Hi all,
i just bought the Diamond, and i'm trying to connect to a WPA protected Wifi hotspot.
It's trying to connect for ever, but never succeeding.
Any ideas?
I see lot of issues with WPA and other models, but didn't found anything related to the Diamond.
Yep, it works. I've connected my Diamond with WPA-PSK using TKIP encryption to my hidden wireless network on channel 11 of my Davolink DV-2020 router at home. Try and set your WiFi energy settings on your Diamond to 'best performance'. That could solve your problem.
Same here works with WPA TKIP , alltho when set to max powersave it keeps dropping off. So set slider to middle or max performance.

I have a WI-Fi router at home which works fine with my PC, a laptop and an iPod Touch but I am struggling with the Kaiser.
Now and then I can connect with the Kaiser (usually after a reset) but only once. When I try to connect again it just comes up as 'connecting' and nothing happens?
Using WPA encryption on a Zoom wireless router. Any ideas?
Please use only wep opened 64 bit encription, working perfect!
I can connect to my Netgear with my Kaiser using WPA just fine. This doesn't help you much - sorry - but the device itself does work on WPA.

I had the same problem with NetGear wireless router. I removed everything using only MAC address filtering. Connected but the speed is much slower, sometime even timeout compare to my Dell x50v PDA.
Everything also works fine here. I can connect through WPA2 EAP to my dlink AP, my zyxel router and some other AP.
I had exactly the same problem when I was using TKIP with WPA, but switching to AES solved it.
Thanks for the tips- will have a further play and see if I can solve it
WIFI problem solved
I had the same problem. First connection went fine (asking for security key). Next day no chance to connect. Allways saying connecting and nothing happened.
I played around a while and checked the AP where i could see that the Kaiser connected but didn't get an IP.
Swithcing from TKIP to AES didn't solve the problem for me.
First time i connected i typed the security key in ASCII and it worked. I tried this all the time again and what helped was to use the security key in hex!
I remebered that in Linux you type in the WPA key in ASCII and it is converted into hex. So i converted the string to hex value and .... it's working!

Hello to all diamond people,
We all know, there is huge issue with this great phone about Wi-Fi connections. While Wi-Fi is one of the reasons people choosed touch diamond, what is their disapointment when they find out wi-fi doesn't work as it should.
I am talking about problem I am experiencing by myself - I am unable to connect to my home WPA secured and encrypted network. If I turn the security off on my router and wireless network becomes open, there is no problem at all.
But who wants unsecured, open wireless network at home, so all the neighbours can download whatever they want through your network?
Nobody.
During my research throughout forums I have come accross many people, experiencing same problem, but was not able to find the solution to the problem, or what is causing it.
My aim is to gather as many information as possible to help to fix this problem, so everyone could use wi-fi on their own home WPA secured wireless network.
Any ideas?
What is your ROM and radio versions? I've no problem connecting to my WPA enabled network. Which WPA option did you choose? It must match the same WPA option on your router. There are WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK, then there are also TKIP and AES to choose from. Try setting both Diamond and router to use WPA-PSK (TKIP) first, this should have the highest compatibility with other WPA supported devices on your network. And make sure you use a strong passphrase, you can use a WPA key generator.
Hey,
both router and HTC are set to WPA -PSK under TKIP encryption. I use my own network key.
The thing is, in wireless lan manager i can see htc does connect, but only for about a second, then it starts reconnecting all over again.
Sometimes it does connect and works for few minutes and sometimes it does connect to router, but not to the internet. It drives me absolutely mad.
I tried Advanced Config -> Network -> WPA authentication - enabled/disabled, but still experiencing problems.
I have heard there used to be issues with ROMs provided by the network operators, but that is not my case.
ROM: DIB Diamond v 1.33
RADIO: 1.00.25.05
WPA secured
Hey,
If You want to use WPA secured wireless networks with Diamond go to Settings-Wireless LAN-Power Mode and there set Power Save Mode to Best Performance. It works
Sorry for my English...

I guess it's probably not your ROM, since the DIB Diamond v1.33 is based on the newer 2.03 ROM. I was wondering, do other devices on your network have the same issue or it's only the Diamond? Connection dropping can be many reasons, and one of them is the router itself.

I don't have any problem even in Power Save mode.
Somewhere I have come accross the information some routers (particullary Belkins) do have problem with windows mobile devices.
Today I wrote to Belkin Support, thay should reply in 72 hours mad, however we may know more.
Since I am using unsecured wireless network now, at least I have activated the MAC addresses lock - only allowed MAC addresses can connect to router now. What do you think, how secure is that? There is no encryption now, could someone see the sommunication between me and the router?
Which Belkin router are you using? Check if there is a firmware update, you may want to try that.
MAC address filtering should be ok for now, it can stop the majority of people who try to use your network, it will take someone with a bit more networking knowledge to gain access to your network, but most people don't have that knowledge.
Yes, people can capture any unencrypted packets and read them. But if you're connecting to a secure website through HTTPS or any other secure protocols, the packets are still unreadable. For example, in the browser, if it's written https instead of http on the address bar, those sites are secure. Most regular websites are not secure though.
I was having a similar problem on my Touch Pro a while back. My router is also set to WPA-PSK/TKIP. Although you said you tried it, the solution for me was indeed to go into Advanced Config > Network > WPA Authentication > Disabled. I then removed all previous wifi settings and then added them again, and it connected without a problem.
It could be that there's something else preventing your connection, but from what I can tell you should at least have that setting disabled.

its pretty secure, as you cant guess the password, you would have to get in and add your device to the list (which you would need the username and password for)
Hi,
I recently upgraded to WM6.1 Rom and have several wireless Networks that i access in the same location.
I have noticed that it tries to connect to the strongest then will flip and try another without giving it sufficient time to receive an IP address.
Is there anything i can do?
Thanks
I have a similar problem.
1. I go to the comm manager and enable wifi
2. I go to Settings-> Wireless LAN
3. I get a screen that has:
SSID
an option to change the network
Mode
BSSID
Tx Rate
Rx Rate
Channel
signal quality
4. This screen will switch between showing the network that I am trying to connect with: SSID, mode, ESSID, and channel all filled in correctly as well the signal quality being almost 100% and no network.
5. It may be worth noting that when there is no network listed the channel changes.
6. I have tried rebooting both the phone and the router.
I am using the official WM6.1 ROM. I have tried WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK and I have double checked my key multiple times. I have tried configuring the phone to use TKIP and AES keys.
Does anyone have any ideas?
OK, I made a couple of changes but my current setup is:
WPA2
AES key
Wireless g/n mode
Dlink DIR-655 router
visible SSID
and everything seems to be working. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the passkey was bad originally although I had tried it a couple of times.
I don't connect to my wifi with security code WPA2-PSK AES with password is 14chards long. I haven't problem connect with HTC Diamond2. Do you have anybody problem with connect to wifi?
ROM 20279 maybe Alicante

try to change the setting from AES to TKIP at the wifi network settings...
this work sometimes for my home network (it is aes but my wings recognize it as a tkip, sometimes viceversa)
Hi,
I have some issue with WIFI. WIFI connection is very unstable even in 1 feet from router (Linksys WRT350N on DD-WRT 13064). It is connected very quickly and get IP address but then connection is working with very large delays (30+ seconds). If I disable and reenable WIFI adapter then it work good for some time but then it lost it again. All other devices work find with same router. I got 2 motorola BIONIC at launch day and both have WIFI issue.
Has anyone else have same issue?
Dmitry
I get slower than 3g speeds when I connect to my home Airport Extreme router.. No idea why... but my connection speed at work on our Wifi is just fine.

Mine kept disabling the wifi connection. Once I booted into recovery and reset, it was fine.
ive had issues with wifi too,got full signal but phone browser wont load anything.
I had this same problem. I hard reset using recovery but it came right back. I then did a reset using the the settings, privacy. I was able to fix the issue with the second hard reset. The only change I did was not allow Google to restore my phone from previous backup.
Goodluck.

Mine does the same thing.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
ive tried resets, changing setting on router, still unable to get browser to load web pages with wifi.
Is this a universal issue, or do I need to go back to Verizon and get the phone replaced? Anyone have the exact answer to this?

What are the odds you have WPA with AES encryption set on your router? I have had the Droid X and Bionic fail to load pages under that setting. But as soon as I switched the encryption to TKIP it worked on both.

Looking at the encryption now under security - NONE is what I have selected...
WEP CONFIGURATION
WEP Passphrase
WEP Authentication Yes Open No Shared Key
Encryption No Enable 64-Bit No Enable 128-Bit
WPA Encryption No TKIP No AES
Group Rekey Interval 0 seconds
WPA Authentication No Remote (Radius) Yes Local (WPA-PSK)
check your wireless frequency
For those of you able to connect with no problem but still can not access any internet i read somewhere that some Droid bionics were having trouble with b/g 2.4GHz routers. If your router is b/g only then disabling WEP encryption could work. I checked and sure enough mine is only wireless b/g however WEP encryption was already disabled. The fact that it could be because its a b/g only router would explain why I have no problem getting online at my job, which just aquired a new belkin dual band router, and my school, which I have no doubt uses only dual band routers being a college. I believe normally a/n 5GHz devices are suppose to be backwards compatible with wireless b/g. The only difference being less reliable and slower connection. Best bet is get a dual band router.
