Alrighty then, here we go. I have just recently bought an a500, and I did the update to 3.1. I have no problems connecting to WEP encrypted networks, but it seems that every time I try to connect to my girlfriend's router, it goes from connecting to disconnecting to scanning and sits there for a while. I have a Tmobile G2 that connects just fine without any problems. What would be the best solution here, I'm stumped...

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.
Hey guy,
I haven't been able to have my Droid 2 keep a stable connection to my linksys secured with WPA. It connects for a second, the drops out, again and again. Any solutions?
do you have security enabled on your router? if so turn off or change the security and try it
also is your router set to look for mac address if so set it not to
Never mind. Apparently froyo has issues with WMM. I disabled that and it started working again.
Hey all, i've had my iconia tab for a few weeks now, and all is well except for one wifi issue. I can connect flawlessly to our wpa secured hotspot, but I've had no luck connecting to our actual router which is wep secured...any ideas?
Thanks, Chad
Hello,
First at all thank you for the help you provide here.
A week ago I got an AT&T GS4 (stock for now) and I use it at the office where we have two wifi routers connected using the same SSID to allow "roaming" across the office, they all are in separate channel but share the same SSID and Passkey.
Every time the GS4 it connects to a different router I get an authentication error message and the phone is disconnected from the network, then I have to re-enter the wifi password (though they are the same) and the phone connects to the network again. This did not happen with my prior phone (Inspire 4G with stock or Cyanogenmod) and does not happen with other's people phones (iPhones, HTC One), unfortunately mine is the only SG4 so I can not check if other SG4s have the same issue.
Checking the routers I see that this occurs when moving from one wifi router to the other, remember they both have the same SSID and password with different channels.
Any advise?
Thanks
Same here, "authentication error" with a similar configuration using two Buffalo Tech routers running dd-wrt. The S4 is the only device with issues, several iPhones, htc ONE, iPads, Blackberrie move from router to router seamlessly.
Anyone? thanks
Hi all,
I used to connect to my Vigor 2900Gi wifi router with my S4 without any issues. Today I reset the router to factory defaults, reconfigured, used the same SSID, but different password and I wasn't able to connect to it anymore. I tried to forget the network, restart the phone, restart the router, but nothing. All other devices at home connected without any problems (win7 laptop, macbook, ipad, iphone). I decided to try with new SSID, so I reconfigured the router again. This time I was able to connect with the S4, but had a problem with the windows laptop. So, I reconfigured for 3rd time, completely new SSID. Now I'm not able to connect with the S4 again. I see the network, but it gives me "Authentication error occured". I am 100% sure the password is correct. I tried to forget the the network again and everything, but still no go.
Can anyone help, please? It's really frustrating
(And i still have the problem with the windows laptop anyway)
