I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.
So here is one to ponder... #MyStreak doesn't automatically connect to my home wifi. It appears to only be my home wifi. Advanced settings > WiFi Sleep Policy is set to Never. It comes up and says Disconnected. Pre-StreakDroid 1.6 I had to toggle the wifi on and off several times, most of the time it would just get stuck "Obtaining IP Address". 1.6 and the new AMS seems to have fixed that, but it still doesn't auto-reconnect to my home wifi... Typical senario, I'm at home and connected to wifi, leave to go to the store for milk, come back home, wifi disconnected. Weird yes? Cisco WRT320N.

The fix is to replace /system/bin/dhcpcd with version 4.0.1 from this post:

I can't seem to connect to wifi. The phone keeps cycling between connecting, Obtaining IP address and Disconnected.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?
Are you connecting to a WPA enabled router? I've had issues on my Droid with certain routers (D-Link for one)... If I switch the router to WEP, it will connect fine.
For a phone to not support WPA is pretty lame. I picked up the TB today but I am at work. Hopefully it will connect to my home wifi network, I will update you on my results!
Had a similar problem on one of my TBolts...power cycle resolved it.
I can log onto my WPA network with no issues. Maybe bad password?
Well, I do use WEP and it will not connect. I turned off WEP just to see and it connects fine when I leave the network open.

Mine seems to be working fine, just connected to home network - I don't get a wireless icon up in the notification bar, but it goes green on my toggle.
Basically, the problem is I can't connect to my home WiFi initially when powering up my Gtablet. It can see my network but when I try to connect it just says Obtaining IP address and eventually doesn't work. If I restart my router I can connect no problem, but if I turn off or restart my Gtablet It will not connect.
So basically I have to restart my router if I want to connect to my Gtablet.
I'm running CWM 8 and Vegan Gingerbread 7.0 harmony
My router is netgear, I can check the model if it's necessary.
Everything works fine except this internet problem.
Hello. I bought htc explorer 2 days ago.. It seems to have some troubles in its wifi. I have a tp-link wireless router. It shows the signals just for a second and then doesn't show the wifi signals of my router.So i can't connect to it. My phone is unrooted. It can connect to other wifi but it doesnot connect to a tp-link router. I have even changed the settings of wifi router and wifi of phone but it still doesn't connect. Can anyone please help me with this matter ?
