So I've installed WmWifiRouter, and I'm really happy with it as an alternative to Bluetooth DUN/PAN, however, I've run into the following issue:
Once I have WMWifiRouter installed and configured, I am no longer able to use my phone to connect to my home wireless AP. Even when WMWifiRouter is closed, it attempts to connect to the Ad-hoc network that it creates, and will not allow me to connect to my home wireless network. I tried removing the wifi settings for WMWifiRouter, only to find that it I do that, I have to reinstall the program to use it again.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I might work around this issue? I know it's a beta, so there might be something there, but if anyone can help, or if anyone has gotten things to work with a similar setup, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Is the website even up anymore? I went to it and it didn't even exist. Are they coming out with any new releases. I was also wondering if it would let us set out own WEP key
Absolutely, I JUST downloaded it yesterday...go wo www.wmwifirouter.com . And yes, it does allow the use of your own WEP key in the latest release. Can you comment on the issue I'm having?
Alternately, is there anyone who is using WMWifiRouter on their Kaiser who isn't having this problem? If so, how does yours work? What are your settings? Thanks
I don't know if this will help, but here's what I'm referring to:
It just constantly stays on connecting, and if I try to connect to another network, I get the error:
"Warning. Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider and try again."
I just tried it on my Kaiser and was able to share the connection with a Dell laptop and Fujitsu tablet simultaneously. Speedtest.net showed speeds like 1120k down and 330k up. I set security WEP and could connect, but could not surf sites with I.E. but with settings changed to OPEN everything worked fine.
I too found that after I shut this down that my "normal" home wireless LAN connection would no longer connect. In fact the WiFi radio turned itself off when I turned it on and expected it to auto-connect as it did before. When I went into wifi setup on the Kaiser I found that my home connection was gone! I had to add back my home connection, re-config it's WEP settings and was then able to connect once again.
I also wonder what the "normal" behavior is supposed to be for this application when it's started. Should one be able to simply start WiFiRouter and it powers up the WiFi radio, ICS, and makes the phone ready for connections? I found that it would Not power up the radio on mine even though it seemed to claim that it was doing this.
I then tried launching WiFiRouter again and sure enough, it screws up my home access point connection profile every time by blowing away the settings and password.
I reported this on the WiFiRouter website.
Thanks so much for the reply. I just tried following the same procedure, and it worked out for me too. So weird that I actually had to delete my home wifi settings. It does work properly now though, and on my device, using DCS 1.7, it doesn't shut off my wifi when i disconnect/close the program. Thanks again for the help!
Well...sadly, my problem has cropped back up. Basically, the exact same thing is happening, but the fix that worked before is no longer working. I did get in touch with the makers, and they are aware of the problem and looking for a solution. If anyone else can help, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll try to post again if/when I get a fix. Thanks
You need to goto Wifi connections & deselect the WMWIFI AP. Then click & hold on your home AP & select connect. You may also have to turn of the DHCP in WMWIFI befor doing this, otherwise your other connections will try using it.
OK here's what I just sent to Jorrit at WiFiRouter when he asked for me to try a few things;
TEST-1 Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi "Networks to access" was set to "all available".
1-Ran WifiRouter (WFR), my wifi radio does not power up, WFR showing "Waiting for ICS and WLAN".
2-I manually powered up radio (using AnyButton Plus mapped to key).
3-WFR then connected, BUT it connected to my Home LAN. WFR's settings were set to "Force PC to PC Connection" but it connected to my AP anyway?
4-Disconnected WFR, waited a few seconds, pressed re-connect, it now properly "connected to WFR".
5-Pressed Disconnect, Pressed Quit.
6-Checked "network to access" settings, they were still set to "All available".
7-Checked wireless networks, Home LAN was still there and all settings were intact, WFR was there as well.
8-Manually powered On WiFi, instead of auto connecting to my home LAN, the radio powered itself off in about 1-2 seconds.
8-I manually powered WiFi On for the 2nd time, now I get "Cannot connect".
9-Checked wireless networks, WFR is at top of list with "Connecting" showing, Home LAN is below it, and checking it shows all settings gone.
10-I manually re-entered settings (Checked "this is a hidden network", and entered my WPA-PSK TKIP Key) and tapped "Connect". Then a dialog box opened asking for the network key again. I cancelled and the Home Lan entry disappeared from the Kaiser's network list.
11-With WiFi radio Off, I again created the home lan connection and set "networks to access" to AP's Only, Powered on the radio and it connected OK.
TEST 2 - With "all available" set, could it be the WFR is at the top of the list, and it "beats out" the normal home lan connection? Lets try AP's Only setting;
1-Left "networks to access" to AP's only and started WFR. It started normally (well, with the exception that I had to manually power up wifi) and when I checked wifi settings, "networks to access" had changed to "computer to computer" by WRF.
2-I disconnected WFR and Quit the program, it powered Off the WiFi radio, checked settings and it had switched back to "only access points", home lan was there, settings intact.
3-Powered up wifi radio expecting auto connect to home lan, No, wifi shut-off immediately again.
4-Powered up a 2nd time without touching anything, this time it connected to the home lan without issue.
So I'd say there are a couple of issues,
A-Why does the WiFi Radio shut down on the 1st attempt after quitting WFR?
B-Using "All available Networks" causes problems if WFR is at the top of the list?
C-I hate the fact that I'm the "only one who's TyTN II doesn't Power up the WiFi Radio when WFR starts"
They are working on it...
We think we have isolated the problem (once again the problem is WZC), patch should be forthcoming soon.

Wow, I hadn't expected a reply directly from you. Thanks very much. I appreciate your attention on this issue. If you have the time and might post when the patch is available, that would be great, otherwise, I'll be checking the the download site. Thanks again.

Patch will be available when it's done, can't say any more than that. We know what the problem is, but it will not be fixed easily, and the workaround is fairly complex, so it's hard to give a timeframe.
Oh, I wasn't asked for a release date, I was just hoping that you might post when it is released, whenever that may be. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this, and totally understand that it's not a simple fix. Thanks again.
I have a different problem. I used this program and now I cannot use internet share using my tilts normal data. Very confused and now haven't had internet at home for over a week now. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see how that could be annoying. Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1801366&postcount=158. Ignore the content, just download the file, unzip it, run the EXE on your phone. It will create two files, post those here, and maybe I can find out what the issue is.
Hi Guys
Just bought a Rhyme for the wife, was working fine but after updating to ICS the phone doesn't detect my router but detects all the others and I can also connect to the others (the open ones).
I have tried factory reset and downloading the RUU and manually flashing it but still the same problem.
I have also searched the net and the XDA forum but no luck, any help will be really appreciated .
Thanks
Since it's your router, you must know the necessary information to connect to it. Try adding a network manually (type in SSID & password).
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried that but doesn't detect it at all, says "not in range" even though I'm sitting next to it.
All my other devices work though.
Tried resetting the router? If that doesn't work, remove wireless security on the router & try again.

Check in your WiFi settings and make sure it is NOT saved in the list of previous networks. If it is saved, press it and select the option to forget the network. After that, disable and then re-enable WiFi. If you network pops up, then connect and you're done. If it doesn't connect, then follow the directions below.
If your WiFi network is not save in teh list, or it does not show up after following the directions above, try to manually install the network. This is accomplished differently based on your Android version. It may be in the settings menu in WiFi to manually add the network. Jellybean has a + symbol at the bottom of the page to add one manually. ICS and GB both have it hidden in the WiFi menu. Simply input your SSID and password, and tap connect.
Thanks guys
I've reset the router and it works if I leave the name of the ssid alone but when I change it back to what it was before it stops detecting it again.
So I reset the router again, just added a password and all's well.
Funny problem though.
Good to go, thanks & thread closed.
I just installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my TF101 and every time I try to connect to my home network, it says 'Connecting' then it goes to 'Saved, secured with WPA' without the internet connection.
Did you wipe it (factory reset) in recovery before flashing? If not, do that and try again.
Also, try forgetting the network (long press on the network and forget from popup) then add it back.
Also try cycling power on your router
i fixed mines; not sure if it'll work on yours :s

Hi, ninjadan9! i had the same problem after flashing it with CM 10 Nightly, but after debugging on settings, i found a fix. i dont know if its a bug or what, but what i did was:
1) 'forget' my network
2) connect to it again(MAKE SURE YOUR SECURITY KEY IS ENTERED CORRECTLY)
3) if still says, "saved, secured with wpa" dont hesitate, you're still not done
4) on your wifi window, press your menu button
5) choose "advanced"
6)there should be a "wi-fi frequency band" choice, make sure its on "auto"
7) still not working? underneath the ''wi-fi frequency band'', there should be "wi-fi' region code".
8) i dont know if yours has a choice selected, but mines didnt. i chose, "United States" and VIOLA. when i went back, it says "connected" and my wi-fi sign finally showed on my status bar:laugh::good:
hope this helps!:fingers-crossed:
Hello there,
So first of all I'M NOT SO INTO TECH..SO PLEASE BARE WITH ME.
I have a Note Edge (SM-N915G - a Singapore Variant) which worked perfectly fine until a recent security update. After the update my phone won't just connect to 3G or 4G but WiFi works like a charm.
In network settings if I set the network mode to "4G/3G/2G (auto connect )" OR "3G/2G (auto connect)" I won't get any calls,text messages or data (though it shows E when data is turned on). If I set the mode into "2G only" everything works well, obviously data on E though.
So could someone help me to fix this?!
I've already done the following..
Tried different SIM cards..
A factory reset..
Cache partition wipe..
Trying the Safe Mood Boot..
Downgrading the firmware to the one before the security update (using Odin)
But NO LUCK!
Here's some further info if you need:
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level: 1 August 2017
PS: MY DEVICE IS NOT ROOTED!!
Same issue with my galaxy note edge

Mom had the same problem with her note edge. Found a link that fixed it. Can't post the url but here is the info provided:
There is a known bug among some of Samsung phones. It appears that a phone that’s been connected to Wi-Fi for some time fails to automatically switch to mobile data network. Samsung has added a feature called Smart Network Switch to address this problem. Make sure that you have it enabled under Settings>Connections tab>Wi-Fi>Advanced settings>Smart network switch.
Some Galaxy phones have also exhibited smart network switch problems. If your initial problem remains, please do the following to delete the system cache:
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power.
When ‘GALAXY Note 3′ appears on the screen, let go of the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home
Press the Volume Down key to highlight ‘wipe cache partition.’
Press the Power key to select and wipe the cache.
With ‘reboot system now’ highlighted, press the Power key to restart the device.
Some forums noticed that other phones may continue to experience the same problem even after deleting the system cache because the reason lies on some installed apps. If nothing works for you at this point, consider doing a factory reset and observe how the phone behaves when no third party apps are installed. If the problem fails to occur, install one app at a time until you can pinpoint which one is to blame.
The same has happened to mine note edge too.
Its really annoying that samsung is not addressing this issue.
The exact figures match with security patch 1 august 2017 and android version 6.0.1 did downgrade my note edge to kitkat still of no use. It does not keeps on to 3g/4g and works flawlessly on 2g but the network speed sucks as on 2g. Please resolve the problem even if the possible solution is to root and upgrade my device

Nothing happened even after all of y hese steps.
Still stuck with 2g only.
Good day to you, I have a Huawei 4G router model E5373. The thing is that when I try to log into the device's settings, it won't accept my credentials even though I'm sure they're right. Therefore, I tried to reset. I tried to press the reset button 15,20,30, and even 60+ seconds. The lights on the router keep flashing indefinitely and nothing Is happening, the router is not turning off automatically as it is supposed to and I have to turn it off by hand. The router won't reset, the SSID is still the same with the same WiFi key with no return to the default settings. Am I missing something here?
The router is working properly, I can access the internet and everything. However, I can't hard reset so I can access settings and change the WiFi key and the SSID. I hope this is not off the topic of the site. I would appreciate some help.
