Greetings!
At my office, we have router that is configured to filter mac addresses for other co-workers laptops and such, but i can't find MAC address on my s740 so i can'l log on to network... How can i obtain mac, or, give me some other hint how to connect to that wireless network?
Switch on your phones wlan, then in connection manager press right softbutton -> wifi settings (3) -> connection status (2); there you will find ur phones mac address.

thanks!
hi,
I've linksys wi-fi router model WRT54GH in my home & it has a good amount of signal strength to cover entire area.
My recently bought galaxy S2 is able to identify linksys wi-fi access point & connects too with the IP assigned to it, also at wi-fi settings connected being displayed.
Now when I try to access Internet (any url google/FB), it doesn't connect at all.
I tried almost everything about router configuration, restart etc. but with no success
can someone plz help on this ?

In my case the problem was with frozen "WiFi sharing" in combination with juicy defenders "Location" fearure. It seems such combination is dangerous. Solutin (in my case):
1. defroze
2. remove all wifi networks
3. reboot (for "clean" frozing)
4. make WiFi sharing frozen
5. reboot again just for fun
Try to check your router's MAC address restrictions. In my router, as security, I have to add MAC addresses of each device to share internet. They take IP's, connects etc. but does not have accesses to internet
as above, check that there is no MAC filtering set up.
one other thing it may be is the security settings, if you have a WEP Key to access the router it may need the Hex conversion of your key depending on what level of security you have (64bit or 128bit for example)

Try setting up a static IP address for your phone, I presume your network is a 192.168.1.0, go into router settings and LAN setup, give your phone the address in a static DHCP assignment of 192.168.1.5, or any other address in the same subnet your in. Some SGSII's have problems with dynamic DHCP for some reason, some NS had the same problem too,

I have a similar problem and I fix mine temporarily by turning my wifi off, then in wifi settings > advanced, I change wifi sleep policy from 'never' to 'only when the screen is off'. However I have to do this every time I want to use wifi so it can become quite annoying sometimes.
So I can get through however only for a short period of time as it seems as long my Galaxy S2 keeps turning off my wifi even though it's on :/
I had exactly the same issue on Linksys E4200 with my laptop, could connect to network, even to router's attached storage, but not to internet. Restart helped
On SGS2, I couldn't connect to the router at all at first, but fixed this by switching from WPA2/WPA mixed mode access protocol to WPA2 private. But I guess this is not exactly your issue.

Yes, you are right this is not an issue for me.
In fact my SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
Also at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.

My SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
So I think IP addressing may not be an issue.
Also another thing I tried was, at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.
So wi-fi router may not be an issue here, whats say ???
Even I am facing the same issue at my office network. I am able to connect to the wireless network but if I try to access any app I cannot browse. This is really frustrating looks like some issue with the modem drivers.
I was able to browse on another wifi created virtually by mobile tethering. This looks like a major bug with the current firmware. Another interesting thing to note is that the Wifi network has a hidden SSID and uses WPA2 auth scheme.
I have seen a Galaxy S able to connect to the same n/w without any issues.
Has anyone figured out a solution to this one ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I am yet to figure out a solution for this
Even I am also agree on the probable issue with modem driver.
I've D-link modem.
Are you aware of anything about this modem that can be reconfigured to get this worked ... ?? pl let me know
The wifi router at my office is Cisco Aironet 1200 Series, anyone else facing this issue ?
I'm having the same problem at work connecting my SGS2 with v2.3.3 Official Firmware (customized for Orange service provider) to a Cisco Aironet 1130 AP. I can see that the Galaxy authenticates with the AP correctly and gets IP from the DHCP server, but it cannot send or receive any traffic, although the phone stays connected and authenticated. At home, I use an Atheros based Fonera with DD-WRT without any problem.
As I'm the company's network administrator, I will try to further investigate this problem, but it seems like some kind of incompatibility between the devices or misconfiguration ....

try turn off the wifi, turn off the mobile data and turn on the wifi again
It seems the SGS2 sometimes has problems with DNS.
Try a static IP and use 8.8.8.8 as second DNS server, which is a free Google DNS server.
This fixed MY problems
I rooted my SGS2 and voila wifi worked at my office finally I have been able to find a solution.. love my SGS2 the Beast...
I'm having this same problem..
I think I've tried all the solutions above, but one (Sorry - noob question):
Rooted?
is there a firmware patch or something that I should know about?
Anyone got any other ideas?
ETA:
I can connect to hotspots (DHCP) and at home (Have to set it to static tho)
No internet
AP works - Laptop and i8910 (had to set static and advanced settigs etc). I've rebooted it a few times, set DHCP on and off. DHCP seems to be running on the router

This is an issue with SGS2 with wifi server using authentication protocol TPIK, if you use AES as encryption then it will work without any issues.
That should be a setting in my AP? I can't see it...
If I get a new non-crappy AP is that likely to solve my problem?
ETA:
Ah - that's a WPA thing? Mine only seems to do WEP - is that right?
Hi
I just got my SGS2 today and tested it with a friend. He had wireless and everything was working over there. When I came home, I couldn't connect to my wifi. I always get 'obtaining ip address'...
I've been searching whole night and I haven't been able to solve the problem.
I can connect to my wifi when I enable the dhcp server, but then I can't access the internet anymore.
Network setup:
Modem -> Switch -> Wireless Switch
I get my ip address directly from my provider (Telenet - Belgium). I've no router at home and it works with every device, except for the GS2S.
Someone experience with this? Is there another way then to buy a new router?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have near been driven to madness by this problem so im admitting defeat and opening it up to all and everyone.
Very quick history - I have weak signal on the top floor of my house, so i purchased a TP LINK WR702N mini router. I have set this up as a wireless repeater on the top floor, and for the majority of my devices it works great. On my sisters windows laptop, my girlfriends iPhone and iPad, they all see the network, connect with full strength and receive 54Mbps. On all of these devices, I can enter 192.168.1.254 and reach the repeaters settings page, or enter 192.168.1.1 and reach my main router (downstairs) settings page. This suggests to me that everything works fine.
When i connect with an android device (either my Nexus 10 or my samsung galaxy S2) the moment they pick up the strong repeater signal - they lose internet connection. The are connected with 100% and 54Mbps speed to the repeater - but they cannot access the web. I can bring up 192.168.1.254 for the repeater, but they will not access 192.168.1.1 for the main router - I believe this is the problem.
I have tried changing the settings on my main router - I have changed the whole network from WPA to WEP encryption, to no avail
I have changed the android advanced wifi settings, changing to fixed IP on both of the android devices and setting the default gateway and DNS to be 192.168.1.1
I turned off my devices, reset the main router, then turned on the repeater - this appeared to fix the problem - but when i turned the repeater on last night I couldnt get internet access, so i retried this step and it didnt work
as a note, all of the devices on my network have a fixed IP set from my main router - these correspond to the fixed IPs on my android devices.
I have spoke to Google and TP Link supprt, each blame the other, and now I really dont know what to do.
Thanks

Make sure your devices do not send out, nor honour, ICMP redirects. Since your are running both on the same subnet, there's a possibility your repeater sends out an ICMP redirect once your Android device addresses the main router, since it IP topological is a closer way talking directly.
Or, use different subnets.
Sharing 3G/4G Internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP connected with Android mobile phone via WiFi HOTSPOT or USB LAN or 3G/4G USB modem datacard , and then use the wireless Wifi router as a WiFi access point for the other devices.
1) Setting up the router
Router WAN will not be connected to any modem, *** NOTHING ON ROUTER WAN PORT (NO INTERNET VIA PPPoE DSL , STATIC OR DYNAMIC IPs) but it will made to act as Access Point for "sharing" the shared internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP.
First, one needs to access the wireless Wifi router's configuration settings, usually one need to connect the Wifi router, and then access its setup page either over WiFi network, or by plugging it to desktop or laptop in 1 of its 4 LAN ports. setup page is accessible by entering the router's IP address 192.168.1.1 on IE address bar or some other browser like Firefox etc. however consider your router's manual to see how to get to the settings. Ideally, resetting the wireless Wifi router and then following its setup guide would best way start off.
Once on Wireless Wifi router's settings do the following:
a) Enable the Wifi connection. It should be enabled by default, but some routers require you to manually enable it.
b) Secure your network. Under security options, there should be a way for you to specify a password for your new wireless network. Here you will have multiple options, probably WEP, WPA and WPA2. Set up either WEP or WPA/WPA2 security. WPA2 would be best if your router supports it. Consider having a look at the router's manual for that.
c) Disable DHCP. Look for a setting that says something about automatic addressing (or "DHCP"). Which is enabled by default, disable it – ****this is most important!
d) Connect the router to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP. The LAN port of Desktop should be connected to 1 out of router's 4 LAN ports via RJ45 cable. Wireless Wifi router will have one WAN internet Modem port at the back designated only for modems, as mentioned above do not use connect anything to this port so-called WAN port.
Once above steps are done Wireless Wifi router is all set.
2) Enable connection sharing
• Now if you have 3G/4G dongle data card then insert it into USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate your “3G modem” connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected via Android mobile HOTSPOT to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections", locate Wifi adapter e.g. "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" connection connected to Android mobile HOTSPOT
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to shared it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or if you two wifi wireless adapter card then share it over 2nd Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
Once done you are all set to rock the network by connecting other Desktops/PCs/NOTEBOOKs/LAPTOPs/Android/windows/Apple/blackberry’s phones and other devices to Wifi wireless router Access point that you had set up. Your devices should acquire an IP address and be able to connect to the internet with any issues. Windows will lease out more than just one address when using windows ICS!
