I am having problem accessing my internet connection through my wireless router. Everytime, i tried to connect my G1 to my SSID, it says obtaining IP address then it says unsuccessful.My wireless router is a LinkSys 802.11N with WPA encryption. I did some research and the G1 only accepts 802.11b/g routers? Is that true?
that could be true since it runs on 3G network... just go buy a new routher. i use my FiOS and there is 802.11g router
A N router should be able to trasmit to G adapters. At least thats how it is with linksys routers. No need to even go get a new router . Look under the settings and see if its just broadcasting N or if can Do N and G.
Had this problem. Change your security to WPA2 Personal Only, not WPA1. Should fix it.

Thats what I had to do. Please specify more information on what ROM your using. Different ROM's have different Wifi drivers

Anyone else having trouble using the internet over wifi (wep & wpa) with the actiontec router that comes with Verizon fios? I can ping the G1 and telnet into it. Just can't use the browser. I am able to connect to other WPA encrypted routers and everything works great. This problem existed on rc19 and continues on rc30.
Thanks for any help.

It worked well with my actiontec, with WPA as well. sounds strange...maybe a router reboot

Was the first thing i tried.
I don't have one yet (it is coming December 13th HAHA) But can you two compare firmware versions? Maybe you need to update that... or maybe there is a setting that is preventing the phone from getting to the net. It sounds more like a setting on the router than the phone.
I would check DNS settings and make sure all works well... Can other wifi devices connect to the net?
Same here, 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7.
Have also tried static and dynamic ip's. My daughters DS and computer are connected via wifi. Next I'll try turning UPnP on.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Edit: UPnP is a no go. I don't want to do a factory reset but, looks like I'm headed that way.
have the same problem
what did you end up doing?
tried it
didnt work...
I have fios myself and the wifi portion of the Actiontec router is craptacular. I've had all sorts of compatibility problems with various wifi cards. I have replaced the primary router with a .N aftermarket one and hooked up the Actiontec as a regular client so the TV cable boxes can still get programming updates. Naturally, I turned off the wifi on the actiontec.
So its basically like this:
Actiontec -> D-Link N (or whatever you want) -> Internet
If you go down this route you just have to make sure whatever router you make your primary is not on the same private network. Actiontec uses 192.168.1.X. I've had no problems since switching to a higher end router. Also, you can clone your mac address from the actiontec or call verizon and have them reset your DHCP lease. They know the drill.
I have FIOS with the newer Westell routers and the wifi sucks on them as well. I got a belkin and use it as a wifi expansion. So it uses the same IP as the router but just adds a wifi network. Pretty neat if you ask me.
so i think may have found a solution that may work for you (it worked perfectly for me). what i did was switch my security to WPA2 and left the encryption standard to AES only as a pose to TKIP+AES. I also reset the router before this but im sure you dont have to do that. let me know if this works.

Could you be kind and give us more details of exactly how you connected and setup the belkin router to improve the wifi? My FiOS wlan also sucks and Verizon tech support is useless.
Thank you.
Oops! Just realized this is a very old thread......
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.

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.

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 have an interesting problem. I am in Dubai, where the ISP (Etisalat) provides Internet via Fiber-optic cables to my residence. They have this modem which I connect my wi-fi router to.
After connecting to my wi-fi router the usual way, I have to dial-in via a Broadband PPPoE connection, where I provide the ISP username and password. I have to do this every time I connect to the Internet.
Unfortunately, this means I cannot connect my Nexus One to the Internet This is because I am not aware of any app/functionality that enables PPPoE dialing on Android.
I had installed Connectify for Windows 7 that enabled me to share my authenticated Internet connection with other devices (and hence my N1). However, after FR83, this seems to have stopped working as well, for some reason. It is extremely difficult to connect to the shared Wifi created by Connectify, and even after connecting, I cannot browse the Internet.
I have already tried setting a static IP address for the N1, but this did not resolve the issue.
Can anybody offer guidance, ideas? Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
PI
Get a router, set the router to connect through PPPoE and every device that connects to the wireless router will work.
Thanks, but I wouldn't want to spend more money...

Thanks, but I wouldn't want to spend more money on another router. I have a Wi-fi router already, but I don't know if it has the ability to connect via PPPoE. It's a 3COM 3CRWDR200A-75.
Will try and research if I can enable PPPoE via this somehow.
Cheers,
PI

There you go.
Set your current router to connect through pppoe and you are ready.
Good luck.

More accurately, it is a router that happens to have a wireless interface. Most home wireless routers usually have the functionality of a switch as well (that is, providing multiple connections to the same local network), but they usually include routing capability to move traffic from your local area network to the Internet.
Hi guys. I have not access to market because of my region. Can any body get me the WIFI PPPoE ?
wifi pppoe doesnt work for me
So, I've searched for a bit, on here and Google, but not having much luck. My phone has always been good at connecting to WiFi hotspots. However, I am currently visiting a house that has a Wireless N router and using WPA2 security, and it won't connect.
Is it true that these phones have issues connecting to that or is there a fix?

Well the hero only has b/g wireless capabilities, change the wireles router to also brodcast in g mode, since n will not work.
Here is the odd thing. I mentioned about it to the person who setup the wireless network, and he said that the router is broadcasting in B, G, and N. My phone detects it, but when it attemps to connect to it, it says "Disconnected". Am I doing something wrong or is there something missing in my phone?
My phone connects just fine to my N router. There might be setting restrictions that need to be changed on the router via the administrative computer
