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.

Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security
My VOX has stopped communicating to my router. This appears to have happened since I accidently deleted profile but that could be co-incidence..
It sees my network...
Settings VOX
Net type INTERNET
Auth WPA 2
AES
USE IEEE 802.1x YES
AEP type: Smart Card or certificate
Settings WAG200G nothing really relevent here except to say AES as above.
My phone seems to connect WITHOUT encryption but when I add encryption (with real simple password) this is where the phone can't connect for some reason... My laptop is still connected to the router without any problems there is no MAC filter or anything like that.
Anyone please help!
BTW tried hard reset not helped.
i have the exactly same problem. i tried other kinds of config on my router but nothing worked.without encripton or password it connects...
Not connecting to WIFI
Seems more people have this problem?
WPA2 does seem to be a problem. Personally I also use fixed IP, but never got my phone connected to my home network.
@work I use WEP and DHCP, no problem connecting.
@home I use, as mentioned, WPA2, AES, Fixed IP, router.
If anybody got a simple answer...?
btw, I got this problem after using other roms(for almost a year now). Basic HTC rom (WM 6.0 :-( ) seems to work fine.
Half connected in fact
Hi, I'm also getting a wifi problem after installing the RUU_Vox_HTC_FRA_1.34.406.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship ROM (and thus resetting everything in the profile), but I wonder if it's really the same thing.
My phone connects to the wifi, gets an IP (both the phone and the router show the same IP attributed), but PIE and Outlook Pocket can not use the network. It's just like they couldn't see the network. But they don't use Edge either to connect, so they probably somehow try to send data to the network,but they fail.
Oh, and WEP encryption changes nothing. And I can't test with fully removing the encryption, as I use an internet box, not a standard router.
What I don't get is that I was browsing just fine on this ROM and the same config in my router I wish someone with more knowledge would spare a minute to help us out here or at least point us in the right direction
Solved
I upgraded the firmware on my router... :d thx
I can't seem to connect to my work network that is using WPA-PSK security. Anyone seen this problem before. I've double and triple checked my key and my laptop works fine.
I have no issue. I have WPA-PSK at home. It works fine
tried any other network?
try toggling aes vs tkip and otehr small settings like that. it's got to be a small setting that you're overlooking. i've used encryption on multiple wpa-psk networks and they've worked flawlessly as long as the settings were entered correctly. try again!
Have you got MAC address filtering turned on? No amount of times trying to connect, even with the correct key will give you access if that feature is turned on.
funny... I just got the same problem on the same day...
I used WPA-PSK for a long time untill the day. My TP just couldn't connect to my access point. Another laptop works normally with this.
I've tried without WPA-PSK. It was normal.
Yes, I've tried to re-setting WEP-PSK or check at MAC filter already
Trey setting the time to the time on your router as it sounds to me at the time is different as WPA is a temporal keying system time is a factor and sounds outside the maximum driff
have issues sometimes less after i changed to wpa-AES instead which is also more secure
but one thing I found fixed the issue was to power off the router for 10sec and plug it in again so think some routers get dizzy but too many reconnects by the same device
as I had the same issue with my ipod touch but never with laptops and desktops using wifi
I'm not sure if this is the same problem I had before but..
I used to have a problem connecting to my university's wireless internet. It was protected with WPA too (not sure about PSK part). What I found was if you keep pressing the connect button really quickly, it'll eventually connect after a few tries...
There's a chance that it the wireless router that you're trying to connect to. I remember in the past some firmwares weren't compatible with certain devices (cant remember where I read that).
I have the same problem connecting to a wpa-psk network at a friend's house, but works perfectly fine on my home wpa-psk network. No filtering or any special settings on either network. You should try another network to see if it works.
Also, strangely enough, if I enable wpa authentication in the Advanced Configuration app, it doesnt work. So I have that disabled.
try reboot your router and maybe everything back to normal. I have the same problem and even worth my laptop couldn't connect to the Internet.
I don't know if there is a timeout for encryption setting .
My problem was resolved. Not sure if this will work with your TP. I found this solution somewhere here. Thanks to them.
Go to "Advanced config" program (if you don't have it, u can find it somewhere here)
then under "Network"
set "WPA authentication" to DISABLE
Maybe I have changed it by accidental before.
I have spent the last week at work more focused on the XDA forum than what I am actually paid to do here at work...
I am so unproductive now, I am actually willing to donate to the forum if the forum can produce results, so that I can finally get back to work in peace!
I have thoroughly read through most relevant posts. I cannot find any specific post that solves the problem I have, so I decided to post anew, against some suggestions...
Anyway, the problem is that,
I cannot get any of my applications that are internet-dependent (skype, mail, weather etc) to access the WIFI connection that "apparently" looks connected, IF WEP (or any other encryption, for that matter) is enabled on the WIFI Router.
OK, what I mean by "apparently" is that the Wifi signal appears at its fullest, the lollipop on top of the screen with arrows is there, and even if I go into start>settings>Connections>wifi, it says that (my particular internet connection, named) Linksys is "connected".
The problem is, with wep encryption (and any other encryptions), it has worked once or twice. I cannot remember if that was before or after the Hard-SPL and radio downgrade (to get it unlocked) but ever since that "beginners luck" connection, I have had no success with connecting these apps to internet through WIFI.
First of all, I cannot figure out why, but I can connect by
1/ GPRS (the only available here in Vietnam - no 3G /HSDPA yet),
2/ with open connection and no encryptions of any kind by the WIFI router, my WIFI and Raphael connects fine. Data transfer happens.
The reality is, it is not very realistic for me to ask all others at work to make their WIFI connection with no security or encryptions..
So, having explained the situation, in a nutshell, problem is that by enabling excryption like WEP, the connection does not allow me to use WIFI on my raphael.
Is this hardware or software on Raphael side? or is it WIFI router side?
Other devices, including my TyTn II connects fine with WEP, which rules out the router, right?
I cannot remember if the problem started before or after OliPro unlock...
If it worked before but not now, there is of course always the possibility of hardware mulfunction, but since it works with no encryption, I am guessing it is hardware?
I have gone to other WIFI networks that are healthy, with other hand held devices happily connected to WIF, but nope...not me...
Any ideas guys?
WRT54G2 Wireless_G Router
DHCP Enabled,
Wireless network mode is set at mixed (both G and B, but by the way, I have tried only G and only B too, with no luck)
Channel set at 1, SSID enabled.
WM 6.1
ROM 3.14.731.04 JPN
Radio 1.10 Olinex
Protocol 52.35.25.21H
AFAIK, Raphael connects to WEP, WPA, WPA2(TKIP/AES)...
did you try deleting all the wifi settings and reconnecting?
or hard reset?

I completely understand what you are going through & I am going to suggest something for you but the results might vary.
Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned off.
Open your Comm Manager | Settings | Wireless LAN.
When you're in the Wireless LAN Settings panel, select Power Mode.
Slide the selector to Best Performance.
Tap OK & when you're back in the Comm Manager, turn on the Wi-Fi adapter.
Setup your work connection & see if your internet connections work.
One thing to note, while this has resolved my connectivity problems, the settings are not always saved for some unknown reason.
So, be prepared to key in the settings again.
I resorted to everything , not leaving anything to chance, and did many things at once.
It is now fixed, it seems, but at great cost in terms of time, and I cannot be sure which one of these was actually helpful.
But I hard-reset the TP, as well as updating the firmware on both the modem and the WIFI router, and then did hard reset on them too...
I cannot judge on what turned out to be true on other peoples' TP, but for me at least, for both TyTn II and Touch Pro I am currently using, setting connection from "internet" to> "Work" did not help at all....
Thanks anyways...
Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?
have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.
Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.
I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.
I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.
I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.
I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...
