Need WiFi help

[zeravla531]

Not sure if anyone would know the problem, but my WiFi will work for about 2 seconds then stop. My laptop and computers never have a problem, only my Hero.

I have since factory reset the phone, and now wiped and rooted it and i still have the same issue.

Know what it can be?

It's a WPA-Personal WiFi

My Wifi also kicks in and out, its just the Hero being a Hero. Try downloading an app called Static Wi-Fi. It will automatically run itself when you enable the wi-fi and help keep the signal up.

There is also a wifi bug with the Hero depending on your router. I don't know if that was ever fixed. I don't use wifi, so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

It depends on our router. I have a linksys N with no problems but a friend of mine had this problem. He did eventually fix it by using WEPA2 + AES for security.

You might be to far from the router.

Thank you guys for the help. I'll try tha app first, then maybe the WEPA2 + AES... I'm definitely not too far away though, i'm talking like 6 feet away.

before 2.1 on my Hero, the wifi sucked. It would rarely connect. I have no issues now, so I think a lot of it is software related. I was worried I had a bad wireless card on the phone, but wireless tether works perfectly, so it couldn't have been that.

So far so good with 2.1, hopefull it was as you said, software related.

what worked for me:

I changed the security setting on my Linksys Router to G only, and then from WPA2 Personal: TKIP/AES to WPA2 Personal: AES.

then I have to make sure my phone Screen Display (under settings) doesn't timeout while I'm using the wifi.

so when I know I want to use wifi I change the display setting to timeout in 10 minutes. Then turn on wifi. And I stay connected with no problems.

I have the wifi and Settings shortcuts on my homepage so it's not a big deal.
