[Q] Limited connectivity wifi issue

I just bought a Rogers arc and everything is great so far, except the wifi. For whatever reason when i try to connect to my home network, although it recognizes it and connects i get a "limited connectivity" which effectively does not allow me to use wifi at all. ive tryed rebooting the phone and reseting my router (which is a D-link DI-524.) any help would be appreciated.

you could go in the router settings and register the phones mac address to a ip of your choice. it should do the trick i think...

I finally figured out what the problem was, i had to update the firmware on the router and then manually add the MAC address like dogggie said and after a reboot voila!

I don't want to make another thread since my problem is similar to this one. So in my school there is a hiden Wi-FI network and it has got a password, but we know Name and Password, so we can connect to Wi-Fi. But here is the thing: My friend who has SGS2 connect's without any problems, but everytime I try to connect to Wi-FI i get "Limited Connectivity" mesage. Is there any way to fix this? Can I somehow get Gateway and Netmask from router, so I can set static IP on my phone or sometheing like that?
Thanks for answers.

Zanimivo, na kero šolo hodš?
I have the same problem. Hidden Wi-Fi in school, limited connectivity. Works for some people, doesn't for most.
I have used CM7 for some time and the Wi-Fi worked with it, but I flashed the stock ROM back and now, again, it doesn't work.

Oo, another one form Slovenia Lep pozdrav. Šola je pa TŠC Kranj.
It also worked for me when I was testing Offical Beta ICS, but now I am back on stock 2.3.4 and all I can get is limited conectivity

Same school.

Today it works. I have just manual set gateway, DNS servers, netmask and my own IP.

Cool. Mind sharing the values you used?

can't connect to my home wifi

i got my new omnia 7 today and i can't connect to my home wifi router. i tried to disable security, tried wep.....but it allways says "couldn't reach wifi network" or "password incorect". i tried to reset my router and my omnia 7, but nothing helped.
thanks in advance!

today, i connected just fine on one open ap, and one wep protected ap, but i still can't connect to my home wi fi ap. really confusing. my laptop and old htc prophet connects just fine, but my new omnia 7 won't. any advice?
thanks!

ok, so since no one tried to help me here, i tried every single thing on my router and it seems that the phone can't handle b+g standards, so i switched to g allone and now i'm able to connect. i hope this will help someone else too.

Nice tip
Hey man,i guess no one had the problem or didnt know what to do,anyway i had a differrent problem,when i was close to my router (no more than 8 meters) my phone connected normaly to the wifi,but once i was in my room which is further away from the router the phone wouldnt connect although it showed the wifi router signal had two bars,i tried your method in switching to g only and it worked ,now i connect to my wifi with no problem,thx for the tip ,hope they fix the issue in mango,cheers.

I have the same problem with my wifi router.
My phone is HTC 7 Throphy.
I have to reset my router every time my phone needs to connect to it.
My router is configured for DHCP.
I noticed that if there is a wireless device connected to my wifi network,
my phone gives that error and cannot connect.
If I try to connect to a wifi network which is secured with a password,
I always get 'Incorrect password' message.
I try reseting my phone with no effect.
I'm still looking for a solution.

Same prob here....

no problem man.
it seems that there are many troubles with wifi on windows phone 7 and many users are complaining. i hope too that mango will fix most of those issues. mango will bring possibility to connect to hidden network.
for other users posting on this topic, i suggest that they try switching to g standard only, becose i too had this incorect password message allways poping up before the switching. it can be done in the router web configuration interface. u get in usualiy by typing 192.168.1.1 in your adress bar.

My router is on g standart only but I still get that error.

well, if you know what you'r doing, you could try different configurations in your router. play with the settings and see if it will work, but again, only if you'r sure you won't screw up anything.

I found a fix.
In my router settings I changed the Chanel from 6 to 10.
I think the problem is that I have too many wireless devices in a small room.

you lucky bastards with wifi connectivity.. i have a pppoe account on my wifi and there is no way for me to connect to it whatsoever.

if you have access to your router settings, you can change briged to routed connection.

for some reason, i can't access router! i tried contacting my ISP, did not want to die waiting for an answer.
but i remember trying to do that before, and not knowing how.
Could you post a link with the instructions, zemljak?

you have a pm.

i dont know if you are receiving my pm's, i dont see it them in sent.

I have this intermittent connection on a netgear wireless router too, its set to use dhcp, and only fix is a reboot of the router.
I think the phone is storing an ip (dhcp assigned) which when you reconnect to your wifi may have been re-assigned (ip lease) to a.n.other device in the meantime.
So, lets say on Monday I obtained 192.168.0.2
didnt access the wifi for a day or so
lease expires (router)
a.n.other device connects, e.g. iPad, obtained 192.168.0.2 via dhcp
then you try and use your wifi on your phone and it doesnt connect.....
so I think it might be storing the ip address, rather than checking for a new one each time it connects, or something similar.

Over a half year I had the same problem. But now I fixed it, by simply change the wlan-key, because in my old key I had letters like ä, ö, ü. That didn´t work. May be this works for you.

FIX!

Hi,
I have Nokia Lumia 800 with Windows Phone 7.5 and also have problems with my home wifi connection. Firstly I had an old pentagram router and couldn't to connect with it, I tried WPA, WPA 2, WEP, WPA 2 mixed or even no security, always had the same problem, shows "network don't respond".
The phone itself connects to other networks, but not my home network.
I thought that it was problem with my router (but every other device had no problems with conenction, ipad, galaxy s, laptops or even TV), so I took another router (techniklab) and I have the same problem.
On both routers in "active clients" I saw the phone when it was trying to connect, logs looks like:
Code:
Aug 20 22:13:31 wlan0: WPA2-AES PSK authentication in progress...
Aug 20 22:13:31 wlan0: A wireless client is associated - 50:2D:1D:E2:8A:87
Aug 20 22:13:31 wlan0: Open and authenticated
Aug 20 22:13:53 wlan0: A wireless client is disassociated - 50:2D:1D:E2:8A:87
Windows on my phone is up to date, router firmware also.
I can add that from couple of days I have Windows 8 (on PC) and it also cannot connect to my router, could it be some problems in new microsoft windows??
Any suggestions?

[Q] i9505 5ghz WiFi Issue

At home I have a 2.4ghz and 5ghz Wifi network setup.
My S4 is always connected to the 5ghz and has never had any problems. My partners iDevices are also connected to it.
The other day when I got home I noticed that I kept getting the error 'Your internet connection is unstable' and couldn't use the 5ghz if I wasn't directly in front of the router. No settings had changed, no updates etc. It will discover and connect to the network but it won't load webpages or anything.
There is no new firmware for my router, I have tried all the different channels, and have even reset the router, and as a temporary fix I've only been using the 2.4ghz network. My iPad still works fine on the 5ghz anywhere in the house, and my partner has had no issues.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have a solution?
I'm running the stock 4.3 on the phone as I haven't even tried flashing it.

did you changed some wifi settings on your phone ??
cos if that happens you have to match the settings same both on pc{ of router } and phone
even if you are sure that you haven't changed anything just make sure and check the settings again

No 5 GHz WIFI found after first installation

Hi,
I got my X play XT1562 (french dual sim) just yesterday and when I first started it I was able to connect to my 5 GHz WIFI. Then the backup was restored by this default android function from my Moto G. It seems to have restored some WIFI settings since it knows my 2,4GHz WIFI passwords. However, the phone now does not een see the 5GHZ WIFIs anymore.
Anybody with the same issues? Any ideas?

Try resetting the network settings from backup and reset in settings.

The obvious one to try is change the 5GHz channel on the router, probably not that but it wont hurt to rule it out.

So true it was, thanks. It seems immediatly after the first start after a reset the WIFI can be seen, but no connection is possible. Staying on this screen 1 minute afterwards the 5GHz WIFI spots are gone.
I found out my router was configured as region US even though living in GER. Once I chose a channel which is available in Germany too, this 5GHz net can be seen on the Moto X.
Thx for the hint.

Wifi not working properly after pie update

Mi Mi A1 can't connect to my home wi-fi, or if it connects, it will automatically disconnect after a while:
My router appears in the WiFi menu, stating that it is a "saved connection", but when i click on the ssid it just shows that he's trying to connect but then it goes back to the list of wifi networks, without showing any errors etc.
I've got no mac filter on my router so it can't be the new mac randomizer update already stated in the forum.
It all used to work well before updating to Pie (no root, no vpn method).
Thanks for your attention, let me know if i can provide more info about this problem

Identical issues for me, with identical conditions (no root/unlock)...

Anyone knows how to solve? I tried everything but nothing seems to work...

I'm having the same problem but only with some networks. No idea what's causing it.

had the same issue and after disabling "A-MPDU" or switched back to 54g only in router settings it worked again.

I suggest you try to disable the 5 GHz band on the router and see if it helps... on my old router running only on 2,4 GHz wifi works fine, but many other users are reporting problems, so it might be an issue with dual band routers; it's worth a try.

That's not the issue, I have a dual band router in my house and it works just fine.

Yet not all users had their MAC address changed with the update, so maybe not every terminal is subject to the issue... just saying.

I have same problem. It was due to change in Mac address during update.. I just simply login to router page...by 191.168.1.1
In wireless>wireless Mac filtering> add it latest MAC address along with new name...save it and try...it worked for me.

I've got no mac filtering enabled on my modem so this is definitely not the problem. Seems a problem with the 5ghz frequency. maybe reduced bands or stability problems - can anyone check which bands are enabled for 5ghz connection?

Apparently the problem is the Modem of the official Pie ROM, because the latest Pie update have issues with LTE bands and WiFi. Hope Xiaomi will release a fix soon!

A1 over home WiFi does not work correctly. Internet access is available, but it is impossible to view mail on gmail, send pictures to tweeter, whatsup. PIE version obtained by OTA, root no. MAC address when updating to PIE changed. There is no filtering on the router by MAC. Range one 2.4. I changed the firmware of the router, did a complete reset of the Mi A1 to the factory settings. Forced to assign DNS. The result on the home router is not reached. 8 Android devices are connected to the router. All work without problems with all resources.

In my modem settings I can deactivate the 801.11n standard and only use 801.11g (with max speed 54mbit). Since AMPDU is a "n" feature it makes sense that this works, too.
I hope Xiaomi will fix this soon, I have issues with other Wifi access points, which I can't change

Unfortunately, I can't even change this. The only thing my modem allows is turning 5ghz on/off 2.4ghz on/off and manually changing the channel and the band width

I suggest you try to change Wi-Fi encryption from Wpa2-psk (AES) to wpa2-psk (TKIP). Other users regained access to their Wi-Fi this way.

Same problem here..... im using MAC filter/TKIP/2.4Ghz (5Ghz OFF), disabled mac filter as workaround waiting for a fix
EDIT: Ok fix found, just remove the previous mac (before update to pie) from the mac whitelist
