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.
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,
Hi everyone,
I own a Nexus 5 and I am running stock firmware, Android 6.0 MRA58K, unrooted and bootloader locked. I use this device at work and frequently connect to a WiFi LAN that has no internet connection (by design -- I use it to talk to other devices on the network). In older software versions (I believe back in the KitKat days if I recall), I could simply turn on the WiFi slider on my phone, and it would automatically connect to the network, and I could immediately start talking to the devices I need to (this was excellent!). Then when Lollipop first rolled around, it would still connect to the network automatically, but it would realize that there's no internet connection, so it would then prioritize the Cellular Data network, preventing me from communicating with my network devices. So I had to do an extra step by disabling my data connection, then things would work properly again. (Of course, this also meant that when I wanted to jump off the Wi-Fi, I would need to re-enable Cellular Data.)
Nowadays, Android seems to remember that my WiFi network doesn't have an internet connection, so it never joins it by default (very frustrating!). So every time I want to jump on the network, I need to turn on WiFi, then manually select the network to join, then go into the Data section and disable cellular Data, and then things would be working fine. Of course, if I ever walked away from the Wi-Fi range and then came back, I would again need to manually select the network.
And now with this lastest Marshmallow update, a new Notification pops up every time I join the Network that says:
"Wi-Fi has no Internet Access. Touch for options." When touched it says, "This network has no Internet access. Stay connected? Yes/No" There's also a checkbox that says, "Don't ask again for this network". Every time I check that box, and say YES to stay connected. And yet each and every time I connect to the network, this notification appears again! (The checkbox seems to do nothing). I've looked at the Advanced options in the Wi-Fi settings, and nothing there seems to help.
So my question is, is there a way for me to go back to the "good 'ole days", where I can get my phone to automatically join this WiFi network, and still prioritize it over cellular data?
If need be, I'm perfectly fine with rooting/unlocking my phone, if I need to install some custom firmware or whatever.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have!

Hey guys! I'm at a bit of a standstill.
I just purchased a Galaxy S7 Edge (T-Mobile if it matters) and I'm having some issues with a few games. For some reason, most of them just won't load over WiFi but they load perfectly over mobile data. Here's a few prime examples:
NFL Mobile. When connected to WiFi, the game gets stuck at "Signing Contracts." Eventually it times out and says I need to be connected to the internet. The second I turn off wifi the game immediately proceeds past the stuck screen and works just fine.
Asphalt Xtreme: The game loads, but when you're finished with a race it says "getting card info" or something similar which it's essentially referring to the rewards. Over Wifi, the connection times out. Over mobile data, it works instantly.
I've only found a few 'fixes' over the internet and none have worked. I haven't tried the factory reset yet but I will if it's my only option. Here's a few things I found online which I've tried, yet no luck.
Changing DHCP to Static in my phone.
Updating DNS1 to 8.8.8.8.
Changing TKIPAES to AES
I use a WRT500 connected via fiber optics, 300mbps if it matters. I'm set to IPv4 (doesn't even have an IPv6 option), PPPoE, WPAPSKWPA2PSK, changed TKIPAES to just AES, WPS is enabled, and I'm getting well over 200 MBPS from speedtests. Web browsing is normal, YouTube loads 1440p+ instantly, etc. My problem seems to be just the games. I've also tried this on my work WiFi, works just fine.
So what do you think I should do here? Is the router the issue? Are there some sort of specific network changes I should make? Thank you for any insight.
If it's working fine on your works WiFi, then it seems the issue is not the phone, almost certainly your home WiFI/Router
Try rebooting the router, if that doesn't work, restore it to factory settings and start fresh, don't forget to write down any info needed for the router to connect
No proxies or VPNs enabled on the router? Sounds like it's struggling to directly connect to the services needed by the game and hanging, rather than knowing there is or is not a connection and proceeding it just keeps trying
Its google being a as*#*#hole again, it happened to me. Drag your screen down, open wifi, then open wifi preferences, (go into advance wifi settings on your phone), There will be a network rating provider, when you open that setting you will see google selected as default, unselect it and select none, (the option that says "none". Problem sovled. Google ruins everything, i turn off as many google settings as I can. Another way around it is to set up another device like a tablet/pc and turn it into a hotspot and then connect your phone to that new hot spot. Its all because some server game require a trusted connection and google tells the game that your wifi is untrusted. Hope that sorts it for you.
