Hi Guys,
I have a Vodafone branded GS2 that came with KE1 out of the box. I have flashed the phone to the stock KE7 rom but have run into a problem with wireless G.
When connecting to the access point it connects fine and gets a valid IP. I am able to ping the router and devices on the network can ping the phone but the phone is unable to view web pages or access the store etc.
On wireless N i get none of these problems. The G problem is occuring both at home and work.
Any Ideas?
thanks,
Ed
a long shot, but try changing the security type on your router. some hardware works better with TKIP
The thing is it is multiple routers where I have the problem. Will try my spare router I think.
I am not sure whether we have G radio at work, but I have the same problem. At least it is working fine when I fill IP, gateway, mask, etc. manually. So, it looks like only DHCP is not working properly (maybe only gateway is wrong, because it says I am connected, but it is unable to load web pages).

Hi All,
I too have a strange WiFi issue. Here goes:
My phone is able to connect to free WiFi stations and the WiFi station at my parent's place. When I try to connect at home, it connects but I am unable to browse.
I previously used WEP encryption and have also tried removing all encryption...but no luck.
Here are my current router settings:
Band 2.4 GHz B+G
Mode AP
Channel 9
Authentication Open
Preamble type Long
Broadcast SSID Disable
Encryption None
Use 802.1x Authentication Disabled
Phone Details
HTC Touch
Browser Netfront/IE
My laptops, DS Lite, Wii can connect and work with the router...
Any help will be highly appreciated
Check that you don't have MAC ADDRESS FILTERING at the router. It may be hidden under Filter settings, like my D-Link is. This may sound trivial, but more than once I forgot about the MAC filtering.
If that doesn't help you, then just to narrow it down, at my home I use WEP and disable SSID broadcast also, and my Touch can connect fine, and fast.
Scratch the last post! I had the same problem with my TOUCH..Just put the power level to the max (i.e. go Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN -> Power Mode -> and slide all the way LEFT to Best Performance) and all hail ..your problem solved
I also use a Touch. I put the slider all the way to the right (Best Battery) and I connect fine. You people must have a big house, or a crap router?

Wifi Problem!
Hi guys,
I've got a problem and I'm hoping you can help me out..
I've got a HTC TOUCH and when I got it the Wifi connection was working just fine.. I could connect to any WIFI network and Browse the internet.
After a month or two, my phone wouldn't connect to my home wifi network anymore. And neither would it connect to any other wifi networks (I tried!)..
I've been all over the internet trying to figure out what could have happened and if someone else was having these problems to.
I just can't find the answer and I feel like I already tried everything I could think of..
Hope some of you knows what to do..
I'd suggest looking at the Touch forum... I've got no experience of Touch devices, but it may be a Radio ROM issue...
kinda same issue I am facing ! donno
MY HTC TOUCH never connects to NETGEAR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
but finds LINKSYS routers in a jiffy :O
are Wireless Access Point and.. Wireless routers different
they both emit diff. signals ?
I have the same issue with a TYTN II, can connect to the wireless, but can't open any web pages.
problem with htc & WPA-PSK passkey 25 characters
My htc tilt connects almost everywhere, but i have a problem with wpa-psk at work. The password is from 25 characters, I read some articles what WM cannot handle such length. Maybe it's possible to edit somehow the registry?
I have the same problem guys, what can we do to find a solution i tried everthing i could, and i even tested it out with my 2 wireless routers, and at public places it connects (at home it doesnt connect though).

Thanks a lot!
I had exactly the topic problem with manilla rom on my kaiser, could not use wifi any more. But with just sliding the meter to 'Best Performance' as suggested, wifi it once again works like a charm.
HTC Touch wifi solve
I had the same problem with my htc in WEP it dosen't browse, I changed the router to a better wifi protection like WPA-PSK, connected and worked fine, for some reason it only work's fine for a couple of minutes, I readed this post to put the sidebar in best performance and now everything works fine. An advice don't use WEP it's not secure at all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_security maybe you fine this interesting and helpful.
I'm running into a problem were I can connect to an AP at work and surf the net fine but when I disassociate I cant connect to it again for a whole day. The AP must be saving some info and therefore will wait for the DHCP lease time to finish before allowing the touch to re-connect. I tried my laptop and was able to connect 3-4 times and never have a problem so it is isolated to the touch and windows mobile 6.1. To find some more info out I was able to clone the mac of the touch and use it as the laptops wifi cards mac. It connected fine on 3 consecutive tries.
Maybe windows mobile is missing some commands when disassociating from an AP and as a result leaving info out in nowhere land confusing the router.
Thanks for any help!
ok, here's me joining the club... dunno what happened... working one day, getting crap the next.
exact same problem as everyone else...connects to the wireless network, then when you try to surf, page cannot be found...
Exact same problem here.
In the beginning everything fine. Connecting to my home WiFi and using the internet without problems (weather, stocks, opera, email, google maps, even skype voip).
Then, last month, all programs are unable to find anything on the internet, although the device reports it is connected to my (unchanged) home WiFi.
All these programs work fine when the device is connected to the internet through activesync (usb cable).
Also this whole time I have been using my home WiFi with a laptop from both Vista and Ubuntu, with no problems, so I guess it's not the router.
Also have read in other fora about these wifi working - wifi not working "cycles" other people have had, with various WM devices. And various tricks like shutting wifi off and immediately on again.
I even hard reseted the device. Problem still there.
WTF?
Connected once only
Connected once only for a few minutes to my home router dir 310 D-Link, worked fine and fast. After that I closed the connection. Next day I tried to connect but my HTC Touch 3G doesn't see the router. I see any other routers, but I do not see mine. I connected to some friends routers with WEP and WPA encription just to be sure the phone working. During this I didn't changed the router or the phone settings. It is very strange. The problem maybe comes from the router.
I'm having the same issues with my HD2. Looking all over the place and seems to be a common fault, but thus far with no cure, I tried the power save mode
From new it worked like a dream, but then one day it would connect to AP's but act as if not connected. I flashed my ROM with the VERY impressive Merlion Leo v 2.66 and it all started working again. Then yesterday, it stopped again. I don't want to reflash, so I'm working hard to find a cure, and will report as soon as I find one.
---EDIT---
I've found a cure (for mine at least), not sure if it will work for everyone, and haven't managed to test it at any other AP's except for my home Router, but all I did was set the network card properties (Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter) to 'Use server-assigned IP address' instead of 'Use specific IP address'. I'm not sure why this worked as there was no IP address conflicts because there were no other devices connected to my router when I had problems, but it works for me, hopefully permanently
Good luck.
Try this. Its work perfect for me!

Hey Guys....I'm new to this forum, and it's already been a great help to keep my wizard going!
I have a new problem, that I'm not sure how to approach...I'm using IPL/SPL 3.08 + 2.71 Radio on the T-Mobile version of 5. (I'm at&T tho...)
Whenever I try to wi-fi into my home network, it finds my network, and tries to connect, but never gets an IP address assigned to it. I know it's not a hardware issue, because I've connected to other networks in the past.
I'm pretty sure there's a configuration problem some where (I'm using WPA security, but I couldn't connect even when the wireless was wide open) but I don't know if the configuration problem is on my router or on my phone. Any ideas??
Thanks for the awesome forum!!
Can you get hold of a laptop or another wireless device and see if this connects to your kit at home?
If it does then you know you have a problem with the phone, if not then it's the wireless router.
Yeah, I have a couple other wireless devices that connect wirelessly to the network already + I connected my phone to my parent's wireless a few hours ago...so it's gotta be the router, but I don't know what I have to change. Any ideas?
I myself have the same problem, I can connect, and MAYBE look at one or two pages, my phone then loses the IP and never re-leases it from the router....I aswell have other wireless devices that connect fine(such as this laptop that im typing this on lol)
Phone specs:
Cingular 8125
TNT 6.1 Pro/with TouchFREE
IPL/SPL 2.26.olip
SIM Unlocked
I have the same problem. phone connects and gets an IP but as soon as i try to go on the Internet, it stops working and then eventually tries to dial a connection.
I wonder if a static IP address would work for these issues?
Could you update the phone's Wifi profile for your router to a static address instead of a DHCP address then configure the router not to lease the phone's IP address to any other device.
any idea where to set static IP/DHCP on the wizard running 5.1?
I have my Tattoo rooted with 1.6 (can't recall the ROM name) with build number 1.67.405.6. Almost everything works fine except the connection with my home WiFi network. It's a PPPoE connection through ADSL modem. Next in line is the Netgear WG602 v3 WiFi router. At the beginning I couldn't connect at all so I changed the router's ROM to DD-WRT. Now I can connect with the router but no connection to the internet whatsoever. I can ping my router through my Tattoo, I can even open the 192.168.1.1 and mess around with its software but no connection to the internet. It is only limited to my Tattoo as I can connect through my laptop, through my other mobile (HTC S710) and also I can connect my Tattoo with any other WiFi (Secured or Open) with no problems at all.
I tried with no Security, with WEP, with WPA-PSK to no avail. Any other clues?
try running htc mail while you are using your wifi throuf your tattoo it worked for me
What is supposed to happen if I do that? I'm trying it as soon as I get home btw.
Nothing happened
Hi all...sorry for my interference but this problem is similar to mine.
I'm going mad from many weeks trying connect my Huawei Ideos (U8150) to my home wlan through a netgear VG602v3 AP. No way to do this.
Wifi works from my laptop and from my girlfriend's laptop, but from ideos it doesn't.
I turned off all wireless device in my house, I tried with/without WPA, I tried open network from channel #1 to channel #13, tried changing ssid and I also tried praying .
There is a weak wifi near here: it is on channel #1 and its power is between -89 and -82db. My wifi power (data from kismet) is between -50 and -18 db and is configured on channel #11.
In any cases, even if I put my Ideos near to AP antenna the story is ever the same:
- Ideos indentify the wifi network
- Ideos acquire the IP
- I open the browser or the android market and...
- Ideos lose connection...and so on.
I downloaded from work wifi (crypted with WPA) a wifi scanner from app store: it shows me the neighbour's weak wifi and my wifi network which appear and disappear recurrently.
Please, someone helps me (without suggest to buy another AP!!), any suggestions are welcome!!
Have you tried logging into the router and checking the privileges for devices. Some of them have a security element that restricts the use of the internet on newly connected devices until the setting is changed. I had a similar problem with a new laptop.
hope it helps.
I checked every setting to no avail. I still think somehow that my problem is with my router or adsl modem which doesn't connect automatically with PPPoE and Android doesn't have any command or software to initiate a PPPoE connection.
Other than that... Can't find any solution. Until then, I use connectify on my Win7 laptop. The thing is that I have to keep my laptop switched on as long as I'm in the house.

thank you for suggestion. I looked in depth but I did not found the option of which you were talking about. The unique solution still remains change the AP!!!
WiFi and Netgear Router
I think I finally found the answer. It appears Netgear routers support something called WiFi Multimedia. Its a QOS methodology. I disabled WiFi MM or WIMM as its sometimes called, as well as Internet QOS and all my problems connecting to web pages, the market, etc. through WiFi disappeared.
Strange that older versions of the ROM supported WIMM (or ignored it) and newer ones don't. But that solved the problem for me with no real degradation of performance on any of my other computers.
Good luck.
The strangest thing I have even experienced, and perhaps can save you time and headache.
** Summary (for those not wanting to read the whole story, but just the fix)
If your HD2 Android can connect to your home WiFi but cannot access Internet, check if your WiFi network uses a 192.168.20.x IP subnet address. The HD2 Android's USB port uses the same subnet, causing a conflict. If you change your home WiFi to use any other subnet, it will work fine.
** The Long Story
Been reading and admiring all the Android developments in XDA-Developers for some time, finally decided it was time to give it a try. Picked one of the more popular and stable MDJ Froyo (Desire HD) for SD and loved it.
Problem is couldn't use the Internet via WiFi from my home. Internet via GPRS works fine, Internet via USB/PC works fine, just not WiFi. The connection to WiFi is successful, picks up a DHCP IP address just fine, but no Internet.
Oh well, perhaps there is a WiFi bug in HD2 Android not reported so never mind.
Wait! On a business trip, when HD2 Android connecting to the hotel's WiFi, Internet works fine! Subsequently in many other places WiFi works also flawlessly.
Must be the WiFi router at home. Not too surprising as I don't use much wireless but wired all my other computers (including notebook PCs), it is faster anyways.
So went back and tested WiFi on a notebook PC (prior to that upgraded the WiFi router's firmware), PC connects and works, but HD2 Android still not. Tried all kinds of WiFi and encryption combination (BGN, BG, G only, WPA2, WPA, WEP), just nothing works for HD2 Android. >> Conclusion: not the WiFi router at home, just HD2 Android working with this particular WiFi router.
Finally (but forgot what app it was), I saw the USB port binding to 192.168.20.x subnet, exactly the same as my LAN subnet in the WiFi router.
Bingo, changed the LAN subnet to something else (really anything is fine because it is inside a NAT so not an issue getting out to the Internet) and HD2 Android works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
sorry, can you explain more where to change in the router settings? i can't find anything to change in my wireless settings
Look up the LAN (local area network setting) in your router, where the IP address for most WiFi router is set to use 192.168.0.1
In my case the WiFi router is set to use 192.168.20.1 (and DHCP to pass out 192.168.20.x IP addresses).
By changing the IP address of the router, most router automatically change the DHCP assignment to corresponding subnet, say from 192.168.20.1 to 192.168.x.1
x can be any of 0 to 255, just not 20 for my case or it causes conflict with HD2 Android.
Hi Dear friend , And Thanks for sharing experiences.
I have the same problem , but my router's setting is :
IP Address : 192.168.1.1
and my Starting IP Address : 192.168.1.100
IP Pool Count : 101
DHCP : Enabled
NAT : Enabled
Default Route : YES
but no webpage loaded , the weather not work . but the meebo messenger
with my yahoo ID just worked .
so how can i fix it ?
tnx
I notice the conflict (with my 192.168.2.x) when I checked the HD2 IP addresses (after connecting to the WiFi). When I see the USB port bound to 192.168.2.x I know the two just conflict with each other.
If something (meebo messenger?) works but not others... could it be your HD2 not getting name resolution (DNS ?). Say if you try opening this do you get the Google page:
http://74.125.153.104/
** This is Google's page without the need to resolve via DNS.

I cant get connected to that Wifi.. I make new conn, with password and other settings, and it keep saying : Connecting... Disconnected...
Any ideas to help me ?
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. I solved it by updating the radio to version 2.14.50.2. I think this version works best.
For me 2.15.50.14 works, too...
I recently got a new Xperia Play and everything works fine, and Wifi works fine on any router except the one in my house, where the phone connects and then I get a limited connectivity sign and the pages in the browser won't load, now I thought this was something with the router so I power cycled and everything but still same thing, I tried to allow the phone's MAC address through the router settings and it didn't even attempt to connect, finally I tried changing the encryption type but still no luck. I thought it was a problem with the router because the wireless computers can't connect either but wired works just fine, so I reset the router and set up the connection again with provided PPoE details and now the wireless PCs work fine but still the same problem with the phone and I recently rooted so I need wifi to be able to play the preloaded games again because I have to update them :S
PLEASE someone help!
