ok i can install all fo the tether apks (obviously not all at once) and they all seem to work fine and my computer recognizes the phones network and the phone shows that its sending data to the computer when talking to it to connect but then says unidentified network no internet access. so they talk to each other but the phone isnt passing on its connection. any idea how i can fix this?
maybe some setting i need to change?
SEARCHED FOR HOURS AND NO ONE COULD FIX THIS FOR ME. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED SOME LITTLE KID WOULD NAIL IT.

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:

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..

I bought a Motorola Atrix, Andro 2.2, the U.S. imported, blocked
by AT & T, free plan. I managed to unlock it through IMEI and today
I can use any chip in it. I've made it through the root
Superoneclick and he's installing any application.
Well, before all this explanation, you may be wondering, what
the same problem? The problem is that I'm trying to route my WiFi
access the internet on my laptop (the 3G phone, which happens
TIM uses chip) and I can not connect the router.
When I enter the "Settings - Wireless Network and others - point network
WiFi (router) "it gives the following error" Account is set to point
WiFi network (router) "and asks for me to go to" att.com / mywireless. "
So I installed "Bernacle Wifi Tether" and set up as seen in a
tutorial (can not remember where now) and when I click start, there is the
following error "unexpected error occurred! Inspect the log and try
troubleshooting guide. "
Finally, I installed the "Wireless Tether," and when I did the settings
I click the wireless symbol to connect it gives error and does not open.
Given all that, I'm using you guys! I think there are some
AT & T setting that is preventing my phone to access the wifi
as a router (only the router because I can access the net in
my phone through wifi here at home normally, just can not
route it to the net my notebook). If you guys can help me,
I would be very happy indeed!
Have you tried the wifi fix for sim unlocked Atrix.?
Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible
Sent from... somewhere...
I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
OK so I have T mobile version Galaxy S 3 phone is rooted (stock ROM)
WiFi was working properly except that sometimes when I had few devices connected to my router it didn't want to connect , but I have always experienced that problem with android on my HTC Evo and My touch 4g, it seems that when you connect to a router and disconnect and another device connects the phone tries to connect using the old IP which is now used by the other device.
its annoying but biggest problem now with the S 3 is that 2 days ago the phone will connect to the router at least it shows the WiFi icon on the status bar and on the wireless and network info ( connected ) but once I try to open a web page or app like Facebook it will show no connection, Kies air doesn't even recognize that there is a WiFi connection.
I have tried looking around on this forum and on google and have seen other people with same problem but no solution at all.
any ideas anyone?
I have tried forgetting the connection, restarting phone router, modem.
and other devices including my old phones work.
If your getting the same problem with different phones then the problem must be with your router. It seem that it only allows a certain number of devices to connect to it.
No, other devices and phones are working properly, problem is only on the SG3 100% sure not router problem at all , I am thinking something about the WiFi info on the phone got corrupted or something I guess I will try factory reset and wipe everything.
Well for future references, I had to do a full wipe ( data, dalvik, cache) and its working now as intended.
anyone experiencing this problem with galaxy s3 wifi connection after I reset my device it started working again but now after a few days the issue is back, have Wifi ICon on status bar but no connection to the internet at all, this is only happening with the S3 , evo 4g , mytouch 4g, laptop and desktop work without any problems.
Ok finally found the solution without the need of resetting the device. had to use static ip on my phone...
long click network connection , modify network config, show advance options, "ip settings = static" assign an ip and if u need help finding other info as gateway, dns servers etc..
on windows run "cmd" and ipconfig /all
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I've searched and couldn't find anything that matches what I'm after.
I have a GNex running custom 4.2.2 and Windows 7 x64.
I want to be able to access my phone from my PC. To do this, I installed AirDroid. All good so far.
Issue 1: Using WiFi to access the phone, it doesn't do anything when the screen is off/the device is locked. Annoying.
Issue 2: Using USB tethering, it works fine when the screen is off, but kills my PC's internet access. Also annoying.
I would like to use USB tethering if possible, but I only want to be able to access my phone via AirDroid, not use it for internet (my PC has a much better wired connection already).
More on issue 2: Windows says the DNS server is unavailable when I troubleshoot. The moment I plug in my phone and the NDIS-thingy connection is formed, I lose internet access via my normal connection. It goes back to normal as soon as I unplug it. I've tried changing the priority of the network devices, but to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Solved my own problem.
To those who are curious:
Under network settings for the USB tether, set DNS server addresses manually, go into advanced settings, and set the default gateway to whatever your router's address is.
