Hello,
What kind of protection you use on the router?
Try WPA-2 password on router settings, reboot the router and try again.
I hope this helps.

i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.
Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.

This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.
Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?

Hero not recognizing wifi router

Hi all, this issue is driving me to distraction! I've changed my internet service provider and they have sent out a new router (d-link DSL- 2680) to use and since hooking everything up my Hero no longer recognizes the router i.e. I will do a wifi scan and it will display a list of all the other routers within range but my new router will not appear on the list?! So frustrating as I use my Hero as my main internet connected devise at home! Any suggestions or help would be welcome! Thankyou!

hi, did you fix this? i have the same problem
cheers
Maby your router isnt broadcasting it's SSID ??
Hello!
I'm new here as u can see. But It's funny that I got the same router DSL- 2680 with the same issue.. My Hero is running SHPONGLE v3.6 (what a great rom!) :good:
I have three laptops which are using this router with no problems at all. Hero just doesn't like the DSL?
Problem solved
What I did: Went to routers setup. --> Wi-Fi Protected setup --> tick off Enable
It's working great now. I hope this helps u a bit, stevieg73.

finally got it to work.. i had 2 modems aligned together for the internet access.

thanks y'all...

[Q] Cannot connect HTC Hero to internet

Hi All
Please don't let me down!!
Just had a Virgin Media SuperHub delivered and installed, I have a Windows XP and Windows 7 PC connected and accessing the internet via WiFi but I for love nor money I don't seem to be able to connect my Hero to the internet, it connects fine to the SuperHub but does not have any internet access. Very frustrating as you can imagine. VM Customer support were next to usless.
I can ping the phone from the hub using the settings in my browser, I can even log in to the User page on the hub from my phone, just cant access any web pages from the phone
I have looked through all the setting and cant see what I need to do. My hero is running Cyanogen Mod 7.
Please Please Please can someone help?
/Rich
Did it used to work on your previous WiFi network? Before the virgin? Also ensure that the network security code is correct and if still not working try switching to a different Rom. If still the problem persists it may just be a problem with your virgin hub. The only way around this problem I personally see is to get on giffgaffs £10 unlimited data tariff.
Hope that's helped!

It connected fine to my old router, which I bought because I had trouble connecting it to an old links one.
I have temporarily re connected the router it dose connect to, but I'm now not getting the full benefits of the new Virgin Media one.
Any ideas?

If it connected fine to your old router, it's definitely a problem with the new router. Most probably the Virgin's modem technology is far too advanced for our old hero's. You could try flashing a new Rom, that may just do the trick, although unfortunately I don't see any other way around this

That's what I was worried about. Thanks for confirming that.

Is it possible to have my Virgin router and my old router running at the same time?
Sent from my Hero using Forum Runner
If you've got two separate phone
lines then yes, although you'd need two different broadband providers too, and that'll set you back a fair bit. Waste of money tbf.

So I couldn't daisy chain the old router off the VM one?
Sent from my Hero using Forum Runner
No no certainly not, a daisy chain wouldn't work. You can't get a loop from one modem to another and expect them to function normally.. what was even wrong with your first provider and the modem to change you're mind? I'm sure virgin can fix the problem because you do say the hero identifies the network and connects but no webpages appear, and you try a different Rom?
Sent from my Hero using xda premium
Have you tried to reserve the MAC adress of your phone and provide an ip adress everytime you connect through wifi? (you can do this in your router settings - if you can acess that!).

I don't have two modems, I have the Virgin Media hub, which is a modem and router all in one and I have my old Edimax router which was connected to my old modem.
Could I run boh routers at the same time like this - my PC's would connect to the VM Super hub and then my phone would connect to the Edimax router which would be connected to one of the ports on the VM Super hub?

You can try, but I doubt you'd have much luck connecting it onto the virgy hub.
