i wonder why my HD mini dosent detect my wifi which is located exactly in my room. instead of detecting my wifi in my room, it detects the wifi located next to my house.
im so disappointed converting from HTC Hero to this model. please help me
Please check if ur wifi is "b/g only", set channel to 1 and check again.
With some modems (like the one I have, Italia Telecom) you need to add the net manually, otherwise it doesn't work. Have you tried that?
yup.. my phone had the same problem.. the channel was set to 12.. i changed it to 8 and now its working without any problem....

I have a vodafone uk hd2 and have been really impressed with it as a product. I have not had any luck with the supplied wifi router software, I go through the minimal setup and press start and as far as the phone is concerned the router is up and running, the problem i have is that neither of my laptops can see the router.
Has anyone had any luck using it? Is it possible that vodafone have disabled it somehow?
Alternatively so i can manually add the router does anyone have the following details that would be setup automatically;
wep in use? is it 128 pass phrase or 40/128 key?
open system authentication or shared key?
im guessing the wep index would be 1?
Thanks
Search .. it was discussed 10 times already.
Thats as maybe but none of the several threads have a real answer as to why some people have it working and others dont. It also seems that the functionality can be effected by soft reset which isnt ideal at all. Also i havent been able to find any of the above original settings that i asked for in the threads hence the post.
Works for me
Hi,
works great for me - just have to make sure that you're not connected to WLAN with the HD2 when trying. Disabling WLAN, then starting WIFI-Router does the trick for me.
Good luck !
I am on vodafone and wifi router works perfectly for me. It worked when I had the stock 1.43 rom and it works with all the cooked roms I have used since.
i did notice it only works with 802.11g not with 802.11b devices like PSP or some other phones..
Is that really the case that it only works with 802.11g devices? Im fairly sure my netbook isnt new enough to have 802.11g and as such probably wont see the router. Has anyone found a way to get the router visible to 802.11b devices?
Wonder if u have enable the N band function . I think Wi fi router will not work properly when it is enable. I did numerous testing with my laptop and iphone . When n band is enable on HD2 , Iphone can surf net thru HD2 but not the laptop . When n band is disable , device can connect no problem ..... So , to get wifi router to work , just have to stick with g band until someone can solve the issue .
Just to add on my previous post , I tried using WMWIFIRouter , also come back to same result ....

The N band doesn't work anyway on the HD2.. better turn it off.. just because there's a parameter in the registry doesn't mean it works..
I have a N router at home and while it looks like it's doing N and it states "auto" instead of 54mbs, it still connects to the narrow band channel on the router..
N Works

N Works. I have a Linksys WRT320N router that can operate on N only, and the phone connects fine (at regular 2,4 ghz, the new 5 ghz doesn't work). Didn't speedtest.
I tried the standard sharing prog and wmwifi router (different versions) and can only, with a lot of effort, get my laptop on the net through the BT of my HD2. I have the N tweak on. Also did the trying in range of the router.
Any chance it's the computer you are trying to connect with? Tried with my work computer, but couldn't because our Dells have computer to computer(adhoc) connections locked out for security. Does the wifi router function show up as adhoc or access point?

Ok Ive got a similar problem with the wifi router and vodafone
everything works hunky dory wifi router turns on, computer connects all is good only when i try and access a website i get a http error 403 forbidden message as if voda have restricted access i have no idea how this would be possible though.
Ive tried many site same result and many browsers chrome, safari, ie, firefox and opera
same thing
the strange part is that tweetdeck and skype work while the browsers don't
HHMMM
anyone else experienced this problem
As I'm on O2 I was quite keen to flash a new ROM to get the wifi router working as they did the dirty on us by ripping it out of the 1.43 they shipped it with...suffice to say that I'm not overly impressed with it after the couple of trials I've made using 1.66 ROM as the speeds its capable of generally fall short of what you get if you simply connect it via usb and use data sharing..bear in mind that I've only tried it twice so far and as such I may refine my opinion with further trials in different locations but as I was hoping to avoid repeatedly connecting leads to the usb socket it's a bit of a blow sooner or later, wear and tear will be an issue to think about.
my findings
had a play with the router, just to see and initially thought it wasn't working.it connected, but wouldn't pass any data.
25 minutes of my best network technician skillz later still no joy... that is until I remembered the laptop has a fixed ip and default dns server address set. as soon as I set them to automatic, bingo, fully working.
did a speed test from the laptop (mobilespeedtest.com) and got just under 900kbit over 3g. winner!
The connection only shows as 802.11b, but that's fast enough for the 3g connection so no worries.
the only down side is that it's adhoc, so the wifes n95 doesn't see it..but then again thats possibly a blessing In disguise!
EDIT as mentioned by the poster below, I had three connections present, (wap.o2.co.uk, mobile.o2.co.uk and paymonthly.o2.co.uk) and the router wouldn't work on them all, though I forget now which it would and which it wouldn't.
I never tried with 1.43 O2 ROM, but after flashing to 1.66 stock rom I just tried this.
For some reason I have 3 internet connection options:
1) Pay monthly contract
2) o2 active
3) mobile web
My standard connection is "mobile web" so I tried this first, and my laptop couldnt see the HD2 as a WIFI router. I then tried the "pay monthly contract" option and it worked straight away.
Now under my Notifications screen under O2 3G UK, I have two connections running, and the download speeds running the same as my home broadband due to the HSPA connectivity available through the phone.
Anyway, I just thought I would share this with anyone it may help.
Hi, I am using windows vista, and after set up computer to computer ad-hoc with internet sharing enabled, my HTC HD2 won't detect it? Any solutions?
The obvious.. In the advanced wifi settings on the phone, start by making sure it's set to show both AP and ad-hoc.
I found it, thank you!
I have a similar issue, i don't see any wifi networks in my list but when i look on my laptop or my other phone there are plenty of wifi networks around. Would anyone know what i need to select as my adapter under the Configure Network Adapters... or anything else that might solve my issues?
Thanks
well i've got the same problem,my us hd2 can't find wi-fi networks, i guess that happened after upgrading rom to 3.14.531.1, but i'm not sure. i try it at my work where signal is very good,also at home, and at my friens home where wi-fi is working for sure and still my phone doesn't see anything. please help (
Hi
I just installed the NexusHD2 ROM today, and I experienced a bug/issue with this ROM.
The problem is that my wireless network is hidden (doesn't broadcast SSID and doesn't show up on list of available networks) and therefore no devices will see that it's there, unless they know it's there. I did have the SENSATION XL v3.0 Android 2.3.5 on the device before and that one did not have the problem. Before that I had some PACman JellyBean ROM, which also didn't have that issue.
My HTC One X with stock HTC 4.1.1 ROM also registreres my hidden network without any problems.
Now in order to get connected to my network, I need to tell the OS (doesn't matter if it's Android, WP, iOS, Windows, OS X, Linux) that it's there, and also tell the type of password-encryption and what the password is. This proces is just the same on every single ROM I used, but only difference is that the NexusHD2 JB ROM doesn't recognize the network when it is hidden. If I then go to the setup of my Wireless router and turn off the hidden network, so that anyone, within range of the wireless router, can see it, then it also is recognized by the HD2 and it automatically connects. When I then hide the network again, it stays connected, until I reboot the phone or until it turns of Wi-Fi to lower power-consumption. When it then tries to reconnect, I have the issue again, where it tells my that the network is out of range/not available.
Does anyone else have this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it, without having to change the configuration of my router.
I have the HTC HD2 EU 512MB Version
Just go to settings and add the network manually. The plus sign at the bottom of screen!

I use the same setup - hidden network - without problems. Not sure what the problem is but I would try a lower channel number and/or set a different encryption method on the router to see if one might make a difference.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Appreciated....start at the simplest and work from there...referring to your comment not your ever changing signature...kudos..
Hello guys .. so I just got my N6P four days ago .. when I first opened it and tried to connect to my home WIFI network .. it refused to do so .. it didn't even detect my network no matter how close I'm to the router .. and strangely it detected every single WIFI network around my house .. all of them .. I tried lots of things including an early factory reset "I think I've made the fastest factory reset in history after only half an hour opening the box LOL " and it didn't work .. I received 4 security updates using my data and it didn't work .. It didn't actually detect the network except for when I changed the network name from the router's page "It was on marshmallow back then"
Now I thought that it got fixed and everything was alright .. I received the official Nougat update the day after this and all worked so fine .. until I disconnected my router and re-opened it .. the mobile didn't detect the network .. AGAIN !
and again it was detecting all the networks around us .. so I changed the network name again and it worked !
now as you can imagine .. this happened with me another 3 times in the past three days .. and it's really annoying .. the mobile is just fantastic but this issue gets under my skin .
any help guys ?
thanks in advance
Any help?
Return it.
How many other Wi-Fi hotspots have you tested your phone with...Friend's house, School, Public, etc? If your phone will see and connect to those, then the issue is your router.
Another thought is you say the phone "can't detect my network". If you mean cannot SEE the network, then you may have the router set to not broadcast the AP. You can still connect using "hidden networks" OR just set your router to broadcast the AP which is the default. Lastly, most routers are dual band, meaning 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Usually each has it's own password (and security settings). Try to connecting to each one, and make sure your security settings are compatible with the phone. (eg. WPA2-PSK AES) vs TKIP. Sounds like you may have some router Wi-Fi configuration issues, more than a phone issue. BUT the first step is to test with other known working Wi-Fi AP's.
I had the same, trying three roms within a few hours.
In the end I had to change a router setting, from "channel 13" to "auto".

Well.. It was my first thought that it was a router configuration issue and I tried all of these things.. Unfortunately nothing worked except for changing the SSID.. What irritates me the most that it already can see and connect to any other wifi "friend's school's etc" it only happens with my own home network.. And my own N6P only.. No other device is affected.. I'm still working on it so yeah

Unfortunately it's not an option.. I live in a country where it's really difficult to get a nexus in here in the first place
But yeah that would have been my first option if it was easy

Hi everybody!
First of all thanks a lot that this great Forum exist. When I have Problems with my phone the first step is to search in this Forum.
Now I have a Problem that I can't solve alone.
For my FPV Cam i Need the 5.8GHz Wifi Network on Channel 149.
When I use a IPhone I can connect the phone with the Copter Cam.
At my Huawei I can't find this Network.
Is it possible to open the channels?
I tryed it as follows:
* I changed the wifi Region Code to US (with root)
* tryed to do the WIFI County Code fix (from your Forum)
* I tryed to edit the wpa_supplicant file to Change the wifi Network to an external wifi OTG Stick which reach this channel
But nothing worked well.
Hopefully anyone can help me.
Thanks and nice regards
Markus
Any news on this? I can't connect to my DJI SPARK either. It just won't see the network
Some P10 Lites can't use 5GhZ wifi.
Depends what model you have. My TL10 can't use it.
