Market and Gmail won't connect via wifi, but will over 2G/3G..Other internet works

We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?

Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G. Tried opening port 5228 TCP and UDP as suggested in an older thread, but that did not work. Something changed at Google?
Update: problem went away by itself 2 days later.
I9000 stock 2.3.3

We have 3 android phones- all with the same problem.. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v3.
Edit-Reset router and the problem continues...

Check the firewall router

There is no firewall A's far A's I know. Just a wireless DSL and a router, and I have not configured any firewall...I reset the router to factory settings and it still won't work....

Try some other wifi area. Is the problem same or not. Maybe it's good to delete APN from settings and let it configure again.

have you tried paying you're cable bill?

seriously.. the phones all connect via other wifi networks just fine. They connect to this router just fine as well.. All internet connectivity is great except anything to do with google's apps.. youtube, maps, gmail, market.. none will work, but google.com on the browser works fine.

I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.
1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)
2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)
3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.

Hope it works for you guys!

I had same problem but reset of router helped...

You know what, I think it's the operator or google's dirty trick. For no obvious reason, I am blocked out of market again with wifi. I can surf on porn sites with wifi but no luck on market and google's stuff!

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!

Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.

I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..

If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.

[Q] Help! My acer A500 no longer accesses the Internet

Guys a week ago I bought my acer a500 Iconia yesterday I updated it to version 3.1, it was fast hands, much improved, I turned on my wifi connected it more often when I was browsing it does not access the Internet more and more strange I I can even access my router. Then I saw in that topic if you give it a reset back 2x the wifi to work properly. The more I did it and did not work, so I found the website of acer patch to fix the problem, I used more problem remained, so I downloaded another update.zip to update it to version 3.2, more el is still with the same problem does anyone know how to solve this?

First thing I'd do is try a hard reset the device..see where that takes you. Have you tried other routers, or tried connecting a different device to your router (to make sure it's not a router issue...)? If not, try restarting your router and modem first.
I take it you're running stock/not rooted?

I use the stock 3.2 ROM, I think the problem is the router, I used a program to use my laptop as a router and it worked, but not yet tested on a real router, but I think it's IP.

had this to
I had this when I bought my tablet (back when it had 3.1).
as fast as I got home and tried it the first time all networks around me could be found except for the one in our house.
I did a factory-reset on the tablet but it didn't work.
then i did a factory-reset on my router (since I lost the admin password). this seemed to work and after reïnstalling the ISP's things it functioned completely again.
I would suggest you change the channel of your wifi, the protection and retype the SSID.
also clear the logs and the firewall blocks.
If you retried connecting with these instructions leave a message here with your results

i try make what you says, but dont workink , my probleme is my router...
thanks!

I'm having weird wifi issues...

I just installed a new rom after not using my N7 for a few months. As soon as I used it, it seemed to work fine. Then I tried using an app I downloaded and it said no connection. I tried fixing my connection thinking it was the router. I reset it and started from scratch but still, no connection. My laptop and cell phone wifi worked fine. Then I figured I'd try something. Since the whole time, it said that my connection was perfect and I was a couple feet from the router I decided to try another app. Play Store worked fine. I tried googling the issue in Chrome and I had the search results returned fine. But when you go to a certain site, it says no internet connection. If it helps, the rom is the Penguin Rom 1.1.

That doesn't sound like a WiFi problem.
More likely:
- remote site down
- firewall/NAT issues depending on what your (nefarious?) app does
- DNS black hole (ad blocker?)
- blocking by your ISP? (rarely)
only way to know for sure is to use a packet sniffer or possibly using routers' logging facilities, depending on what it is capable of.
good luck

Phone wifi says connected but I have no access

Hey guys, I have a problem and I feel like I've tried all I can think of to try and fix it. I got both my wife and I 2 kyocera rises. We activated them and all that and got them setup on our home wifi.
Well, I noticed that my rise will work fine and surf the net fine but at random times I won't be able to access the internet (Or any internet apps) even though it says i'm connected to the network. It will work if I use that connection widget to turn off the wifi and turn it back on but then it does the same thing, says i'm connected but i'm unable to use browsers/apps. The things I have tried was: Restart the phone, Reset the modem and router, factory reset the phone (Thinking it might be an app conflict), change the router channels, and I've even setup the phone for static IP.
Nothing is working and i'm at a stand still. The weird thing though is I believe my wives phone doesnt have this problem. She doesn't surf the web as much as I do but she occasionally goes onto the phone and never complains. If it helps, the router I am using is the Netgear WNR3500L. Does anybody have any ideas I can try out?

Nope, it won't even connect to a domains ip addresses.

Manually set IP information on your phone and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google). Otherwise I'd recommend checking for the latest update on the Wireless router.

I will try that and see how it is. My friend that used to work for sprint told me to disable connections optimizer as well as it has problems.
UPDATE: I thought it was working but it isn't I decided to grab my wifes phone to see if the same was happening to hers at the same time as mine and it does. Well, so it must be something wrong with my network but I'm not sure what. There's no new firmware updates either. The weird thing is, I tried my nexus 7 and my t.v.'s wifi and they both work so something is making the androids not want to stay connected or something.

Androids have this weirdness with Wi-Fi. Try disabling security.

Factory reset the router and set it back up.

I found the problem. It was intact the firmware but there was no firmware updates from net gear but then I remembered my router is open source. So I decided to try flashing tomato onto my router and now my phones aren't dropping the connection. Thanks for the help guys!

Wifi Issue

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.

Hello,
Try to change wifi router security settings wpa, wpa2.
