Leo as Wifi Router

Hi - I cannot find this feature working - simply I start it up but cannot see the setup network via my laptops so I have excluded problem with it. Any ideas?

It is very unstable, I often never see the network after having enabled wifi router. The only solution I have found is to try several times and/or softreset the phone and try again.

Mine only works when the HD2 is right next to my laptop. The range is horrific. Still, I don't use the function. I'm quite happy internet sharing over a bluetooth connection.

i found that it wont work if you enable wireless N.but work with G without tweak using BSB

The Wifi router works very well for me and I use it regularly. This was one of the many features that attracted me to the HD2.
When I enable it on the HD2 from the com manager, my laptop connects automatically. Try restarting your laptop, once you had enabled the Wifi router to discover it if you are having problems.
In terms of range my HD2 is normally kept in the same room, and I have no problem with signal strength. Plus I rather keep my HD2 close so that I get my calls and messages. It is a mobile phone after all.
I can then surf for hours. (Low bandwidth web browsing eg reading XDA/email so not to go over internet allowance).
I have not yet enabled wireless N while using this feature.

I found that my PC could only see my HD2 as a Wi-Fi router when I switched my normal home broadband router off. Once I did that, it could suddenly see the HD2 and reported a full strength signal. I connected and everything worked perfectly.
Hope that helps.

What is the advantage over USB/bluetooth tethering?

none of my apps work over wifi, except browser. Need help

I only have wifi for a few weeks now. And I'm realizing that GV, market, all of them, don't work over wifi. Browser works fine. I've had wifi and cell signal since january, only now am I without a cell signal.
I think there must be something I'm missing. Any help?

Wi-fi not working

After connecting to 3 different wireless connections and none of then working, I'm concluded that my wifi isn't working.
I go to settings and check wifi on, it finds the network, connects, but I lose my entire data connection for the duration wifi is turned on!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant

I'm having the same issues with the wifi. I downloaded wifi analyzer to make sure I was on a good channel. Set it to the best channel and my signal strength is 100%. I will be able to connect for a little bit but for some reason it goes in and out, connection unsuccessful, yada yada yada. I messed with all the troubleshooting solutions for my router (dgl-4300) but nothing works. If anyone can reply with a fix or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

Same Issues
Any help is greatly appreciated. Data working fine when on 3G but Wifi = no data. Connection is fine, IP is fine.
UPDATE: It's working again on my home WIFI. Will have to see if it's just an "at work" issue. Hopefully IT can assist.

Same problem with Verizon MiFi
I have had ZERO problems connecting to the Linksys access points we have setup at my home and my office, but recently my work provided me with a Verizon MiFi (as well as an iPad - don't hate ) and I've had MANY issues trying to get my Vibrant to consistently connect to the MiFi.
My iPad, Motorola Droid, and Laptop have no issues connecting to the MiFi.
On my Vibrant I'm running the 2.1 stock ROM with root & the latest ClockWork recovery.
It will "connect" to the MiFi (I use quotes because I can't really tell - it AT LEAST receives an IP). But I'm unable to send and receive data. I can't even browse to the MiFi's internal configuration page .
To FINALLY get it to connect consistently I have to do some kind of random combo toggling the wifi off and back on and then turning the MiFi off and back on and it will EVENTUALLY connect and stay connected with data flowing freely.
I've customized my configuration a little bit on the MiFi so I'm going to reset it back to factory and not change the config to see if it makes a difference - because at lunch I was able to connect to my boss' MiFi with no problem. I'm thinking it may either be the phone or the mifi...

I've connected to about 10 different wireless networks with NO issues, at all. The connectivity is actually much better than my G1/Nexus.
HOWEVER, last night at a bar I was connected to their wifi, strong signal, but I was not able to use Data. I was in a very poor reception area for T-Mobile... don't think that could be an issue, bit the other places I use wi-fi that is not the case.
I just chalked it up as a fluke and moved on. Not sure what was wrong.

I had this happen to me today. I just rebooted and it went away. Toggling wifi didn't help, but I only tried it once. The phone reboots so quick I figured I'd give it a try.

I have set the phone up manually with static ip. Seems like its a problem with the dhcp.

Can't access wifi after rooting

I really tried to find this answer before posting!
My Simple Touch was working fine with my home wifi until I rooted it. Now it can't connect. The signal is fine; the nook is right beside this computer which is connected fine. It says the signal is good. It just never connects.
I tried forgetting it and adding that network again.
Suggestions?

What firmware version are you running? B&N made a number of improvements to wifi in later versions. You might upgrade to a later version and see if that work better. If you want to completely reset to factory, there are instructions for doing so.

Also, sometimes it depends on your router. Mine had trouble connecting because it didn't send it's SSID. (this problem persisted with all versions.) Check your router settings (or get your parents to) and see how it's configured, and be sure it is compatible with the nook.

some router is better, my nook2 wifi is OK in my home but does not work in office

[Problem] Wifi Hotspot without internet connection

Since the last official update I'm always having problems when I turn on my wifi hotspot to use my other phone with the Zenfone Zoom Data.
When I turn it on it doesn't work, my connected devices show "no connection" when connected to the wifi hotspot, I manage to get it working always swearing while I reset the wifi and data settings, I turn on and off the data and the wifi hotspot. Sometimes I have to go to the VPN and re-tap on the correct VPN in use (that is already selected) and then the connection will stat working on my connected devices. Often I have to repeat those steps many times.
The other weird thing is that when I'm using the Zoom S as wifi hotspot, the connection on the phone itself stop working. It works only on the connected devices.
Never had those problems with previous android phones I had (several Nexus, a Note 3 and an Ulefone Power). I use the wifi hotspot really often since I still use my Note 3 and this is really frustrating.
EDIT Maybe I posted this in the wrong section. My mistake sorry. If some mod can move this I'll be glad.

try adding ",dun" to the access point types under the APN settings. I had a similar issue that fixed it.

Last week I used my Asus 3 Zoom to give my laptop internet by Wifi hotspot. Worked flawlessly.
