So it seems I cant connect to google servers using my works wifi "grey wifi bars" but im able to use browser and just about everything else. Is there a certain setting or settings that need to be set to connect to them ? I tried stopping and clearing google services framework, reboot but that's a no go. Tried using a static ip still a no go. Also tried playing with different wifi security settings "wpa/wpa2 psk" but nothing seems to work. If i connect to my phone it works perfect as well as at home. Anyone have any suggestions ?
Just guessing.. but it sounds like a security thing with your work network not allowing the connection instead of a tablet problem.Talk to your network guy at work. jmo
I randomly started having this same issue today at home.
All of my other devices are connected to google servers (TF101, GNex) just not my N7. Very strange.
Found the solution to this problem. It looks like since my battery had died, the date and time was reset to December 31,1999 and this was preventing me from connecting to Google servers.
Change to date and time to today and you should immediately connect.
My date is correct so it's gotta be something else maybe a port or something I'm missing I just don't know what. I also when I switch my Nexus to wifi at work it aso happens as well

Hello people,
Two days ago I bought a Legend only to discover that it has some issues with Wi-Fi. Here's what I mean:
I did the initial setup fully, set up a Google account, Wi-Fi connection only. Weather and Mail (Imap, not Gmail) work perfectly with my home WLAN, but Market does not. What's even strange - I can only open .bg websites (I'm from Bulgaria) in the browser, but nothing else, not even google.com. Those two work just fine on a 3G connection, though.
I tried all sorts of tricks with my router (D-Link N in mixed-mode if it matters), but it was no good. Even set the phone to be in the Demilitarized zone so as to have no problems communicating on port 5228 as I read Market needs to use... still nothing.
Please, can anyone think of a way to solve this annoying problem?
May thanks in advance!
Did you try switching the router to only b/only g/only n mode?
My router is a D-Link DSDL 2740R N and I haven't problem.
Also the coverage is satisfactory.
Try changing your DNS settings, and check router's MTU. Although just guessing here...

Yes, switching the mode was the first thing I did - going to g/b did no good.
Like I said, I don't have troubles connecting now - just a very limitted access to websites and services.
And what DNS Settings? The ones on the router? But they are working perfectly with my two computers, it's the HTC Legend that has issues.

So, I just talked to the support desk of my ISP and they told me they had never heard of such a problem. According to the guy, everything should be working normally because they were not blocking any kind of traffic/ports.
Any ideas?
So I got the Nexus 7 today from Amazon, did the setup, connected to wifi and had no issues. Very soon after, the Wifi showed it was still connected, but I couldn't update apps, go on the browser, get emails, etc. It looks like the Wifi is connected, but nothing that requires a connection is working. I tried factory resetting, but nothing helped. Has anyone else come across this issue? And ideas on what might be the problem?
Had that same issue. Rebooting my router fixed it for me.
Are you using 5ghz? 2.4?
I've been traveling all week and had no problems with my home 2.4/5ghz Linksys router nor any hotel access points I've used. Seems to work great. So you can't get online at all? No browser, no email, no apps, no play store, etc?
Perhaps you typed your password in wrong. What about router security?
Mine was doing some crazy stuff like that as well.
I rebooted the device and haven't seen that since.

I finally got it to work. All it took was me disconnecting from the Wifi and reconnecting again. Seemed like a weird little glitch, but all is good now. Thanks guys.
even turning on/off wifi multiple times i still get OP error, whos blue wifi icon connetion but i can't do anything online!!! i'll try to reboot nex7
Hello,
Try to change wifi router security settings wpa, wpa2.
As the title says, when I leave the house and come back it doesn't automatically connect to WiFi, anyone else have this problem?
I've changed the 2.4 and 5ghz to manual with no joy, its back to auto now.
Any other ideas?
Same problem here... :/ Using a Nexus 6p as well, when I get home it never connects, need to turn wifi off, and then back on to be able to connect...
No problem here with my work and home WiFi, both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
I had that problem and fixed it by changing channels and going down from 40mhz to 20mhz. Not sure which made the difference but my 6p connects right away now whilst before I had to toggle the WiFi.

I also have an issue connecting my Nexus 6P to my corporate Wifi network - I am seeking the specific details, but all I know so far is that it's a CISCO Access Point. The Nexus 6 had no problems at all. A colleague did briefly get his 6P connected, but then it appeared to break (he's not sure, but suspects it was after the November security update). It continually tried to connect and then eventually says Authentication problem (despite trying all sensible options for Forgetting, rebooting, changing password, confirming it still works for Nexus 6 w/ new password etc etc)
I am seeing this same issue with all of the 5GHz networks i use. It connects just fine but i need to choose it in the pulldown settings...does not automatically connect anymore.
This is something that started happening out of nowhere. it was fine after the latest update at the beginning of november but now has this issue.
Maybe reflash the system and clear the cache may do the trick but need to try.
Wondering why this is not an issue being spoken about more here. I'm sure its more widespread than it would seem here...
This is happening to my Nexus 6p too. when the phone switches to data network it doesnt connect back to wifi, i have to manually toggle the wifi on phone to connect to my wifi.
I have tried this at my friends home too and it doesnt look like an issue with the router, my nexus 6 connects compeletly fine without any issues.
Also I have noticed wifi disconnect when the screen is closed intermittently?
Is this an hardware issue?
Here is another person having the same problems. I changed my phone but I'm having the same issue on the new phone. It doesn't matter which location my phone is. It happens on every location.

Had the same thing. Connected just fine until something suddenly changed and it wasn't working anymore. It worked on other access points of the same WLAN as well as my home WLAN. Yesterday I changed the DNS Hostname of my Nexus (because "android-[insert random number here]" makes no sense) and suddenly it works again. Could be a coincidence though...
I've seen this issue on 5ghz networks on an HTC one m7, a Samsung galaxy s6 , this device and my Samsung Galaxy tab 4. It would seem to me it's an android issue.
Count me as another one with the automatic connectivity not working. Running stock 6.0.1 on Nexus 6P
I wasn't sure where to put this, but the issue started with the nexus player, so I figured I'd try here.
My girlfriend and I were watching a TV series on netflix, on my nexus player, when it started having a connection problem. I've had my nexus for about 6 months and have never had an issue with it before.
I can get onto netflix on the nexus player, and browse the titles, but as soon as I try to play something, it tells me my device may not be connected to the internet. If I do the network test, it shows a good test for all 3 netflix servers, and the internet connection. I can watch netflix on my laptop just fine over wifi, but of course, if I try to stream the tab.... it opens the netflix app which says it can't connect. (I tried uninstalling the netflix app and streaming the tab, but it just tells me I need to install the netflix app)
Finally I tried installing netflix on my galaxy S5, and it also wouldn't stream anything, until I turned off wifi.... then it worked fine. I have tried everything I can think of and have read to try to fix this. I've changed my router to send default ISP DNS servers to devices, I've tried setting google DNS servers, I've checked time zone settings, I've cleared netflix app data, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've done a factory reset.... nothing will work.
If it's an issue with router settings, I don't understand why it works fine on my laptop. I had made no changes to my network or any of my devices' configuration when it stopped working.
Does anyone have any idea why this would only affect android devices, and only over my wifi? I have no idea what else to try.

You cleared app data, what about the app cache? Also do you happen to be using a vpn service like unblock-us, I had a similar issue one time when my region had been changed from usa to uk on the website and then it was telling me I couldn't connect. Good luck.

Yeah when you clear data, it also clears the cache. I also uninstalled and reinstalled, and even did factory reset. I'd never had it on my phone until today and no go there... .and like I said, only on WiFi. Yet it works fine on my laptop over WiFi. On my Galaxy S5 it works on cellular fine. This is the weirdest issue I've ever run into.
I've worked as a computer/network tech since 2005, and while I may not be the most knowledgeable guy around, I can usually figure out any network related issue... but I don't know what the difference would be between the android apps and the browser app. I figure if it's not the app it would have to be something with my router/firewall... but I have no idea what.
UPDATE
It's definitely something to do with my router config. I have the same router/access point set up at home as we have at work, and we also have the same internet plan aside from this being a business account. But it's the same ISP, and same Up/Down speed. I just tried it at work over wifi on my phone and it works fine.
It could also be your ISP. Business account traffic is treated differently than residential account.
Ok I got it fixed. I still have no idea what the hell the problem was. I couldn't find any firewall rules that could have caused the issue. Nothing had changed in my set up and it just suddenly stopped working in the middle of watching one day. I considered the ISP being an issue, but my girlfriend also has COX internet, and she had no issues at her house on her blue ray player or phone on her wifi, and like I said before... it still worked on my laptop at home.
I think some kind of bug just popped up in pfsense. I did a factory reset on it and now everything's working fine. Still the weirdest issue I've ever encountered. It still worked fine on my laptop, but not on any android (on wifi), or maybe mobile and not android was the factor? I don't own apple products so I couldn't test that.
This issue started today when I tried using wifi on Southwest Airlines. Then got to my hotel and can't connect to their open wifi either. Actually, it connects but it says I may not have internet. The obvious problem is that the banner page which you usually have to accept terms and conditions for the WiFi no longer pops up.
I tried using my iPhone and the wifi on the plane and at the hotel work fine after you accept the terms.
Anyone know why it doesn't automatically pop up the acceptance window for these unsecured WiFi?? I've tried changing all the settings and nothing works.
I also uninstalled AdHell 2 thinking that maybe it was blocking legitimate stuff like the WiFi terms page but that didn't work. Frustrating.
Anyone else having the same issue??
