So I have a few camera apps I use to monitor my cameras at home. Recently, I have been unable to use them with the DDNS address I have created when off wifi. I can connect to it on wifi, but once I lose wifi, it stops allowing it. If I put the real IP address, I have 0 problems. I tested on a Note 3, and iPhone 5S, with no issues. Any ideas?
Also, I have tried multiple ROMS and still same issues.
Tested this on vzw firmware and it works fine. Seems to be an issue with int'l firmware based ROMs.
Any thoughts on how to fix? I love me some IC and dont want to give it up over something so minor.

I just upgraded my router to a wireless one. Firstly, it's connected via ethernet to a PC and it is happily getting internet access.
On my i5500 I get a strong wifi signal. Wifi Analyser shows the signal at max constantly. I can also connect with Gmote and it works just fine.
The problem is that I can't actually access the net at all from the phone.
So basically I know that my phone is talking to the router with no problem. It's just getting out onto the internet.
Does anyone know of a solution?
try logging into your router and change the broadcast channel to something else and test it again. it should be something like a/b/g mode... define a single channel and see if it works.
I had originally thought that was working. It did for the first few minute where I had connection but then it just dropped.
I have noticed that I have some very small bursts where I can connect.
Do you think that trying the different channels may be the solution?
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?
Still no solution. I went through every channel and every encryption method.
So far I've found that having the channel set on 'Auto' and then disabling encryption seems to give me internet connection through WIFI for at least the initial period but it eventually drops. But that's also not always.
I've also Googled it to death and found nothing. If you do find the solution please post it here and I'll do the same.
Maybe we can help each other.
make sure you entered the right password of wlan.
use a pc to connect the router and in the wlan you'll find the password.
Ok, just to clarify. My phone connects to the Router via WLAN. In fact I can use Gmote to control my PC. So the WLAN connection is great.
The problem is accessing the internet when using that connection.
I had similar problems with a router last year. I resolved the issues by flashing DD-WRT firmware. The manufacturer's firmware was junk.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I had that idea but they don't have firmware for my router yet. I have asked them if they intend to make one.
Any chance the firewall on your phone is blocking your browser from using the Wifi?
Sent from my DInc via XDA App
I have no firewall on my phone.
Ok I've tried some new stuff and they I've had the longest connectivity so far (which is about half an hour).
First I made sure my Wifi wasn't set to turn off when the screen goes to sleep. Second, according to a forum I read, Netgear recommends channel 7. If that channels doesn't work try 1,3,6,9,11,13.
I then disabled encryption.
Fortunately no one near me uses Wifi at all and I've got the kind of walls that stop the signal from getting outside.
Anyway. It's working so far but I'll monitor and report.
[edit] And I forgot. The router was checking for firmware but it wasn't actually finding so I downloaded it myself. Seems that also made a difference.
Ok. I can confirm after 2 and a half hours my internet connection is stable. I even left half way through and when I came back it connected perfectly.
So as a summary here's what I did:
1) Get latest firmware
2) Change channel to 7
3) Disable encryption
I will change encryption and see if it still works
I am running the latest version of the ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519138
I am having basic issues connecting at home; once connected I am fine but sometimes if I leave and come back I can't connect at all. Rebooting had no effect. It will just sit there and do nothing even if I try forcing it to connect or forgetting the network and resubmitting the needed information.
It is worth noting that while running stock 4.0.4 before I flashed the rom I had little to no troubles with wifi; it even handled EAP like a champ (I have yet to test it on EAP with this rom).
Any/all help is appreciated...thanks!
**EDIT** I believe the problem may have something to do with the fact that I am running the latest CM9 nightly on my HP Touchpad, as only one device seems to be able to connect at a time, although I know that they both can and have connected simultaneously. The device that doesn't connect seems to have issues obtaining an IP Address from the router.
Hello all. I've just purchased a 3G/WAN WI-FI router (TP-Link model TL-MR3420 - link to manufacturer's page). It has an USB port to connect a 3G/4G modem. I tried to connect my P920H (V28b stock ICS - XBSA large partitions) but the router doesn't recognise it. I tried to use an older 3G phone (Sony Ericsson W980) and it works like a charm. In both cases I configured the phones to USB tether with their own configuration options.
Anyone managed to make this work? I believe the router lacks a driver, but I've found no driver for any phone on the manufacturer's page, although I works with the Walkman phone.
Edit: I forgot to mention that all tethering features on my phone works fine. I can turn on my hotspot and I can plug it to a PC's USB port and act like a modem. I just can't do it with my router.
Why I want to do this: Most of you who have nice broadband access may be wondering why I want to use my phone to provide Internet access to my router. Here's why: In the region I live, broadband access is a joke. A miserable 1Mbps insufficcient to watch even the lamest youtube video. But it has no limitations, so it is good for TV upgrades and other connected devices to do their maintenance.
On the other hand, my phone provider has a wonderful coverage around my house, sustaining an average of 3Mbps, reaching 10Mbps late at night. So, when I want a quicker net, like to watch Internet movies or download large files, I used to turn off my router and turn on the phone's hotspot. But even setting its SSID and password identical to the ones on the router, it takes some tweaking on the devices for them to reconnect. It was a nuisance.
With this 3G router, all I would have to do is connect the phone to it and it would switch from WAN to 3G. All I need is a driver that would make it recognize the phone and use it as a modem.
I messed with wifi tethering a bit a while back. Couldn't get it to work. My other phone sees it as a wifi point but won't connect. Something to do with LG not liking tethering I heard. I saw this mod that fixes tethering for some devices but never tried it ( I don't really need tethering). I am curious if it fixes it:

Hello drastic00!
Thank you for your suggestion. I understand that the mod you suggested can have nice effects on slow or even broken tethering.
The problem is that I haven't made myself clear on the first post. I can see it now and I'll edit it right away. The tethering feature on my phone works fine, both WI-FI and USB tethering works. What I need is a USB tethering that makes my router "think" that my phone is actually a 3G USB modem. When I use this feature on a PC, I have to install the drivers. The bad news is that I can't install these drivers on the router.
Okay. I figured if wifi tether isn't working then usb isn't either. So what firmware do you have on which it is working?
There was a small discussion on a thread a month or so ago; it wasn't working for the 4 or so people who posted then...I think we were all on ICS or higher, but not positive. That's when I tried to see if I could get wifi tether to work. I didn't try any usb tethering.
So I guess I am not understanding the advantage of plugging direct to the router. Why not plug the phone to pc (signal in) and the router to pc (signal out)? Because it would be easier to switch from the signal you normally use? This is a new one on me... I have no idea if an ethernet switch would be of use...2 signals in for the router to broadcast and choose which wifi signal on the client end (not sure if your router could do that, just grasping at straws, since I haven't tried anything like this).
It's weird other phones work though, so I am still curious if Crossbreeder mod would do anything. It seems the other phones have a piece of software the O3D does not. Unless the router has drivers installed for those devices by default, which I doubt; you didn't install anything for those to work, they worked out-of-the-box, so to speak, right?
Exactly. Both WIFI and USB tether always worked out of the box for me, with several ROMs, either stock and modded ROMs. Eventualy some modded ROMs did break tether, but usually broke many other things as well Probably too undervolt and/or too overclock among other things I don´t understand.
I remember that discussion about not working tether, but didn´t get involved. It never happened to me. I believe it is more a hardware issue. If it happened to me, the first thing I would do is install the original stock Froyo to be sure if tether didn´t work with the most original firmware.
As to why I want to put my O3D as the Internet provider for my network: I have several devices connected: 3 PCs, 2 Androids, 1 TV and 1 Blu-ray player. The last two are not too easy to make connect to a different WIFI net, even if they have the same SSID and passwords. I used to turn off the router and then turning on the phone´s hotspot. The problem is that almost always several of these devices didn´t realise the switch and kept trying to connect to the unavailable router. The same thing happend when switching from the phone to the router.
Also, I don´t want to buy a 3G modem, because the speed advantage (and low fees) are "connected" to my voice plan. The SIM card is my primary phone number So, I need it to be able to make and receive calls. If I purchase a new SIM card, I would have to cope with two bills. Again, no more advantages.
Breaking news: I just noticed that the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone I am using as a modem only gets 1Mbps download, exactly the speed my provider guarantees. My P920H can get more than 10 Mbps on times, but usually between 3 and 5 Mbps. I believe that V28b stock ICS somehow unlocks some sort of ISP speed limit. Now, more than ever I want to use my phone as a modem on my router.
Hello everyone. I have been having a wifi issue lately and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I can connect to my home wifi and surf the internet, use Facebook and watch Youtube and use some other apps. Lately however, I am not able to use apps like Pandora, Slacker, 93.9 The Beat, POF, OkCupid and MeetMe. I'm sure there are others as well that I haven't tried yet since this issue has started. I can also connect to xfinity wifi (I'm not sure who's that is) and all of the apps work fine. I am on the stock ROM, S-Off and unlocked running Android 5.0.1 If any one could help, it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Do you use a proxy at home? I know some apps don't work well with proxys...
Change anything recently on your home router?
Did you say everything works FINE on xfiniti wifi?
Xfiniti Wifi is a major cable operators wifi. You'd need to have access to their services to use their wifi.

Hello bigblueshock. I have not made any changes to my phone/router/modem. I have shut them all completely down and restarted them and that did not help. And all of the devices are up to date. Yes everything works fine when I connect to Xfinity wifi. I have ComCast/Xfinity cable and internet. I'm not sure if it's my Xfinity wifi I'm connecting to though. I have signed in on a prior occasion and I was connected, so maybe. But when I try to connect to my wifi (the one that I know is mine) that is when I have my issues. It was working fine up until recently. I am not using any proxy.

If you're connecting to a different WiFi (such as XFINITI) with no problem. I'd say there's a high chance somethings going on your end... whether it be router/modem related.
One way to test is to connect another android device to YOUR network, and see what happens... Possibly even an Apple device. Any friends or family have android devices?
If the router is one comcast provided.. maybe they pushed an update to it which messed up something.

I have an old Samsung Omnia II that is running on Windows 6.5. When I connect to my home wifi, Slacker Radio works fine and so does everything else on the phone. It connects directly to my Netgear wifi it does also show xfinity wifi as available as well. But it doesn't have the app like my much newer HTC One M8 has. My M8 does show my Netgear home wifi and that is the one I'm having issues with. It seems like it's my M8 that is having the troubles.

If you are at your own home you shouldn't be on the xfinity Wi-Fi side. You should be on your private network.
Alright so I've run into an issue here. I just got a net ISP last night and so hooked up my own modem and router (I had TDS before). I set everything to run the way I used to at my previous home, WPA2 Personal, Wireless N Only, 20 or 40hz auto setting, auto DHCP, etc. Everything is connecting and working just fine except for my wife's LG G4.
The phone is only a couple of months old. My 1.5 year old LG G3 (running Cyanogenmod) connects to the wireless n only network with no issues. However her phone simply refuses to connect. It sees the network fine but just won't ever attempt to connect to it. It just 'saves' the network info.
I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting the phone, powering off the phone, pulling the battery, disabling network security, changing the channel from 20/40 to just 20hz, etc. Nothing I do will make this G4 connect to the wireless n only network. The only way I can get it to connect is to drop the wireless signal down from n-only to "mixed". Once it's set to "mixed", the G4 connects instantly.
Anyone else run into this issue? I know that the phone itself is supposedly rated for 802.11ac, along with 802.11n, g, etc. but it seems like there must be some sort of software config preventing it from connecting to n only since my G3 has no issues, but is running a custom rom.
Thoughts or ideas? I'd really like to get n only working as I'll be upgrading my modem pretty soon and will be pulling 110mbps down from my ISP.
Thanks!
