Probably broadcasting on a channel which Android has disabled for your country. Switch to a channel between 1 and 12 on your router, may need to take off auto. An app like Wifi Analyzer should be able to see the network no problems.
Its on channel 11. My old was on 11 too but it worked...

Make sure you have set your router to use the 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz.
It is set to 2.4 ghz and wifi analyzer cant see it

Be sure your router was configured to WPA/WPA2 security,not WEP,and that the router is visible (Wireless SSID : ON) .

Highlight the connected network and, modify network. Change it from DHCP or whatever it is, to static. It'll solve the connection problems. No more endless YouTube buffering, failed market downloads, etc. I had the same problem at first. Let me know your progress.

Using a static ip works for me too!
Any tips on making the Wifi in the Xoom pick up at a higher range?

Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason
Have you tried open garden ? On the market

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections
Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).

I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.

You can't use Wi-Fi and tether at same time, the chip can't do both at same time

If your wifi is connected you can tether it to a computer through usb tether. I know that for sure cause I do it all the time.

Thanks I'm going to see if I can run my phones cable to the xbox and tether it this way, thanks for all the answers and help!
Hi, I hope somebody can help me out. I have been unable to connect online for about a month now to my wifi. When I select the connection, it shows me full bars on the settings page but nothing afterwards.
I have no trouble connecting other devices to my wifi & right now it's just an expensive paperweight. I have no problems tethering with my phone & when I'm at the library with my pad, there are no problems connecting.
Nothing is customized & I'm on 4.2

I would try to disable password on your router and see if your tablet will connect then. If it does you might need to change the encryption on your router. Check what it is. If its WEP then change it to WPA2. Wifi doesn't have the best standards that are always followed by manufacturers and as a result sometimes things just won't connect.

I have to reboot my router after changing ROMS sometimes . Have you tried rebooting the router or maybe even resting it?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk HD
That most definitely has to do with your router. Check if you can connect to another device that has uses wifi (Xbox, iPod touch, TV, laptop) & if the wifi is working fine there. It could also be that you put in the wrong password for the wifi on your tablet, & it is reading the connection, but not actually connected.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I changed the security from WEP to WPA2 & I was able to reconnect my tablet with no problems.

Hey guys and gals. Is anyone else having problems with their WiFi not connecting to certain networks after the 4.4.4 update? My phone will connect to my home WiFi with no problem..but won't connect to any other WiFi source. Any ideas??

No issues here. Connects at home, work and wifi at other people's houses.

Have you tried changing your wifi frequency on your phone?
Yep..it works fine at my house which is a 5gjz wifi network. But won't connect to anything else. Not even the mobile hotspot on my S5
Edit: changed the frequency band on my galaxy s5 mobile hotspot to 5ghz and now my Droid connects to it. It seems the phone will no longer connect to any 2.4 GHz networks

Go to Settings > WiFI and press the menu icon, choose Advanced > WiFi Frequency Band. Ensure this setting is "Auto"
It is.

Now it stopped again...and won't connect to any 2.4ghz wifi again... sooo frustrating. It clearly has to be a bug in 4.4.4

Could it be your wifi router is going bad? are you having this problem connecting to networks other than your home network?
Yes. Nothing that runs on 2.4ghz. At my work that's all we have. At home on 5ghz works perfect. Router is dual band..and my S5 connects fine. Also when I turn on my S 5 mobile hotspot and set it to 2.4 gigahertz that doesn't work either

Given that no one else (from what I saw here) can recreate, I would say it isn't software but hardware. CLNR devices do have issues. Call Verizon again and see what they say
I've contacted both Moto and Verizon. Verizon is sending me another replacement. Hopefully this one works better than the one I have in my hand at the moment. The strange thing is that the phone I had before this one was fine before 4.4.4. Sooo idk. If I don't have any luck with this next replacement then I will call Moto and have them send me a replacement.
Edit: its a shame too..cause this phone is ridiculously smooth

UPDATE!!!: Soooo after 2 hrs in Verizon...an hour on the phone with customer service..and and hour on the phone with Moto tech support..a chance call from my Motorola rep and she fixed my phone in 2 seconds. Apparently..there is a glitch in 4.4.4 that prevents the lower frequency wifi from working with Bluetooth. Turning off Bluetooth and a quick reboot and WiFi is perfect!!
