[Q] Wifi Problem ?

Anyone having a problem connecting to there wifi, mine just refuses to work. I tried tethering via my phone and that worked ok but it won't work with my router for some unknown reason. It authenticates and actually says its connected but no webpages will work and I can't connect to a google account.
Any idea's ?

Same with mine.
Create a static connection:Eg.
Choose static rather than DHCP.
Address:
192.168.1.xxxxx(some free address on your network)
Gateway (Or whatever the field is called): Make sure it connects to whatever your router is set at
eg.
192.168.1.254
Dns - Doesn't seem to matter. I put
8.8.4.4
With a bit of experimenting that should work. Is yours a BeBox by any chance?

Yep bloody bebox lol, do you post on avforums ?.

Yup. I do indeed. Did you get it working in the end?
I hope they fix this - If I want to connect to a wifi network on holiday and it plays up like this I won't want to have to find out the gateway address first!

Would that make a difference? And if so, how to fix it?

Did you add the mac-address of your Sensation to the MAC -table of the router as "allowed'?

No，because the routers is beyond my control. I'm sure that wifi is ok and i can access the webpage by another device without doing anything. Certainly i need to input the password.
And thank you for your reply.

its a router issue....plz disable DHCP on router ... then use NAT and put a seprate static ip for sensation... this happens if u use automatic ip config by ur ISP....nothing wrong with the fone...my frnd had same issue and i configured his router from here via team viewer and now it rocks.... get router configured...

I'm amazed at your knowledge of wireless technologies but please explain me why is it a router issue if 2 of my laptops, 2 towers and 2 of my phones (along with multiple guests' phones) have no problem accessing content on my wireless network but my Sensation throws a fit every time it's I try to connect?
Thank you in advance.

well all the routers have config options..... they transmit wireless in a particular ip range depending upon the configuration... ur devices have enrolled themselves on all possible empty slots in ip range and sensation is not able to coz it must b out of the ip range now...possibly u must have used many wireless devices but even after u disable them the temp ip auto assigned stays... so except for new devices old ones will never have problem.... jst disable dhcp in config page of router and enable nat.....if it does nt work add me on gtalk [email protected] and i'll configure ur router via team viewer....

[Q] Wifi doesn't work at home

Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on my Samsung Galaxy S2 after I changed some settings on my home router. The wifi works anywhere else, just not at home.
What I changed was the router ip and wireless channel. Since then I have cleared all the wireless and browser settings in the phone and reverted back to the old settings on the router. Still doesn't work.
I've also tried having static IP. It doesn't work as well. It's only the internet. It connects to the router fine and I haven't had any problems with other gadgets and computers connecting.

Your tried turning on airplane mode for a few then reboot?
Your router doesn't have a sync button does it?

One thing you can do is delete the connection to your router on your phone, and connect again with new password from router. Do you have any other device beside your phone connecting to this router? If no, you need to test it. If yes and not connecting check the connection security, like wpa or wpa2. If all fail, reset router. This mean you will need to reconfigure your router. Check manual for more on your router.

Yes. View available wireless connections. Click your router. Then click "forget".
Then view again, click your router, and type the passphrase.

Just tried this and it didn't work.
My router is a cheap basic router that came from my internet provider. No such thing on it.

I've already reset anything wifi related on my phone. It hasn't worked.

Do you have something else that you can connect to wifi to see if the problem is your router?

Not in my home no. But like I said in the OP, the wifi on my phone works fine in other houses and hotspots. It's most definitely some kind of communication problem between my router and phone only but I'm not familiar enough with routers to know the problem and I haven't stumbled on anyone else on google having the same problem.
Two laptops, one Win7 and one OsX, are connected. Unfortunately I'm new in the area I live in and my girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone so I haven't been able to test if it's just my phone or just android or iPhones in general.
I can't think of a logical reason why it's like this

Maybe router is configured with wifi 802.11n and the galaxy only runs on b/g ?

If you're using WPA/WPA2 security, check that the
router is set to use AES encryption.
If you think you did your best. Its better to buy a new router then. )

maybe you could try unplugging your router?

I didn't change any of that. It's got a WEP encryption only as well.

[Q] O3D + WiFi doesn't connect to the internet?

This is a strange one, because it used to do it and nothing has changed.
The WiFi can obtain an IP from the router, it can connect to my PC via the router.... but it just cant connect to the internet via the router?
If I disconnect the WiFi and just use data, everything that has been waiting comes flying through!
Any ideas what is going wrong, the phone says it's connected, but I could swear my WiFi symbol used to go green, but it is just staying white.
Running 21E OS.
TIA.

Couldn't really understand (no offence) but if this happens to me I usually just restart my router and it would work again.

Do perhaps have a Netgear router ?
If yes reboot the router
Change wifi Channel from Auto to 6 or 7
if not try the above also try setting up a static ip
Do you have Droidwall installed?

Yeah I do have a Netgear wireless, I left everything off all night but no joy... I will try your channel change thing and see if that works. It's strange because it used to work and i haven't changed anything that I am aware of and the PC has no problem. But obviously nothing is being sent to the Cisco CM. Hmmm....
Thanks for the input guys. :good:

Sorry OptimusTM, it probably was a bit garbled in my original post.... basically the PC gets to the internet (probably like most folks here) by contacting the wireless, then the wireless contacts the cable modem then it goes to the internet.
However my O3D can contact the wireless, but the wireless doesn't seem to contact the cable modem for some reason, however it will contact the PC.
The phone says it's connected to the wireless. It has been given it's IP address.

Check your DNS server address.
Put manually 8.8.8.8 and tell us if it works.

Thanks again for all your help guys...
I ended up fixing it buy changing the IP address that the wireless router was giving it (set it to static) and also the default gateway to the same as my PC's and it worked straight away.
Still no idea why it had such a dizzy turn in the first place though!?!? :silly:

same problem please can you explain steps

It's happen all android phones when;
-You far from WiFi
-Many people connected that WiFi, and it's reached max. limit
-Install & Delete VPN's...
-Maybe you or someone blocked your device from router.
Solution :
Unplug your router and plug again.If not work forget your password from Android Phone and re-connect it.

Actually the wifi I am using is provided by my hostel so here only the registered devices(they have registered the devices using the IP) are allowed to access the wifi, so I am using connectify to take that wifi as input to my laptop and from my laptop I am providing wifi so dat I can use it in my mobile. But with android devices I cant access it.
I m sitting rit next to my laptop, nd m da only user trying to connect to my wifi, i tried forgetting pass and re-connecting. Nothing worked.
I'll try 3rd option could you tell me how to Install & delete VPN's. Thank You

I was meaning its happen when you using, install, uninstall VPN.. U don't know VPN so u don't use it ;D
You said "I can't connect any android devices" that means your android devices don't have problem. It' s about router.

Can you connect that Wifi any android devices? If you can it's about with your phone if you can't it's about your router. Which device you using OpenVPN?
