I heard that you can access you Linksys router using your phone as long as you are connected to you wireless network and have web access. I have been unable to get this to work... Any ideas anyone?
Same way you would for anything, has nothing to do with the Tilt... If you're doing it from the internet, you have to turn on something which is likely called "Remote Administration" or something similar and access your internet IP address in a browser.
From the wireless network itself, just go to the router's IP address in your browser.
if you are at home and connected to your router via wi-fi just open your browser and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (usually the default address for linksys router, otherwise look up correct address for your model). you will be prompted for user ID and password default admin:admin. this is the same way you access your router from your PC. it is also possible to access your wireless router at home when you are away by just using media net (or whoever your carrier is' data connection.) just like khaytsus says, you need to first turn on remote access while connected to your router from home.
Hi this is my first time on a site and I just wonder if anybody can solve my problem!
I,ve read a few posts and set my xda llI so that in connections my network card connects to work!Also have done all the rest and set it to internet just in case as well
My Isp in connections window is on the advanced tab and select networks on the network Management is set to My Isp.
my Wirles Lan Manager is status connected to network
My ssid is the one that all the house computors are set to,my mode is Infratructure and Tx is Auto.My channel is 6
my bssid is 00-18-2D etc etc.
My Mac is 00-09- etc ,etc.
My IP.169.254.168.73
signal quality is good
I,ve been onto the 192.168.0.1 website and added the mac address of the xda lli but when I try to get the internet on the xdalli to connect it justs says default page. I cannot seem to connect. is this normal or do I have to go through O2 to pay for another internet connection besides my home address one.Have I missed something out!Help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Hi,
Your IP of 169.x.x.x means that you are trying to use DHCP to get an ip address but haven't been supplied one by your router..
The ip addres of your router is 192.168.0.1, so it may be sensible to setup your router to allow a dynamic address range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.110 (say) - when anyone tries to connect using a dynamic address (using dhcp), they'll be given an address in this range.
So, initially check if DHCP is enabled.
Do you have a laptop that connects using a dynamic ip address (ie not static - ie not implicitly defined) - if so then DHCP _is_ already working and there's another problem.
If this is the case, I'd initially disable any kind of mac-filtering or security until you get a simple connection going..
Sorry, if this isn't too clear - I'm tired - what router are you using?
Kev
First hand it can depend on your router
I have had problems connecting with Virgin broadband routers for instance.
Have you tried connecting elsewhere?
Also what type of security do you have on your router?
One more thing to try
Check under the "Network Cards" settings when disconnected and select "the internet" from the drop down menu.
Hope this helps
clearing the way so that I understand correctly!

My router is a netgear dg834GT.I,ve looked at the range and the range for 192.168.0.1 actually goes from 192.168.0.2 upto 192.168.0.254 so the range should be there. how would I know if the router is DHCP, is there a way of seeing this? The filter would be set up where for the mac address?Is there a way of changing the isp on the phone so that its range is within the 192.168.0.1 range?the only security that I have is the routers own and the avg antivirus.would disabling the avg help!
thanks for your response!

thanks for replying ,my router is a netgear and the security is a wep key which I have disabled and i also tried the drop down menu "the internet" but still nothing! how would I find out on the phone what ethernet card it is running so that I can connect to that .

If you haven't set up mac filtering, then it won't be a problem.. if you have, then there should be an option to disable/remove any you've input - build security up from a working setup.
Have you (can you borrow) a laptop that you can setup wireless with a dynamic ip address and check that connects; if that's okay then the router is setup correctly.
So I the Alpine comes up with "connected to network" but the ip address is 169.x.x.x ..
This means that the Alpine has not been allocated a usable ip-address by the router for some reason and you'll get nowhere until this happens.
Your other PCs.. are they set to dynamic ip addresses - I guess so as you have no room for static addresses. You should probably check they're all dynamic as if (say) you've allocated a static ip address of 192.168.0.2 to one of them and then DHCP tries auto-allocating addresses, I guess there could be a conflict (don't know how clever dhcp is). Usually I would set the DHCP range to 192.168.0.100 -> 192.168.0.200 (allowing 100 different dynamic addresses).
Have you checked that authentication is set top 'Open' and Data Encryption 'Disabled' on the Alpine; and ensure you've disabled (temporarily) all router security..?

Thanks kev for replying.
I have a hard wired lead to the router for one computor and 3 laptops connected by wifi and another computor connected by wifi.
the range or should I say the ip addresses are 192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4
upto 192.168.07.I,m at work at the moment but as soon as I get home tonight I'll set the wep key to disabled is there any other thing on the router that I need to do?
Can't think of anything else...
But at least you know DHCP is working if the other PCs are getting ip addresses okay.
And you know the wireless is working...
So it does look likely that it will be something to do with WEP/WPA encryption... (I guess you've got it setup at home), hence why the router isn't allocating you an ip-address.
If you can't get it going, it may be worthwhile doing some sceenshots of the router configuration pages (or config files)...
What I can tell you is that what you are doing looks correct and you have everything setup so you can go on the internet whilst at home using the Alpine. Mine uses the router whilst at home and GPRS whilst out.

The dg834GT is pretty much the one that Virgin use, like I said in my earlier post.
I have found these particular routers to be a problem (sometimes) with my Alpine.
You should try to update the firmware.

Well Done Kev!
It was the "open"on the phone and putting "open" on the router.I had to intiallely disable the wep key.then when I got connected,I reactivated the WEP key and I could not connect.So on the phone I unticked the automatically connect to my name of my router name and reput in my encryption key again and I was in and On line.Thanks to both of you(Kevcal and Voxshots) for helping me.Definately could not have done it without you Pair.I like the idea of using the screenshots so I,ll post a screenshot of all the settings on the phone and computor so that anybody else will be able to resolve there problems with all credits going to you people on the bottom!
Very happy to have helped and glad you sorted it out
I have tried many times to connect to the internet through a WiFi connection. The phone finds WiFi connections OK but when I click on Internet Explorer, the phone tries to connect via GPRS.
I have tried reading the other threads and reading through 'how to connect' on the phone but have not found a solution.
I have had my XDA2i for many years and just changed the digitiser pad and LCD. I've never connected to a WiFi network, despite many tries.
Initial questions:
What IP address has it given you... is it 192.... or 169.... ?
And what is the IP address of your router?
When I select 'Wireless LAN Manager' it displays
Status: Connected to network
SSID: O2wireless**** Tx Rate:Auto
Mode: Infrastructure Channel: 1
BSSID: **-**-**-**-**-**
MAC: **-**-**-**-**-**
IP: 169.254.***.***. Renew IP
Signal quality = 80% Good
I don't know what any of these numbers mean. I have left out some info, as I don't know what is private. Is the IP address mine or the network I'm trying to connect to?
I don't have a wireless network. I just want to connect to hot spots when I'm out, like my friends do.

The IP address of 169.... means that the Router you are connected to isn't giving out dynamic addresses (DHCP)... Dynamic means that you are given your IP address by the router.
You couldd eclare a Static IP address, but for using hotspots you need to use Dynamic.
Where are you testing this?
If it's a friend's router, get them to check that DHCP is enabled and that its giving out addresses (could test with a wireless laptop).
The info I posted is a router I am picking up near my house.
When I'm out, we often go to a Hotel which has free wireless networking. My friend picks it up on her Blackberry with no problems. I can pick it up up but Internet Explorer always tries to connect using GPRS. I'm supposed to be the computer geek, so it's very embarrassing.
Well if you're only getting a 169... IP address then you're not going to get anywhere...
When you turn on wifi it should first of all start 'Scanning Network', then you get the SSID, etc and then get (say) a 192.... address. If you don;t get the 192 address then for some reason you're not picking up a dynamic ip address...
My desktop LAN and wifi are different network. My office network is 192.168.1.x and wifi router WAN IP is 192.168.1.254 and wifi router LAN network is 192.168.15.x
My Note connects to wifi router and gets 192.168.15.2. I got wifi router configured to give static DHCP IP to my phone and it always gets 192.168.15.2. I then added port mapping to forward TCP port 8080 to this IP.
So when I run Kies Air, it displays URL http://192.168.15.2:8080
and from my desktop I type http://192.168.1.254:8080 and IT DOES NOT WORK. As soon as I hit go, URL gets forwarded to http://192.168.1.254:8080/www/index.html (blank screen) which means browser did reach Kies Air service but then nothing goes further.
I had done similar port mapping with other similar kind of apps (AirDroid, LazyDroid App Desktop, Motorola's similar app) and it always used to work.
Laptops in the same n/w (i.e., 15.x) are able to connect to Kies Air without any issue. My wifi router is DLink DIR 655. Any clues?
disable DHCP from your wifi router and let all devices get their IP from your original router. that way, you will be in the same IP range.
Thanks for the reply. Yes that is one solution to set wifi router in AP mode. But problem is we don't have master dhcp server leasing out 198.168.1.x IPs. All desktop are given static IP and there is firewall deciding who is given access to where and to do what.

Work WiFi... Our company uses a static IP. Well I can not get my phone to connect to the internet. The phone will connect to the router. It will obtain an IP but it will not connect to the internet. I've gone in changed settings in the phone to static IP.. used the DNS in the router as well as Google DNS and still no luck.. ios devices hook up to this router just fine after changing their static IP settings.. Any thoughts??
Whether you get an internet connection or not - assuming you're using the right password, encryption, mask, etc., is up to the settings in he router. Ask the network admin to set your phone's IP address and MAC address to get a full connection.
