Awesome, thank you for this. I was having similar problems with mine after the Froyo flash too. I'll give it a shot.
I've been using Froyo since DG posted the link to JI6...and I've never had this issue. I use wifi on a daily basis. Weird.
Super weird...what would your android id have to do with wifi?
Oh and this belongs in general!

I didn't have any issues until Cog 2.5.5. Once I flashed it my wifi just quit on me. I tried going back to stock Froyo to see if that was the problem, but no luck. As soon as I changed my device ID to what I had on Eclair everything got fixed.
I was having the same problem. I found a workaround that doesn't require changing anything on your phone. I accessed my router settings, changed the security type from WEP to WPA2 and the phone obtained the IP address immediately. Hopefully this will help out those of you who aren't familiar or comfortable with flashing your device yet.

Thanks for the info. Decent work around. I would still like to resolve the issue, but for now this works.
I did all of the steps in the original post, but it did not correct the issue. Actually made my phone worse. Now I cannot get into download mode, and I'm on Cognition beta 8 and my GPS does not work. It was working on Froyo leak, but had these same wifi issues.
This workaround is not working on my fios router. It is working on my netgear router at work. I'm not that well-versed to explain either situation. I just don't like hitting my data plan when I was getting wifi before 2.2 flash. And even then, it was working for a few weeks.
I ve flashed my phone and everythjng works great till one day when I wasn't able to connect to my wi fi at home (using wep key). But at my office works like a charm with wpa key.
If you are still having issues with your wifi after using the two work arounds mentioned in this thread I would reccomend flashing back to stock JF6, doing a master clear and reflash your current ROM. I would not suggest restoring system data using TiBU after doing the master clear as this could carry over your wifi issues. Yes I know it sucks to have to redo all your settings, but if it gets your wifi working then I would say it's worth it. After you restore your apps and such reapply the first fix that I mentioned to change your device ID back.
I did all the steps you mentioned in the first post. But I dont see any Android_id entry in secure tab.
I am using sqlitebrowser to edit settings.db file.
I am getting wi-fi getting Ip address error after installing odin3 1 click froyo update for captivate.
any other alternatives?

Has anyone tried assigning a fixed ip address, this worked for me.

For me, it was due to some zombie ap that I did forget. Ever since, my froyo got back to normal. The ap is svuwired.

Don't see why you have to do all that. Just flash back to stock and wifi works again.
I'm using a stock Froyo (official release , rooted)
when connecting to a Linksys N150 router, Im stuck at 'obtaning IP Address'
it's the same whether there is no password, WEP, WPA
on a linksys WRT54GH I can connect without problems, but oftentimes even if the phone shows that I'm connected via Wifi, there is no data coming through. I will need to disconnect and reconnect to my router
on both setups, I am able to connect and surf using my ipod touch (4th gen, on ios 4.1)
this is especially frustrating for me because there are 3 Galaxy S users in the house (the other two are my sisters, who bought the phone because of me)
HEEEELLLP
hey guys, i have the same problem and tried to fix it by editing the device id .. but my device id is same as from what i have noted down... plzz help me guys
The VPNC Widget in use by several here requires the use of advanced routing to maintain the VPN connection, otherwise it randomly will drop.
Question 1 - Are there any kernels currently available with advanced routing enabled? I have not been able to find any.
Question 2 - Are there advanced routing modules that can be loaded ad hoc?
Thanks in advance for the guidance.
When I was using Prime 2.1.1 on my TF101, I had no problems. Except the thing would regularly FC even if vpnc was still running, and it would disconnect after like X minutes of inactivity.

The random disconnect issue is a result of not having advanced routing in the kernel, hence my request. Otherwise, VPNC Widget works perfectly for me.
I have not seen a ROM with advanced routing but it is not going to be an issue anymore. ICS has (among other things) a built-in support for old-style Cisco VPNs (XAuth) and the long-awaited update is being rolled out by Asus (currently in Asia only) => VPNC Widget won't be needed.

I have tried accessing our corporate VPN on a Prime running ICS, it won't handle the group ID and password necessary, so VPNC will still be required for that.

My network uses group password as well and it works fine with ICS on my Galaxy Nexus. The VPN type has to be set to "IPSec Xauth PSK", "IPSec identifier" is actually a group name. You are asked for final user login/password during connection attempt.

Hello
I'm having some problems with Connecting to my works VPN with my TF101 which just got the ICS update this morning.
I set it all up just like I used to with my Xoom (running ICS) and just how I do with my Galaxy Nexus, those all work fine, but with my Transformer when I click on the VPN thing to connect, it connects, however when I look at it's info, I can see that nothing is being sent or received.
When I try to remote into my comptuers I can't, when I try to access the intraweb I can't.
So I really don't know if this is something I'm doing wrong (although I'm doing exactly what I have done before on other devices) or if it's something wrong with the TF101.
I'm not rooted currently and I got the update over the air.
Thanks, and I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place.

I upgraded to ICS this morning and tried it, unfortunately it again just timed out.
Ok, maybe it is not related to ics. After installing ics, I lost my vnp connection for the office (maybe because I was not using any lock screen before) I have re-entered my vpn, but now I always get a "timeout" when I try to connect Do any of you who are using vpn's connection also have this issues, or maybe I have something wrong in my vpn settings ?
Anyone with stock firmware ics can confirm vpn is still working ?
Working fine for me, might be your specific vpn?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Ok thanks. I'll make sure with the technicien here that everything is ok on their side
I had the same problem...the vpn connection settings were erased after ics update.
I created the connection one more time but didn't worked. I deleted that connection also and created another one...with the same details and worked.
Can confirm this issue also. After creating a new connection vpn works like a charm.
L2TP/IPSec PSK vpn is broken for me after upgrade to ICS. Seems to be a known problem with ICS. My colleague's Transformer Prime with ICS also not working with same type of VPN. It was working great with Honeycomb 3.2.1 before upgrade on both devices. I use the tablet for work extensively so this kind of sucks. Everything else is great.
Have a B90 TF101 so can't easily downgrade!
So is it an accurate assessment that L2 VPNs still do not work on ICS, such as solutions from Cisco and Juniper? We had to setup a special L2TP/IPSec PSK for just Android devices, whereas iDevices work just fine with industry standard SSL VPNs. Amazing that Google can't get on board with this. Wondering too if the Exchange cert issues still persist with the default mail client.
Yes. We setup L2TP/IPSec with PSK on a SonicWall firewall that works for both the iDevices and our Android devices. All android devices that upgraded to ICS stopped working. Will try to connect but will timeout trying to establish connection. I can't confirm all other L2TP VPN types but PSK is definitely not functioning.
We've never had any issues with Exchange push on the devices.
I can confirm it.
Today we have tested furthermore.
Everything is ok on the server side and on the client side.
Looking at the firewall, we can see the tf101 establishing a connection, but nothing about phase 2, it's like the server is giving the acknowledge about the PSK, but the TF101 can't hear or is not listening to it.. eventually it goes out with a timeout.
Everything was ok before ics.
where should i post this message, is it enough to be listed here or should a send a support mail to asus ? or google ?
by the way I've tried deleting and recreating, but still not working.
I formatted before and after ics. I would suggest a format first.

Alternative Solution
Hello,
This isnt a fix by any means but have you had a look at 2X Application XG Server, it is a little like citrix but a hell of a lot cheaper.
The client is awesome and works perfectly for windows, android and iOS.
It is free if you have a low count of concurrent users, I believe it is 5 concurrent users for free, anyway the link is below;
cant post links guys sorry it is 2x with www and .com in between...
If you need a hand with deployment drop me an email at [email protected] and we can sort something out, not doing the big sell here guys just something we use as a company when we decided to move our customers away from VPN's.
Anyway hope someone finds it useful.
cheers.
Don't know if this will help but i use vpnc widget and 2x client. My system is all cisco, and the only way i could get to it before was with an ipad, which i have since given away for obvious reasons. I have been on revolver for some time now, and just upgraded to 4, with no issues whatsoever - if anything it is more stable!
Works for me, too, but I sure would like to know if anyone has figured out how to disable the screen-lock when credential storage is enabled, as I am using mine for an individual OpenVPN and PPTP vpn and it is just plain irritating.
i've sent technical inquiries to Asus with no response. Very disappointing. I guess they are fixing other issues that have a more broad base of users before they take on things like VPN. I believe this is a general ICS issue as a quick search on Google shows varies reports across different manufacturers who have released ICS and the L2TP VPNs are broken. Several bug reports have been reported to Google. Great way for Google to alienate business users.
Do a Google search with these terms and you see all the references to this problem
"L2TP IPSEC PSK android ics"
I was wondering if anyone out there was using an IPSec Xauth PSK type connection? This is what we have at work. I set up the connection on my TF101, I put in all the correct info, and when I clicked connect it connected; however, there was no data sent or received. I disconnect and try reconnecting, but the connection times out. Before the ICS update I didn't even have this connection option so its a step in the right direction, the only problem is that nothing happens when I connect. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this a known issue? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Edit: Hummm... for me I've found a temporary solution by using another app found on Market: "VpnROOT - PPTP - Manager".
My VPN use PPTP with MPPE encryption so, this one works fine for me.
Anyone have luck connecting to a PEAP AP with credentials, I tried some apps that don't seem to work? I can't connect at my University.
Photon Q
I haven't been able to join my work's network with the photon q either. Someone in my thread suggested "explicitly trusting" the certificate but I haven't had the chance to see if the network team is competent enough to do that.
Other people at work also have other motorola phones with ICS so I'll ask them if they can connect. I haven't seen any other devices struggle like the photon q. It just constantly says connecting and then giving up. I can manually set everything correctly and it doesn't matter, if I don't manually create the profile it never asks for the rest of the information.
I'm really at a loss but if sprint's LTE announcements hold true in a couple weeks it may not even matter (assuming an LTE signal is even remotely discoverable).
same for me, I'm just hoping for an JB update soon(yeah right) cause LTE will never be here, but we don't even have wimax. thanks

I know... I do miss my evo shift's wimax, sometimes my work network was so crappy that I'd just wirelessly tether to my phone and got much better speeds.
Interesting that you noted JB. Is the general consensus that Motorola is rather slow about releasing OS updates? My co-worker with the Droid 4 just got ICS a few weeks ago while the Galaxy Nexus has been starting to get JB on sprint.
Successful connect to EAP
Well, my university has 802.1x EAP for wifi encryption. I was unable to connect from my Photon Q using the wifi settings. I have, however, found a workaround. It consists of using this app "WiFi Connection Manager" (Sorry I can't post the link)
I added the network manually through this app, and my phone connects to the network automatically.
Ill write down the steps for my University's network:
1) Click on the app "WiFi Manager"
2) Click on the menu button inside the app
3) "Manual Add Network"
4)Put in the credentials
5) Click Add
6) the phone should connect to the Enterprise network now.
Hopefully it works for everyone who needs it.

I'll have to give this a shot when I go to work tomorrow, I had the network director fiddling with my phone for a while and checking the AP manager and they just weren't talking properly. We loaded our certificate onto the phone as well and that had no effect.
EDIT: IT WORKED. Oddly enough the APs showed up as WPA/WPA2 PSK in the program, but when I manually created the profile with the settings that I know are correct it did eventually connect and work.
good work guys, my univeristy just switched over to peap and this thread helped.
Thanks, guys. Once I had gotten my Photon Q back in late September, I was able to connect to my Universities' wi-fi, although it was kind of a pain because I had to delete and re-create the network profile a few times before it would work. A few weeks ago, though, we had a security certificate expire, and so for the past three weeks I've been unable to connect to our wi-fi. Using the WiFi Connection Manager to manually create the profile worked like a charm though!
In case people are curious, our Universities wi-fi is 802.1X EAP/PEAP using MSCHAPv2 as Phase 2 authentication.

Thanks for this thread, and thanks for this post. I had the same thing happen. My work wifi showed WPA/WPA2, ect., and I could not enter my credentials. We also have an open wifi, which the program kept logging into automatically, but it doesn't work for me because it doesn't allow ssl. So, I had to delete the open network, go to the settings to filter the scan to ignore open networks, then add the secure network manually with all the credentials entered. Then it worked.
Hey guys If I am in the wrong place, please let me know. I got my TF300T just a little while ago and am now trying to use it as a my main computer. That requires me to able to connect to the net on it. It works just fine when I am connected to a regular WiFi network. However, I have no Internet connection at home except for my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, which I had been using tethered over USB to my PC to get the PC online. That worked fine. But this past month, I lost my job and needed to sell the PC, so all I have left is the TF300T. I was sure it'd work fine since I got BT tethering to work fine in the past with that phone. However, I was just experimenting at that point. Now, I see it's a little more ... complicated:
I set my Photon Q to act as a WiFi hotspot using PDANet+ a.k.a. FoxFi. Creating a WiFi hotspot, I can see it on the TF300T. Whether I enter the right PSK2 key or don't use encryption at all, connecting is impossible. It will "Authenticate...." after a minute or so and then try to get an IP via DHCP. Then it will "work" a long time and then drop the connection and try again. This is with the phone an inch away. I found it had a lot of trouble just getting an IP, so I tried setting it up with a static IP. I found out that PDAnet+ seems to default to 192.168.43.111 and the gateway is presumably 192.168.43.1. I tried some other things like .100 without luck. It WILL connect but the WiFi strength indicator in the bar stays gray. It shows up and down arrows as though there's activity, and Excellent strength, but won't actually work in any apps, incl. the default Android browser. Also tried pinging the host phone using the terminal only to get Destination Host Unreachable errors.
I then tried Bluetooth tethering. It will connect and works at a decent rate. But, the only programs that work are web browsers! IM clients, Skype, Google Play, Maps, Gmail, nothing else can connect. Android is convinced I am not online at all, yet I can browse web pages at full speed, which I am doing right now. IIRC PdaNet uses some bizarro proxy setup but they tell you on their site to "configure the proxy settings" and give you none of the details like IP or port! How useful. So, this does me little good. It's horribly crippled.
I tried numerous other WiFi tether apps, most of which hard crash the Photon Q so it reboots entirely the moment it turns on the hotspot. Barnacle and one of the WiFi tether apps (1-click? I've tried so many I can barely remember...) will launch, I can see it on the TF300T, but when I try to connect it says "ANDROIDTETHER or whatever the SSID is, Saved". No matter how many times you choose Connect or Forget, then Connect again, nothing. Gets stuck at "Saved."
I'd try connecting the phone via USB via the TF300T dock but I have searched heavily and cannot find any way to do it. Do I have any options at all?
Thank you for any info.
Hi
I'm tethering Internet from my SGS 1 with 4.2.2 rom with no problem at all. I think you have problem with wifi settings.
Try to set both phone and tab wifi to correct region. If you have phone set to USA and tab to Europe it won't work. You'll find it under Wireless-advanced if you have customised roms, for stock I don't know how to set it. Haven't have stock roms for ages.
About proxy, basic proxy settings in Android works only for browser, so you will need something like proxydroid on your client. I'm using it and for me it is working. For settings, check your phone settings-mobile networks-access points and copy them from there, or call your ISP and ask them for settings.
Hope this helps.
WiFi tether for root users. Is the best thing ever. If you aren't rooted. Root your phone. Also, is there a cm ROM available for your phone? If so, switch. Then use it's default tethering. Your phone is definitely the culprit here.

Unfortunately no CM ROM exists for that phone. It is rooted. I tried wifi tether for root-- played with all the settings.... it will turn on and the SSID shows up on the TF300T .. but if you try to connect it just says "Saved." Even though it also says Signal quality is "Excellent"...

Great suggestions guys! I seem to be making some progress. I can now "connect" and get an IP, but the "wifi signal" bar thingy in the lower-right stays gray, not blue like it usually is when on working WiFi, and apps still cannot get to the net, which I assume is what the gray means (network connection but no internet connection). I will have to go down the list and try every possible configuation, I suppose. Yikes! I'll keep at it...
Thank you!
