First of all may I say I have searched for this problem on google, as well as xda forum. I did find several threads about this problem, but none of the solutions presented appear to be my case.
So, basically the problem is: I cannot connect to my home router, a Linksys WRT300N N-router. I could not connect with a N1, HTC Desire, nor with my actual NS. My previous Galaxy S was connecting fine though. I'm talking here about stock ROM, no rooting, no custom kernel etc. Also, using static IP address works like a charm, but then WiFi cannot be used on other outside routers, since Static Ip setting is not setup PER router, but rather per WiFi connection, meaning the phone will try to use the static IP defined for any WiFi I run into.
From My experience, it seems it could be related to wireless N router as opposed to b/g. This happened since I replaced my router with the actual one. Ever since this happened, my phone would not connect to my router. Also, this problem seems to be presentfor any N-router, since I cannot connect to WiFi in other locations as well (which might have N-routers as well).
Assuming that it is a problem with N-routers, I don't understand why the Galaxy S would connect, but NS not, since they are almost the same hw.
Does anyone have a clue on this? But please skip solutions like reset router, reset phone, reset modem, use different ROM etc. I am talking stock ROM for all the examples above.
Thanks.
I use my NS with three 802.11N routers without issue (D-Link, Belkin and Netgear).
Have you checked if MAC filtering on the router is active? What security mode are you using? Who makes yr router and does it have latest fw?

Just seen you use Linksys, I have a wag160n and I find it unsusable on terms of wifi, dreadful hardware, despite the parent company being Cisco
Check Linksys forums for problems.
Try another router for whether it's that or phone at fault.

MAC filtering is disabled, I've checked it. Security is, on the router, PSK-Personal with TKIP encryption. Key renewal: 7200 sec. Not sure if this can influence anything.
I've checked on linksys page for fw upgrade, they only have pdf manuals.

Have you checked that you set up the router with b/g/n protocols? not only N..
Try to change the password encrypting method, to WPA or WPA2 or WEP, try also to change the default password.
Have you tried to disable the firewall (DMZ)?
I have exactly the same issue on my stock Desire.....
I have recently upgraded my router from a Belkin G+ to a Belkin N+ and using the b/g/n setting the desire WILL see the connection but will NOT connect to it, NO MATTER WHAT settings you try. Changing it to b/g and it will connect without any issues.
It is my understanding that the Desire/Nexus et al doesnt have the access to the N ability enabled (it has the correct chipset but for some reason it is not active).
Maybe when broadcasting the tri-band the chipset only sees the stronger N connection, therefore tries to connect but gets conflicted (due to lack of N firmware) and instead of switching to b/g it just loops to the stronger signal. IF that makes any sense

Well, the funny part is that I don't even know how to disable the N range to my Linksys 300N.
Anyway, it is weird that the Samsung Galaxy S had no issues with this, while Nexus S (still Samsung made, brother-in-law to SGS) has this issue. For HTC, all have had this problem, including Desire, Desire HD, Wildfire.
Still no explanation or resolution to this matter.
I may have fixed this issue (well I have for me anyway, so yay).
After posting this I decided to apply some weird logic to it. So I reset the router back to b/g, to do this you need to log into the router IP settings, for Belkin it is 192.168.2.1. On linksys routers I think it is 192.168.1.1 but check to be sure.
Once you are logged in there you can change the broadcast settings from N, b/g/n or b/g etc.
Okay, so here is what I did. I reset the router to broadcast b/g only, my Desire would connect. So I decided to try resetting the router to broadcast b/g/n (because I use N on other devices) and then switched the wifi on the desire off and back on again. Low and behold it connects.......Tried it loads of times now and connects everytime!
Might be worth a try?
You guys should just check the logs on the router and see what they say. Should give you a much better idea of what the issue is. You can then Google the error line.
Mine is fixed now, been connecting to various N routers with NO probs since I did the workaround.
My guess would be a protocol conflict (wireless handshake if you prefer) when N routers are broadcasting (based on the fact that the Desire/Nexus etc dont have N protocol enabled in the chipset firmware).
To get around the conflict connect to an N router using the b/g only setting in the routers IP settings and then check you can connect okay and switch the b/g/n back on in the router. I've done this twice today (different N routers, a Linksys and a D-Link) and it works on both where it wouldnt before, so it wasnt just my router.
hum... i am having the exact same problem as described only my router is already using
802.11g&802.11b
i have no idea why it keeps trying to obtain ip address
then it scans agains because it can't connect and tries to obtain the ip again
after trying for a minute or 2, the home ssid becomes:
"disabled, secured with..."
(device = motorola atrix)
I have tried everything and still not working... do routers block Mac addresses if it doesn't connect right away?

Did you reboot your router? Mine does that sometimes but a reboot always fixes it.

Hum. Tried restarting the router... no go

putting this up for those on cm7 (especially 2.3.5 and above) or on stock rom and are having problems with wifi connectivity. case in point is upon first boot after a clean install, device can connect to wifi w/ apparently no problems. on subsequent wifi wake, however, it's either wifi is:
stuck in scanning
connects then disconnects or
all network/s are not in range
...even though other devices such as laptops or iWhatever have no problems connecting & browsing.
you may also need to set the regulatory domain on your device (settings-->wireless & networks-->wifi settings-->menu-->advanced) depending on your region (ch.11 works for me here in the philippines). this should match (or be higher than) the one you'll set on your router, as attached.
got this to work on three legends (one on a dlink router and the rest on different models of linksys) and on a dhd(?), router unknown. this is not THE end-all/ultimate solution, however. consider it as a first step in troubleshooting. HTH

Hello everybody! My HTC Legend is not rooted. Yesterday i bought new router D-Link DIR 615. Everything is ok: my laptop founds the WiFi, my girlfriend cellphone (Nokia 5230) founds the WiFi and it works awesome for them, BUT my HTC Legend don't see the WiFi at all. I disableb the WiFi Protected Setup but still nothing. Made the Beacon period to 30 but still nothing. I config the router without any type of security but still no detecting the WiFi. The 802.11 mode is mixed, Auto Channel is on too and still nothing. Please any opinions?! Thank you in advance!
P.S. I am sorry for my bad english!

try manually adjusting your router's channel to 11-14 instead of just "auto". worked for me on cm7. HTH

@mods: please advise if this is the correct thread to post this. sorry...
Okay, so me and some friends have a really weird bug.. We can't connect to our schools wi-fi (open) We can find the connection, but it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for IP-adress." We all have rooted phones (1 htc sensation, 2 sgsII)
I can connect to all other networks, just not this one. Any suggestions for a fix?
the problem might be the router's encryption type
Try changing it to wep or something else to see if it works
Hello,
I've been looking in the forum for this problem but I havent found anything.
Well, when I connect to my wifi network, it seems like there is no problem, it connects to the network with WPA2 security and shows good signal. However, the speed of the network is very slow like 2G or worse than it. When it spend a while, the wifi starts to work fine with the speed as usual.
I've tried to change to WEP security in the router, I've tried to set static IP in the phone and also i've tried to set a static leasing of dhcp in the router for the phone's mac. Nothing of this worked.
I'm on Liquid Rom, 2.15 hboot and i flashed the 1.15 radio with Temporary Installer v4.
My router is a huawei HG532ci.
I really need some help...Thanks.
Can be crowded on some channels.
Check how many ssid are on your channel.
Change channels? G/N or N only?
Try testing speeds without any/diff security
Try wifianalyzer from store.
Try ookla speed test.
Update router?

Hi everybody!
I'm using the latest build of CM11S (KTU84P), When i'm connected to my home network (using a Dlink 6740H1 router) the connection to the wireless network will stop after a few minutes.
The wireless icon will become orange and there will be no data transfer what so ever. When I'm connected to other wireless networks the phone works fine and does not disconnects.
The "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option is checked and the "Avoid poor connections" is not checked, further more I've tried flashing franko kernel but it didn't change anything.
Other phones in the house (HTC one X) does not seem to suffer from the same problem, did anyone ran into this issue before?
Thank a lot!

*cough*
i have a similar problem with the latest rom.. KTU84Q (38R).. my wifi wont connect to my home AP.. never had this issue pre 38R.
Did you find a solution to this problem?
I have the same problem..
I am also having this problem.
I'm having the same issue with our router at work. Have you tried setting up a static IP for your home network?
problem with wifi: i connect to a network (password) and everything is ok until i go out of coverage. when i go back in area, the phone scans/finds the saved network but does not connect auto, i have to turn off/on wifi and then it connects.
on all networks, dosen't matter the router model or type of network (password or free, static/dinamic IP)
Try deleting all the saved Ap and re-add them. Seems it worked for me, now it connects to Wi-Fi. I had many saved from trips (hotels, pubs Wi-Fi with password and many free)
