Mobility Site - View Single Post - How do I get my Wireless to access the correct channel

Hey there,

I had and continue to have the same problem. It seemed my axim liked to search channel 4, 11, then 6. So, what I did was change my wireless router channel to 4. Honestly, it didn't really change things. Eventually, I discovered (after working extensively with Dell's support, whether they liked it or not) that my wireless card in the Axim was faulty. I exchanged it and got a new axim. This time the wireless connected better, but the screen was unresponsive. But that's a different story.

So anyways, I suggest you go into your router settings. Go to the wireless options and change your channel to the first channel the axim seems to search for. For me, it was channel for. Just try to connect with your axim, and while it's connecting take a look at the wireless properities to see what channels its checking for first. It might not work, but it's worth a try.

BTW, what brand router are you using? The other threads here say that D-link has problems. Which is true, 'cause I have a D-link and have trouble connecting wirelessly.

Good luck,

Fightncomet
