Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / February 2005Problems with iPAQ hx4705 and Linksys wireless network
I just bought the iPAQ, and it connects fine with CompUSA's in-store wireless network. When I try to connect to mine at home (Linksys BEFW11S4 ver. 3), the iPAQ shows the linksys available, but I can't connect to it. My wireless home network is working with the other devices (Linksys WGA11B Wireless game Adapter and Linksys WET11 Bridge Adapter). Anyone got a clue whats going on here? I updated the Linksys router to the latest firmware also. My guess is that you have wrongly defined the WEP key in the IPAQ, or have forgotten to define the IPAQ's MAC address in MAC address filter (in case you use it). Try disabling all security in your network and see if you connect. If you do, re-enable the security settings one by one. At the moment it looses the network, you have found the setting that is creating the problem.

I don't have WEP turned on, nor do I have MAC Address filter on. Both are off. In fact, I have all security in the network turnrd off. Driving to work this morning, I ran WiFiFoFum on the iPAQ, and I found 100+ networks, several of which had a strong enough signal that it asked if I wanted to connect. > My guess is that you have wrongly defined the WEP key in the IPAQ, or have > forgotten to define the IPAQ's MAC address in MAC address filter (in case [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > whats going on here?

There was just somethhing flaky about the BEFW11S4 that didn't like my hx4705. > I don't have WEP turned on, nor do I have MAC Address filter on. Both > are off.
