Ok, I looked on the WIKI and searched the site for a solution and was unable to find one.
Here is my problem. I have wireless internet at my house. My access point works fine. My laptop and PS3 connect to with no problem at all. My Touch pro connects to it with no problem. But, after I connect to the WIFI (and verify it is connected) I cannot use it?
I tried to open opera = "site not found" try to open Skyfire = "site not found"
I cant even update my weather while connected to WIFI. So thats my problem. I can connect to WIFI but not use it!
ANY AND ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank you in advance. iko[
anyone....

You and I are not the first. I researched this (in depth) and it is found on a lot of sites, people complaining about it....However, I have yet to find an answer, that is why I came here...these guys can usually solve some pretty complex stuff!
Hopefully someone answers soon......

ok i fix it....very very easy...under the "WIFI" settings there is a box to check...next to the box it says "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" check this box then under that is a choice for "EAP Type" choose the "smart card" connection....also turn off your data connection via the comm manager...for some reason my TP wont let me connect to WIFI when the data communication is enabled....good luck worked for me!

When I go into Settings, the Connections tab, and click on WiFi, I don't see any check boxes at all, let alone one for "Use IEEE ...".
I must be in the wrong menu/place. Could someone please help direct me to the right place?
you'll see the check boxes once you connect to a wifi..i also have wireless internet at my house, and can connect and use my wifi just fine.
try to install some app that block`s data connections from your mobile provider ... nodata for example, you can find a link to it on xda.
set all the other connections to disabled ... and you phone connection to GSM ... not GPRS, EDGE or something else ...
set your wi-fi connection to connect to the internet ... not to work.
this worked for me for a dlink 784 router, now i`m banging my head against a 524 (again DLink) and have the same problem it connects but does not get on the internet. the problem seems to come from the TP, some settings need adjusting but i didnt figure out which one yet ...
good luck
PS: for iko, i think you have your router set on enteprise security, not personal... for personal WPA, WPA2 with a PSK, and TKIP or AES encryption, the "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" is checked and greyed out, and you do not have access to it on the TP

Just got my Hero recently and I've tried connecting wifi but it doesnt work.
Not that the wifi doesnt work, it does but the thing is, at school, once you're connected to wifi you're supposed to open up a browser and login before internet will work.
So when I'm connected, I try opening a browser but it instantly saids I dont have internet access. I dont know what to do or how to fix this. Has this happened to anyone else?
I did already marked off the "block pop windows" so I dont know what else I can do.
Help anyone?
Try Wefi
That does the job for me. Works on all networks, except my home network

Find someone with a laptop to connect to the Wi-Fi at school
Jot down the URL of the authentication page
Go to that page on your phone's browser
Log in
If that works, bookmark the authentication page and make it your first destination when on the school's Wi-Fi.
thanks guys for your responses.
i'll definitely try out those options you both mentioned.
In the Wireless Networks it says "Connected" next to my "SSID" i have the correct key and dns/static ip setup. I go on Marketplace, internet browser (Opera), and another internet browser (Skyfire) and none of them work, so basically I'm connected to my router but I have no Internet.
I have HSPL3, ChuckyROM, and Radio Radio_2_11_50_26, I used to have Radio 2_12_50_02_2 but the internet didn't work with that one either.
What could be wrong??

First off why are you using static?
Second have seen these types of issues before with static , try dynamic(DHCP).
well i have to use the dns, i don't need the static ip, i switched to dhcp and only input the dns but it is still not working.

In your settings, when you configured your wifi , in the box that says "connects to:" did you select "The Internet" or "My Work", this should be Internet ...
yea its says "The Internet" and by the way, after i removed the static IP my connection just says Unavailable when i try to connect (I hide my router's SSID so i input the stuff manually)
Oh and i had a motorola cliq before and it connected just fine
ok so for some reason i retried it just now and the internet works...so i guess problem is solved
Hi, I searched the forums and found this thread regarding wifi Internet problem so I'm posting my problems here.
I'm having similar wifi issue. I can connect to home router just fine but when I'm out using either free wifi from some stores (like panera or starbucks) or School wifi, it shows up as "Connected" but when I try browser it won't even show the home page or log in page. I switched from "Work" to "Internet" but it still won't work...
I don't think it's hardware problem but more so OS problem or something i'm missing. This problem only occurs with WinMo 6.5(I use stock rom), and when I boot Dan Android, wifi works fine. I'm not sure if Android's usage of wifi is somehow affecting my WinMo's ability to log into wifi but this is my wild guess.
If someone knows what my problem is could you please help me?
thanks
i think my problem was that when i tried to connect to my wifi, my hd2 was connected to my pc via usb. when i tried to connect when i'm not connected to my pc it worked
that's about all i know, hope it helps
did recognize this too...i think w-lan is disabled when active sync is activated...because the phone can use the internet connection of the pc.
back to topic: do you use static ip's in your home network or does the other networks (school) require a static but you're on dynamic ip?

hm, I have no idea which ip I use when I'm connected to home or public. How do I check?
Hey guys, I've been searching around the forum and on google the whole night, but haven't managed to solve this problem I'm having.. I'm using Energy rom aug 10th version Cookie gtx.. I'm trying to use my laptop to browse the net using phone as a wireless router. Managed to connect, but it always shows "Limited Connectivity" on my laptop.. Meaning to say, I can't browse the net... I've gone through what some others have suggested eg. turning off "N" mode in bsb tweaks, making sure that the 2 adapters are one "Use server-assigned IP address", making sure that connection is to "The Internet" instead of "Work", updating the drivers for the wireless adaptor on my laptop ... but still, no joy for me... It's been a long time of searching, and I'm pretty worn out, so thought I'd post this question here before I hit the sack.... Anyone knows how I can solve this issue?? Sometimes my home network can be pretty buggy, so I thought that if I could use my HD2 as my router instead, I should at least face lesser problems, but turns out, I can't even connect properly! Help guys... Thanks!
*EDIT* Solved! Peeps who are having issues with using your Leo as a wireless router, follow the steps below!
Note: Credits go to DN41 as he was the one who walked me through it. Please thank him.. =) I'm just posting this as I'm sure that there are others who are also looking for a fix to this.. This may not be the best method, but in my opinion, it's better than no method at all... This should be the last resort if after trying out everthing else, and you still can't get it to work..
First step - On your Leo go to "Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters"
You should see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter...
Tap on them and change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1
When you're done, go out of that screen and it should be saved...
Second step - On your notebook, go to "Network and sharing centre ---> Manage wireless networks ---> Adapter Properties"
Untick the "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ---> Properties" and click "Use the following IP Address"
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Click ok, and then close the box. *NOTE: Do not use alternate IP's etc. It won't work.*
Start your Wireless router on your Leo and wait for it to start up, and from here you should be able to
connect to your Leo using it as a wireless router! Hope this has managed to help you guys! Thanks once
again to DN41!

not sure, but seems more of a PC problem,
what system are you running - I vaguely recall, that in Vista you could define the Home/Public connection type or sth like that
I'm not sure but I guess PC problem might also be the issue... I'm using Vista Home Edition... Do you know how to define the Home/public connection type and what kind of connection type should be set? Thanks a million!
I use Vista only sporadically, but the last time I tried to use my HD2 as a router for Vista laptop, I only succeeded after several attempts, what helped for the final and successful one was deleting the "Wi Fi router" from network list on PC, soft reset of HD2 (just in case) and start from the scratch
hmm.. so you deleted all the wireless routers?
no, only the HD2 one, which accidentally is named "Wi Fi router"
ok, will try and update here.. =)
=( Still no joy... Sigh...
The Wireless Router I used last week asked which provider to use at the bottom of the main screen. Vista will tel you that you have limited connectivity if you are associated to the WAP but don't have internet access. This implies that you have the wrong provider selected at the bottom of the main screen.
so you are using dhcp?
its worth to try static ip's, or not?
for example: LEO has IP 192.168.1.1 and your pc 192.168.1.2. make sure, that the gateway entered on your pc is LEO's IP..in this case 192.168.1.1
also make sure, that you have disabled IPv6 on your notebook.
that should really work...i dont like dhcp configurations and so i always use static ones...that ever worked!
DN41
okok.. this is getting a little confusing... Can you elaborate a little on what steps to take?
i think you should first check the advice one post before

Ok, which means to say, when you set up your wireless router on your Leo, you are given a choice to choose which provider am I right to say? Let me check and update you guys again.. =)
I've tried changing the settings on my wireless router on my leo to the one's which my provider uses for internet, but still, no internet access on my pc.. =( Going mad trying to configure this... anyone else knows how to fix it?? =(
now you could try static ip's.
i'm not sure, if wm asks you which ip to take while configuring the wifi router.
if yes, then you can give your leo the ip 192.168.1.1 - that should be everything for your leo.
on your pc, go to the settings of your wireless lan adapter. disable ipv6. then go to ipv4 configuration. set ip to 192.168.1.2, subnetmask (is this right translated?) is automatically 255.255.255.0 - finally set as gateway 192.168.1.1
that should work...
DN41
Ok, slow down a little here.. =) So on my Leo, the only place which I can see my IP is under the Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters
and I see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter... So I'm to change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1 ??
Next would be for my notebook, where I follow as above to configure the Ip address is that right? I'll update again after I try.. =)
ALRIGHT!! You're da man!! =) Managed to connect and I'm now typing this using the connection from my Leo as the router! Great! Thanks a million DN41! =)
it's a pleasure =) have fun

Hi guys,
Since I flashed Energy Nov13 on my HD2 I've had the same problem. Previously, I would just switch on the wifi router and connect automatically from my laptop, as if with DHCP, but now DHCP isn't working.
I followed the instructions above and I CAN connect to my phone now, except I can't access the internet through it. I changed the two adapter IPs to 192.168.1.1, my laptop is 192.168.1.2 using gateway 192.168.1.1 and the connection is eastablished. However when I try to load a web page I get an "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found." in Chrome.
This sounds like a DNS misconfiguration on my HD2, but nothing about DNSes was mentioned above. I can access the internet (with Opera) from my phone while the wifi router is active, but it doesn't seem to be routing that connection,
Any thoughts? This is kind of important, though I don't think I'm going to get it working today...
Hey. My phone arrived today and so did the problems.
I have a wireless router(Asus W530G-V2). The internet runs great on my PC
Just before I went to school I could see my Wireless Network's name but I couldn't connect to it. It simply said Connecting... over and over again. The interned didn't work. Now I got home and and I can't even find the network. If I manually add it it's out of range.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.
edit: once in a while i get a weak connection (tp-link_b22866) that also doesn't work.
lol. check if ur asus router supports wireless internet. does it have an antenna or something?
Yes, it does. My sister used the wireless to use internet on her laptop.
It's possible that you could have entered the wrong password the first time, that would result in the connecting loop you mentioned, as for it not being visible I'm not sure why that would happen unless the SSID of the router is being masked, an idea might be to go to maccas and test your phone using the wifi there maybe? If nothing else connecting to another network would help us diagnose the problem.
I did a factory reset but still, the phone wouldn't see any network.
I'll try adding a wireless card to my PC and see if it receives any signal from the router.
If not, I gotta set up the router somehow.
Thanks.
check if ur router is compatible with the dd-wrt custom firmware. if its compatible flash it on ur router, it will solve all the problems.
or
try this
Small utility that allows you to adjust the transmitter power of WiFi, thus can be great help to save battery life.
Has been done 5 hard dimmer. The apartment is missing 4 or 11 dBm for normal operation. Battery consumption with this sometimes falls on the 60-100 mA.
Nope, dd-wrt is not supported
And I can't install the apk since I don't have internet access therefore I don't have Astro File Manager.
ok try this.
find out ssid broadcast name of ur router from ur sisters laptop.
ask her if its password protected. if yes, get it from her somehow.
then on ur phone do this,
Settings>Wireless & network settings> Wi-Fi settings
turn on the wifi
and select add Wi-Fi network
enter the ssid name in there.
if needed enter that damn password and save it.
voila!
I've tried that but below the network name it says "Out of range".
And my sister ain't here. I don't know if it's my phone that isn't receiving the wireless signal or if it's the router which isn't sending. I'll go later today in a place with hotspot.
Images of the router's settings. maybe there's something wrong here:
http://imgur.com/iJu8n&6TIsH&rkcJk&rKvub
maybe ur sister needs all the bandwidth and blocked ur phones mac id on the router lol
I said above that my sister isn't here now. It's only me so no one is using the wireless.
From what I can see there it's possible that the security on the network could be set to filter MAC addresses, I'm not sure if that is the problem, however at this point I'm not sure what else it could be...
Nah, it's not that.
I've messed around with it(to accepts the phone's MAC, disabled) but still won't work.
I'll go to a mall or somewhere to see if the phone's the culprit here.
Went to the local library and wifi worked smoothly. I've downloaded all the apps I needed(especially Astro file manager). So the router was the problem from the beginning.
Thanks anyway.
Well I'm glad it's not your phone that's the problem, hope you like your 01 and that you get your router working.
Hi,
can you check on which wifi channel your router sends. On my P500 I also don`t see a wifi network above channel 11.
By the way I`d like to know how to enable these channels with my Cyanogen 7.0.2 beta 6.5. I know that there must be some possibilities..

My friend has a Galaxy Player 5.0 and he can connect to other WiFi Networks(It can connect to our school's network, the public optimumwifi network, etc.) but his house's. All the computers in his house can connect to his Home WiFi. His network name shows up on the Wireless Networks list on his Galaxy Player 5.0. He tries to connect to it. He types in the right WiFi password. It says "Connecting", then "Obtaining IP Address" and then right away, it says "Disconnected". Then when he sees it on the Wireless Networks list again, below his network name, it says "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK" His router is a Belkin G Wireless 957B73 and all his computers in his house can connect to it, but his Galaxy Player. I tried to help him via Skype ShareScreen. I thought it was because of some setting on his router. I told him to go to 192.168.2.1(His Default Gateway) for the Belkin options and stuff and I don't know what to do from there. I'll keep checking thread and will try to reply ASAP to your post replies if need be.

Do you know if he has MAC filtering enabled? if he disables all security does it do the same thing?
You can have him try and clicking on "forget this network" on the droid and then try logging in again

I'm not entirely sure what MAC filtering is, but I'll do some research on that and tell him about it. I'll also tell him to try different option with the security. Thanks!

Every device has a unique identifier called a MAC address, in the security settings you can enable MAC filtering to only let on devices you have listed connect to the network. chances are he dost have it enabled (most people don't use it)

The Galaxy Player 4.0/5.0 have a ton of issues connecting to Belkin Routers for some reason (it's a known issue). What you have to do is create a static IP for the player in the advanced settings. Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings, hit the menu button and then hit Advanced.
After that select "Use static IP". Now you may have to call Samsung to help you with this part since we all have different settings, but I believe your
"IP Address"- should be set to the one that is shown above, however, the last number should be changed a number that's between 2-255 (don't use the same last number )
"Gateway"- is the IP of your default gateway. On your PC (Windows 7) go to "Network and Sharing Center" then click "Wireless Network Connection Status" after that click "Details" and Look for "IPv4 Default Gateway".
"Netmask"- most likely 255.255.225.0, or 255.255.225.1
"DNS 1"- Is the IP of your DNS Server. Again on Windows go type "Run" in the search bar, then type in "cmd" and press enter a black box should pop up. Paste this "ipconfig /all" without the quotes of course and Look at where it says "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connects:" It should be the last one and say "DNS Servers"
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-find-out-what-my-dns-servers-address-is/ (in case you don't get the DNS 1 thing.
