So I flashed a Boost Mobile Moto G a few months ago to use on Selectel. All was going well, until a day or so ago when all of a sudden my wi-fi stopped working.
At home, I (sometimes) see the connection listed under Settings, but if I click it I never connect. Sometimes even if I'm sitting right next to the wireless router (as I am right now), it is listed as "not in range". Meanwhile all other devices in the home work fine.
At work, we have a wireless network that is open but requires a browser sign in (like you see with free hotel wi-fi). It will show up either as "Not in Range" or "Saved", but if I try to connect to it, it just does nothing. Rarely I was able to get the "Sign into wi-fi" alert, but when I click that and go to the browser, I'm never able to connect.
I have tried the obvious steps of disabling and enabling the wi-fi / powering on and off, etc. I reset my home wireless router a few times as well though I don't think it's that since it is happening in other locations as well
Any thoughts?

So I've installed WmWifiRouter, and I'm really happy with it as an alternative to Bluetooth DUN/PAN, however, I've run into the following issue:
Once I have WMWifiRouter installed and configured, I am no longer able to use my phone to connect to my home wireless AP. Even when WMWifiRouter is closed, it attempts to connect to the Ad-hoc network that it creates, and will not allow me to connect to my home wireless network. I tried removing the wifi settings for WMWifiRouter, only to find that it I do that, I have to reinstall the program to use it again.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I might work around this issue? I know it's a beta, so there might be something there, but if anyone can help, or if anyone has gotten things to work with a similar setup, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Is the website even up anymore? I went to it and it didn't even exist. Are they coming out with any new releases. I was also wondering if it would let us set out own WEP key
Absolutely, I JUST downloaded it yesterday...go wo www.wmwifirouter.com . And yes, it does allow the use of your own WEP key in the latest release. Can you comment on the issue I'm having?
Alternately, is there anyone who is using WMWifiRouter on their Kaiser who isn't having this problem? If so, how does yours work? What are your settings? Thanks
I don't know if this will help, but here's what I'm referring to:
It just constantly stays on connecting, and if I try to connect to another network, I get the error:
"Warning. Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider and try again."
I just tried it on my Kaiser and was able to share the connection with a Dell laptop and Fujitsu tablet simultaneously. Speedtest.net showed speeds like 1120k down and 330k up. I set security WEP and could connect, but could not surf sites with I.E. but with settings changed to OPEN everything worked fine.
I too found that after I shut this down that my "normal" home wireless LAN connection would no longer connect. In fact the WiFi radio turned itself off when I turned it on and expected it to auto-connect as it did before. When I went into wifi setup on the Kaiser I found that my home connection was gone! I had to add back my home connection, re-config it's WEP settings and was then able to connect once again.
I also wonder what the "normal" behavior is supposed to be for this application when it's started. Should one be able to simply start WiFiRouter and it powers up the WiFi radio, ICS, and makes the phone ready for connections? I found that it would Not power up the radio on mine even though it seemed to claim that it was doing this.
I then tried launching WiFiRouter again and sure enough, it screws up my home access point connection profile every time by blowing away the settings and password.
I reported this on the WiFiRouter website.
Thanks so much for the reply. I just tried following the same procedure, and it worked out for me too. So weird that I actually had to delete my home wifi settings. It does work properly now though, and on my device, using DCS 1.7, it doesn't shut off my wifi when i disconnect/close the program. Thanks again for the help!
Well...sadly, my problem has cropped back up. Basically, the exact same thing is happening, but the fix that worked before is no longer working. I did get in touch with the makers, and they are aware of the problem and looking for a solution. If anyone else can help, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll try to post again if/when I get a fix. Thanks
You need to goto Wifi connections & deselect the WMWIFI AP. Then click & hold on your home AP & select connect. You may also have to turn of the DHCP in WMWIFI befor doing this, otherwise your other connections will try using it.
OK here's what I just sent to Jorrit at WiFiRouter when he asked for me to try a few things;
TEST-1 Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi "Networks to access" was set to "all available".
1-Ran WifiRouter (WFR), my wifi radio does not power up, WFR showing "Waiting for ICS and WLAN".
2-I manually powered up radio (using AnyButton Plus mapped to key).
3-WFR then connected, BUT it connected to my Home LAN. WFR's settings were set to "Force PC to PC Connection" but it connected to my AP anyway?
4-Disconnected WFR, waited a few seconds, pressed re-connect, it now properly "connected to WFR".
5-Pressed Disconnect, Pressed Quit.
6-Checked "network to access" settings, they were still set to "All available".
7-Checked wireless networks, Home LAN was still there and all settings were intact, WFR was there as well.
8-Manually powered On WiFi, instead of auto connecting to my home LAN, the radio powered itself off in about 1-2 seconds.
8-I manually powered WiFi On for the 2nd time, now I get "Cannot connect".
9-Checked wireless networks, WFR is at top of list with "Connecting" showing, Home LAN is below it, and checking it shows all settings gone.
10-I manually re-entered settings (Checked "this is a hidden network", and entered my WPA-PSK TKIP Key) and tapped "Connect". Then a dialog box opened asking for the network key again. I cancelled and the Home Lan entry disappeared from the Kaiser's network list.
11-With WiFi radio Off, I again created the home lan connection and set "networks to access" to AP's Only, Powered on the radio and it connected OK.
TEST 2 - With "all available" set, could it be the WFR is at the top of the list, and it "beats out" the normal home lan connection? Lets try AP's Only setting;
1-Left "networks to access" to AP's only and started WFR. It started normally (well, with the exception that I had to manually power up wifi) and when I checked wifi settings, "networks to access" had changed to "computer to computer" by WRF.
2-I disconnected WFR and Quit the program, it powered Off the WiFi radio, checked settings and it had switched back to "only access points", home lan was there, settings intact.
3-Powered up wifi radio expecting auto connect to home lan, No, wifi shut-off immediately again.
4-Powered up a 2nd time without touching anything, this time it connected to the home lan without issue.
So I'd say there are a couple of issues,
A-Why does the WiFi Radio shut down on the 1st attempt after quitting WFR?
B-Using "All available Networks" causes problems if WFR is at the top of the list?
C-I hate the fact that I'm the "only one who's TyTN II doesn't Power up the WiFi Radio when WFR starts"
They are working on it...
We think we have isolated the problem (once again the problem is WZC), patch should be forthcoming soon.

Wow, I hadn't expected a reply directly from you. Thanks very much. I appreciate your attention on this issue. If you have the time and might post when the patch is available, that would be great, otherwise, I'll be checking the the download site. Thanks again.

Patch will be available when it's done, can't say any more than that. We know what the problem is, but it will not be fixed easily, and the workaround is fairly complex, so it's hard to give a timeframe.
Oh, I wasn't asked for a release date, I was just hoping that you might post when it is released, whenever that may be. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this, and totally understand that it's not a simple fix. Thanks again.
I have a different problem. I used this program and now I cannot use internet share using my tilts normal data. Very confused and now haven't had internet at home for over a week now. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see how that could be annoying. Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1801366&postcount=158. Ignore the content, just download the file, unzip it, run the EXE on your phone. It will create two files, post those here, and maybe I can find out what the issue is.
Just bought my phone yesterday.
First problem is that I keep getting a notification in the top left saying 'unable to detect your time/date settings'. I have to press it and go to Perth +8.
Why was it never doing that with my previous htc??
Second problem just appeared today, I have connected to my home wifi, it SAYS connected and shows FULL connectivity, BUT on the top it has NO bars highlighted and the wifi doesn't work???
It worked fine during the day today and yesterday but now it's playing up?!?
Please help!
I solved the first problem of the time notification by unchecking ' Automatic Use network provided values'.
Second problem still annoying me though!
Maybe a different channel works for you. Search in the market for Wifi Analyser and check which channel gives the best result.
Thanks for the response,
I have already checked and it is on the best channel. It's not an issue with channels, the router is 5 mtrs from my mobile. Yesterday and this morning it was absolutely fine. And it even shows FULL bars on the wireless setting, but just at the top it shows none and doesn't load anything!
Have you tried turning off and on the wifi? That helped me once. Or rebooting the router?
yes tried both, still no good?!?!
Does the router regonize the phone? Have you tried connecting without security?
Started with 2.3.6, OTA to ICS failed repeatedly, finally fxz'd to 2.3.5, then OTA to 2.3.6 then to ICS per jimbridgman's instructions. Everything worked perfectly except for the WiFi, which under "WI-FI NETWORKS" now constantly flashes between "Connecting..." and "Saved, secured with WPA2". But there is no connection and the signal shows very low (which it's not). If I forget the connection the network shows up very strong. This connection had been working flawlessly with both the phone and my laptop since April.
Under "Wi-Fi Settings" , if I hold down on the network and go to "Modify Network" and under "Show advanced options", the "IP settings" were set to DHCP which should have worked, but if I change it from DHCP to Static, an incorrect IP comes up (192.168.1.128, should be 192.168.0.128) AND the "Save" button goes dark! I can edit the address and gateway and all the other settings but it won't save them.
I have rebooted the phone and the wifi router several times and changed some of the settings on the router. I also tried turning off all 3 devices, started the router, then the phone, then the laptop, all to no avail. Reverted the settings on my router. Never had a connection problem on the laptop through all of this.
Rooted the phone also per jimbridgman’s instructions. Installed Titanium Backup. Uninstalled the ATT Smart wifi app (I KNOW, SHOULD HAVE FROZE IT INSTEAD) with no change. Reinstalled the app from the Play Store. No change. Froze Smart Actions from Titanium Backup, that did seem to change to flash pattern on the wifi network, and I can now set it to “AUTO” from DHCP, which I wasn’t able to do before, but otherwise there is no real change. I did reboot after each change.
I sure hope someone can help a NOOB with this… I need the wifi.
Thanks in advance,,
Wireless N protocol
After fiddling with this most of the day I looked at the connection attempts from the router interface: Apparently the Atrix 2 is NOT using wireless N anymore, and the rest of my network is.
Anyone know how to set the wireless protocol in the Atrix 2?
Connected in G mode
Changed the router to mixed mode and the A2 connected, checked the client list on the router and it connected in wireless G mode. Ugh. I'd really like to keep this thing in the N mode.
Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? There's gotta be a way to change it to N mode, especially since it was using that mode exclusively before ICS.
Thanks,
I'm using my phone on ATT, in an area with pretty good LTE coverage. My bootloader is unlocked, and phone is rooted. Stock rom. I have one wireless network saved, which is my home network. I manually set this up when I got my Nexus 5, I did not import wifi settings from a backup. For the first few weeks, everything was fine. This is a relatively new problem I've noticed, maybe the past week or so.
My daily routine generally goes, leave for work in the morning, come home in the afternoon. I'll start my day connected to my home wifi. When I leave, most of the time it will connect to LTE. Maybe only 10 - 15% of the time, it will connect to HSPA, and just show the "H" icon, not LTE. If I'm stopped at a stop light, I can toggle airplane mode, and it will automatically connect to LTE, even though I'm in the same physical location and haven't moved. Along the way to work, which is about a 5 mile drive, I can notice it searching for wifi networks, picking them up all along the way. I can check the available wifi list, and see it updating. I get to work, and it will pick up the wifi networks there, which I do not connect to. It stays on LTE all day.
8 hours later when I leave work, wifi is no longer scanning for networks. Even if I go into my wifi options, and manually choose "Scan", it won't update the list. I'll go 5 miles home, and it'll still show the same work wifi networks with nearly full strength, despite being miles away. Hit "scan" again, and nothing. Doesn't refresh the list. If I try to connect to one of the far out of range work ones, it'll just switch to "saved". Toggle airplane mode, and it'll start scanning networks again, and automatically connect to my actual saved home network.
I've toggled all the settings in the advanced wifi options. I've tried the FXR WiFi Fix and Rescue app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer), which deletes all my saved wifi settings and re-added it, still the same issue.

So just last night at around 5AM my Galaxy S7 was working perfectly in terms of WiFi (don't ask why I was up at 5AM lol). But I fell asleep and I wake up at around 3PM and it won't find any networks at all. If I go into the WiFi settings and turn WiFi on, the page where it's supposed to list nearby WiFi connections is blank. All it says is "Scanning for WiFi networks..." but nothing pops up. This isn't my home connection because there are TONS of nearby WiFi connections, and I know because I've seen them on the list before, And my laptop is working fine so it's only my S7 that's acting weird. I restarted it multiple times to check it that was the problem but it didn't fix it. Can anyone help?
Is the S7 Stock? What ROM is it running? did you have auto updates enabled? have you wiped and reset it yet?
same problem here

I did, it still doesn't work. I contacted Samsung support and they said it may be a physical problem. I did drop my phone and it cracked the screen, but I don't really see how it could be that. But the problem did start a day after I dropped my phone, so maybe.

Sounds very possible that dropping your phone from enough height to crack the screen could also damage internal hardware
Could be something as simple as a cable coming loose, but could also be physically damaged
I have the same problem, my wifi also cant find available networks, but when i try to connect it via WPS it connect and then it also show all available networks as well, but when the light goes or wifi disconnect due to some reason it once again cant find it and i have to connect it via WPS , also it cand find my office wifi
