Wifi connection issues

I have a problem connecting to wifi on my home router. Whenever I try to connect to it, it just says "Obtaining IP address from" then it would later go on to say "Disabled". I have entered the password correctly, made it forget the network and connect to it again, and have restarted both the phone and the router. That has not seemed to fix the problems. On other networks such as the free wifi at Border's or others it would connect just fine. I'm currently using Cognition v2.3b8.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I did a factory reset and it seems to be working now.

Have you tried android id changer? Not sure if the cog version you are on will let you write the new id or not, but worth a shot

Ok...I just tried that, it didn't seem to change anything. Thanks for the suggestion.

Seems to a 2.2 "intermittent" non-predictable issue. Faced this sometimes when on 2.2.

I have the problem but in reverse
I am using 2.3b8. I can hook to my home protected wifi but can't hook to any free open wifi connection

I am also facing the same problem as Slow_DC4...
Any help would be really appreciated ....
Looking forward to hear from you guys

Sarveshsj: I ended up reflashing the ROM and it fixed the problem, so you may want to try that.

I've tried both barnacle and wifi tether and both say their blocked or terminiated connection. Does anyone have either up and running?

I am having a problem as well. It will work for about a min with barnicle and with the stock tethering then i just lose internet conection on my laptop says the device is still conected and still have the h+ on my device.
I did recive the blocked or terminated conection on barnicle i rebotted phone it worked for the min then same thing lost conections. turned barnicle off then back on when it started i recived the blocked or terminated connection as well.

Yay! Tethering is working on my phone......only issue is that the radio stays on even after tethering is disabled, but I was at least able to setup WEP security.

How did you manage to get it to work? I have barnacle up and running and see the wifi on my laptop and can connect to it. Only problem is, that I cannot access internet. I don't get any error messages or anything. It just seems to be a local connection and not routed through.
Any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much!

I used the wifi tether version

I had to adjust the settings a bit to get it working properly and to enable WEP security, but I have used this in my shop for over a week now flawlessly.

I added an advanced a task killer to remedy the problem I was having with it broadcasting when tethering was stopped.

The only issue now is that with the settings I am using, tethering starts with errors in the channel config. This doesn't seem to be effecting functionality at all....it just means that I am most likely locked into the default wireless channel.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks to everyone for their continued efforts!

Sorry for the individual posts, but you have to have 8 before you can post an outside link. Assuming that it works, my next post will include the link plus the prior messages in one post so that it makes more sense.

I used the wifi tether version that I downloaded here:

Updated to ICS, obtaining IP address??

It's the same network that worked fine pre update, now it can't connect to it, I've reset the router, changed network security and it is always stuck at obtaining IP address. IT can connect to my 5ghz network just fine though, but the range for that is piss poor and doesn't extend it to where I need it to.

I am assuming you got the Rogers ics update. I am not sure of what version of ics they pushed out. However I have an Acer Iconia Tab A500 tablet and got the ics update almost 2 months ago. One of the big things is wifi driver and version of ics 4.0.1. Wifi will die off but look connected after the tablet sleeps awhile. The only way around this is to use a shortcut to turn off the wifi and turn back on the wifi. I hope that helps. Hopefully they will push a new kernel out to help correct the issue.

Question belongs in Q&A
Cheers

Yeah it was the rogers update. I'm on version 4.04. My phone was rooted before the update, I don't think it is now. It can't connect to this network at all, it will get stuck at obtaining IP address...dunno what I can do. Not sure what you mean by the shortcut to turn off wi fi.

There's a good shortcut in the notification pulldown. You can also create a (less direct) wifi settings shortcut on a home screen. You might try setting an available static IP using ICS's ../Modify network config.. /Show advanced options.. You would need some familiarity with that network's settings though.

CM9 w/ Galaxy tab 2 7.0 = Wifi probem

First, i've search this forum and google for this problem for my tablet... but no answer.
I've made the move to flash my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3113) using the [ROM][GT-P31XX][4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 but i cannot get my WiFi working.
The tablet on stock firmware see my wifi without problem, connection is fast... but when I apply the CM9 rom, i cannot get the wifi working. What I have is the tablet is blocking when the TAB try to optain the IP.
When the tablet is scanning my network, the signal is very good, i enter my password, and cannot go further. I've try to change the channel from auto (by default) of choose channel manually 1 to 6, try to change the encryption from WPA2 or WPA... no luck.
Does someone can help me to solve this problem?

I had a similar problem and I had to disable and then re-enable wifi on my router. Found out later that other wifi devices were having issues too. Rebooting the router would give you a similar result.

I've try to rename my network, don't work... Excuse my english is not very good, so you suggest to me to "reboot" my router? Can you explain a little bit?
Thanks!
edit: Ok i've reboot the router, working!!!
Thanks dude!

I'm running CM 9 with MetalliKernel, only my home wi-fi gave me an issue at first.
I simply restarted my router. My tab works great tetherd to my phone also, and at Starbucks, etc.

[SOLVED] P6200 XXMC3 Official JB 4.1.2 WiFi problem

Hi there
P6200 WiFi+3G
So I installed the new official release for Open Austria JB 4.1.2 but I am having a BIG annoying problem with WiFi :/
I tried to connect to my router which is WPA2/PSK secured but it just doesn't wanna connect! stuck on connecting then "saved" and nothing happens!
I've tried everything and every method:
wipe data/factory reset
re-flash
rebooting both my router and the tablet
changing my router's security to WPA,WEP and OPEN
It used to work just fine with Aorth's port of CyanogenMod 10 but I wanna use the official release!
Any help appreciated, thank you
P.S: I solved the issue by ignoring the feature and using this workaround found HERE

my wifi is working fine
maybe at one time i also had the same problem. i restarted my router and it was solved. now it is working fine.

Maybe country code is not set correctly , was a problem with me before, malaysian tab in US, search WiFix manager in PlayStore. Also wifi Connection Manager free by roamingsoft is a good app to get you connected and stay connected.
Also check your router to make sure you are on a channel that not many other people are, for less interference. Good luck. Wifi has been working without issues for me on JB.

I tried both apps but unfortunately it still doesn't wanna connect :/

I think that the only possible solution to get the wifi drivers from HC 3.2 stock rom or from any other p6200 working rom.
If someone could help me with that, I would really appreciate it

I wouldn't expect everything to work for the US when you install a European ROM release like the XXMC3

I am actually from Egypt ^^
and the annoying thing when I had XXMC3 that WiFi was connecting just fine with other networks but not my own!

I too have the same problem !!!
The European version is JB is the XXMC3, .... but I'm in Italy! and the wifi does not work, and it worked perfectly with ICS.
I think the problem is similar to that of the Galaxy Note 2, but I do not know comne solve it.
I tried to do all the wipe, but nothing to do. Can anyone help me?

same problem here works with SOME routers but mostly it just says "saved, secured" or just authentication problem on open wifi
tried format / factory setting, reflash nothing works
had the same problem with 4.0.4 but it went away for some reason after a while

I have same problem

I have same problem with My Galaxy Tab P6200.
When I connect to a fine wifi : "type password -> authentication -> obtaining ip address -> Connected"
With my wifi when I typed password it's say: "saved, secured" and no wifi icon.
I have an ADSL router and connect to wifi router, wifi router like a bridge network, so DHCP in wifi router is disabled.

sounds like a UK vs US problem in the setup on your device. Try changing the wireless AP channel to channel 1 or 2 and see if that fixes it. If so, that is the problem. In UK mode, it won;t see wireless channels above 6

have experienced the same problem before, problem not with your tab but your router (something to do with router not able to automatically adjust or identify your tab after the upgrade and detecting a conflict), try going to your tab advanced wifi settings, select static i.p. address and input manually your tab i.p. hope this solves your problem

Im having the exact same problem that the OP had. Was a solution ever found, other than flashing another ROM? Id like to keep the factory JB but no wifi is a big problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How do I change the channel on my router to 2? I havent tried that yet.

I found a workaround! using my PC to share its Internet connection with my tablet via USB Reverse Tethering! 100% working
