Wierd WiFi problem, only one request possible

Hello, since some time now I'm experiencing a wierd wifi connection behavior:
When I connect over wifi to my accesspoint everything goes well. It connects right away.
Also when I open IE and go to any site. It does download and display the site normally. But that is where the problem begins. It does this only for the first request. After that, there is no communication over wifi possible anymore. I cannot click on a link or change to any other website anymore. I cannot download mail, even cannot Ping (with vxUtil).
Other scenario:
I connect, download my email, after it gets done downloading, again.. it does not work anymore, neighter IE, nor download email again.. it always keeps trying to connect but aborts after a minute or so.
To make it work again, I always have to disconnect, and connect again, it then works for another request. Then again disconnect- connect... and so on.
Kinda enoying!!
Another scenario:
vxUtil, make a ping and keep on pinging. Works fine until I interrupt the ping. When I then try to ping again, it only gets timeouts again.
The Wifi connection is well during all of this, no drops no anything. The reception is excellent... it doesn't matter if I'm right next to the AP or a little farther away.
I remember that I didn't have this problem with my original Qtek ROM, after I changed to the Dopod ROM, this appeared somehow. Now I just flashed that MobiWiz custom rom with AKU 2.3, hoping it would solve the problem. ... well, it didn't.
In my wireless Lan I use WEP encription with a 26char HEX key; auth: open (not shared key). Setup is with DHCP and static IP the same... tried both, no difference. I have two Linksys APs with the newest firmware on them. Doesn't work with neighter of them.
Well, I searched a long time for a solution, but didn't really know what to look for, there is many things that come up when I search for "wifi" or "connection" and "problem", so I'm sorry if already someone wrote about this, please just post me the toppic...
Thank you guys very much, hope someone can help me!
My ROM info:
ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.30.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.16
ExtRom version: 2.15 AKU2.3 PDAMobiz Edition

Try to play with the power mode of WiFi. It could help.

Found the Problem
OK, I guess I found the reason for the problem.
As I wrote, I have 2 Access Points, one acting as a Repeater. Well... I guess the Prophet didn't like his Packets to be repeated, might have gotten them twice (from the first and then from the second AP). Anyways, so as soon as I switched off the repeating one, it worked again.
Still... kinda wierd, because my Laptop doesn't have a problem with it.

having just had to set up my new network at home i was reading up on using a second unit as a repeater. It mentiond that you have to tell one of the access points (think it was the main unit) how many hops you have in the system. This is to prevent 'system loops' or something. Sorry im not massive on this sort of thing but sounds like your problem.
Mine is i set the system up, main puter, 3 laptops, xda mini s and xda2i. all worked, added mac filtering all fine, added WPA PSK with TKIP security. Main puter and 3 laptops work fine. Both the XDA's sit there saying network available or connecting. but they never connect.

Wifi isn't working after upgrade to WM6

Hi.. please forgive me, but I've been searching this forum for a couple hours, and tried everything I have read.. but my Wifi still doesn't work.
I have a Cingular 8125. It was running the factory WM5 yesterday, and my Wifi worked fine. (wifi is the main reason I got this phone).
I upgraded my ROM to the latest Hornet (wow, it is FAST - thanks!) and everything works great but the wifi.
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21
GSM: 2.13.11
OS: 11.0.4.0
I tried the Hard Reset method and the other tricks I found on here... i'm starting to think I might need to upgrade my IPL/SPL too? If I go back to WM5, will my wifi work again?
Thanks for any hints you can provide.

Always making things
Make it men! maybe it works for you but I can tell you that IPL and SPL dont change the WIFI performance maybe your wifi radio is dead...
if you want to upgrade your ipl and spl try the Aku 3.08 for wizard and download that rom search exactly with that words on thi web... but remember its only for G3 (G4has too much issues and bricked problems)
post your results... and remember unlock upgrade and downgrade are recomended in XP, flash with your batt full charged and please downgrade to an original first before upgrade a coock ROM.

I don't want to try upgrading the IPL/SPL.... if I can't get my Wifi to connect under WM6, then I will go back to WM5.
My wifi radio isn't dead - it connects to my home wireless router and gets an IP address... but I can't call up any web pages using Explorer or Opera. However, web pages come up fine using EDGE/GPRS (I have AT&T). It's almost like the WM6 isn't configured right, to let Explorer know that it can use the Wifi (when wifi is connected).
thanks

Does you have the conection set?
Maybe on conections you have set all the ports edge gprs and others to let the IE in from that ports... maybe you can conect via wifi changing the advanced conections setting to not use proxy server or change from the first option from My ISP to My work network... i did it once and it works!

OK, I have a little bit more information.
The Wifi connection *IS* connecting me to the Internet, for about 15 seconds after it starts up. Using PING, I can ping the IP address of my Wizard for about 15 seconds, before the replies cease. I can also start up the Wizards Internet Explorer and call up a web page or two, before it stops working.
So, I can turn off Wifi, and turn it back on, and surf the internet for about 10-15 seconds at a time.
Does anyone know of a registry setting or something that is controlling this? Why doesn't my Wifi connection stay "active"?
Again, this issue is occuring with the latest "Hornet 5" ROM which I downloaded on Friday.
Thanks

Well.... today I went to a sports bar to watch the NFL. I turned on my wifi, and guess what? It worked perfectly. I stayed in touch with my friends via instant messaging for the entire game, no problems.
So... My wifi still doesn't work from home (it was working fine last Friday), but since I really don't "need" it to work from home, I guess I can live with things the way they are. I will spend a little more time troubleshooting my home network, but for now let's just say this is "case closed".
Thanks!

OK, one more entry, just to perhaps help anyone else who might be having this problem.
Still perplexed about why my Wizard's Wifi would not connect to my home network, I went out to my back porch and scanned for other networks in my neighborhood. My Wizard found 3 or 4. After 10 minutes of this, I came back inside and tried to connect to my own home network again.... IT WORKED!
I suspect that there is some flag or registry setting that is set by WM6 and/or ActiveSync during the re-flash process.... WM6 must initially set this flag to something like "this network can only connect via ActiveSync". After I scanned a bunch of wifi networks, at some point this flag got reset and WM6 let me connect to my home network via wifi.

HTC WIFI Problem resolution..........

I have searched a lot on this forum and have not found any solution to the wifi problem on HTC diamond....I am sure there are experts in this forum who have worked around their way and I would request them to post their comments as to how they have got their WIFI talking on HTC Diamond...........
I am trying connecting to my home wireless network. It finds the network but unable to connect to it. Any help please? Has anyone managed to get it connected to any Wifi? I ahve already set the power management to "best performace...no succes.......
(My laptop and O2 stealth does get connected to the same network and it an open wifi connection)...........PLZ Help.....

There is no wifi problem on the Diamond. it works fine for on every ROM I have used.
It sounds like you haven't set the access key in your Diamond.

Please do have a problem and that the reason there are so many view on this thread in just 30 minutes....
thanking you in advance for your help........

i've never known any problems, have u flashed a cooked ROM or changed the Radio?
if so, i would try going back to stock and see if it works then, if not, send it back as faulty.

I'm not aware of any 'known issue' with the WiFi on the Diamond either, certainly mine and my girlfriend's both work fine in this respect. If you've never successfully connected to any wireless network then you've got a hardware issue; send your phone back to be repaired and stop wasting time looking for a software solution would be my advice.

wifi,,,
Glad that a lot of users doesn't had problem with the wifi, but it's an iminent malfunction, and looks to be a hardware problems...
I had change my rom and radios a lot, and the issues are the same:
Opened the comm manager or the settings-connection-wifi, turn on the wifi, and it's turn off again...
In my case, often worked properly after soft reset, and i often connect with 3g or gprs, but...it's a suck!!!

Step by step......connecting to wifi....

Would you please step by step elaborate ....connecting to an open wifi network......will be really greatful........

if your diamond is not connecting to your router there is some posibilities. Are you at home or work, at work on the AP you can have security setings and MAC filtering. At home if you have not implement security and mac filtering you can be to far of your router, You must be between -60 and -80 Db max and at -80 it is easyer with a MIMO router, etc...

Got the same problem as you
this is how i fixed mine.
1) I download a radio rom thing and install it
2) restart the device and the wifi is working perfectly.
No problems at all!

Got the same problem as you
I download a radio rom and install it but still turn off again

WIFI doesn't work, ask for help

Hi, my 8525 suddenly can't use WIFI. It do show the icon on top of screen indicating that I am connected to a hot spot. But when I open IE, I can't open any web page. I can do it hours ago, and that time I visit gmail.com, download its application to MIDlet and then use WIFI to check my mail box. Also I visit Ebuddy.com and download and setup its application.Both of them run okay. But when I turn on the phone tonight. WIFI doesn't work well. IE just keeps locating... and gives no response for a long time and finally tells me "The Page cannot be displayed or download because the connection was lost." I want to know what happens and what I can do to solve this problem.
In addition: Now I unlock both SIM and Supper CID using this webpage's guide:
http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/2008/08/how-to-unlock-your-htc-tytn-aka-hermes/
But I don't know how to check whether I already have unlocked Super CID? I try a T-Mobile SIM and it works well. So at least it is SIM Unlocked now.

often it's enough just to pull the plug from the wifi router for 10sec
happens with all wifi routers think it's their dhcp which get confused but mobile device
because I dont get the same problem with laptops and desktops connecting with wifi
another thing which could fix it would be the update the router with the latests firmware
as they fix bugs with newer wifi devices once in awhile and then release new firmware for their routers

Thanks Rudegar, I solved this problem last night. The problem is caused by an application I use on my phone. China Mobile Fetion. Since China is a country forbid the WIFI function on phones officially sold there, some software application from Chinese companies and programmers set GPRS as their default connection method, and I mistakenly choose let this software setting the connection function automatically and it just adjust all program's default connection as CM GPRS. After delete all GPRS settings on phone, the WIFI works well.

Strange Marketplace problem

Non branded hd2 on stock wwe 1.66 rom on t-mobiles network. For some strange reason I can connect to Marketplace via t-mobile but not through my home wifi, on wifi it says unable to connect to server, pls check your connection (the that it has encountered a serious problem), but my connection is fine as I can surf via wifi no problem. I uninstalled marketplace, soft reset, reinstalled, still ith problem persists, anyone else have this?

BUMP

some mobile programs require a cellular data connection to work properly. I'm guessing marketplace is one of them.
On second thought, looks like I can access Microsoft Marketplace on wifi. Are you sure that your wifi is working and doesn't require going through an approval process? (Some wifi's have a home page that you have to agree to terms on before you can access)

I had the same problem with Active sync with a cable I could surf the internet but couldn’t access market place downloads (Marketplace could not cannot connect to a server) so I disconnected and just connected to the modem Wi-Fi and no problem with Market Place all downloaded.
Strange

Had this issue myself with T-Mobile,
After months of searching it would appear that the problem was that Marketplace requries and authentication code and at some point when using the phone this was switched off.
From what I read the person didnt know how to change it within the phone but could view that it was turned off, they put on a new ROM and Marketplace flew into action.
I followed this and also slapped on a new ROM..... has worked for me and am using Marketplace to the best of its abilities.
Basic answer....flash a new ROM!
