I'm having an issue where my wifi can't obtain an IP address from my router. I've reset both the phone and the router and it still can't connect. The password is correct. Any ideas? THanks
Edit: It goes into a loop where it tries to get an address for a while and then disconnects and then starts over
Same here. I'm rooted and get the same thing on different find including stock.
Try turning your encryption off and see if you can connect. If it connects then start working up through the encryption levels. Some devices can't handle higher level encryptions.

I'm trying to connect to open networks. So that's not the problem. hope we don't have another case of the captivate on our hands. I'm kind of in the middle right now with this phone. Possibly returning it and keeping my captivate with all its Rom flashing goodness. I know its early but this thing seems a little buggy to me and the battery isn't helping any.
I'm also having this problem. It tries to connect to the network, fails, and tries to connect again. I love this phone but I may return it and get the Attrix

Just connected, and fast!
Turning off the wifi encryption worked for me. Not ideal but ok for now.
Hate to sound noobish but......how do I turn off the encryption?

Log into your router and set wireless security to unsecured, then save changes
If get on wifi networks in different locations but have same SSID, it could cause connectivity issues (e.g., wifi SSID at my gym is "linksys", same as one of my neighbor's. My Inspire attempts to connect continuously without success to my neighbor's encrypted wifi after I've been at the gym which is an open wifi.)

Could you please fill me in on what you did to accomplish this. I am having the same exact issue it goes into a loop of trying to "obtain ip address" then disconnecting.
I have a stock inspire 4g, sig is outdated. Router was using wpa/wpa2 however i have switched through all the other available security settings (wep, no security) and the same issue persists.
Ok so now i went to the advanced settings and checked the DLNA auto-IP box, this allowed the phone to connect to the network however it still will not pull up any websites through the browser.
Been having the same problem here i can connect to my network but it times out trying to obtain an IP address disconnects and tries again. Any suggestions would be great because i can't seem to find an answer anywhere. My inspire is stock by the way never been rooted or anything
Is your router on IPv6? Needs to be on IPv4.
For those having problems with WiFi...
Change security to WEP
Put wireless router on channel 11
Try these settings first!

Still can't get it to obtain an IP address, however I got it to work by setting up a static IP address on the inspire. I would really like to get to the bottom of this problem though.
You might be having an IP conflict.. does your router allow you to assign IP per a connected device MAC address?
It basically holds a certain IP for a certain MAC address

Hmmm not sure I'll have to look into that. Havent tried to connect to any other networks yet guess that could help a bit
Have u updated the firmware on your network gear? What is your setup by the way?

Ok, tried to use a laptop today on my network and it had the same issue so I reset the whole system (i have at&t uverse) and that fixed it. Don't know why I didnt do that from that start but after I did my inspire connected first time with no problems.
I had a problem with my wireless router and my Verizon router using the same DNS gateways. I checked to see what my DLink routers DNS server/default gateway was using the commands in the run when you hit cmd+r on my PC. I then had to manually assign my phone to a static IP in wifi settings>advanced.
Example;
IP.(phone) 192.168.1.197
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.1
For some reason my phone was automatically reading 192.168.0.1 on the DNS and gateway.

My phone is a fascinate running miui, when I try to wifi tether to my xoom I can see they are both working correctly but the tablet just hangs as it attempts to gain ip addy. I have wifi settings off while trying this.......also tried pairing through Bluetooth and the phone and tab pair but won't connect?
New to tethering and going crazy lol.
If I connect to my house wifi it picks it up instantly.
My xoom is wifi only and running stock unrooted ics.
Thanks for any help
Have you tried tethering via a Market app - rather than the MIUI baked in?
WIFI Tether for Root
Yes, both the baked in and apps have 0 issue sending out signal, the Xoom just won't obtain IP, it shows the devices that it's trying to connect too, just hands there though

Do you know if you are tethering in ad-hoc or infrastructure mode? If so, try this - implies it will work for the fascinate:
Wireless Tether through Infrastructure (Not ad-hoc)
Not sure which way is trying to, when I get back home I will give that ago and report back, thanks
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Couldn't get that method to work, I finally got and can get the ip connected now and but I cannot use data, even though the xoom shows connected.
The wifi signal icon does appear, but isn't colored, as if it's not connected

I am connected via wifi to the wireless network here at work and have never had issues. Yesterday youtube crashed and I couldn't even open the app back up, so I uninstalled the updates for it and then just rebooted the phone. Ever since then I can connect fine to the wifi but cannot use any app that requires a connection (facebook, wwf, you tube, etc).
I do not get a cell signal here in my lab so obviously why that is why I am using the wifi. I am not sure what is going on here. It is super frusterating though.
Every app says I have no internet connection. But the wifi signal is full bars!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Not to sound pedantic, but is the Wi-Fi actually connected to they internet? Have you tried resetting the router and modem? Have you tried manually disconnecting and reconnecting? Maybe forget the network on your phone then rediscover it. Have you tried opening the browser to see if any additional steps need to be taken?
Hopefully it's something simple
Also, try turning on Airplane Mode, then turn on Wi-Fi and see if any apps work when the cell radio is turned off

Yeah it seems that it is. I cannot reset any router as it is our wireless work connection (huge company). I have tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password as well. I just tried putting it in airplane mode and then turning on wi-fi and all of a sudden it works.
Now 5 min later with the airplane mode on it does not work. FML.
Does anyone know of an SiFi tether app that can utilize MAC address filtering? I'm on CM10.1. Tried "WiFi tether", but it doesn't work well. Can only get the native access point function to work with no WiFi options.
