Hello,
First, its not that the router have problems, because I can connect an iphone and 2 other pc through wireless!
On wi-fi connection settings I can see the wireless connection. But when I try to connect to it, it stays "connecting" and then it fails and automatically become Unavailable!!
Any idea how to fix this problem?
router: Level One WBR-6001
I have exactly the same problem. Well try to work this out. I have two broadband lines in my home. One broadband line has a Zoom Router on it. The other Broadland line has a Dlink Router. My P3600 (WM6.1) can connect via Wifi to the Dlink router no problems with any Encryption. However, when I ever try connecting to the Zoom router I can see the wireless connection. But when I try to connect to it, it stays "connecting" and then it fails and automatically become Unavailable. I even can access unsecured networks up to 500 yards in my street. Anyhow I contact HTC support and they are one of the worst customer support group i have ever come across. They takes ages to respond to e-mails and offer stupid solutions that do not work. They Are as much good as a fireguard in a chocolate factory. So I contacted Zoom Support that do not what is causing the problem but at least they are in investgating the issue unlike HTC who seem not to be interested. My money is on the router.
Confirmed from HTC the problem was my router. I got new one a 3com router started working right away.
I had a 3com before this one and it worked well with my phone.
but i had to change it cuz it got broken
I have a weird situation. I have an SMC8014W-G modem/router at my upstairs desktop and D-Link DAP-1360 Range Extender on the main floor. I can connect from wifi being initially turned off to either spot no problem. BUT I cannot move my phone or tablet from one of their locations to another unless I turn off my Tablet`s WiFi for about 5-10 minutes before turning at back on at the new location, or it will not connect. This is a problem with my network, because the same thing happens on my android phone. Still working on it. I`ve seen others across the web talk about this problem with other mobile devices, while saying the problem doesn`t happen on PC type devices like laptops.
To test that out, I turned my phone's hotspot on. Using my tablet I was able to switch between my home connection and my phone's wifi signal back and forth with no delay at all. But moving from my router's location to my repeater's location could not be done unless I waited 5-10 minutes whether it's on my phone or my tablet.
The entire network is on "802.11 G" (can't used mixed mode or N, that's a whole other story we're not going to get into here) and both router and repeater are set to exactly the same gateway, DNS, network name etc. Encryption is WPA2. The only difference between them is that my main router is set to be a DHCP server, while the repeater is not (it says I can leave DHCP Server off if the router's is on. Perhaps that's wrong, I still have to try that). And my router settings only shows WPA2-PSK while my repeater has more detailed options showing WPA2 Cipher Type: AES PSK/EAP: Personal.

I have a similar problem with my TP-link WA5210G wifi extender.
My laptop connect fine,but my phones for some reason don't want to connect,they just stay on the obtaining IP and don't connect,i have mine in universal repeater.
And my phone and PS3 will just not connect.
I am guessing that you have this thing turned on in "Repeater Mode"?
Are you using it in Repeater or WDS mode?
Repeater but I solved the issue with newer router now it's handing off properly. There's a slight disconnect and reconnect for a few secs when moving between the 2 points but that's liveable

That's how it should be unless you're using the commercial routers I use at work. Those are generally way above consumer price points, though. Even at my house, I have a four second handoff time between router and AP.
Is there a way to set up my phone to disconnect from wi-fi when the signal is weak instead of non-existent? When I get out in my yard my phone still picks up the wi-fi signal from my router but the connection is so weak that I get data connection errors. I'd like to set a minimum -db so that unless there is a strong connection it'll switch to 3g.
set your router
You can try to add an AP so that you can get strengthened siginal at you yard...
I'm trying to figure out a wifi roaming issue I've noticed that the OnePlus 5 seems to have some issue when roaming from AP with an SSID to another AP with the same SSID.
What happens is I see the roam occur (the wifi icon goes from low signal to full signal and with wifi analyzer it shows it's migrated to the new AP) but then the phone seems to get stuck and is unable to send / recieve data.
A quick tap on / off of airplane mode immediately resolves this issue but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this and has figured out which settings on their router the phone doesn't seem to like?
I have other devices on the network and they don't seem to have this roaming issue so it does seem like it's isolated to this phone.
The issue seems to occur most often when roaming from the DDWRT Netgear WNDR4300 (Atheros platform) to the TPLink c20i (AC router on a Realtek platform)
Same problem here. Asus router and asus extender.
Yes, me too. I have a Virgin router downstairs and TP link extender upstairs. When I go upstairs I have to touch off the wifi on my phone for a second and it will then connect.
A bit annoying but generally speaking I am very happy with the phone.
Hi:
I have two WiFis in the farthest points of my home. If my S10+ is connected to one of them and I move to the other point (where the signal is very weak), the mobile doesn't connect to the other WiFi signal that is much stronger. I need to make the change manually.
How to force the mobile to recognize the strongest WiFi signal in my home and to connect to it?
Is it any setting option for this or maybe an app???
