Enfora for Treo650: Wifi browser issues
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I've just bought the Enfora Wifi sled for my Treo650. Got it connected to our home wifi network, but the Blazer browser won't surf the Internet now. I'm guessing that AT&T has disabled this feature so that I will keep paying for my unlimited data plan. Do any of you have information about this?

I'm planning on having the phone unlocked so it can fully access wifi, but it would be a real drag to pay for this and find that it still doesn't work.
Thanks...

Maybe you need to set up a new network connection...?

According to the Palm website I believe you have to get your phone unlocked. Until then you won't be able to use the wifi capabilities.

Thanks for your replies. I've now gotten the phone unlocked, it does detect wifi and connects to the wifi networks at home and work, but still won't access any webpages in the Blazer browser, won't download Express updates, and doesn't connect to mail servers.

I'd love to hear from anyone who can actually browse the web with a wifi adapter on the Treo 650. I've gone through the Enfora documentation, but maybe I've missed something???

My Enfora wifi sled is now working! I can browse the net at much faster speeds than I could with the old data plan. The Enfora rep called me and helped me to fix the problem. Here's the resolution for my 2Wire router configuration:
1. Change preferences -> network on the Treo menus, so that the IP address is automatic, and the DNS entries are entered manually.
2. Change the Enfora wifi manager settings in the Profile Settings screen (advanced) the same way. Be sure to click the "more" button and uncheck the "deny unencrypted data frames" box.

For open wifi, I can leave both the IP address and the DNS settings on automatic.

I am very happy now that I can finally get rid of my expensive data plan and surf for free on my Treo!

Thanks for the up-date, I had almost given up on my Wi-Fi.
