Default 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.

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.

You shouldn't have 2 routers, remove the old one and use the new
wireless router only.

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,
