Flashed up to 2.24 last week and am really loving it, but, I can't connect to my router. I have no security on the router. I turn on wifi on the mda, it tries to find a network but doesn't. After I try this, my entire wifi network goes down and I have to reboot the router. After reboot everything works fine until I try to connect with the mda again. It worked fine before the upgrade, any ideas??
btw the router is running in mixed mode, and I don't really care if I can't connect in G mode.
So, I think I messed something up. I replaced my wpa_supplicant file with a hacked one in order to recognize and connect to Adhoc wireless signals such as the on from my E4GT phone. It seemed to have worked, but I realized that there was an issue with the tablet consistently scanning even after it connected. I decided to go back to my previous wpa_supplicant which I had backed up. I kept getting an Error when attempting to connect to my home's wireless network. So I figured a Full re-installation of Overcome 1.1.0 would do the trick. Voila! It's working again!
However, I realized that my network doesn't sleep when the screen is turned off. I set it up under the Advanced Wireless Settings and still won't do it. I know it takes a while for the WiFi to actually turn off, but I have waited hours and it is still not doing it. I am running the same apps I was running before all this mess, so I doubt it is a specific app.
PLEASE HELP!
So yesterday I tried to update my nook color rooted cm7 (not sure which version, but was used when nightly 177 was highest) to CM7.1.0-11162011-nightly-encore, but the thing is, my wifi would connect for maybe 5 minutes before it disconnects.
Then I would have to go to wifi settings to reconnect or sometimes it reconnects by itself. On my old version of CM7, the wifi was flawless. It would never disconnect like it does now, so I am sure it is not router problem.
Now it just says "out of range" when disconnecting. I tried the method where I forget all my networks and then connect again, but it didnt work. I also checked my adhoc = 0 thing from the root.
Anyone know why it is like that? I rooted my sd card with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 website.
since my wifi didnt work, i reformatted my sdhc card and set it up again, following the rules on the website including setting up wifi before installing gapps. Wifi still disconnects.
I have also tried using the update-cm-7.1.0-encore signed, which still doesnt solve the wifi problem.
Is this because the wifi goes into sleep mode even if the screen is on? Im pretty much on the wifi setting screen, and seeing the wifi go from connected -> disconnected -> scanning "loop". My wifi is set to sleep when screen is off, but it should still stay connected if my screen is on right? It just disconnects and reconnects constantly while I look at the wifi settings
Thank you for reading! please help..
Same issue. Wifi keeps disconnecting after about 5 minutes.
Have you tried deleting all of your old wifi spots?
Ok I fixed my problem by limiting my router to 802.11 g. Suddenly no more drops.
Yea I did the "forget" all wifi networks and it still disconnects.
Would it still be my router problem if the wifi stayed connected on my earlier version? The one before I upgraded to cm7.1.0.
Hmm. I had that issue until going into advanced wifi settings and changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never. Will keep monitoring.
Where did you find the advanced wi-fi settings? I go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi- Settings, but my choices are: turn on Wi-Fi, Network notification, and add Wi-Fi Network.
Also, I'm using [CM7.2-RC0] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod...I don't know if that would make a difference?
I assume you already figured out since you posted on the other thread.
I stock rooted using following guide:

Everything works great except for 2 annoyances:
Regardless of what drivers I attempt to use the phone will not mount into Camera/MTP mode (it does however connect as installer); and whenever I connect to a WiFi network it works fine while in range, but as soon as I go out of range, disconnect, or turn off WiFi I have to re-enter the key again.
Unable to turn on wifi hotspot.
My phone is in Nothing os 1.1.2
I tried resetting network setting, restart etc.,
Anyone else faced this issue?
Turn off Wi-Fi, than it should work.
Wow worked. Thanks.
My wifi was not connected to anyone but turned on.
I didn't think I had to manually turn off wifi before turning on hotspot.
