Yes it is password protected but I hav entered the right password, with the same password I can connect to the wifi with other devices but with android devices I am having a problem

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?

Wireless tether password issue?

Hey guys when I use wireless tether whenever I set encryption and a password it won't show that the connection is secure when I try to connect. Anyone can connect to it, and it says "unsecured". I really don't like how other people can connect to my connection is there a fix for this?
I have the same issue, the encryption and password settings in the app seem to have no effect and anyone can connect. I have v1.6 running Fresh 1.1 rom.
What seems to work (prob not too secure though) is the access control function in the app, If you enable it and tether your desired PC(s) and check them off in the access control list, when a unrecognized PC connects you get a warning icon in the notification bar.
When I tested it the PC not checked in the access control list could not connect to the internet, even though it had a wireless connection to the phone. So it seems this may help prevent someone else from thethering to your phone.
Same issue here, never found a fix. Just been using Access Control...
You really just need to turn AC on. This way you have to give connections permission to connect. Its a known issue that the password protection is broken. - really kinda useless on an Ad-Hoc anyways, nativly not the most secure thing made.
Don't ask too much from the devs of that app, they have 5+ phones to support all with different issues/methods/kernels. I think its an excelent App for free.
I used Wireless Tether once before and it worked flawlessly. I then changed the SSID and passphrase and now it shows that i'm connected on my laptop, but it won't connect to the internet it takes forever to stop tething and stays running on the backround, so I deleted it. Where do find it to try and redownload it?

Make sure you download the 1.60 version
Go with v1.70-pre2, it resolves the overheating issue:

Nice! I was reluctant to try it, due to it saying it was for Donut.

I redownloaded and it still won't recognize my laptop, could it be that I am using a linksys card and don't have internal wireless? Is there a way to manually enter in a computer into the access control?

Could you check advanced settings on WiFi and see if it says anything in IP Address box, also are you on stock ROM?
You could also log into the router and see if it displays the connection etc.
Is your mobile rooted?
And have you any MAC-Filters on your router where you have to add the MAC Address of the phone?

Try connecting with some other device to see if it's the tabs fault or not. If router is okay reflash the rom with a data wipe.

Sounds like a router issue. Reset the router by inserting a pin in the reset hole at the back of the router and hold for 5 secs.

what happen if i restarted the router? will it restarted the whole configuration on my router too? like SSID and encryption?
but my sony C1905 still can detect that router
Yup.. Settings get reset. I think you should try and change the encryption password type to wpa from wep. Sometimes that stops devices from being detected.

[Completed] Latest Android phones not connecting to WiFi router

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.
