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)
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
I came to visit my bro and sis in Miami and can not connect to either of their two wifi networks at their house. But yet I was able to connect to a TMobile hotspot, and a hotspot at Miami intl mall. I have no idea WTF gives! It's distressing me. Back home I was able to connect to various wifi's without a problem.
On the phone when I click to connect it only asks me for the WPA password. I know it's correct, since I'm able to connect to the two wifi networks with my TF300T. If I long press on the SSID nd select "Modify" - it only lets me change the passphrase and no other settings.
I'm on CM7 7.2.0.
Anyone have any ideas?
It's there any way I can specify priority of one SSID over another in MM? Is there an app or some other method?
I have Xfinity Internet service, so I am able to access any Xfinity WiFi network when I'm out. My home router therefore has both my home SSID and the Xfinity open one. If I'm out, and therefore sometimes connected to Xfinity, I come home and it automatically connects to Xfinity instead of my network and then I can't access my network.
I know I can just tell it to forget the Xfinity SSID, but if there was some way to tell it to always choose my home network over that one, that would be better.
Thank you!
BTW, currently running TEKXodus Hybrid N5 URv8E if it should matter.
Hi guys!
I'm in an hospital because of a motorbike accident, and I have to stay there for at least 4 weeks.
In this hospital they have a Sophos APs infrastructure, with multiple APs with the same SSID.
I noticed that the closest AP to my hospital room is not well configured.
I receive from it the IP via DHCP, but I don't have internet access.
Same thing on both 2.4ghz and 5.2ghz bands of this AP.
I see the Mate10Pro trying to get the IP and probably checking internet access, and because there is no internet access it tries to switch between the two bands.
I enabled in System>Developer Options the "enable details on wifi SSID picker", so I can see the MAC address, the signal strenght in dB and the frequency.
With WPA Tester app in my Mate10Pro I get the list of all APs nearby with their MAC address, all APs as I said have the same SSID (in the Sophos APs they enabled the "roaming" function).
In WPA Tester I can choose a specific AP from the list and connect to it.
If I connect to the other ones than the closest one, they work fine, I have IP and also internet access.
Surely I will notice to hospital workers that they have a setting problem in their wifi infrastructure, and I will tell them the MAC address of the specific AP (the closest to my room) that have the problem.
But in the meantime, is there a way in stock Mate10Pro 8.0.0.145 no root to filter the MAC addresses of the AP the phone wifi connects to in the stock wifi picker?
I didn't find anything to do a such filter.
Because after a few minutes, the wifi picker switch to the closest AP, because it's signal strenght is more powerful than the one I connected to with WPA tester.
In the meantime I solved the problem by using NetSetMan software in my Win10 notebook with an Intel AC7265, in NetSetMan I created a profile with the specific MAC address of the closest AP that works, and then enabled the Win10 hotspot. My Mate10Pro connects to this hotspot.
Thanks for your help guys!
Have a great day!
