Need tons of help with Wi-Fi PLEASE

alright i need help connecting to my home wireless router. (and yes it is a wireless G router, i just installed that thing that lets it work with wireless G)
alright so here is what i do step by step.
1. hit the comm manager button, and hit WLAN so it connects.
2. choose my account
3. enter the network key
4. I hit settings, and i see i have a great signal
5. a pop up says "unable to assign a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings".
6. I hit settings in comm manager then hit wi-fi settings
7. I see all my info on the main button and i hit the advanced button
8. Status = associated to network... Mac address is filled in... IP says 0.0.0.0 and i can't change that.
if anybody can help me that would be great.
9. now after a long time of not doing anything, a pop up says the network key is incorrect. enter the correct key and tap connect. Except I know it was correct because i entered it very carefully, and all my info (#7) showed up.
somebody help me

try static ip allocation
start>settings>connections > network cards > WLAN card> IP, subnetmask, dns gateway...etc etc u know the drill

alright I put in all of those settings, but still when i turn wifi on, it still asks me for my network key, and still try's connecting to the normal WLAN.... ughhh...

Seems to me like your security settings arent quite right, but thats a guess. I had a similar problem with a PC when I had enabled MAC filtering. You don't have that turned on on your router do you.
To rule out (or in) security settings, I would disable my routers security and make sure I could log on to an open network, then go from there.

Oh I know i can log into an open network, I did at a coffee shop a little while ago. And I know I can connect to my router, my other computer is and so can my PSP.

I have a similar problem. I didnt have this problem a couple of weeks ago and managed to connect without a problem. However now I'm having the same symptoms as the first poster.
When I disabled the security setings on my router, I managed to connect and received an IP address. However DNS was not working. Explorer refused to bring up any page. I couldnt even access my router's home page using just the IP address. I even tried entering the DNS IP address manually but this didnt solve the problem. Skype managed to connect without a problem though.
Cheers

I had the same issue even after I turned off the security, mac filter etc. It would connect once but after a suspend, it wouldn't connect at all. I have a d-Link DI614+ router. Finally figured out that the MDA was not going thru the channels properly. I had my router set to 10 and it would not budge beyond 11. I just changed the router channel to default to 11 and turned on security and filtering one by one and everything worked. My advice is to set the router to a default state and attempt to connect it. If that doesn't work, throw a temper tantrum and remove all settings on the MDA and go thru step by step again...

How to configure the WiFi Router application?

Please assist.
1. My PC identifies the HD2 as Ad-Hoc and not as Infrastructure. Is it the case?
2. The WiFi router application registers only the WAP APN in the internet connections. I usually use the Internet APN, why is it not chosen?
3. On my PC, should I enter the 10 digits WEP key for all four WEP key slots, or just into the first slot?
4. When I try to connect, the HD2 prompts me to enter a Static IP address (no DHCP support). Where should I enter it? what mask and gateway addresses?
Thanks

anyone using that app?

I tried, but I can't. Unlike the original poster, it tries to connect to my MMS access point, of course there's no internet access there. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it work yet.

Mine works perfectly but only if the HD2 is right next to the computer. For some reason the range is ridiculously minimal.

Battery drain, if the range was increased it would kill the battery.

I have the same problem as the first poster : I can't choose the correct 3G connection. Only one connection is displayed in HTC Wifi Router with one single radio button on its right and it's not the right internet connection for unlimited internet.

in order to choose the right APN, please choose SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>CONNECTIONS>ADVANCED>SELECT NETWORKS and enter the right APN (Internet) in both tabs.
That will do the trick.

still, although HD2 is discoverable by my PC (in wifi Find networks), with a good reception level, my PC insists that it is an Ad-Hoc connection (no DHCP) and when I try to use Infrastucture (with the wep key), my PC cannot establish association (get IP address from the HD2) and it shows no signal level.
Please assist.

Zolom, thanks? I did that and it improved a bit the situation: now email clients work (pop) but web surfing still doesn't work. I didn't try yet other internet connections.

not working anymore
before i installed 1.48 everything worked perfect but after the upgrade it doesnt work anymore. now my computer can connect but the phone also connects to its own network.... very strange behavior.... tried to turn off wifi but that also turns off router. any suggestions anyone?

Voila I finally got rid of the "HTTP 403 Forbidden" error with a (partial?) solution.
I have installed user agent switcher (http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/installed/07/) for Mozilla on Windows Vista, and I entered the user agent of my ISP on my HTC HD2 . It works!
Questions:
- Is it possible to set the user agent on other browsers such as IE or Opera?
- I noticed the user agent is not necessary for pop3 email clients. Is user agent mandatory for other internet services, like Messenger, SIP, Skype, software updates, etc?

WiFi only works if Data Connection is active

Hello.
Today I downloaded Office 2010 for my HD Mini. After completing the phone restarted.
I then tried to check my email, which failed with a 'no connection' error. I checked the the WiFi was on (it was) and tried again, no luck. I then noticed that the little 'Data Connection' icon was not displayed in the taskbar. I went to Settings>Wireless controls>Data connection and turned this on. Now I could check emails, surf the internet, all as normal. I am sure that this was being done using the WiFi due to the speed of pages loading. But surely I shouldn't need to turn on a Data connection, to use WiFi?

Mine is havin a similar problem. I am not able to surf even if I connet to my wifi. Only after enabling the data connection it starts work. Though I am not sure which internet its using. Since it was kind of slow.
Don't know for sure if its a bug or hardware issue but it is something. Someone pls help.

Well. I think I might have found the problem here. I was looking for the setting to turn Wi-Fi off automatically after a few minutes and I came across the setting for DNS Address, I have manually assigned an IP addresses on my Wi-Fi as otherwise my Apple Mac and Windows PC's can't see the printer, I had assigned an IP address and the Gateway address for the router, but I had not found the panel for DNS servers, I had assumed that the DNS server would be located automatically - it appears this is not the case and the HTC HD Mini was using the GPRS DNS server to locate the IP addresses before downloading the pages via the Wi-Fi connection.
So, if suffering from not being able to access the internet on Wi-Fi without a GPRS connection being made try the following:
Settings >
Wireless Controls >
Wi-Fi >
Advanced (Button) >
Adaptor and Networks >
Network Adapters (Tab) >
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Not sure if this is required...
What is the DHD adapter???
I did enter both my IP and DNS settings here though... Just in case!
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Then back out of all the menus/pages.
This worked for me. Worth a try?

[Q] CM7 7 802.1x connection problems

Hello:
Hoping for some help here, as I'm out of ideas.
I a running CM7 7.1 stable release on my nook color. Ever since I rooted to CM7 several months ago, I've been unable to maintain a stable connection to my university's 802.1x network. Here's what happens, from the beginning:
NC finds the signal, and I enter in my credentials as per these instructions from the university website:
"Configuration settings for BU (802.1x)
Your device may not require all of the settings included below.
Connect to: BU (802.1x)
EAP method: PEAP
Phase 2 Authentication: None (if available) or MSCHAPV2
CA Certificate: N/A (only option)
Client Certificate: N/A (only option)
Identity: <BU login name>
Anonymous Identity: <BU login name>
Wireless Password: <Kerberos password>
Related: use Automatic IP for your BU network connections
When you use BU wireless (or any BU network connection), your device should be set to use an automatic (dynamic) IP address — never use a static IP. This setting is usually already chosen on your Android device, but should you ever want to check it, here is the sequence of commands to use.
To make sure you are using Auto IP, go to:
Settings,
Wireless & Networks,
Wi-Fi Settings
Click the ‘Settings’ button
Choose Advanced Settings
And enable Auto IP"
Doing so will establish a connection. I'll get a couple of bars, but not full strength wireless. Eventually at some point, as I move from one app requiring wireless to another--let's say I switch from Pulse to the browser, or just change pages on my browser--the connection drops. I go back to the wifi settings and attempt to reconnect to the network. Sometimes it works, but eventually it will start refusing to connect, and I'll have to forget the network, restart wifi and add the network again. But the drops are so frequent that it's not even worth it since they constantly interrupt browsing, etc. So I've been just been tethering off my cell phone.
Stock nook had no problem holding a connection, hp touchpad (webOS) has no problem, nor does the laptop. I've researched here and other forums and haven't found a worthwhile solution. I know other people are having no problems maintaining a connection at their schools. I ran wifi ace and saw that there are multiple channels broadcasting BU's wifi signal--my guess is that the nook is jumping from one channel to another and losing connection along the way, perhaps? I'm no tech guru so it's just a guess.
I'm at my wits end and have exhausted all options I could access before posting here. Any help/advice/assistance to help me hold a stable connection to this 802.1x connection is MUCH APPRECIATED!

Connects to local wi-fi, but can't connect to the internet.

Hi
I am having a problem connecting to the internet through my home Wi-Fi network on a Tab A (SM-T350). It connects to the WiFi network just fine. I can control my Harmony TV remote from the Tab A so I know it is solidly on the net. It shows up as a connected device on the router. When I try for any internet connection I get a "Server not found" message. The weird thing is it has connected to the Yahoo home page twice but I could not go anywhere from there. When I got out of the browser I was not able to reconnect. It won't sync Email either. I am using several browsers and get the same behavior all of them. No other devices are having any problem with the WiFi network, just the Tab A.
Any ideas? A web search talked about similar problems on some devices a couple of years ago. It had do with the date on the tablet being reset and some sort of sync issue. This is not the problem here.
Thanks
John

could be something wrong with your DNS

I guess you mean the Domain Name Service on the router? I can get internet access using the same router on different devices. What did you have in mind.

maybe your device isn't picking it up for some reason. you can try manually setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8 in the advanced network settings and see if it fixes it.

I tried your suggestion. It was set DHCP, I went to static, and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and it did not help. I did notice that when I first try to bring up a web page after connecting to the WiFi network it will bring up the current page once. None of the links will work. Also if I shut down the browser and try to re-open that same web page it will not connect.
Anyway, thanks for the idea. If you can thing of anything else let me know.

I figured it out. I went onto the router it showed a device with the correct tablet MAC address was attached. It showed the MAC address was bound to a device with an IP address that did not match the IP address the tablet was trying to talk to. I don't know how that happened, but it did. Anyway I went onto the tablet, forced a static IP and made it match the one on the router.
