I read with most new ROM images that they should have problems with wifi connecting. I think this is a misunderstanding.
The universal can connect to 54mbit networks only at 11mbit speed. it can connect to WPA secured networks only with TKIP encryption.
Not with WPA2 or AES! i think a lot of people here make this mistake!
so please test this and confirm my findings
If I remember my WiFi networking, you can configure a fast network (54 or 108Mb/s) to allow slower devices or not to.
So it can depend on the network.
In theory, yes, you can connect an 11Mb/s device to a 54Mb/s network. Mine works like that.
a small correction
latest WM6 images fail to connect to hotspot with WPA (TKIP) secured. there is a small trick to bypass it (shutdown and start the device).
It work
So ... I have a D-Link 2100AP - up to 108Mb/sec. I connect with notebook at 54MB/sec. WPA-TKIP
With Universal, at 5-11MB/sec - everything is ok.
This is with JWright 2.02.02 ROM and radio 1.18.
But, for example, with Indra latest wm6 rom, don't work. I find the AP with signal Strenght of 81%, I select WPS-PSK, TKIP, provide the password, but nothing
Hi Guys!
Does anyone know of a way to get the Universal to log into a WPA II network with AES encryption?
Although many people claim that WM6 supports WPA II all I can chose in network settings is WPA (one) with TKIP.
Suggestions?
i hope someone can figure this out as all i use is wpa2 at work and around the house
Still searching myself
Ive had no luck yet all ive found is a commercial product from juniper that allows WPA2 connection but it has issues with wm6.1 worked with wm5 and wm6.
I havent given up thought still keep searching in hope
WPA2 is a hardware issue
i think WPA2 needs a special hardware encoder/decoder chip, so it will not work.
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.
how should i set my wifi settings? i try to connect at home trough the modem provided by my isp (alice Gate 2+ wifi) it dosen't work but with my laptop i just insert the WPA then i'm on!
qtek 8310
rom: WM6 Standard 5.2.1616.18120.0.4.0 NiTroGenious
To diagnose what the problem is, I would first remove wpa and leave the network open. If you can connect at this point, it means wifi on your mobile device is working propertly, so you can continue with the wpa (make sure its not wpa2)
thx for the advise
I had updateed the lastest room but that don't support security WPA2 , only WPA .
How to connect AP with WPA2 security ?

Your can't connect to WPA2 securied network, because Tornado's network chipset doesn't suport this encryption It suports only WEP encryption and only in B standard...
Are you sure? My device connects to WPA Wifi routers perfectly. Not sure about WPA2, but I think it works as well. Afaik, the driver is doing this, not the chipset.
WM5 could only connect to non-hidden WPA, but WM6 is said to deal with SSIDs as well.
I didn't know that My C600 with SGregory WM 6.5 ROM doesn't connect WPA2 network. But will welcome for any solution to this problem.
Maybe then my C600 will stay with me for next 3 years
P.S. I always thought the decrypting of WPA/WPA2 is insluded in Wifi chipset...
