[Q] EOS ICS release 2 - can connect to wifi but not internet - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My network is like this: Cable Modem > Cloakbox Router from Witopia > wireless clients
the cloakbox is a buffalo box:
Router Model WZR-HP-G300NH2
DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (04/27/12) std (SVN revision 19152)
I use the cloakbox for an easy vpn solution for the users in my household. I can wirelessly connect to the internet via the cloakbox using my galaxy nexus running 4.0.4 as well as various other devices (Mac, ipad, etc).
However, on my xoom running Team EOS ICE release 2, I can connect to the wireless but not to the internet. I can't connect even to the router to administer the device (e.g. 192.168.20.1). I can see that xoom has an IP assigned in the android system settings and that the router has assigned it an IP. It just is not getting out to the internet.
I've tried changing various settings on the router but it seems that it's a xoom problem since other android devices can connect to the internet via the cloakbox.
I've searched on the tubes and can't seem to find the answer so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks

[Q] Using 3G and Wifi simultaneously

I have a Samsung i5800 and would like to use my data plan to use the Internet at home.
I tried setting my router Dlink DIR600 (ddwrt) to connect the phone but for some reason the Dlink is unable to connect to the Adroc network generated by android-wifi-tether.
So I thought to make the phone connect to the Dlink and to make the computers to route the internet through the android but the android does not allow the Wifi and 3G running at the same time.
Is this possible?
no!!!!!!!!
you cant link your router to your phone to boost the signal per say. What you can do is just a simple android tether to the devices you want to use at your home
You can't do that on your Android phone.
Thank you.

[Q] How to connect to wifi 802.1x EAP ?

help me connect to eduroam pls
when i try to connect it says : "scanning ...."then "connecting ...." then "saved, secured with 802.1x"
Sensation XE
fw 3.25
rom : ARHD 6.2.1
ICS
same for me Sony
seems to be an android bug
-scanning-connecting-searching---- "disabled, secured with 802.1x eap"
this is my loop, and no connection at all
Same here :-(
iPhone users can connect fine to my company's 802.1x wifi network, but i can't from my android phones (SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread & HTC Sensation on ICS)
A google search shows a lot of users having issue in connecting to 802.1x networks since Froyo (Android 2.2). There are worksrounds suggested, but they don't appear to work for me.
It seems the issue still exists in ICS as well :-(
Try LEAP WiFi free (it is in the market) or try to find one app for your comapny.
Leap WiFi works fine for me on IBM EAP APs.
Delete your old saved setting, before creating a new with Leap WiFi.

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network and now all our Android devices are able to connect to it.
The walkaround I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest that you can imagine.
I'am a BES, MDM and Lotus Administrator, and btw and iOS lover.
Many of my colleages are Android users, and their claim is always the same.
Why iOS and BB users are able to connect to the corporate wireless network by chosing only WPA2 Enterprise and only needs the network SSID and their Active Directory Credentials?
2 years has passed since I heard this claim from my colleagues for the first time , and until yesterday, all of them remained disconnected even when they had ICS on their devices.
This things made me think about the Android and iOS system differences, and the way the OS developer thinks.
A wireless chipSet is a wireless chipset, and it not depends of the OS installed in a mobile device to have a better compatibility.( not like servers or routers ).
When you setup a Corporate wifi network on iPhone, basically you command the system to use some protocols to connect to, included in the WPA2 Enterprise cabinet. the system check all of the until find the right one to connect.
Android doesn't have the same protocols defined in his WPA2 Enterprise system definitions, so if you try to connect to it by using the main Android interface, you will have an authentication error.
There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.
It's name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.
Firstable you have to setup your wireless network manually as seemful as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.
Save it.
Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.
There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup.
It worked for me as a charm.
When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.
DO NOT Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy 1, 2 and Note mobile devices and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS.
May the force be with you, my young Padawan
Regards
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.
Leap WIFI free not working with JB 4.2.1
I have tried using Leap WIFI free on my Asus TF700T running the latest OTA update to JB (4.2.1).
While the tool seems to create a network profile, it does not even connect.
Trying to connect to a wifi network that shows up as Cisco EAP-FAST when I connect via my windows laptop
I've tried creating the profile using the built in wifi config editor as well, unfortunately it defaults to PEAP and while it connects and gets an IP address I do not have actual network access (e.g. web browsing fails).
The wifi ACE tool has not been updated to support JB yet either.
Any other suggestions?

[Q] Wifi Tether and DDWRT for a complete home network

OK, my wife and I each have Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3's. We both have Wifi Tether TrevE mod installed and working and we also have a linksys router running DD-WRT.
I have wanted for a long time to create a stable home network with the router using our phones for internet. Reason being, We both have laptops that need access to our WiFi networked printer. And I also wanted to create a networked storage.
I started out trying to use the Router as a repeater bridge. The problem here is that in that mode there is no DHCP server in the router, so when you turn off WiFi Tether in the phone, there is no IP assignment taking place since it is handled by the phone. This is ok for the printer because we can set a static IP, but not ok for the laptops because they need to have auto ip assignment for all the other networks they might encounter. Plus I'd like to be able to have a friend come over and use the printer if need be without having to change his IP address. So this setup is unstable.
Then I tried the Router in Repeater mode. In this mode IP addresses are being assigned and everyone can see everyone else on the network. The problem here though, is that the Router and all connecting devices have to be in a separate subnet than the WiFi Tethering phone, i.e, Tethered Phone on 192.168.1.x and Router on 192.168.2.x (as far as I can tell anyway, I've tried putting them on the same subnet but fail to get internet access.) It's a problem because I have Samba Filesharing installed on the phones and the tethered phone is in a different subnet and not visible on the network. I want all devices visible.
So that's kind of where I am now, Wifi Tether on both phones (each setup with same settings so either phone can be used as our internet gateway) but they are on a separate subnet from the rest of the network while tethering.
How do I get all of my devices to be visible on the network?
Do I need a different setup in DD-WRT?
Currently it is setup in Gateway mode with DHCP server and wireless is in repeater mode with a VLAN setup with a different SSID from the WiFi tethered phone.
Do I need to usb tether the phone to the router? I have a usb port on the router but I've not found good instructions for getting the phones internet through to the router that way and I'm not sure that I would want it that way since I wouldn't be able to walk around with my phone.
Is there a way to make devices in different subnets visible to each other? Some kind of bridging or static routing or something?
Is it possible to have the phone connect to the router in a normal manner and for the router to then share the phones internet connection with the rest of the network? Then at least the router could run DHCP and be stable even without the phones.
Again, just to clarify, I want a home network with devices connecting to my WiFi router running DD-WRT and internet being provided by one of our phones, but with the network remaining intact when the internet provided phone is removed. Thanks for your help.
Bonus questions:
Is it possible to harness the power of both of our phones internet connections into one network by any means possible?
Are there any other wifi/tethering apps or another version of WiFi Tether that offer more features or the functionality of DD-WRT?
did you see this?

Thanks. Not much new there other than Barnacle. Didn't know about it, tried it, doesn't work on my phone. I would like to see a version of WiFi Tether with some more options though, why couldn't we have one with the same options as DD-WRT?
I did some more reading and I think what I need to do is link the subnet created by the router to the primary router (the phone serving Wifi Tether) through static routing. Unfortunately the static route needs to be done through the primary router and WiFi Tether doesn't include features like that.
I'll do some more experimenting and see what happens.
[A] Cellular Phone/USB Modem As WAN Connection
Answer is in the DD-WRT Wiki, here (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Cellular_Phone/USB_Modem_as_WAN_connection).
Or just google "DD-WRT Cellular Phone/USB Modem As WAN Connection", it should be the #1 result.
Their WIKI is a great resource.
Good luck!
EDIT:
In retrospect, I am unsure about linking to the DD-WRT site... external and all. If this is a no-no just let me know and I will delete the link.
DD-WRT Client Bridge worked for me
I was able to do what you're trying to do by configuring my DD-WRT router as a Client Bridge.
I can't post the link, but there are directions I followed exactly on the DD-WRT wiki in the section:
DD-WRT wiki mainpage / Linking Routers / Client Bridged
I'm connecting my router to the tether via wifi, and connecting my wired devices to the router. I haven't had it working long, but so far it has been great.
Got it, sort of
Just to update this thread. The client bridge is a great way to connect a wired network to the bridge but loses out on creating a stable wi-fi network when the phone tether is turned off.
Anyway, the final setup I managed was having the DD-WRT router set as a wireless repeater with a computer connected to it running a DHCP server. The computer takes care of the IP addreses so that we have a stable wired/wi-fi intranet when the phone is not sharing it's internet connection.
Update: I founde another solution/project based on OpenWRT
http://ofmodemsandmen.com/
my exploits using a Linksys E3000 have been documented here:
http://tweakedrom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7
I kind of like the USB tether thing. The E3000 Router USB power charges and maintains my SCH-i605 (Verizon Samsung GN2) running CM12.1. I use this as a backup connection or in the event of main cable modem service disruption at the house. It is also great for traveling (hotels) or camping (car 12v adapter for router, or power inverter)
I just bought a used Asus RT-N66U router. Out of the box it supports USB tethering with android phones and dual WANs for failover/load balancing. ROOter also works, tested the x86 build on an old PC. I'm looking to cut out my ISP completely and just use 4G from the phone for internet. The issue I have run into is that I can't appear to do DDNS or port forwarding. My wireless carrier (verizon) appears to be employing a double NAT. If I perform a speedtest on the ookla app, I get 2 IP addresses in the results, an "internal" and an "external". Both are in the public range but I can't DDNS in with either of the IPs, nor can I get any kind of service working.
Anyone have a solution for this? I'm not 100% sure but I wonder if using the SIM card in a dedicated USB 4G modem (not tethering via the phone) would get me a direct IP? I suppose I could also sign up for a VPN service and run OpenVPN on the router but that'd cut down on speeds I think. I've also heard about punching holes for ports but I'm not 100% sure how that works, I assume I still need some 3rd party public IP for relaying or something.

Connected to wifi, no network access. Help!

Hey guys,
Here's my issue;
I just got setup with comcast, using their wireless gateway (modem and router in one) in my new apartment. I have connected my macbook, my ipad, my iphone all with no problem, and have connected my galaxy s3, gained an IP address, but remain unable to get connected to the net. I've tried all the usual resets, no luck.
The details
Router uses wifi 2.4 ghz protocols G, N.
Security:WPAWPA2PSK-TKIP/AES
Mac Filtering Mode:Allow All
The phone:
Running Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC 2
Android Version 4.2.2
I can connect to the wifi using my network key and get:
Status: Connected
Signal Strength: Excellent
Link Speed 72Mbps
Security WPA/WPA2 PSK
IP address192.168.100.12
So all looks well and fine but going to the internet, google now, anything i just get no connection and it just hangs trying to get anywhere. I have never had an issue connecting to another network, so I am somewhat baffled, any suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks all

How can I share mobile data to connected wifi thru network bridge in Andoird 6.0

Hello Experts,
I am not a super expert but working on it on own interest basis.
My situation is,
I have one broadband connection thru ADSL+wireless router.
Normally my PC & other android devices at home are connected to wireless router of broadband.
Sometimes, this broadband connection fails for a couple of days.
I have one Android 6.0 mobile device which have unlimited data plan, but other android devices like mobile, Tabs does not have data connection.
During that time,
I create a hotspot & share to other wireless devices, but my PC does not connect until I connect thru USB tether.
Is it possible ??
To make a bridge in android 6.0 MM, between data connection & wi-fi ?? (I will connect it to wireless router with out hotspot), & set the DNS & gateway manually in the PC & wireless router.
What I have already done
Connected my mobile having data conn to win 10 PC with USB tether & PC is also connected to adsl router thru LAN.
Now,
I have checked the address of USB tether network IP (192.168.XX.XX), gateway (192.168.XX.XX) & DNS (192.168.XX.XX).
Then I created a bridge connection at PC between ADSL LAN & Tether Connection. Set above mentioned IP, gateway & DNS at created bridge connection.
Then I logged in into ADSL router,
Changed its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.XX.XX ( matching with USB tether conn except last digit).
Then I connected all my android devices to ADSL router wireless network & manually set the DNS address to every network same as USB tether DNS.
profit :
Not much, But I am getting a strong wifi network signal from ADSL compared to mobile hotspot & all my devices connected to internet being at different places of home with different people.
My above query was to get rid of USB tether in this situation.
Thank you for reading all above & suggestions if any.

Yez and yes, search Hack5 in youtube and find the video relating to wifi pineapples( the bridge/router) and you will find everything you need , along with EasyTether pro(works fully tested to bypass tethering restrictions) . I dont know how the pineapple/router works but I know EasyTether uses adb to take and make a usb tethered connrection, then with a moderate-advanced setup(ie. wifi pineapple) you will be broadcasting wifi to any device you need. The only downside is you have to usb tethr to the pineapple at all timez to make a usable wifi,So in my opinikn best to buy anothr $45 a mnth plan especially 4 tethering, tho Im just now switching to a ISP for my internet it did the job, i even freelanced for awhile all remotely using the hotspot/created wifi/bridged connection.Hope that hellps brutha
Th
Tks...Bro...
I did it long before without spending a single penny.
I simply used network hack and bluffed the pc and other devices...It is working like charm....
