my x10 (android 2.3.3, previously 2.1) refuses to connect to my home's wifi. i will click connect, and it will say 'connecting...' stay like that for a while, and then eventually will appear 'disconnected'. i don't believe it is the router, as the following things in my household connect to the wifi effortlessly:
- my brother's iphone 4
- my HP laptop
- my brother's toshiba laptop
- my 3rd gen. ipod touch
my old dell laptop connected to it, fine, also.
i am able to connect to my university's wifi without any problems, too, so i really don't know why it doesn't seem to like my home wifi. i have tried 'forgetting' the network, re-entering the password, i've done a hard reset, i've taken the battery out and put it in back in. there is no avail.
does anyone have a clue of what could be causing this?

Restart your router, turn it off for about roughly 10 seconds, and also you might want to check if there is an IP limit to your router. Or simply try inputting the IP settings manually if either of those fail.
Try updating your routers firmware.
My x10 is a funny beast with wifi as this example shows
At my workplace they use exactly the same model and type of router throughout the building, purchased at the same time. However, due to some of the routers being updated and some not my x10 only picks up the routers with tha latest firware. The others it doesnt even see....
A very strange problem that even my friends in the IT department are confused about, but it goes to show how fickle the x10 is with wifi routers

hello
i was so looking forward to getting my new x10 mini pro only to find a few faults some of which i can live with until 2.1 comes out (should really be 2.2 & sooner) but i cannt seem to connect to my wireless router.
i have tried several different methods, including going through all the wireless channels on the router, enable mac address filter and have only my x10 set, try all the differents security settings - but still i cannot get my phone to obtain an ip address before it gives me the unsuccessful message.
so went to mcdonalds tried their openzone and connected fine to their network.
now my next guess would be is my router is old (about 4 years maybe more) linksys WRT54GS so anyone know of any problems with specific routers at all?
i know i had problems setting up my godsons ipod touch with my router, but didnt dig any deeper on it as he wasnt fussed about it at the time - so think it could be that but will hold off rushing out to get a new router for a while yet, probably to test some other peoples routers first.
Is you SSID hidden?
I have found that on some routers, Android phones in general won't connect if the SSID is hidden.

The WRT54GS should be a perfect router to use.
Make sure you are running latest dd-wrt firmware on it, setup wifi security as : WPA2 Personal Mixed, TKIP+AES
I have these settings and phone connects easily.
Its a good router, do as above poster advised and definitely get latest firmware on. Try going on just G mode if there's no B-only old wifi gadgets in your house.

I noticed my wife's X10 mini won't connect to Channels 12 and 13. If your router is on one of those channels, try moving it to 11.
I have difficulties connecting to my wifi router at home, SMC Barricade N2, WPA2 authentication, it works only after resetting the router.
Now after turning off TKIP cypher suite (only AES), it works perfectly
update: and also helped to enable static IP... but I am using wifi only @home
Had the same problem. Changed to Channels 11 and detected imediatly my wifi network.
Hi, I have a different problem with the wifi.
At work and some other connections I've seen to have an open wifi, which i can freely connect.
However, I am still unable to browse the internet as it requires some browser authentication.
I've seen other fones (Nokia and Iphone) have their browsers popup a webpage to input the credentials.
but my mini pro doesn't display this page.
i've already tried going directly to the login url manually but still doesn't display the login page.
someone told me that this might be a limitation of android but haven't seen any reports about it...
i also saw and tried 2 apps (Open Wifi Login and Browser Wifi Login) that should have solved this but did not.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Help please....

Hi just received my GTablet and have installed ClockworkMod v08. Next, I am attempting to install the TNT Lite Rom but I am having trouble connecting to my home router.
The response I keep getting when trying to connect is to the point of "Obtaining IP address.." then it disconnects. I am sure it's not the wireless router but just to be eliminate possibilities, I've even switched off all the security with connect to the router, but the sames results. It keeps trying to re-connect. I can easily connect with my other PCs and printers.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hello there,
did you ever solve your wifi problem, I am currently running the latest TnTlite, and this just started happening to me as well. It just hangs in Obtaining Ip then it disconnects.... I have never had this problem before in fact was online on the tab last night, now it seems i cannot connect... I will see if I can connect in another location hope nothing happened to the Tab..... BTW I tried restarting as what was suggested but that did nothing for me also....
Are you broadcasting your SSID?
Can you take the tablet somewhere else and try connecting at a Star Bucks, or a library, or something. See if it connects ok there?
Also, if it doesn't connect anywhere. Try flashing a different ROM to see if it is just that one.
I've had the same problem. I do not seem to be able to connect to any wifi that is encrypted with WPA. At work, we are WPA and I cannot connect at all. At home, I have WEP and can connect. I thought it might be something with the wifi settings on the tab, and have searched and searched and cannot find anthing.
By the way, this is my third tab and none of them could connect to a WPA encrypted router. The first two I returned as defective. IF there is an answer, I would love to hear about it.
Also, this is my first android device. I have been messing with Windows phones for a long time...thanks to the great people on this site.
Sorry to hear about your wifi problems. Just to let you know my experiences, I've (in the week I've owned my tablet) run TnT, VegaN and cyanogen (latest of each) and have never had a problem connecting to my home wifi - I do not broadcast my SSID at all and use WPA2/PSK encryption. You both mention WPA - can either of you try WPA2/PSK?
But on saying all of that, if you can't even connect to your wifi point without any security involved, it sounds either:
1) Hardware - faulty tablet but you said you're on your third so that sounds unlikely. Remember, while the tablet supports wifi G/N it does so over 2.4Ghz so if you have a router that only does 5Ghz or is set to work exclusively over 5Ghz, your router will not see your tablet
2) Software related - Have you reflashed your kernel at all? Did you possibly install a kernel (not rom) that does not have wifi drivers installed or something similar?
I hope something above might help you....
I was never able to connect to the wireless router. I shut all the security off, reset the router, rebooted the tablet but still the same results, "obtaining IP address" then it fails and tries again. I could connect to my neighbors Linksys so I know the tablet wifi is ok. I also so know that the router was ok since it had been serving my other PCs & printers for a number of years. It just wouldn't connect to each other.
The problem still persists.

You didn't answer in your response above, is your router a 5Ghz router or 2.4Ghz? Could the frequency of your router be causing your problem here? Remember the tab only supports 2.4Ghz frequencies
1. if your tablet can connect to your neighbor's router, then problem lies between your router and the tablet.
2. is your router a linksys? what wireless router are you trying to use?
3. are you using mac address filtering? is dchp enabled on the router or by some sort of home server?
4. your tablet can see your router, but for some reaon they cant agree on how to talk to each other. i'm on a linksys wrt54gsv4 and havent had a problem, not with default settings or wpa2 or mac filtering or the custom firmware i eventually installed on it (ddwrt), tomato)

You are ATTEMPTING to install TnT ROM? You dont need the Internet connection, just sideload it then install. Am i Right?
Then after you install the TnT rom, sideload also the Kernel TnT base with wifi fix.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Something else occurs to me out of pure ignorance. I'm not sure how Android stores profile information. But I know with both mac and windows I've had occasion where "forgetting" the network and letting the device rediscover it has solved problems.
It sounds like you've been down that road already. However, it does bear asking. It's the more obvious things we often forget to consider.
Well it looked like the tablet needed to be reset a couple of times as i was just online with it... now the tab just froze, shut off and now i cannot turn it on... off to another thread to see what to do now... god i hope this thing is not bricked....any suggestions on what is a good thread would be appreciated... off i go.......

Try to hold the power button for a long time and maybe it may turn back on. Before doing your last resort (disecting the tablet).
I had a problem with my wifi going into loops when I first got the unit. It would show it connecting/disconnecting/connecting/etc as described in the first post.
I had another router (both the same makes - Linksys WRT54G but different model numbers) so I tested the other router and I connected fine. I haven't gone back to test the first router yet and I am using the 2nd one.
The router I couldn't connect to has DD-WRT micro on it, and I haven't had problems connecting other wireless devices to. The one that is working fine with the g-tablet now has Tomato on it (it is a lower version number which supported Tomato).
Too bizarre... I now have this problem.
I received my gtablet today and installed clockwork mod recovery and vegan-tab ginger RC 1. Or, essentially, I followed the instructions here and got everything working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Wifi worked fine until the evening. Wifi is on, and in the settings under the SSID of my wifi network, it says Obtaining IP address for a minute until it says Disabled, network in range. I've done some common trouble shooting, like restarting, turning wifi off and on, forgetting the network and reentering password. That didn't work. My cell phone has a mobile hotspot feature and the gtablet CAN join that. I wonder what gives... I hope someone can help.
(This could be just coincidence, but it's about when I powered up my desktop computer. The desktop connects to the internet through a DMZ router that has a wired connection to the wifi router in another room. The desktop is now off and the gtablet still has this problem.)
Ok. Resetting my router fixed it. I never thought that my router could just "dislike" one particular device. I thought for sure something had to be wrong with the device. Forgive my ignorance!
G Tablet Wifi
I do not transmit my SSID and this has never been a problem with any of our laptops or netbooks. When I first received my G Tab and tried to connect to my network, even though I had entered the SSID and Passphrase correctly, it still would not connect. As soon as I set my wireless router to transmit the SSID the G Tab connected without any problems.
This is the first time I've encountered a problem of this nature. Comments?
This is what worked for me. I posted this in a similar thread as well.
Hey, I had WiFi connection issues too. I just got a Viewsonic G-Tablet with the Android 3.0 OS and have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. It could see router and would try to connect, but would cycle and never connect. I could try to connect to other available networks in the area. It connected fine to an unsecure network, and when I tired to connect to secure networks there was a place where I could enter a network key/password. However, I noticed this option was not available on my network when I tried to connect. I reset my router which did not help. I then chose the option to add a network on the tab. This worked!! I was able to enter the key from the add a network option. I then told the "bad" connection to be forgotten. Hope this helps someone else, as I had looked on the internet for awhile for an answer. I was about to buy a new wireless router too!! Oh, I am using WEP too.
edit: ok when I power my tablet back on the same issue was happening. This time I could enter a network and the cycling still contiuned. I even forgot and re-entered the network. The fix this time was to reboot the tab. However, my internet has been acting up lately so IDK.
Sometimes when I wake my nook from sleep it wont connect to my wifi.
When i go to my Wireless settings, it shows that my WIFI is On but it it does not detect any networks(there are over 10 wifi networks in range (apt building)).
I go to turn wifi off and it grays out and I get a message that says "Unable to stop Wifi".
The tablet locks up and reboots. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have seen this once or twice. A router reboot can help a little, but it hasn't been enough of a problem for.me that I've tried to do anything else. All of my Android devices have had problems with my router now and again.
I dont think its my router. Ive got 3 Android phones, A kindle fire, 1 Asus Transformer, multiple laptops, Xbox 360's, wii and multiple IOS devices hooked up to my network and none of them have complained about my wifi being busted. The nook tablet is the only one doing this. My first nook tablet did do this at all. I am wondering if this one has a defective WIFI chip
Yes, I have this same problem on my home wifi.
But in my office, everything is ok.
I have had the same issue. I just reboot the NT. It happened this morning, it was charging overnight with the low battery warning comming on last night before charging. Perhaps that may have something to do with it. I'll try to see if it's on it's charger next time it happens.
I had issues with mine doing that somewhat often. It would even happen during use. I was non rooted with a couple of sideloaded apps. Finally I got fed up and took it in. They swapped me out for a new one and I've had zero issues since.
I was lucky in that both me and my wife got these and I had a point of reference. Her tablet had no wifi issues while mine did. That was what led me to believe there was a problem with mine.
If you keep having the issue, you might want to think of getting it replaced.
WiFi problems only on one router.. Connected - No internet.
The WiFi on my Rooted Nook tablet works great at home, at in-law's, at parents, at neighbors houses. But at church it would find the signal and accept the password then said - "Connected - But no internet". It had full bars. The IP address was some generic number with mostly zero's. I had access to two different iPhones at the time and they both worked and connected to the internet with appropriate sequential IP addresses. I rebooted the D-Link router and my Nook Tablet with the same results. Any Ideas??

Me thinks that your deity doesn't like the idea of you rooting B&N's device.
What are the IP addresses of the other devices, the NT doesn't like nonstandard network protocols.
NT reboot required to get WiFi working
I purchased two Nook Tablets for my kids. Both are rooted using Snowball-mod. Both typically work well, but then refuse to connect to my home wireless network after some time. I have several other laptops and PCs connected to the same WiFi network with no issues. Only the Nook Tablets are unable to connect (after several hours of use). Rebooting the Nook Tablet always solves the problem... until it happens again. I have not found a patter to this yet (i.e. what might be triggering the WiFi to stop operation). If anyone find a solution to this issue, I would love to know what is found.
Several of us have found WiFi will lock out when the device is in sleep mode. Killing WiFi prior to sleep seems to stop this mysterious behavior, for me anyway.
Swyped from my rooted BNTV250 using Tapatalk
Is it known whether a un-modified ("stock" B&N NT) also requires WiFi to be disabled before entering sleep mode? If this is not an issue with an un-modified Nook Tablet, then perhaps this issue can be corrected soon.
Hi all,
The NT does not support Channels above 11 on WiFI networks...so if you router is on Auto-mode, it might choose a channel higher than that...and puff...no net...
Also, I had a Netgear Router which had some WPA2 incompatiblities with my both my Blackberry and my NT. Flashing the Router's firmware, also solved my problem.
Hope my experience is helpful.....
Cheers,
Gizmo
Gizmo, thanks for the suggestions but I do not think this is a router channel issue. What is happening is that the NT WiFi seems to lock-up (possibly driver issue). Bringing up Settings and tapping to turn off WiFi results in a grayed-out WiFi toggle (not "Off" but inactive). Attempting to touch WiFi again after this produces a message similar to "WiFi is not responding" (I don't remember the exact message now). My routers are set with fixed channels 1 and 6 as well.
Hi, I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble getting WIFI to work on my NT. The thing is: it only works disabling the password on my home network! But I want to maintain a secure connection... Can someone helpe me? Thanks in advance!
waking the wifi
Don't know if I'm late or not, but I actually found a resolution to this issue by downloading an app from the Google Play store called Wifi Manager. It's free and as soon as you launch it, it'll instantly re-wake and reconnect your wifi within less than 1 second. It's not intended for that use but it helps big time!
So I know wifi in android is buggy, this isn't a question about that.
My Touchpad won't connect to my wireless network at work. (in webOS or android) It always fails the IP configuration part. My android phone connects fine, and my laptop, and my iPad.
Kind of kills the usefulness of the tablet for me. Wondering if I should call up HP before my 90days are up.
Thanks in advance
I have had no issues with webOS 3.0.2 or 3.0.4 at work or home (and I run a number of access points at both locations). Always connects by itself everytime. Too early to tell with 3.0.5 but no issues so far.
Have you tried other routers? It could be just some issue with your router. Have you tried to manually assign an IP, I know you can in android.

It connects to my home network fine, just not the work one. Tried manually assigning an IP and that didn't work in either OS. Going to install the update to webOS and see if that fixes things.
As poster above mentioned, corporate/work networks seem to be the only thing that webOS MIGHT not play well with occasionally. I've gotten it to successfully connect to my work's 802.1x EAP network. It actually worked quite well, but then sometimes it stumbles a bit before connecting.
For the most part though, webOS wifi works just fine. Of course, this is because HP dev'd it with the drivers they have, that we DONT have, and most likely will never have.
Wifi now connects on both OS's after updating webOS to 3.05

It hasn't before for you? I'm curious about your experience.
The deal with Wifi in android is multi-faceted:
1. Accessing the wifi options sometimes crashes the thing, and you have to force close the settings app and try again.
2. With Wifi on, the wifi menu can be quite sluggish
3. A lot of times, it wont even scan for networks. It just says disconnected for ages, or will eventually scan, then try to connect, but never get past "Acquiring IP address".
4. A lot of times it will randomly lose its connection, yet still indicate that it's connected just fine. A toggling of the wifi usually fixes this, but also starts you at square 1 with attempting to connect to an AP. For some people, this process can be a nightmare.
5. Some people simply cannot connected to their secured network at all. Period.
Are you experiencing any of these issues still?

Before update:
never had any problems with wifi at all, except it just wouldn't connect to either of my two networks at work in either OS. Neither OS could get past the IP config stage. Tried manually assigning IPs in both OS's but that accomplished nothing. Home 5ghz network zero issues.
After update:
Instant connection, no issues.
Hi,
I have recently bought a NATPC M009s with ICS on it. I'm completely new to android!
I'm having problems getting it to connect to wifi at home and wondered if anyone can help.
I have a BT home hub 2, the tablet will see the network and allow me to enter the wifi password but it then sits saying 'saved, secured with WPA' and no matter how many times I press connect it won't. Apart from very occasionally it will connect but there is nothing consistent as to why it suddenly decides to connect!! Other laptops and phones connect to the home hub fine
Things I have tried:
Setting a static IP for tablet on the home hub
Rebooting router and tablet
factory reset on tablet
factory reset on home hub
Downgrading to gingerbread (failed as the instructions on how to do it didn't work!)
Tethering tablet via wifi to my iphone (connects no problem)
Searched forums for previous posts with similar problems - no luck!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it connecting reliably?

This is really odd, I suggest you try to very temporarily turn off password protection on the WiFi network, just to see if thats what is throwing it off.
WiFi can be an oddball and doesnt confirm to logic.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and with security off the tablet connected (after 2 attempts - failed to get IP address on the first one).
I then put security back on, it connected once!! It then dropped the connection and won't connect again.
Arrgh! So frustrating.
So does this suggest that the security is the problem.... I don't know.
Any other thoughts?

Sounds like a defective WiFi hardware. You get a too low signal reception and/or transmission, corrupting most of your frames. Try placing it as close to the router as possible and see if there's any change. Or get the unit replaced.
