WiFi and FritzBox - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
is there a fix for the wireless connection bug between the opo and a fritzbox?
The problem:
The opo is not able to connect to the wlan on the fritzbox with DHCP enabled more than one times.
It is a known problem, there are a lots thread out.
The point is, that the fritzbox is recongnize the opo on every connect as a new device.
When the option "always same ip to the device" is enabled the opo canĀ“t connect anymore.
Some people slove it with unchecking this same ip feature. So they will get a new ip adress on every connect.
I can not use this because i need to have the same ip all the time.
Rebooting the phone (or turning on/off flight mode) helps and you are able to connect once more.
I also tried to assign a manual ip to my phone (not using DHCP). But it not working stable. Sometimes it still crash.
Anyway i was woundering that there are no threads about that problem? Am i the only one?
Anyone knows how to fix this?

ive read about that problem but myself never faced it. (settings like you mentioned). i got the keep ip feature active + dhcp
Fritzboxes I've been connected to:
3390 (at home constantly)
7490
7270
latest firmware.

I have the Fritzbox 6490 and no problems... maybe you could try to reset the router?

Raphael: Wifi can not connect to any encrypt connection, any help?

My TouchPro can connect normally to unsecured wifi networks, but with WPA encrypted ones, it can only connect for the first time, after that it can not.
At home I have a wireless router/ADSL modem (Zoom X6) that is connected to my PC by cable, all my phones and laptops connect to internet via wifi. While other phones (1G iPhone) and laptops always connect successfully, the TP only connected once and then cannot or unable connect to the WPA security-enabled wireless network (although it's able to scan and detect the availability of the Wifi network). I tried to reset the router settings, even update router firmware, but no luck, it's still unable connect. I also tried with my office secured wifi network and I had the same problem.
Yesterday, I had to hardreset my TP and tried to connect once again, but problem was repeated, connected only once and after that, unable. Note that my previous PPC (TMobile Ameo WM5) didn't have any problem with the same wifi router and the same wifi settings (as follow).
My TP wifi settings:
Network Name: MyNetwork
Connects To: The Internet
Uncheck "This is a hidden network"
Next step:
Authentification: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Greyed Out: The key is automatically provided
Network Key:************** (my pass)
Greyed Out: Key Index: 1
Next,
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" but greyed (I can't change this)
Anybody know the solution for this issue?
Thanks and very appreciated for any help.
i experienced similar problems with my old p4350 but not yet with the TP...
no solution, sorry. but im quite unhappy that this issue still exists...
Any suggestion, pls.
yeah.. quite sucky.. I though the WiFi 'broke'.. but i was able to connect to a WEP site.. I think its something to do with WPA.
I never had this problem with my Diamond. The firmware on Diamond isso much more stable compared to Touch Pro..
I set everything to WEP and my key is open instead of shared, and now it works fine.
I had issues at my dad's, who has no encryption, and also there, when I set the key to open io shared, I got connection. (even though there is no key
anyway, it looks like that is the bug (at least in my device)
I have exactly same settings and same problem... but I want to use this encrypted connection since in future I will have to connect also in other places where I need it for sure.
Any help here?
I have similar promblem with my Hermes before.
My wireless router is running "Turbo-G" mode, my Hermes can't connect it with Turbo-G mode On.
After I change the wirless mode from Turbo-G to "g/b", my Hermes can connect it without any problem.
I tryed that and does not work...
strange is that is was working in the past and on router I did no changes but on TP I installed just some apps which should not affect this...
Only what could affect is Advanced config which I installed...
So where else can be problem?
How can I troubleshoot this?
Signal kvality is good but still keeps dropping and does not obtain IP from router.
mine works fine...not that that helps you in any way
I found the solution: set router to unsecured and use MAC filter. But that is only a tip, because my TP still can not connect with any other secured wifi.
I had same problem and looks like I found the bug in Advanced Config 3.2
There is in Network -> WPA auth... was enabled and I put Disabled (now I can use WPA auth anyway... before it just could not connect)
And next Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0 (when I changed to other number than I got problem that I could not even see any AP as I could see before and only network card settings was shown)
Try to play with other settings and you will see... I had also errors with device.exe after reboot... but now it all works as it should.
Just post here if it helps you also so we can notify creator of Advanced Config...

You are merely restricting people from connecting to your router.. without encryption, you are sending unsecure packets all over..
Have you tried using AES encryption on your device instead of TKIP? I only mention this because TKIP is the only one I haven't tried. All other methods of connectivity work fine for me with the TP.
I tried the PT using unsecured routers, WEP and WPA and all of them worked fine with stable connectivity.
The routers I have tried (without any problems) so far are:
1. Linksys WRT-54G running Tomato firmware
2. Linksys WRT-54G running DD-WRT firmware
3. D-Link DIR-655 running latest firmware
I tired open, WEP and WPA1+2 on all of the above routers and the TP responded with zero issues...
I am not using a custom ROM.
I hope this helps in some miniscule way.
Good luck.

I was about to say the same thing...
Not having any issues with my girlfriends WPA secured router. It's on WPA2-PSK and AES encryption. Enter key first time (case sensitive!!), and of you go... Connecting without trouble ever since
hmm..Funny mine still can't connect to my home WPA2, AES or TKIP.. I'm on the Buffalo Tomato firmware..
WIFI not connecting
This solution worked for me!! Excellent. This was a right pain!

I've got the sollution, everybody on this forum probably has advance config installed, the program sets some default value's of it's own, set the WPA authentication under network in the advance config program to disabled and it will work again. Anyways, that worked for me
I've removed WiFi settings and then I edited settings again. It works now
Raphael Wifi problems
I bought this Fuze to replace my trusty Dash since I broke the antenna on my Dash. I'm running NRG Magic, but have tried other NATF and other ROMs as well, I cannot get this phone to connect to my wifi network I'm using WPA2-PSK but have disabled security for testing. My Dash and my laptop connect immediately with no problems. If I cannot get wifi going on this Fuze I'm afraid I'll have to put it on Ebay and try the Iphone, which people seem to love.
The Fuze did connect once, and it was WPA2-PSK at the time, I don't remember what ROM I was using at the time probably an NRG flavor, but Ihave had _no_ luck since.
Should I flash to 'official' ROM? Honestly I'm getting tired of playing with this thing I don't have the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
I may have found something
Check your time zone/daylight savings settings on your router. Phone and router time must be in sync.

VOX not connecting to router

My VOX has stopped communicating to my router. This appears to have happened since I accidently deleted profile but that could be co-incidence..
It sees my network...
Settings VOX
Net type INTERNET
Auth WPA 2
AES
USE IEEE 802.1x YES
AEP type: Smart Card or certificate
Settings WAG200G nothing really relevent here except to say AES as above.
My phone seems to connect WITHOUT encryption but when I add encryption (with real simple password) this is where the phone can't connect for some reason... My laptop is still connected to the router without any problems there is no MAC filter or anything like that.
Anyone please help!
BTW tried hard reset not helped.
i have the exactly same problem. i tried other kinds of config on my router but nothing worked.without encripton or password it connects...
Not connecting to WIFI
Seems more people have this problem?
WPA2 does seem to be a problem. Personally I also use fixed IP, but never got my phone connected to my home network.
@work I use WEP and DHCP, no problem connecting.
@home I use, as mentioned, WPA2, AES, Fixed IP, router.
If anybody got a simple answer...?
btw, I got this problem after using other roms(for almost a year now). Basic HTC rom (WM 6.0 :-( ) seems to work fine.
Half connected in fact
Hi, I'm also getting a wifi problem after installing the RUU_Vox_HTC_FRA_1.34.406.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship ROM (and thus resetting everything in the profile), but I wonder if it's really the same thing.
My phone connects to the wifi, gets an IP (both the phone and the router show the same IP attributed), but PIE and Outlook Pocket can not use the network. It's just like they couldn't see the network. But they don't use Edge either to connect, so they probably somehow try to send data to the network,but they fail.
Oh, and WEP encryption changes nothing. And I can't test with fully removing the encryption, as I use an internet box, not a standard router.
What I don't get is that I was browsing just fine on this ROM and the same config in my router I wish someone with more knowledge would spare a minute to help us out here or at least point us in the right direction
Solved
I upgraded the firmware on my router... :d thx

[Q] Wifi on my Sensation works fine everywhere except im home!

While everywhere I go I can get a wifi internet connection, when I try at home I connect to wifi but I cannot get any data connection! My router is fine because all my friends use it to connect on the net with their phones.
Any ideas anybody?
A possibility
There are some cases where the router is not compatible wit Android devices and allows them to connect properly onto the wifi network, but not getting the proper IP, subnet and so on. Have you tried to manually enter these details into the phone and try out if there will be any Internet access afterwards or not.
In some other cases, maybe the DHCP pool is empty so it can not provide you with an IP, where manually entering the IP details should again help. But I think this is very rare case. About the first case though, I met some issues with the routers and the Android devices.
Hope this will solve the prob..
Have a lovely day!
Did you try rebooting your router? This happend to me sometimes too, my laptop can connect just fine but not my phone & a router reset always fixes it.
I have tried to manually enter the IP address, subnet and so on into the phone but still I cannot get an internet connection! I have also rebooted my linksys rooter but still nothing!
Log into your router and change the output channel. Sometimes if the router is putting out on a high channel say 13 for example this can cause some devices to not be able to communicate with it. So try changing it to a low number say 3. This should solve the problem.

This is more than likely because your router is set up to automatically switch to the channel that is the least congested, again if this is a high channel this can cause problems for some devices. What you are doing when you turn it off and on again is resetting the channel. I recommend you also manually select the channel by logging into you router and changing the settings.
I changed manually the router number several times but still no connection!
This issue is due to WIFI encryption. Try WEP or WPA encryption. I was facing the same issue. When i changed the encryption to WPA I am able to access the net.

Yes, it might be encryption, might be the channel selection as well as previously stated.
The thing with the channels is not only if they are on higher or lower, but they are just a little hops on the frequency side so for example if some other device is working on the same or close to yours channel, it might interfere and give you disconnections from the wifi, slower speed, no connection at all etc. etc.. So in some case the channel selection (changing the wifi channel) may do the trick. Unfortunately in your case as I can understand this is not true.
About the encryption, there is also one more thing as a security and that is not allowing the devices automatically, but with it's MAC addresses.
I would recommend just for testing purposes to try and disable all the security and check out the connection that way.
What sort of IP details did you entered on the phone? I mean - I was thinking of entering an IP different from the pool, subnet usually 255.255.255.0 (depends) and the Default Gateway to be the router's IP. Then for the DNS if you can try with the OpenDNS and one from Google.
And if you would like to share some info if there are any other devices connecting with the wifi at the premises and how they are working.
Hopefully you will resolve the issue, soon!
Have a lovely day!

having same issues ever since I flashed latest insertcoin ROM
I tried the 2.3.5 ROM and was having issues connecting to wifi, so I went to the 2.3.4 SSE, but wifi issues did not clear up. It hangs on obtaining IP.
This happens for all settings, static and dynamic, router reset did not help, modifying channels did nothing, neither did changing encryption settings. The wifi connection works for every other device in our home, including a stock Sensation.
Thanks in advance for any help. Since I'm a noob on forums I can't post to the dev section about this.

Hi, since the stock sensation is working properly, why don't you flash the relevant stock rom and see if that works, seems like all else failed

[Q] Wifi not working with LG P500

Hey guys, I have an LG p500 and I use custom roms. Currently using CM 6.5.7 (2.3.5) and randomly I got this. It says my wireless is disabled. I am unable to include a photo as I am new to the forums. But basically it shows my wireless name and "disabled, secured by blah blah". I've tried forgetting the network, still same problem. Reflashed and wiped cache and dalvik.
I am unable to connect to my wireless, it just says disabled. This randomly happened, and wifi was working fine for 6 months, It worked fine on 6.5.7 but just randomly said that. I can connect all other wireless devices to the router, so whats the problem

'Forget' all the networks until you no longer have 'Not in range' networks. Maybe reboot your phone and try connecting again. It should work.
Nope, didn't do it.
Still says the same thing.
I experienced a similar problem with my home network (with the same rom) and solved by introducing manually the IP adress, gateway, netmask & the DNS. (got them easily by looking at the properties of my wireless network from a laptop and choosing an IP address within the range supported by my router). Now my phone is always connected using this configuration, but it only works optimally with the network for which settings are valid.
Might be a ROM bug. someone alerted to mik about this bug to fix it?
I have the same problem too. My WiFi randomly stopped working and when I turn the WiFi on it says "connecting" and then "disconnected". When I try to scan for more it doesn't do anything. I am also using the Cyanogen Mod as well.
The problem is probably that usb debugging is turned on. Try turning it off.
explain me pls

[Q] Wifi won't connect to anything

Wifi will not connect to multiple routers. It was working, then stopped yesterday. On the wireless network screen, it shows my network SSID and when i click on connect, wifi shows "connecting" and will sit there for hours doing nothing.
Removed all security from router and it still will not connect.
Rooted and flashed multiple 3.1 and 3.2 roms, will not connect.
Reset router multiple times.
Unrooted and went back to stock and still have same problem.
Tried setting static IP and DHCP, but neither work.
Tried airplane mode on, wifi off, airplane off, wifi on and that didn't work.
What makes this problem ever more weird is when I go to see the wifi MAC address, it shows an address of F5:3F:FE:03:00:00 I'm no computer genius, but I'm pretty certain that isn't even a correct MAC address and I definitely know it's not one registered to ASUS.
Anybody have any thoughts or ideas?
Just to add some more information:
If I setup the TF as a hotspot, I'm able to connect to it from both my phone and laptop. But still not able to connect to anything from the TF itself.
No help as far as why you cannot connect, but that looks like an OK MAC to me.

That's odd, because if I try to add that MAC in my router filter list, the router comes back and says it's not a valid address. Oh well.
I know it's not a hardware issue because I can connect my laptop to TF when TF is setup as a hotspot, but not the other way around.
