Nexus won't connect to my WiFi network , I was using my nexus 5 without issues but today we upgraded the internet speed , and to be able to do it ,we had to get a new modem (besides the new data plan ) , the thing is now I can't get internet on my phone while connected to the WiFi , it connects but I can't do do anything , when I open the browser I get this message :

I can use WiFi with my laptop , and I tried everything I could ,I reset the modem , made a new network with new password etc , I changed the configuration of the router so that the network won't have WPS , I set the DNS values to the "Google ones " 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 , I don't know what do to do anymore :'(

Just checking...Have you plugged the modem into the wrong hole on the router?

That was also an issue ,if I connect the modem to the router where it should go ( and were it was before we upgraded the modem) , the hole says "internet " then I don't get internet , only when I put it in a "normal LAN hole"is that I get internet :/

Check Modem or Router settings for MAC filtering.
It's got to go in the int port or you won't have a dhcp server and only 1 device well be able to connect.
Wire it up correctly then turn both the modem and router off for a minute, then turn back on the modem and wait a couple of minutes or until the lights confirm it's connected, then turn on your router and wait a minute, then try connecting to it.

OK I put the modem cable in the "internet port " on the router , now I get no internet at all :/
Another question , should I put my second cable ( the one that goes to my roomate's laptop ) on the router or on the modem ?

if your modem has LAN ports then it's likely an all in one router/modem.. for basic setup just use that one
it gets complicated after that as how to set two up as you only want one to be serving ideally, and the 2nd as a wireless access point or client repeater..
sorry if I have your situation wrong

Disable MAC filtering if you have it enabled or add your Nexus 5 and other wireless devices MAC address to allowed section.

What?
Ok first shut down the modem and the router. Plug in the cable from the modem into the "internet" port on the router. Turn on everything and you should be all good.
Your roomtates laptop should be plugged into one of the LAN (the other 4 ports) on the router.
Go to your Nexus 5 Settings, look under WiFi for your router - are the settings correct & matched to those of your (new) router? What are they? Do you have another smartphone or tablet or wireless PC - connecting & working with this new router?
You might want to power down your router/modem, wait 5 or 10 minutes - then reboot it & wait for it to resync (DHCP or static IP) with all the network devices, including the N5? Make sure you have the SSID and security key or password saved or copied down first in case you have to restore them, including DNS settings.
Seeing that your location is Berlin - check to make sure your WiFi band(s) are set correctly on this new router.
Can you disable temporary your wireless security & connect openly with the N5?
Most modem/router can be reset to its factory default settings - read your manual & do it as a kind of last resort ... copy & save your current settings. Do these troubleshooting steps-by-steps & don't overlook the obvious - google/download/install/run "inSSIDer 3" by MetaGeek on a laptop or desktop with wireless access, it's a very user-friendly & useful diagnostic tool to analyze and troubleshoot network signals, etc.

Hey , no need to be sorry , you guys are bringing me in the right direction ... Sooo I checked my old modem and yeah it has a USB port, 2 telephone ports and a port named "Ethernet" whereas my new modem has just 2 telephone ports and 5 "LAN ports " , our internet company just gives a modem and if we want to have WiFi then we need to pay 2 euros more , my roommate had always used a modem +router combo but it looks like that won't work with this modem anymore , maybe the company got this new modem to make the set up process easier for people and of course to prevent people like us from getting WiFi with our own methods :/

So you, like you said, I have to use the new modem I got , I can't plug in a router, now checking my Provider's website I realise that there's two different devices, the one I have Hitron cve-30360 ( I assume is a model specifically built for my provider - Kabel Deutschland- is a "Cable-router and WLAN-Router" and there's another (more expensive) device homebox fritz box 6360, which is a "Modem, WLAN-Router, Server and Telephone System" so what's basically the difference between this two devices? To be honest I thought the device I had was a modem and it turns out it's a "Cable-router"

I had a read up, unfortunately most info is in German for me, but the info on the main site is indeed confusing
it does appear to be an all in one cable modem wifi router, check the features page, euro docsys3.0 compliant.. also the picture of the back shows a cable connector, so it has to be.
You should be able to connect everything to that wirelessly and wired.. you should of been supplied an ssid and password
edit, unless your cable company turned off the wireless and locked you out of the settings on the new device.. in that case connect the second router via the LAN and turn off the dhcp server in its settings.. edit...or set wireless access point, if it has it

For the past couple of days, I've been reading numerous threads on how to tether on Sprint's Touch Pro 2 (Stock WM6.5). I ultimately decided to go with the latest WMWiFiRouter program trial (I'll purchase it if it works out good.) What I am confused about is, do I need to install the ICS_and_WModem_Fix.cab prior to installing WMWifiRouter, so that I can stealth tether? I don't want Sprint charging me. Also, do I need to do any of the reg edits if I plan on using WMWifiRouter? Thanks!

Nope just install and go. I've tested with the stock rom and it worked great.
AstainHellbring - I'll take your advice and install only the WMWifiRouter without installing any of the cabs. Thank you sir!
If this helps I've used wmwifirouter for a year or so on my verizon tp2 and I used USBmodem before that on my HTC Touch and never got charged anything for either, I'm guessing it'd be the same thing for sprint.
I was able to tether using the 3G to Wifi connection, without any issue. However, I am somewhat confused as to the steps to follow when tethering via 3G to USB. I don't have ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center on my laptop. Is it necessary to install this in order to tether using a 3G to USB (wired) connection with WMWifiRouter? I tried to tether (without running ActiveSync) this way by first starting the 3G to USB connection. After it finished loading and was ready to connect, I connected the USB cable from my phone to the laptop and Windows7 automatically loaded the RNDIS drivers. A connection was established and it allowed me to tether. What I'm confused about is, what am I supposed to select on the phone when it prompts me, (ActiveSync, DiskDrive or Internet Sharing)? And would selecting that option allow me to tether stealth? Lastly, when stopping the service, do I stop the tether from the program first and then disconnect the cable from the laptop or is there something else I need to do?

activesync or mobile device center is required to use wmwifirouter as it contains the drivers needed (vista and 7 have the MDC drivers and backend included, the extra thin gyo uinstall is just the GUI frontend)
when the dialog pops up asking if you want activesync, disk drive or internet sharing it doesnt matter what you choose, wmwifirouter will override the choice with its own connection
as for disconnecting, ive never had any issues with any means of disconnection (IE unplugging first or closing the app first)
Thank you defaultdotxbe. So if my laptop is running Windows 7, I don't need to install ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center since Windows 7 has the MDC drivers and backend included? If so, I guess that explains why I was able to tether without ActiveSync.
Personally, I noticed that the speed is higher when tethering with the USB cable compared to Wifi tethering. The phone also seems to get less warm.
Have any of you guys been able to compare the speed/stability tethering via USB using WMWifiRouter compared to USB tethering with the built in ICS?
the biggest difference ive found is that whenever the connection is lost with ICS you can reconnect the app, with wmwifirouter is automatically goes back to waiting for connection and reconnects without me having to do anything
and it gets less warm because just the cellular radio is going with USB, with wifi cellular and wifi are going (which also drains the battery faster)
wifi is nice when you just want to jump on for 5 minutes and look something up real quick, with USB im able to tether for 12 hours straight and still have 100% battery when im done

Don't try pushing the connection too hard then because mine dies/overheats a few times a day because I have it connected (usb) to my computer 24/7 for torrents... I've even tried putting a fan directly on the battery and it still locks up/dies at least twice a day.
Papaprem when it asks you how to handle the phone you don't have to do anything it will close on it's own in a few seconds.
em0rox, youre right, it does close on its own. Only problem is, it was using the stock IntShr.exe instead of the IntShrUI.exe file. The stock IntShr.exe file doesnt have the Network Connection selection box for Sprint/Phone As Modem. It just has the PC Connection box for USB or Bluetooth. Here is what I mean:
IntShr -

I basically had to make a copy of IntShrUI and rename it to IntShr.exe. Then I overwrote the stock IntShr.exe file with the renamed one. Now everything is good.

never had an issue, i dont use it for torrents or anything heavy though, just typical web browsing without having to worry about my office's proxy blocking me
i have occasionally had it overheat, but never lock up or anything (the LED flashes green and orange and the battery wont charge, i unplug it for a few mins and plug it back in and all is well)

Why bother with WMWiFiRouter when the HTC Wi-Fi Router program works just as well (and doesn't cost a thing)?
WMWifiRouter also allows USB and Bluetooth connections. It doesn't require any regedits also.
I have just got a Galaxy Tab 2... been playing with it for a few hours now and I have to say I am impressed!!
One thing I would like to be able to do is create a Wifi Hotspot so that I can connect some mobile phones to it to play games with my mates. I cannot seem to find any option to setup the Portable Hotspot though in the settings menus?
I don't need an active data connection, just the ability to effectively use the Tab 2 as a router so it creates a wireless network. Is this possible in any way?
Anyone?!

I have the GT-P3110 version... this may be why then. Your model number shows as the 3G version.
I get the same screen layout as 'klausdieter79' above
So does this mean it cannot be done?
You are asking how to turn the WIFI only version of the tab into a hotspot so other devices can connect to the WIFI as well?
Am I missing the obvious here?

I think that it should not be so difficult for samsung to provide this option to the wifi version.....pitty!!
I dont think this is possible. Wifi tethering serves to share a internet connection. I get what you want to do - you want to create a network so that people can play over a network. But i think they did not include this feature on the wifi version of the TAB 2, since it would not make sense sharing internet through wifi if your device ony has wifi.
oh man
This is a joke or something?If you are connected to a wi fi router,and your mates phones are in the same room with you,whats the point in connecting the phones to your tablet,and not to the same router that your tablet it's connected already?If it's a joke,it's not a good one.Cheers!
@viasat you are a joke.
Imagine you are in a hotel and you have to pay for the wlan key for ANY device you want to use and you doesn't have a device with root priveleges so can't see the key in /data/misc/wifi. I'm in such a hotel right now!

Please be polite,if you want help in this forum,or keep your mouth shut.For me it's a non-sense to use a wifi device to be a hotspot to another wifi device,but if you are so cheap and can't afford to spend a few bucks on a hotel wifi services,maybe you can build yourself a rom for your device,to enable that functionality you need it.Cheers!
Do you think 50€ for one week is a good price to use wlan in a hotel? I don't think so. That's why it is no non-sense to me.
Ok. Back to topic. Does CM or any other rom got this feature?
Gesendet von meinem GT-P5110 mit Tapatalk 2
Why don't you just get one of your friends to create a hotspot and connect to their network?
In a word: no.
You need two radios to bridge and create a hotspot. This is why you can bridge a GSM or CDMA radio to WLan.
Commercial WLan bridges use two separate radio chips to accomplish what you want to do.
I carry both a small DLink portable router/WiFi that allows me to share a wired connection to a bunch of wireless devices and I have a small cheapo netbook that has an extra USB WiFi connection so I can create a WLan bridge.
Or, you can buy and carry a commercial or consumer WiFi bridge that can accomplish the same thing.
So, for the time being, either suck it up and pay the cost or bring the proper equipment. Sorry for being crass, but the tablet can't do it if it's a WiFi only unit.

You haven't understood the original question mate. I want to use the Galaxy Tab 2 as a router.
I didn't mention anything about having a data connection to share... I just want it to act as a central hub to connect other devices to so that gaming can be done across that 'network' NO DATA NEEDED!!
SYGEE - Thanks for your reply, I will look into one of those portable routers... sounds interesting!!

I can create a WLAN bridge with my home router that only has one radio in it (as far as I know anyway). You don't need two radios, but you need drivers that are setup to do what they want, and I doubt you'll find many consumer devices meant to act as a router. Maybe you could setup an adhoc network, but turning the tablet into a true router won't work without a lot of hacking.
There are other reasons to want to use the Tab 2 as a Wifi hotspot:
I want to use the Tab 2 as a touch controller for the Ableton Live DAW. The Android controller app that I want to use requires the tablet to be a hot spot.
Is there a way to setup the Tab 2 as an adhoc network?

I know this is an old thread but I do have a solution..
I use this app called " software data cable "
It creates a wifi hotspot to connect between devices.. Even on a wifi only galaxy tab 2
Here's is how you do it
Install the app "software data cable"
Click on" sync phone" tab
Click on "connect with friends" button
On the pop up - select " create direct push network "
You'll get a message "tethering / wifi hotspot active "
I believe this will solve all your problems.
I've had this amazing tablet for 2 weeks now but sadly I seem to have an infuriating Wi Fi issue.
It connects fine
The reception is excellent
When I download large files (ie the data for a game), the network just drops out and reconnects. When I'm not downloading anything sizeable, it's fine.
Any ideas?
*Shameless bumpski*!
Is "Power Saving" on? If so, turn it off. Other than that, maybe it's your router? I haven't had the same issue with my Note 10.1, either at home or on the road.

Try changing the channel on your router. Usually 1 and 6 are the best.
Thanks for both of your replies.
So - it continues - I've tried all the channels on my router now (BT Home Hub 3) and it still disconnects when downloading large files only. Power saving is off also!
I phoned Samsung - they didn't know and said that it was mostly likely a rare faulty unit. So - I've taken it back to the shop and I've just been given a brand new one.
Guess what. SAME THING! Grrr. So it can't be the device, it must just be a weird incompatibility with my router? Any other ideas or know of any apps that might help me resolve this?
The only other thing is to wait for the JB upgrade and hope that fixes it :/
Right further developments - when I connect to a hotspot like starbucks (where the connection speed is limited), I can download HUGE files and it never disconnects.
So therefore either the Note 10.1 doesn't like an 85mb connection or it's the only device in my house that hates my router....
Annoying though! Still would appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Get a different router...sorry, someone had to say it.

Useful.
I've actually slowed the router down from wifi b/g/n to just b/g and now the tablet works perfectly fine.
So obviously there's an issue with the wireless-n on the note because all my other devices work fine at this rate.
I hope JB will fix that.
I have no issues with the Wi-Fi on this tablet, I'm quite pleased with the dual band.

Yeah, sounds like something with the N implementation of your router not getting along with the Note. I have a Netgear N300 router I bought in the spring, and the Note has no problems running on it in N. I get blazing fast speeds, and haven't had problems with file transfers of any size (I've moved a few 1.5GB movies over the network to it).
Is your current router an older model? Many of them were labelled "draft-N", and the implementation may not be totally correct for N devices. Also, try updating your router firmware if possible, and if that doesn't work give one of the alternative router firmwares (Tomato or DD-WRT for example) a try.

Thanks - well this is the funny thing. When N is on, it connects perfectly and until it 'conks out' it downloads at an incredible speed. Then reconnects!
The router is a British Telecom special and sadly I'm kind of locked to it as it's not a standard ADSL model, rather a fibre optic one and they don't come easily in the UK (afaik). It's not draft-N either...it's just a final implementation of N!
The wireless has a 40Mhz option with N but that seemed to do the same. It's only when I knock N out it's alright.
Exact Same Issue
I have the exact same issue. Only drops out at N speeds with large file transfer. Starts off fine, getting great speeds of almost 4 mb / s, but then just stops.
If I switch n file transfer off, it works fine, but at much slower speeds around 1 mb / s
I am using a zoom 5350 cable modem / router - the firmware is updated by the cable supplier which is Comcast.
Anyone have any ideas here? I also returned my first note to as I thought this was a hardware flaw, but new one I got yesterday does the same.
Solved

Anyone have any ideas here? I also returned my first note to as I thought this was a hardware flaw, but new one I got yesterday does the same.

Update - shockingly, unplugging the cable modem / router and powering it back up now has transfers working at full n speed with no dropouts. Software glitch with the cable companies firmware update perhaps that reset??
Anyway, after having a good 25 attempts drop out before this, every attempt has worked fine since power on/off of modem/router.

No way! That's bizarre!! Good to know it's not just me.....I will try a full reset of my modem/router and see what happens.
If this fixes it, I will kiss your face.
So basically I'm looking to use an old feature that I once had on my Blackberry 9790 which was to be able to tether my data connection of my phone to my computer via a wi-fi router. I can seem to find any app capable of doing this on android. I have an S5 and it has no innate feature capable of doing this.
Basically what I'm trying to do is connect to my phone using wifi (from pc to phone) and have my phone in a remote area where the signal is high since most of the area in my house has horribly low signal coverage I intend on putting my phone in an area where the signal is higher and connecting to my phone via my wireless router which is what i did with my 9790 blackberry a couple of years ago.
To be clear, I'm not trying to connect to use my phone as a hotspot in the conventional sense because that would mean I'd need a wireless adapter capable of incoming and outgoing connections of that type which is obviously not what a wireless router is capable of
you mean making your phone as a wifi hotspot?

What you described is exactly Wifi Tethering (or the so called Hotspot).

Umm, pretty much all wireless adapters can recive Wifi signal (802.11) of your phone. You maybe confused it with Bluetooth.
Anyways this app, FoxFi, can do everything you want with or without root. You can transfer internet to your PC with wifi, bluetooth or even USB!

Okay let me explain this in practical use. I can't make my phone hotspot and connect to the hotspot via my router. Majority of routers cannot take on internet connection via wifi but can push general connections including internet. That being said, I would need a wifi adapter (dongle) to connect to my phone's hotspot (which I dont have). Which leads me to the question I asked which is how does one tether one's device via WiFi? There's a very subtle difference between tethering via hotspot and tethering as mentioned above. Just like my blackberry, it could only connect in this manner with the blackberry desktop app and could not do this through any other program. Basically what I'm asking if there's any app combination that will make this possible? (NO HOTSPOTS)
ill try to review this once i get home.. im still confused on what you are trying to mean..

From this I can tell that you are trying to connect your ROUTER TO your PHONE? That is not possible and I don't see why would you do that.

I think you mean how to bridge a wifi connection? Bridging is basicly you connect your phone to a internet-enabled device and the phone than shares the internet even further.
If this is not the case, please draw what you mean. Like this:

Just look at the amazing paint skills!
Installed what I think is a PX5 with Android today with a DAB radio, Dashcam and LTE dongle attached to the three USB cables.
The unit is displaying signal strength for the dongle, but no data carrier icon and I can't seem to get it to connect to a network - it just searches forever.
Anyone come across this?

No signal on LTE or dab?

LTE. I'm getting a signal strength meter but no 4G/3G etc icon and when I try to force it to connect to a network it refuses. The dongle works fine in a PC.

How would you find out to then provide information needed for others to help you?
Also, is the dongle a supported dongle for the unit you have?

Good question. It's an Xtrons badged unit with no clue as to a model number, but it identified itself as a PX5 at one point.

And there's very little information at all with the unit. Certainly not a list of supported dongles.

Hmmmm. That's tough, anyone else got any suggestions.
MTC(B/C/D/E) Headunits - a must read
Confirmed it is a PX5 - through Google Play Store, of all things. That also confirms that the dongle and the SIM are being read found correctly - it's listed as Three Rockchip PX5 - so I think it's an APN issue. But I can't find any way to create a 4G APN - every settings app I've found only offers 2G or 3G.
It's a moot point for now as the GPS antenna connector fell off, so it's going to have to go back.

Did you figure it out?
I have the same issue on my Eonon GA2170 Android 8.0. I'm 100% sure it is an APN issue. since the device itself doesn't have APN settings, you need to add them to Huawei setting page which is 192.168.8.1 but for some reason chrome doesn't let it open the setup page.

I didn't. I got the unit back the day before I left the country for three weeks! I think it's an APN issue, too. I may dig it out and hook it up to a PC and try to set it up and then re-fit it...
That URL's useful, though - thanks.

I already tried that. On PC, URL opens and i added the APN and it worked so i plugged it my car and same issue, not working.
You know that if you go to settings you can see the specs on the unit.
I too have this issue. Installed my MTCE PX5 unit and connected up my Huawei E8372. I get signal bars but no way to configure or otherwise use the 4G LTE signal through USB.
Currently I have connected to the WiFi hotspot the stick creates which works perfectly, though I would rather get it working over USB.

The same issue for me. Huawei E8372 Bolt branded, MTCE PX5. I have the signal bar, the carrier name, but i haven't the 3g/4g icons and no surf.
i wish someone finds a solution.
@mitchello,
have you already found a solution?
It's the same with me, the signal bar and the name of the provider are displayed, but I can not go online.
I have a Dasaita unit HA5225-V840-8 Android 8
greetings
Only working USB modem I've found is the "Alcatel One Touch Link W800" after going through 4 other USB modems. Unit is a Dasaita PX5 MTCE but flashed to Malaysk 8.0 rom. The APN settings will be handled by the stick itself and connect to the unit as a ethernet connection.
The only issue is that it seems to disable wifi connection on the unit itself. But the USB stick will still broadcast wifi for use with other devices.

@ Dud89,
how is the stick connected? over Wlan?
because the Hauwei E3372 has no Wi-Fi.

This is using the "Alcatel One Touch Link W800" not the "Hauwei E3372". I believe it is a Ethernet connection. The <...> icon that you see on the top toolbar shows up after it disables the WiFi. I cannot use or connect to any WiFi connection unless I unplug the USB modem.

I do not have this symbol, maybe that's from Malasyk Rom, I still have it on Stock Rom.
I will also buy another stick because the Huawei E3372 does not work.
Thanks for the answer.
