First, let me say I took a look at the Wifi tutorial as well as did multiple searches with no success. Second, I fully blame my wife for the current issues :) because 6 months ago when I gave my X50 to her, Wifi in the house was working fine.
Bascially, I can no longer connect to my home's wireless router. I am able to connect with my laptop and my HTC 6800 pda/phone, but no longer the X50. My wife says that she can cannot at work and at her college via WiFi so apparently it is working some places.
When I turn on WiFi it appears to establish a connection. I see my linksys and it says the signal is good. However, under the "config" tab the signal quality says no signal. I recall this problem happening a couple years ago when I got the X50 but I don't recall how I fixed it or whether it has fixed itself.
Does anyone else ever run into a similar problem and know of a fix?
I have to occasionally go into settings & manually delete all the wifi connection settings I have connected to while outside the house. Then it works again.
yes, according to my wife she can access the internet via WiFi elsewhere. I haven't used the Axim in a while and notice that it is still running the AO3 Rom so I'm going to upload the AO5 Rom (which appears to be the latest) and go from there. Maybe after that it will work.
Not a problem with my router. A setting on the X50v must have been incorrect. Since I was still using the AO3 Rom, I uploaded the AO5 Rom and it works fine again.
I had a problem with dropping wifi connection after a hard reset - after switching WiFi it would turn on and then it seemed like it was loosing signal every 1 - 2 seconds. I think that happened only when WPA-PSK encryption was on.
I tried reimaging the device but the problem reappeared. Then I was trying to enter the Diagnostic Mode unsuccessfully and had some memory errors as well as loading windows took ages (the progress bar under Dell logo was getting stuck about 1/10 before the end). Finally the problem magically dissapeared after reverting to WM2003SE and then upgrading to WM5.0 again (but I am not sure if it has anything to do with actual solving the problem).
I was wondering what the reason could be for the dropping WiFi connection. I had a thought that maybe the WiFi module stores some settings that are not reset on hard reset or even while reimaging the device, so once they are changed by some error, it is very difficult to revert them to their proper setup. In my case hard reset and reimaging the device did not help. Only after the memory errors did the problem dissapear. Possibly ONLY after some hardware problems will Axim reinitialize its hardware modules?
A surprising bit is that I had no problems with WPA after upgrading to WM6.0 and I had read that a lot of people could not get it to work. Only at uni where I use LEAP authentication I tent to need to send my login and password quite a few times before it authenticates successfully.
A frequent cause of the dropped connections is the PowerSave feature. These tend to work well only between identical manufacturer's equipment (a Linksys WiFi adapter with a Linksys Router; a Netgear adapter with a Netgear router; etc).
