i have a MAC address lock on my wifi at home and i dont know where to find the MAC address for my 8525 so i can enter it in the router. anyone know?
.lau
Depends on the OS and ROM, but usually is under "Settings", "Connections", "Wireless LAN", "Advanced".
WiFi must be turned on to see it. It will be listed as just "MAC"
yep, surely that did it... thanks!
Can someone please post a step by step procedure for putting a static IP into
my Tab 500?
instructions for static IP relevant on my tab version, android 3.1 (4.010.11_COM_GEN2):
open up wifi networks and settings. Find your network you wish to connect to and long hold it. Select Modify Network. Select IP Settings drop down and change from DHCP to Static. Scroll down again and type in your own IP addressing schema for the IP address and Gateway. Don't forget to add a network prefix length, even if you simply type in the suggested 24. I recommend using your ISP's DNS servers unless you are trying to use DNS for filtering and protection (such as opendns).

Thanks for prompt reply. What does 'long hold" mean? My Tab does not ever get
an IP assigned to it by DHCP, so I want to try a static IP to get wi fi working.
I will try your procedure when I get home from work today and will post results.
You're welcome. By long hold, i simply mean to tap the setting and hold it for a moment rather than let go right away. I am sure there is an official term for that, it just escapes me at the moment.

Thanks again. I'll try a Factory Reset first. Then, if that doesn't work, I will try a static IP address.
Problem solved. Static IP not required.
I tried the Factory Reset from the settings menu. It took a few minutes to reset and reboot. A s soon as I went to the Wi-Fi settings, it found my router, got great signal strength, and was asked for my password. It then connected immediately.
I then went to settings, and looked for any updates. It found the latest update, so I downloaded and installed OS v3.1. It took about 1 hour to complete the download and installation. My tab works great now. I could not be more pleased with it.
Many thanks to all on this forum and elsewhere who contributed their suggestions and advice.
I turned on wifi but was unable to access / change my IP to a static IP . I couldnt find the option under wifi - advanced as well. The new options allow me only to change my Signal Band (2.4gz/5gz) but not change my IP address or put a static IP.
Any thoughts?
It's right there
Press and hold your connected access point
Check Show advanced options
Click IP settings and change from DHCP to Static
Enter your IP/DNS
thanks i also had a problem but now i can enter my ip but the save button is unfortunately greyed out so stuck up in getting ip address can anyone help
ps: figured it out now working
thanks
saving of static IP is now per network instead of per wifi interface.
still not able to assign static ip

Is this also the case with proxy server? I have an Asus Transformer on ICS that allows me to save Proxy per access point, and I'm hoping the GNote will also do this on ICS.

I have the same problem with the greyed out options. How did you solve it?

Just checked myself, glad to see this!
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope thats all clear.
I have had the same problem.
Wouldn't is be a better option to have your router reserve a specific IP address for the MAC address of your Note? That way you won't have to change the settings on your Note when you want to connect to a different network.

It would, but that's a bit too technical for most users, as it requires going into advanced settings of your router. Most people don't even know their routers IP address, let alone configure MAC-level access!
Also the default setting is for DHCP on all networks, so the user doesn't have to worry when connecting to any network.
In ICS, they have introduced the option of allowing different IP settings for each network. In previous android versions, you could only have 1 global setting that affected all networks.
I like to use a static IP on my home network, but every over network I connect to requires DHCP. So previously, I had to disable Static IP to access other networks (or use an app called Wifi static!).
It's no wonder I was confused 'Wifi static' was no longer working

With the long press stuff --> modify network and add the static IP, it seems not work for me. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3.
Do u think the phone need to be rooted to gain superior access privilegde?
And my setup network @home is ad-hoc. So cant reserve any ip on a router.
Kind regards
Takeur

if by "not work" you mean that you can't see an option to change from DHCP to static, it may simply be because the on-screen keyboard automatically appears at that setup page (so you can enter a password) and it obscures the options further down the page.
So, you need to:
1. long press on your connection to go into "modify network config"
2. press capacitive "back" key (or click "done") to reveal the bottom of the page
3. check the "show advanced" tick box
4. scroll down beyond the visible part of the page to get to DHCP setting.

here's my solution on my note ICS
1. long press wifi connection, enter your network password
2. change dhcp to static
3. fill ip address of your device
4. FILL NETWORK PREFIX OF YOUR STATIC WIFI NETWORK (NETWORK PREFIX is substitution of NETMASK ADDRESS (eg 255.255.255.255) see table here ttp://gabbtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/subnet-mask-address-dan-persamaannya.html
5. fill other requirement (gateway,dns,etc)
6. You should be able to click greyed out SAVE button now

Not a single reply?
Use your router settings to do it, add a reserved IP address for your nexus 4.
IF you want to do it on the phone just long press the network, click modify, then show advanced options, then change IP address to static instead of DHCP

Hi I was hoping if someone could help me out regarding DNS SETTINGS please in an android 10 tv box.
I read and was told to always use STATIC instead of DHCP for IPTV.
So I always go into IP. STATIC and change the DNS settings there to Cloudflare settings as I would not want to use Google DNS.
I have done that in every box and it saves successfully but this time in android 10 tv box I noticed that it says saved successfully but if you back out and go back in it is not saved and shows original DNS of Google.
My home router is saved to Cloudflare and I also notice on the box their is a root switch to toogle on and off and it is set to off not sure this has anything to do with the settings not being saved.
Almost forgot when I first connected to the WIFI network it said unknown SSID but I entered it manually in STBEMU.
Any help or clarification would be appreciated.
Thank you
