WiFi wake from sleep sorted with WEP?

[Guest DrEzkimo]

hi,

Was sent out a new router by o2 as the line was dropping and had to replace my old netgear router in the short term for line diagnostics or something. One thing I noticed is that the wifi would have no issues when coming out of sleep. Before I had to use the blade wifi fix and would get the little message before it reconnected and now it just stays on when i come out of sleep. The o2 router is only use WEP encryption though as setup by default.

The old router was using WPA and not WEP so has anyone else found that WEP works or is it just coincidence?

I use WEP and experience the wifi drop out so it must be a coincidence.

hmm odd ;) what router do you use if you dont mine me asking?

[Guest duncw]

I'll have to check the exact model number when I get home but its a Belkin wireless g with built in ADSL modem. I also use the blade fix. The wireless network at work uses WEP also and I lose connection there as well.

just in case it's any use try wifi fixer from the market, it doesn't fix the connection on sleep issue but may help with getting re-connected afterwards

I hope those of you who are using WEP are aware that it can be cracked in about 15 minutes without fail!

Unfortunately if you support Nintendo DS's on your wireless network then WEP is the only way (WPA not supported in any form).

Can lock down MAC addresses but that's about as secure as it gets...

Does the Froyo kernal fix reconnection to out of range access points? Mine won't reconnect unless WiFi is toggled on/off.
