Wifi wrong password - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes my I9500 disconnect from my netgear router, saying that the password is wrong. I already tried different roms, official and non official. I also have updated my netgear router with the last firmware. Nothing actually solved the problem.
P. S. Seems if I put my 2.4ghz Wifi to work on 54mbps helps, but didn't solve the problem. And no, my notebook and tablet does not have the same problem, so it is not the router. A college of mine have the same issue with his galaxy S3 and his linksys router

Probably you should set your security to wpa2 and aes in your router.

But it is WPA2...

unable to connect to WLAN

Hi!
I do have problem to connect the device (o2 xda mini S) to WLAN. It recognizes the network, asks for the WPA-PSK key and then attempts to connect - but fails.
If I configure the device with a static IP this IP shows up during the
connection process after a while but the device isn't connected anyway.
If I use DHCP I get no IP ever.
I also tried a very simple 8 alphanum character key.
What may be wrong here?
I hope you get an answer soon, because I have the same problem. Enter the key, then no connect. I also tried it with security turned off on the router, no connect. This thing connected every time before 2.26 ROM update.
bump - having the same issue

Hope there's a reply; having the same issue but I think it's router specific too. I am on Dlink DI-614+ and a friend of mine who has DI-524 (i think) has no problem connecting reconnecting.
if you figure out a way to get it to work, please PM me... I have not figured out this problem yet.
I might try to disable all of my router settings (WEP).. but that would only mess my already configured other devices up.
Stupid question, but is it a B/G router or is it configured to only do one of them ?
Well, I got it to work by disabling encryption and leaving the AP all open...
So, apparently the software has some WPA-PSK-related bugs
Same thing with 2.24a Mr.Clean. Open AP works fine, and any encryption messes the whole thing up. The connection is done, it even gets the IP - and continues to blink arrows and no data comes through.
Windows Mobile only knows TKIP but as I was using AES and wanted to continue using AES on the other machines I configured the router to provide "TKIP and AES". Well, this didn't work but TKIP only actually works now.
I've been having the same problems, could connect to unsecured networks, no problems. The thing would just refuse to connect to my home WLAN (Belkin 54G set to B/G), secured with WPA-PSK and TKIP data encryption. However, just updated the router's firmware from the Belkin website, and BINGO!!!! It found the router, I entered the key and immediately connected, fast too. Just try updating the firmware of your router!
I agree on the router upgrades. And some routers are just crap, sorry to say. I've had bad luck with Belkins and Netgears. Linksys and D-Link typically give me much less problems. You also need to make sure that you installed the registry settings to enable G networks on you device (of course)
I have a Sonicwall using WPA-PSK with no problems.
I personally like molski's tweaks to make the necessary registry settings on my device ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58438
Hope I was of some help.

WLan and WPA

Searched and searched, Has anyone had an issue with using the wlan SD8686 with WPA?
I can connect with no security and with WEP and I am able to browse the web.
I can still connect to the router using any of the WPA but can not get any pages to load in IE only works with wep or no security. 3 other laptops work fine.
Any idea? HTC Tech support no help.

I can't answer.. but that reminds me the WPA issue that I have with the HTC Touch ..... my Touch is unable to use any WPA ... when connected the touch just freeze .. and I have to soft-reset and hope to the Wireless not connecting before being connected before disabling the Wireless.
it seems that WPA or the wireless chip is really bad ... but don't know which one !
Shift works fine with WPA I am currently using TKIP+AES
I have had nothing but issues with my Shift and Belking N Router using WEP...
Sometimes it would connect, the majority of the time the shift couldn't see the network and it did connect it would lose connection. I tried it with WEP and also with no security and also with MAC address authentication only. Every 50 times I tried to connect, it would connect maybe once.
So, decided to use my old standard 54g Belking router. Guess what, no issue so far with no security applied. Was planning to try it with WEP later....

I live in US and unit was from UK think this could be a problem with WPA?
I have no problem with NO security and NO problem with WEP only with any type of WPA. Also searching the net, seems like the wirerless chip in the SHIFT not a very good track record, lots of driver issues

Can you tell me what the Driver VER No is on your shift tfor the network card?
My unit has the Marvell SD-8686
Wifi
I had problems, sometimes the shift could not find my network, sometimes it woeked.
after setting my dlink dir655 router in b/g moder rather than b/g/draft n mode all has worked so far.
ok guys i use linksys running open source dd-wrt v23 sp2 firmware; works great; i must admit i have not used the shift on other wifi network routers....
No connection
Hi,
maybe someone can help. Since yesterday I belong tot he proud owners. But, but, I can’t get a connection to the internet over my WLAN router.
Router Netgear WPNT834. Whatever I did no luck: either I get the message: limited connectivity or only local Zugriff connection something like that.
No problem with XP notebooks, but with Shift and Vista.
Has anyone an idea what causes the problem? Is it the router?
Do you know any router you can recommend: strong signal and reliability?
Thanks

No issue with WPA here
Hi Settembrini,
So you got your Shift from Amazon.de at the same time as they delivered mine after all
Regarding the WiFi connection to the router, it seems to be some routers / chipsets.
I am also using WPA (with a Siemens SX550i router) and it worked without any problems. The Shift detected an encrypted network with hidden SSID and after I entered the SSID and the encryption password it connected immediately and with a stable connection.
WLAN access
Hi mw65719
yes, more or less same time.
So what is the conclusion? It is my Netgear router WPNT834, why I do not get a connection? Need for a new router it seems!
Thanks!
S.
Yes same here, I just bought the new Belkin N1 Vision router and all other equipment works but the Shift can't even see the the router. I just hooked a netgear router in series with the belkin and the Shift can now see the Netgear..... Was worried for a bit there.... Really annoyed about the shift not being able to see the belkin, the Belkin wasn't cheap.
Hi,
I was not able to establish a connection to my Netgear router WPNT834, then I tried the Speedport 700 V and it worked without any problems, no special settings in Vista neccessary.
I guess you have a different Netgear router than mine.

wap2 AES

I'm having an issue with my work wifi...I can't see it...I thought that it was because I was using a leaked ROm but I odined back to stock, updated to JI6 using KIES mini and still can't see it...other user here has a Droix X and he can see it and another has a NOOK Color and can see it...
The network it's secure WAP2 AES...any ideas?
bump
10 char
i think you mean wpa2 aes. I was having a similar problem, except my phone could see the access point but couldnt connect. If you have access to the router try changing the wireless channel as there may be interference. Can you still connect to other access points?
Is your work running 2.4ghz or a 5ghz router?
I have wpa2 aes at the crib and I'm able to connect just fine with JL5

Cant connect to my WiFI

Got my 10.1 yesterday, it connected fine to my parents WiFi and Starbuck's... no go on my cisco wireless router at home. Anyone else have issues with connecting to a WiFi? I tried WPA2 and WPA, reset the device multiple times, even tried a static and it was a no go.
I can't connect to my Linksys router but I can connect to the qwest modem its attached to.
When connecting to my Linksys router it says obtaining IP address on both my tab and my galaxy s 4g but never obtains one. I did some research and a lot of people solved this problem by using a static IP for their device but my network is set up dhcp and I'd love to find a solution without having to setup a static IP.
I've also noticed when I'm using the wifi on my tab and sgs4g I experience a delay when loading pages and using data. I have a hspa+ tower right next to my house and when I use 4g or tether 4g to my tab I don't experience this lag. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Tried adding my MAC address and it got me one step closer (Obtaining IP), the router said it was giving it one, but it wouldn't take it.
I will post more details of the router that I use so we can compare the types and figure this out.

Some routers wifi the speed of the internet gets very slow?

Hi guys,
I have problem with the wifi, some routers wifi the speed of the internet gets very slow. The problem happens with routers from the company 'Net Virtua' and 'Vivo' in Brazil. In other companies the speed is normal. Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it?
Android 9
Patch June / 2019
There is currently two bugs that i know.
1. If you have Bluetooth AND Location activated, the wifi is slow. Disabling at least one of the two partially solves the problem.
2. Wpa2 psk aes is broken. Switching to wpa2 psk tkip solve the problem, but this is not secure.
