I really tried to find this answer before posting!
My Simple Touch was working fine with my home wifi until I rooted it. Now it can't connect. The signal is fine; the nook is right beside this computer which is connected fine. It says the signal is good. It just never connects.
I tried forgetting it and adding that network again.
Suggestions?

What firmware version are you running? B&N made a number of improvements to wifi in later versions. You might upgrade to a later version and see if that work better. If you want to completely reset to factory, there are instructions for doing so.
Also, sometimes it depends on your router. Mine had trouble connecting because it didn't send it's SSID. (this problem persisted with all versions.) Check your router settings (or get your parents to) and see how it's configured, and be sure it is compatible with the nook.
some router is better, my nook2 wifi is OK in my home but does not work in office

try another access point.
However, I have two of the same titans as you, and the same router.
one connects, the other does not.
I have asked many times on this site for help, but no response. the only difference is that the one that fails has updated roms.
it does not appear to be hardware, switch or other physical problems. I have tried several roms, and even flashing back to original. No go.
Wifi is all I can think about now, and if it was not for the service providers stupid data requirements, I would get a new smart phone.
I have a Mogul with Ryan Moguls Cricket lite 3.1/ radio 3.42.40 and I have the same basic problem. Only occasionally will my Wifi connect or detect my Access point (about 15 feet away). turning WLAN on/off doesnt seem to help. I have used other 6800's in the same environment with wifi working perfectly, so maybe it's a hardware problem. (although I have two 6800's right now with similar symptoms).
Any suggestions on how to check wifi antenna?
After connecting to 3 different wireless connections and none of then working, I'm concluded that my wifi isn't working.
I go to settings and check wifi on, it finds the network, connects, but I lose my entire data connection for the duration wifi is turned on!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
I'm having the same issues with the wifi. I downloaded wifi analyzer to make sure I was on a good channel. Set it to the best channel and my signal strength is 100%. I will be able to connect for a little bit but for some reason it goes in and out, connection unsuccessful, yada yada yada. I messed with all the troubleshooting solutions for my router (dgl-4300) but nothing works. If anyone can reply with a fix or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
Same Issues
Any help is greatly appreciated. Data working fine when on 3G but Wifi = no data. Connection is fine, IP is fine.
UPDATE: It's working again on my home WIFI. Will have to see if it's just an "at work" issue. Hopefully IT can assist.
Same problem with Verizon MiFi
I have had ZERO problems connecting to the Linksys access points we have setup at my home and my office, but recently my work provided me with a Verizon MiFi (as well as an iPad - don't hate ) and I've had MANY issues trying to get my Vibrant to consistently connect to the MiFi.
My iPad, Motorola Droid, and Laptop have no issues connecting to the MiFi.
On my Vibrant I'm running the 2.1 stock ROM with root & the latest ClockWork recovery.
It will "connect" to the MiFi (I use quotes because I can't really tell - it AT LEAST receives an IP). But I'm unable to send and receive data. I can't even browse to the MiFi's internal configuration page .
To FINALLY get it to connect consistently I have to do some kind of random combo toggling the wifi off and back on and then turning the MiFi off and back on and it will EVENTUALLY connect and stay connected with data flowing freely.
I've customized my configuration a little bit on the MiFi so I'm going to reset it back to factory and not change the config to see if it makes a difference - because at lunch I was able to connect to my boss' MiFi with no problem. I'm thinking it may either be the phone or the mifi...
I've connected to about 10 different wireless networks with NO issues, at all. The connectivity is actually much better than my G1/Nexus.
HOWEVER, last night at a bar I was connected to their wifi, strong signal, but I was not able to use Data. I was in a very poor reception area for T-Mobile... don't think that could be an issue, bit the other places I use wi-fi that is not the case.
I just chalked it up as a fluke and moved on. Not sure what was wrong.
I had this happen to me today. I just rebooted and it went away. Toggling wifi didn't help, but I only tried it once. The phone reboots so quick I figured I'd give it a try.
I have set the phone up manually with static ip. Seems like its a problem with the dhcp.

Hello everyone,
I checked the forums and I haven't seen anything like this, but I'm hope my situation isn't unique.
So I got the Nexus 4 and I love it. I have it linked to my wi-fi at home and the campus wi-fi. Every time I got to the college campus it links just fine. However, when I get to the home wi-fi, it sometimes takes a while for the phone to connect to the wi-fi, or say that the wi-fi is out of range.... even when standing next to the router.
I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting the phone. When it connects it's awesome. Sometimes I have to turn off the wi-fi on the N4 then back on again for it to connect.
Does anyone know what this may be? Anything would be great help.
P.S. - everything else works on my wi-fi just fine. A couple Rokus, a notebook, and etc.
Thank you

Nexus 4 has several flaky wifi issues. When I first got mine I could not get it to connect to my home router at all. Then it just started and has been working fine ever since. You may try changing your frequency settings on the router or using a different security protocol. In my case it seems once it got connected the situation was resolved. Good luck!

I tried changing the frequency, seeing that my neighbor was on the band as me. I'm not sure if that did the trick, but now my N4 seems to be picking up the signal a little more quickly.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Same issue here. Sometimes I'm connected to campus wifi, I drive all the way home and look at my phone, it's still trying to connect to campus wifi. I have to turn wifi off then back on for it to disconnect and auto connect to my home wifi.
Hey guys, I have a problem and I feel like I've tried all I can think of to try and fix it. I got both my wife and I 2 kyocera rises. We activated them and all that and got them setup on our home wifi.
Well, I noticed that my rise will work fine and surf the net fine but at random times I won't be able to access the internet (Or any internet apps) even though it says i'm connected to the network. It will work if I use that connection widget to turn off the wifi and turn it back on but then it does the same thing, says i'm connected but i'm unable to use browsers/apps. The things I have tried was: Restart the phone, Reset the modem and router, factory reset the phone (Thinking it might be an app conflict), change the router channels, and I've even setup the phone for static IP.
Nothing is working and i'm at a stand still. The weird thing though is I believe my wives phone doesnt have this problem. She doesn't surf the web as much as I do but she occasionally goes onto the phone and never complains. If it helps, the router I am using is the Netgear WNR3500L. Does anybody have any ideas I can try out?

Manually set IP information on your phone and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google). Otherwise I'd recommend checking for the latest update on the Wireless router.

I will try that and see how it is. My friend that used to work for sprint told me to disable connections optimizer as well as it has problems.
UPDATE: I thought it was working but it isn't I decided to grab my wifes phone to see if the same was happening to hers at the same time as mine and it does. Well, so it must be something wrong with my network but I'm not sure what. There's no new firmware updates either. The weird thing is, I tried my nexus 7 and my t.v.'s wifi and they both work so something is making the androids not want to stay connected or something.
Androids have this weirdness with Wi-Fi. Try disabling security.
Factory reset the router and set it back up.
I found the problem. It was intact the firmware but there was no firmware updates from net gear but then I remembered my router is open source. So I decided to try flashing tomato onto my router and now my phones aren't dropping the connection. Thanks for the help guys!
Hello there.
This is my first post here, as I usually Google and usually find the solution here, but this time no.
Yesteday, my N4 stopped accessing the Web via Wifi.
It do connects to the Modem, gets its IP adress and etc. But I see no data being exchanged (using Internet Speed Meter I see 0kb/s, or a few bytes).
I see the N4 and its IP also from the router configuration page, and from the phone itself under wifi settings.
It was working fine 48Hours ago, and I didn't make anything weird in the past hours. It was running PacMan Rom (the latest one). I tried a factory reset and wiping a fresh 4.4, but nothing yet.
I tried multiple Fresh-Flashing but none helped.
I tried connecting to a free Wifi Hotspot and it worked like a charm, but when it comes to the my Wifi spot, nopenope. 3G works fine.
Any help? If you need more details just ask.
EDIT - Just forget what I wrote. Seems like my ISP router went nuts. I forgot to try a router hard reset before posting. I just tried and it's working again.
At least my Nexus is still going nice
