, when WiFi is turned on, the icon never even comes up in the taskbar, and it continues to remain in an off state (when checked in wifi settings) even when it's turned on (in the comm manager).
I'm guessing this could be a hardware problem like a loose contact to the antenna? Anyone heard of such issues?
(On a side note, the phone function never worked either, I always got a "No Service")
I've fixed it! I believe the problem was indeed a loose antenna. I opened up my phone and removed the antenna peice (the plastic plate that also houses the speaker) and pushed up the two pins left of the camera (so that they'll have better contact with the antenna piece. Put everything back and now the WiFi works!
Now if only I can figure out why the cellular doesn't work..
Hi guys.this is the original kjam radio in south Africa.
radio 2.37.11 was my original radio when i bought my kjam.after a lot of flashing i lost my original radio.but i found it again and i would like to share with you..
Radio 2.37.11 is just radio so no ipl/spl So g4 safe...Good reception and no missed call or no miss sms issue received in windows mobile 6.1 pro OS 5.2.19521..but you welcome to report your comments and feedback here.thanks for all xda developers chefs and members..Enjoy

What are the benefits of this radio version? I mean what is different? When was it released? It is deffinately newer than the version I have. I just can't afford to miss calls while connected to GPRS. have you tried if that works?
Nevermind. I'll try it. Will report back after I tested it.
No missed calls so far txt goes through while connected to gprs seems to work better.
haven't tested battery drain yet
in htc wizard unfortunately there is no solution for when u connect gprs.you will miss all you calls toward to you when you connect gprs(my gsm company send me a sms when i got miss call)3G phones or pdas is one of the solution of course...anyway in this radio your advantages good reception,right battery percentage reading on windows mobile 6.1,no miss calls,no miss sms,pick up the signal quickly when you get low signal area etc....more people should test and they must relase their experience of course...cheers
odd. I got my calls through when I installed this radio. didnt loose any battery untill I did some heavy using of internet. ( I was downloading things) I was also at a bar all evening without reception and I see what you mean about picking up signal again quicker. right on!
Everything is f9 on this Radio, but i culdnt check GPRS problem becoz y use GPRS when u have a 768KBps Broadband Cable Internet Connection at your home? and which i can use using a Wireless router on my PPC.
lol. I don't have hi speed internet at home so I'm always on gprs. and this is the best signal I have. I haven't used my phone as a wireless router yet though. that's something to look into.
and I dont get missed calls or missed sms while connected to gprs.

Very rightly said,everyone doesn't have a high speed internet at home,secondly you don't carry around the Broadband Cable Internet Connection where ever you go,what wud you do if you have to immediately check your mails or need to work on the net,perhaps rush back to your home,leaving the job at hand to get access to the internet
The very basic feature of the 'GPRS' is to have the internet in your pocket and at hand,whenever required.
Besides,if you have a high speed Broadband cable connection at hand,then why access internet via PPC through wireless router,why not with pc ?

I didnt write tht i have A Broadband Cable Internet connection so that you can pass on your silly comments, i dont wont to hear anymore. Jealousy is not Good my frnd. I just wrote a reson why i couldnt test GPRS issue and for God sake if u need a connection in pocket pick EDGE its faster.

Hey,hey,! be careful there,mind your words,you might get banned if reported or noted by the moderator,don't prove to be over smart,don't kid me ok,I'm right here in Lahore,with an Edge connection and broadband cable 512 kpbs and 'DSL' running at 1mb right now at my home,Why shud I be jealous!!! if you had not tested the gprs issue,then you don't have to post an answer.
i dont know exactly what wifi should be like on a Tilt, because to me, the signal has always sucked big time. From stock, to shipped rom, to plenty of cooked roms, and lots of radios.
Example: I have a wrt54gl. very good router. i go out on my balcony to smoke, and its approx 20 feet away from my router. Nokia N95 in left hand says 95% signal strength. Tilt in right hand says, nothing. my router is not found.
Is there maybe something wrong with the wifi on mine? or is it just a joke on the tilt?
Works fine here, where my laptop has a very weak signal the Kaiser won't see it, but not worse than that.
yeah kaisers seem to be hit and miss on the wifi, some of us have very poor signal's and perfomance.
I've tried multiple roms, hard spl's, radio's, loads of wifi settings, routers, wep or wpa security, unlcoked networks, nothings works.
Some people have no problems and great signals.
My htc hermes had a brilliant signal could be on wifi in the garden or any room in the house, now in the room next to the router the kasier gets a 1 bar signal, and will drop the connection sometimes.
I believe some of them are just faulty, i've heard of a few people retuning them and the replacement being perfect, so sounds like a bad batch but it seems to effect t-mobile mda's and at&t tilts at least, not sure anbout htc's, oranges, xda's etc.
Yes, The Kaiser has an under powered WiFi chip and a weak internal antenna.
To top it off almost all ROMs have the setting to "Best Battery." There is a WiFi setting of "Best Performance" that helps the strengths but sucks up battery like a Dyson Vaccum.
Go to your Comm Manager -> Settings -> Wireless LAN. Power Mode (tab). There you can play with the Slider. See if that helps.
For an unknown reason my diamond performs really poorly with wifi ?
My iphone and ps3 always have a 100% signal but on my diamond im lucky to get 2 bars. Even when I have 4 its still very very slow.
Any ideas ? Dodgy wifi in the phone ?
My Diamond is set to best performance therefore that cant be the issue

What ROM do u Have?? Radio???
Latest radio ROMS are pretty good. For example, the .07 and .08 are good Radio Roms with great reception. I like .05 which save a little more battery and still i have 5 bars no matter were i am

Hi, the radio .18 are good? improve wifi?
I have the same problem...thanks
Have you tried to set the power setting of your Wifi to "best performance" (away from "battery saving mode")? that should help, i guess.
Hi
I have the ROM that comes with the Orange Uk fones.
I believe its the 1.137.405.1 WWE ROM
and
1.00.25.03 Radio version
I have no trouble with signal strength with my diamond, but when I go into the properties for wireless while I am connected to my Linksys 54g Access Point, the Diamond shows me as having a 54mbps transmit rate and only a 1mbps receive rate.
This happens even if I am standing beside the access point. I could careless about how fast I send data, I want to be able to play movies via the wireless from my mediacenter box. But obviously with 1mbps it stops and starts all the time while it buffers the data.
Should I have 54 on both send and receive assuming signal is good. Is there anything in the Router that could cause this, I haven't noticed any issues with my 2 laptops.
Is there any software that can show me what the send receive rates individually are in Vista, so I can compare ?
*BUMP*
Does anyone have an answer/tweak to this? I'm also suffering from this issue.
TIA
Angus
Hi, I have a kaiser that has been dropped and there is really weak to no signal reception whatsoever and also the wifi reception is weak as well. What do you think is wrong with it? Is it the internal antenna?? Also I have the service manual, but I was wondering what the reciever was? Was it for the gps or wifi or phone reception? Please help and thank you.

If you know anything about electronics, there are some disassmbly pictures here and here. You might be able to see something loose of disconnected.
