Okay, so me and some friends have a really weird bug.. We can't connect to our schools wi-fi (open) We can find the connection, but it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for IP-adress." We all have rooted phones (1 htc sensation, 2 sgsII)
I can connect to all other networks, just not this one. Any suggestions for a fix?
the problem might be the router's encryption type
Try changing it to wep or something else to see if it works

I am having the strangest problem with my wifi. When connecting to the wifi network at my friends house, the network seems to have some sort of problem keeping both of us connected. He is using an HTC EVO currently on CyanogenMod7, and I am on the EB16 PnP, but the problem occurred when he was on the stock rom and I was on the 2.1 PnP and the EA11 PnP.
Basically what happens is when I connect to the network, he loses internet connection, and sometimes wifi connection on his phone, and then we both get stuck in a kind of loop where both of our phones will alternate between failing to connect, saying that the wifi password is incorrect, a failure to obtain an IP address, and brief periods of connectivity.
We have tried many solutions including resetting the router, which sometimes works for an hour or so. We have tried setting up reserved IPs for each of our phones on the router to no avail, we have tried many different router and phone settings and nothing seems to solve the problem. His router is a DLink DIR-665.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
ETA: We have both been on the same wifi network at other locations, and I have been on other wifi networks with other people using android phones, including a Captivate and another Mesmerize without issue.

I agree, my roommates and I all have problems connecting to our belkin via certain laptops, androids, bb's and iphones. some days are better than others with all. I guess that's the price we pay for a low end router.

I'm having a strange problem lately with the Wi-Fi. I was at work where I've previously set up the wi-fi details, but now it says the network is not in range. The laptop I have sees and connects to it just fine so the connection details haven't changed, and the signal strength is 5 bars on the laptop, so it's still in range.
Well failing that, I connected the laptop to a wired connection and created an Ad-Hoc network to share the internet from. The latest honeycomb 3.2 update added support for Ad-Hoc and the network was seen on the tablet, I typed in the password, but it won't connect. It sees it as full strength, attempts to connect, and then the network suddenly loses all strength gives me a "-1 mbps" link speed and seems to get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to connect.
This same issue happened at a friends place where she has your typical household wi-fi but I thought it was just a fluke. I still get the "-1 mbps" link speed and lack of connectivity. The strange thing is it still works at home and at another friends place.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
yeah i had the same problem. i got Linksys router on WPA\WPA2 personal. But at the same time i changed ISP...150mb/s down and up bebeh! ...so i used the router they gave me instead.
not sure linksys and/or the WPA/WPA2 personal is the problem. But i dont have the problem anymore.

Yeah, it's weird. For the Ad-Hoc connection I was able to change the security type to basic WEP and it worked fine after that. Previous it was WPA2 and not working.
I'm wondering if the latest firmware update has anything to do with this?
Hello all-
I have an AT&T One X that is rooted and currently on Viper 3.1.0 and ElementalX2.0 kernel. Since I've had the phone, I've tried various ROMs (except stock) but cannot get my phone to connect well to the wifi at my office. We have two different Wifi connections, a WPA and a WPA/WPA2 encryption. My phone connects perfectly to the WEP connection I have at home, but the connection at work is slow when it works, and will eventually stop working as the day progresses. Sometimes, like today, it won't connect at all. I have resorted to staying on 3G but I figured I'd ask if anyone found a fix, or if there is a setting I am incorrectly forgetting.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have an issue with wifi on my One S: From time to time it disconnects from wifi, and won't reconnect until I delete the network password and start from scratch. When this happens, the phone will list the network as "out of range" even if I'm right next to the router. Setting the router settings from B/G/N and WPA/WPA2 to G/N and WPA2 improved this a bit, but it still happens. This is the second One S that I'm having this issue on (my first one met an untimely death), so I'd guess this is an issue someone else than me has experienced as well. Does anyone have any tips?
The phone is running the most recent OTA stock ROM, unrooted and S-ON. The wifi router is a D-link DIR-825. Other devices (two laptops, a HTC Sensation and a Hero, an Xbox, a PS3, a Kindle) have no trouble connecting or staying connected.
Any help would be appreciated!

strange go to wifi menu advanced settings if best wifi is ticked untick! not sure if this will resolve but you are limited on an unrooted device!
Limited on a unrooted device is bullcrap!! But indeed check adv set on device
Is there much traffic of other ssid on the same channel? Use a app like wifianalyzer to check best channel to use.
Reset the 825 it will then change to the least crowded chanel, or do it manually Are u using both freq? Only set the 2.4 freq.
Also you can rename the ssid on the 825 maybe it helps.
Change to N only if all devices support it.

Hi. Recentlly I bought a Samsung S7(G930A - AT&T version) as refurbished one. I found a big issue what hurts me a lot. Here are some issues with wifi:
I could not really connect to a lot of WIFI networks, it says "connecting" after that it drops and cycle begins once again infinitly.
On several networks it shows "authentication error occured" , although wifi is public and another devices connects to than one.
On several networks, it connects but connection is very slow(0).. only way to make a better connection, is to put phone on router...awful...
On one networks which i tried, it worked ok..it's an 5ghz wifi. although, not for a long distance from router.
I installed all updates, tried troubleshots from internet with bluetooth, reset and everything..but no success at all... Now I think that problem is really in hardware... Had anyone such issues ? Any solutions to fix ?
Please help...

I had frequent wifi connection authentication errors when connecting with my home wifi and slow Internet loading speeds with my Galaxy tablet, but all my other wifi devices connect consistently without errors.
The steps below solved a similar problem with my Samsung Galxy Note 10.1, and it might help with your Galaxy 7. Some of the steps may vary with your device, but the goal is to set wifi Poxy Settings to NONE, and IP Settings to DHCP. It completely resolved my home wifi authentication error and slow spped when browsing.
For the Galaxy Note 10.1: Settings> WiFi> long press the SSID/router name(the wifi you want to connect to)> Modify Network Config> check the box "Show Advanced Options">set proxy settings to "None" -- set IP settings to "DHCP"> Save.
Now my wifi connection with the Galaxy note 10.1 are quick, consistent, and Internet pages load fast.
I hope this is helpful.
