Struggling with the wi-fi connection - Galaxy Tab General

I've got my 8.9" tab today, but I'm not able to connect to the wi-fi network. I've found the network and I've typed the correct password, but my tab is just switching between scanning and getting an IP address.
I know the password is correct, had to type it on my phone earlier today and it worked just fine.

Try a reboot, are your security settings correct?

Need tons of help with Wi-Fi PLEASE

alright i need help connecting to my home wireless router. (and yes it is a wireless G router, i just installed that thing that lets it work with wireless G)
alright so here is what i do step by step.
1. hit the comm manager button, and hit WLAN so it connects.
2. choose my account
3. enter the network key
4. I hit settings, and i see i have a great signal
5. a pop up says "unable to assign a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings".
6. I hit settings in comm manager then hit wi-fi settings
7. I see all my info on the main button and i hit the advanced button
8. Status = associated to network... Mac address is filled in... IP says 0.0.0.0 and i can't change that.
if anybody can help me that would be great.
9. now after a long time of not doing anything, a pop up says the network key is incorrect. enter the correct key and tap connect. Except I know it was correct because i entered it very carefully, and all my info (#7) showed up.
somebody help me
try static ip allocation
start>settings>connections > network cards > WLAN card> IP, subnetmask, dns gateway...etc etc u know the drill
alright I put in all of those settings, but still when i turn wifi on, it still asks me for my network key, and still try's connecting to the normal WLAN.... ughhh...
Seems to me like your security settings arent quite right, but thats a guess. I had a similar problem with a PC when I had enabled MAC filtering. You don't have that turned on on your router do you.
To rule out (or in) security settings, I would disable my routers security and make sure I could log on to an open network, then go from there.
Oh I know i can log into an open network, I did at a coffee shop a little while ago. And I know I can connect to my router, my other computer is and so can my PSP.
I have a similar problem. I didnt have this problem a couple of weeks ago and managed to connect without a problem. However now I'm having the same symptoms as the first poster.
When I disabled the security setings on my router, I managed to connect and received an IP address. However DNS was not working. Explorer refused to bring up any page. I couldnt even access my router's home page using just the IP address. I even tried entering the DNS IP address manually but this didnt solve the problem. Skype managed to connect without a problem though.
Cheers

I had the same issue even after I turned off the security, mac filter etc. It would connect once but after a suspend, it wouldn't connect at all. I have a d-Link DI614+ router. Finally figured out that the MDA was not going thru the channels properly. I had my router set to 10 and it would not budge beyond 11. I just changed the router channel to default to 11 and turned on security and filtering one by one and everything worked. My advice is to set the router to a default state and attempt to connect it. If that doesn't work, throw a temper tantrum and remove all settings on the MDA and go thru step by step again...

Cannot connect to the Internet

My wizard has found my home router and has a strong signal but when i come to use msn messenger or ie it will not connect.
Any ideas?
'When connecting to a WiFi hotspot from a Windows Mobile device, you first turn on your wifi then the tower like arrow appears in the Start bar. Near the tower two oppositely pointed arrows keeps moving when connecting. These arrows should stay stationary meaning the network is successfuly connected. If you try using msn when the arrows are still moving, you'll end up seeing the device has no connection!

Carty..
looking at the wifi it is active. i've checked the settings and it has a valid ip address but still will not connect.
but the gprs for t-mobile will let me connect but it costs £££.
Is your wireless router security encrypted??
Mine is.
If I connect to wifi on my device at home, it will ask for my encryption passkey. Then I tell it to save. From that point I can connect at home no problem. Now if I re-flash my rom and forget to enter my passkey, my Wizard will recognize my wireless router, but will not connect until I remember to re-enter my encryption passkey for my router onto my Wizard.
This may or may not be your problem, but I hope it helps.
PS- I created a simple text document with my passkey on it and saved it onto my SD, so now all I have to do is copy and paste the passkey. Makes life much easier.

I set the network up and the only security on the network is MAC control.
It will not issue an IP address without a valid, recognised MAC.
My Trinity will access the wireless fine here but the Wizard won't.
Its issued with an IP, Gateway and DNS servers but won't access the net.
Same deal at another house where the network is WEP encrypted and the passkey is known.
I have the same problem. My Blue Angel works fine with WiFi on WEP, but my Wizard does not. If I disable all encryption, it works just fine. But I don't want to get rid of the encryption. Any ideas?

Cannot connect to my wireless network

Hi,
When I turned my HD2 on for the 1st time the device detected my wireless network and asked for the key to allow it to connect to the network I entered the details and everything seemed ok. However it is always showing a status of connecting it never actually connects.
I went into the wireless LAN settings and in advanced tab the IP is blank.
Can anyone please help?
Cheers, Dave.
I just think I have fixed it. I have installed the Advanced Config from Touch Experience and looking through network settings I noticed that WPA authentication was disabled and by default it is enabled. Changed and rebooted and I now can access PC's on the network and the IP is no longer blank.
Thanks, Dave J.

[Q] Wireless won't connect - Incorrect password

My focus will not connect to my Linksys 400N, I have both 5 and 2.4GHz channels enabled, and all other devcies on my net connect without issue. I correctly enter the WPA2 Personal passphrase, and the phone responds "Password incorrect" Reenter. AGAIN, I have selected "show password" I can see the password and know I am entering it correctly.
Ideas?

Have you tried entring the actual key instead of just the passphrase?
I had this problem too, but when I turned wifi off then turned the phone off and then back on then turning wifi back on and tried to connect it worked and has ever since. Hopefully that works for you. Not exactly sure why it worked after I did it but something I had to do when I had my Tilt2. Good luck
This happened to me as well when my router was too busy to process the DHCP request. I just got all the other devices in my house to stop using the network.
Then I disabled and re-enabled wi-fi and it connected without a charm.
Tap and Hold will allow you to delete the connection settings and let you retry if for some reason the password is corrupted.
I tried connecting my Tilt2's wifi spot with no luck. Bummer.
