I've had my kindle since jan 2012. I have rooted it and its been running great for almost 2 months. Last night all of a sudden it wont connect to my home wifi, I get the "error in connection" pop up. Then it says unab;e to connect to the selected access point. Please check the password you had provided.
I know the connection works as my phone and 2 laptops are connected. It was working fine the all of a sudden it wasn't
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have already turned off and on the device. It will connect to other networks..... just not mine.
Have you gone into it and clicked forget network and then try to reconnect to it?

I have a strange poblem with Wifi. Whenever I try to connect to any accesspoint, secured or otherwise, it displays "CONNECTING" for a while, then reverts to "AVAILABLE". Once in a while, by resetting or turning wifi off and on, Ill be able to connect and then everything is fine. But the moment I trun wifi off and back on, or suspend the unit the error returns.
Update: this is getting even wierder. I am able to connect to _secured_ networks without a problem, but I still cannot connect to unsecured ones.

it would help if you post your GSM/ROM version and to what kind of network you are trying to connect ?
Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.

I have a problem with my Nook Color's Wifi.
I received my refurbished Nook on Monday, and installed cm7 that night. I've got it overclocked at 1.2ghz and running smoothly for the last 3 days without any hangups or any other signs of problems.
The wifi was working great until this morning. Now, when I turn my WiFi on, it hangs on the Connecting... notice under Wi-Fi, and it eventually goes to Disconnected, and none of the nearby networks show up. The message then continually cycles between Connecting and Disconnected.
I was wondering if this was a fixable problem? Or if this is a damaged hardware issue.
I've taken a (bad) cell phone picture of the WiFi screen where it shows both the Connecting... message and Disconnected one. The top network "Commodore" should be active, and both my laptop and phone are connecting to it just fine right now. I've attempted rebooting and turning the device off for 15 minutes.
I'm really hoping I don't have to return and exchange, because I really like the Nook Color, but without WiFi I just simply can't use it.
1. activate wifi
2. go to wifi scanning
3. remove one secured SSID
4. add a secured SSID: generally your own one.
It disable airplane mode and everything is back online.

This fixed mine too... weird
Anyone know why this does this? how can it permanently be fixed? CM7.2 ?
Hi guys.
first my wifi became unreliable, it disconnected, didn´t reconnect sometimes etc...
now, it´s not working anymore at all.
when i go to wi-fi settings it says turning on, then the red arrow appears, then immediately it says turning off. down there comes a message "unable to scan for networks"
i searched the whole forum, but didn´t find a simlar problem.
i reseted it to factory, didn´t help.
it can´t be a router problem, ´cause all the other devices on the wifi work, even my friends myt4G.
any tricks or ideas anyone?
i got this form a friend in the states, bought last december, he ment, in the US they have mostly only 90 days warranty, in germany we got 2 years.. is this true..?
stock rom. 2.3
Try chaning the channel on your Wifi Router. Most of the new routers you can go to routerlogin.net from a computer that is connected to the router and change the settings. I had the same problem and it appeared all of my neighbors were using the same channels i was. I move to a different one and haven't had a problem since. It will not affect the SSID or the password So all of your login it stuff will stay the same. Any WAN connected device just might lose signal for a second or two while the router changes channels.
thx. channel was on auto. changed it to 11 out of 13. didn´t help. also, i have only 3 wifis in my neighbourhood, i can get with my pc. on the htc, it shows only mine + the direct neighbour..
it seems that wasn´t he prob here...
could it be a hardwareprob? anyone any knowhow on american warranty?
the wi-fi button is almost not responding anymore.. when i turn it off, it turns itself on again, when i go into wifi settings, ist keeps truning on and off again in an endless loop....
edit: tethering does also not work anymore. when i click on portable wif hotspot, it says error...
hardwarefailure?
i found these guys who have the same problems.

seems to be a gingerbreadissue... perhaps i´ll try downgrading first.
so i downgraded to 2.2.1 and it worked. got to bed, woke up, not working anymore "unable to scan for networks" again
Hi Goodeve, I need help for my phone Samsung S2. My phone cannot connect to my home wifi but my brother's phone and laptop can connect smoothly. When I'm turning my wifi on its only saying 'Scanning' and our home wifi is 'Not in range' but sometimes our home wifi is coming but whenever I try to connect it only says 'Connecting...' then 'Disconnected' then 'Scanning...' again. Please Help, Thanks

Maybe a stupid question, but are you sure you got the right password in?
Have you tryed connecting to other wifi's with your phone ?
Check if you can connect to other WLANs. If you can, you probably got the password wrong. If the password is right, try setting your password encryption to AES if it's on TKIP. You can also try logging in without password (for test purposes only, please) andl ogging in with a fixed IP.

You can try a few things
=>Delete the access point and re-enter the password and join
=>Factory reset your Device
=>Check if your WiFi router broadcasts in a/b/g/n
Hope this helps
