I have a 2wire 2700hgv router, it's very good for long lines. The router is set to not broadcast the SSID. The One S will not connect to it automatically. If I enable the SSID, it will connect about 10s later.
This means the phone will not work in my office either where they do not broadcast the SSID.
You talk about 802.1x connection?

Without the SSID being broadcast, the One S just does not connect or see the router. I will be seeing if the 802.1x works in the office next week.
Waiting for 802.1x,because its very important for me

This morning I was awake early, before the people next door.
The people next door turn off their router at night. This morning the my HOS connected to my router, the SSID is still hidden. I confirmed with Wifi-Analyzer that next door had turned off their router which is always broadcasting 3 SSID values all on Channel 1 which is standard behaviour for BT HomeHub routers these days.
Later in the morning I could hear people next door, I power cycled Wifi on the HOS, and now it will not connect to my router. My router is on Channel 7.
This is the only HTC Android phone I have had which has had this problem, my other Android devices never had a problem.

I have this issue with wifi.
I have 4 routers at home with the same SSID to extend the wifi range.
The phone connects to the first router he see's but doesn't changes if I get closer to another router, it stays connected to the first one while it catches signal.
To change router I have to turn off wifi and then on again.
Sometimes I'm next to one router and the signal appears on minimum because it stays connected to the first router it saw.
Shouldn't it always connect to the strongest signal??
Weird, ah??
I have been having issues with all my android devices and connecting to me WiFi. They accept the password but will continue to "obtain IP address" or "Authenticate". I have been able to get all my devices to connect by unplugging the router and plugging it back in, but I don't want to do that every time. I take my tablet to class with me, so it loses the home signal and then i have to unplug the router upon returning home. Thinking logically, it i either my internet speed or my router.
Any thoughts on a solution that doesn't involve unplugging my router every time my tablet leaves the house?
-Router problem?
-Network problem?
-android problem?
-security Problem?
I have
-Gnex(vzw)
-Nexus 7
-Belkin N150
-500 kilobit network
-WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
-Known working password
Thanks for the help
It's a well known Android problem past 4.0 ICS, and does not happen with all WLAN routers but with some. Sad to hear it affects current Nexus 7 devices aswell.
Maybe you can try out your Nexus 7 on a friends router and see if the problem persists, if not, getting a new & cheap WLAN router might be the least worrysome solution.
Patch it directly into your old router (typical RJ-45 patch cable) and disable the new routers DHCP server. Voila, done.
The only other possible reason I can think of is if your current router is not broadcasting it's ssid. Hiding the name of your WLAN in it's broadcasts is something that gave me troubles past-ICS too. I resolved it by simply broadcasting my routers ssid, even though it lets my neighbors see my network (naming it random letters and numbers).
Comcast is my ISP, and I have a netgear router for my wireless in my house.
However, it would seem that comcast has recently put up a new wifi hotspot near my house, or extended one of their current hotspots, and my xoom keeps picking it up.
The problem is the comcast signal is incredibly weak... like half a bar weak. Where as my netgear is full bars... and yet, the Xoom will try and connect to comcast's hotspot rather then the router that is a couple feet away.
If I go into SETTINGS and 'forget' comcast, it just finds it again.
Is there some setting, or app, that would make my Xoom only connect to MY router and not comcast's when I'm home???
For some reason it's not "Forgetting" that connection. Once you forget a connection it will no longer auto connect to it. It's always going to see the signal, but after forgetting it, it should not be auto connecting.
Connect to it again, which should save it, then long press on it until it pops up a menu that contains forget / modify and click forget. See if it forgets it properly that way.
I have two wifi APs with the same SSID and it will stick to one of them with next-to-useless connection while standing near the other one. which would have much better connection.
This works fine on my Nexus 9 tablet and even better on my iPad and my wifes iPhone..
I tried some possible workarounds like Always allow wi-fi roam scans but I didn't see any effect.
This fix for SG3 might work but i havn't rooted.
Even more solution suggestions
Doesn't this bother anyone else ?
wifi has a bug in 6.X and its been talked about before.
my problem some times when i want to connect to another wifi it connects for a 1 sec and then drops it
i turn off wifi and back on and it will connect
i'm trying the app "Wifi roaming fix" but i think it causes the wifi to disconnect for a couple of seconds when it switches.
Strange that this seems to be of no interest to anyone. Is there indeed nobody who is using one or more WLAN APs in addition to his/her WLAN router? I can't believe that.
I have two APs (Main router and 2nd router as AP) but not for more coverage, my main router pushes 5GHz wifi, the second AP pushes 2.4GHz for older clients that can't connect to 5GHz
The 5GHz router is placed on a wall in the middle of the house and the entire house has great coverage so no need for more APs
I have more APs in my house with OpenWRT and 802.11r aka Fast Roaming configured and roaming between all my APs is working perfectly with all my devices.
Note 10.1 2014 Wifi, S7 Exynos and all other also.
With APs configured as "normal" ap with the same SSID and key i had the same issue as you mentioned.
I think your phone dont know that it could roam between your two APs.
If you could not run OpenWRT on your APs for 802.11r, you could try to enable WDS on both APs even if your APs connected by wire.
I own a Wi-Fi repeater to which other smartphones and my wife's MacBook can connect to and have internet access. But on my Pixel 2, while I can connect to repeater wifi network I get the warning "connected, no internet access".
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks In advance.
Cheers

Try this... Turn wifi off and/or unplug everything that has wifi access. Everything. Unplug the repeater and then the main router. Wait thirty seconds and power the router back up. Once it's fully connected, power the repeater on wait for it to connect. Then, turn on your wifi devices. You should be good to go.
Sometimes, DHCP creates conflicts, so this just assigns a new IP address to each device. I have an NAS that I travel with, and every time I connected back to home network, it would cause problems and I would have to do this. Eventually, I just assigned it a static IP address. No more issues.

Thanks for your answer. I just tried that and it didn't work. I still get the "connected, no internet" warning
Any new ideas, please? Cheers
I have a similar issue with the router of a close relative I visit often. I always have the "connected with no internet" on their router. But if the router is rebooted my pixel 2 will connect fine (initially), then after about 15-30 mins later it's back to saying the WiFi has no internet.
It's rare but bugs with connections and compatibility somewhere can happen between devices. I'm guessing it's some bug in the software causing this. But because the pixel 2 doesn't exactly have a huge market share the users affected are likely not enough for either Google or the manufacturer of the routers experiencing this issue to ever release a fix for this.
My understanding is that Android P fixes a some WiFi issues. Hearing that it's a good daily driver these days, you could load the latest beta.
Is it a "release candidate" at this point?
