What exactly do you mean with network crash?
What exactly happens to the other PCs in the network?
Just a guess, but it probably the firewall getting overloaded. I got the same on mine when downloading torrents. Try turn it off and see if it helps.

Don't seem to be able to connect to the internet or exchange server via WiFi.
Can only get data via mobile network (orange)
Is this normal ?

wifi on hero worked perfectly for me. The problem must be unique to your phone/config.
If you try to go to an Orange bookmarked site then it errors - these are the free pages on Orange, which rely on an Orange connection.
Other than that I can browse the web over WiFi just fine.

Cheers, will factory reboot tonightand try again.

Yes I noticed that. Pretty sloppy from Orange that. There should be a 'what if' type proxy situation for wifi vs gprs/hsdpa.
But do we expect any less, they are only a phone provider FFS!
OK, have factory reset, still no internet access through wifi, any ideas ? ?
Do you get any wifi's coming up when you go to wireless controls -> Wifi settings?
if not, are you sure your router is set to discoverable?
I get a connection to the router and its shows on the hero as connected but all applications just say I have no network connection. Flick the wifi off then all back to normal :-(

Sounds like an addressing issue to me. There is no static ip definition on the mobile is there? Or possibly a dns config issue.
Sounds like osi layers 1+2 (ish) are working but layer 3>failing.
It's not a layer 8 issue is it?

Have you just tried that 1 wifi spot? Try another and determine whether it is just the phone, or the connection between your router and your phone.

I definitely think you should try it out on another access point just because I have seen issues like this in the past where a device and router just haven't got on. Obviously this isn't a "solution" but if you have difficulty elsewhere, it probably points to an issue with the device itself.
Another thing you may like to try is manually changing the channel for your WiFi network - again, I've had issues like this in the past when a particular device has real trouble when the WiFi was set to certain channels.

How ironic, orange hero, with orange livebox on orange internet DON'T WORK !
Swapped to a Belkin N router, connects to wireless and all works fine
One less issue with the Hero
Thanks everyone
Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!
Hello gyus, yesterday i tried to connect to 2 different open wifi hotspots multiple times but i couldn't get connected... i Dont know for sure if they had access to the internet but i could not even establish a connection. I have no problem with the connection to my home wifi (which is locked) but i probably can't connect to open ones.... Any suggestions?
I am currently on B135SP02
Make your home wifi an open one and test.
Works fine on my school open network

I thought that too but it may "remember" it in a way... dunno...
I Will probably test it at the university today... but i think that it still has problems with open wifis that have <50% signal

Mine connects well with very weak open wifis with the B136 ROM.
Sorry for not updating this earlier but seems that there was no problem.
Hey guys, I have a problem and I feel like I've tried all I can think of to try and fix it. I got both my wife and I 2 kyocera rises. We activated them and all that and got them setup on our home wifi.
Well, I noticed that my rise will work fine and surf the net fine but at random times I won't be able to access the internet (Or any internet apps) even though it says i'm connected to the network. It will work if I use that connection widget to turn off the wifi and turn it back on but then it does the same thing, says i'm connected but i'm unable to use browsers/apps. The things I have tried was: Restart the phone, Reset the modem and router, factory reset the phone (Thinking it might be an app conflict), change the router channels, and I've even setup the phone for static IP.
Nothing is working and i'm at a stand still. The weird thing though is I believe my wives phone doesnt have this problem. She doesn't surf the web as much as I do but she occasionally goes onto the phone and never complains. If it helps, the router I am using is the Netgear WNR3500L. Does anybody have any ideas I can try out?

Nope, it won't even connect to a domains ip addresses.

Manually set IP information on your phone and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google). Otherwise I'd recommend checking for the latest update on the Wireless router.

I will try that and see how it is. My friend that used to work for sprint told me to disable connections optimizer as well as it has problems.
UPDATE: I thought it was working but it isn't I decided to grab my wifes phone to see if the same was happening to hers at the same time as mine and it does. Well, so it must be something wrong with my network but I'm not sure what. There's no new firmware updates either. The weird thing is, I tried my nexus 7 and my t.v.'s wifi and they both work so something is making the androids not want to stay connected or something.
Androids have this weirdness with Wi-Fi. Try disabling security.
Factory reset the router and set it back up.
I found the problem. It was intact the firmware but there was no firmware updates from net gear but then I remembered my router is open source. So I decided to try flashing tomato onto my router and now my phones aren't dropping the connection. Thanks for the help guys!
I'm running Android 5.0.1 (Goldeneye ROM), and have found that my access to some LAN resources has become limited. For example, I can no longer connect to any Windows/SMB shares which I was accessing fine a few days ago (using ES File Explorer). I also use the Onkyo Remote app to control my AV receiver, but now it cannot find the receiver on the network. I am also unable to connect to my Squeezebox server using the client app.
Using terminal emulator I can ping my router (192.168.1.1), but if I try to ping WIndows PCs or other devices on the LAN it just hangs. If I try to ping my AV receiver I get "destination host unreachable".
I have full internet access via wifi, but no access to any LAN resources it seems. A reboot hasn't helped. Any ideas for how I can diagnose this further?
Well I wouldn't say your phone was at fault, I had something similar and only re flashing the firmware on the router solved it. Router was old and cheap though.
The one thing I didn't try was rebooting the router...and now I have and....that solved it!
Thanks
So maybe "solved" wasn't the right choice of words....having successfully connected to the receiver earlier today I tried again this evening and got exactly the same problem - no access to any of my LAN resources. Having to reboot my router every time I use the Onkyo remote app is soon going to get pretty tiresome.
Any idea what might be causing this problem, and how I might prevent it happening?

A ****ty router is causing it. Other then that I don't have super powers to guess what type of router you are using
It's a Sky Broadband router - supplied by Sky about 2 months ago.

No idea then. You can try a different firmware on your phone / different modem, maybe that can make a difference. But you have just a bad router. No decent router would cause this behavior.
