[Q] HP Touchpad Unable to connect to WPA wifi network - TouchPad General

I have a new 32Gb HP touchpad but I am unable to get it to connect to my home network when I have my WPA-encrypted security on.
The Touchpad sees my network and can connect to it when I have no security enabled, but as soon as I have WPA security enabled, it cannot sign in even though it can see, and attempts to connect, to the network.
All my other devices (phones, laptops, etc) can connect without a problem.
I have tried changing my WPA password (which only consists of alpha and numeric characters), but the Touchpad still refuses to connect.
My router is a Netgear WG834N, and the Touchpad is on system version 3.0.2.
Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

this is outside the community but it offers much discussion on the subject.
seems the hp touchpad is finicky.
AES over TKIP and more . good read

I heard that changing your WPA authentication from AES + TKIP to just AES should do the trick.

You should be doing this anyway as tkip is worthless for security. Long passwords too. I only use wpa2 aes with a 26 character password and the tp connects without any issues.

I can confirm that my Touchpad works on WPA2 using AES. I haven't tried TKIP or any others in a while.

i just got my Touchpad (32gb) today and I cant get it to connect to my wireless network which is WEP.

I've finally managed to get it working on my Netgear DG834N router - but only be selecting "b&g" mode and then selecting WPA-PSK [TKIP] security. WPA2-PSK [AES} or a mixture of modes doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Fwiw. I have Wrt610n v2 and Netgear 3500l. I run g only on the Netgear, and a 2.4ghz n, and 5Ghz N network on the cicso. All wpa2 and aes. No multiple protocols, no mixed modes because any mixing causes problems with some devices as well as asking the network to go to the lowest speed and protocol to accommodate the slowest dumbest device. My cellphones, my HDTVs my bluray player, my laptops, my pcs and my touchpad all work fine. Everything does at least g networking, so if you're in the same position you drop B protocols. The network will be able to connect faster in both rate of speed and connection. Passwords for aes should be in multiples of 8 minus 1, upto 63 (not 64 unless you're using hex). Though the lower end should be 15 characters for good security.

Is there a way to get the Wifi working with WEP?

Hero crashes Wifi router

I got my HTC Hero on Orange in the UK last week.
I am getting an issue where a normally stable wireless network will be knocked out if i connect the Hero on Wifi.
I know its not the radio - connects fine on WEP secured work network and on the open connection on the train and at McDs
I have done a fair bit of googling and RTFM and basically found lots of router specific issues on Android phones but nothing that looks like the same issue i have encountered except one on the Android community forum where no one has a solution or suggestion i havent already tried.
XDA developers was a great help with unlocking and flashing a ROM to my Trion so i thought i would amend the post i made there and see if i get any more expert opinion on here. Apologies for the length of the post - will post ROM and build numbers if that helps (and someone tells me where to look on the phone!)
Conscious this is a lenghty post (hello all!) but thought as i struggled to find anything it might help others in the same situation if i detail the issues and what i have looked at and hypothesised that i need to try to resolve this - in case anyone else has similar issues.
Netgear DGFV338 ADSL and Ethernet VPN & Firewall router.
Three wireless laptops and Sony Ericsson G900 all connect fine
Laptops run XP Pro, Windows 7 RC and a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu machine
desktops (all on gigabit backbone) run similar mix but only lose internet after router and modem have borked.
I am running this on a 20 MB Virgin connection which is usually faultless (3 years or so uptime not counting upgrades to the modem). Speed or timeout is not an issue - usually get between 12MB and 17MB DL and 700kbps UL
As soon as i connect with the Hero i can use the Wifi but briefly (one web page, start to load Market etc) - basically network detected and WPA-PSK TKIP connected, IP allocated and showing in wireless clients table of router.
I was running restricted MAC access and IP/MAC binding as i have ports open for the 360's and the Wii and want to restrict access to these devices only but removed this as part of the troubleshooting.
Shortly afterwards 20 seconds to 1 minute after connection the wifi drops - all connections lost, laptops lose connections and i lose connection to Virgin. It requires a full reboot of modem and router with the Hero off to recover a connection.
I wiped the router and all the security and all the other pcs etc work fine
then turn on hero - same story. So its not any of my more esoteric and paranoid router settings - i dont think.
Been on the Netgear forums and apart from some issues with the G1 and AES on home routers (mine is the full enterprise kit metal case) i find nada
Troubleshooting to date has narrowed it down to a couple of choices.
I know my router but i am brand new to this phone so some of this is pure guess work. One suggestion was ARP floods from multiple requests from phone getting it blocked by the firewall. Except traffic logs dont support this
Encryption support:
I use WPA PSK TKIP - this is detected as WPA Personal by the Hero but it can connect to router when i use the pass and this setting so i am working on the basis this is supported and correct.
I have read about issues with poor AES support on some routers which are fixed by a firmware update but have the same issue with other devices on AES so would prefer TKIP. So it could be encryption handling - initial connection works but error logging could crash the router if this is not working correctly
Anybody know if the WPA personal listed for connections is TKIP or AES?
I cant find any clear information on this.
Orange DNS or restricted gateway settings:
This appears to be the main symptom - i lose DNS support and therefore access to the internet. Turning off the Hero and reconnecting the laptop gives me access to the router but i need to reboot the modem to get my IP back (dynamic but changes every 12 months or so) the hypothesis is that the Orange connection in this build has the DNS hardcoded to go through their DNS servers which either Orange or Virgin systems dont like and boots my connection off the internet. Bit of a long shot but as i cant seem to find any way to fix static IP or DNS listings it could be the case as i cant switch to OpenDNS as i would to test this otherwise.
Only comes to mind as the first day with the phone (when Orange 3G was not active) i didnt have this problem - wifi on phone and laptop worked fine and both together
Bit of a longshot but the symptoms point to a DNS corruption if it isnt my router treating repeated WPA or DNS requests as a DOS attack. It could be DHCP creating errors but i can bind a MAC to specific IP to override this on the router. It sees the Hero, recognises the MAC and adds it to the restriction whitelist.
I havent checked ARP logging but that theory could pan out as its unlikely DNS would take down the router and modem - ARP or DOS lockdown could.
WiFi Channel
I run channel 11 due to neighbours wifi interference - Wii wont work at all with default channel.
I cant find the default channel information on the Hero but would assume it is 6 like most devices.
this one is strange - if it is the Wifi Channel then seeing the router should be a problem and connection shouldnt happen at all. It seems unusual to allow a connection but then crash the router as it is getting traffic on a different channel.
Could be another side effect of my routers firewall blocking suspicious traffic but seems unlikely.
As you can see a fair amount of things have been tried and i am still getting nowhere.
I need to try the encryption settings - does anyone know what the WPA setting is on the Hero and which encryption is supported/offered as standard?
I need to try changing my router back to channel 6 - does anyone know the default channel or how to change this in the Hero?
I need to try static rather than DHCP (but on the phone as already have tried forcing IP from router) - how do i get to these settings?
I need to try static DNS rather than Dynamic (router proxy of Virgin DNS)
I do have a Linksys WRT54g (three of them - one vanilla, one Sveasoft and one Tomato) which i use for outside events at work so i could swap one of those in but i suspect its a combination of Hero settings and router settings and i would like to get my main router set up (and keep the 8 ports) than swap back to the older WRTs and have to set up my Xbox 360s to get around the issue they have with being on a switch with a different subnet and not connecting to Windows 7 media centre
Basically i have tried most of the things i can try with the access i have on the phone and my knowledge of its default settings. What apps can i try to give me control of the networking and access section?
Otherwise, loving the phone. Better than the reviews and whilst not lightning fast its a damn sight quicker than an overclocked Trion i was running before (which worked fine on the same router and WPA Personal)
I am liking Android, glad to not be locked into the Apple tax/ecosystem and realising that WinMo has a looong way to come; even with the help HTC and xda developers offer to make better use of the hardware.
But i am heavy internet user and i cannot risk running my Hero at home on 3g when i have 500MB cap and a £3 a MB over limit charge with no notice from Orange to say i am near limits.
Any ideas? feedback? similar tales of woe?
Possible solution
Ohkaaay - found advanced settings so that helped! n00b error
Removed all security.
Changed channel to 6
connects
change to channel 11
connects but crashes router
reboot router and modem
change back to channel 6
change security to WPA Personal AES
connects
doesnt crash router
change to channel 11
connects
doesnt crash router
i appear to have a working connection and there is no way i would have made it through this post with the Hero on before i made these changes
weirdly i now have two identical entries in the wireless networks list
one says SSID_name Connected
two says SSID_name WPA Personal
remove remembered networks
Hero autodetects my SSID_name
sign in with AES password
two listings in wifi list again, same as before.
So it looks like WPA TKIP doesnt work on my router with Hero
AES does.
Channel 6 works with no security
Channel 11 doesnt
BUT... enable AES and Channel 11 works.
Guess the Channel 6 signal issue interferes with the TKIP or something
But i can report that on Netgear router WPA Personal AES works ok, which apparently on the pre-Cupcake G1 was a known issue.
Apologies to post and then reply to my own post but this might help someone
I can confirm your findings regarding WPA + TKIP vs WPA2 + AES.
I was running WPA + TKIP on a Linksys WRT54GX and experienced major connectivity issues with my Hero (although is did not crash the router). Did not experience this problem with my iPhone 3G.
Changed configuration to WPA2 + AES and Hero does now work without any issues.
I know this:
A. Is fairly obvious
and
B. Is not particularly helpful to you
However - if any device (regardless of whether it is buggy or not) is crashing your router, the router clearly has buggy firmware itself and is at fault. Router firmware should be robust to the unexpected, especially on wifi as this could be prone to denial of service attacks from anyone happening to be walking by. A router that is crashed by an attempted client connecting is a bad sign.
My personal advice would be to change to a decent standalone router. I use a Buffalo WHR-G54S flashed with Tomato firmware v1.21.8005 (with a seperate linksys Adsl2+ modem to provide internet). It is working flawlessly for me in WPA + TKIP/AES with no issues.

[Q] help with vegan rom and wifi

i now am using vegan, and i configured eveything many times on the g tab and it will not connect to my router. i restarted, downloaded the rom again, went back to tnt(it worked) then back to vegan and does not work.
i had tnt and it worked perfectly with my wifi, i have my mac address in my router. using wep, but i have tried open, even reconfigured my router.
it shows obtaining forever almost- then sez disconnected.
if i configure staticly it will show the antenna at the top, but still wont browse the net.
ive read similiar threads but no answers yet????

Just a suggestion?
I think the issue may be with WEP. Try using a different wireless security format instead of WEP, try WPA2 Personal or something other than WEP.
EG: I have my router security set to only allow certain mac addresses (as you did). I have it broadcasting on a channel that is not used by default (Ch6 - 9).
because other people around me don't care about that that makes for a lot of extra noise making it difficult for the router to diiferentiat between signals it can hear. Security set to WEP2Personal and I have network mode set to N only.
My GTAB connects almost instantly everytime coming out of sleep or upon boot up.
I have had problems conencting to WEP networks with Vegan as well. My wife who used TnT Lite doesn't have any problems with WEP. I use WPA at home and it works fine. WEP is pretty low security anyway (any more it's like being open), if you can you should be using WPA or WPA2. Also, make sure your router is configured for the MAC address of your tablet and that Vegan didn't change the MAC address to something you haven't configured your router for.
i just tried wpa and wpa2 personal etc. and it worked, but now my vista compu doesnt want to connect to wpa. so i cannot do it.
my router is a netgear with modem in one. i think it was a freebee that comcasst kicked in years ago. the firmware is specific comcast, so not all the settings are available.
but i tried and tried to get all my wireless working, and no go.
so vegan cannot be used with wep??? true or false?
if so ill go back to tnt i guess.....???
though i did feel vegan was a tiny bit faster...
It is a good thing that you couldn't use WEP.
WEP is as easy to break into as a high school gym locker and should be avoided at all costs. You might as well leave the connection open if you are not using some verison of WPA.
That being said, I had no problems connecting to a local WEP wi-fi network with VEGAn.
Suggestion:
Dole out some extra fins and get a new router..
I can only guess wep doesn't play well with the gtab.
i am still interested if anyone has wep with vegan?
im saving for a router now.
any suggestions on a comcast cable router modem in one.??
My suggestion is to use the wpa. Your vista computer can connect to it, you probably just need to work on the configuration.
it might be a bit of a hassle, but once you get everything going on wpa everything should run smooth....
So, i'm at a hotel in Branson. They have wifi with wep. Out of the 4 wifi enabled devices I brought, only the gtab is not connecting. It should also be noted that I never have trouble connecting the gtab to wpa networks.
Just thought everone might wanna know.

[Q] Wireless N on SGS2?

Hi guys, anyone can help me out here with regards to connecting our SGS2 to Wireless N network? I have tried changing my radio frequency setting and even resorted to using WEP authentication instead of WPA, but I just can't get the phone to connect via N network, it always connects via G instead. But under the same settings, I am able to connect my acer laptop and my wife's iphone4 to the N network.
Is there any specific settings I need to configure on my router? I am using a Prolink H5004N adsl2+ modem with wireless N router. The modem is compliant to IEEE 802.11n standards, not draft-n and should work with the SGS2?

Not sure, but I think that it will connect if your N-network are in the 2.4 GHz frequency area, but not in the 5.0 GHz

Yup, tried that too, but still connects to G only. I have also tried configuring router to accept only N networks instead of G/N, but then the SGS2 will not even see the SSID when its performing a wireless scan.

Ive got the same issue. Router Asus RT-N16 (b/g/n, 2.4GHz). Playing with different router firmwares, settings and so on - no luck so far.
Check the "advanced" settings by pressing the menu button in the wireless and make sure nothing wierd is set in there.
Otherwise, as long as the router is set to N only on the 2.4ghz band, it should at _least_ see the SSID.
That modem supports WPS, try pressing the WPS button on the back of the modem and then use the "WPS button connection" option in the wi-fi settings menu on the SGS2.
Remember the single-channel 802.11n 2.4ghz such as the SGS2 supports will only max out at 72mbps anyway so there's not a huge improvement over the 54mbps that 11g will give you, although 11n is more efficient.

thx for fast reply
SGS2 can see SSID, but fails to connect until I force RT-N16 (with custom firmware, RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r3121) down to "Use 802.11 G only".
Never had any problems with other 802.11 N powered devices.
only wpa2-aes or no encryption are N-standard

wireless N only officially supports either WPA2-AES encryption or no encryption. Devices with drivers that more closely comply to the spec will not connect to WEP or WPA.
I hope you fixed the issue. I stumbled across this thread while asking the same question; maybe someone else will benefit by having this thread wrapped-up also. No haters, egos, persons, etc please. It's been necessary already to block a few of you.

[Q] 3G/Wifi Flyer refuses to detect my router, what am I missing?

Just got a Wifi/3G Flyer today, running Gingerbread 2.3.3. and software version 1.56.720.2. I have a WPA2-PSK secured Belkin wifi router at home. Currently, it has 2 laptops and 2 phones (BB & Galaxy S2) connected without any problems.
My Flyer refuses to recognize the router, but it shows up my neighbor's similar WPA2 secured SSIDs instead - (so presumably the wifi hardware is working).
I have already tried/checked the following:
Router's SSID is not hidden.
Router supports push button WPS - does not work with the Flyer though it configured my Samsung Galaxy S2 perfectly fast.
Rebooted router.
Changed router security to none, WEP 64 bit and WEP 128 bit.
Manually entered settings - it just says my network is 'not in range' despite my sitting right next to it.
My router settings are:
Authentication - WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK
Algorithm - AES
Wireless channel - auto.
Wireless mode - b/g/n all supported.
Is there a fix for this that doesn't involve rooting the device?
Update: Used the software update to get it to 2.3.4 and software version 2.27.720.1, and it still is showing up every goddamn wifi network in the vicinity other than my own one
change your channel from Auto to channel 10 or 11. Normally this will not affect your other devices. It seems that the Flyer is quite sensitive for this kind of 'problems'
Holy quack, that worked!
Thank you so much! I set the channel to 11, after which it started detecting the network, but would connect and instant disconnect. A reboot fixed it for good!

Incompatible with Asus N66U Router

I am not able to connect my Transformer Prime with my new Asus N66U router. I tried all channels and security settings and it only connected when to the router with open system setting. I am able to connect it to my old Netgear WDR3700 in good speed without any problems. Does anyone run into similar situation?
I have the rt-n66u router as well and never had a problem. Are you sure you are using the right encryption settings, Do other devices connect, have you updated the router's firmware? There was a new update just today.
http://support.asus.com/download.as...T-N66U (VER.B1)&os=&hashedid=PZkFHlMrGWzVROxT
have you ensured your router has the latest firmware?
I have the N56u model and no issues.
Yes, I have the latest firmware. My Galaxy Nexus connects just fine. The Transformers Prime actually see the router with strong signal. It just refuses to connect to it. BTW I set the router using WPA-PSK.
Is your prime running the latest update? Or, have you tried DD-WRT?
I have the latest firmware in both devices. However, my Prime is the first batch and may suffers from wifi issues. I may have to try Tomato or Dd-wrt firmware.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Some routers let you disable the broadcasting of the network name (SSID). Computers/network cards that conform correctly with the 802.11 specification will refuse to connect. Have you checked the settings for both 2.4 and 5GHz? - of course the router should not allow disabling of the SSID!
odd. Try wiping the data. Small pin hole in back of router. Reset it. Then 192.168.1.1. go in there and reenter your SSID etc on wireless.
For ****s and giggles. Pump up your 80mw Tx power of wireless to around 160mw. I been running 160mw tx power for awhile and have not and any problems. This baby can go all the way up to 500mw. Of course that is U.S. FCC range limit. With 500mw you can see your wireless from few blocks away.
If your prime is connecting to your other wireless router. Then has to do with some setting in on the RTN66U. Hopefully the wipe will clear any setting in the firmware.
Forgot to mention. Your prime will only connect to the 2.4ghz. It won't connect to the 5ghz wireless.
Did that already. My Transformer does see the 2.4 Ghz SSID with very strong signal. It just keeps reconnecting and fails to connect again eventually. My Galaxy Nexus can connect in a very good speed. Change back to my old Netgear WDR3700 and my transformer connects to it right away. It seems to me that the problem is the security encryption as connection is established right away in open system. However, it just refuse to connect on whatever setting I tried.

What are the WiFi standards on the Router set to?
Sometimes when a router is set to b/g/n (all combined) it can lead to issues.
I generally keep mine at b/g (no n) on the 2.4 Mhz band, since my n devices run on my router's 5 Ghz band anyway. Try that out.
I tried "auto", "legacy" and "n only" with or without "b and g protection" but still could not connect to the router in any combinations. Will like to know the feedback from anyone who put Tomato on N66U.
If you have kept the same SSID as your old router did you delete the old network settings for that SSID in your TP? Also try a new SSID on the router.
If the router supports WiFi Multimedia (WMM) try disabling it and re-enable it after a connection has been made.
I presume you would know if you had enabled an allowed devices table -MAC addresses. The only other thing I can think of is the size of the "hello I'm here" beacon that the router transmits is too long for the TP and I think that would only be an issue with a very long SSID
Yes, I do keep the old SSID. However, I did forget the network and reconnect to it again in Transformer. My SSID is less than 10 characters. It seems to me that the Transformer is not able to get an IP nor pass the authentication stage.

Well. Go under advanced settings and then Wireless.
Wireless -General tab.
Frequency click (2.4ghz).
Your SSID (name).
Hide SSID = (No)
Wireless Mode put in (N Only).
Control Channel (1).
Channel Bandwidth (20mhz).
Authentication Method (WPA2-Personal).
WPA Encryption (AES).
Enter your WPA Pre-Shared Key (password for SSID).
Network Key Rotation Interval to (0).
Wireless -Professional Tab
Frequency (2.4ghz)
Enable Radio (yes)
Date to Enable Radio (Check all days)
Set AP Isolatd (No)
Multicast Rate (Disable)
RTS (2347)
DTIM (3)
Beacon (100)
Enable TX burst (Enable)
Enable Wireless Multi (Disable)
Enable WMM (Enable)
Tx Power adjustment (80)
Try those settings. See what happens.
Will try it as soon as I get back home. Thanks.
I am finally able to get my Transformer connecting to my RT-N66U router by changing the SSID to a new one. The speed and range are not better to my old Netgear WDR3700 though. Thanks for all the help anyway.

Good to hear!
I've had the occasional connectivity problem with mine, on certain routers I can get connection but no online connectivity.
some routers use a nonstandard DHCP range (i think it may the ones that utilise 192.168.1.x) anyway, if you encounter this it's simple to correct once you know you simply define a manual ip on the prime for that connection and voila! :>

Cool. Glad you got it working.
Well you can always try and pump your TX power adjustment from the default 80 to 160 or more. I was able to increase my range. I think the max is like 500mw the chip is rated at. However, I havent tried that high. I don't want to burn out my chip. Plus heat increases dramatically at those higher mw's. You would have to toss a little laptop cooler underneath it. (run via the routers usb port there).
My connection problem happens again. Just in case someone has similar issue, I solve the problem by exchanging a new one from store.
