i have been searching the internet for how to setup wifi on my new cingular 8525 and it was asking me about network key so please, HELP ME PEOPLE!!!
you have to supply your SSID (what your router is called or the router you want to connect to)
and then ´password if the connection is encrypted
Some questions to find out the answers to first.
1. What is the SSID of your router? Out-of-the-box routers are named things like "Linksys" and the like.
2. What kind of encryption is your router configured to use? This is why it is asking you for a key. Types that place nice with WM5:
WPA (good)
WEP128 (not so good)
WEP64 (not so good)
I have always had trouble getting WPA2 to work with all my pocket PCs. (WM3, WM5)
The nice thing about WPA is that you can use a regular pass-phrase for your password. With WEP, you are stuck using a 13 or 6(?) length string as your passphrase. Plus, WEP can be broken quite easily.
So, it sounds like you need to go back and configure your router, so you know what the SSID is, and what the passkey is.
Good luck.
My TouchPro can connect normally to unsecured wifi networks, but with WPA encrypted ones, it can only connect for the first time, after that it can not.
At home I have a wireless router/ADSL modem (Zoom X6) that is connected to my PC by cable, all my phones and laptops connect to internet via wifi. While other phones (1G iPhone) and laptops always connect successfully, the TP only connected once and then cannot or unable connect to the WPA security-enabled wireless network (although it's able to scan and detect the availability of the Wifi network). I tried to reset the router settings, even update router firmware, but no luck, it's still unable connect. I also tried with my office secured wifi network and I had the same problem.
Yesterday, I had to hardreset my TP and tried to connect once again, but problem was repeated, connected only once and after that, unable. Note that my previous PPC (TMobile Ameo WM5) didn't have any problem with the same wifi router and the same wifi settings (as follow).
My TP wifi settings:
Network Name: MyNetwork
Connects To: The Internet
Uncheck "This is a hidden network"
Next step:
Authentification: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Greyed Out: The key is automatically provided
Network Key:************** (my pass)
Greyed Out: Key Index: 1
Next,
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" but greyed (I can't change this)
Anybody know the solution for this issue?
Thanks and very appreciated for any help.
i experienced similar problems with my old p4350 but not yet with the TP...
no solution, sorry. but im quite unhappy that this issue still exists...
Any suggestion, pls.
yeah.. quite sucky.. I though the WiFi 'broke'.. but i was able to connect to a WEP site.. I think its something to do with WPA.
I never had this problem with my Diamond. The firmware on Diamond isso much more stable compared to Touch Pro..
I set everything to WEP and my key is open instead of shared, and now it works fine.
I had issues at my dad's, who has no encryption, and also there, when I set the key to open io shared, I got connection. (even though there is no key
anyway, it looks like that is the bug (at least in my device)
I have exactly same settings and same problem... but I want to use this encrypted connection since in future I will have to connect also in other places where I need it for sure.
Any help here?
I have similar promblem with my Hermes before.
My wireless router is running "Turbo-G" mode, my Hermes can't connect it with Turbo-G mode On.
After I change the wirless mode from Turbo-G to "g/b", my Hermes can connect it without any problem.
I tryed that and does not work...
strange is that is was working in the past and on router I did no changes but on TP I installed just some apps which should not affect this...
Only what could affect is Advanced config which I installed...
So where else can be problem?
How can I troubleshoot this?
Signal kvality is good but still keeps dropping and does not obtain IP from router.
mine works fine...not that that helps you in any way
I found the solution: set router to unsecured and use MAC filter. But that is only a tip, because my TP still can not connect with any other secured wifi.
I had same problem and looks like I found the bug in Advanced Config 3.2
There is in Network -> WPA auth... was enabled and I put Disabled (now I can use WPA auth anyway... before it just could not connect)
And next Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0 (when I changed to other number than I got problem that I could not even see any AP as I could see before and only network card settings was shown)
Try to play with other settings and you will see... I had also errors with device.exe after reboot... but now it all works as it should.
Just post here if it helps you also so we can notify creator of Advanced Config...

You are merely restricting people from connecting to your router.. without encryption, you are sending unsecure packets all over..
Have you tried using AES encryption on your device instead of TKIP? I only mention this because TKIP is the only one I haven't tried. All other methods of connectivity work fine for me with the TP.
I tried the PT using unsecured routers, WEP and WPA and all of them worked fine with stable connectivity.
The routers I have tried (without any problems) so far are:
1. Linksys WRT-54G running Tomato firmware
2. Linksys WRT-54G running DD-WRT firmware
3. D-Link DIR-655 running latest firmware
I tired open, WEP and WPA1+2 on all of the above routers and the TP responded with zero issues...
I am not using a custom ROM.
I hope this helps in some miniscule way.
Good luck.

I was about to say the same thing...
Not having any issues with my girlfriends WPA secured router. It's on WPA2-PSK and AES encryption. Enter key first time (case sensitive!!), and of you go... Connecting without trouble ever since
hmm..Funny mine still can't connect to my home WPA2, AES or TKIP.. I'm on the Buffalo Tomato firmware..
WIFI not connecting
This solution worked for me!! Excellent. This was a right pain!

I've got the sollution, everybody on this forum probably has advance config installed, the program sets some default value's of it's own, set the WPA authentication under network in the advance config program to disabled and it will work again. Anyways, that worked for me
I've removed WiFi settings and then I edited settings again. It works now
Raphael Wifi problems
I bought this Fuze to replace my trusty Dash since I broke the antenna on my Dash. I'm running NRG Magic, but have tried other NATF and other ROMs as well, I cannot get this phone to connect to my wifi network I'm using WPA2-PSK but have disabled security for testing. My Dash and my laptop connect immediately with no problems. If I cannot get wifi going on this Fuze I'm afraid I'll have to put it on Ebay and try the Iphone, which people seem to love.
The Fuze did connect once, and it was WPA2-PSK at the time, I don't remember what ROM I was using at the time probably an NRG flavor, but Ihave had _no_ luck since.
Should I flash to 'official' ROM? Honestly I'm getting tired of playing with this thing I don't have the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
I may have found something
Check your time zone/daylight savings settings on your router. Phone and router time must be in sync.
Hello
I just recivied my Motorola xoom 32gb 3g, and I have a problem. My Wifi dies every 2 minutes and then reconnects. It's an EU version, and I installed 3.2 OTA. Can someone help me plz?

Sounds like your router and xoom aren't playing nice. Mobile wifi uses power save modes which aren't always properly supported in router firmware.
A few things you can try:
Set to pure A/B/G or N (N is best) no mixed protocol modes
If on N, set short guard interval off and set channel width to 20mhz
Set security to WPA-2 AES, no TKIP
upgrade router firmware or reboot it
If the network ever drops and doesn't reconnect, try https://market.android.com/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer
It will detect the drop and automatically reconnect.

Out of curiosity,
[*]If on N, set short guard interval off and set channel width to 20mhz
Whats the reasoning behind this and do you have a source?

Thanks for your answer my router is a belkin f5d7230-4
how do I change these settings? I cant find it anywhere in routers settings
security level is wpa2 only
i have the latest fw
EDIT: nvm I found them, I only have: 11g only, 11b only and mixed (g and b) so I put it on 11g only I enabled turbo mode (what the hell that is) and extented range.

40mhz width isn't supported on any Android device that I'm aware of. Auto detection of width seems to be problematic in my experience.
Short guard interval is terrible indoors due to radio echo.
Source is a decade plus of setting up wifi networks.
I forgot to mention enabling long preamble, which really helps with mobile wifi clients as they spin up from low radio power modes. That's more important than short guard interval.
Daft question ... you haven't got your wifi advanced settings set to kill the wifi when the screen sleeps have you ?

That's not default as of Android 3.0.
Good question, though!

nop I already disabled that. So far so good I also installed Wifi fix app from market, let's see how long it will last.
Still no luck :/
I get dc with ICS eos rom to...any more suggesitons?
Which router is causing (potential) trouble?
- I have both U-verse and Linksys (the old-model work-horse)
And... I'm also suffering from intermittent wifi issues. But, then this is (for me at least) a good thing as it keeps me focused on work and AWAY from youtube (etc).
Observable problem is that wifi simply drops when viewing youtube.
I had assumed either there was an issue with u-verse or Zoom - though wasn't pressed for an immediate fix since the Zoom did well at non-streaming web and email.
I know this is a long time after your question but if you are still having the issue I resolved mine. I just upgraded my home wireless and my xoom started having horrible download speeds. Ends up it cant handle AES and doesn't let you pick what encryption you want - it appears to use the highest encryption available on the ssid (I had tkip and aes enabled). When I killed AES and only left TKIP my xoom download speeds went back to normal. Issue is, you need AES for N wireless so if you can create a separate SSID for your xoom only, you can have the best of both worlds, N for everything else that supports it, and decent speeds for your xoom.

I think it's dangerous to assume that experience with your Xoom on a specific access point is universal.
Problems tend to be caused by a specific model/firmware of access point interacting with a specific Android device, with wifi drivers and chips being the most important part of the equation.
In my experience on many devices, AES is much less likely to be problematic than TKIP. TKIP is a less secure and less desirable protocol.
I am running N/AES on several access points with my Xoom with no link speed issues.
Hi guys,
Since the JB update I'm having massive problems with WPA2 wifi on both my TF101 and Desire. Wifi scans and finds the network, realises it is WPA2 encrypted and asks for the password, accepts the passwords and tries to connect however it is always unable and says something along the lines of 'saved, secured with wpa....'
Is there any solution because with a WIFI only tablet it limits what I can use it for lol
Thanks
Hi!
Every JB / CM10 ROM I have tested changes my TF MAC. The result, if you have MAC filtering enabled on your TF, is the same you are talking about: you detect your net, your password is ok, but your router won't give you an IP address as your MAC is not in the 'allowed list'.
Maybe you can check that to see if that's the problem.:good:
Hi,
I have multiple devices at home using the WiFi fine (iPad, Laptops...)
But with two android devices (Nexus 5 and Galaxy S 4, both on unmodified) I have the same problem.
It connects to the network, and works just fine, but after some time, there isn't any internet connection, although it shows as if it's still connected.
By disabling and enabling Wifi I get internet connection again, but it's really annoying.
Here's my setup:
Edimax router as AP
2.4 GHz (B+G+N)
Visible ESSID
Channel number 6
Encryption: WPA 2 (AES) pre-shared key (passphrase)
No MAC Filtering
EDIT: This router is a switch with wireless, it is connected to a diffrent router that is connected to the internet.
What can I do? Should I modify any of my WiFi settings?
Thanks!
did you try to disable energy saver?

If asking you're whether I had disabled the WiFi optimization in the WiFi settings, yes I have...
I have just only remembered that this router is actually a switch with wireless. The internet is connected to the other router, which is connected to the router i'm asking about (EDIMAX) which acts as a switch.
