Is there a WIFI for dummies sticky here at XDA anyplace?

I did a search for WIFI, and only found some few 1,892,361 threads. It was a little daunting, so here I am wondering if we have a One-Stop-Shopping WIFI sticky that will break down how to use the WIFI on my X01HT.
I can see my home network with my TyTN. After I enter in the network key I'm still locked out without an explanation (yes I verified the key is correct). My TyTN just goes back to seeing my network as available
Soooo I'm thinking that I'm not the only person with WIFI issues. Sticky ... someone?

Thanks for the idea shogunmark, but that's disabled by default.
Use IEEE 802.1x network access control
EAP type ???? dunno what this is.
linksys wrt54g ver6 router
HTC SoftBank X01HT w/TyTN ROM

There are several open networks around me (i live in an apartment building on the second floor) but I cannot connect with any of them

as an experiment try this..
exp 1. on your phone, go to connections and make sure you choose the "My Isp" connection (just in case your provider uses proxy, this wont prevent you from connecting to your router, but if a successful connection is made, it can prevent you from browsing)
exp 2. Turn off the security on your router and try to connect again.. this will help determine what is causing the issue, maybe its the phone, maybe its the encryption...
if neither of the above work then try this..
exp 3. put the phone in flight mode, then turn on the wifi and try to connect..
and i havent seen to many issues with the hermes and the linksys wrt54g, however i know there have been several other users with different phones have issues with these routers... but i think we can get you figured out here...

Lol ... I followed your instructions but a new problem came up last night. In the process of 'fixing" my WIFI issues I "fixed" my wireless network ... it ain't working now either
I'm going to host a new thread looking for wrt54g/hermes users to share with me their settings. I'll even add a paypal bounty for the post that fixes my woes.
I'm posting through a neighbor's WIFI connection right now which means I should be able to pick up this same connection with my hermes right? Not!?!?!?
SO now I have managed to not hook up my new toy and kill my own wireless network all in one night *shakes his empty valium bottle with a look of longing*. I think this is why God invented prosac.

For the record, reception of WiFi on the Hermes is really not terribly strong. That might be your problem all by itself.

i dont have a linksys (i wasnt that dumb, lol) i mean, i went another route but if your willing to, i wouldnt mind checking this out with you... if you want to you can pm me and we can set up remote admin on the linksys and take it from there...

I'd go to linksys.com and download./install the latest firmware. Make sure you reset everything back to factory defaults and start from scratch.
My Wizard and my Hermes, both on WM6, work with WEP on the Linksys wrt54G and my sonicwall tz150. Personally I prefer DLink now for low end wireless routers/access points but that's me
btw, I love your stickie Mike!

Woohoo so I now have my network back up.
All is well with my hermes too. Now if i can get skype to run I'll be a happy person.

Still cannot connect to anything with my hermes though. Even if I'm a few feet from my wireless router ... still nadda.
I'm thinking that this rom is somehow not as good as some of the others. The tytn rom is what I have ... any suggestions for a rom that will do better?

Your sig indicates that your WM6 came "preloaded"... which ROM is it? (there are quite a few here...) If you don't know then I suggest that you read the WIKI and the stickies and such and then flash a newer ROM.
At least that's what I would do.

Networking problem, need help please

Help,please.
Meet the problem. Transformer connected to my home wifi network. All devices in network connected to the internet, except Transformer. Manually configured network. I tried different wifi networks. All wifi networks successfully connected, but without internet. It looks like transformer could not route. i could not ping machines in the same network. Is there anybody who has same problem??
Thanks in advance
P.S. Who knows how to make routing table? Transformer connects to wifi, can ping himself but could not ping gateway in the same network.
It happend when i started playing with ROMs. Installed different ROMs with super wipe (Revolver, Revolution HD, Megatron, ICS WW_epaduser9_2_1_24, same problem.

have you tried switching the router off for a few minutes and rebooting it?

O yess, many times. If it is router problem, then all other machines could not connect to internet over wifi. Only Transformer could not, and tested on 3 different wifi networks (with and without DHCP)

probably wont help, but what about Kernel - have you tried different Kernels?

I tried different kernels, (Kernel-ICS-V22.6-OC1700-fb-AOKP_646, kernel_asus_rev01) but what kernel would you suggest?

if those have not worked then i doubt any others will. Rev3 Harmony (asus or universal) depending on which base your going to try - or the latest Guevor, version depending on base again.
Wifi is not my thing but thought id ask the obvious just incase. sorry i cant help more but im sure someone will be along soon :good:

WTF.
Installed Kernel Guevor N22.6 and Revolver 4.0.3 ROM. Same problem. Connected to wifi but no internet.
Even I disassemble Transformer and reconnected batteries. Does not help
Is it possible that hardware problem in wifi? Why in that case wifi connected? Magic.

First try turning air plane mode on then off to see if that works also your network may not like androids long default host name so consider changing that if you have root

What router are you using? make sure your using channels 1-11 (not 12 or 13) and check your on 2.4 GHz not 5 GHz

For the present test im using connectify soft and share my internet over my laptop. And it worked before. I installed busybox and did some commands. It looks like oruting table is correct, def gateway is pinging, interface is up. But could not connect to any site over integrated brower, could not connect to youtube or playmarket or gmail. Attached is screenshot. Maybe i lost something.

No one, who can give me any advice??
I reflashed Transformer up to latest ICS WW 9.2.1.27. Did not help. Still connected to wifi, but could not access to internet.

giving your router configuration and brands, could help I think...
in my period of owning a transformer, there are one place at where I live where it can't connect to.. a free wifi at a restaurant.. it just cant't, it detects but it can't connect.. the channel was within 1-11, but still not connectable.. I've tried different roms and kernel, still to no avail.. while my other device can connect to it just fine... maybe there are some router that transformer not compatible with..

Problem is that transformer could connect to wifi network without any problem. It shows that connected to internet, but could not open any site or youtube or gmail.

[GUIDE] How to setup VPN for game streaming

I got VPN working on my shield... Quality is pretty good over LTE although with a lot more audio delay but that could just be LTE.
Step 1. Go to the Network and Sharing center and click the Change adapter settings button

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2. Press file -> new -> New Incoming Connection. Mirror settings below
Select user that you use. This will have the same user/pass as your computer
Step 3. Go to settings on your shield. Go to more -> vpn -> plus button (you may have to set a pin or pattern if you don't already)
Enter a name, your external ip address (or dynamic dns)
Step 5. Open the port TCP 1723 and GRE on your router. On fios actiontec this can be found in Port Fowarding and using the "PPTP" preset service.
Step 6. Click the new VPN entry on your Shield. Login and if all goes well it should say "Connected" YAY!

Great instructions, but my streaming PC isn't being detected.

NICE! Thanks.

should be noted that PPTP issn't secure. Same works for me via IPSec

Oh. My. God. I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!! My Galaxy Note ll has full bars of T-Mobile LTE at my job. (Speedtests of 40MB/s and above). My home internet is 170mb/s and above. This is PERFECT! (Also note that the G-Note ll has unlimited data tethering as I work for TMO lol).

I have unlimited tethering too! (As long as I use a vpn!
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app

It will work better if the computer accepting the vpn connections has a static ip

ok so am I forwarding to the IP on the shield or on the pc?

the pc you are using to accept the vpn connection

My isp is a jerk and I don't have access to the router configuration. Having the hardest time getting this set up since I have to tell them what to do over the phone. They apparently don't see anything on gre. Just Ip, forward port, and protocols TCP, UDP, and both

I probably do not have the same router, so the configuration isn't going to be the same. either way, I'm doing it over the phone because my ISP won't give configuration privileges, even if you have your own router.

what model router do you have? Also it will still be port forwarding and General Routing Encapsulation that need to be configured.

I have a comtrend Nexuslink 3100u. Its the isp's provided modem/router.
I never got the GRE setting figured out. So I tried setting an IP range in the IPv4 properties of the incoming. I now have a VPN, but I still can't access my streaming PC.

I've noticed after I got connected through the VPN my geforce PC was coming up as offline when I looked but when I tried to launch steam it seemed to work and launch all my games, it can get a little funky though sometimes it just won't work other times it works fine

Yup. I've been toying with it a bit now and I got it to work. I could probably use a bit more upload speed on the local side.

Am I reading this right? Does this allow usage of the streaming feature while not being local?
As mentioned above it says sound is way off, but what about the video?

My home internet runs the upload speed at 1mbps. Not great. If I run the hotspot from 3 bars of 4G on my phone to my shield, I can stream my pc games to my shield at a playable speed.

I seem to have a problem if I'm a certain distance from my house on 4g hotspot it always disconnects in the middle of a game, could it be because of my home internet connection

That's awesome to hear, especially since in my experience my hotspots tend to have a higher latency than regular connections. By the way after the audio update how is the audio sync with video on your hotspot? What would you estimate your average latency to be from your input to action taking place in game?

[Q] Built in VPN client GN3 connection issue

Hi there,
Has someone find out how to make the vpn client work ?
I have a Mac Mini with OS X server running with a VPN server set on LT2P. With my GN3 when I try to connect, I cannot connect to the VPN server at all.
When using an iphone 5 with the same settings, it connects.
I have tested several times and for me it seems that the VPN client is faulty. The problem is that I cannot have any details/errors when I am trying to connect with my GN3.
Do you have the same issue ?

My N9005 has same problem

Do you know any VPN client that supports LT2P ? Cannot find decent one on Google Play.
I hope that Samsung will fix this VPN client. Maybe I will switch to OpenVPN if the issue is still there.

Not sure if we're having the same issues but I'm having problems getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Verizon on the corporate VPN at my workplace. We have Cisco Ipsec Xauth w PSK. I brought the issue up with the carrier but they hadn't heard of anything. I took my phone into the store and verified with the demo unit in the store that it wouldn't connect. We verified that a demo Samsung Galaxy S4 connected no problem on the same Verizon wifi hotspot. As soon as you hit connect, the Galaxy Note 3 flashes connecting for like 1-2 secs then says disconnected. This is with the built in VPN app. I tried with vpncilla from the Google Playstore. It shows a false "connected", it doesn't reach anything on the corporate network. Checked the VPN logs never see it connect, but you do see when the user disconnects the false VPN "connection". If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What is your system build information, CSC, AP and device model?

I have found a good application which is working perfectly.

Hi k-bull
I have tried your link without any success. Even with the last update for osx server it cannot connect to the VPN server, whereas I can do it with an ipad, a macbook air and an iPhone.
Here is the screenshot (4g powaaa) of the admin parameter added.

i think samsung messed it up in the rom...
i get the same behavior as everybody here, it says connecting for 1-2 seconds and after that right away disconnected...
any workarround for this?
i would like to use the integrated function, because i dont wanna buy a expensive vpn app if its already built in and most importantly, i want to automate it with tasker, but that only works with the built it vpn not any third party app.....

Has anyone tried VPNCilla? It's on the Google market. I'm using it and it seems great, but I can't find my chromecast when I'm connected to vpncilla. ugh. Would love a wok around.

For what purpose you are trying to use it?
connecting to internet ?
Sharing files with other devices in the network?
Why you dont just go ahead and connect to your router wifi connection?
If you are trying to get an connection to the world wide web, There is WiFi and 3G + 4G
so my question is :

Just for fun.
Experiment.
Xda is a developer site/forum so expect more thread like this.

It's actually a cool idea and I remember once trying to have it configured (USB_RTL8152) for an adapter I have (and for another phone).
By that time I could not get an eth interface to appear. I will ask if it can be configured in Moun_Kernel (which I use but do not build myself).
About why: I rsync entire device content (internal and external SD, including TWRP and Titanium backups) to a local server as incremental backup and sure a gigeth would be much faster than a shared wifi access point.

It's USB 2.0 so you won't get gigabit speeds from it.
If it works, expect to see 20-30 MB/s

One practical use of this would be replacement of router, as without power the router is useless, while with mobile, wifi can be available for a couple of hours as hotspot. For rural places like mine.

and the speeds would be better too compared to wifi hotspot. im going to try this out actually i mean, if connection could be shared trough that adapter to another device

I would like to confirm that I actually plug TP-Link USB to Ethernet UE200 to my Xiaomi Mi A1 and it work straight away, note that you need a good USB Type C to USB Type A OTG module to use it
