H guys, my wifi won't connect to internet. It shows im connected to the hub, but won't let me connect to market, mail browser. It's only working if i go trough 3g. Any ideas, getting bit frustrated, i've searched on the internet bu can't find a solution.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. liza
Hello Liza,
Is it your home network or an office network? If it's office network then perhaps you need proxy settings...

if your on the 026 firmware i believe there is a wifi bug, so could be that
Im on 026. Never had anny wifi problems . Try to restart the ruter. If that dont help remove the wifi connectin profile for that rutter from your phone and the reconect.
And if that dont work . Do a factory reset on the ruter and yor phone

Hello,
does the WiFi connection break down if you loose your cell phone signal?
That would be the R2BA026 bug, which really annoys me because I'm living in the basement with low signal strengh
R2BA026 and have no problems at all.. switch off the router and then try again. Wifi at home work even the local coffee shop no problem.
good luck
i dont think this will work for your problem, but you should go into your wifi settings-menu-advanced-wifi sleep policy and select never
give that a try
Got the same problem, kinda.
I can see my network, but everytime i tell my x10 mini pro to connect it scans>connects>disconnects - and thats the cycle it does 24/7 - Nothing wrong with my router - 100% setup - nothing wrong with the x10´s settings..GG SE
sounds like a proxy problem or an authentication problem
What do l need to configure?

i dont think there is a way to tell it not to do it over 3g besides turning off your 3g antenna. the problem is it sees internet and grabs it from there. you can set sync times for when you will only be at work though and that may be close enough to what you are looking for
im having really weird problems accessing and downloading from android market. when i am using my phone network i dont have any issues at all, but whenever i try to access it using wifi all my downloads fail.
it's only the market i have a problem with, otherwise i can browse the net and download as normal using wifi.
any idea what the problem can be? remember, its specific ONLY to the market place
*apologies, this should be in the S2 thread
Once got the same problem on Galaxy S. It disappeared automagically after one day.
ok, i managed to get it working, but only by making my wifi connection open. if i have any encryption on my router i cant access the market.
judging by the lack of replies, i guess no-one has a clue?
try it on someone else's router
Happened to me all the time using the old market. I installed the newer version and the problem went away.
Also the encryption on your router should make no difference, this is transparent to the app.

router isnt the problem.
just noticed that my version of the market is 2.3.6, so looks like there's been quite a few updates that i have been missing out on, downloading now and ill let you know if it solves the problem

Hey guys noob here. Ive used the search option here which is usefull but i havent got a stright answer.. Anyways i have a home network thats wireless and i want to tether my phone to my desktop and use the home wifi not my 3g. But when i try that it just says no data network availible. Its trying to use my 3g. I know someone was trying the same thing but they fixed it themselves and didnt explain how they did it. My phone is a galaxy s i896 the first one so if there is any way to hack to force it to use the home wifi for tethering that would be great. Thank you.
Download an app called PdaNet from Market!
Google might be your friend here if the above solution doesn't resolve your problem. Haven't experience that problem.
yea pda net or easy teather both work good! and simple to install too

its a way to put phone wifi in AP Repeater mode ?
Hey Everyone,
I've seen posts about problems with YouTube constantly buffering on HQ and have tried every possible solution I've seen, but I'm still having issues. I am hoping someone can help me.
HERE'S WHAT IS INTERESTING... when I use my phone as a hotspot (T-mobile HSPA+) and connect my N7 to it, YouTube works absolutely fine, no buffering at all! What is up with that? The internet at my house is fast (Verizon Fios) and I can stream and play everything fine on my N7 except for YouTube videos. But, once again... YouTube works fine when I connect my N7 to my phone's much slower wifi hotspot! So, obviously YouTube (both the app and web browser have the problem, but the app seems a little worse) has a problem with my home internet connection. Does anyone have any ideas on how to diagnose and fix this? I've tried rebooting the router. The Verizon Fios box is a kind of "all in one" device, so I can't swap out another router. Is there any settings I can try, either on my N7 or somehow on the router itself (don't know much about routers)? Any ideas? The Nexus 7 is such a great device for watching videos, etc... it's really aggravating to not be able to watch YouTube videos on it.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

You're not the only one buddy. It happens to me as well. It's really annoying. When I watch YouTube videos on my PC it's quick and on the n7 you know..

I don't think its the device's fault but rather the application.

Thanks for the reply. I definitely realize that I'm not the only one. But, why does YouTube work absolutely fine on my N7 when I tether it to my phone (a much slower connection)? This means that YouTube CAN work on the N7. It just doesn't like some routers apparently, or something like that. And why does YouTube work fine for some people and not for others on the N7?
I doubt this is the problem, but your neighbors could be using the same channel as your WiFi. So their WiFi interferes with yours. You can download an app called WiFi analyzer. It will show you the channels you and your neighbors are using. It will also show you better channels than what you are on. You then go to the IP address of your router and change your channel.

Could be. Could even be microwave ovens or portable phones/base stations if the WiFi link is using 802.11b or 802.11g (or even 802.11n, depending), as they also overlap the same ISM bands that B and G use.
Resolving performance problems (as opposed to gross connectivity issues) is tedious work - the root of the problem can be in a very large search space.
With enough packet sniffing (tcpdump or Wireshark) you can sometimes ferret out network performance problems; but it's not for the faint of heart. Your eyes will bleed from looking at raw packet data without purpose-built tools. You have to follow the data where it goes, too - you don't know if the problem is delays as a result of small % of packet loss, or something more twisty than that. If the cause is a small % of packet loss, you would be looking for TCP segment retransmissions by the server, or duplicated ACKs from the client (tablet). The will occur along one link (e.g. WiFi) but much less frequently along a different link.
Sometimes problems can be detected by just looking at gross statistics on each network interface (e.g. /sys/class/net/wlan0/statistics/* on the tablet versus something equivalent on the router) - even easier to do if you can manage to clear the counters without rebooting as you can then run a "youtube test" right after clearing them to see if the drop/error counts are actually happening when you are using the app. Either that or just collect them twice (immediately before and after the youtube test) and use subtraction.
The OP might be able to prove it's not his ISP link if it is possible to use a OTG+USB Ethernet nic plugged in to the N7 (use ethernet to his home router instead of wireless), but I can't say I've tried this myself, and I suppose he probably would prefer not to spend money solving the problem if it can be avoided.
There are some tcpdump-based tools such as "Shark for Root" on the market. Not that using the phone itself for sniffing will be all that easier, but setting up a wireless sniffer is even harder and more expensive, and since the OPs router is an "all-in-one" box, the only way to intercept traffic off of it will be if it's admin tools allow you to dump traffic to a designated ethernet port. Not typical for consumer devices, but who knows.

To the extent that the YouTube app is unaware of which interface it is getting it's data from, that's a demonstration right there that the problem is probably not the N7 or the YouTube app. Could be your ISP or your home network.
Out of curiosity - does your phone do WiFi tether in Infrastructure Mode, or is this a USB tether? (afaik, the N7 doesn't work with ad-hoc WiFi tether... unless you've got some tricks up your sleeve).
hope some of that helped
I've also been having this issue since i got my N7. It happens on every single WiFi network I'm on. Using the web based YouTube doesn't help either. I was getting so aggravating today that i almost threw my tablet across the room.....

Thanks for trying to help! I tried the app you mentioned and experimented with changing channels accordingly. At first, I thought it may have been helping, but soon it came back the same. I do appreciate the help though!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that. I'm afraid most of it was above my head unfortunately. But, I'm trying to use your words to help me as I research at least
As for your question above, I think I may have used the word "tether" wrong. I just meant, when I use my phone as a wireless hotspot and connect to it on my N7 YouTube videos playback flawlessly, which seriously makes no sense. The wireless network at my house is much, much faster and I use it all the time to stream YouTube or hi-def movies to my TV (Netflix) without a hiccup. And my Nexus 7 streams Netflix as well just fine over my home network. It's just YouTube that is constantly buffering. Which would imply that it's the YouTube app... but, then why does the YouTube app stream fine when connected to my much slower phone connection? It's not making any sense!
I really appreciate you trying to help!
Thanks again,
Mebborne
Did you see this thread?
I wasn't aware of it when I responded to your post. Seems like you are in good company. I didn't read that whole thread, so I can't summarize or tell you if there are any fixes. OTOH, given the number of people saying "me too", I wonder if it is an ISP issue - purposely throttling of connections coming from youtube.
