WMWifirouter loses connection

notinkeys · #1 (**permalink**) 06-21-2010, 10:37 AM

I have a Sprint TP2, using the newer stock ROM, and the latest WMWifirouter (2.00). I had been using it just fine for a short while here at work until last Thursday, when suddenly after 5 to 10 minutes, I lose the internet connection. The phone truly does lose the connection- I cannot even pull up anything in the browser, which I could before.

I don't know if, perhaps, another wireless router is conflicting with the channel the TP2 uses or if it is something else. I've checked to make sure it has been set to full power, and it is literally only inches away from the netbook I connect with.

I can still connect to the net using PDAnet and plugging my cell into my netbook, but it is slower and prone to dropping out.

Suggestions?

Thanks, all.

Thanks, Darren. BTW, love the avatar. LOL

I think I'm getting interference, perhaps. A coworker also tried it on his phone and had trouble a couple of days before I did. I used it for a while with no trouble, so I'm not sure what is going on.

I gave up on that app kills the battery in less then a hour and never stays connected.

I don't have a problem with the connection staying functional anyplace but here at work. And since my phone is plugged into the charger, the battery stays charged fine.

I ran it at home last night for a good while without losing the connection, so whatever the issue is, it is in this location. I'm right next to a window, and the signal strength is excellent- full bars.

Go figure. Today? Two and a half hours and not a single belch.

Is there a way to set which channel this uses? Or do I need to write the support folks? I looked but didn't find anything, but when you're distracted by actual work issues it's easy to miss something.

I'm assuming that you are referencing the home screen; those bars are for your Phone signal.

In one of my locations I have access to a Sprint Air Rave (which only boosts the CDMA/phone signal) which gives me all bars, but the data signal can flip flop between EV, 1X and squat.

LGC. the signal strength is good here; I must be very close to a tower. It never flickers from EV to 1X. Even when I was having trouble using the browser, it remained EV.

And yes, I know the bars were for phone signal, but you couldn't be sure if I was a n00b or not.

As I mentioned I am right next to a window, looking out into a beautiful industrial park. Ah... the thrill of warehouses and delivery truck centers...
