Wi-fi problems on the Exec?

Hi,
I tried to connect my XDA to my works wireless network. I needed to get my MAC address added to the DHCP server so my IP address is assigned automatically in my department.
So, when I turn on my Wi-fi it finds the network and I select 'connects to Internet'. The connection now appears as 'available'. Next I tell it to connect and it displays 'connecting.....' then simply returns back to displaying 'available' again. No connection, no error message.
Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? Surely if using DHCP I dont have to configure DNS etc?
Any advice would be great.

I had the same problem with my home wifi.
My wifi router was transmitting on wifi G only.
And when i changed it to B+G wifi transmission,and then it worked.
I then realised that the Exec has in fact a wifi B only...(i thought it had a G since windows mobile 5 is supporting G... but no...)

Wifi but no Internet

Since I bought the HD2 before 2 month and after 2 Rom upgrade I still have the same Wifi problem. I can connect to my home network and the Router can see the HD2 but I can not connect to the Internet through the Wifi. All other computers and PS3 connect just fine. Ip adress seems also ok.
Please help ?

I did have the same problem a while back, and it occured after I used the wifi router. Have you ever used that, even just to try it?

No I never tried the Wifi Router even once and changed rom twice.

Probably not the same issue then. For some reason I had it trying to give me a static IP address that my router wouldn't allow (I've got MAC forwarding on my router to make sure that nothing other than the 4 things I have can connect to it).
When you connect to the wifi, can you open the router admin on your HD2?

Thanks for your help. No I cannot access the router from the HD2, could it be a proxy issue. I am not using a proxy for the internet

No worries mate - I hope I can help!
It's not a proxy issue, if you're not using a proxy server. Could you try this and let me know how you get on?
Start your wifi connection
Go to all settings, connection, wifi, wireless networks, network adapters tab
Select the Broadcom DHD adapter
It should be set to use a server assigned IP address, not a static one. It probably is, but it's worth checking.

When I open Wifi settings I can only open advanced no wireless networks or network adapter tab. How do I get there ?

After you've started wifi, go to the settings tab, menu and all settings. Then carry on the instructions in the last post.

Found the all settings, the DHD adapter is set to server assigned. Any other ideas ?

...
Well i think we have the same problem.. If you try to connect your wireless, do you get the failure after pressing get IP: Cannot obtain serverassigned IP....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627654 my thread was this..
I found out that if i you go under WIFI>ADVANCED>press on the NETWORKCARD under the field "SSID"> then go to the networkcard>Broadcom 802.11 DHD network adapter>remove the pin in use serverassigned, and write a static ip: example: IP: 192.168.1.23
UNDERMASK: 255.255.255.0
STANDARDgateway: 192.168.1.1
That helped for me, though i cannot use that fix because my college wont accept the static IP. so it works for like 2 mins and then it disconnect. hehe.

Heh - that would be pretty much my next suggestion.
Try a static IP address and see if that works. It's not a long-term solution, but it would determine whether it's your phone or the router that's having the problem.
Last time I set a static IP address, I liked it and left it like that, but I found (after a couple of days with no internet access) that it tries to assign the same IP address when you use your data connection for internet access. Your service provider is very unlikely to allow you to use the same IP address, so you probably can't connect.
Like I said, it's a test to see if you can connect - not a solution.
Do you know what IP addresses your router will allow you to use? Do you have a specified range of addresses, for example?

I have this exact same problem. I can connect to wifi networks at home, office, etc... But no network access. It connects to the AP's, gives me an IP Address, but I can't ping anything!
This thing gets more and more frustrating daily.

It also happened to me. Turns out it was the router I was using. I bought a new one earlier today and problem solved!

Hi!
I got a d-link dgl-4300 router, and had problem getting a IP adr. from it. When I gave my HD2 a static IP it worked, but very slow. After I changed from DHD network adapter to NE 2000 compatible ethernet driver it get IP from router and I can browse internet through wifi fast. Maybe it can help u 2.
regards Xes.

Cant' access youtube, android market, and other google services...

on WiFi...
This happens on my Thunderbolt, Transformer, and on my wife's iPhone. Stock roms and custom roms, it doesn't matter. Once I put the device back on the cellular network (I tether the Transformer)the services are able to connect. This issue occurs in the official Google apps as well as the web browser.
My home network is powered by a D-Link DIR 825, DNS points to the router @192.168.0.1
The router is able to resolve youtube.com and other google services.
Windows PC's are able to access affected services.
For some reason when I'm on my Android devices they don't play well on my WiFi network. I had the same issue occur with my MBP 2011 model. My solution was to force google dns server.
Unfortunately my D-Link doesn't give me the option to manually configure the DNS server being sent through DHCP. So I can't force just the DNS server on the Android / iOS devices. Any idea's or thoughts on what's going on?
Again, I can ping youtube.com from the router and below is more info on my ISP.
Telemedia Solutions hosted by Washington County Rural Telecommunications
DSL Service
6Mbps down 768k up
Located in Southern Indiana
Again, once devices are moved to the mobile network I have no issues. WiFi at my work works just fine during the day for my Android devices. I have cleared data / cache for the browser and youtube apps in Android.
Any thought's or suggestions?

You say the devices work fine at work, di you have to set a static IP address for them at work?
If yes, then have you made sure to switch back to DHCP when you are at work? (assuming your home network runs DHCP?)

No, I dont run static IP's at work.
I'm the network administrator and manage the wireless network at work so thankfully I have control over the design and layout of our wireless networks.
The network consists of Cisco serise WLC 5500 with Cisco 1141 AP's. The wireless network is a WPA2 Enterprise network.
DNS is handled by our AD server.
I almost questioned my home ISP DNS but if the router can resolve the IP then it should be able to resolve for any host requesting that information. I'm wondering if these Unix like devices (Android, iOS, OS X) are trying to resolve or handle the resolution process differently.
Again, Windows resolves the domain just fine. I may check configurations files to see the order of name resolution.

To clarify.
Router IP on my end 192.168.100.64
ISP DSL modem is 192.168.100.1(primary dns)
ISP dns is 137.118.1.33(secondary dns for router)

I ran a packet capture from the tablet and every time it tries to resolve the name the tablet receives a Reset response.
54 Domain [RST, ACK]

I'm even more pissed...aparently I can resolve the name if I do a ping youtube.com in the terminal emulator. I can't access the app or website however...but it works on PC's.
I'm wondering if it's outdated firmware on my router. Unfortunately this piece of $hi7 D-Link refuses to accept the upgraded firmware.

Performed a factory reset on the router.
Setup a quick and dirty wireless network and still couldn't access google services from it.
I attempted to upgrade the firmware again with the system freshly reset and it was still a no go. I'm thinking of ditching this POS router.

This may be a long shot but can you try setting your router ip as 192 168 0 1, then your phone as 192 168 0 2. Mine had troubles on higher ip ranges
Sent from my Nexus S

I did a packet capture from the phone and tablet and this is what I see.
Packet 15 - DNS query for youtube.com
Packet 16 - DNS response with the IP address
Packet 17 - A TCP Packet is sent to the router on port 53
Packet 18 - A TCP Packet is received with the [RST, ACK] flag set.
Then I see this pattern as I was hitting refresh over and over. The connection is getting reset for some reason.
Reading D-Link forums it appears that some people have issues with this router "blocking" some websites. I think it's simply an issue of $hi77y firmware and unfortunately I can't upgrade it. I've verified my downloads, followed the directions to the T, but it will not accept the firmware.

Well I upgraded to a Linksys E2000 with DD-WRT firmware and everything works fine

[email protected]#*/$..Wifi at end of patience

I've run into Wifi connection issues with a particular Wifi network. I've read thread after thread and tried all the usual procedures but no luck so far...
SGN3
EE UK network
Not rooted, stock rom
Zerolemon 10000mAh battery
BT Wifi network
Basic BT Wifi router.
The SGN3 connects to other wireless networks just not this one. Other devices connected include:
2 x ipads
3 x I phones
1 x Google nexus
1 x Alienware Dell M18 laptop w Windows
1 x BT broadband TV on demand box
Now i have tried switching off half of these other devices and then rebooting the Wifi but still the SGN3 won't connect...
Authentication Error. ..
I'm loathe to attempt to issue fixed ip addresses as the BT TV Box won't allow it and it's not my network as we are currently staying with relatives between a house move. It is infuriating as being a basement flat, I can't get the mobile data network.
Any ideas that don't involve static ip?
FYI
Other devices added to the network have no issues.

try fiddling around with the security in the wireless section in the router. Some old 802.11n chips (on routers) that do not have 5ghz have problems with newer devices.

Authentication error sounds like a bad password or Auth method.

Another problem that I have seen in some WiFi routers is a sort of "confusion" over the encryption method - in theory WPA2 should be able to use both the older TKIP and the newer and more standard AES, but for some reason the router 'confuses' the two and you must force a specific one of them (not necessarily the same on all models) inside the router - experiment with both but I have seen most often things being fixed by forcing WPA2+AES.

Looks like configuration related issues.
# In your router if you’re using static IP did you enabled DHCP?
# If DHCP enabled does it has range of IP which can fulfill all devices? Like if you have 10 device your DHCP IP range should be at least 10 or above. From 100 to 110 or 110+ etc
# If using static IP you must use Address Reservation for each device with their mac address otherwise when all device reconnect router cant assign IP for each. When all device are connected using Static IP try connecting the Note 3 > when asking authenticate password > put pass > check mark advance setting > check your router for which IP is free, which you want to assign for note 3 > on note 3 under advance setting choose static IP (its DHCP by default) > put the same IP and save. If this connect check your router and take the mac address of note 3 and assign a Address Reservation for the note 3 mac with the same IP.
# If its showing Authentication Error then definitely its password related issue. Use WPA2/PSK and AES encryption (if other device supports). When connecting it shows obtaining IP address. If no IP free, it will keep showing that.
# while doing this turn off mobile data, after all done you can turn it on. However mobile data isn’t an issue for this.

Thanks all it was a channel issue. The router kept shifting channel. Software update has solved it.

Cant connect to one specific wifi network

Hi everyone,
At my parents' place, there is a wifi extender in my room.
Every possible electronic I have is able to connect to it, except my s10+ for some reason.
My uncle has the same phone and for him, it works fine.
Everywhere else where I connect to wifi it works, its just this specific router.
I get an error message saying "Couldn't get IP address
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how I can fix this?

Maybe they have static IP only enabled on their WiFi. Mine requires me to program one in (within range of addresses) or you have static enabled and one of their devices is using that IP.
Use his device to see the config (settings>wifi>tap hold on connection to wifi name>modify or view if available. Type the same into yours but change the last part of the IP (ie. 192.168.6.88 change the 88 to 193. Any number under 254 higher the better chance of it being free. Use the same info as theirs. )
IE
IP 192.168.6.193
Gateway 192.168.6.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (whatever theirs is)
DNS 1 is 75.75.75.75 or whatever theirs is
DNS 2 is. 75.75.76.76 or whatever theirs is
If that fails then reboot their router and use WPS (Google it got your phone model. Should be settings>wifi> 3 for menu top right somewhere in there as WPS Setup)
