I have a ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A Wireless router. I have tried all combinations of security, even NO SECURITY WHATSOEVER, and still the device won't transfer data.
Not working;
Firmware: 1.5, Build: CR817
Wifi Router: ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A
Security: Tried All; WPA2, WPA, WEP & None.
Problem: Connect under all conditions but no data is sent
Please help.
Have you tried another WiFi access point to check the devices WiFi module actually functions?
No, I haven't tried that yet, but don't really see the point... I've connected effortlessly to the same WiFi network with my HTC Touch Diamond.

For some reason my N800 wouldn't connect to MY ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A unless I set the device (N800) to disable any kind of wifi powersaving features it had.
On another note, how did you get your hands on the device so early? I'm guessing you are using a Cybercity internet connection? (I'm in copenhagen myself)
edit: I actually came to that solution when i noticed I could connect to OTHER accespoints, but not the Zyxel ones.
Same problem here in France with a Freebox as router
I've noticed under the router's WLAN client list that the device does not have a "Host Name". Would that present a problem?
It is assigned an IP address by the router without any problems, though.
Also the device seems to lose connection and reconnect constantly (every 5-10 seconds).
I done some digging around in the router settings and found an "AnyIP" feature. Would that possibly help?
There are a number of issues floating around. Support for WPA2 seems iffy and some people can just change to WPA or WEP and all work fine.
There are however a number of people (such as me) who can get a connection perfectly, it shows connection OK, they get an IP from the DHCP server etc, they can even browse a page for a few seconds... but after that no data is sent and everything times out. This is happening on any security from none through to WPA2.
I have seen no solution to this anywhere and believe me I have looked. Some people have given up and got a new router, but this is not a solution.
Can someone confirm that this has been recognised as a fault with the magic and is being investigated, rather then assuming it's a user or router error. There are far too many instances of this across many brands of router for it not to be an issue with the HTC Magic.

What I mean is have you tested the device on ANY other AP except the ZyXEL?
No, but since I'm by far the only one having this issue (try searching the web; see my last post), I didn't feel it was necessary. Just want some input from xda-dev that might solve the problem, if any.

I've had exactly the same problem earlier with the N800 on the zyxel. Exactly how you describe it.
Did you find out if you could turn off any powersaving features on the HTC?
same problem here
in france with a freebox
I don't exaclty know what router is in the box
but I have excalty the same
I set on never the wifi sleep(powersaving) mode.
i found it in setting wifi menu button then advanced and "never"
but the problem is still here

I have the exact same problem on mine. I just hope it is not a hardware issue...
Could be DHCP lease time problem. Did anyone of you tried to set up Magic with Static IP?
Yes, I tried that also - didn't help one bit.

I also have this problem. Im in Denmark with a Zyxel P660HW-p1.
Another user of Cybercity in Denmark with the same problem.
ZyXEL P-660HW-D1
The android is the only device that doesn't work. I have tried with Iphone and laptops.
I've tried to change the settings on the router to no avail.
Enable 802.11g+ mode [on/off]
RTS/CTS Threshold [2432/4096]
RTS/CTS Threshold [2432/4096]
Max. Frame Burst [600/1800]
The device shows up in the device list with no hostname, the HTC Magic gets the right ip address (using the program WhatIsMyIp to view it)
I had the same problem before, when I set my TP-LINK draft N router with WEP security my HD can see it, connect to it (but speed was slow tho), and my HTC Magic just keep saying its not in range. However, when I set it to open security it works, so I recognise its probably the security setting... so I changed that to WPA2 and then it works.
In my case, I see different device have different tolerance to some settings (in my case, draft N + WEP is OK with laptop, HTC HD, but not Magic), so its still worthwhile to try a few different settings, and try a public wireless access point also to double confirm?
Power save?
I have Zyxel (P-2602R-D1A) router.
I had exactly the same problem with my HTC Vox (winmo)... but that was solved by boosting the WiFi in the phone.
WiFi -> Best performance
So Im guessing magic is in some WiFi "power save" mode...
I dont know how this works, but I thought maybe you could change some WiFi settings behind the hood - that is if the hardware is capable of it.
Zyxel (P-2602R-D1A) router
I am having the same issue with this router as the other posters. The phone connects perfectly and reports an excellent signal, but barely sends or receives any data. I have used a terminal emulator to ping the router and it reports an 82% packet loss. This must be a big problem for many Danish users as it is the standard wifi router provided by two of the major ISP's.
same issue here with my vodafone uk magic.
wifi connects and i can browse for a few seconds then get a connection error and can't browse until i re-start wifi on the magic...
i've actually given up using wifi at home now due to this.
router is a talktalk supplied Huawei Echolife HG520b using 128 bit WEP
i can connect fine via wifi at the office so i don't think it's an issue with the handset, just with certain routers or router configs...
this issue has been reported on the vodafone uk forums but as yet no solution.

Hi guys, not sure if its been brought up before, but my nexus one frequently disconnects from my home wifi, I don't know the exact intervals but once in a while when I check my phone, it'd be disconnected and when i look at the wifi settings, it would say connection unsuccessful and i would have to manually reconnect it. Seems like a major hassle to me, shouldn't be my router either as my laptops and other devices have no such problem.
Some facts:
Router DIR-625 (set on G and N)
Interestingly, my router reports my nexus one on 802.11 N band.. which is curious, I thought it wasn't enabled yet?
The signal strength is about 4 - 5 bars (only seperated by one wall)
Whenever I click on reconnect it reconnects without any problems
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem here?
change your WiFi sleep policy to never sleep. and also the nexus has a WiFi bug. check that setting first though, cause its on by default which I don't know why.

Since 506 it´s enabled
............
I remember having issues with my connection..I upgraded the router software, e voila...
I had similar problems with a DIR-655. I turned off MAC address filtering and updated the firmware (I was 3 years and about 6 iterations behind) and I haven't had anymore problems.
Edit: BTW, The N1 had flawless connectivity on all my other Wi-Fi routers (work, friend's house, etc) which happened to be Linksys
I havent had the best wifi experience with my note or my note 2. Hoping that the note 2 would be better I was a bit disapointed to find it was still taking ages on youtube constantly buffering and generally getting on my tits I found with my note1 changing the wifi frequency in wifi advanced options from Auto to 2.4ghz helped a bit but this option has been removed as far as I can tell in jellybean so I was stumped.
After googling my problem for some time it appeared that WPA2 security on my router could be the culprit. I would have thought that a new device like the note 2 would have no problem with any of the well known router security options but after changing my homehub2 from WPA2 to WEP128bit security my wifi problems have completely gone.
My phones wifi is now fast and reliable with what seems like a stronger signal.
I dont see anybody reporting wifi problems with the note 2 but I did have and it turned out to be my router security settings so this maybe something to try for anyone having issues with home wifi.
I dont believe this to be a note 2 issue but possibly jellybean could be improved to cope with router security better.
I tryed 3 routers over a year and it turned out to be just a setting ... Doh!

Well nice but I don't think it's worth risking security.
this is SPARTAAA
Some suggestions for poor wifi.
- disable bluetooth. It's been shown that having bluetooth on will slow wifi speeds on this device. Having bluetooth connected and streaming audio makes some people's wifi slow down to dial up speeds.
- of possible, use 5ghz wifi. This will reduce your wifi signal strength, but will help illuminate the problems caused by bluetooth.
Hope that helps.

Man so much noob disinformation everywhere....
WEP is a encryption algorithm , 802.11n is a WiFi protocol standard and yes they are compatible.
5ghz in WiFi has a much higher transfer speed then 2.4ghz but at a cost of shorter range.

yup.... WEP can easily be cracked with Backtracks but if your router has WPS enabled Reaver can get your router to cough up its WPA password in a few hours.
Your problem could be with your router and not your phone.

Theres two encryption options with wpa2 personal, try the other one. It is know that some chipsets do better with one, choices are TKIP or AES, you might be currently set to both, try forcing your router to one or the other and compare them sppedwise

OP, you haven't listed your router. I know, as a fact; that the BT Home Hub's (BT provide as default, and it's what I'm using) are the worst piece of **** to have ever been included in their packages.
Try changing to 5.0Ghz, but make sure your other devices are compatible, otherwise they'll cause the router to revert back and decreasing your transfer speed.
No, WEP and Wireless 'n' are NOT compatible, don't believe me? That's fine, try it out for yourself.
There's also numerous threads on this issue, as well as other Galaxy devices.
There are far too many variables to include 'fixes.' What works for you, might not work for me and vice versa.
Grab an app called WiFi Analyzer from the play store, see the surrounding routers and check what channel they're running on.
How channels work, is that they have an overlap of 5 channels. For example, channels 1-6, 6-11, 2-7, 7-13 etc, etc.
As the routers compete for their selected channel, interference happens which diminishes the signal as well as the throughput data transfer speed.
Do some research

for full speed on WiFi n you should set you security to WPA2/AES it is only one fully compatible with "n" and will work on full speed

Like I said before WEP is compatible with 802.1n.......but some crappy home routers may deprecate it.

I've seen some chatter about this buried in other threads, but I wasn't able to locate a dedicated thread...so if there is one, sorry about a duplicate post.
So I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Nexus phone and both have this issue. The issue has occurred in multiple environments with multiple routers/networks.
Basically, the wireless on the N7 and both the wireless & cell on the Galaxy Nexus go gray but show as connected with a strong signal. However, there is no IP traffic being routed. The devices have an IP address, and show correct DNS and default route locations and the wireless symbols even show data moving (the little bidirectional arrow deal) but nothing actually happens on the device.
Some have said this means you are not connected to Google's services like Gmail and what-not, but that isn't the case either as you can't ping from the device nor can you go to any websites in the browser, get new mail, get web data for other web enabled apps, or in the case of the phone, get text messages or phone calls.
The only *fix* I've found is to turn off wireless, wait a minute, and turn it back on. This can be really annoying when you have to do it 5-10 times a day on the tablet and it really sucks when you find you miss calls, texts and emails on the phone.
I notice this has never occurred with any of my other Android based devices or iOS devices. This would lead one to believe it has something to do with Jelly Bean and perhaps some background task crashing or something.
Does anyone else experience this? If it were just my phone or just the N7 I would think I had a defective device, but since they both display similar behaviors at different times with different routers on completely different networks, it seems more software related since the only thing in common is that they are both Android 4.1.x devices (it happened on 4.1.1 and now 4.1.2).
I would love to know if there is a real fix for this somewhere!

Again, it happens with multiple routers from the lowly Linksys to Netgear to D-Link to Checkpoint and several more. This is NOT a router issue.
I was having to power off my Linksys router several times a day to allow dropped devices to reconnect again. What happens when you power cycle your router?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
What router settings and security method are you using? WEP, WPA? try changing the channels on your router or something
From what I experienced, it is connected to the router but somehow the router has lost net connection. Rebooting DSL modem fixes it for me. I have DSL connection here in Philippines, the telco provided a zyxel dsl modem. From the DSL modem I have Tomato flashed router. Rebooting the DLS modem fixes without rebooting router or the n7. In N7 from gray it turns blue and i can see the up / down arrows, net access is working.
I get the impression that my request/question was too long as it seems people are not really reading. Either that or they are not getting it because they either never experienced the problem, or because they don't take their N7 around like I do so they think it's connected to their home router.
This problem happens at about 8 different sites. Every site has a different router and a different internet connection from DSL to cable to T1.
This problem happens with both my N7 & my Galaxy Nexus and not at the same time at the same site.
I do appreciate people trying to help, but this clearly isn't a router issue but rather it is an Android issue. Focusing on the router really isn't helpful because there is nothing in common. Even the encryption varies from open networks like at a coffee shop, to WEP (yeah...seriously) to WPA to WPA2.
Just want to know who else on XDA has a similar problem to me on the Nexus 4.
Recently moved country and took my Nexus 4 with me, got a data plan, no problems there. I was also was given the stock router for my ISP (Movistar) when taking out my broadband contract and my Nexus 4 is the only device that won't connect to wifi.
So here's what happens:
1) Network can be seen on the Android 4.2.2 Wifi Settings
2) I can connect, either by WPS or by entering the password, and Nexus 4 shows connected with indicator
3) Indicator instead of being the standard blue is grey, which seems to be no internet connection. I can get some access but at very, very slow speeds (about 9kbps)
The Nexus 4 is the only device in my house with the issue, no problems on PCs, iPads, etc.
Google have acknowledged this is a bug and there is a fix which involves root, but I don't want to root at the moment. Google also say it'll be fixed in the next update, but they've said that and we've seen 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 come out in the meantime.
Google Support also sent me a rubbish response to my questions about when it'll be fixed, telling me what Wifi is and how to turn it on and off..
So just want to know, are you having the similar issues with certain routers on 4.2.2 (stock)? I know I'm not the only one but I couldn't find any other threads.
Thanks!

There are a lot of fixes in the Android Development Section.
Typically this can be a DNS problem if your router is not correctly set up to relay DNS requests (windows/OSX tends to be a lil smarter about it if it can't get the appropriate response from the router).
You could try to set a DNS yourself such as google's public ( 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 ) in the advanced properties when you long press the SSID you're connected to and see if that allows for internet access. If it does, then maybe you just need to log into your router and correct the DNS info.
Thanks for the responses guys

Tried that I'm afraid :/ No luck. According to Google it is the fact "they have no drivers for that router" considering they will probably have a generic driver for the average user to connect whatever the router.

Hi! It's an annoying issue, I'm currently tethering through Mac to get it to work. The root fix does work but drains battery life a lot more (instead of 0.5% per hour drain it's 5%). If you want to look I'll pass the link, but wouldn't recommend it.

And about changing routers, not possible at the moment. I've just moved abroad and have my old router somewhere too hard to find. Google are no help with this which is the problem, but if it persists in the next update I'll get a new router whatever the case.
It's strange since my iPad and all my other devices work with no problems!

The Nexus is a great phone, just a few odd issues which hopefully will be fixed.
This issue is persistent but dependant on the router. For example, my extender works perfectly whilst the main router doesn't - let me know what your router model is and I'll check to see if this will be common for your router

Hi!
Taken a quick look and doesn't seem to be any problems with your router. What you can do is to purchase the device and test to see it works on WiFi.
If it works, you're good to go!
If not, try some troubleshooting, so change channels, IP address, or even just a reset of the router could work.
Still not working? You can try what I did and buy an extender, but that'll set you back a bit of money.
You could wait until this is fixed, which we don't know when yet, or if you can't fix it you have a return period on which you should get a refund from Google.
Let me know what you decide to do, personally I'd try it out since it's likely to work, but I would return if not. But the Nexus 4 is a great overall device for the price.
Hope this helps!

OP, have you checked to see if this is an issue with the wifi access point of your router, or actually a routing issue?
To do this, set up ftp services on your computer or phone and login from the other device and copy a file from one to the other. If the bandwidth is good, your problem isn't with wifi but rather a routing issue that can likely be addressed in its settings.

I'm about certain this is to do with the router itself and not a routing issue, this is a common nexus4-my router problem and various other models.
I've adjusted every setting possible in the router settings to no avail, and all of my other devices which include other android devices work perfectly.
Sadly it seems to lie with a Qualcomm driver from what I've seen, and hopefully Google can fix in the next update

If you don't bother to check if you have good throughput over your LAN, you'll never know whether this is a wifi issue or a routing issue.
Drivers talk to hardware, i.e. Your wifi chip. That is all local, and has nothing to do with the routing (Internet) part of your router. Without knowing where the actual issue lies, you're just guessing if a new wifi driver will help.

Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood me and you're obviously making the assumption that I haven't already checked for routing issues.
As I said, my Nexus 4 is the only device in my house with this problem, all others work perfectly. From what I've gathered from these issues, it lies within the drivers of the phone.
WiFi works perfectly on every other router I've used with my N4, it's only my home router with the problem. It's a Movistar default router and other users have the same problems with this router (the brand is fairly unknown).
And I'm definitely not guessing that it's a driver issue - I've had this problem for over a month, I've tried everything I can: changing router settings, resetting, etc. So I doubt this is a routing issue but more an issue with the device, and from what I've read on other forums, this could be down to a Qualcomm driver issue.
Thanks for your help anyway!

I am not assuming anything. Simple troubleshooting 101. You're not getting a decent Internet connection. Could be wifi or router. I merely offered a simple method for determining which one.
Don't know who you spoke with at Google, but first couple of support levels don't have the stones to try and solve these things. And while I have no doubt other folks with the same setup are also experiencing this issue and that Google has recorded this info, that doesn't mean that a workaround is impossible.
