This is a bit of a strange request but I've managed to forget the wifi password on my router. I connected to it before with my HD2 so I've got the network key saved on it. However when I go through the advanced settings and go to the Configure Wireless Network, it only shows asterisks in the Network Key box. Is there anyway of finding out what the key is on the HD2 withou having to go into the router settings?
Thanks

Hi,
My Athena runs WM6 with ROM 2.21.405 and Radio 1.50
Activation of WIFI in COM Manager => OK
Connection to WIFI access point => OK
Get IP address => OK
Open web link on IE => NOT OK with error "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again"
Doing a soft reset doen't help
I tried accessing the Internet from my PC through the same WIFI access point and it works fine. The router/WIFI gateway is from EDIMAX
Thanks a lot for your help

Try - Start, settings, connections, wifi, network adaptors tab.
Under 'My network card connects to' ensure it says 'The Internet' and not 'Work'.
Pantaloonie,
It says "The Internet" and not "Work" so the problem does not come from here.
If am not wrong, you need to check
Start/Settings/Connections/Wi-Fi/ click and hold on to your network name/Edit/Next
does your Authentication in Athena match your router setting?
In Athena, there are few choices,
Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK
Normally Open is selected, otherwise set your router to match.
pdajoy,
WIFI is not secure, there is no WEP encryption. Authentication is set to "Open" on the Athena but it doesn't work.
Thanks
Is your network name shown in Configure Wireless Networks page?
If yes, then tap on it, should brings you to next page,
If your network name hidden, tick the option box, otherwise blank,
Leave Device to device connection un-ticked, Next
Authentication: Open, stay,
Try -Data Encryption, WEP
Try -Key is automatically provided, tick and un-tick, Next, Finish, Connect.
Correct selection for the above is important.
If still unsuccessful,
you may need to verify your Athena with other available unsecure wireless link.
Since Yesterday my wifi hasnt been working. It just randomly stopped connecting and im not sure why. It askes me for my network code and when i type it it (exactly how it is) it says network key incorrect and wont work. and when im at my friends house whhere there is no need for a network key, it says that IE cannot display the page. Also it keeps trying to dial out verizon broadband when my wifi switch is on. Isnt it not supposed to do that?
Just because the Wifi switch is on does not mean the wireless is enabled. Have you tried using the connection management button (the one just below the power button) to bring up the connectons screen nd make sure that WLAN is enabled and it's not in flight mode or anything.
Also go to Start > Settings >Connections > Wireless LAN
Check the MAIN Tab.. you should see all the fields filled in and a signal Quality Meter.
The ADVANCED Tab will show your IP and Status..
That should help you determine if you are really are connected.
yes my wifi is enabled in the connections manager. and in the settings it does not show that i am connected to a network.
when you search for wireless networks, do you SEE yours? or are you entring it manually?
yes i see mine. It pops up to notify me and asks for my Network key. and when i enter it it tells me its wrong but i know its not beacause i was looking right at the linksys network on my home computer.
I seem to remember there being an issue with WPA keys at some point.
Try removing the security from the access point... then try to connect. (I'm not suggesting this as a perminent fix, just to see if it's a problem connecting, or a problem with the encryption. Turn the Security back on after the test.)
I know you tested at a friends.. but try this anyway. If you can connect ok, then you have an encryption issue... if you still cant, you have an issue with the wireless itself.
what ROm / Radio do you have?
What kind of security do you use? WEP? / WPA-PSK?
How Long is your key?
Yes i think its my encryption becasue i went to work today (A campground) and connected to their unsecured network right away. My friends internet is always messed up anyway.
I am using DCD 3.2.5 ROM
and radio 3.42.50
Its a WEP Encryption and the code is 10 characters long
Hi All,
I'm trying to connect my GS3 to my corporate wi-fi, after it connected I went in to the advanced options and tried to add a proxy server. However no matter what I type in, the "Save" button remains inactive, as soon as I change the proxy setting back to none, it becomes active again.
Anybody have an idea how to change/save proxy settings w/o rooting?
Much appreciated!
Just got my TS and my work's wifi is hidden. Anyone know how the hell to connect to it?!

well, you need to know the wifi's SSID and password. You open wifi menu, on the lower right corner there is a + sign. There you can enter a new network.
Just to add that if anyone else cannot find that + sign like me, in the wifi menu (where it lists all wifi networks), swipe from the left to bring up the menu and "Add Network" option is in there.
My home wifi network SSID is hidden but I initially connected the TS to it by unhiding it temporarily. But after a reboot, TS wouldn't automatically connect to the network (saying that it's not in range). Proper way is what is mentioned above, to use the "Add Network" option (and not temporarily unhiding the wifi network).

I got a new router so I have to change the password of the wireless access point I have. When I added it the first time, it added but didn't let me change the password for the wi-fi, and now whenever I try to connect, it won't. How do I change the password for it? I've tried connecting to it, I went to settings and the only option was advanced which just gives an option to make it a static IP address, no options to change the password. I also tried forgetting it, but it'll just pop up again and not allow me to enter any passwords.
maybe?
Assuming this *new* router supports this function, have you tried wps button setup? If not go to the settings/wifi on ur phone and forget network. Then press the menu button in the same place and shouls see wps pin entry etc. Chose whatever suits ur router
Hope this helps

Select the wifi connection name and long press it.
You should get a menu with "forget network" and "modify network config" options.
Modify network option, should allow you to change the password.
