[Q] Connect to Wi-Fi router not broadcasting SSID?

Just got my Gtab yesterday and haven't had time to mod/root yet (aside from the automatic update that installed when 1st connected) but was wondering if there's a way with stock ROM to enable the ability to connect to a Wi-Fi router that's not broadcasting its SSID.
I have the connection set up, but it will only find my router when it's broadcasting the SSID, which I'd prefer not to do, and I don't see an option to connect even though the router's not broadcasting it.
I was hoping that once it established the connection, it would remember and reconnect even after disabling the SSID broadcast, but it doesn't.
If not possible with the stock ROM, is this possible with any of the alt ROMs out there?

[Q] Wifi Connection Problems - Vegan-Tab

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.

Moved to general

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...

[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

Wifi doesn't work properly

I got a problem with my 1+1.
For serveral reasons I disable the ssid (Name of the Network) for my home wifi, to First Connect the 1+1 it works, but if I disable the SSID again it doesn't Connect, my Note 3,Nexus 5/7 and my pc Connect correctly, only the 1+1 makes some trouble, currently on 44s Rooted, maybe a known issue?

WiFi and FritzBox

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 can´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?
