Linksys and Smartphone
Besides the more obvious problems, there may be some that are not so
obvious. The HTC US versions of the HTC "smartphones" can have features that have been modified by the provider. Thes mods are generally done to eliminate features that the provider does not want to support, or wants additional money to support. The most common areas are Tethering, Limiting of Wi Fi access, Ringtone downloading, and types of usage reporting. We use "developer versions" of the HTC Dream (G1) that do not use provider furnished or modified ops systems, and thus are not subject to the provider software limitations. We can also modify the ops systems, and install applications from an "ordinary" P/C. The developer versions are limited availability, and have a price similar to an unsubsidized retail version. (Google HTC G1 developer version) There can also be problems with setting up security features between a router and a smartphone. My G1 works with either a D-Link or US Robotics router at home, and generally has no problem with "Wi Fi" sites that are open. We do use two routers, both provide wireless as well as ethernet, and use the same cable modem. It is important to setup the wireless routers so that the channels used do not cause a conflict. "David B." wrote in message ... You said, and I quote "I purchased a Cisco Linksys Wireless-N broadband Router and connected it between my DSL modem and the router". Anyone that reads this would conclude that you have 2 routers connected. If you can't provide accurate information we can't help you. -- ------ "Opa" wrote in message ... Read correctly. DSL MODEM. Is not a router. "David B." schreef in bericht ... You shouldn't have 2 routers, remove the old one and use the new wireless router only. -- ------ "Opa" wrote in message ... Hi all, I have purchased a htc touch pro which is working fine. However the G3 connection is poor, due to dutch provider KPN, and most of the time it switches to GPRS. To improve the internet connection to the mobile phone I use a usb cable from phone to PC. Again that works fine. Then I purchased a Cisco Linksys Wireless-N broadband Router and connected it between my DSL modem and the router like it says in the book. The phone now can 'see' the router and on the phone I connect to the router with name and password. The connection stays ON for a couple of seconds and then disconnects. Whatever protocol I select, no proper result. Does anyone knows what I do wrong or oversee. Regards, |
