Hi!
Have had the Pro version for a while. It connects to my home mesh network without a problem. Asus XT8 (WIFI6). Works great!
At my work they also use a WIFI6 mesh network, delivered by Cisco I think. But I cannot get the tablet to connect. It doesn't even try to authenticate. My Pixel 5 connects no problem, also countless other devices, Samsung's, Apple's, etc. But my P11 Pro doesn't even want to authenticate. I've tried to reset the tablet, but didn't fix anything. It connected once and that was the very first time it connected to the work network. I've tried to use QR code from a device that has connection, no avail.
I've tried talking to my administrator, but to no help. My device, not their problem... And yeah, it most defiantly seems to be my device that has a problem. I found out they use WPA3 key (or at least has the option enabled), could that be the problem? At home and other networks I can connect to I belive is only using WPA2 key.
Android 10 is compatible with WPA3.
Have you tried "Forgetting" the SSID and trying to connect again?
Does the administrator have MAC address blocking on the router?
Thank you for answering.
I've tried deleting the SSID information from the tablet, but it doesn't rectify the problem. Same result, says "connecting..." under the SSID and the nothing.
I'll ask if they can check if the MAC been blocked! But, in WIFI options the MAC "spoofing"/randomizer in Android is enabled for this network
Try your MAC hardware address rather than random if you can. You'll be presenting to the router with different MAC addresses every time you connect and if they do have MAC address blocking then you'll be blocked.
I'm grasping at straws to be honest
Did you bought the Chinese version with global rom? because I bought it, and i was having problems with the wifi, I found out it was only with the 5 ghz network, it only connected to the Chinese allowed bands. The only solution I found was with magisk changing the props where the wifi region is located, but then you loose widevine L1.

I've talked to admin, they told me there's no special MAC ban. It's also NOT WIFI6 as I thought earlier, but 5, and WPA2-PSK. Same as home I believe.

No, this one is bought from Lenovo's website (DigitalRiver), based in EU where I live (Norway). One of the reasons I bought it was widewine L1 support XD.

I see no reason why it should misbehave then - strange.
Well, even then you can check if the wifi region is correct, you can go to the recovery and select "view recovery logs" and check the following props "ro.product.countrycode" and "ro.boot.wificountrycode" if any of this says "CN" then is the region wrong and the culprit is the lenovo oficial ROW rom.
ro.product.countrycode=SE
ro.boot.wificountrycode=SE
I think this would be correct as SE would correspond to Sweden. Norway and Sweden are neighbouring countries and I see often that many manufacturers doesn't have Norway as an option, but Sweden is listed (and Denmark...)
Or should I contact customer support and ask if I should have recieved one that says NO in these entries?
Well looks ok, you can use an app like wifi analyzer to see what channel is your work network, and if your tablet see it, if your tablet cannot see it, maybe they are using a forbidden channel (for example here in Spain you cannot use the 14 channel on 2.4 ghz network, but i found that some routers use it anyway), in case that the tablet find the network it can be a rom related problem. I doubt is hardware related because you said the connection is fine on your house and you can connect one time at your work. Anyway is not a bad idea contacting Lenovo customer support with the connection parameters.
It can see the network just give. In android and in Wifi analyzer app. Doesn't use any forbidden channels afaik.
Yeah, I probably should contact Lenovo.
Thank you for your help
Update:
Was in contact with Lenovo Technical Support. They hadn't heard about this issue before (OFC). But they recommended I do a what he called "hard hard reset" using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant as the reset I've done is what he called a soft reset, using the factory reset in Android (not recovery).
So I'll try that and see if that helps.
I also asked about the countrycode beeing Sweden, I was told it is that for all Scandianvian countries.
Hello.
I have the exact same issue as BFalck. With the wifi in my home I have no problem while with the wifi at work I can't connect in any way. The network is seen and saved but the connection fails. I must say, however, that my unit is the Chinese one with the European Rom of Lenovo. BFalck let me know if with the "hard hard reset" you can solve. Thank you

Sorry to say, the hard reset didn't solve my problem.
Do you know which router/access point you're having trouble with? My job use Cisco air-ap2802i-e-k9.

I'm sorry but I don't know this detail. It is very likely that a Cisco device is being used, however. My company provides many wifi networks and the tablet connects to all but not the one that reaches my office...
So I had one of the administrators on site a couple of days ago. We've tried to error check the wlan. In the logs of the AP's the Lenovo tablet doesn't seem to even register trying to connect to the network. That confirms my suspicion there's something wrong with the WiFi in the tablet. Some kind of incompatibility with some devices.
I'll be attaching a image of the label of the AP's we're using.
I have this issue too.
My Xiaoxin Pad Pro ( installed with the Lenovo Pad P11 Pro ROM ) will not connect to my wifi 6 (ax) enabled router on the 5 GHz frequency for use with wifi 5 (ac), only connetcs to 2.4 GHz.
Really annoying. And I cannot disable the wifi 6 function to test connecting to ac-only.
Some backwards compatibility problems, perhaps. Or region specific configurations.
No issues to connect to 5 GHz using my old Netgear r6300v2 (ac-enabled).
Anyone able to connect to a WiFi 6 network?
Yes, no problem connecting to my XT8 mesh at home running W6. Workplace only has W5.
I managed to get it to work by changing the pre-selected channel option from ISP.
I had to find a way to bypass the locked option in the webUi in the router. (Praise the internet)
My ISP had pre-selected a higher channel range (B-range with DFS) and my P11 did not work with that.
The only other option was "without DFS" and that is only available in the lower A-range (channel 36, 40, 44, 48)
Hope this can help someone!
I can confirm as per previous forum member that this tablet cannot work with 5ghz control channels out of the A-RANGE. It is easy if the router is at home to be changed. At least in ASUS router. Maybe caused by CN wifi profile.aside from that I thinks this tablet is just perfect.

Hello Everyone,
I just received a ATT fuse and for the life of me I cannot seem to get the WIFI to work. I've had the tilt and the 8125 previously and I tried duplicating settings to no avail.
Are there known issues with the WIFI on this phone?
I can connect to my WEP enabled wireless router, but opera and IE fails to connect and just keeps giving me errors. This is what I have read and what I have tried:
Setting to "work" instead of "Internet"
I've tried the cab files posted in another thread to disable ATT proxy
I'm a little lost in what to check. I did follow everything I've read here that came up in "WIFI" search. I have not unlocked the phone nor flash a rom.
Could someone lend a hand?
Sign up for the att media program...its on the attwireless site
This is a bit drastic, but an easy potential fix is to flash another ROM (after flashing Hard-SPL of course). AT&T often adds a bunch of unnecessary crap to their ROMs, which may interfere with normal functions. You could always flash the AT&T ROM back if you'd like.
Hi Animexi80,
I already have a data plan. The problem isn't with Media net, it is with the phone's built in WIFI.
Trancecoder,
Really, that drastic of a step.. Do you know of a rom that fixed a WIFI problem?
Thanks

Honestly, I never even gave the AT&T ROM a chance, so I was unaware of Wi-Fi issues. Pretty much any ROM should work. If you flash a Fuze-specific ROM, you may want to run the CAB that disables the hidden AT&T proxy. If you flash a generic Touch Pro ROM, you'll likely need to run a CAB that fixes the keyboard layout.
Ok, I suppose I will give it a go.
If I may ask, would you tell me which rom and radio you're running. It would help rule things out it it doesn't correct the problem.
thanks

What is the "hidden AT&T proxy?"
I just got an AT&T Fuze and after enableing wifi using the wireless manager, had no trouble connecting to home wireless networks with various security configurations (WEP, WPA, hidden SSID, etc.). Of course if the access point has the MAC filter enabled, the Fuze MAC address must be added to the allowed list.

I'm running an older PROven ROM, version 1.03. I'll be upgrading soon, probably to NATF's ROM. My radio ROM is 1.08.25.20, but (1) the radio ROM doesn't control Wi-Fi, so it's moot, and (2) it has not had very good battery life, so I'll downgrade back to 1.02.25.28 tonight.

It's a proxy setting, separate from the normal one under Connections, that is hidden. It's used to make things such as Cingular, er, Cellular Video work.

This is a bit off-topic, but FYI, anything below WPA/WPA2 cannot be considered secure. WEP can be cracked in minutes, hidden SSIDs don't make APs invisible, and MAC filtering is useless (except with WPA/WPA2) as anyone sniffing traffic can see client MAC addresses in the clear.
I have found that sometimes when I have both a "data connection" and a "wi-fi" connection that they phone seems to not lock on the wi-fi but tries to use a weak data connection so try turning off the data connection and see if that fixes the problem. Also give a soft reset a try as well.
Surprised by how few ppl are having wi-fi issues. I've tried about 6 ROMs now and have the same problem with everyone (guessing this proves its more of a hardware vs software issue)
I can locate and connect to a wi-fi network but no data transfers. I have to continually disconnect/turn off/reconnect over and over and finally I will get a connection..but if unit goes into sleep for a few minutes...I have to repeat.
Very annoying...no one else is having wi-fi issues?
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't reported back sooner. I wound up loading a different rom on the phone and away went the problem.
jank0023, I have no idea. I would flash the phone back to stock and return it for another if all else fails. In all my searching, here and elsewhere, there ahve been a handful of wifi problems I came across. It doesn't seem like that common of a problem afaik.

If its your router try another channel make sure its on a supported signal (a,b, g)... lastly ensure your router is excepting all devices. I know these are basic checklist items but sometimes these can get us. I had a laptop that would only work on channel 6 ;-).

Thanks guys for the suggestions...I don't think its related to my network setup as I have about 4 other devices able to obtain signals with no problems using DHCP.
Issues don't seem to be as severe on some of the most recent ROMs I've used but still not perfect.
I am using a samsumg galaxy tab to conduct WIFI site surveys of both work and other wireless networks. The issue is that it can only see hidden networks / ssid's which the device is connected to. If there is a network next door and it is hidden, the device can not see it. I have been using wifi analyser and wifi manger, plus tried many other apps but none of them could see the hidden networks.
From what I can tell, android can not see hidden wireless networks (unless you know about them and connect to them). Is this correct? if so, has anyone come up with a workaround or fix? I know from a PC, there is many apps that I use to see all these networks. It is just easier to take the tab then to take a laptop. I also use it to identify faulty AP's, works a treat if you know the network.
Thankyou.
I also have faced the same problem with my HTC Hero! :S
Per default a hidden network can not be seen because it doesn't broadcast it's SSID. If you know the SSID though, you can connect to the network.
WiFi stumblers that show hidden networks basically just grab packets from the air and grab the SSID from them. (simplified explanation)
I understand that hidden network do not broadcast the SSID, however they still broadcast management frames that a WIFI analyser can pick up. For example, on a PC using netstumbler, you can see AP's without the SSID being broadcasted. This at least shows you what AP's are in adjacent buildings, channel they are on and their mac address, regardless if the network is hidden or not. I am wanting to know, if there is an app around that can do the same but on the Galaxy Tab.
I am not trying to connect to these networks, I am just wanting to know if they are or might be interferring with out company's wireless network. (ie same channel)
Can anyone assist me please or answer my question?

What device/rom/modem?
I'm on an I9000 with Darky 10 and zsjpg modem, and I cannot use a wifi with hidden ssid.
I revise my question to: is it not possible on certain devices/roms?
You can connect to hidden networks if you know the SSID, however I am trying to see all hidden networks around me without connecting to them. The same as you can do with netstumbler on a laptop. I have tried the netstumbler android app and this can also not see hidden networks. So far, all apps I have tried can not see them. I am thinging this might be a restriction of Android. Can anyone confirm this?
I haven't found one that does either, but like I said my phone doesn't seem to be able to even connect to a wifi with hidden SSID, so that may be why for me.
I have a buddy with a Xoom here at work, I'll see what he says. It runs Honeycomb though, so not an apples to apples comparison.
Yes please. Would be good to know if a xoom can see hidden networks.

bump for answer
I had this problem on my Galaxy S2 I9100 with kernel UGKG2 but the problem went away after flashing kernel XWLA4.
Not sure if that will help anyone or not but it now works correctly with the new kernel for me.
Hi Guys,
I have searched, but did not find a working solution on how to connect the Xoom to a wireless network, which does not broadcast its ssid. My friend has an Acer Iconia and he can connect to hidden networks, so Android 3.0 must be able to.
Has anybody been able to get this to work on their Xoom?
Cheers,
Deputy
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
You can type the name of the ssid in if you know it. And if you're in range, you'll connect.
Hi, yeah, that works on my phone (CM7) but not on the Xoom... It is disabled for an okish reason, but I was hoping someone would know how to enable it anyway.
The Android framework doesn't properly support hidden SSIDs, unfortunately.
There's a WifiManager setting for network entries, but it doesn't actually do anything.
IMO there's no good reason to use a hidden SSID. It really doesn't provide any additional security (A determined hacker can find your network anyway)
With the incompatibilities it causes with many devices, why do it?
Not sure where some people are having issues adding hidden SSIDs, I had no problem adding my network to the Xoom right out of the box a couple weeks ago. The wifi setup function under wireless settings actually prompts for your SSID when manually adding one. Perhaps I was lucky in getting a less-problematic Xoom, but it works just fine for me. The 3.1 update was pushed out to it automatically last Saturday and I still connect no problem.
Wifi is pretty quick, though it sucks to hear the info about it not utilizing the full potential of 802.11n.
Don't believe the hype that your system is not any more secure through SSID cloaking, doing so makes it is less of a target, unless it's the only AP around and someone knowledgeable enough is looking to get in. Don't use it as your only layer of security, but use it in conjunction with the strongest encryption your systems support.
I agree with both of you, there is no reason to use it, but my employer seems to have a different opinion, so I can't do much with it over there.
Thanks for your replies.
Have 3 Hidden-SSID networks configured in my Xoom; I bet your problem lies elsewhere (special chars, maybe? Misspelled SSID?)

I have tried it many times. I am sure the spelling is ok. Mine uses no authentication. Is it the same for your networks?
Would be very interesting to find the difference. (but, then again, I can't change the network properties at my company)

I just bought a second Xoom for my wife and ran into this same problem with hers. Mine connects to the network fine whether its broadcasting or not, I normally have it turned off. Hers will only connect when said broadcast is turned on.
it makes me think it has to be a setting somewhere that's off on hers, just have to find it.
I get error code 805a0193 when I try to download apps over WiFi. When I switch WiFi off, I can download them over 3G. I tried a HTC Tropy and a Samsung Omnia 7 on more than one WiFi network.
I also tried Nodo and Mango 7712 with the only difference that Nodo is not giving the error code but also fails over wifi.
Since I can download the apps over 3G, it must be some WiFi or maybe ISP / service provider issue?
I am using the South African marketplace with the Vodacom service provider.
Any luck Willie? I have the same problem...
No luck, it appears to be a marketplace issue. Hopefully when mango launches (and the official marketplace) we will have more info to troubleshoot.
Router or ISP?
I have exactly the same problem, but it seems to be isolated to my home network.
downloading via wifi at the office or at a friend's place works like a charm.
The only difference I can think of here is either the router (netgear) or my ISP (webafrica)
Anyone have any other ideas?
Same issue
Hi,
I have the same issue, also a Netgear modem and Afrihost as an ISP. I've logged several calls with Microsoft and they don't even know what is going on. I then installed Connectify and the Microsoft Network Monitor app (basically created my own HotSpot via 3G) an logged all the packets - it seems like the Marketplace server gives an "access denied" error... So am not sure how to get around that.
hmmm... so since you have a netgear marbur79, that MAY be the problem.
When I get a chance, I'm going to switch to 2 difference ISP's.
Namely, telkomsa and mweb. Will post my findings.
Perhaps you can try the same?
Are you guys on mybb at all? Anyway, same issue here, ISP is MWeb.
I do not think its the router. I tried d-link and netgear. I believe there is some issues with the marketplace setup if you access it from South Africa so Microsoft will have to fix it. I also asked the question to Microsoft. Follow the thread on
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wpapps/marketplace-download-error-805a0193-over-wifi/31dd8c5b-3d83-4037-aeb9-1af03133073b

So you've can safely say that its the ISP causing this issue?
I'll have a word with WB.
My ISP, surewest, is definately causing the issue. Free Wifi outside of my house works. Pre Mango works (dunno about Nodo, I just got the phone yesterday, and it came with 7008). ATT Mobile Data works. I disabled the firewall for a moment, and it still failed to work.
I am also having the same issue and it would seems as if there is no real answer yet?
I have WP7 HD7 with upgrade to full Mango 7720. I also received and updated an update from HTC (all updates over Zune). I am on Vodacom but with UK Live ID.
The small apps I can download over 3G, but the bigger ones request for WiFi.
I have switched to airplane mode and switched only the Wi-Fi on, linked directly to LinkSys WAG54AGS. ISP is Afrihost. I even installed a virtual WiFi network on laptop. No luck.
DNS Issue
Hi guys,
I found out that this is caused by a rogue DNS entry in the SA ISP's DNS servers. If you change your router's DNS address to 8.8.8.8 to use Google's DNS server instead the issue is resolved.

Works like a charm thanks mate!
Strange but works
Change locale. Switch off wifi. Off it goes. Switch back wifi. I'm investigating the reasons. Its windows. Same on Nokia.
Received today (finally! :silly my XT1650-03 Dual SIM in white/gold flavour and... only few seconds after turning it on... the first issue!
And not a minor one, a bad issue... weird that nobody have reported it before!
Turned on, boot, chose language, selected a wifi and... error during verifying connection: no Internet!
Obviously, my wifi had a good Internet connection up & running...
Tried again. Nope. Tried my old phone in hot spot mode (ever worked fine with every piece of hardware...), connected... same error!
Major problem was that on this phone the verifying step can't be bypassed (ignore is gray out...), so I was on a no way loop.
After A LOT of tries, at last it decided to bypass and go after BUT all my wifi connection still were marked as "Connection without internet" and no navigation available.
I've tested three known good wireless connections, all open, all same result.
Tried to configure them as static IP, inserted good data (it's my work, I KNOW what to insert...), same result.
The phone was connected, was pingable, has good IP, Gateway, DNS but... No internet.
My old phone and my pc, in wifi on the same network, was laughing at new arrived while surfing the Web. ..
After some Google searching (and a LOT of stupid "solutions"...) I found the good one... :fingers-crossed:
It's needed to enable Developer options and, inside, enable an option called "Use old/Lollipop DHCP client".
After that we *have to* delete the memorized wifi connections and recreate them. After that they work fine!
Weird thing is that, when I set manually the connection parameters, there shouldn't be anymore a DHCP protocol to be used...!!!
BUT probably, since it seems to need connections to be deleted before begin to work fine on them, even with manual (correct!) parameters it continues to mark them as "No internet" for some strange reason...
I think this is an issue related to Marshmallow more than Moto Z itself, BUT anyway it is a bad bug and I can't understand @google what they have "invented" this time to have such an absurd behaviour on a simple (and old) protocol as DHCP!
Obviously, connection parameters before and after the setting were exactly the same (same IP, same gateway, same DNSs), BUT with old DHCP enabled they are now of Moto Z taste...
Nobody had faced this issue before?
I didn't have this, probably just you. Haven't heard of anyone else either, so i can assume it might be your Router/WiFi AP that is old/outdated and uses redundant/old protocols (try updating the Routers Firmware, see if that helps). If that isn't the case, then i don't know (maybe someone else also has/had this problem, don't ask me).

I have to repeat myself... It's my work... I know what I'm talking about...
Up to date, four tested, three not working vs. one working with new protocol enabled. All working with old one.
DHCP is a old, simple & efficient protocol, there is no need to mess up it...!
WiFi compatibility *must* be best as possible (think about public hotspots, airport, etc... I Travel a lot and I need it!) and not limited in any way by absurd changes in well working protocols...!
When I'll be @hong Kong airport and my Moto Z eventually refused to connected WiFi, what should I do? Ask them to "upgrade router firmware"?
If you Google "marshmallow dhcp client issues" it's full of thread of people having this issue...
What they have invented is still a mistery instead...
I don't have this problem too.
I have the phone from august. It is an UK model, single sim. I have done factory reset more than 5 times and never had that problem. It is your phone with this problem.
