AP Wireless Network issue with MC9060

You may experience random connectivity issues when you connect a Windows-based mobile PC to certain Wi-Fi "hot spots." These connectivity issues include the following:

• The wireless network connection is dropped.
• You experience poor performance.

You experience these issues if the computer is running on battery power.

Note You may also experience these issues when you connect a Windows-based mobile PC to a wireless access point (AP) in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment or in an enterprise environment. Cause This issue occurs if the Wi-Fi hot spot uses wireless APs or routers that do not support the 802.11 power save protocol.

This issue occurs because of the power saving features that are included in Windows. The default power plan that Windows uses for a mobile PC is the Balanced power plan. The following is true for mobile PCs that are configured to use the Balanced power plan:

• When the mobile PC is plugged into a power source, the wireless network adapter is configured to use Maximum Performance mode. This turns off 802.11 power save mode.
• When the mobile PC is running on battery power, the wireless network adapter is configured to use Medium Power Saving mode. This uses the 802.11 power save mode.

When an 802.11 wireless network adapter that is set to use power save mode wants to enter a sleep state, the adapter indicates this intention to the wireless AP. The adapter does this by setting the power save option in its packets or in the 802.11 frames that it sends to the wireless AP. In this scenario, the following behavior should occur:

1. When the wireless AP receives the frames that have the power save option set, the wireless AP determines that the client network adapter that sent the frames wants to enter a power saving state.
2. The wireless AP then buffers packets that are destined for the client network adapter.
3. When the radio of the client network adapter turns on, the client network adapter then communicates with the AP to retrieve the buffered packets.

This behavior enables the wireless network adapter to use less power and to wake up periodically at the correct time to receive network traffic from the AP.

If the wireless AP does not support this feature correctly, the wireless AP continues to send packets to the client network adapter even if the client network adapter radio is turned off. Therefore, these packets are lost. In this scenario, the symptoms that you experience may vary depending on the phase of the wireless connection in which these packets are lost.

Possibly, It all depends upon the chipset and hardware. I would check out dd-wrt.com they have many guides and good user forums that may help you. the dd-wrt is an open source firmware that if applicable worked great for me on some rather shoddy OEM devices.

Are you trying to connect to a wireless network ?
If so when asked for a password to authenticate yourself, you will need the correct password, otherwise authentication will fail and it will be impossible for you to connect to the network. That's without using the correct password of course. If you are the administrator of your network.
Connect to the router's or Wireless AP interface, there will be an IP address associated with the device (check the owners manual for the address) and type this into your browser to access the Web GUI, no from here you will have to find the wireless settings and make sure that WPA2 security is enabled and that the password you create fits the criteria that it asks.

Once you have done this go back to the computer you where originally trying to connect with and use the password that you just configured when it asks you.

If you are still unsure please ask me.

Incase Open networks are configured for MAC authentication(MAC binding) then you might not be able to connect to those networks. Even though Network is Open (Unsecured), if ACL (Access Control List) is enabled on the network then only those computers can connect whose MAC address is configured for that Network, its another Security feature on Routers.

Try connecting to some network which your are sure are Open (Unsecured)

Hello,
1.Install your wireless network adapter in Windows XP with SP2. This process includes installing the proper drivers for your wireless network adapter so it appears as a wireless connection in Network Connections.

2.When the computer is within range of the wireless AP operating in your home or small business, Windows XP should detect it and prompt you with a Wireless networks detected message in the notification area of your taskbar.

3. Click the notification message. If you are not notified, right-click the wireless network adapter in Network Connections and click View Available Wireless Networks. In either case, you should see a dialog box with the name of the wireless connection.

4 Double-click your wireless network name. Windows XP will attempt to connect to your wireless network.

5.Because Windows XP has not been configured with the WEP encryption key for your wireless network, the connection attempt will fail and Windows XP will prompt you with a Wireless Network Connection dialog box. Type the WEP key in Network key and Confirm network key, and then click Connect.

6.If the status message for your wireless network in the Wireless Network Connection dialog box is Connected, you are done. If the status message for your wireless network in the Wireless Network Connection dialog box is Authentication did not succeed, click Change the order of preferred networks in the list of Related tasks. From the Wireless Networks tab of properties of your wireless network adapter, click the name of your wireless network in Preferred networks, and then click Properties.

7.In Network Authentication, click Open. In Data encryption, click WEP. In Network key and Confirm network key, type the WEP encryption key as configured on the wireless AP.

8.In Key index, select the key index corresponding to the encryption key memory position as configured on the wireless AP.

9.Click OK to save changes to the wireless network.

FOR WIFI
First, you should get wireless internet on your computer (thorugh a router) or get a Wi-fi USB (they're discontinued, so look hard if you want one)

Now you can either watch this video, follow this link or simply have a look at my steps:

Good luck!

This is a massive and expensive network, which appears to require a full signal and configuration audit. It's quite possible that many of your problems are stemming from the APs you have already deployed being situated in suboptimal and conflicting locations, which is an issue with three-dimensional wireless networks.
I really don't see your problems being debugged by anyone short of an experienced on-site wireless network technician. I'm saying this as a person who tuns a one-man company serving two rural communities with wireless internet service.
Sorry.

Yeah, they confirmed that they have some problem on some wifi authentication especially when your AP is configured to WPA-PSK (TKIP or AES).

you can only connect wifi with open, shared, WEP 64 and 128bit authentication and WPA/WPA2. Samsung still dont have any solution to this big issue. Been a lot lately to customer service in plaza sing, talked to the manager a lot with this problem,
still NO SOLUTION. You can't even have a full refund, no change model.

1. Hard wire your pc to the router/modem using ethernet cord / cat 5 cable or use usb storage to download the driver to this link

2. Install the driver/software by executing the file.

then follow this:

SymptomNot able to go online only with the wireless connection.
ResolutionTo address the problem, use the following steps:

1. On the Belkin Wireless monitor utility click on the tab AP List .
2. Select the encrypted network that you wish to join. Click Connect.
3. This will take you to the New Profile page . Enter a Profile Name .
4. On the next page, you will see the network name, the network type and the transmit rate. Click Next.
5. This will take you to the page that will ask you to select the Authentication Mode. This will be OFF by default. Select Open System or Shared Key depending on the network.
6. Then select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption depending on the configuration on the Router/AP. Click Next.
7. On the next page, select Input Method , which will be Hexadecimal (0-9,A-F) or Passphrase.
8. Select the key index and enter the keys or the passphrase depending on the configuration on the router/AP. Click Complete.

CauseYou are not able to connect to a secured wireless network because the router/AP (what is this?) is encrypted.
SummaryWireless networks by their very nature are not secure because data is transmitted across open (i.e., air) media. This allows unintended “listeners” to receive the data. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is used in a wireless network to secure the signals and hence the data.

Configuration using a wireless computer.

1. If your computer has wireless capability, you will need to change the wireless settings of your computer to Ad-hoc mode so you can directly connect and configure the printer.
2. Wireless network terms and concepts
   When you configure the wireless network printer, you must ensure that your wireless network printer is
   configured to match the settings of the existing wireless network. This section provides some of the main
   terms and concepts of these settings, which may be helpful when you configure the wireless network printer.
   SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels
   You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.
   SSID
   Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID or ESSID
   (Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point.
   The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point.
   The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as a beacon)
   which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the
   wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.
   Channels
   Wireless networks use channels. Each wireless channel is on a different frequency. There are up to 14 different channels that can be used when using a wireless network. However, in many countries the number of channels available are restricted. For further information, see Ethernet wireless network on page 165.
   Authentication and encryption Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the
   network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless device, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when configuring these options. Please refer to the information below to see which authentication and encryption methods your Brother wireless device supports.
   Authentication methods
   The Brother printer supports the following methods:
   
   • Open system
   Wireless devices are allowed access the network without any authentication.
   
   • Shared key
   A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.
   The Brother printer uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
3. I will advise you download this network manual and follow the instructions on chapters 3 and 4.
4. Network Users Manual - English

open its program and check to see if it in AP mode, make sure it is in AP mode and the radio is turned on, clear any radio off button. go to the configuration and set up a wireless network, try first with a secureless network,

then when everything works, go for a WPA secure connection
