i have been searching the internet for how to setup wifi on my new cingular 8525 and it was asking me about network key so please, HELP ME PEOPLE!!!
you have to supply your SSID (what your router is called or the router you want to connect to)
and then ´password if the connection is encrypted
Some questions to find out the answers to first.
1. What is the SSID of your router? Out-of-the-box routers are named things like "Linksys" and the like.
2. What kind of encryption is your router configured to use? This is why it is asking you for a key. Types that place nice with WM5:
WPA (good)
WEP128 (not so good)
WEP64 (not so good)
I have always had trouble getting WPA2 to work with all my pocket PCs. (WM3, WM5)
The nice thing about WPA is that you can use a regular pass-phrase for your password. With WEP, you are stuck using a 13 or 6(?) length string as your passphrase. Plus, WEP can be broken quite easily.
So, it sounds like you need to go back and configure your router, so you know what the SSID is, and what the passkey is.
Good luck.
Hello,
I know, that many people uses WiFi to connect to free HotSpos, without passwords.
Anyway - if I have a network with WPA or WEP - does the WiFi from Qtek 830 work?
Thanks in advance,
RA
My T-mobile SDA uses WEP.
Yes
I've tested recently with WPA-TKIP and it worked well.
Its works for mewith WPA now, but I had to fiddle around with it for a while first, though. I think I had to disable WPA2 on my router to get it to work.
I have several SP5 phones, and i've used them without much trouble for the last coupe of years. We used a Linksys router to connect via wifi and it worked well, but know we bought a Cisco 851w router and the SP5 don't connect to it. They receive the SSID, but if we try to connect to the router, it just doesn't happen.
The SP5 are flashed with the last official i-mate WM5 ROM.
Does anyone has any idea what the problem maybe? I've read that the CCX Cisco extension has caused some problems with others HTC devices, but i don't knonw if this router uses CCX and if it does how to disable it.
Any help is welcomed.
i've the same issue with conceptronic router... i've tried with wep, open, b/g, 54/11, ALLLL!!!! arg :S
why... whyyyy.... whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
only can connect with adhoc with PC.
Try set PowerMode. Find key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms\HTCPowerMode
Set the value to 0 (default should be 4)
That registry value is already set in 4, thanks anyway. I am pretty sure the problem is with the router, the infamous CCX, but i have no clue how to solve this, and in cisco forums i haven't found any answers.
Sorry, I meant to set to 0. (Have updated my first post)
Try it. This trick works for me on my gigafast router.

I tried with 0, but also no luck.
Not sure if this will help, but how I got my tornado working with my dlink router was to go into the wireless setup of the router and change the WPA mode to 'WPA Only' and to change the cipher type to 'TKIP'.
For some reason if the WPA mode is set to auto (WPA or WPA2), the tornado will never connect.
Wooow thank you very very very much... I searched since a lot of month (connexion problems with a Zyxel)... and now, all is OK... (with param at 0 in registry)
Thx
My TouchPro can connect normally to unsecured wifi networks, but with WPA encrypted ones, it can only connect for the first time, after that it can not.
At home I have a wireless router/ADSL modem (Zoom X6) that is connected to my PC by cable, all my phones and laptops connect to internet via wifi. While other phones (1G iPhone) and laptops always connect successfully, the TP only connected once and then cannot or unable connect to the WPA security-enabled wireless network (although it's able to scan and detect the availability of the Wifi network). I tried to reset the router settings, even update router firmware, but no luck, it's still unable connect. I also tried with my office secured wifi network and I had the same problem.
Yesterday, I had to hardreset my TP and tried to connect once again, but problem was repeated, connected only once and after that, unable. Note that my previous PPC (TMobile Ameo WM5) didn't have any problem with the same wifi router and the same wifi settings (as follow).
My TP wifi settings:
Network Name: MyNetwork
Connects To: The Internet
Uncheck "This is a hidden network"
Next step:
Authentification: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Greyed Out: The key is automatically provided
Network Key:************** (my pass)
Greyed Out: Key Index: 1
Next,
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" but greyed (I can't change this)
Anybody know the solution for this issue?
Thanks and very appreciated for any help.
i experienced similar problems with my old p4350 but not yet with the TP...
no solution, sorry. but im quite unhappy that this issue still exists...
Any suggestion, pls.
yeah.. quite sucky.. I though the WiFi 'broke'.. but i was able to connect to a WEP site.. I think its something to do with WPA.
I never had this problem with my Diamond. The firmware on Diamond isso much more stable compared to Touch Pro..
I set everything to WEP and my key is open instead of shared, and now it works fine.
I had issues at my dad's, who has no encryption, and also there, when I set the key to open io shared, I got connection. (even though there is no key
anyway, it looks like that is the bug (at least in my device)
I have exactly same settings and same problem... but I want to use this encrypted connection since in future I will have to connect also in other places where I need it for sure.
Any help here?
I have similar promblem with my Hermes before.
My wireless router is running "Turbo-G" mode, my Hermes can't connect it with Turbo-G mode On.
After I change the wirless mode from Turbo-G to "g/b", my Hermes can connect it without any problem.
I tryed that and does not work...
strange is that is was working in the past and on router I did no changes but on TP I installed just some apps which should not affect this...
Only what could affect is Advanced config which I installed...
So where else can be problem?
How can I troubleshoot this?
Signal kvality is good but still keeps dropping and does not obtain IP from router.
mine works fine...not that that helps you in any way
I found the solution: set router to unsecured and use MAC filter. But that is only a tip, because my TP still can not connect with any other secured wifi.
I had same problem and looks like I found the bug in Advanced Config 3.2
There is in Network -> WPA auth... was enabled and I put Disabled (now I can use WPA auth anyway... before it just could not connect)
And next Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0 (when I changed to other number than I got problem that I could not even see any AP as I could see before and only network card settings was shown)
Try to play with other settings and you will see... I had also errors with device.exe after reboot... but now it all works as it should.
Just post here if it helps you also so we can notify creator of Advanced Config...

You are merely restricting people from connecting to your router.. without encryption, you are sending unsecure packets all over..
Have you tried using AES encryption on your device instead of TKIP? I only mention this because TKIP is the only one I haven't tried. All other methods of connectivity work fine for me with the TP.
I tried the PT using unsecured routers, WEP and WPA and all of them worked fine with stable connectivity.
The routers I have tried (without any problems) so far are:
1. Linksys WRT-54G running Tomato firmware
2. Linksys WRT-54G running DD-WRT firmware
3. D-Link DIR-655 running latest firmware
I tired open, WEP and WPA1+2 on all of the above routers and the TP responded with zero issues...
I am not using a custom ROM.
I hope this helps in some miniscule way.
Good luck.

I was about to say the same thing...
Not having any issues with my girlfriends WPA secured router. It's on WPA2-PSK and AES encryption. Enter key first time (case sensitive!!), and of you go... Connecting without trouble ever since
hmm..Funny mine still can't connect to my home WPA2, AES or TKIP.. I'm on the Buffalo Tomato firmware..
WIFI not connecting
This solution worked for me!! Excellent. This was a right pain!

I've got the sollution, everybody on this forum probably has advance config installed, the program sets some default value's of it's own, set the WPA authentication under network in the advance config program to disabled and it will work again. Anyways, that worked for me
I've removed WiFi settings and then I edited settings again. It works now
Raphael Wifi problems
I bought this Fuze to replace my trusty Dash since I broke the antenna on my Dash. I'm running NRG Magic, but have tried other NATF and other ROMs as well, I cannot get this phone to connect to my wifi network I'm using WPA2-PSK but have disabled security for testing. My Dash and my laptop connect immediately with no problems. If I cannot get wifi going on this Fuze I'm afraid I'll have to put it on Ebay and try the Iphone, which people seem to love.
The Fuze did connect once, and it was WPA2-PSK at the time, I don't remember what ROM I was using at the time probably an NRG flavor, but Ihave had _no_ luck since.
Should I flash to 'official' ROM? Honestly I'm getting tired of playing with this thing I don't have the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
I may have found something
Check your time zone/daylight savings settings on your router. Phone and router time must be in sync.
So is there anyway to get the G1 to work on PEAP networks?
My college campus uses this form of security and it doesnt appear that the G1 is equipped to work with it.
I've searched and found little to nothing on the subject
You're not searching hard enough.
