I am trying to connect to a network using the WPS button on the router. There used to be a setting on previous phones to connect via WPS in the network settings but I can't seem to find it. Anybody know what I need to do?
No more wps, support for it has been removed from Android pie

I know there are a lot of threads about wifi problems on this site, but i cant seem to find one that has helped me.
My problem is that i am trying to connect to my orange broadband router through the wifi on the Zest. It requires a WEP key which i have, and have entered. Although my desktop PC connects to the router with the network key but uses it as a WPA-PSK key with TKIP encryption. I have also tried to connect my Zest using WPA-PSK but have been unsuccessful. It accepts the key (both as WEP and WPA-PSK) and says that the source is 'Available', but it will not actually connect to the internet. I have tried connecting to another hotspot next to my library (which does not require a key) and have been successful, it becomes available and then connects and i am able to use web browsers via wifi, as usually when i open the browser at home it automatically connects to GPRS/3G, which then costs me extra on my contract.
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
noobish error - forgot to press the button on my router that connects new devices
FYI to other Newbies
This can also happen when the user selects (usually inadvertantly) the "WORK" option under "connects me to . . ." section in the wifi setup. When this is selected and all the other settings are set to "my device connects me to . . . 'INTERNET'", then one could have the encryption password correct and have their entire network set up correctly, but the device will STILL fail to connect. Thus, the "connection to" in the wifi network setup and the network adapter, and one's router must all "agree" or connection will not take place.
Today I upgraded my Stock GTAb to TNT Lite 501 which is great. (thanks)
I created an Ad Hoc Network on my windows 7 laptop and tested it with my IPhone which works just fine.
My GTAB Wifi can see the AdHoc SSID but just recycles with an Obtaining IP Address message.
I did spend a few hours researching this but can not find any usefull info and noticed many people have the same problem.
Anyone have a solution ?
Thanks
add the adhoc connection manually to your tablet:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Add Wi-Fi Network
This has worked for me (I also use the Wefi app, I have ever since tnt-lite was a baby)
Just tested an adhoc connection (Win mobile phone) with 5.0.1 and it works just fine.

I just tried that a few times but that doesnt work. My AdHoc is on a windows 7 laptop. The SSID is janspc. Added janspc manually to my GTab but the GTab just adds (*)janspc and ignores janspc. Added manually (*)janspc but that doesnt work either.
Any more sugestions ?

Here is an article that I used before the fix to manually connect to Adhoc networks....Hope you can find the answer in here:

I believe that the "hotspot" you are trying to attach to is running on your phone right, I'm not sure that the iPhone puts out an adhoc mode system as apposed to an infrastructure mode network (two different animals)? Then you connect to your phone's adhoc/infrastructure mode hotspot from the laptop. My adhoc connection also shows up as (*)hotspot and uses a wep key nnnnnnnnnn where n=any numeric value from 1-0 if you are offered any other options than "Wep", say wpa/wpa2 the connection may not be an adhoc connection. After the setup is completed you would then go back in and click on the (*)janspc, push the forget button and enter the Pw again (check it before clicking connect) and now check connect. If this does not get it working correctly then see below:
Look carefully at the inclusions to the Wi-Fi file mentioned in the article I linked to previously
Feel free to PM me if you need to
try connectify
Instead of creating an ad hock network you can download connectify and create an infrastructure mode hotspot for your laptop.

We know android won't connect to Ad Hoc networks, I tried to flash and root often, replaced many versions of the file wpa_suppicant with no results.
Here is an easier alternative to the android - pc connections [adhoc] and share internet, without doing anything on the device, only with a PC application, for all androids and devices...
We will turn our PC into a router, well, do it this way.
This is easy with a little application that I share.
1. Download and extract the files
2. Install the application
3. Restart the system
4. Register the product with the serial (included)
5. Setting fields:
Hotspot Name: choose any name
Password: choose any password
Internet to share: Your interface with internet to share
Share Over: Your wifi interface to connect with your android
Sharing Mode: Select the "wi-fi Access Point"
6. Start Hotspot
7. Activate the wifi on your android and connect to your acces point
Enjoy.
What's the name of sware?
Hi jota!
What's the name of your suggested software? Is it connectify? Connectify can create Access Point mode HotSpot for Windows 7 and above. It's so far the best AP hotspot app for Windows though some other apps like Virtual Router, Virtual Wifi Router,etc are available.

Yes, it is connectify with enabled wi-fi acces point.
Do you know if and how I can host an adhoc network from my phone to other devicss (so i dont have to share my router )

afaik you can make any windows 7/8 (and maybe vista) pc into a wifi hot point with just a few console commands without any external app or program...
Code:
A detailed step-by-step to setup tethering in Windows 7 without any 3rd party software:
From admin command prompt type:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=mywifinetwork key=mysecretkey
Enable new virtual Wi-Fi adapter (it might be disabled upon creation)
From admin command prompt type:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
From current internet conection adapter share (ICS) to the virtual adapter
Connect from wireless client to virtual SSID. Wi-Fi client gets an auto IP and you're good to go.
After host computer restart you only need to repeat steps 3 & 5 to be up and running.
Adhoc or Access Point?
Thanks for the command prompt method NixZero. But, is the created network Adhoc or Access Point mode hotspot? If it's AP, Android can directly connect to it.

@keenofhiphop
Android 2.2 or above have a built in Portable Hotspot feature to create Access Point mode Hotspot easily. Go to Settings->Wifi->Tethering and Portable Hotspot and turn on Portable Hotspot. This is a proper hotspot and acts like a real router. You can share your phone's internet connection over wifi and even play games. There's no need to create an Adhoc network when Access Point mode is readily available.

access point mode - I've used it to connect my tablet
the only annoying thing is that you have to activate it by hand at every boot (you can make a .bat obviously) and there are a few limits on the network sharing, for eg. it sets the dhcp for 192.168.0.255 mask with the server pc as 192.168.0.1 and you cant change it even if you set a different lan ip.

You can create Wifi Access Point without sharing internet. Just turn off Mobile Data and then start Hotspot. It will create a Hotspot with no internet access.
Or did you mean you want to share your home wifi over phone's wifi? Usually, you can only have one wifi connection at a time since there is only 1 wifi transciever per device. But, it may be possible to configure the device as a repeater. This can be done on Windows 7 devices using Connectify by setting up a hotspot with the same name and password as the source wifi connection. I don't know if it can be done on Android too.

@NixZero
Will this IP cause any conflict? As this is dhcp there should be nothing to worry about,right?
What about Static IP? Are there any commands to assign IP?
AndroidWifi for Windows 7
The blog Seeing and Believing has given a more detailed description and steps for the command line WiFi Access Point method that NixZero shared with us. An advantage of this method is that it can share non ethernet internet connections like USB dongle,bluetooth modem,etc. Connectify and other Virtual Routers are limited to sharing ethernet. Connectify Pro can do this, but it's not free. The same blog has also linked to a Windows Application AndroidWiFi which automates execution of these scripts.
How to get list of connected clients?
Hey NixZero, you missed one point - Connectify can show you the list of clients connected to Virtual AP. But, how do we do that in the Access Point created through command scripts?
I want to connect my android device (nexus 7 2013) to an openvpn server which is not administrated by me, meaning I have no access on the configuration.
On my windows7-pc, I do this with the windows version of openvpn, the provided settings file for the openvpn server and the also provided pem-certificate.
Since the server uses the tap device of openvpn, alternative clients like openvpn for android by arne schwabe[1] don't work (this app doesn't support tap).
Since I don't have a private key file (*.key), I cannot generate a p12-file[2] which could be imported by the official openvpn app[3].
The pem-fileformat is compatible to *.cer and *.crt, meaning, I can simply change the file extension to "convert" them. The crt-file can be imported by the android systems (security -> import), but this doesn't help openvpn as it seems to only use it's own certificates.
Any suggestions on how to achieve a successful connection?

i think if you have ICS_P740AV1.0.0B07 + you can't find open hot spot and if you can see you can't connect.
Try to make one hostop secured with wpa2 and try it.

Whoa, i only understand half of it
I have android 4.3 JSS15Q rooted with flo (?). I have superSU and Busybox installed. I followed the default instructions of the nexus root toolkit. My wifi is connected for sure, but it has blocked ports (which is the reason for all this). However, since I'm failing at an earlier stage, and, since it works from my pc from the same network with the same openvpn on the same ports I suppose the error is not in the network settings...
The wifi i'm connected to has wpa2+pkip etc. but I'm not sure how this is relevant...
rom
you have installed a custom rom?
you have try to enable and disable airplane mode?
you have data conenction?

I have stock android rooted. I only have wifi and the connection works perfectly, I tried rebooting the device, I consider this counts as "dis/enable airplane mode". I have good wifi signal strength.
I have no issues accessing websites over port 80/443, only the blocked ports don't work. The openvpn server is reachable on port 443 (it works from my pc).
Hello,
did you ever manage to solve this? I'm looking to configure my nexus 7 2013 to connect to an OpenVPN server using TAP and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using OpenVPN settings with certificate-based authentification. I'm able to connect to my server, however I don't get a local IP address assigned and when I browse the internet, my IP is still showing up as from the original connection instead of the VPN endpoint. Computers with windows 7 can connect to the server no-problem and all their traffic is directed to the tunnel. Any ideas for guides and walkthroughs?
Thanks. Any help is very much appreciated.
Lets say that I already have the WPS pin of my router, is there os any app to connect to my router using the pin like I used to do with galaxy s duos" in galaxy s duos I used to scan for.network select it the instead of putting the Wpa password I used to select advanced setting then wps and simply put the AP WPS pin and get connected without pushin the wps on router.
So anybody knows an app or any other methods to do it in other devices like xperia??!
