Searched and searched, Has anyone had an issue with using the wlan SD8686 with WPA?
I can connect with no security and with WEP and I am able to browse the web.
I can still connect to the router using any of the WPA but can not get any pages to load in IE only works with wep or no security. 3 other laptops work fine.
Any idea? HTC Tech support no help.

I can't answer.. but that reminds me the WPA issue that I have with the HTC Touch ..... my Touch is unable to use any WPA ... when connected the touch just freeze .. and I have to soft-reset and hope to the Wireless not connecting before being connected before disabling the Wireless.
it seems that WPA or the wireless chip is really bad ... but don't know which one !
Shift works fine with WPA I am currently using TKIP+AES
I have had nothing but issues with my Shift and Belking N Router using WEP...
Sometimes it would connect, the majority of the time the shift couldn't see the network and it did connect it would lose connection. I tried it with WEP and also with no security and also with MAC address authentication only. Every 50 times I tried to connect, it would connect maybe once.
So, decided to use my old standard 54g Belking router. Guess what, no issue so far with no security applied. Was planning to try it with WEP later....

I live in US and unit was from UK think this could be a problem with WPA?
I have no problem with NO security and NO problem with WEP only with any type of WPA. Also searching the net, seems like the wirerless chip in the SHIFT not a very good track record, lots of driver issues

Can you tell me what the Driver VER No is on your shift tfor the network card?
My unit has the Marvell SD-8686
Wifi
I had problems, sometimes the shift could not find my network, sometimes it woeked.
after setting my dlink dir655 router in b/g moder rather than b/g/draft n mode all has worked so far.
ok guys i use linksys running open source dd-wrt v23 sp2 firmware; works great; i must admit i have not used the shift on other wifi network routers....
No connection
Hi,
maybe someone can help. Since yesterday I belong tot he proud owners. But, but, I can’t get a connection to the internet over my WLAN router.
Router Netgear WPNT834. Whatever I did no luck: either I get the message: limited connectivity or only local Zugriff connection something like that.
No problem with XP notebooks, but with Shift and Vista.
Has anyone an idea what causes the problem? Is it the router?
Do you know any router you can recommend: strong signal and reliability?
Thanks

No issue with WPA here
Hi Settembrini,
So you got your Shift from Amazon.de at the same time as they delivered mine after all
Regarding the WiFi connection to the router, it seems to be some routers / chipsets.
I am also using WPA (with a Siemens SX550i router) and it worked without any problems. The Shift detected an encrypted network with hidden SSID and after I entered the SSID and the encryption password it connected immediately and with a stable connection.
WLAN access
Hi mw65719
yes, more or less same time.
So what is the conclusion? It is my Netgear router WPNT834, why I do not get a connection? Need for a new router it seems!
Thanks!

Yes same here, I just bought the new Belkin N1 Vision router and all other equipment works but the Shift can't even see the the router. I just hooked a netgear router in series with the belkin and the Shift can now see the Netgear..... Was worried for a bit there.... Really annoyed about the shift not being able to see the belkin, the Belkin wasn't cheap.
Hi,
I was not able to establish a connection to my Netgear router WPNT834, then I tried the Speedport 700 V and it worked without any problems, no special settings in Vista neccessary.
I guess you have a different Netgear router than mine.

I have a D-Link DIR655 as main WiFi and LAN router. At the other end of the house I have Belkin N+ in Access Point mode hardwired to DIR655.
Android just few feets away from Belkin connects to Dlink.
Other computers have no problems connecting to Belkin and seamless switching to Dlink as I walk thorugh the house.
Any sugestions?

My G2 connects to my home wireless network which is wireless n, with no problems. Might you have a MAC filter on your router that needs to be updated with the MAC address of the phone?
I have no issues with using N on my G2, using a Netgear WNR2000v2 as my router.

im a network admin, so the obvious has already been tried. if mac filtering was enabled, that would prevent from getting an ip address, not from seeing the ssid
N connection is great on my D-Link DIR-655.

i dont understand why it wont even detect the network. did you guys have to change a setting on the phone for wifi? my laptop doesnt have any problems, im using it now as we speak.
The wireless N on the phone is only 2.4GHz. It won't connect to a 5GHz network.

i was just coming back to post that. my dual band router has been flashed with ddwrt and the 2.4 frequency is repeating my neighbors 2.4 ghz wifi. so the only open frequency for me to connect to on this router is the 5.4, so i plugged a linksys poe ap into a poe switch and now my phone is connected to an n network thats 2.4 ghz. ya...
Hi, just got a MOTO XOOM and i have set up my wifi network. I currently have a extender connected to my router wirelessly and I am having problems connecting. I can connect directly to my router ( which is upstairs) but I cant get the XOOM to connect to the router ( which is downstairs) . I do currently have my laptop connected thru the extender, and it works great. ANyone else have any connection issues with a extender. This seems to extend out to more then the XOOM cause i have a Vizio tablet and same thing, it shows the extender when it searches for WIFI but it wont connect, just says obtaining IP then connects directly to the Router. Please any info would help. thanks
I have tried connecting my tablet to a wirless N connection but it doesnt pick it up. Anybody have this problem or know how to connect to a wireless N connection on the tablet?

I haven't tried it, but I believe it'll only work if the Wireless N Network is the 2.4GHz mode. The specs for the TPT say it is compatible with b/g/n, since a isn't supported the 5GHz spectrum cannot be supported.
If your router is simultaneous dual-band, meaning, it can transmit a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz network at the same time then you shouldn't have any issues. If the router is only dual-band and not simultaneous then you'll have to fall back on the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Hope this helps.
Oh, ok. The router was transmitting in 5ghz; changing it to 2.4 worked.Thanks
