I'm using LG p500 and the latest CM7 rom.
The network is up and running, other devices can see it and connect to it, and so could the phone before the rom update.
Now the phone sees other networks just fine, but not my home wireless net.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!
Check the Wi-Fi channel on the router. Set it <12
that did it...
Thanks very much!

So it seems that there is no way to connect to a non broadcasting wifi network in any of the current froyo roms. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?
I have tried hidden wifi enabler and even added it separately, but it just says out of range when its sitting right next to the wireless router. With broadcasting on it connects with no problems.

I've done it in Vegan... what encryption are you using? I know there are issues with WEP...
using wpa2 I heard rumors that tkip doesnt work with it. This correct?
I got mine to connect running stock and TNT 4.4 but it wasn't easy. I intially went into wifi setting and "add a network" typed in the SSID (not being broadcast) and password (WPA2/TKIP) and it would find the network but not connect. I did some searches and found various suggestion but none worked.
After a lot of failed attempts I got frustrated and turned off wifi on the tablet and then turned it back and suddenly it connected with no problems. It may have been a one off thing but couldn't hurt to try it.

Ill give this a try and see what happens. But I am not getting my hopes up.
Just out of curiosity.....
What's the point of connecting to non-broadcasting router?
It's like turning on WiFi in the middle of desert?
JMO.....
turn on ssid bdcst. connect then turn bdcst off.

If your wireless router doesn't broadcast it's SSID, others can not attempt to access it.
My Stock 3588 connects fine
I have a non broadcasting router in my home and stock 3588 on my gtab. Did the connection once when I bought the tab and it has been connecting just fine for couple months now!

So not even close to true
Using a non-broadcast SSID as a security measure is probably the weakest (well...next to no encryption at all) method available.

Using a Linux PC, I can see ALL available wireless APs with this command:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 scan
Hiding the SSID is not even considered to be a security option, it is that poor. Save yourself some trouble and let it broadcast the SSID.
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..

Hi guys, do you having a problem with wifi connection?
I just discover the problem yesterday. 1st I found that my phone could not connect with router which setup to 13 channel. Since I cannot do anything with this router, nevermind it's ok.
Then I setup ad-hoc wifi at my lappy so that I can connect through lappy which is wired to internet. What the heck, my phone also cannot detect the wifi signal.
I have another phone, LG Optimus One which can connect successfully to the ad-hoc wireless.
So I've installed WiFinder app. That app can detect the ad-hoc wireless but cannot connect.
While this app is trying to connect, I went to wifi setting but it did not detect the signal.
After that I've created wifi hotspot at my LG and the Neo can detect and connect.
What has happened to this phone/firmware/kernel?
I also browsed other forum and somebody also got this problem.
Android doesn't support ad-hoc.
Try resetting your router, in my experience, the problem is caused by the router most of the time.
Is it true Android doesn't support ad-hoc wireless? But why my LG optimus one can detect and use the ad-hoc wireless?
BTW, It's a shared network and I don't have a privileged to reset/modify the router.
My Neo can't connect to an ad-hoc network, just tried it.
Maybe this works? I didn't try it yet.

Yes, I've gone through the net and stock android doesn't support ad-hoc.
From the reading, what I've got is inside wpa_supplicant there is ap_scan setting.
Suppose stock condition is 'ap_scan=0' but if change it to 'ap_scan=1' or 'ap_scan=2' will make the phone see ad-hoc wireless. Will try it later either it will connect with connection or not.

So your Optimus One wasn't on stock ROM?
Nop, my optimus one is running on CM7.
But I've found a solution to this problem. By using a repetear bridge(dd-wrt) and access point, I repeat the wifi and bridge it with AP.
Create another wifi at the AP and Neo can connect it successfully.

Which device are you referring to? Neo? Optimus One?
Anyone else have this problem? I can no longer see my Open Garden or WiFi tether tried both apps from phone my prime will no longer see it as available wireless network.... i know my phone tether is working because my laptop sees it fine... even tried to change my SSID and it still will not find it.... the oddest thing is that it still sees my in home wifi network and other neighbors wifi networks..... anyone have any idea how to totally refresh or reset the primes network settings?
THIS IS RIDUCLOUS I AM ABOUT TO RETURN THIS ****

Hey guys,
Wasnt sure where to post this. Have a question regarding wifi conection settings. I was on omega v34 and everything was fine. My phone connected to all wifi networks I wanted it to. I updated to v35 of the rom and now I have a strange problem.
My phone still connects to my house wifi and work wifi, but refuses to connect to my parents wireless. Ive reset their router, changed the password and removed the settings for the network on my phone. When I refresh and attempt to connect to it all I get is "authenticating" and then it will give up. It is a BT home hub and the strange thing is that my phone will connect to the 'free wifi' BTwifi-with-FON and the BTwifi, but not the proper network zone BTHub3-T2G6. Its incredibly annoying.
Are there any hidden settings in my phone that may have the wrong settings for the network in it?
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Just turned the security off on the network and the phone connects fine. I dont understand why the security key would cause problems as it connected before the update and the settings havent changed.
