Wifi internet

I have a wireless network from which I can use two laptops to access the internet. I am able to access some web sites from my xdaIIi when it is connected with my laptop, but it tries to use GPRS to connect. All I want to do is use the xda to surf while both laptops are being used. I can connect to the network. Please will someone tell me All of the settings required for internet access.
Really appreciate any help.

Wifi the simplest to do.
I really dont know what the fuss about connecting via wifi is all about.
I am by no means a technical person on such issues but here I have tried to explain step by step to get wifi on XDA 2i & the laptop.
PLEASE DONT TURN ON THE WIFI until the steps are completed
Step 1
Click Start -> Settings -> Connections tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -
Select Networks -> Select MY WORK NETWORK for both (from the drop down menu) -> OK -> OK.
Step 2
This is the most important part & most people I feel get confused here becuase of some numbers involved.
Click Start -> Settings -> Network Cards -> My network card connects to: The Internet (from drop down menu) - click tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet -> Use specific IP ADDRESS
IP ADDRESS : 192.168.X.xx -> X is mostly 0 or 1 (check in the laptop),xx= any number other than the one in your laptop
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.X.1 -> X = 0 or 1
-> Click Name Servers tab
DNS : 192.168.X.1 -> SAME AS DEFAULT GATEWAY
ALT DNS : CHECK LAPTOP,put in the same numbers (not necessary to fill)
WINS : 192.168.X.1 -> SAME AS DNS & DEFAULT GATEWAY
Here is my settings in INDIA.
LAPTOP XDA 2i
IP ADDRESS : 192.168.1.32 IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.33
Subnet Mask :255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Default Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1 DNS: 192.168.1.1
ALT DNS
WINS :192.168.1.1 WINS :192.168.1.1
Please remember these are the settings for India .I think 192.168 is common through the world I guess ,only the last two numbers are different,i dont know
STEP 3
Click Start -> Settings -> WLAN -> turn on by clicking the [w] in the bottom
voila!!! (I HOPE ) Connected to NETWORK appears in STATUS.If you are using a WEP key on the laptop ,use the same key on the XDA 2i when prompted.
(If the network connection doesnt appear as connected in status)
Below the Main,Settings,LEAP tab there are 2 icons - PDA & W
click on the PDA icon
Configure Wireless Networks appears under which find your network & click on that
Network Name :
Connects to : WORK
Click Network key tab
Authentication : OPEN,SHARED among other choices in the drop down menu.(If you dont know then look it up in the laptop under wireless connections )
Data Encryption : WEP (MOSTLY)
(unselect the key is provided automatically if it is ticked)
Network key : ********(The WEP key as you enter in the laptop)
Key Index : 1
click 802.1x tab
Tick the selection & select PEAP from dropdown menu.
OK ->OK -> OK
FINALLY
CLICK START -> Programmes -> Internet explorer -> HAPPY SURFING
P.S - Must agree easy to do but tough to explain .

For me, just follow the Step 1 and after that turn ON the WIFI and get connected....

Most of the time, leaving your wireless adapter settings configured for DHCP will work fine - you just make sure your wireless profiles are set to connect to the Internet (when it finds a new network, it shows the box "which does this connect to?" and you have the choice of Work or Internet) and it should work fine, provided you don't have any hardware issues.
You can have hardware issues, though; my Alpine can't connect to some wifi routers (such as the wifi-enabled Thomson SpeedTouch 780WL modem/router which my ISP gave me, and which I HAVE to use to access the Internet at home) - it'll connect to my Linksys router fine, but that has no modem in it (I'm using it as a wireless repeater) but it just passes all traffic to the SpeedTouch anyway, so the SpeedTouch assigns IP addresses and does all the configuration work when new devices connect, and I've had problem elsewhere too - the device either doesn't connect at all, or it connects but then just goes round and round in circles not connecting properly.
It's a pain in the arse, and it's definitely a hardware fault (I've tried Hitchhiker and various other apps to try and make the device connect, and I can only get as far as "assigning an IP address" and it falls over). My new Hermes works fine on everything though, so I assume it's a definite hardware flaw.

Thanks !!

Anyone ?????

Thanks for advice councils guys

i REALY dont know why you need to run though all those setting, just turn your wifi on using the tab at the bottom right of the screen, then click on wirless manager (bottom left a square with a W in it), then the wlan icon to trun on the wifi, click on settings, its bottom right looks like a phone with a wire. find your wifi network and hold on it then click connect, if it comes up with network type, chose interet. then enter your wifi security key if needed, click okay and go back to main, then u can surf the net all you want the next time u just have to turn on your wifi and it will auto connect.

repeat the first part to turn off wifi ad save your battery.
this is how u use hotspots, just hunt out the best connection.
you can also find ppl with *COUGHunsecureCOUGH* wifi hubs.

Wifi connection issues

Hi all,
After connected to wifi, I still could not get any internet connection. Anyone knows why? Is there any additional settings i need to check/uncheck?
Thanks.

If your router/access point has DHCP enabled, there shouldn't be any additional settings.
On the TFLO Settings tab, open "Menu" -> "Wireless Networks", then "Advanced". Is "Status" associated, and a valid IP for your network?

DHCP IP assignment
I had a hard work of IP assignment with my Diamond initially. Could connect to Wifi with all of those security configs (WEP/WPA/WPA2) but could not fix IP. I had to change IP lease time from 3 weeks to 3 hours with my D-Link 624. Than it worked perfectly.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
My status is associated, and there is IP address assigned. I wonder what's wrong. The funny thing is, my Asus P750 is able to connect and surf.

Did you solve your issue? If not, try to change WIFI power management to max performance.

HTC one wifi issues FIX!

Hi,
First of all i'm sorry for my English its not my main language.
After having troubles connecting my WiFi at home i start looking in forums for solution.
I had trouble to connect my home network, it shows like connected but there is no real internet connection.
I tried that power button thing and didn't work, i tried hard reset and didn't work.
After I saw a guy that said its related to security in my router so i start digging and realized that when i disable my WiFi security its connecting.
So the solution is:
1. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> disable the password required.
2. connect to your home WiFi from your device, see if connected (hope it does)
3. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> enable password required (WPA/2)
4. connect to your home WiFi from your device with the new password.
It works for me, hope i helped.

no luck for me

Can’t connect to wifi

My phone cannot connect to my home wifi although it can connect to my personal hotspot from my other phone. Any solution?

Hi,
So you can connect to some Wi-Fi, but not your home's one ?
If so, check if your Wi-Fi router has a feature that allow only specified MAC addresses to connect.
If so, either disable that feature or add your device to the authorized ones.
Regards.

I can’t find the mac address configuration here. Is there any other solution?

Hi,
You will find it in Settings=> About Phone.
Regards

You have to disable your router WPA2-PSK SETTINGS , follow steps...
Connect any pc to that wifi> enter 192.168.0.1 on your browser or ip address for your router setting admin page> enter username and password ( if dont remember ask isp)> go to wireless setting once logged in>primary network> disable WPA2-PSK> APPLY>LOG OUT.
This should do the trick..

This will disable wifi encryption so that hackers can easily spy on that router.
