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..

So my phone randomly dropped it's wifi ability. It cannot find any wifi connections even if I know they do exsist and are running.
When I go to advanced settings it gives me my MAC address but not my IP? Is that the source?
Currently I'm running Mik's cm7 6.6.1 with francos 29082011.
I enable wifi, it says connecting but with no connections available? At least not scanned. But then it stops and says disconnected and can't see any connections.
Anybody know a fix??
Okay, this is messed up. When I tried to connect to my schools internet today it screwed it up. My school is under construction and I guess the internet is a little screwy so when I connected it went online for a second, then added the connection twice and disconnected and wouldn't let me connect to anything or see any other wifi connection.
So I went about to format it and reflash my ROM and I went into my wifi settings and started to delete a few connections. After I deleted both of my schools connections my router NETGEAR popped up! And it works quite well...
I'm so confused as to why this happened.
Hello newbie here. Im running a non rooted, LG Optimus 3D with 2.2.2. Model number p925g. Im on Rogers in Canada. My service is currently suspended, for 3 weeks. I was using wifi all that time for facebook, e-mail etc. Just couple days ago my wifi stopped. its says full connection at home on my neighbours unseccured linksy. No internet access. Did soft reboot multiple times. no change. Took it to Rogers where the clerk signed me into Their hot spot full connection and access. At safeway and public library I connected full wifi bars. no access until i agreed to their little licensing blurb. At home still no access even with it reading full connection. I did factory reset. Nothing changed. Rogers clerk assured me wifi was fine as i connected to their hotspot. wifi not fine!!! At home i signed into my roomates Telus router with password. It say authenticating but it kicks off as disabled over and over. yet linksy connects and stays fine?? Yet no access to net still?? Please help. I tried resetting router, power off, wifi on phone set to never sleep. I like phone otherwise. for year and half connected to any open wifi no problem. Now cant connect at home. Very frustrating. Please please someone help. Its gotta be a simple thing Im overlooking. I posted elsewher with no success. I know someone can help me?? Im a nontech savy newbie. very Frustrated. help!!!!!!
Hello - Have been running XtreStoLite rooted for months now on my SM-G900T. About a week ago all of my known Wi-Fi connections would stop working sporadically. When I take a look at whats going on, my phone says there is authentication issue (password is wrong). It would seem obvious that this is the problem but I know this is not the case when connected to the few Wifi networks I consistently use, because I would have to be the one that would change the Wifi password to connect (I haven't changed it). Also, it may work normally anywhere between a few seconds to a few hours, then bam, out of nowhere I'm disconnected due to authentication problems. Where I'm at now is that there is something wrong with my S5, causing it to send the wrong password credentials. Even if I forget the connection and re-enter credentials it will fail, no other devices have this problem on these Wifi networks. Does anyone have an idea where to start troubleshooting now?
Hi!
I'm on an Asus ZE550KL. Now, i use to connect to a wifi network offered from my city. Fact is, it needs a login to use it. With some devices the login is "bypassed", so i connect to it and i'm ready to surf.
With my old phone if i remember right it was baypassed. Now, these days the network has problems, so on pc i can surf, but there is a sort of problem with login so after i insert credentials, there is an error, can't reach the server, so on phone i'm out of wifi.
Now my question is, why this difference on devices? Can i maybe change something about it? I'm not rooted.
Thanks!
