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.

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......

I have the same problem... ps3s and all. The only difference is my network shows up on my TP but it displays half the signal strength my laptop and my ps3s show.

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
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?
DN41
hm, I have no idea which ip I use when I'm connected to home or public. How do I check?
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..

We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Anyone? I just came back to visit my parents and my market and google apps have been working great until I got back here.. Same problem again...
Seems like for some reason you're not able to connect to Google sever on your network.

Exactly.. How can I change my router settings to allow this? I have 3 Android phones on the network, and I can't get any of the three to connect to any google apps through this network...
very frustrating!

I have not been traveling a lot lately, but went to a Rodeo this past weekend. Stayed at a Comfort Inn, and discovered a problem when attempting to access the internet through their WIFI.
On my laptop, when I connect and open the Browser I am redirected to THEIR "accept the terms" screen, and after accepting the terms I am connected to the internet.
On my GT, I connect to their WIFI, but when I open the Browser it attempts to go to my home Page (Google) and states that the page is not available. The Tablet Browser is not "redirected" to their "accept the terms" page, so I cannot access the internet.
I tried clearing the Cache, and also clearing Data, but when the Browser is opened it still attempts to open the HOME page, which it cannot do since even though connected to their WIFI, there is no internet connection.
What am I missing? Anyone else solved this problem?
Thanks for any help.

I want to bump this issue, because I have this problem as well accept on my college network.
After you connect on a PC you get redirected to the college's login page. However much like the OP on my Tab it can connect to the wifi hotspot but then not get redirected to the login page, thus no internet access.
Note: I had no problem connecting then be redirected when I had my original Galaxy Tab with Overcome, but my Tab 10.1 with Overcome fails to connect (same if running stock rom)
BUMP looking for a solution.
George
Yeah I have the same bloody hotspot issue, Apparently Market App, Wifi Tether should work/ help you sought out that issue.
Happened to me alot on the GB and HC series, But on kang's ICS I get the actual notification that I am required to log in to allow internet access
