Two HTC Desires on 1 router?

Hey, im having trouble connecting my htc desire to my home router, im almost 100% certain its because my roommates desire has the same MAC address as mine, meaning the router blocks one. So i tried changing my MAC address using the "ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX method on terminal, but after i change it (i checked, it does change), the router wont even connect to my phone, and it gets stuck on "applying ip address". Also when i turn wifi off on my phone, it changes the MAC address back to the original.
I have looked around a lot and foubd no solution, so please help would be very much appreciated

MAC addresses are unique, so there would have been no need to change it! I'd say leave it reset back to what it was for now.
Have you tried restarting both phone and router? Maybe the router is set to only allow certain MAC addresses. You'll need to add your MAC address to the router in that case. What router is it?

Its a BT 2wire router, i have tried all kinds of stuff like resetting both to factory conditions etc. Iv never tried adding the mac address to the router, though that sounds like it could work.
I thought mac adresses were unique too, but ours say they are the same in hardware information on the phones settings.
How do i add the MAC address to the router?

[Q] Wifi Problems

Hey guys/gals, I have a problem with setting up the wifi on the tab 7.0 plus.
It sees my SSID - I enter in the password, it says obtaining IP - but is stays there never actually giving me an IP from my router. I get signal strength, etc. but I cant access the net.
So i decided to try to set a static IP, but that did not work either (but not sure I did this entirely correctly, so ...)
Any solutions? Whats the problem? it can be that hard....

The likely problem is that DHCP isn't running on your network (or isn't working.) DHCP is something that usually will run on your router and assigns IP numbers to devices that connect to it. It's also possible that DHCP is working fine, but you have MAC Address filtering enabled on your router (which basically limits which devices can attach to your network.)
Finally, it might simply be a router incompatibility (though I haven't seen that very often.)
As to how to resolve those things... I can't answer that... I don't have the same router you do (unless you just so happen to have a linksys E4200), so can't walk you through reconfiguring it.
Good luck

Had the same problem at the beginning when I unboxed my Tab for several times. After few resettings my router an Tab it finally started to work and since that moment couple of days without any issue. So don't know where was the problem..:-(

I also had DHCP issues upon unboxing the tablet. When it first powered up and tried to connect to my D-Link router, my Wi-Fi would go offline. All of my other connected devices would also go offline. After pondering this bizarre behavior for a few moments I decided to turn off the tablets wifi. The router and other devices magically came back online and connected.
After repeating this several times just to make sure I wasn't seeing things I assigned a static IP to the tablet. Everything worked fine after that.
What I think was happening there was that the tablet was trying to grab the router's IP address and that was knocking everything offline. This is just a guess though. Maybe someone with more network saavy than me has some thoughts?

thanks i will try these tonite and reply back.
My Tab is rooted, but I dont believe that matters, correct?

Yes it shouldn't matters...

So i played around, couldnt get DCHP to work for an IP. So i went back to creating a static IP - i missed 1 digit on DNS1 the first time which is why it didnt work last night. Once the static ip was up - boom.....magic. I called samsung support, they indicated that this is a know issue with some home routers (mine is a 2wire) and that a static IP is the solution.
thanks for all the tips above, much appreciated.

Wifi connectivity.

Do you guys have problems connect to certain networks? Like the network at my university hates the tablet or something my phone Samsung galaxy s2 and laptop connect fine. Tablet is not able to connect ever just says connecting then obtaining ip address and never does.

Dhcp ip wont update
I have a Note 10.1 GT-N8000 running 4.0.4 but I cannot connect to our home network. We moved to PI but the note maintains the DHCP IP we used in Kuwait. I have done the following. Factory Rest, Hard Reset, statIc IP (but wont recognize), After changing the IP to static rebooted Statis IP remained. Shut down again then changed to DHCP again back to the old IP address. On the router reset, shut off,
I have another note same model no issue, an S3 No issue, A Galaxy Note1 no issue. laptop no issue. So I don't believe its the router. Any thoughts or ideas?

PROBLEM: Obtaining ip address loop

Hello,
I have been experiencing this problem for a couple of days now, and it's driving me crazy. I tried all i could find on the internet (resetting the phone, the router, wiping cache, using static ips, deleting files in \data\misc\wifi\dhcp...), but when i try to connect to my wlan all is stuck in this "obtaining ip address" loop. The weird thing is that this never happened before, and involves all android phones at my house now, but not my windows 7 pc. Im on the latest vipersaga rom, and we have other phones, running jb. What could i do? is anyone experiencing this?
Thanks for helping

Quick and easy fix is to assign your devices static IP addresses on your router.
Is the router running WEP encryption? If so change it to WPA2.

thanks, i solved it easily assignin the ip directly on the phone, i had had problems doing that just on my router. I had already WPA2 anyway

Wrong ip adress

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem on my brand new stock Galaxy S7. The IP address displayed on the status menu is wrong. This causes problems to connect to certain home entertainment components like Chromecast, Sonos etc.
The DHCP range for my WLAN is set to 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150, so why on earth is my S7 reporting 192.168.10.136 as ip address?
All my other components and phones in the house works like a charm with these settings. My previous S5 4G+ also worked on this WLAN without any problems.
Have anybody experienced this problem?
The router is an Asus RT-AC66U with stock firmware.
Thanks!

Has it connected to the 2.4GHz / 5GHz band? Maybe pushing out different DHCP IP Range on that band?
S7 set to Static IP?
Static lease set for the S7 MAC Address in the router?

I think your best bet is to log into the router and see what devices are connected.

Tried both WLAN bands (5 and 2.4 ghz). No difference there. I don't see the phone in the DHCP lease list on my router. Adding a static ip adress to my phones MAC adress on the router works, but this should not be necessary.

Looks like it could be a router issue, similar model here with the same problem
