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.
Hi Guys
Just bought a Rhyme for the wife, was working fine but after updating to ICS the phone doesn't detect my router but detects all the others and I can also connect to the others (the open ones).
I have tried factory reset and downloading the RUU and manually flashing it but still the same problem.
I have also searched the net and the XDA forum but no luck, any help will be really appreciated .
Thanks
Since it's your router, you must know the necessary information to connect to it. Try adding a network manually (type in SSID & password).
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried that but doesn't detect it at all, says "not in range" even though I'm sitting next to it.
All my other devices work though.
Tried resetting the router? If that doesn't work, remove wireless security on the router & try again.

Check in your WiFi settings and make sure it is NOT saved in the list of previous networks. If it is saved, press it and select the option to forget the network. After that, disable and then re-enable WiFi. If you network pops up, then connect and you're done. If it doesn't connect, then follow the directions below.
If your WiFi network is not save in teh list, or it does not show up after following the directions above, try to manually install the network. This is accomplished differently based on your Android version. It may be in the settings menu in WiFi to manually add the network. Jellybean has a + symbol at the bottom of the page to add one manually. ICS and GB both have it hidden in the WiFi menu. Simply input your SSID and password, and tap connect.
Thanks guys
I've reset the router and it works if I leave the name of the ssid alone but when I change it back to what it was before it stops detecting it again.
So I reset the router again, just added a password and all's well.
Funny problem though.
Good to go, thanks & thread closed.
I just updated my tablet to the latest JB ZTO update avaliable for Brazil. Got the firmware directly from Samfirmware and used Mobild Odin (could not use OTA as I was rooted and had cwm installed).
The problem is that since the update the wifi connection at home seems to be slower and also unstable, disconnecting and reconnecting in certain moments. Anyone with the same problem can suggest a solution for this? I have recreated the wifi connection already and would like to perform a factory reset...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue, my temporary fix was switching up my AP (dual band router) between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz, whenever it gets slow...
I've e-mailed samsung about it:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
We understand that you have an isue with wifi speed of the device after the jellybean upgrade.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please remove the wifi networks from the device and try to add again and check for the result.
If the issue persists please perform the Hard Reset on the device. It will delete all the data in the device and bring the device to Factory Default Settings.
Please follow the steps below to perform the Hard Reset:
Hard Reset for Tab's:
1. Turn off the TAB. Power on the unit and then press the Volume button until you see the green Android. Just after the Galaxy S logo disappears.
2. Toggle the Volume left to highlight the left icon, and then toggle the Volume right to Select.
3. Use the Volume button to highlight ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and press Power select.
4. Use the Volume button to highlight ‘Yes – delete all user data’ and press Power select
5. You’re back to the main screen. Highlight ‘reboot system now’ and click the Power to select.
Warning: all data on the phone is lost after reset.

I've recently just hard reset my note, gonna see if I still have the issue.
Hi,
I had the same issue and i solved setting a static ip address (disable dhcp) for my wifi network.
Now the speed is rock solid on 30 mbits, instead of 2 mbits.
I have a Asus wifi router on 54G and i share it among several devices.

Did you set the static ip from the router or settings on the tablet?
My preliminary tests show hard reset did not improve the speed. My 5ghz AP speed was dropped last night, but that might be poor signal, I've set to 2.4ghz and will see how that hold out tonight. If that doesn't work, I'll try out the static IP.
I'm tempted to see if I can find an old radio from before JB and flash that on.
I'm surprised there aren't much talk about the issue.
Update:
Hard reset did not help, so don't bother. Using my trick of switch to my other AP fixed it temporary just like before.
Gonna try setting static ip on the android and see if that helps.
Update2:
Having set static ip on the tablet, speed seems to have held out.
If speed continues to be ok tonight, then I can confirm this fixes it.
Any idea why this fixes it? Is it an issue with the JB update's radio?
Last Update:
Yup, it's fixed.
Thanks for the static ip suggestion.
Time to get on Samsung's back to get this fixed.
Wrong forum, could someone move this, please.
Hello there,
What i did so far:
Factory reset 2x
Network resets 2x
Enables/disabled WiFi+
Used different apn
What i experience
When im not using my phone for several minutes, go back and use it, it wont connect to the internet. This means i cant load anything internet related. While the problem happens, the outbound traffic symbol lights up permanently. This occurs on both, mobile data an wifi. Tested several wifi access point, been through several locations to connect to different signal towers.
I have the feeling, that when i did a reset, it worka better for several hours, but goes back to the bad behaviour.
Any suggestions?
Problem seems to be gone after a third reset.
Hello guys have a good day
I am using an Honor 7s device but I am unable to connect to my home wifi network, It s telling that "Denied access to network"
I have done resetting the network and resetting the whole device wiping everything but the issue is still there
Any replies will be appreciated
Try this:
Open the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch the name corresponding to a Wi-Fi network or touch and hold it, select Forget, then enter the password to try connecting again.
Open Settings, search for and touch Reset network settings, then enter the password to try connecting again.
This will restore all network settings, including Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth settings, but will not delete any data or files or change other settings.
Power off and then power on the router.
Restore the router to its factory settings and try connecting again.

Already done the above mentioned steps but didn't made any difference
