WRT160N Won't Connect With Windows Mobile Device

I had another wireless router for years that connected almost instantly to my Windows Mobile 6.1 handheld device. I switched to the WRT160N and it works great with my wireless laptops. The device does not even show up in my available device lists on my Windows Mobile phone with wi-fi. I tried manually connecting and it does not work. I tried all of the other security settings, it does not work. The phone manufacturer (not the sevice provider which is Verizon) has acknowledged that they are having calls only about Cisco branded routers. Does anyone have a solution?

I had exactly the same problem. Tried the live technical support chat but didn't solve the problem. Resorted to random changing of settings and discovered if I changed the router setting Wireless -> Basic Wireless Settings - Network mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed' my Windows Mobile 6.1 device found the network and happily connects with WPA2

700w not recognized by Vista with windows mobile device center

please help:
i have a treo 700w that doesn't want to consistently connect to machine I am working on. when it works (rarely), it works fine, when it doesn't there is no explanation. I have restarted both computer and phone, and I can't seem to get a connection made.
Further I tried to uninstall/reinstall the windows mobile device center, i have removed the sync profiles on both my computer and phone, but nothing is seeming to work. I find it interesting that vista recognized my Smartphone USB device (it shows in the device manager), but that windows mobile device center doesn't show that anything is connected.
I am connecting via USB, but would be happy to connect via bluetooth, but when i try that approach, it only offers headset/wireless stereo (i'm looking for calendar/contacts/etc).
any direction would be wonderful - i have searched in google and subsequent pages for an hour already, and I'm thinking someone must have a better way.
Thanks,

PS - for those who are forum administrators, the registration process sucks: the password limitations are oddly strong for a simple forum like this, and when you don't put in a proper password from the get-go, it clears your prior selection of device/os/agreement registration, so when you fix the red flags (the password) and submit, it (and only then) tells you that you've forgotten to answer the questions below (that you had already answered before you were thwarted by the password reqs). sigh.
Post relates to: Treo 700w (Verizon)

Hi AlanG,
I have tried multiple USB connections, and do not have another sync cable. No luck.
Though, your post gave me an idea and that was to use a safety pin to scrape the contacts at the bottom of the phone. I keep the phone in my pocket most of the time, so there was some visible grime, though i would have guessed that the connection could have been made (it wasn't that grimy, just not shiny).
The other thing that was interesting is that when it was plugged in previous to the cleaning it shows the device connected to be a " smartphone usb sync ". Post cleaning, it now shows as a " PocketPC ". I'm not sure what the difference is, nor if I should be hoping that it reads "treo 700w", but hey, can't look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
So, that, in addition with removing all partnerships on both the machine and the treo (and after restarting my phone) it finally connected.
Wow. What a remarkable pain. Let's hope it keeps working.

Not Connecting To Windows Mobile Device Center

I want to be able to connect with a Windows Mobile Device through Windows Mobile Device Center, within a Virtual Machine. When connecting through the Hyper-V Manager and through Remote Desktop, under "Other supported RemoteFX USB devices",
I can see the Symbol USB Sync Cradle. In the VM, in Device Manager, I don't see a USB connection. In the VM, I don't see any meaningful errors in the Event Viewer.
Host: Windows 8.1 Enterprise Hyper-V on a Domain. Upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro. When this computer was originally installed with Windows 8 Pro, Hyper-V was enabled. I removed Hyper-V, and installed VMWare Player, because I wanted
USB Pass-through. I then uninstalled VMWare and installed VirtualBox. Recently, I uninstalled VirtualBox, upgraded to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, and enabled Hyper-V.
Virtual Machine OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 on a Workgroup. Started out with being a VMWare VM, using VMWare Player. Moved to VirtualBox. USB Pass-through was working in both those virtual environments. Used Disk2VHD to convert the
VM to a VHDX file.
On the Host:
Windows Mobile Device Center is connected to a Motorola Windows Mobile Device (MC959X) sitting in a Symbol USB Cradle. The OS on the scanner is Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Classic CE OS 5.2.29217 (Build 29217.5.3.12.26). Advanced Networking
(USB to PC) is not enabled.
Enabled RemoteFX.
In the RDP file, and in the Registry, added the GUID's for:
WPD "{eec5ad98-8080-425f-922a-dabf3de3f69a}";
Windows Mobile "{6AC27878-A6FA-4155-BA85-F98F491D4F33}";

GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE "{A5DCBF10-6530-11D2-901F-00C04FB951ED}"
Ran "sfc /scannow"
All Microsoft Updates are current.
What am I missing?

Thank you for your efforts. I have followed those instructions, but I am still not all the way there yet.
Now, on the Guest, in the Device Manager, under Mobile Devices, I see the Symbol USB Sync. But Windows Mobile Device Center still does not connect.

WRT300N Problems with Windows Mobile devices

Hello.
After installing the latest firmware my HP Rx3715 PDA (windows mobile 2003) is not able to connect to my wireless WRT300N network. It keeps prompting me that the WPA Key i incorrect. If I disable WPA (No encryption) it works fine.
I tried som easy wpa codes like: 12345678 but it doesnt work!
My Settings are:
Radio Band Wide 40mhz (tried also normal)
wide channel 6
standard channel 8
SSID Broadcast Enabled
PSK-Personal
Enc. TKIP
key renwal 3600

does any of the wireless computer connect to the router with the WPA security ?? and what is the algorithm that the WPA is using i.e is it TKIP or AES ??

Netware Access Point won't connect with Windows, but will connect to Macs

Recently we acquired Cable Internet Service, which was brought into the X Serve Network Card. After that it is transfered onto the second network card which then dishes out DHCP to all our client computers (including laptops). However, it appears that only the Macintosh laptops are obtaining internet, while the windows laptops show they have a wifi connection, but the browser applications refuse to launch on everyone of them. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.

When you reinstalled iTunes, you may not have done it correctly. It needs to be done in a specific order, or it will just compound your problems. There is a problem with the latest iTunes in Windows, and it has been requiring a removal and reinstallation. See this support document support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and remove and reinstall by following these instructions exactly. This should fix your problem.

Well, they were wrong. Your issue is with Microsoft products, not Apple. Therefore questions should be presented on their forums.

Bluetooth device is not listed in Windows mobile device center

Hi,
I installed the latest Vista Bluetooth Driver on my Notebook (P100 426) and I even get a connection with my cell phone; unfortunately I'm not able to use this connection with windows mobile device center. If I click on the Bluetooth icon in the control panel I don't see the bluetooth device of my notebook.
Any suggetions?

Vista Mobile Device Center support is currently not included. It should be implemented in one of the coming versions.

Windows Mobile Device Center no longer supported?

I have a customer that has some Motorola Windows Mobile 6.5 devices. They were trying to get their devices connected to their PCs with Windows Mobile Device Center and were running into problems. They contacted Microsoft Tech support and were
told that the Windows Mobile Device Center is no longer a supported product. Is there any truth to that? How the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS still be supported but the Windows Mobile Device Center is not? Their IT team will not let them install/use
Windows Mobile Device center now.

I think this is what you need. you can find the Microsoft product support lifecycle in here:

How to run windows mobile device center via remote desktop

I am developing mobile application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I connect to my computer via remote desktop and my operating system is Windows Server 2012 R2. In order to test the application, I use mobile device emulator. I can run device emulator but
there occurs a problem when I try to cradle the device. I found out that this is because wmdc cannot run via remote desktop. Is there any way to run wmdc via remote desktop? I searched other topics but there is no solution to this.
Note : WMDC works when I directly use the computer not with remote desktop.

Hi Omer,
Please check this thread to see if there is one solution may solve your problem.

How to install the JRE that comes with JME 3.0 to a Windows Mobile device

From Sun's JME download page:
Integration with 3rd party emulators and Windows Mobile devices
The new Java ME Platform SDK architecture allows integration of 3rd party emulators and devices. Java ME Platform SDK comes with Sun's Java runtime environment for Windows Mobile. A user can install this runtime on a Windows Mobile device or a Microsoft device emulator and experience all the on-device features of Java ME Platform SDK.*
My question is, how can I install the Java runtime environment that comes with Java ME Platform SDK 3.0 to a Windows Mobile device. I am a newbie in this device programming and I'm setting up my development environment. So far, I have installed JME in my computer, and have also installed both the Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 emulator. I've been searching the internet for answers, but it always points me to using a third party java runtime such us Mysaifu, etc. I would like to stick with what is packaged with JME if possible.
If anybody assist me or direct me to an online documentation on how to do this. All help is greatly appreciated :-)

I had some success installing on a real Mobile 5 device [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5344195]
There is a link to a doc on the main download page, item 5 under How to Install. [http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30ea.jsp] I used this for the real device, Treo 700w. Did not try it with an emulator.
The support looks to be an emulator rather than a JVM per say. But then again I could be wrong on that. I too had poked around looking for a JVM, CrEme, J9, etc..
I do have a commercial app installed on the Treo that uses IBM's J9, which is seems requires a contact with a sales person to get ahold of. I had hoped to find something that might clue me in on how to "hook up" my own J2ME app with the J9 installed by the commercial package. But I've pretty much decided to get a real J2ME handset rather than continue to waste my time hacking up something with WM. Now the question is which one makes a good reference platform?

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
Thanks for your help.

I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

Compatibility with Windows Mobile 5.0 ?

Does anyone know if Flex apps would work on PocketPCs, ie.
using Windows Mobile 5.0?
I haven't purchased one yet, so I can't test.
At this link, Adobe identifies Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/
This page identifies FlashLite 2.1 which seems to be based on
Flash Player 7
but includes Action Script 2.0 support:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/
Does anyone know for sure? We'd like to do some monitoring
& reporting
in Flex & make it available on the go for people, but
don't want to go buy the phones
until we know it is possible.
Thanks

Can you see this on your device?

If so, then Flash is installed fine. Note, though, that Flash
content will
only play when viewed in a browser (html file) or when
embedded in an
application using ActiveX or similar. So if you are tryting
to play a swf
file, that won't work.
