Nexus 7 wont connect netcomm WIFI !! - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i got my nexus 7 yesterday, which was great, unfortunately, it just wont connect to my wifi and keep doing the "authenticating"....., my HTC Incredible s doing wifi very well and so is my laptop, but my nexus 7.
the router is Netcomm NB9WMAXX with WPA-PSK TKIP+AES and 2.4G band, besides i disabled MAC filter. Also i tried using static IP on my Nexus 7 but failed....
Anyone experiencing the same? Any solutions, PLZ?

am i the only one having this problem..... sigh....

Nope .. wouldn't connect to my router using the standard method, either, so I used WPS for the first time and it connected fine.

Nexus S ICS WiFi crashes my router Dlink dir-657

Hi,
im on the official Nexus S ICS update (OTA) but since then my Nexus S always crashes my Dlink dir-657 router.
Is there anyone else with this problem?
I'm pritty sure its the Nexus on ICS because i tryed this numeroes times.
What do you mean with crashes? Router restarts?
I have DIR-825 and no problem with either stock OTA or custom ICS
Hahah no. I device that connects to a router would not make it crash. You have most likely installed it poorly. Call geek squad.!

I've had something which may be a similar experience.
On my old HTC tattoo, connecting via wi-fi would cause problems with other devices on the network. The instant I connect with my tattoo, other devices would get an error message and have "No internet access" on their wifi connection. I'd need to hard reset the router in order for other devices to connect again.
Just reset the router.. or try another Kernel?
I resetted the router multiple times, this morning i had problems again. After switching on and of the router all was fine again. But im not planning every time i use my Nexus s on wifi switching on and of the router!
Im pretty sure i had this problems with my previous router to. But i changed him for this model
Now i know it wasn't the router.
Anyway as soon i turn on wifi on the nexus s my router crash.
Set up a static IP on the phone and reserve an internal IP on the router. Sounds like a dhcp issue.

Actually he isn't the only one my dlink router crashes too it has something to do with the internals of the nexus s connect with the "n draft" if you switch to "g" it won't crash but the nexus s has had this issue since the beginning although I will say I have only experienced this a couple of times after the ICS update

Thanks for this reply, im trying to switch to "g" and see if it happens again.
the only problem with switching to "g" is that, you may experience slow downs while trying to transfer files over your network or trying to stream HD in between devices on the network. Its a price you have to pay
I've definitely encountered this before with my dlink router as well. I've attributed it to a buggy ath9k driver that's been included with openwrt 10.03. It's improved over time as more ath9k patches have made it into the source, but still happens from time to time when the nexus is using wireless. Other devices don't cause it to happen.
I solved IT ... just put wifi protection on aes only

I'm having the same issue, how to set it on AES only?
Go in to router settings - wifi section - Look in this section to switch from tkip/aes to aes only

Ha! I had this happen to me yesterday. It was effed up. I connected my phone to wifi and then my router went all "I don't want to work anymore". It did work after a hard reset, but I just think its interesting seeing this post today. Anyway, you are not alone!

[Q] Can't detect working Wireless N

My HTC One X can connect to my 5ghz wireless N network just fine, but my Nexus 10 can't even detect it. I was on ParanoidAndroid so I factory reset and flashed back to stock. That didn't solve it either.
Any idea why this is happening? I don't remember if I ever tried connecting to the N network.
Thanks in advance.
Mine connects to a 2.4 wireless N just fine... Never tried connecting to a 5

I have mine connected to a 5ghz wireless N network. Go to your WiFi settings and click the menu and select advanced. Click WiFi frequency band and make sure its set to auto.
Hope this helps.

Also make sure you have the right region selected for your wifi
Check your channels, there was a thread about it a while back.

Thanks for all the suggestions guy. In the end, I think the problem was the router. Apparently the Nexus 10 couldn't connect to certain frequency. I had to test a few and finally found one that the tablet was able to detect. Meanwhile, One X works fine on all.

[Q] help wifi won't connect after upgrading to 4.3

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can suggest a fix, yesterday I upgraded to 4.3 using adb. I'm fully stock not rooted. today for some reason it won't connect to my home network. It's a cisco e2500 router and its on the 5ghz band. I tried setting different channels, turned off optimization....
what gives???

Seems like there is an issue with your router. Did you change anything recently in the router setting? Try restarting the router.

I had immediate problems with Wi-Fi after updating as well, I don't know what the new radio features but it turned out that a firmware update to my router had everything running smooth as butter again, actually better (a lot more reliable–YouTube app actually appears to buffer noticeably less and not break up, for example, downloads also initiate and complete more solidly) than it was under 4.2.2

I have the same problem, since the update to 4.3 does not connect to the 5Ghz band.
I'm back to 4.2.2 and not connect, does it damage my hardware nexus 4?

I'm using an Asus AC66U at home and N66U at my office with no 5ghz connectivity issues.
Here's some things that might help you troubleshoot. Start by disabling the "avoid poor connections" feature in WiFi options. Install inssider or similar WiFi scanner to see if there is interference for your specific router config. Try removing the WiFi connection from your phone and reconfiguring.

Hi,
It's strange I have a similar problem. After upgrading to 4.3 my 5ghz connection came to a crawl. We are talking about 1.2-1.6 Mbps. But the 2.4 ghz was fine (35 Mpbs). Once I downgraded, re-writing the "radio" file, then the 5ghz connect was blazing fast again (50 Mbps). I'm convinced this has to do with the "radio" update, but I'm not sure what exactly.
Any suggestions? Currently I'm back on 4.2.2 as wifi speeds (PA rom) make more sense right now.
Thanks in advance!

I tried all of the above, every combination, reset my router, there are no other 5ghz overlapping networks, at this point it is something to do with my install. I wonder if a factory wipe would help...
That's my exact setup (E2500' did you set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 5GHz only on the N4 and give the band a different SSID from the 2.4 GHz network?)! Try forgetting the current connection and setting it up again.

I'm pretty sure it's not your router setup and the radio upgrade, as I mentioned earlier. Try going back to stock 4.2.2 and see if you can connect

If it were the radio software specifically, then logically 5ghz would be broken for everybody, which is not the case. Perhaps the issue is device data specific... There has to be a better solution than staying on 4.2.2.

I have with wifi problems too, but with 4.3 and 4.2.2 version. At home everything works fine, but at work phone connect to router, but no Internet (internet work only 1-2s). Other devises with this router works fine!
I have even a different issue. The phone is stuck at Obtaining IP Adress every time now. I downgraded to 4.2.2 and it's still doing the same thing. It does work if connected to a different router, but not to my main one. I haven't changed any router settings either.

I had the same issue before 4.3 update. It was working fine after the update but today it happened again. I switched to static ip in my nexus wifi settings and its working fine. So i guess DHCP has the problem and im blaming nexus because everything else in the same network works fine.

I have the same problem with my old generation nexus 7. New one works just fine, galaxy nexus - just fine, xperia s - also fine, macbook pro - fine. I can't blame the network. Something is messed up. I tried a factory reset (as I'm selling this one) and it didn't help. also after quite some time of trying it wrote "Avoided poor connection" under the name of my network, but I can't alter the "Avoid poor connections setting" from the setup wizard.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think the problem is DHCP too. I used to use WPA2 for my LAN. My Nexus 4 appears to not connect to those networks anymore.

Tried to set a static IP address? And you could also playing with the WiFi frequency bands. Some reported they can't connect to WiFi on 5 GHz band. Could try the 2.4 GHz one instead.
In cases of weak signal, DHCP may fail when connecting. If this happens, move closer to the AP (stronger signal).
If you have 2 routers and use 1 as an access point, use the LAN (not WAN) port on the second router and disable the DHCP server on the same router. You can use the same SSID and float between them if the other settings match (encryption and password). Use 2 different channels as far apart as possible (like 1 and 11). On 2.4 GHz, only use channels 1 to 11. On 5 GHz, only use 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, or 165. The other channels have FCC limitations in the US. Use WPA-2 only with CCMP (AES) encryption. WPA should only be used with TKIP, while WPA-2 should only be used with CCPM (AES). I have seen a lot of issues when mixed is used.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the suggestions. While testing I was standing just beside my router, so no weak signal problem. What I did after many tries to connect was reinstall stock 4.3 but version which ended with the letter 'V'. I was unable to see my problematic android build version, because I was stuck at welcome screen. So the reinstall fixed it.

This may be a long shot but if you’re on Project Fi you may want to check the Google wi-fi Assistant. Good Luck!
Reboot your router and it should be all set. Trust me - it just needs to flush.
If reboot doesn't work try changing the WiFi channel if not auto. Good luck!

I've had this problem on several custom roms with my N6p, and the only way I could fix it was to go back to the stock rom. You could try flashing the stock boot.img and vendor.img, then wiping system, and flashing your rom and gapps again. I think it has something to do with root, but that is my opinion from just from trial and error flashing. I am on Project Fi.
Have you tried connecting to other WiFi networks? Same behavior?

Are you using a mac address on it? And have you tried flushing and renewing the the address on the router? No other conflicts?
Hi, I had a similar problem on my N6p. I have 2 routers in the house, both use the same SSID. Thanks to WiFI Analyser I have fixed it. My N5, and other devices could 'see' and use both routers but the N6p could not 'see' the downstairs router which was set to channel 13 (2.4GHz). When I changed it to channel 8, the N6p could 'see' it. Bit weird that the N6p has this restriction.

When you are near to WiFi It switch to 5GHz that has problem with Android 5.+
there is no solution other than manually set to 2.4GHz
to make sure completely about it works go to Router Setting and set different SSID and pass for 5GHz
Then on ur phone connect it to 2.4GHz SSID

As I know that Nexus will detect network connection via Google's service(such as ping GMS server).
Was them actually not able to open a webpage/Facebook page, or just showing no internet access?
