My phone won't connect to a WPA/WPA2 PSK WiFi network. It previously was able to connect (for 2 weeks), but since 6 weeks, it loops: scanning, connecting, disconnected. I have flashed many ROM versions and wiped all phone memory since (mainly for other purposes than this problem), but it still won't connect.
I have tried resetting the router several times without result. I can't access any more settings, because I live with other students in a house where the house-keeper also lives.
The WiFi at my university (802.1x EAP) and the WiFi at my parents house (also WPA/WPA2 PSK) always works properly.
I have searched through the internet and through XDA-forums, but none of the proposed solutions works, can be done on my phone or I am not able to try them because I can't access the router settings.

Ive discussed this problem multiple times, but im reviving it as i have some new information.
my xv6800 on dcd 3.0.1(will flash to 3.0.4 later today) has an issue with the wifi. i tested and discovered that the problem persisted on the stock rom, and after more testing, i think i ahve narrowed the problem down to one possible culprit..maybe
Multiple AP's with one SSID.
My wifi worked at home with few issues, and it works off campus at an place with an AP that i spend time at. the issue comes up when im on campus and i connect to the APs in the dorms and the classroom areas etc...
everywhere else, the SSID's are unique, so there is no confusion(for my phone) but when im at school and i use it, i can connect to the AP, named "buwireless", but when the phone goes to standby and comes back(and tries to connect again) the wifi shuts off and wont come back until a soft reset. what i have been able to do, to be able to use the wifi at school, is to remove the settings that it saves, and just manually connect each time.
I did this because i think the problem occurs when the phone has to connect to the SSID that it know, "buwireless" but the problem is that there are multiple AP's with that same buwireless ssid but with multiple MAC addresses. is it possible that the many APs with the same ssid could be giving me issues?
i dont know what else it could be given the fact that it works very reliably in most places, but at school its not like the phone doesnt work well with that ssid, its that the wifi on the phone actually stops working when it is confronted with that ssid. it wont search for others, and wififofum wont work either.
any more thoughts would be appreciated, and of course similar experiences would be interesting as well.
thanks
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.
All of a sudden, I cannot access WPA2 networks on wifi anymore. WEP networks work fine. My school's WEP network conebut when I try to connect to a WPA2 network, here's what happens:
1. phone connects successfully.
2. open browser
3. attempt to load google/yahoo/cnn/bing
4. loading inevitably fails
Does anyone have the same problem? Any proposed fixes?

Hey,
I'm having major problems with wifi on my x10. Yesterday, the phone suddenly couldn't access the internet over my home wifi network, which has a WPA2 personal passphrase. The phone still showed up as connected to the network, but could not get online. I reflashed my x10 with SEUS twice, reformatted my memory card, triple checked my router settings, but no matter what I do, I cannot get WPA2 personal keys to work. WEP keys work perfectly. Does anyone have the same problem? Can anyone help me out?

For a lot of custom roms, the ability to automatically connect to WPA- and even some WEP-encrypted networks is a challenge, and not many people seem to know the specific reason for it.
A lot of people have been using a free app from the Market called Blade Wifi Fix, which has mixed results (I haven't had it work for me, but it does for other people).
The fix I use is to disable Wifi, then re-enable it, wait for it to show Disabled on my wifi access point, then choose it and press connect. That usually works for me. But again, that's just for me.
Hey all,
I've had my Galaxy S II GT-i9100M for a bit more than two months now. It's been on ICS 4.0.3 since the first day I got it, and is unrooted.
Wifi was working fine the first month or so that I've had it. However, in the last month, while trying to connect to my university's networks from the wifi settings screen, it will display "connecting" for a long time, then change to "saved", without successfully connecting to the network. Odd thing is, if I turn the wifi on and off repeatedly, it may connect eventually, with around a 5-15% success rate each try. However, there's also a relatively high chance it will automatically disconnect itself within a few minutes.
The school has three main wifi networks: one is unsecured, while two are secured with exactly the same authentication methods (PEAP + MSCHAPv2) and takes the same login credentials. All three have the same problem when I try connecting. It's not a problem with signal strength, either, since my friends nearby can connect using their phone or laptop without any problems.
Here's what I've already tried to do to fix this:
Asked the school's IT helpdesk
Forget both secured networks so the phone can autoconnect to the unsecured one
Tried wifi diagnostic tools, such as Wifi Analyzer and Wifi Fixer, and tried changing to a better channel
Deselected "back up my data" in the Back Up and Reset settings screen, deleting existing wifi settings from Google's servers
Connect using a static IP address rather than DHCP. Either it has the same Connecting->Saved issue, or says something about "avoided a poor connection"
Did a factory reset, including wiping all user data
The wifi has no problems connecting to my home wireless network, and to most, though not all, other public networks I've tried (same problem as above if it doesn't work).
On a somewhat different note: there are two networks (each of which I've only connected to once at most) that are permanently saved on the list of access points; there's actually no way to forget/delete the network. They even survived the hard resets, and are listed before I link the phone to my Google account. Could this be related to the main issue above?
Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Been having this issue with my home wireless router for weeks. If I restart my router, the Vibrant will connect with no problem. If I go somewhere and connect to another wireless network, then back to my home network, the phone is stuck at "obtaining IP address..." I tried a lot of methods, such as wifi-fixer apps, tweaked router's wireless settings etc, but nothing worked. So yeah... I can connect to my university wifi normally, and my other devices can connect to my home wireless without problems.
I now i exhausted all my options The rom I have should be pretty much stock froyo (downloaded here), and the modem is KB5, which I may add, worked perfectly fine with pure stock up until I started trying out other roms.
Help pls >.<
