So I've installed WmWifiRouter, and I'm really happy with it as an alternative to Bluetooth DUN/PAN, however, I've run into the following issue:
Once I have WMWifiRouter installed and configured, I am no longer able to use my phone to connect to my home wireless AP. Even when WMWifiRouter is closed, it attempts to connect to the Ad-hoc network that it creates, and will not allow me to connect to my home wireless network. I tried removing the wifi settings for WMWifiRouter, only to find that it I do that, I have to reinstall the program to use it again.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I might work around this issue? I know it's a beta, so there might be something there, but if anyone can help, or if anyone has gotten things to work with a similar setup, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Is the website even up anymore? I went to it and it didn't even exist. Are they coming out with any new releases. I was also wondering if it would let us set out own WEP key
Absolutely, I JUST downloaded it yesterday...go wo www.wmwifirouter.com . And yes, it does allow the use of your own WEP key in the latest release. Can you comment on the issue I'm having?
Alternately, is there anyone who is using WMWifiRouter on their Kaiser who isn't having this problem? If so, how does yours work? What are your settings? Thanks
I don't know if this will help, but here's what I'm referring to:
It just constantly stays on connecting, and if I try to connect to another network, I get the error:
"Warning. Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider and try again."
I just tried it on my Kaiser and was able to share the connection with a Dell laptop and Fujitsu tablet simultaneously. Speedtest.net showed speeds like 1120k down and 330k up. I set security WEP and could connect, but could not surf sites with I.E. but with settings changed to OPEN everything worked fine.
I too found that after I shut this down that my "normal" home wireless LAN connection would no longer connect. In fact the WiFi radio turned itself off when I turned it on and expected it to auto-connect as it did before. When I went into wifi setup on the Kaiser I found that my home connection was gone! I had to add back my home connection, re-config it's WEP settings and was then able to connect once again.
I also wonder what the "normal" behavior is supposed to be for this application when it's started. Should one be able to simply start WiFiRouter and it powers up the WiFi radio, ICS, and makes the phone ready for connections? I found that it would Not power up the radio on mine even though it seemed to claim that it was doing this.
I then tried launching WiFiRouter again and sure enough, it screws up my home access point connection profile every time by blowing away the settings and password.
I reported this on the WiFiRouter website.
Thanks so much for the reply. I just tried following the same procedure, and it worked out for me too. So weird that I actually had to delete my home wifi settings. It does work properly now though, and on my device, using DCS 1.7, it doesn't shut off my wifi when i disconnect/close the program. Thanks again for the help!
Well...sadly, my problem has cropped back up. Basically, the exact same thing is happening, but the fix that worked before is no longer working. I did get in touch with the makers, and they are aware of the problem and looking for a solution. If anyone else can help, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll try to post again if/when I get a fix. Thanks
You need to goto Wifi connections & deselect the WMWIFI AP. Then click & hold on your home AP & select connect. You may also have to turn of the DHCP in WMWIFI befor doing this, otherwise your other connections will try using it.
OK here's what I just sent to Jorrit at WiFiRouter when he asked for me to try a few things;
TEST-1 Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi "Networks to access" was set to "all available".
1-Ran WifiRouter (WFR), my wifi radio does not power up, WFR showing "Waiting for ICS and WLAN".
2-I manually powered up radio (using AnyButton Plus mapped to key).
3-WFR then connected, BUT it connected to my Home LAN. WFR's settings were set to "Force PC to PC Connection" but it connected to my AP anyway?
4-Disconnected WFR, waited a few seconds, pressed re-connect, it now properly "connected to WFR".
5-Pressed Disconnect, Pressed Quit.
6-Checked "network to access" settings, they were still set to "All available".
7-Checked wireless networks, Home LAN was still there and all settings were intact, WFR was there as well.
8-Manually powered On WiFi, instead of auto connecting to my home LAN, the radio powered itself off in about 1-2 seconds.
8-I manually powered WiFi On for the 2nd time, now I get "Cannot connect".
9-Checked wireless networks, WFR is at top of list with "Connecting" showing, Home LAN is below it, and checking it shows all settings gone.
10-I manually re-entered settings (Checked "this is a hidden network", and entered my WPA-PSK TKIP Key) and tapped "Connect". Then a dialog box opened asking for the network key again. I cancelled and the Home Lan entry disappeared from the Kaiser's network list.
11-With WiFi radio Off, I again created the home lan connection and set "networks to access" to AP's Only, Powered on the radio and it connected OK.
TEST 2 - With "all available" set, could it be the WFR is at the top of the list, and it "beats out" the normal home lan connection? Lets try AP's Only setting;
1-Left "networks to access" to AP's only and started WFR. It started normally (well, with the exception that I had to manually power up wifi) and when I checked wifi settings, "networks to access" had changed to "computer to computer" by WRF.
2-I disconnected WFR and Quit the program, it powered Off the WiFi radio, checked settings and it had switched back to "only access points", home lan was there, settings intact.
3-Powered up wifi radio expecting auto connect to home lan, No, wifi shut-off immediately again.
4-Powered up a 2nd time without touching anything, this time it connected to the home lan without issue.
So I'd say there are a couple of issues,
A-Why does the WiFi Radio shut down on the 1st attempt after quitting WFR?
B-Using "All available Networks" causes problems if WFR is at the top of the list?
C-I hate the fact that I'm the "only one who's TyTN II doesn't Power up the WiFi Radio when WFR starts"
They are working on it...
We think we have isolated the problem (once again the problem is WZC), patch should be forthcoming soon.

Wow, I hadn't expected a reply directly from you. Thanks very much. I appreciate your attention on this issue. If you have the time and might post when the patch is available, that would be great, otherwise, I'll be checking the the download site. Thanks again.

Patch will be available when it's done, can't say any more than that. We know what the problem is, but it will not be fixed easily, and the workaround is fairly complex, so it's hard to give a timeframe.
Oh, I wasn't asked for a release date, I was just hoping that you might post when it is released, whenever that may be. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this, and totally understand that it's not a simple fix. Thanks again.
I have a different problem. I used this program and now I cannot use internet share using my tilts normal data. Very confused and now haven't had internet at home for over a week now. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see how that could be annoying. Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1801366&postcount=158. Ignore the content, just download the file, unzip it, run the EXE on your phone. It will create two files, post those here, and maybe I can find out what the issue is.
OK. So I bought a brand new G2X a few weeks ago, installed new CWM via NV Flash followed all the steps like I have in the past with the G1 and Vibrant, only this phone I have a network connection issue after I flash a rom I have an ( H ) only for the network. If I reboot the phone I do not get any network connection at all, no matter how many times I reboot. I called tmobile and had a refurbished sent to me had the G2X for a week now and couldnt take the POS regular rom anymore. I followed the steps exact I am pretty sure. I went into CWM which I installed with external support I wiped data/factory reset 3 times, wiped dalvik cache (which BTW says "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" (not sure if that is normal.)) I do it again and it says "Dalvik Cache wiped", I wiped the battery stats, I choose install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, I choose eaglesblood_v1.2_p999-ota-eng.zip, It installs fine, I then install gapps, and reboot the phone. Once the phone is rebooted I let the phone sit for 5 minutes, I sign in to my google account, and then I let the phone sit for 5 minutes again and reboot to see if the internet is going to work and it doesnt again. I also have chsnged sim card twice. I have never had this issue and if someone can help me fix this I will totally donate $5.00 to the BEER FUND!
Thanks in advance.
seems like you did everything right.
try going into network settings, and dis/reenabling data. also make sure there IS an APN in the APN settings.
What does it show for the icon at the top?
If it is gray bars with a small x the phone isn't getting a signal. Not sure what do do for this.
If it is colored bars with no edge/3g/H icon you are having an issue that I was dealing with. The answer I got was to...
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go to "Phone Information"
Scroll down and under "select network type" select GSM-CDMA AUTO option
Right under that press "turn off radio" then turn it back on
Back out of there and all should be good.
Note: I use "WDCMA preferred" under select network type and it works fine for me.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
I have also had success doing this..
Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Network operators... wait for the search to finish... >Select automatically>reboot

When I did this once I turn the radio off and the on I get the grey bars with an x and still no network connection. After a reboot I get colored bars but no network still.

When I tried this I still get no network connection.
Funny thing is if I install gapps through rom manager I get the [H] and colored bars. but after a reboot it doesnt work again.... Im so stumped! lol
there goes your problem.. you have no apn.
Go into "access point names". Press the hardware menu button --> reset to default. The original apn should pop up.
are you using CM7? I heard theres a apn problem with that. if you are then i can' help you since I dont have cm7

When I reset the APN it still doesnt show anything.
This is on Eaglesblood a CM7 based rom.
Download APNsBU in the market through Wi-fi, click Backup APNS, then click Restore APNs. Reboot and it should work
EDIT: Please delete.

This works. Is this common? So basically everytime I want to reboot my phone I use that by restoring?

You won't have to screw with it if you switch to Gigglebread.

Lately, I have been getting the "No Network Connection" popup when I open my browser. The weird thing is that I am connected and when I close the popup, it connects fine anyway.
Any thoughts?
Bump up. Still having this issue.
I've been having this from the second or third week of ownership. I think it is losing the APN settings and I think I read something about it here on xda, but can't find it now.
The work around I use is to put the phone in airplane mode and then take it right back out. Seems to reset things and is much quicker than rebooting the phone.

I just installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my TF101 and every time I try to connect to my home network, it says 'Connecting' then it goes to 'Saved, secured with WPA' without the internet connection.
Did you wipe it (factory reset) in recovery before flashing? If not, do that and try again.
Also, try forgetting the network (long press on the network and forget from popup) then add it back.
Also try cycling power on your router
i fixed mines; not sure if it'll work on yours :s

Hi, ninjadan9! i had the same problem after flashing it with CM 10 Nightly, but after debugging on settings, i found a fix. i dont know if its a bug or what, but what i did was:
1) 'forget' my network
2) connect to it again(MAKE SURE YOUR SECURITY KEY IS ENTERED CORRECTLY)
3) if still says, "saved, secured with wpa" dont hesitate, you're still not done
4) on your wifi window, press your menu button
5) choose "advanced"
6)there should be a "wi-fi frequency band" choice, make sure its on "auto"
7) still not working? underneath the ''wi-fi frequency band'', there should be "wi-fi' region code".
8) i dont know if yours has a choice selected, but mines didnt. i chose, "United States" and VIOLA. when i went back, it says "connected" and my wi-fi sign finally showed on my status bar:laugh::good:
hope this helps!:fingers-crossed:
Sometimes my WiFi goes away, LTE kicks in for a second, and then WiFi comes right back. I don't know for certain, but it may only happen when the phone has been unused for a while, right after I first pick it up to do something. But I have the WiFi power saving option turned off, so that WiFi should stay on all the time. And I seem to recall it happening just at random sometimes, too, in the middle of browsing websites or social media apps. It'll say "no connection" and I'll look up and see LTE kick in, then WiFi come right back, then I'm all good. It's very annoying.
On top of the quick WiFi cycling issue, sometimes WiFi will just completely stop working. When I go into settings, it says it's disabled and I can't turn it back on. Going in and out of airplane mode fixes it. This only happens about once a week or so. The other issue is by far more annoying.
Anyone else experiencing either of these? I'm on Verizon with a black 128 GB stock, unrooted, if it makes a difference.
Thanks!
I personally haven't seen this on my VZW Pixel although I use it with T-Mobile service. These are as suggestions only, and it may or may not help, but you could try using any order below.
1) The setting to keep WiFi during sleep is on, right?
2) Have you tried to use your phone without sim card in it and see if WiFi is still acting strange?
3) I would also suggest to go to Settings>Google>Networking and see if you have WiFi assistant on or off. There is a setting under advanced as well.
4) Does it happen on all WiFi networks or when using on particular one? You could forget that network and then join again.
5) Alternatively you could "Network settings reset" under Settings>More>Network Settings Reset - after the reset, you may need to rejoin all the networks, pair Bluetooth devices and so on.
