The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Wireless connection disappears from Available list on iPAQ

Asked by vittoria2 in Wireless Technologies, Pocket PC Other, Windows Mobile (Pocket PC / Win CE) Operating Systems

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Mobile, 6.0, HP, iPAQ, 111

Hi - I have an HP iPAQ 111 with Windows Mobile 6.0 which bought a few weeks ago.

I have a Linksys WCG200 Wireless Cable Gateway which is secured using a 25-digit key and I do not broadcast the SSID.

Maybe once a day or so my home wireless network disappears from the iPAQ list of Available Networks, instead just showing two unsecured networks from neighbors who are broadcasting their SSID. When the problem is going to occur I'll often get a balloon message saying something about the Network Key being wrong with a place to enter a key in. Once I go to the Wireless Settings area I'll briefly see the home connection and then it usuallly disappears. I was able to catch it twice before the "disappearing" stage and saw that the Key setting had changed by itself from being manually entered in by myself to having a checkmark next to Automatically Provided.

When this happens I've been adding the network info in again by clicking New...entering in the SSID and the key. After that it will work great until it happens the next time.

It only happens when turning the iPAQ on and it tries to make the WLAN connection, not during use. (It does not happen at every turn-on, as it's on and off frequently all day.)

My desktop PC is connected via wired ethernet and does not use the wireless, but I've checked our laptop and the home connection has never disappeared from the list even if it has not been accessed in some time.

I've rebooted the router when it's happened but this has not helped.

1. Why is the Key setting changing itself to Automatic instead of the one I provide manually?
2. Why does the home network disappear entirely?
3. Is there any way I can NOT see the neighbors unsecured networks as Available on my list?

Thank you-
Vickie
