Today I upgraded my Stock GTAb to TNT Lite 501 which is great. (thanks)
I created an Ad Hoc Network on my windows 7 laptop and tested it with my IPhone which works just fine.
My GTAB Wifi can see the AdHoc SSID but just recycles with an Obtaining IP Address message.
I did spend a few hours researching this but can not find any usefull info and noticed many people have the same problem.
Anyone have a solution ?
Thanks
add the adhoc connection manually to your tablet:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Add Wi-Fi Network
This has worked for me (I also use the Wefi app, I have ever since tnt-lite was a baby)
Just tested an adhoc connection (Win mobile phone) with 5.0.1 and it works just fine.

I just tried that a few times but that doesnt work. My AdHoc is on a windows 7 laptop. The SSID is janspc. Added janspc manually to my GTab but the GTab just adds (*)janspc and ignores janspc. Added manually (*)janspc but that doesnt work either.
Any more sugestions ?

I believe that the "hotspot" you are trying to attach to is running on your phone right, I'm not sure that the iPhone puts out an adhoc mode system as apposed to an infrastructure mode network (two different animals)? Then you connect to your phone's adhoc/infrastructure mode hotspot from the laptop. My adhoc connection also shows up as (*)hotspot and uses a wep key nnnnnnnnnn where n=any numeric value from 1-0 if you are offered any other options than "Wep", say wpa/wpa2 the connection may not be an adhoc connection. After the setup is completed you would then go back in and click on the (*)janspc, push the forget button and enter the Pw again (check it before clicking connect) and now check connect. If this does not get it working correctly then see below:
Look carefully at the inclusions to the Wi-Fi file mentioned in the article I linked to previously
Feel free to PM me if you need to
try connectify
Instead of creating an ad hock network you can download connectify and create an infrastructure mode hotspot for your laptop.

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.

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..

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.

It seems the issue still exists in ICS as well :-(
Try LEAP WiFi free (it is in the market) or try to find one app for your comapny.
Leap WiFi works fine for me on IBM EAP APs.
Delete your old saved setting, before creating a new with Leap WiFi.

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network and now all our Android devices are able to connect to it.
The walkaround I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest that you can imagine.
I'am a BES, MDM and Lotus Administrator, and btw and iOS lover.
Many of my colleages are Android users, and their claim is always the same.
Why iOS and BB users are able to connect to the corporate wireless network by chosing only WPA2 Enterprise and only needs the network SSID and their Active Directory Credentials?
2 years has passed since I heard this claim from my colleagues for the first time , and until yesterday, all of them remained disconnected even when they had ICS on their devices.
This things made me think about the Android and iOS system differences, and the way the OS developer thinks.
A wireless chipSet is a wireless chipset, and it not depends of the OS installed in a mobile device to have a better compatibility.( not like servers or routers ).
When you setup a Corporate wifi network on iPhone, basically you command the system to use some protocols to connect to, included in the WPA2 Enterprise cabinet. the system check all of the until find the right one to connect.
Android doesn't have the same protocols defined in his WPA2 Enterprise system definitions, so if you try to connect to it by using the main Android interface, you will have an authentication error.
There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.
It's name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.
Firstable you have to setup your wireless network manually as seemful as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.
Save it.
Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.
There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup.
It worked for me as a charm.
When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.
DO NOT Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy 1, 2 and Note mobile devices and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS.
May the force be with you, my young Padawan

Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.
Leap WIFI free not working with JB 4.2.1
I have tried using Leap WIFI free on my Asus TF700T running the latest OTA update to JB (4.2.1).
While the tool seems to create a network profile, it does not even connect.
Trying to connect to a wifi network that shows up as Cisco EAP-FAST when I connect via my windows laptop
I've tried creating the profile using the built in wifi config editor as well, unfortunately it defaults to PEAP and while it connects and gets an IP address I do not have actual network access (e.g. web browsing fails).
The wifi ACE tool has not been updated to support JB yet either.
Any other suggestions?
We know android won't connect to Ad Hoc networks, I tried to flash and root often, replaced many versions of the file wpa_suppicant with no results.
Here is an easier alternative to the android - pc connections [adhoc] and share internet, without doing anything on the device, only with a PC application, for all androids and devices...
We will turn our PC into a router, well, do it this way.
This is easy with a little application that I share.
1. Download and extract the files
2. Install the application
3. Restart the system
4. Register the product with the serial (included)
5. Setting fields:
Hotspot Name: choose any name
Password: choose any password
Internet to share: Your interface with internet to share
Share Over: Your wifi interface to connect with your android
Sharing Mode: Select the "wi-fi Access Point"
6. Start Hotspot
7. Activate the wifi on your android and connect to your acces point
Enjoy.
What's the name of sware?
Hi jota!
What's the name of your suggested software? Is it connectify? Connectify can create Access Point mode HotSpot for Windows 7 and above. It's so far the best AP hotspot app for Windows though some other apps like Virtual Router, Virtual Wifi Router,etc are available.

Do you know if and how I can host an adhoc network from my phone to other devicss (so i dont have to share my router )

afaik you can make any windows 7/8 (and maybe vista) pc into a wifi hot point with just a few console commands without any external app or program...
Code:
A detailed step-by-step to setup tethering in Windows 7 without any 3rd party software:
From admin command prompt type:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=mywifinetwork key=mysecretkey
Enable new virtual Wi-Fi adapter (it might be disabled upon creation)
From admin command prompt type:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
From current internet conection adapter share (ICS) to the virtual adapter
Connect from wireless client to virtual SSID. Wi-Fi client gets an auto IP and you're good to go.
After host computer restart you only need to repeat steps 3 & 5 to be up and running.
Adhoc or Access Point?
Thanks for the command prompt method NixZero. But, is the created network Adhoc or Access Point mode hotspot? If it's AP, Android can directly connect to it.

@keenofhiphop
Android 2.2 or above have a built in Portable Hotspot feature to create Access Point mode Hotspot easily. Go to Settings->Wifi->Tethering and Portable Hotspot and turn on Portable Hotspot. This is a proper hotspot and acts like a real router. You can share your phone's internet connection over wifi and even play games. There's no need to create an Adhoc network when Access Point mode is readily available.

access point mode - I've used it to connect my tablet
the only annoying thing is that you have to activate it by hand at every boot (you can make a .bat obviously) and there are a few limits on the network sharing, for eg. it sets the dhcp for 192.168.0.255 mask with the server pc as 192.168.0.1 and you cant change it even if you set a different lan ip.

You can create Wifi Access Point without sharing internet. Just turn off Mobile Data and then start Hotspot. It will create a Hotspot with no internet access.
Or did you mean you want to share your home wifi over phone's wifi? Usually, you can only have one wifi connection at a time since there is only 1 wifi transciever per device. But, it may be possible to configure the device as a repeater. This can be done on Windows 7 devices using Connectify by setting up a hotspot with the same name and password as the source wifi connection. I don't know if it can be done on Android too.

@NixZero
Will this IP cause any conflict? As this is dhcp there should be nothing to worry about,right?
What about Static IP? Are there any commands to assign IP?
AndroidWifi for Windows 7
The blog Seeing and Believing has given a more detailed description and steps for the command line WiFi Access Point method that NixZero shared with us. An advantage of this method is that it can share non ethernet internet connections like USB dongle,bluetooth modem,etc. Connectify and other Virtual Routers are limited to sharing ethernet. Connectify Pro can do this, but it's not free. The same blog has also linked to a Windows Application AndroidWiFi which automates execution of these scripts.
How to get list of connected clients?
Hey NixZero, you missed one point - Connectify can show you the list of clients connected to Virtual AP. But, how do we do that in the Access Point created through command scripts?
Dear friends,
I'm using TF101 with GREAT TeamEos 3 ROM build .81. + K.A.T Kernel .69
All seems to work perfect, except Internet Connection.
Normal WiFi (infrastructure) works perfect, but I want to use my Nokia E52 (Symbian) with JoikuSpot application as mobile hotspot. On stock rom, 9.2.27 (ICS 4.0) all worked great.
Now, when I've installed K.A.T toolbox with wpa_supplicant from K.A.T, my tablet saw my AP SSID, but when I tried to connect it, I got errors:
"Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'
Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.
Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'
Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.
Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'
Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.
. . . "
I replaced wpa_supplicant in /system/bin with original from .81 TeamEos package, but now I can't see my SSID of mobile AP. Wifi Analyzer shows it with "Ad-Hoc" notification on the right, but system Settings menu can't.
How can I connect to my Nokia E52? I tried different settings, open authentication, wep, etc, just don't know what to do. I don't want to use Net over bluetooth.
I want to connect my android device (nexus 7 2013) to an openvpn server which is not administrated by me, meaning I have no access on the configuration.
On my windows7-pc, I do this with the windows version of openvpn, the provided settings file for the openvpn server and the also provided pem-certificate.
Since the server uses the tap device of openvpn, alternative clients like openvpn for android by arne schwabe[1] don't work (this app doesn't support tap).
Since I don't have a private key file (*.key), I cannot generate a p12-file[2] which could be imported by the official openvpn app[3].
The pem-fileformat is compatible to *.cer and *.crt, meaning, I can simply change the file extension to "convert" them. The crt-file can be imported by the android systems (security -> import), but this doesn't help openvpn as it seems to only use it's own certificates.
Any suggestions on how to achieve a successful connection?

i think if you have ICS_P740AV1.0.0B07 + you can't find open hot spot and if you can see you can't connect.
Try to make one hostop secured with wpa2 and try it.

Whoa, i only understand half of it
I have android 4.3 JSS15Q rooted with flo (?). I have superSU and Busybox installed. I followed the default instructions of the nexus root toolkit. My wifi is connected for sure, but it has blocked ports (which is the reason for all this). However, since I'm failing at an earlier stage, and, since it works from my pc from the same network with the same openvpn on the same ports I suppose the error is not in the network settings...
The wifi i'm connected to has wpa2+pkip etc. but I'm not sure how this is relevant...
rom
you have installed a custom rom?
you have try to enable and disable airplane mode?
you have data conenction?

I have stock android rooted. I only have wifi and the connection works perfectly, I tried rebooting the device, I consider this counts as "dis/enable airplane mode". I have good wifi signal strength.
I have no issues accessing websites over port 80/443, only the blocked ports don't work. The openvpn server is reachable on port 443 (it works from my pc).
Hello,
did you ever manage to solve this? I'm looking to configure my nexus 7 2013 to connect to an OpenVPN server using TAP and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using OpenVPN settings with certificate-based authentification. I'm able to connect to my server, however I don't get a local IP address assigned and when I browse the internet, my IP is still showing up as from the original connection instead of the VPN endpoint. Computers with windows 7 can connect to the server no-problem and all their traffic is directed to the tunnel. Any ideas for guides and walkthroughs?
Thanks. Any help is very much appreciated.
