My Nexus 5 (6.0.1) will not connect nor see the SSID of a specific WiFi router. This just started about 20 hours ago, and would connect just fine prior.
Router/Modem is TP-Link TD-W8961N
Turned WiFi off/on multiple times, both phone and router
Rebooted both phone and router
My computer and iPad see and connect just fine
The phone sees and can connect to other SSIDs
Tried manually adding the SSID and password
Connected (via computer) to the router settings page... pretty sure there is no MAC filtering -- It's in Turkish, can't find where to change to English.
Please help!
Did you try changing the router ssid to something else? Is the ssid being broadcast?

SSID was being broadcast, did not try changing the SSID.
However, when I woke up this morning, all was well. Not sure why it went off line, nor why it came back up. Thanks for the suggestion, Ill keep it in mind if it happens again.

Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?
have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.
Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.
I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.
I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.
I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.
I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...
My hp touchpad is not connecting to my home wifi network, I have tried very many places and my touchpad connects to wifi but at my own home wifi it simply does want to connect to wifi. I did a hard reset and nothing works any ideas?
What kind of router? How is your network set up? Open, WEP, WPA or Enterprise?

it is a wep, netgear router
Make sure your router has the latest firmware available, then power cycle it and try connecting with the TP again.
Might need to change it to WPA for it to work.
Coincidentally, mine wont connect to my netgear router for wireless N - sees it, but won't connect to it regardless of settings, connects instantly using G.....

I will try this also, thanks for the advice
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.
Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on my Samsung Galaxy S2 after I changed some settings on my home router. The wifi works anywhere else, just not at home.
What I changed was the router ip and wireless channel. Since then I have cleared all the wireless and browser settings in the phone and reverted back to the old settings on the router. Still doesn't work.
I've also tried having static IP. It doesn't work as well. It's only the internet. It connects to the router fine and I haven't had any problems with other gadgets and computers connecting.
Your tried turning on airplane mode for a few then reboot?
Your router doesn't have a sync button does it?

One thing you can do is delete the connection to your router on your phone, and connect again with new password from router. Do you have any other device beside your phone connecting to this router? If no, you need to test it. If yes and not connecting check the connection security, like wpa or wpa2. If all fail, reset router. This mean you will need to reconfigure your router. Check manual for more on your router.

Yes. View available wireless connections. Click your router. Then click "forget".
Then view again, click your router, and type the passphrase.

Just tried this and it didn't work.
My router is a cheap basic router that came from my internet provider. No such thing on it.

I've already reset anything wifi related on my phone. It hasn't worked.
Do you have something else that you can connect to wifi to see if the problem is your router?

Not in my home no. But like I said in the OP, the wifi on my phone works fine in other houses and hotspots. It's most definitely some kind of communication problem between my router and phone only but I'm not familiar enough with routers to know the problem and I haven't stumbled on anyone else on google having the same problem.
Two laptops, one Win7 and one OsX, are connected. Unfortunately I'm new in the area I live in and my girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone so I haven't been able to test if it's just my phone or just android or iPhones in general.
I can't think of a logical reason why it's like this
Maybe router is configured with wifi 802.11n and the galaxy only runs on b/g ?
If you're using WPA/WPA2 security, check that the
router is set to use AES encryption.
If you think you did your best. Its better to buy a new router then. )
maybe you could try unplugging your router?

I didn't change any of that. It's got a WEP encryption only as well.
Hi,
I have multiple devices at home using the WiFi fine (iPad, Laptops...)
But with two android devices (Nexus 5 and Galaxy S 4, both on unmodified) I have the same problem.
It connects to the network, and works just fine, but after some time, there isn't any internet connection, although it shows as if it's still connected.
By disabling and enabling Wifi I get internet connection again, but it's really annoying.
Here's my setup:
Edimax router as AP
2.4 GHz (B+G+N)
Visible ESSID
Channel number 6
Encryption: WPA 2 (AES) pre-shared key (passphrase)
No MAC Filtering
EDIT: This router is a switch with wireless, it is connected to a diffrent router that is connected to the internet.
What can I do? Should I modify any of my WiFi settings?
Thanks!
did you try to disable energy saver?

If asking you're whether I had disabled the WiFi optimization in the WiFi settings, yes I have...
I have just only remembered that this router is actually a switch with wireless. The internet is connected to the other router, which is connected to the router i'm asking about (EDIMAX) which acts as a switch.
