HTC TyTN - WM6 and WiFi connectivity problems

[Guest tedp]

I'm running WM 6 on my HTC TyTN and using WiFi for email, chat and sufing the web. My problem is that the WiFi connection won't stay connected. At some point it the antenna icon will go empty and never reconnect. Wireless Lan reports that my WiFi network is unavailable. Checking with my laptop shows this to be untrue. This has occurred with multiple wireless networks (both secured and unsecured)

Things I have tried that didn't work

1. Using connection manager to turn the WiFi radio off and back on.

2. Rebooting my wireless router (a Linksys WRT54GS) in the case where it was my router. Not possible to test in all situations.

3. Moving my WLAN power setting to "best performance."

4. Powering down the TyTN and powering it back up.

5. Turning off the phone radio.

6. Disabling security on the wireless network.

What did work

1. Soft reset using the reset button.

2. Deleting the connection settings for my wireless network, powering down the TyTN and power it back up.

None of the things that did work are particularly palatable. And they have to be redone nearly every time I switch wireless networks or let the phone power down the wifi connection while in power save mode.

Any suggestions?

I have the very same problem, just that I am using WM5. When did this problem occured the first time for you? The wifi on my device was working fine but some days ago it went nuts. I am wondering if it is not some prog's fault I have installed...

I have had the same troubles using my new Kaiser. I can be sitting directly under a wireless station and while my lap top will show full bars the Kaiser is very iffy. Sometimes connecting and sometimes not. Somtimes connecting and then dropping out and not reconnecting. All the while the lap top is quite happily connected.

Very frustrating.
