After installing the rooted GB leak, I can no longer transfer data on WPA2 protected WiFi access points. I can successfully connect and receive an IP address, but data just doesn't work. All of my apps say that there is no data connection.
I have tried two different access points from 2 different manufacturers and no luck.
Been working fine for me so far. I use 2 different APs with WPA2 (router at home, and i use my laptop as a wifi bridge to my phone while i'm at work via connectify and i have that set up with WPA2 as well).
Possible Suggestions:
-Toggle airplane mode on/off once to have it reset the wireless, or just reboot. See if that helps at all.
-If that does nothing, go into your wifi settings and tell it to forget those wifi networks (long press on the name). My guess is that something got screwed up there.
EDIT: Oh, and i guess i'll just go ahead and suggest the same answer that seems to fix most other GB related issues at the moment: Make sure you did the Wipe/Factory Reset. Could be some incompatible data lingering from the previous install.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I have tried all of the easy stuff already. I even re-sbf'ed (that is a word isn't it?) wiped and re-installed GB. Still no dice...
Same issue here.
Got into work today and could connect with Cisco WA point but no internet.
Changed the security to wep and then internet works fine.
Will check it tonight with my home setup.

im about to smash a phone.. i use my wireless at home to connect to with my phone to not use my data up. all of a sudden my wifi will shut off as soon as i start to download something in the Market. The only thing i know that was changed was a windows update a few days back so i uninstalled the KB fixes and rebooted. reset my dsl modem to factory defaults. using my same ssid and psk, read forums all over for tips but nothing has worked. havent factory reset the phone itself yet. seems its a problem with the atrix but I havent had the problem until like 2 days ago.
*i changed my router to WEP from WPA and Im able to stay connected so far.
Assuming you're using a wireless router and not using your windows computer as a pseudo hotspot, windows updates and settings on your computers shouldn't have any possible impact between your Atrix and router. Also, I can only imagine that the problem is on your phone, not anything else, since your wifi only shuts off when you go to the Market.
Weird that changing the encryption fixes it, but seriously, don't leave it set to WEP. It literally takes seconds to crack the password and very little technical know-how to do. I would factory reset your phone, should fix it.
Oh, and have you flashed any ROMs onto your phone? Some of them have (or at least had) issues with wifi for certain users. That could be your problem.

Is your router old? I have an old one, and I am having the same problem if I use anything other than WEP. Some people have said that a firmware update to their router helped. It didn't help me.
What type of WPA are you using?
i have the same problem at home, keep having the message on my phone network unreachable, after i wait few min then comes back to it. Very anoying
Atrix 4
1.83 gingerblur 3.1
-new DSL modem/router combo. Westell 7500
-i haven't rooted or flashed this phone yet.
-wpa-wpa2-tkip(and tried aes) with a wpa shared key at 3600 interval.
figured it was being booted by the firewall but i didnt see anything in the log. turned the firewall off. even added the phones mac address in Wireless > MAC Filtering > Primary SSID so "Only the stations listed in the table will be Allowed access. All others will be blocked". That didnt work either.
i had a problem a while back with the phone somehow interfering with my router. it would actually cause me to lose my internet connection while i was using wifi on the phone. i fixed that problem (forgot what i did) it might would have helped to remember when this new problem occurred.

I would highly suggest not using WEP for security reasons, it is very easy to crack the passwords, my friend has cracked them in less than 5 min and he isn't even that computer smart (no offense to him, but its just clicking through menus).
They can even spoof MAC filtering, so dont think that will save you. If you must use WEP I would suggest monitoring your traffic and connections.
I was really surprised at how fast the password could be cracked especially with modern programs.

yea. i would prefer to figure out why it stops working with wpa, but i have about gave up after trying everything but a phone factory reset, which would fix the problem possibly, but then i still wouldnt know what was the main cause.
its also working with WPA-WPA Mixed with Data Encryption on TKIP+AES

i would love to put a cell phone in a microwave. compact disks look so cool in them, me and a friend did that when we were like 13 (17yr ago..man, time flies). can only imagine what a cell phone would do.
Guys a week ago I bought my acer a500 Iconia yesterday I updated it to version 3.1, it was fast hands, much improved, I turned on my wifi connected it more often when I was browsing it does not access the Internet more and more strange I I can even access my router. Then I saw in that topic if you give it a reset back 2x the wifi to work properly. The more I did it and did not work, so I found the website of acer patch to fix the problem, I used more problem remained, so I downloaded another update.zip to update it to version 3.2, more el is still with the same problem does anyone know how to solve this?
First thing I'd do is try a hard reset the device..see where that takes you. Have you tried other routers, or tried connecting a different device to your router (to make sure it's not a router issue...)? If not, try restarting your router and modem first.
I take it you're running stock/not rooted?
I use the stock 3.2 ROM, I think the problem is the router, I used a program to use my laptop as a router and it worked, but not yet tested on a real router, but I think it's IP.
had this to
I had this when I bought my tablet (back when it had 3.1).
as fast as I got home and tried it the first time all networks around me could be found except for the one in our house.
I did a factory-reset on the tablet but it didn't work.
then i did a factory-reset on my router (since I lost the admin password). this seemed to work and after reïnstalling the ISP's things it functioned completely again.
I would suggest you change the channel of your wifi, the protection and retype the SSID.
also clear the logs and the firewall blocks.
If you retried connecting with these instructions leave a message here with your results
i try make what you says, but dont workink , my probleme is my router...
thanks!
I have done about everything. I can connect to my Android phone (using tether), my house, other open networks PERFECTLY, but unfortunately my gym uses a WEP network and I cannot get my tablet to connect to their network.
I have rebooted, forgot the network and set it up again (a million times) I have done EVERYTHING. My Android phone can connect to the gym network perfectly. Any suggestions?
Anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone connect to a WEP secured network and know that this works?
I had the same problem and found out the solution changing some values in the set up router.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I'm connected to our home browser which uses WEP. I think it's a matter of settings/wireless and networks/Wi-Fi settings/add wi-fi network. Once you are in the 'add' page, it asks about security, you should be able to input the data.

I have had same problems, honeycomb handles WPA and WPA2 enterprise networks weird compared to gingerbread. I have had problems with connections too. Try to use the "wifi advanced config editor" and make sure settings are correct for that network (after you attempt to connect to it in settings app). I hope google fixed this problem in ICS or i will be furious. Most of these kind of bugs are laziness on coders or just people who missed lines of code and then don't want to release an update (or wait till next update release rather than a hotfix).

So just to make sure I understand...
Basically the way I originally connected was that I let the tablet scan for networks, and it found the gym network. Once it found the gym network, I selected it and entered the password. I left the proxy and DHCP settings alone and pressed connect, and cannot get it to connect.
What you are suggesting that I do is delete the network, and add the network MANUALLY (where I input securtiy, SSID, passcode, etc.).. Is that right?
So I installed the Advanced Wifi tool, to no avail.
Here is the funny thing. I have a Samsung Epic 4G phone which uses Gingerbread, and it connects to the WEP just fine. I installed the Advanced Wifi on there as well, and went through the settings that were autoconfigured for the gym. Each setting matched my tablet perfectly, yet my tablet cannot pull an IP address, but my phone can.
I'm having the same issue. Thought it was the tab, just received replacement and still a No Go! Every other device in my house connects to this network. And the Gtab also connected perfectly until recently... no clue what to do now.
I have reached my wit's end trying to resolve my problems, so I'm posting here for ideas on fixing this, any input is appreciated!
When this started I was on stock, rooted, ICS 4.0.3 and had been for months. My wife has a nexus s with the same config and hers works fine.
Last week, my daughters sidekick 4G stopped having wi-fi internet connectivity. I turned her wi-fi off, then back on and it was fine and has been ever since. Later that night, my nexus did the same thing, the same procedure resolved it. Ever since then, my wi-fi will only work for 1-5 minutes after turning the wi-fi on. This is the only thing I can think of that changed that could have caused this. This was the first night we connected her sidekick to wi-fi.
The wifi symbol is up there, it'll be blue for up to half an hour, but won't have internet connectivity for long. One thing I noticed pretty quickly was that even though the grey wi-fi symbol is there, I can't access the router settings at 192.168.1.1 from the phone. I thought the grey wifi symbol still indicated I was connected to the router still, but it's not working. Each time this happens, I can turn wi-fi off, back on immediately and it'll work for 1-5 minutes. It appears that the more I constantly use it after turning it back on, it seems to maintain connectivity longer.
Last weekend, just after these issues started, I visited my sister and my phone operated on her wi-fi all weekend just fine.
When I came back home, my problems started immediately.
Here's what I've tried in pretty much the order I tried them:
I started by uninstalling avast, facebook, and autostarts
selected "Forget network" in access points screen and reconnected
Factory reset
Wipe dalvik cache & fix permissions
see if it worked without sim card in (it didn't)
flash GB broadcom driver
Switched router channel from 6 to 1
flash stock 2.3.6 (wi-fi problems still present)
flash OTA ICS (still had problems)
flash stock 2.3.6
flash OTA ICS
re-root
Flash PixelROM 1.60 LiteTouch
factory reset router (No wifi problems on using open network and default SSID for 30 minutes!)
resetup WPA Personal security and rename SSID same as before
Worked for another 15 minutes or so after this
flashed stock 2.3.6
flashed OTA ICS
re-rooted
Restored nandroid backup - quit working after this step
Factory reset router - worked for about 15 minutes, I decided I was ok so I setup security and SSID as before, then it quit working again
flashed PixelRom 1.60 LiteTouch
flashed stock 2.3.6
Flashed OTA ICS - THIS time I did not restore my google backups from the cloud, fearing that this was somehow restoring something that was causing me problems. It did not help.
Changed SSID on my router and reconnected phone
I have spent countless hours trying to fix this. I don't believe it's the hardware because the router factory reset seems to help quite a bit, works fine on unencrypted default router settings, and it worked on my sister's wi-fi.
I have nmap and wireshark and have a basic working knowledge of them. I have adb setup and usable on my computer. I also have dd-wrt installed on my router and have for years. Is there any kind of IP or hardware logging I could perform with these tools to help figure out what's going on??? ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!
Well i'm no expert with any of this, but it sounds more like a router issue.. If both your sidekick and nexus have the same characteristics of failing wifi, it cant be the devices..
If you've already reset your router and it does the same exact thing, maybe it is something wrong with the router itself. You said it connected fine at your sisters house, so it cant be any hardware within the phone.. The only thing I could think of is maybe try a different router in your house to see if it works? If that helps get rid of the connectivity issue, then you can just get a new router and be happy with the wifis
I don't think a *hardware* problem with the router would only affect 1 device connecting to it wirelessly. I would think that kind of issue would affect all devices on the network.
Which makes me wonder if there's a setting on the router that may be causing it somehow, or some combination of packets might somehow cause the router to block my phone.
But again, I'm open to ideas here and I appreciate your input. I think getting another router will be my next step if I don't hear anything better by the time I get my next paycheck.

Ohh, I thought you had said that both the sidekick and nexus were having problems connecting. My bad.
But yeah have you changed any settings on it lately? Or messed with anything related to the router? Some setting may be kicking your device off after 5 mins, maybe some frequency setting or something dumb like that, I have no clue.
I know how it feels to have funky wifi, so I was only trying to help. good luck
Have you removed DD-WRT from your Wireless Router and back to stock OS? I had a Linksys router with DD-WRT and after about 3 years it started working so weird it became useless with any device. Had to buy a new one.
BTW, are other devices connecting fine to this router?
As swamp goblin stated, I would try with a new router.
It sounds like an issue on your router (or AP) with mixed client settings. I have had this issue with an old Netgear AP.
Try forcing "WPA2 with AES only" if all clients support it, otherwise force "WPA with TKIP only". If you have mixed B/G/N devices, force the fastest mode that all devices support. I use "G only".
Then remove and re-add the router on all your devices.
Also check for router firmware updates, and if you use DD-WRT firmware, find the Wiki page for your model and revision and use the suggested build there. The DD-WRT database they have is a mess and should not be used!

I haven't changed any settings, until this problem began, which makes this even more maddening. I appreciate your input regardless

I haven't removed it. I thought I had a model that couldn't go back to stock, but I WILL be looking into this. The other devices connecting fine are Sidekick 4G, Wife's Nexus S, Acer Aspire one, HP tx2000 laptop, and my wife's HP laptop. I also have my satellite receiver connected via ethernet.

THIS FIXED IT! I tried it first since it was the simplest solution and I've been 4 days with no loss of connectivity since I changed it to AES only, which all my clients do support! Thanks so much!
Hello there.
This is my first post here, as I usually Google and usually find the solution here, but this time no.
Yesteday, my N4 stopped accessing the Web via Wifi.
It do connects to the Modem, gets its IP adress and etc. But I see no data being exchanged (using Internet Speed Meter I see 0kb/s, or a few bytes).
I see the N4 and its IP also from the router configuration page, and from the phone itself under wifi settings.
It was working fine 48Hours ago, and I didn't make anything weird in the past hours. It was running PacMan Rom (the latest one). I tried a factory reset and wiping a fresh 4.4, but nothing yet.
I tried multiple Fresh-Flashing but none helped.
I tried connecting to a free Wifi Hotspot and it worked like a charm, but when it comes to the my Wifi spot, nopenope. 3G works fine.
Any help? If you need more details just ask.
EDIT - Just forget what I wrote. Seems like my ISP router went nuts. I forgot to try a router hard reset before posting. I just tried and it's working again.
At least my Nexus is still going nice
