At work we have a Netgear WLAN router, without WEP/WPA (for testing) und without DHCP. Some iPhones of my colleagues have connections without problems und full strength (the router is around 5 meters away).
On my Diamond I have set a static IP (because of no DHCP is running), gateway und DNS. If I switch on WLAN I can select the Netgear but no connection will be established (I see the WLAN "tower" and to swinging arrows at all time). WLAN strength has a range from nothing to (very) low. And IP is shown as 0.0.0.0.
At home I have a WLAN router too but with DHCP. There I can connect to WLAN without any problems.
I need your help!

Purzel

Try turning the power setting of WLAN to Highest Performance (or something like that, have the Dutch version) instead of Best Battery. Only a small suggestion as this will only increase your Wifi range, but if you're 5 meters away from the router you should already have a sufficient signal
Or you can enable DHCP on wlan router
Thx for your help but doesn't work.
@Colinvanlier: I have set it but with no effect on singal strength.
@chryss2k: Would be lucky If I could do that... but this poor WLAN router has no DHCP server.

Purzel
Same here...Anyway,my Diamond has detected the IP,but still cannot connect to the Internet ,the signal strenght is the highest though
Same here... I'm connected to the WLan-Router, but no connection to the Internet... Notebook etc. works fine, only Diamond doesn't
Have tried it at home at this moment - works like a charm. Well, where is the fault on WLAN at work?

I have a problem, my Kaiser connects to my WiFi Router which is a Linksys WRT54GR. And then after 10 seconds or (sometimes 30 seconds) I have no datacom. I am still connected though but no data is being sent or received. If I turn the WiFi off and then on again on my kaiser then I am again able to communicate for about 30 seconds and then it stops again. Does anyone recognise the symptoms ?

I have tested the WiFi Kaiser connection with my LinkSys WAG54GS and gives me no problem, works fine...
Tested with DLink Access Point without problem.
LinkSys with WPA and DLink with WPE...
No problema at all, Kaiser makes better like my last PDA, an Hermes one.
Regards.
Try a different channel on the router.
Wifi is pretty weak compared to my other PDAs, iPaq 6915, Q9000, T830, make sure you put the slider on maxium performance and even then the range is not very good.
That's not the experience I have.
I use a Linksys WRT54GL router with Hyper-WRT firmware.
I've no problems at all.
The connection is stable and fast even with the slider totally to the right (max. battery save).
Well...
I have tryed different channel.
My probblem is still in place when I stand right next to the router and have a full reception
I do not loose the connection it just does not send & receive any data, but the connection is there all right...
Hyper WRT firmware... I once flashed my old (very old) linksys router with one of those things and the router died on me, how safe is it now and do you have any recomendations?
I use max battery as well and the Kaiser performs on my home net (4 Linksys Wireless G APs) just like my 8525 good performance even with fairly low signal. I've streamed Slingbox for several hours straight with no disconnects.
I saw this problem described on another forum and unfortunately, the guy had to return his Kaiser. New one worked flawlessly.
I have had mine connected to a USR & Sweex wifi router and it is perfectly fine for prolonged periods of time, It might be worth hard reseting it and trying the wifi first before doing anything else, if its still doing it then send the handset back.

Do you have the DHCP server enabled on your router ?
When disabled you have to enter manually an ip address on your TytnII within the same ip range.
Otherwise you can't send and receive data.
Furthermore this looks like a DNS problem.
Vanstra,
I know now that it is a DNS problem... My DHCP is on and now I also set the WiFi on the Kaiser to best performance... I have proper connection now. I did have to reboot my Server as it is the primary DNS in my network. Well so far so good. Strange only that I have 2 laptops one desktop and an XBOX and they all functioned perfectly all the time...
Hi,
all of a sudden I have this problem with my Kaiser that I can't access the internet using WLAN any more:
-turn on Kaiser Wifi in Comm Manager: ok
-connect to my WLAN: ok
-optain IP: ok (I see IP address in phone and on clients list on my WLAN router)
-Internet Explorer on Phone: no joy, always "Page not found"
-Network Test Utility on Phone: no joy, ping always times out
-also other applications (e.g. Quick GPS to update the satellite position data) can't access the internet
Does anybody have a clue? It used to work, and I don't know what could have caused this, I don't remember having changed anything.
My WLAN router and connection to the internet works of course...

Give the wifi more power?
Can you ping the phone from another computer on your network?
Do you have proxy settings on the phone?

Thanks for the suggestion, I have not tried to ping my phone, will do it when at home.
Proxy settings? where could I configure those? I do'nt find anything in then Internet Explorer - I'm quite new to Windows Mobile.
To ChumleyEX: even when I am in the same room as my router with 100% signal strength it does not work..
i would look in the router settings

The phone had been working fine with the same hardware and firmware?
I've seen this issue with some WiFi routers, you need to increase the power of the phone WiFi signal, even when the phone is at 5 cm from the router.
In my case only old WM 6.0 radios, or 1.58.26.20 WM 6.1 radio connect without problems on "low power" setting, and from very far away.
I'm not sure what's wrong with that router, I have 4 laptops and all connect fine (obviously the laptop antena is 100 times bigger, and it has a lot more power available, but with the phone at 5 cm from the router, that's not the problem)
Solved thanks to
ChumleyEX and vcespon: you were right!
I had to change the wifi power slider to "best performance". Now it works.
Thank you.
vcespon: to the radio you mentioned (1.58.26.20 WM 6.1 radio), do you know where I could get it and flsh it?
aw I was right, I feel all tingly inside.
Tnx mate, i've been looking at this problem all day. Increasing the radio's signal strength worked for me too.
thanks... it works
I've been running WM 6.1 on my Kaiser for over 2 months. WiFi connections were running smoothly - no problems then. But from some time, the phone is just trying to connect, showing finally an error message. The router is Linksys WRT300N. Protected with WPA-PSK2 TKIP.
have you tried connecting to another wifi router? Maybe it's something to do with your router settings.
It connects to unsecured networks. Also, the phone connects when I set a fixed IP, but I can't use internet then. I might turn off the security, but some dicks from the nearby house found my network and were using it - that's why WPA-PSK is turned on.
you may want to try setting your router to mix mode which mean devices with 802.11 g,b, and n can connect. while you may have it on N that may cause the device to not connect to the router.

Hi guys!
I have a Touch Diamond 2. It's great and certainly an upgrade from my Touch Cruise!
I have a strange problem though. Whenever I try to connect through 3G (T-Mobile Netherlands), immediatly after it makes the connection, it gives the dialog 'cannot connect etc'. 3G is truly connected but no data is coming in.
Now I have found where the problem lies, sort of. 3G works fine when I don't configure my home Wifi connection. Whenever I configure that, 3G stops working. It doesn't matter if Wifi is turned on or off. 3G does have a dynamic ip, where my Wifi connection requires a static IP. But I make all these settings in the Wifi part of the configuration screen, the IP details are under the 802.11 b/g network card.
This used to work flawlessy on my Cruise. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!
good morning. as you are with tmobile i'd suggest you are having the same problems as me with tmobile uk. for some reason tmobile sets up a proxy server in your 3g data connection setup, this caused huge problems for me but clearing it solved them all.
try this first and see how you go.
Possible, but where exactly do I change the proxy settings of the 3G connection?

Hey that's a coincidence, just read the same question at GoT
I have similar problems.
Now and than my HSDPA connection works good, but at some moment I just can't reach any website.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to HSDPA sometimes helps, and sometimes I just have to wait a few minutes and than it works again.
I also tried another DNS (OpenDNS) but it doesn't solve the problem,
Proxy settings can be found at (I assume your dutch):
Instellingen> Meer> Verbindingen> Verbindingen> Mijn proxyserver instellen
At my TD2 is no proxy set, so thats not the cause.
Hope sombody else can help!
Do you have a static IP for WIFI as well? I kinda found out that setting WIFI on dynamic IP solves the 3G problem, so somehow they must be connected. But this should be able to work, it's almost as if 3G 'takes over' the static IP from the WIFI settings, but the connection settings from my 3G are offcourse set to dynamic.
I had exactly the same problem with my D2. I also had it on my Cruise with the later ROMs. The official HTC 6.1 ROM did not have this problem.
I experience it when I set up my wifi 802.11b/g network card in the phone to have a static IP address and set the default gateway. If I use DHCP there is no problem.
Setting the wifi card up on the phone DEFINITELY screws up the cellular data connection.

I use a dynamic IP, for me it doesn't work.
With my dear old Wizard (MDA Vario) I had no problem at all with the same settings!
yup thought i was the only one with this problem need a fix for it soon man otherwise we are gettin bumped for not havin the settings coz we on t-mobile
I solved it temporarily by setting Wifi to dynamic IP, but this prevents me from connecting at work. I'll send HTC an e-mail, let's see if they are willing to hot-fix this one
for me i find that the web sites work but any app that requires to go online ie facebook, msn, sky fire etc jus dont work wen you try to connect online......... stupid t-mobile
My connection problems are gone.
Maybe I (we) encountered hickups with the T-Mobile proxy-server....
maybe You can help me.
I have a MDA V (germany T-Mobile) and i can not connect to my AP here at Home.
I have a ASUS WL500g configured as AP behind my Firewall/Router. All other device in my house, a Laptop, a Netbook and a 'WII' working fine!
All get the IP from the Router, the AP works transparent.
D2 will not connect. The Mac-Address from the D2 is configured in the AP, and i can see the router statuspage and see the MAC of the D2 sometimes in the list. But only as "associated" and never as "associated authorized" as the Laptop here in example:
-------------------------------------------------
Stations List:
-------------
00:23:76:yy:xx:xx associated <-D2
00:1C:BF:yy:xx:xx associated authorized <- Laptop
--------------------------------------------------
I configured a lot in the settings, but i cant get the D2 online with wifi.
Can someone plz help a bit?
-
other question: if i manage the problem some day, is it possible to configure the Networksettings of the D2 device in the way that the device only use USB and te WiFI-Connection to access the internet? I hat it that the device use mobile-internet connection without asking me to do so.
Same problem

I was experiencing the same problem, only with the difference that I am using 3 different Wi-Fi adapter settings every day (for 3 different networks - two with fixed IP and one with DHCP enabled. Most elegant solution that I came up with was a small, but very handy application called "WiFi Profiles". Settings for WiFi adapter are easily changed by choosing a profile that you want to use and applying it. Before you disconnect from WiFi network, you just set adapter to DHCP, and after that your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection works like a charm. By the way, I am proud owner of Touch HD but I am using Dutty`s Topaz based rom V3.4 XTREME SHIP.
Hey guys, I got a problem with wifi on my One. The thing is I got a couple of wifi routers in my house (one can't cover the entire building) and they're both broadcasting the same SSID, password etc. basically one is connected via RJ45 to the other and set up exactly the same way. Problem is when I move around the house and lose connection to one of my routers and the phone automatically connects to the other all my connections on the phone stop working and I have to turn my wifi off and on again. Same thing happens when I'm at my university, each floor has 2 wifi routers on it and phone tends to jump between them screwing up the internet connection each time. I know it might not be the biggest issue in the world but still it's quite annoying especially since my old SGS didn't have this problem. My phone is not branded and of course up to date. Thanks for any advice.

From my experience after installing a lot of different wifi's in different operation modes, it all depends on how exactly the routers have been setup.
But to answer your initial question- the topic at hand; as long as the wifi's broadcasts the same SSID, you cannot choose which of the two individual routers you want to connect to. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik this is not possible. If you want the possibility to choose, then set them up with different SSID's. This would be the _easiest_ solution, just make sure they broadcasts at different frequencies with at least 5 channels apart, i.e. channel 1 and 6, or 6 and 11, or 1 and 11. These are the most popular ones in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. If you use 5 GHz you have a lot more to choose from.
Now, if it's important that your network works seamlessly (with the same SSID), I can provide a step by step guide upon request.
But the solution to your current problem, from my experience; yes you have to turn the wifi off and then on again to "force" the wlan-card on your cell phone to -faster- connect to the closest router, otherwise it will take maybe 15-45 seconds before it does this automatically. It's basically the same with computers. This mostly happens if the wlan-card are within range of both networks, but it will try to stay connected to current one before changing.
And there are some important guidelines to follow when you connect one router to another if they are from the same brand (because of the ip-range and gateway). I once had to setup 8 wifi-routers in a house, because of the size and the thick concrete walls (same SSID)...
The problem is my laptops and other phones don't seem to have this problem, also the phone doesn't 'fix' itself after 40 or so secs it just stays broken as far as I've noticed forever (or at least till i leave my house). Also it doesn't have a problem connecting to the other router, it loses connection, looks for available networks, finds my other router, connects and... nothing works. Exact same thing at the university, finds routers, connects with 5/5 bars and it just doesn't work.

Are you sure you have it setup with DHCP and not some static ip-settings? Can you post some screenshots of your wifi-settings?
If you haven't tried already, get your phone to "forget" it's settings so you have to reenter the password and make sure it's set to DHCP. But first take out the power from both your routers so they get a reboot, and make sure the ethernetcable is connected from one of the LAN ports on the main router connected to the internet (from your cable/dsl/fiber-modem), and in to the WAN/Internet port on the secondary router. Btw what routers do you use as master and slave?
Yes of course I have the routers set up just like you say And yes I'm using DHCP on both of them. They are Airlive 1600GL with tomato rom as main and WR740N as secondary. I took screenshots of what seemed relevant sorry the main router's settings are not in English but it seems that would require me to reflash it with a different rom.

What's with the DNS being 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4?

These are Google DNS.
I would do it simple and solve it by changing the SSID on the slave router to something different, like wireless2, and change channel to 1. Or change the channel on the master router from 8 to 11. Your phone will probably change from one network to another faster this way, or it's at least easier for you to manually choose.
If that doesn't help, and the network is 100% problemfree for other wireless devices, I guess it must be a firmware or hardware problem with your One's wlan-card. Most likely firmware.
I will try it in the morning but still I'm pretty confident it's not the matter of setting up my home network but rather One's software bug. I can't say with 100% certainty right now but I don't remember having this issue before the update to the newest Android version.
Both routers need to be on the same subnet, enable dhcp server on one and disable it on the second one. Also set the second one as an access point only with a static ip in the same subnet.
The problem you have now is that wireless clients must negotiate a new ip when switching routers because of different subnets assigned to each.
Let me know if you need more details.
But still that would fix the problem at my home, what about when I'm somewhere else?
What ROM are you running? I leave wifi enabled all the time and haven't had any issues moving between networks, it automatically connects when another network is in range.
Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5 all stock not even rooted.
Since your completely stock it should just work. I'd try fixing the home network first and see if that solves the issue at home, then move on to trying to figure out the network issue at school.
Router1 - master
Internet connected to wan port
Cable from lan port to a lan port on router2
Dhcp: enabled with an ip range of 192.168.1.100 and up
Lan ip 192.168.1.1
Channel 1
Router2 - slave
Nothing connected to wan port
Cable from Router1 lan port to lan port on this router
Dhcp: disabled
Lan ip 192.168.1.2
Channel 11
Set ssid and wpa settings the same on both routers.
With this setup clients can hop from one access point to the other without a dhcp request or ip change, should switch within seconds.

Tried that setup for many times over the years I've worked with routers, from my experience that is unstable.
