802.11 n WIFI connecting issue


Recommended Posts

The Liquid Metal supports the 802.11 b/g/n. But I found it cannot connect to the WIFI stably, if the router set to "n" (only, not b/g/n mixed mode). It cannnot keep the connection more than 1 minute.

Does anyone found the same problem? Or any good solution? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Vache and dieghito.

There are more informaiton: maybe it's not about wifi n, just because the wifi used secured with 802.1x EAP2/EAP-MSCHAP-v2.

yes, same problem for me.

this is g/n mode issue (probably bug in old ar6000 wifi driver). to fix this issue, follow the steps below (for rooted device):

- adb remount rw;

- adb shell;

- vi /system/bin/wlan_tool;

in vi, press 'i' key for editor mode;

- uncomment WMODE="bg" line (line 11 in file);

- press 'Esc';

- then press ':';

- then press 'wq';

- then press 'Enter';

or adb pull /system/bin/wlan_tool, edit, then adb push back to device.

- reboot phone.

enjoy.

can you show dmesg from device ?

command: adb shell dmesg

What is the interest to change this setting?

in fact, no changes are helping to solve the problem completely.

past 2 days I'm trying to solve this problem by adjusting the parameters of the module or using wmitool without any stable results. sometime it works, sometime not.

it seems that the problem can not be solved with current ar6003 driver for acer 2.6.29 kernel.

Updated drivers from 1.100.99 bin, i check wlan_tool and wmiconfig too, they are identical, so i just included wifi driver.

Hi Alex, thanks so much.

Sorry, I cannot show the dmesg this moment, because I found other problem in my phone, alredy sent to Acer servcie to repair. Will update you if it's done.

same problem with this driver. wifi on, connected, and wifi indicator always show that wifi connection is ok, but in fact network is dead.

see dmesg parts below:

wifi on - http://pastebin.com/v6Tu9PXz

turn off wifi - http://pastebin.com/FGicZWAN

so, this is a bug in wpa_supplicant.

using wpa_supplitsant, phone connects to the AP and lose connection after a few seconds.

using wmiconfig works fine (except wifi indicator).

i wrote simple script for wmiconfig. see example below:

#!/system/bin/sh -x

SSID=""

PASSPHRASE=""

CIPHER=""

rmmod ar6000

insmod /system/wifi/ar6000.ko

if [ "$?" != 0 ] ; then exit 1 ; fi

sleep 3

false

while [ "$?" != 0 ]

do

wmiconfig -i wlan0 --connect $SSID --wpa 2 $CIPHER $CIPHER $PASSPHRASE

sleep 5

ip link set wlan0 up

sleep 2

ip link show wlan0 | grep -qo 'state UP'

done

dhcpcd wlan0

for i in $(seq 1 4)

do

setprop net.dns${i} $(getprop dhcp.wlan0.dns{i})

done

setprop net.dnschange 1

setprop init.svc.wpa_supplicant running

setprop wlan.driver.status ok

no.

I have flashed the latest rom (1.100.36.AAP.GEN2), but this issue still is outstanding.

i also have problem connecting to eduroam, i think it must be due to this issue.

did anyone try with 2.3 bin?

Same question. Anyone had a try?

The funny thing is I had to disable wifi-n mode of my router because of the iPad being unable to keep a stable connection (where my Liquid MT does not have any problem : mixed mode b/g/n...)

i still have this problem in gingernouray 1.1, which is strange since this is supposed to be fixed on android 2.3
