no Wifi- HW failure?

Hi!
I just got a raph100 up and running, and started by updating the ROM. But after I updated it to the newest version my wifi wouldn't work, when I pressed the enable wifi-button it just kept spinning until it gave up, nothing happened.
I'm starting to think this is a HW problem as I can't see the mac-adress or anything from WM, and in android it just says error.
So I was wondering if there is anyway I could know for sure wether or not it's a hardware failure ?
help appreciated!

Go to a Starbucks or McDonalds and see if you can connect there.
If you can, then it is either the security you have on your wifi router, or the router itself may have firmware issues that your Raph is sensitive to.
I was having issues with the security protocols between my Raph and my router. All my wireless laptops were fine, but the Raph either wouldn't connect, or would connect but lose connectivity quickly. I changed my routers firmware to DD-WRT and everything is fine now.

I've seen this happen personally when I didn't keep the rilphone.dll file and the radio in lockstep on WM 6.5; verify that you have the correct rilphone.dll installed for the radio that is flashed on your phone.

[Q] Wifi Connection Problems - Vegan-Tab

Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?

have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.

Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.

Moved to general

Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.

I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.

I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.

I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.

I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...

[Q] WiFi internet shared by notebook doesn't work

I've been looking around for a similar thread but I couldn't find anything helpful. My problem is that when I create a WiFi network with my notebook, and share my wired internet connection, I can connect to it, but there's no internet connection available.
My Inspire is using the newest MIUI build with the Radio that is recommended for the MIUI from the Radio thread. Every other WiFi network seems to work (I have some difficulties connecting to my uni's network but that's most probably not related to this, since my home network and every other network works fine). When I connect to this network, I have excellent signal, I get assigned proper network parameters by my own DHCP server and everything seems to work fine except for no internet connection, no pages load, market cannot connect etc. My friend's ZTE Blade works on this network, and my other friend's notebook also does. I tried pinging the device and from about 100 packets, only 1 reached it. I really have no idea what could be wrong. Thanks for the help in advice

Okay, after testing some more I can't connect to my uni's WPA2 secured networks, only the WEP secured networks. When trying to connect to a WPA2 network it says connecting, then the network quickly disappears and says Disabled or Remembered. Really pisses me off I tried also the "Released for Desire HD - 04-28-2011" Radio, no help with this, either.

I would try a different rom. MIUI uses CM based drivers for WiFi and BT. I would check there.

Tried the official CM7.1 ROM, same result, and actually every other WiFi network works, so I don't think it has to do anything with the ROM.

Try a non CM based Rom. They use the same drivers as MIUI is based off of CM. They use open source drivers instead of the ones built by the device manufacturer.
What type of connection does your university use?

[Q] Cannot connect to Wifi

Hello,
I searched but I could not find information on this topic in XDA for TF101. I have a TF101, it was running fine and running ww_8.6.5.19 rooted with CWM. I then followed the directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514705 to download the WW version of ICS and flashed that. It was working fine at work. I got home and I could not connect to my wifi at home (which had never been a problem). I can see the wifi, I can click connect, enter the key (WEP). In the top of the settings screen it says Wifi and Connecting... under it, but it does not connect. In the Wi-Fi networks area it shows the network and says under it Remembered, secured with WEP.
I have tried everything I can think of. I have turned it on an off, turned the wifi on and off, reset the wireless router. Then I thought maybe it was an issue with the ICS ROM so I tried a million other ROMS and none seemed to work, I did a data wipe and that did not help. As a last resort I used this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/ to unroot and return the TF101 to stock. So, I am now sitting with build ww_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 and I am having the same issue. I cannot connect to the internet at home. (I also tried using WPA and completely open wifi and had the same results I am having now)
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Additional Information
I can get it to connect to my cell phone when I make that a hot spot. The wireless at home is working as I can access it from this laptop I am using, my android phone, and my ipad.
Thanks,

Hi
I wondered whether you actually changed the kernel at one point and then
to another ROM - this caused me a lot of trouble since it led to a non -functional wifi adapter. Worse, I could not connect to
Wifi anymore to download the right kernel
So maybe now your pad is not able anymore to use the full functionality of it's wifi adapter.
For example it is possible that you your rooter is configured to provide not all protocols :
802.11 n.g or b are possible, maybe one is not provided by your rooter but when you tether with your phone .
Another possibility would be non supported channels or channel width - believe me I had all funny combinations already with different devices.
Maybe you first want to check this - I might as well be completely wrong.....
Edit : just checked your provided link - you actually went back to stock? Did you as well use the recovery image or only the
firmware? For me it was unfortunately necessary to go back to a virgin system and use the recovery image.

Update
Okay, I had tried remotely powering down the router last night and it did not fix it. Today I tried unplugging it for a while and that worked. Now I need to research updating from 8.2.3.13.......

I have a feeling its the setup in your wireless router.
First change your wifi router to no security and test connection.. if connects great.. then try WPA and use a new passcode.

Thank you all. I was able to connect (it was the router and I was too damn lazy to unplug it last night) today. So instead of two minutes of walking, unplugging and waiting I have flashed myself silly.
Loving ICS!!!!

[Q] Wi-Fi / MAC address issues on my OPO

So far, my wi-fi has been working fine on Android L - except for when I'm home where my router has white-listed its devices with their MAC-addresses. It worked fine when running Android 4.4, but I had no success yet on Oxygen, cm12 nightlies or cm12s.
Whenever i try to connect, it says "Connecting.." and switches to "Saved" after some time and then tries to connect again. I have removed the whitelist and it connected fine - but as soon as the router restarts, I can't connect again. Even if my device's MAC address is whitelisted.
Strangely, it does connect once after a fresh cm12 or Oxygen installation, but only once. Disabling and re-enabling wifi will not let my OPO connect to it anymore.
Anyone having similar issues or any advice? It seems like my OPO doesn't want to reveal its MAC address to my router. Other devices can connect without any problems.

From Ubuntu Touch porting I know that the OPO uses a default (private) MAC address at startup until it get initialized with the correct one, save somewhere in a config or firmware partition. We are also currently unable to use more than 2 OPOs in the same network due to MAC address collission. Maybe you have the same problem, as it turns out, as our port is based on Lineage/CM for OPO.

Try flashing the modem/radio from one of the latest stock fastboot flashable ROMs perhaps? This may resolve your issue, especially if you where on a stock ROM that was old before you started flashing custom ROMs. There was once an app that would allow you to truly spoof your Mac address, but I believe it wasn't working for anything above Jellybean or Kit Kat. It used to be great help for moments such as these.
