So I've installed WmWifiRouter, and I'm really happy with it as an alternative to Bluetooth DUN/PAN, however, I've run into the following issue:
Once I have WMWifiRouter installed and configured, I am no longer able to use my phone to connect to my home wireless AP. Even when WMWifiRouter is closed, it attempts to connect to the Ad-hoc network that it creates, and will not allow me to connect to my home wireless network. I tried removing the wifi settings for WMWifiRouter, only to find that it I do that, I have to reinstall the program to use it again.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I might work around this issue? I know it's a beta, so there might be something there, but if anyone can help, or if anyone has gotten things to work with a similar setup, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Is the website even up anymore? I went to it and it didn't even exist. Are they coming out with any new releases. I was also wondering if it would let us set out own WEP key
Absolutely, I JUST downloaded it yesterday...go wo www.wmwifirouter.com . And yes, it does allow the use of your own WEP key in the latest release. Can you comment on the issue I'm having?
Alternately, is there anyone who is using WMWifiRouter on their Kaiser who isn't having this problem? If so, how does yours work? What are your settings? Thanks
I don't know if this will help, but here's what I'm referring to:
It just constantly stays on connecting, and if I try to connect to another network, I get the error:
"Warning. Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider and try again."
I just tried it on my Kaiser and was able to share the connection with a Dell laptop and Fujitsu tablet simultaneously. Speedtest.net showed speeds like 1120k down and 330k up. I set security WEP and could connect, but could not surf sites with I.E. but with settings changed to OPEN everything worked fine.
I too found that after I shut this down that my "normal" home wireless LAN connection would no longer connect. In fact the WiFi radio turned itself off when I turned it on and expected it to auto-connect as it did before. When I went into wifi setup on the Kaiser I found that my home connection was gone! I had to add back my home connection, re-config it's WEP settings and was then able to connect once again.
I also wonder what the "normal" behavior is supposed to be for this application when it's started. Should one be able to simply start WiFiRouter and it powers up the WiFi radio, ICS, and makes the phone ready for connections? I found that it would Not power up the radio on mine even though it seemed to claim that it was doing this.
I then tried launching WiFiRouter again and sure enough, it screws up my home access point connection profile every time by blowing away the settings and password.
I reported this on the WiFiRouter website.
Thanks so much for the reply. I just tried following the same procedure, and it worked out for me too. So weird that I actually had to delete my home wifi settings. It does work properly now though, and on my device, using DCS 1.7, it doesn't shut off my wifi when i disconnect/close the program. Thanks again for the help!
Well...sadly, my problem has cropped back up. Basically, the exact same thing is happening, but the fix that worked before is no longer working. I did get in touch with the makers, and they are aware of the problem and looking for a solution. If anyone else can help, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll try to post again if/when I get a fix. Thanks
You need to goto Wifi connections & deselect the WMWIFI AP. Then click & hold on your home AP & select connect. You may also have to turn of the DHCP in WMWIFI befor doing this, otherwise your other connections will try using it.
OK here's what I just sent to Jorrit at WiFiRouter when he asked for me to try a few things;
TEST-1 Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi "Networks to access" was set to "all available".
1-Ran WifiRouter (WFR), my wifi radio does not power up, WFR showing "Waiting for ICS and WLAN".
2-I manually powered up radio (using AnyButton Plus mapped to key).
3-WFR then connected, BUT it connected to my Home LAN. WFR's settings were set to "Force PC to PC Connection" but it connected to my AP anyway?
4-Disconnected WFR, waited a few seconds, pressed re-connect, it now properly "connected to WFR".
5-Pressed Disconnect, Pressed Quit.
6-Checked "network to access" settings, they were still set to "All available".
7-Checked wireless networks, Home LAN was still there and all settings were intact, WFR was there as well.
8-Manually powered On WiFi, instead of auto connecting to my home LAN, the radio powered itself off in about 1-2 seconds.
8-I manually powered WiFi On for the 2nd time, now I get "Cannot connect".
9-Checked wireless networks, WFR is at top of list with "Connecting" showing, Home LAN is below it, and checking it shows all settings gone.
10-I manually re-entered settings (Checked "this is a hidden network", and entered my WPA-PSK TKIP Key) and tapped "Connect". Then a dialog box opened asking for the network key again. I cancelled and the Home Lan entry disappeared from the Kaiser's network list.
11-With WiFi radio Off, I again created the home lan connection and set "networks to access" to AP's Only, Powered on the radio and it connected OK.
TEST 2 - With "all available" set, could it be the WFR is at the top of the list, and it "beats out" the normal home lan connection? Lets try AP's Only setting;
1-Left "networks to access" to AP's only and started WFR. It started normally (well, with the exception that I had to manually power up wifi) and when I checked wifi settings, "networks to access" had changed to "computer to computer" by WRF.
2-I disconnected WFR and Quit the program, it powered Off the WiFi radio, checked settings and it had switched back to "only access points", home lan was there, settings intact.
3-Powered up wifi radio expecting auto connect to home lan, No, wifi shut-off immediately again.
4-Powered up a 2nd time without touching anything, this time it connected to the home lan without issue.
So I'd say there are a couple of issues,
A-Why does the WiFi Radio shut down on the 1st attempt after quitting WFR?
B-Using "All available Networks" causes problems if WFR is at the top of the list?
C-I hate the fact that I'm the "only one who's TyTN II doesn't Power up the WiFi Radio when WFR starts"
They are working on it...
We think we have isolated the problem (once again the problem is WZC), patch should be forthcoming soon.

Wow, I hadn't expected a reply directly from you. Thanks very much. I appreciate your attention on this issue. If you have the time and might post when the patch is available, that would be great, otherwise, I'll be checking the the download site. Thanks again.

Patch will be available when it's done, can't say any more than that. We know what the problem is, but it will not be fixed easily, and the workaround is fairly complex, so it's hard to give a timeframe.
Oh, I wasn't asked for a release date, I was just hoping that you might post when it is released, whenever that may be. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this, and totally understand that it's not a simple fix. Thanks again.
I have a different problem. I used this program and now I cannot use internet share using my tilts normal data. Very confused and now haven't had internet at home for over a week now. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see how that could be annoying. Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1801366&postcount=158. Ignore the content, just download the file, unzip it, run the EXE on your phone. It will create two files, post those here, and maybe I can find out what the issue is.
Lately, I have been getting the "No Network Connection" popup when I open my browser. The weird thing is that I am connected and when I close the popup, it connects fine anyway.
Any thoughts?
Bump up. Still having this issue.
I've been having this from the second or third week of ownership. I think it is losing the APN settings and I think I read something about it here on xda, but can't find it now.
The work around I use is to put the phone in airplane mode and then take it right back out. Seems to reset things and is much quicker than rebooting the phone.

I have some problems with my D2G.
First of all is the known issue with USB connections (it starts only when usb cable is pluged in when phone is rebooting);
Second problem is with wi-fi. After some time phone is unable to connect to the network when switching wifi on from the up menu menu on main screen, after longer period of time, even going to the settings > wifi, phone cant connect, there is no networks detected;
Third issue is with network data connection. After some period of time, phone is unable to connect to the internet, no websites, no market, data conection seems to be active but there is no communication;
Fourth issue is freezing touch screen when someone is calling i cant answer becouse touch screen seem to be freezed and the round answeting control sometimes hangs in some strange position of screen. Additionaly sometimes i get msg that application Phone is not responding, and i cant answers, i have to force close and then phone seem to restart the radioes becouse all the connections (signal stength) goes X.
If someone has any advices for me please share.
I hope I've described my problems not so bad, i was not using english in some time
you can fix usb (adb work well ) by my patch (on cm7 thread)
I tried to resolve this problem for quite a while without success . I connect to a WiFi without problems by pressing radio button or through settings. Also I can disconnect without problems. But there is this thing: I am connected at my home lets say on WiFi and I go without turning off my WIFI to another place lets say work, and my phone won't connect to that WIFI automatically (radio button for WiFi is turned on). So I need to turn the button off and turn it on again and then it will connect, or I just go to settings for WiFi and it will start scanning and connect to WiFi immediately.
More about this behavior: if I am connected to WiFi and go out of range and then in a range of another spot lets say in 10-20 minutes my phone will connect automatically. If its longer period maybe 20 minutes or more it wont connect automatically when I get into range. Also I dont think that has something to do with phone getting to deep sleep, because this morning I was walking to my home and listening music all the time and when I got home my phone didnt connect automatically. Nothing. It just seems it stops scanning, also when this happens I am not notified about open networks when I get in range.
My WiFi setting is always set on always connected and this happens even when I flash new stock ROM. While ago when I flashed version 2.3.4 this wasnt a problem, now even when I flash that one I have this same problem. I also tried few different stock ROMS without success.
I know this is not a big deal but it is irritating and I would like to fix this, so please help
Check your wifi sleep policy.
Press menu in wifi settings and set it to 'never'

Hi all,
For the past few days, my Galaxy s6 WIFI got crazy.
When I switch it on, it scan for networks, find some and the network it knows and connect to it.
but than, it keep scanning all the time.
meaning, all other networks are gone and I can see only the network that it connected to, after 2-3 sec it start to scan again while still connected.
showing 2-3 networks around, and than stop scanning and all of the networks are gone again (except the one it connected to), and after 2-3 sec, all over again.
In addition, if I try to switch it off, it looks like I can't - it keeps start and stop scanning all the time in a loop. like on and off, on and off - and in addition its killing my battery.
The only thing I managed to do is, when I clicked to switch it off, a sec before it got crazy there was a line there so I clicked on it and turned off the option of
letting apps to search for WIFI automatically.
This solve the switch off and on issue - so when I switch to off, its stays off.
I don't know how to get back to this screen (of letting or not to apps to search for WIFI) tough.
The first problem that it keeps scanning when on even if connected to a network - still can't find a solution for it.
I found someone with the same issue on a local forum, he did a factory reset and couldn't located the problem.
Can someone advise?
Thanks.
