Fuze and home Wi-Fi

I'm having a technical problem with my home Wi-Fi router, and my Fuze. I just recently set up a wireless network at home, and have my PC connected to the router through Wi-Fi. Whenever I attempt to connect my Fuze to the router, the Fuze hijacks the connection, and disconnects my PC from the network. I have tried to contact the tech support for the router, but nothing they suggest seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I am missing in the router configuration? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've used my fuze on multiple routers and it doesnt do this. Get a new router

If you give static ip on both pc and ppc check if you gave the same ip. If not, check the dhcp range on your router.

Maybe I should not have said "any help would be greatly appreciated". It is a new router.

It is a Linksys RangePlus WRT110 router.

First thing I would try is updating the firmware, and doing a factory restore.
If that doesn't work, try changing the router to force 54g connections only. It's possible, but unlikely, that the Draft-N spec used by the router doesn't play nicely with the WLAN chipset in the Touch Pro.

agreed, i would try this first. makes sense that if they both have the same ip that that is the cause of your problem. if you're set to assign dynamic ip's on connecting to the router, then i'd try upgrading the firmware. good thing to check first

Still having problems with this issue. Tried everything suggested so far.

Make sure the IP's are not conflicting and the dhcp range is at least 10 addresses.
It could also be a neighbor screwing around, make sure you encrypt your wifi with wpa or wpa2 or anyone in range can use your wifi.

When I first read your problem I thought it was an IP conflict with both devices like some others have said....but if you've checked everything and tried all possible solutions posted in this thread I think it might be pretty safe to assume that you need a new router. If its new, just bring it back and exchange it for a different one.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655P and have connection types (B, G, N) on auto, dynamic IP address assignment set, and I have the latest firmware installed and I have no issues whatsoever...I have a quick lock and fast speeds.

I've got a few questions, because to me this sounds like a possible issue with your network adapter on your PC, rather than a DHCP "hijack" issue.
What is the ip on your PC after it gets "hijacked"?
Do you use sleep/hibernate modes on your PC?
Have you turned off Windows Firewall or any other security/virus/malware software on the PC?
This router is new, did this setup work with a previous router?
What security protocol are you using for wireless connections, WEP, WPA, WPA2, or none?
-----------------
Hope you can figure it out, that's gotta be a real PITA.

Got it fixed. Did some more research, and found that the firmware updates do not work with Firefox, so I used IE to do the update, and it works fine. For anyone else that uses or is planning to use this router, check the firmware. The firmware version that mine came with (1.0.4 build 10) does not work with multiple versions of Windows (ie: cannot have a computer with Win XP and another with Win Vista connected at the same time). Thanks for the help.

Ahhh...well there you go. Glad its fixed.

[Q] Wifi doesn't work at home

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.

WiFi problem with finding access point

Hi,
I'm a new owner of TF700
I've turned it up and have to say that I was impressed.
Right after that I encountered a problem with WiFi not finding my router (WRT54GL). The router's WiFi works (it is normally found by my PC, HTC One S, iPhone on daily basis). The TF700 finds tons of WiFis in the building except mine.
I also tried to manually add the WiFi and I just get-not in range. I tested if the WiFi works with creating a hotspot on my HTC One S and it worked.
Did anyone encountered such a problem/has a solution?
Thank you!

Hi,
I got the same problem after updating my TF700 to version V10.4.4.20
Is anybody has it resolved?

SSID gone on my Transformer
I have the same problem. Before Cyanogen mod 10 on my Transformer 101, my Netgear VVG2000 WPA2/PSK encrypted wifi ap worked fine, but after mod installation I can't se my SSID. It works fine on my SG2 and I can connect and see other wifi networks. Can it be because the MAC address has changed and the router blocks it or...? I also tried to change encryption mode to no avail. It has happened once before with a laptop and a never NIC software fixed it.
Hmmm...

What channel is the router using? If you are in the US and it is 12+ you may have and issue with it.

WI-FI issue

Hi there, I have a problem.
Yesterday afternoon I updated my tablet P6200 Odin v1.85 to version 4.1.2 CSC: SER, and I found the problems regarding the wifi connection.
The tablet tries to connect to it by inserting the credentials I get "saved, protected" and does not connect to the network.
I tried to change WEP WPA WPA2 none, no solution.
I tried to restart / reset the router to its initial settings without solution.
I tried to assign a static address, no solution.
I've tried changing the transmission channel of the router (eg 2, 3, 6, 8), no solution.
I tried to use the application WiFix manager, no solution.
I do not know what to do.
- P6200XXMF1_P6200OXEMF2_P6200XXMC3_HOME.tar.md5 is the firmware version 4.1.2 Russia
- DSL-G624T is the code for the D-link router.
The problem may be that the CSC does not match?! (Russia vs Italy -> SER vs ITV)
Any Idea?

I did open a similar thread like 15 days ago, but the device was a GT-P6210.
Try testing a different brand of Wifi Router, like a Linksys, Cisco or any other except D-Link. I was able to connect my device on Linksys routers without problems
There is a known issue with Samsung JB and DLINK routers, that did happen on S3 and S4, but it seems that the good ol' GTP will share the same fate

Not really, let's wait for US version ofthe rom in order to check if there is a fix with the Wi-Fi issue.
You can also try upgrading your router firmware to its latest version and try it again.

NVIDIA Shield portable rendered itself useless

My nvidia shield portable had lost its ability to connect to wifi for some reason, I factory reset but still the problem persists. Is there any way to update this device and get it working?

What build are you on ? I'm still using my Shield Portable as a "daily driver " for certain things . Just got Amazon Luna running on it lol . Have you tried re-flashing the firmware or reset ?

Did you change your WiFi settings in your router? As i know, the shield portable uses 2.4Ghz. If your WiFi is set to 5Ghz for some reason, your shield would not connect to your network.

Shield Portable can connect to 5ghz on stock if the right channels are broadcasting from the router .
