So I have been using my Captivate now for 3 months and aside from the known GPS issues, everything else has been great.
I have configured the Captivate to recognize my home wife network and it has been connecting automatically for the past 3 months with no problems.
A few days ago it stopped finding and connecting to my network. The Captivate finds other networks in the area, but says mine is "not in range". On the flip side, I have no problem connecting to my wifi network with my iPhone, laptop, and other wireless peripherals, so it sounds like the problem lies with the phone.
I tried deleting the configuration on the phone and adding it again, but no go.
Any ideas????

So I just rooted my phone today at my friend's house, I used his wifi just fine, no hickups. I don't have a service plan at the moment, so the only way I'm even using it is over wifi. Well when I got home, I tried connecting to my wpa2 secured network and I can't connect. What happens is the phone recognizes my network, I put in the passkey and it just sits and does nothing. I connected to it before I rooted my phone (and then this started happening once I changed some settings, but I figured it'd be a moot issue once I rooted.)
So far I can't get it to connect.
Any ideas as to what's going on?
THis is a problem that just started today, I'm not getting any internet connectivity on my Captivate over wireless. My other wireless devices in the house are working fine, but not the Captivate.
Also, I get connectivity over 3G, but not over WiFi.
I've tried the standard reboot, any other thoughts?
and then literally just as I hit send, it starts working, with me doing nothing...
I originally posted this in the IS03 sub-thread but received no replies.
Not root-related but since a little under a week ago, my IS03 has been having a real hard trouble with wifi when at home. If I move more than 4 meters or so away form the router, I cannot access anything.
When this happens, I'll disable/renable wifi (from 4-5 meters away or further) and one of two things will happen: 1. My network will not even show up or 2. My network will show up (with a 'good' or 'fair' wifi status) but when I try to connect, it will disconnect immediately.
What I noticed through the Wifi Analyzer app was that even when the Android wouldn't show my network on the network list, wifi analyzer still registered it about -70dbm.
I originally thought the router is to blame but both my wife's AU HTC Evo and my Amazon Kindle have no problems using wifi from the same distance.
I also thought that perhaps the cover I have for the phone may be collecting dust so I removed it to no avail.
Any ideas why the wifi in my phone is acting up?
Thanks.
UPDATE since original post: I moved my router (Linksys WRT160N V3) to a more central location and installed DD-WRT (TX Power power set to default 71) and the problem went away for about a week but now it has returned. Both my Kindle and my wife's Evo have no issues with accessing the internet through wifi from the other side of the apartment but the IS03 cannot.
If I try to connect to wifi and I am right next to the router, one of three things will happen: 1. It WILL connect but I cannot access the net. 2. The network will show up on the available network list but it won't automatically connect (will say the network is disabled. If I try to manually connect, it will immediately disconnect. 3. Network won't even show up.
I had been having trouble with the wifi on the infuse since I got it. I would be connected but have no surf. At first I thought it was the router but I ruled that out by trying 4 different brand and several security settings.
I then noticed what seemed to be the problem. When I'm on the phone and using my bluetooth headset I would lose connection on the wifi. It would still show me connected to the wifi but I wouldnt have surf. The second I turned the bluetooth headset off, what ever page I was trying to load would come up. I tried this serveral times so I know its not my imagination.
Anyone else seen this issue? Btw its a motorola H790
Hello, i have been having a curious issue with my WiFi. My Galaxy tab seems to have issues connecting to my work router. it will see it.. and sometimes try to connect but usually doesn't. The router is a Link Sys BEFW11S4. If i unplug the router and plug it back in, then the Tab will connect. Also a more recent issue is at my home ( i have Verizon FIOS w/ wireless router) i can connect fine and internet works, but when i use my Facebook app, it says no connection. A lot of the time i tether my Tab to my phone ( HTC EVO 4G) and everything always works fine.
I have read about issues with GT7 and certain routers. has anyone experienced anything like this? It sees the routers, just sometimes cannot connect to them.
I have tried removing the router and re adding it...changing the IP address..and wireless channels. Unplugging the router and pluggin back in always seems to work, at least temporarily.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
