Re: WRT54GX4 - Blackberry

Re: WRT54GX4 - Blackberry
Reflash firmware, hard reset router for 1 minute and set all settings again. Change channel to 1. And in advanced wireless settings, change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, and RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2

WRT54GX4 - Blackberry

Can ANYONE help?

I have a Blackberry Curve 8320 and the LinkSys WRT54GX4-SRX400 Router.
I have the updated Firmware 1.00.20.
I have tried with MAC filtering on and off.

The Blackberry clearly sees the network, tries to connect and then fails. Reason :W010 - WiFi Association Failed.

I have searched Blackberry forums everywhere, and find multiple instances of the same problem with this model of Router. I am surprised that I have not yet seen it posted here.

I find it hard to believe that one particular model would not be able to connect to the Blackberry. I can connect to other Routers no problem...but that doesn't help me at home.

Can anyone help?

I like the router but am frustrated beyond belief!

Remember all the posts I did about anxiously awaiting the HTC Shift? Heck, I even sold my HTC Advantage in anticipation of purchasing one in October…only to find out that I had jumped the gun (more than) a little bit. The wait got so bad that I started to think the mini-laptop was just a whisper of something that HTC had planted in my brain, perhaps even a figment of my imagination. Sure, a few of them popped up on the internet over the last year, but it just seemed like delay, after delay, after delay plagued the mini-laptop. digital-fingerprint@geardiary.com

Well, it would appear that the wait is over, in Europe at least, February 11 marks the HTC Shift’s official availability.

When Jerry took this picture of me holding the Shift at CES, if finally began to sink in that the device might actually appear. The question now will be, is it too late or do I still want one? We shall see.

RIM patents touchscreen LCD

RIM patents touchscreen LCD
Based on the four month period between filing and publishing instead of the usual 18 months, we're probably going to be seeing something soon.

ZDNet has discovered that RIM has patented a form of touchscreen LCD. The patent, titled System and Method for Integrating A Touchscreen Within an LCD, describes “a touchscreen which is integrated into an LCD” in more detail than you can shake a stick at. The technology works primarily by detecting displacement of liquid crystal in a display and sending information based on that movement. ZDNet author Russell Shaw pointed out that the patent was published only four months after being filed rather than the usual 18, a very good indicator that the technology will be used soon. The rumors about a touchscreen for the BlackBerry 9000 have been mostly quashed, so it remains to be seen what device the technology will be used in.

mig33 comes to BlackBerry

mig33 comes to BlackBerry
mig33 is now offering a bunch of IM support, photo sharing and general social networky stuff for your BlackBerry.

mig33I hadn’t heard of them until now, but mig33 is a social networking site for mobiles that allows photo sharing, cheap international SMS and calls, but most of all, it incorporates multiple chat services in its handheld client. There are some pretty cool functions there, but really, how can you not endorse such a cute robotic mascot? I mean, c’mon. Look at that thing. More info on the BlackBerry client here, or you can head on over to http://wap.mig33.com to get your OTA download. Thanks Hayden!

While everyone’s attention is on Microsoft’s acquisition bid for Yahoo!, Microsoft quietly gobbled up Danger. You may not be familiar with that company name, but you probably recognize their product. Danger created the innovative “Hip Top” communicator in 2002 - which later became the T-Mobile Sidekick . We’ve been having a lively discussion about smartphones with Mitchell and others making great observations. When considering Smartphones, don’t forget Sidekick - it’s an entry level smartphone that performs wireless synchronization of emails, address, calendars and more. Plus it offers a great web browser and instant message client. In the states, the Sidekick is offered through T-Mobile. Your guess is as good as mine about what Microsoft will do to with Sidekick. digital-fingerprint@geardiary.com

Weekly Contest: Palatable Patents

Weekly Contest: Palatable Patents
We just got hammered with two new patent filings that are pretty exciting. The one to make the best stab at what these new technologies actually mean for BlackBerry will win a copy of FlipSide, the BlackBerry music player.

<b>BlackBerry</b> 9000Y’know, the BlackBerry 9000 isn’t even out yet, and we’re already looking at some vastly new designs that could easily be seen in the next generation. Maybe it’s a little hasty to presume that these new patents by RIM will get used, but they do strike a certain chord of believability. Some of the goofier stuff like angular and roll-out keyboards are easily dismissed as wacky ideas that could get cashed in on down the road, but the angled slider and touchscreen designs are both tried and true formulas that can be immediately capitalized on.

The big question is where do these features fit into RIM’s product line? How likely is the BlackBerry 9000 to change from our first looks before launch? Enough to incorporate either of these new patents? Or is a touchscreen slider what we’re looking at after the BlackBerry 9000? Maybe a 9200 or 9300, or perhaps a new series altogether? Anyone willing to hazard an educated guess will win a copy of the fine music player for your BlackBerry, FlipSide.

We got a few stray entries, but no worries, we’ll count you in the contest. The vast majority of users are throwing their weight behind function before style, but Bla1ze was the only one to throw style a bone and admit that image is, in fact, a part of the picture. It’s tough to admit our own vanity sometimes, but it’s harder still to ignore it. ‘Grats Bla1ze, the DecalGirl BlackBerry skin is yours! Everyone else, thanks for you input, and we hope to see you again this week.

It’s almost official… Yahoo! is going to say no to the proposed MS buy-out… digital-fingerprint@geardiary.com

With all the hubbub wrapped around the unsolicited buy-out bid that Microsoft made a few days ago, I know a lot of people have been patiently watching and waiting to see what Yahoo! would say. It seems as though their answer is going to come in the next day or so; and for Microsoft, it isn’t going to be what they wanted to hear…

Re: WRT54GX4 - Blackberry
Forgive my ignorance if it is apparent...

It is set up to WEP (64 bits 10 hex).
Association Mode - Auto

Using any of the 4 generated WEP keys, it will still not connect. In fact with all security features turned off....same problem.

thanks for answering...any more thoughts?
I just googled it all again, and can't find any answers for this model.

Comment on DRM Is Dead But iTunes Is Still Living Off Its Corpse by Thomas Trumble
You're right on both fronts. Steve Jobs and Apple will be sure to modify their sales model to soon and the ease of purchasing on iTunes and then uploading to an iPod at the same price and without DRM will overcome any head start that Amazon.com has now. Then there's the whole video DRM issue that still has to be dealt with.

WorldMate Live updated

WorldMate Live updated
WorldMate Live gets an upgrade, now featuring on-the-go itinerary changing.

WorldMate LiveThe BlackBerry travel companion of choice just shot off their first newsletter, announcing a few changes to WorldMate Live. For one, the Outlook plugin has been smoothed over with improved compatibility with older versions of Outlook. The biggest change is being able to add and edit itinerary items right from your BlackBerry. This was my primary gripe with WorldMate Live, and it’s great to see the improvement made. It wasn’t even much of a problem, but really just a gap in function. Another cool feature is the ability to CC WorldMate Live for travel confirmations so that bookings are immediately reflected in your itinerary without needing to put it all in through Outlook. This is a great app that helps you keep all of your travel plans together in one spot, so go ahead and sign up for free, and if you’re already hooked up, you can grab the Gold subscription here, which includes flight alerts, status and schedules, along with a handy travel directory and 24/7 customer support.
