I heard that you can access you Linksys router using your phone as long as you are connected to you wireless network and have web access. I have been unable to get this to work... Any ideas anyone?
Same way you would for anything, has nothing to do with the Tilt... If you're doing it from the internet, you have to turn on something which is likely called "Remote Administration" or something similar and access your internet IP address in a browser.
From the wireless network itself, just go to the router's IP address in your browser.
if you are at home and connected to your router via wi-fi just open your browser and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (usually the default address for linksys router, otherwise look up correct address for your model). you will be prompted for user ID and password default admin:admin. this is the same way you access your router from your PC. it is also possible to access your wireless router at home when you are away by just using media net (or whoever your carrier is' data connection.) just like khaytsus says, you need to first turn on remote access while connected to your router from home.

That's why I've never had an Windows Mobile device before.
Symbian, iPhone, everthing works fine with my WLAN. WPA Key and go go go
My Kaiser has a WLAN connection but the IE wont' show any page. Why?
First thing is to isolate the problem. Are you able to access the internet via Actice Sync? When connected to the WLAN are you able to access any other services on the internet such as windows live to check your email or if you have HTC HOME the weather info?
Also check to make sure you are getting a proper IP address, Gateway, and DNS server from the router to your PPC. Task Manager is a good utility which lets you run the Ipconfig/all command. You can also use the PING command in Task Manager to see if you can ping anything on the internet.
If you are getting the proper TCP/IP settings trying accessing a site using its IP address instead of its Domain Name to islolate if the problem is with the DNS server settings in PPC.
If still no luck post the results from the above troubleshooting and we'll go from there.
Correct IP Address, check! I forgot to mention...
Thank's for your help, I'll check the steps in the evening at home.^^
I just can connect to my router's IP address and see the configuration page. My device has it's own static IP.
IE says "site cannot be displayed, because the connection has been interrupted".
Do I have to quit HSPDA and Bluetooth? I guess not.
Let me know if you can connect to this http://134.126.10.50/

No, same error.
Surfing via ActiveSync is no problem.
If you said that it's possible to connect to router but not outside of router, then do you use MAC Access Control and/or MAC Fillter Internet Firewall on your router?
Possibility MAC Filter Internet Firewall. Without MAC Access Control specified, it's not possible to connect to router.
Hopefully it helps.

I'm using a MAC Filter, but the MAC of my Kaiser has been written to the MAC list. I'm trying without the filter...
Previously I could connect to my home WLAN, but I could not perform any surfing until I came across a suggestion to goto Settings->Wireless LAN->Power Mode slide to Best Performance.. and viola.. I am good to go..
don't know if you have the same issue, but jus my 2 cents.. ohh n I was using Polaris aka Touch Cruise..
I have the same problem as [email protected] has - the root cause may or may not be the same however. Here is what I found in my case -
(i) Connecting to WLAN - no probems, works every time
(ii) While connected to WLAN, sending/receiving emails through my exchange server or browsing my company's intranet site - no problem
(iii) Surfing internet while connected through USB cable/active sync - no problem
(iv) Can't connect to any internet site while connected to WLAN
I found that when connected through USB Cable/active sync - the proxy server address seen when I go to Settings->Connections->Connections->Edit proxy server is the correct company proxy server address. The moment I connect to WLAN - this field becomes blank. Even if I edit and insert the correct address, it doesn't stick. The moment I disconnet from WLAN and go and check the proxy server address - again it shows the correct address. So the root cause of the problem seems to be that something is wiping out the correct proxy address while I am connected to the WLAN.
I remember seeing a thread somewhere discussing this vanishing proxy settings problem. I wasn't able to find it today but I intend looking again when I get an hour or so.
I agree with roomer11 about the power settings, i have two HTC tytn ii's and i had the same problem with both(one mine,one is my wife's)...i'm running wpa2-psk now but does it on wep too...
It work's.
I have deactivated the MAC filtering. I doesn't make any sense, because the MAC I've entered is the right one, but ok. Must be a Windows Mobile voodoo thing.
I have tried many times to connect to the internet through a WiFi connection. The phone finds WiFi connections OK but when I click on Internet Explorer, the phone tries to connect via GPRS.
I have tried reading the other threads and reading through 'how to connect' on the phone but have not found a solution.
I have had my XDA2i for many years and just changed the digitiser pad and LCD. I've never connected to a WiFi network, despite many tries.
Initial questions:
What IP address has it given you... is it 192.... or 169.... ?
And what is the IP address of your router?
When I select 'Wireless LAN Manager' it displays
Status: Connected to network
SSID: O2wireless**** Tx Rate:Auto
Mode: Infrastructure Channel: 1
BSSID: **-**-**-**-**-**
MAC: **-**-**-**-**-**
IP: 169.254.***.***. Renew IP
Signal quality = 80% Good
I don't know what any of these numbers mean. I have left out some info, as I don't know what is private. Is the IP address mine or the network I'm trying to connect to?
I don't have a wireless network. I just want to connect to hot spots when I'm out, like my friends do.

The IP address of 169.... means that the Router you are connected to isn't giving out dynamic addresses (DHCP)... Dynamic means that you are given your IP address by the router.
You couldd eclare a Static IP address, but for using hotspots you need to use Dynamic.
Where are you testing this?
If it's a friend's router, get them to check that DHCP is enabled and that its giving out addresses (could test with a wireless laptop).
The info I posted is a router I am picking up near my house.
When I'm out, we often go to a Hotel which has free wireless networking. My friend picks it up on her Blackberry with no problems. I can pick it up up but Internet Explorer always tries to connect using GPRS. I'm supposed to be the computer geek, so it's very embarrassing.
Well if you're only getting a 169... IP address then you're not going to get anywhere...
When you turn on wifi it should first of all start 'Scanning Network', then you get the SSID, etc and then get (say) a 192.... address. If you don;t get the 192 address then for some reason you're not picking up a dynamic ip address...
hi everyone,i bought HD7 last night and i have a problem with wifi.i want to connect my HD7 to my wireless routher. i must to set my HD7 IP.i can see HD7 IP but i cant change it.how can i do it? thanks
There is currently no way to set a Static IP address in Windows Phone 7, you'll have to wait for an update to come out that allows this.

You shouldn't need to manually configure your IP for the phone, the router will most likely assign your phone one if your DHCP is enabled (default on most routers). If you are wanting to connect it to your current home network and you have a wireless router, first you will need to go into the router configuration and set it to broadcast your SSID (if not already enabled). At this time the HD7 cannot connect to hidden networks (I don't see a point in hiding your SSID anyway, use better encryption, and a strong password with numbers, letters[upper and lower case], and symbols[if supported]). You can then use you HD7 to connect to your home network, once connected to your network go back into the router and look at your network. It should list all the devices currently connected to the network along with their currently assigned IP addresses. If you really need to, now that you know what IP address your router has assigned to your phone you can set your router to give your phone a static IP but really as long as you leave the router broadcasting the SSID your phone should have no problem connecting to the WiFi it should save the key and SSID, and it will get a new IP at regular intervals.

i have an adsl modem that connect to pc through the router,my modem has an IP and my router has another one,my phone get the router IP for Gateway,so i cant reach Internet in my phone,i need to change gateway of my phone to reach to internet and i dont know how to do that
My desktop LAN and wifi are different network. My office network is 192.168.1.x and wifi router WAN IP is 192.168.1.254 and wifi router LAN network is 192.168.15.x
My Note connects to wifi router and gets 192.168.15.2. I got wifi router configured to give static DHCP IP to my phone and it always gets 192.168.15.2. I then added port mapping to forward TCP port 8080 to this IP.
So when I run Kies Air, it displays URL http://192.168.15.2:8080
and from my desktop I type http://192.168.1.254:8080 and IT DOES NOT WORK. As soon as I hit go, URL gets forwarded to http://192.168.1.254:8080/www/index.html (blank screen) which means browser did reach Kies Air service but then nothing goes further.
I had done similar port mapping with other similar kind of apps (AirDroid, LazyDroid App Desktop, Motorola's similar app) and it always used to work.
Laptops in the same n/w (i.e., 15.x) are able to connect to Kies Air without any issue. My wifi router is DLink DIR 655. Any clues?
disable DHCP from your wifi router and let all devices get their IP from your original router. that way, you will be in the same IP range.
Thanks for the reply. Yes that is one solution to set wifi router in AP mode. But problem is we don't have master dhcp server leasing out 198.168.1.x IPs. All desktop are given static IP and there is firewall deciding who is given access to where and to do what.

Work WiFi... Our company uses a static IP. Well I can not get my phone to connect to the internet. The phone will connect to the router. It will obtain an IP but it will not connect to the internet. I've gone in changed settings in the phone to static IP.. used the DNS in the router as well as Google DNS and still no luck.. ios devices hook up to this router just fine after changing their static IP settings.. Any thoughts??
Whether you get an internet connection or not - assuming you're using the right password, encryption, mask, etc., is up to the settings in he router. Ask the network admin to set your phone's IP address and MAC address to get a full connection.
