So far the ones that I can connect to have security 'WPA/WPA2 PSK' and I can't connect to 'WPA2 PSK'.
I'm going to test this further.
I had to restore my MAC address. Before that I couldn't connect to any wifi network.
My IMEI is nulled also.
Anyone know what is flying?

I am having troubles with my WiFi connection.
Whenever I enable it, no data works. I see it does pull an IP address from my Windows Server 2008 DHCP server, but no dice from there. Other devices work fine.
Most APs on my network are TrendNet. I have an Asus and it won't even connect with that one.
Is there a way I can get more diagnostic information on the WiFi connection?
I'll be going to a friend's shortly that will have a different brand of DHCP and AP, so we'll see how they play.

Wifi connected fine for me on my 2wire router on AT&T uverse. Data and all worked perfect.
Phone is connecting and receiving an IP and strong signal no problem, but can't get any type of internet to connect (imo/opera/market/facebook app etc...) there's no proxy or password... Notebook and other computers are using the network fine.
Any suggestions?
nm.. got it.. had to set DNS in wifi -> advanced.
you can ask for help to the sellers.
Check on the router, whether your phone is correctly connected. Try to download from the market some wifi software, that gives more information about connection - i. e. Wifi Manager.
Do you use official firmware or a custom one?
The DNS information should have been provided as part of the DHCP request.
Any firewalls?
Does the phone work on other wifi networks?

Hello, been a long time reader from my G1 to my G2 and now my nexus 4.
I am unfortunately not able to use my device on certain wifi networks which is a real bummer.
Being that i have a background in diagnosing computer problems in my real world life, i thought i would post my findings as i found some interesting things!
First i will say that the network i will use as the demonstration is secured with WPA2 PSK AES security and encryption.
I can connect to it and often find i have problems on the first connect to the network. By this i mean if i have made my wifi settings 'forget the network' and then try to connect again.
On the first time it seems to indefinitely hang, showing the message 'authenticating' on screen next to the network and if i long press on the network name and press modify, the dialog shows that i have a link speed of 1mbps.
I can usually get past this by turning wifi off and on and then reconnecting, at which point it will connect straight away and have a normal link speed. (in this example 72mbps).
After i am connected, i find that the following does not load:
-browsing webpages through chrome does not load
-the wifi icon turns grey
-play store cannot load anything
I find that i get assigned an ip address by dhcp correctly too with the right gateway and dns.
I decided to download a network tool to have a better look. I use fing personally.
I found it very interesting what i found, which no other threads about wifi issues mention.
Network discovery found every device on the local wifi network.
I was able to scan the services of my computer which is also on the network and it found everything, including a http server which i run which i could browse to.
In fact i could do everything through wifi with this device and most others.
Again it got interesting when I then took a look at my gateway, the router.
I had discovered its mac address which i can verify through my computer is correct which to my understanding, being that i can communicate through the wifi, means that i have the information available to send information to that physical device?
When trying to scan services, i find nothing, which is not true, at the very least it exposes a http server on port 80 which my computer can access.
When trying to ping i have 100% packet loss.
So at this point it is only the gateway i cannot access.
So i figure i could setup another computer which is connected to the network with a wire to share its connection through wifi onto that network and then i have a standin gateway?
I connected this computer through wifi to the network and pinged it succesfully with my phone. I then turn ICS on my wired adaptor to share to my wifi adaptor. I ensure that the wifi maintains an ip address in the right range and subnet.
I then try to ping that ip with the phone and it then gets 100% packet loss.
Could this be that when a device is configured to act as a gateway something changes about how it handles any packets sent to it that the nexus 4 is currently in compatible with?

I have found a bit of a workaround that i can use!
When i said i turned on the wifi and ICS i did the following:
-Turned on wifi.
-Connected to wifi network.
-Turned on ICS on my wired network to share to my wifi
-Observed that my ip changed from 192.168.10.x to 192.168.137.1 with no gateway or dns.
-I decided to change my ip on the wireless to 192.168.10.x and gateway to my router 192.168.10.10
-I then tested.
I ran through this again but slightly different:
-Turned on wifi.
-Connected to wifi network.
-Turned on ICS on my wired network to share to my wifi
-Observed that my ip changed from 192.168.10.x to 192.168.137.1 with no gateway or dns.
-I decided to change my ip on the phone to 192.168.137.5 with gateway and dns as 192.168.137.1
-I then tested. And it works!
I know this doesnt fix the wifi issue itself, but for me, this makes a big difference as i can now use wifi at work where we also have poor mobile network coverage.
Edit:
Additionally i previously tried to setup this same computer to host a wifi network to share the connection using 'netsh' and creating a 'hostednetwork' but i found i was in the same situation where i still couldnt get the internet.
i have G7 L01 with kitkat version suddenly i cant connect with my network at home throgh wifi mobile
the wifi see the network and cant connect with it
i changed the network name and its password then forget all of the network from my mobbile and connect with the new network also cant connect.
Maybe the your device is blacklisted, log into your internet providers's website with your IP and check for any blacklisted devices.. Happened to me once lol, not proud of it..
