So I updated to ICS few weeks ago but now i cannot connect to wifi hotspots.
I generally use connectify to make my laptop as wifi hotspot, to which my other devices, including phone, connect. On gingerbread, i was able to connect to this laptop wifi, but now i cannot. It shows in the available network but wen i click connect, nothing happens (it doesnt connect), no erro rmessages.
Have you tried reinstalling connectify?
I mean the problem could be that connectify still remembers your device and maybe after the update there might be some mismatch.
It's a blind shot but once i had the same problem but on another device and this did it for me.
Ps:you made a WPA network right???

Try these two things
First update to latest connectify
Second create a WPA2 network with sharing as automatic.
Lemme know how it goes.
This is working for me hope it does for you too.

That could be a number of things. Only certain gear has the WPS buttons (Linksys/Cisco, I think).
1. Reset your router. If it used to work then just quit, rebooting the router usually fixes it.
1. Has it ever connected to any wifi equipment anywhere?
2. Check the security settings on your wifi router & verify you're using the same settings & key on the phone
3. Worst case, set up your wireless router to use no security & see if the phone connects. If so, it's probably your set up. Change the router back to decent security (WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES) and make sure you set the phone up to access the wifi router with that same security.
The WPS button is located on the router itself. It should be easy to find.
Google the make and model of your router to see if you have one. If you are using your service providers router you can call them and ask them how you can connect via WPS connection
I dont know what was going on with it,but I did all the steps that yall told me but dint work,It got me mad ashell lolz I left my phone alone for a while when I came bk wifi was working it wierd ...but thank yall ,and just to let yall know it have happen before but never say nothing until now, I was wondering y this happens sometimes it just take 1 day for the wifi to start working, idont know why? it mite be routers or something cuz I know the phone aint the problem or mite be, ....but anyways thatnk you so much for both of you .....

Glad it's working. Weird that it stops working at times. Might be interference from other things if, when it stops working, it's always in the same location.
Good luck

LOL, I hear ya. You might want to try using a different channel on your router. It may help if it is a problem with interference.

every time i flash cm10 or any other roms base off cm10 my phone gets really bad wifi connection. the phone shows other people's wifi, but my own wifi is not showing up, if i get lucky it might show up after a long time. i dont have this problem with sense roms, it shows my wifi right away.
right now it is with sense base JB roms as well. sense base ICS roms are no problem
Happens to me as well its just something I learned to deal with if you lock it and leave the wifi on it should connect by itself and will remain connected.

it is a linksys router, with wpa encryption. i dont think is my router, because i dont have any problem with sense rom, and all my other computer can connect fine.

me too
so viperxl and CR is updated to JB and i am having the same wifi issue again, before i though it is because cm10, but now is with all JB roms. it was fine with viperxl and CR when they were ICS. i tried different kernel, using different channel on my router and change to WPA2. nothing is working. any other thous.
Not a noob but am I missing something. Never happened before but sense ROMs wifi is perfectly fine. Sucks to have these next to perfect 4.2.2 ROMs out here and I can't enjoy them. And I haven't seen anyone else reports this. It will see all the networks but when I try to connect it just cancels. Full wipes/permission fixing you name it. It just won't connect.

2 wire router was the problem if anybody was wondering... Watever
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I'm pretty sure 2Wire routers have always had some sort of issue with AOSP. It certainly isn't the ROM, the ROM is great. It's your router. I suggest keep trying and make sure that all of your settings are correct.
Yeah I'm buying another router as we speak. I love this build toooo much.

I had the same problem on all CM9 build. The update to CM10 fixed it for me.

The nexus 10 doesn't have problems connecting to my 2wire router, but my HOX on cm10.1 and cm10 always had and has issues connecting to it. It takes so long to connect... sometimes its fast sometimes its like 5-10 minutes. manually pressing "connect" doesn't do anything, it doesn't even try to connect and then after waiting for a while its connected. Hate this thing.
Its not the router, because on sense my phone never had issues connecting to it. Its obviously the ROM's fault for the most part.
It did all types of test with different routers. 10.1 just does play nice with 2wires. Connected flawlessly with other routers and my FiOS home router

I think might play around with some settings in the modem. I'll report back with my "findings".

S-OFF
Did you S-OFF ? I had WiFi issue with all CM build (10, 10.1) until I had it S-OFF.
The issue I was facing is that the phone can connect to WiFi but its Speed on Web Brower and Play Store is freaking SLOW (like you're on edge)(but if you test internet connection speed with SpeedTest app, it's fast as much as you can get out of your Cable connection). After I S-Off, the problem just simply disappear.
DID I s-off? Lol but yea I did but that sounds like a whole other issue that you were experiencing. Its def the type of router though.

Haven't done or changed anything. I have wifi on my tab turned on at all times. When I leave my house the tab disconnects and when I come home it reconnects until yesterday. When I got home yesterday I noticed it wasn't connecting, my tab recognized my home network with no problems but I had to reenter the password. Very inconvenient if I have to enter the password every time I am home.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Have you tried the obvious, reboot the router, then reconnect?
Also, does it forget the password with any other router?
I have the same problem too. And it doesn't only happen at home but also other networks.
i had noticed since the upgrade (via mobile odin), my tab 7.7 longer see the 5ghz wifi network, however my note 1 and other devices sees the 5ghz network just fine

a full wipe also fixed this issue..
Ever since my device got bricked and flashed the the original firmware, my connection on wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnects even though im like 10 feet away from my router. This bothers me because I cant play online games. Is there anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
I suggest you turn off your router (or also disconnect the cord) for 30 seconds, turn off your WiFi on your phone, then plug it back in and turn on your WiFi again and check. Otherwise it might be a phone problem.
I'll give it a try
...When im connected to other wifi network this doesnt happen.

You should consider buying a new Wireless Router which is more powerful. As your statement, that this issue doesn't happen in other WiFi network, try to check the speed of your internet, traffic, etc.
My other devices works fine

So the issue must be the communication between your phone and the device. Try to restart the phone, or remove your wifi, and then enable it again.
try this
go to settings> WiFi > advance > keep WiFi on during sleep > select always on
I tried, the problem is still there

you should do a data factory reset

problem solved and a question-why does unstable wifi mess with usb?
My phone kept getting disconnected from my computer. This was apparently happening because my wifi was unstable. Not sure why the phone disconnected, I was connected via usb. The wifi was unstable because I was using a proxy. When I use my comcast connection straight through the problems go away. If someone can explain why an unstable wifi can screw up a usb connection I'd be grateful. Windoze issues?
