I'm having an issue where my wifi can't obtain an IP address from my router. I've reset both the phone and the router and it still can't connect. The password is correct. Any ideas? THanks
Edit: It goes into a loop where it tries to get an address for a while and then disconnects and then starts over
Same here. I'm rooted and get the same thing on different find including stock.
Try turning your encryption off and see if you can connect. If it connects then start working up through the encryption levels. Some devices can't handle higher level encryptions.

I'm trying to connect to open networks. So that's not the problem. hope we don't have another case of the captivate on our hands. I'm kind of in the middle right now with this phone. Possibly returning it and keeping my captivate with all its Rom flashing goodness. I know its early but this thing seems a little buggy to me and the battery isn't helping any.
I'm also having this problem. It tries to connect to the network, fails, and tries to connect again. I love this phone but I may return it and get the Attrix

Just connected, and fast!
Turning off the wifi encryption worked for me. Not ideal but ok for now.
Hate to sound noobish but......how do I turn off the encryption?

Log into your router and set wireless security to unsecured, then save changes
If get on wifi networks in different locations but have same SSID, it could cause connectivity issues (e.g., wifi SSID at my gym is "linksys", same as one of my neighbor's. My Inspire attempts to connect continuously without success to my neighbor's encrypted wifi after I've been at the gym which is an open wifi.)

Could you please fill me in on what you did to accomplish this. I am having the same exact issue it goes into a loop of trying to "obtain ip address" then disconnecting.
I have a stock inspire 4g, sig is outdated. Router was using wpa/wpa2 however i have switched through all the other available security settings (wep, no security) and the same issue persists.
Ok so now i went to the advanced settings and checked the DLNA auto-IP box, this allowed the phone to connect to the network however it still will not pull up any websites through the browser.
Been having the same problem here i can connect to my network but it times out trying to obtain an IP address disconnects and tries again. Any suggestions would be great because i can't seem to find an answer anywhere. My inspire is stock by the way never been rooted or anything
Is your router on IPv6? Needs to be on IPv4.
For those having problems with WiFi...
Change security to WEP
Put wireless router on channel 11
Try these settings first!

Still can't get it to obtain an IP address, however I got it to work by setting up a static IP address on the inspire. I would really like to get to the bottom of this problem though.
You might be having an IP conflict.. does your router allow you to assign IP per a connected device MAC address?
It basically holds a certain IP for a certain MAC address

Hmmm not sure I'll have to look into that. Havent tried to connect to any other networks yet guess that could help a bit
Have u updated the firmware on your network gear? What is your setup by the way?

Ok, tried to use a laptop today on my network and it had the same issue so I reset the whole system (i have at&t uverse) and that fixed it. Don't know why I didnt do that from that start but after I did my inspire connected first time with no problems.
I had a problem with my wireless router and my Verizon router using the same DNS gateways. I checked to see what my DLink routers DNS server/default gateway was using the commands in the run when you hit cmd+r on my PC. I then had to manually assign my phone to a static IP in wifi settings>advanced.
Example;
IP.(phone) 192.168.1.197
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.1
For some reason my phone was automatically reading 192.168.0.1 on the DNS and gateway.

Howdy~
I got an SE X10i and lately I've been having issues connecting to my home WiFi.
I have just recently set an Static IP to my laptop since I'm hosting a game server, so this probably IS the problem to my issue.
BUT is there a way to work around this so I can keep my Static IP AND get my phone connected to my home wifi?
My phone connected before so its pretty much the static IP creating conflict.
Note:
-Using a Linksys router.
-Static IP Machine is connected wirelessly
Thanks in advance,
JT

A lot of public hotspots require you to open a browser to complete authentication.
when I set static IP, my device cannot access internet, I tried it on more roms and result is the same I have set mac to ip bind (to ensure IP is not assigned to another device) on my router and it still does not work..I want static IP as it reduces wlan wakelocks
it is not router problem as on my tablet internet is working with static ip

What router do you have, how is you netwprk configured, did you set the right gateway and subnet mask in the device?

no
Strange not sure why it won't work for u. Anyway I didn't fiddle with the phone setting, I set the static dhcp on the router. Rebooted the router, got the static assign ip.

I'll try it in work on wifi to see if its problem of my network
I flashed desire xs rom and static ip now has internet access, but on sense 3.6 roms it does not work (tried blackout, ice cream saga and stock)
I am trying to figure out if I can change the DHCP IP range in phone uses for tethering from 192.168.43.X to 192.168.1.X. I set my devices connected to my router set to static IP since my network needs to communicate with or without internet. But my wife's Note 3 uses the 192.168.1.X scheme.
I am comfortable using whatever means necessary. Just don't know the deep down commands to change this.
Any help would be awesome.
