Could be a million things going wrong...password, diff key algorithm, MAC address filtering (if he has it enabled on the router).
You need to do more troubleshooting before asking the question...give the forum a starting point.
Check to see if your phone supports the type of the router.
For example, if your router is N and you phone only supports g/b, it won't work.
Check if the router supports as many devices are connected
is it normal that my ip address in wifi settings is unavailable ??

I guess it is since you haven't connected to a network that would have assigned you an IP address.

Ummm...NO. N is backwards compatible, both on 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

It would help to have more information about the way the router is set up, etc. Can other phones connect to it? Are you getting any error messages?
I bought a used WRT54GS a few weeks ago and couldn't get my phone connected over WiFi until I updated the firmware. You may want to look into that. It said it was connecting and then said disconnected. It never said it was connected though.
Once I got the new firmware installed then I was able to connect, encrypt the connection, etc.

~ we already updated the firmware but still got the problem .. we've done all troubleshooting we can do .. i even change my rom and kernel but nothing happens .. other device can connect to his router, mine was the only one that can't connect ...
btw i can connect to other wifi .. i guess the problem is in the router ?
Well, at least you know it's not your phone ...

Sorry to hear that.
If other devices can connect to it and yours can't, even with different ROMs and kernels, then it looks like this particular router just doesn't like your phone/setup for some reason. Especially since you can connect to other WiFi units.
Very frustrating.
If the router is set up to allow enough connections and isn't filtering out your phone's ==> WiFi <== MAC address then I don't know what else can be wrong.
Hope you can find a workaround, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

sup everybody.
firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.
but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.
i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)
upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge
my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)
when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.
so for the life of me i cant figure out why.
so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.
any suggestions.
like how to reset the IP address on the S3
Tried restarting your rooter?

Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.
Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Try shutting off ur router.... Wait for a min or so then turn it bak on nd see what happens. I have an intellinet router which when the current goes off nd then on im able to connect to everythng except all google services (gmail, search, reader, syn, etc.) until i do the above. All my other devices connect fine in the meantime! Must be smthng with android....
- check the ip address.
- from device, ping its default gateway
- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping
if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.
if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.
2 S3 in a 3 days (Internet Isues)
Well, a seven days ago itake a Galaxy S3 from my carrier: Ancel (Uruguay).
IN the First day all fine,but in the night it can´t connect with 3g. In the other day the Wifi STOPs. TheS3 conect with the rooter but can´t navigate.
I change the rooter, resetthe phone (factory Reset) but the thinks not change.
I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).
For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.
It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???
My computer is normal, myold N97 is fine, It has 3G signal and navigate on Wifi and 2G/3G, but my galaxyS3 no …
I ´m very confused with this situation ... Twophones in a 3 days …

TRY
call *#0011# (Takes phone into service menu)
press menu key and select wifi
Disable wifi powersaving mode
You may need to repeat this upon phone restarts but it may well sort out your problem

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed. Have switched to bluetooth internet sharing from my laptop to avoid disruptions as I just can't trust the wireless.

not working for me
None of both have commented on my suggestion to use Wireshark on another computer to see what's actually going on.
It's hard to guess the reason since by crystall ball is broken and it's nearly impossible to get magical artifacts in pristine conditions on ebay...
No Way.
But after reset the configurations, today in 3G mode al is fine.
In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.
In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.
In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.
But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...
Very bad Samsung.
I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.
I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:
THancks for the help.
I will going to look for triangleway & Odin in the forum.
With my Motorola XT860 i made a lot of stuff: CWM, Custom Roms... but i dont´t know nothing about the S3.
Just some days reading here in XDA and a will going to know all that kind os Staff.
Sorry for the BAd English...
I'm having this issue. I think it has to be a firmware issue as I don't think I get it if I use CyanogenMod9 or 10 (but I could be wrong)
It really is very annoying and somewhat disappointing.
Hello Again!
I tested my S3 in others routers, and all the router that working without sharedkey (open network) my S3 can conect and acess the internet.
Test your phone with one and post for us here.
OBS: In my TP link TL-WR642G it can´t conect (with and without Shared key) but in the first day yes, i don´t understand it.
I will going to 3 school who has open Internet for all the childrens and this 3 schools my s3 conect and navigate in the Internet.
Thancks for the support, if anybody change the firmware and the phone come normal again, please comeback here and post for us.
I have this problem too.. since omega. Strange...'

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:
- Take a Nandroid backup of your phone (on the internal SDcard, restoring from external seems to be broken)
- Flash CM9
- Try Wifi
If it works, please report. if it doesn't, restore the Nandroid backup and report =)
Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.
Attention!!! I found a fix for getting wrong IP using your router!!!This should help you if internet worked at first day on phone or sometimes works and sometimes not after reconects. This thread i created is about my routers not working with SG3 and other devices. Router fails to assign right IP for my SG3. Example: 192.168.0.100-199(last digit from 100 to 199) should be IP in that range but phone aquires 192.168.1.6 or 192.168.1.8 and it can't get internet acces! I could connect but not surf the internet. To make device get always same IP and most importantly get GOOD IP wich would not be broken and you could surf internet. You just need to reserve IP in router's network settings. This fixed my problem instantly!!!
Thank me if it worked for you!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything below is history!!
Pure stock, not rooted SG3 international version.
I have strange wifi problem. We have 2 routers. One is main(dlink) it was working fine for 5 days and sudenly my SG3 can't connect to internet. I saw that my SG3 is aquiring wrong IP 192.168.1.8 instead of IP192.168.0.(range of 99- 199) so it won't get connected to internet, but connection to router is good. Tried 2nd(linksys) not main router and it works, i can connect to internet (aquires right IP 192.168.0.138) something like that in right range from 99 to 199. First tried wifi fixers. Didn't work. Then tried factory reset didn't help too. Then hard reset from recovery with data wipe ( correct me if that isn't hard reset). That helped, but not 100%. Now i can connect. To main (dlink) router with right IP IP192.168.0.(range of 99- 199) and internet works, but tried with 2nd(linksys) and now problem has transfered to that 2nd router. I only can ask you. Why? What socery is this? Maybe custom rom i install from stock would fix this. Or i need to fix my problem without roming first? Strange.

Update: i lol right now. I went with my SG3 to googleplay via (main dlink router) downloaded angry birds seasons to see download speed. Speed was okay, played few mins. Tried to go to store again. Internet was gone. Internet works fine on my pc but on phone throught wifi not. And changed IP from 192.68.0.(last digit range 99 - 199 ) to 192.68.1.8. Now both routers have 192.68.1.8 IP as i connect to them with my SG3. Connection is strong but internet does not work, because of that freaky IP. I don't imagine how to fix this. My only thought is to flash my SG3 to custom ROM, because other devices works fine with these 2 routers.
So i flashed custom rom and it worked for a while. I guess because i did data wipe/factory reset. I thought i have solved the problem. Recently i installed FoxHound Rom wich is absolutely briliant. Then getting started app asked me to find wifi network. I sat near my router and... it again aquired wrong IP --->>> 192.168.1.8 <<<--- INSTEAD of 192.168.0.( from range 99 to 199). I i don't know what to do next! HELP ME PLEASE! :/
Our other device Galaxy Note works fine as ipad works fine too with those 2 routers.. But not SG3. Arrggh..

Update: found this thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22...-wireless-devices-aquire-the-wrong-IP-address.
He says:
"Everything connects to the router but getting internet working is only accomplished by manually changing the settings to those described above."
Maybe that's because my SG3 can act as modem too? Can galaxy note 4.0.4 act as modem or iphone4?
Unfortunately problem back again. Browsed internet for few min and got wrong IP as i came 3rd time to connect to wifi dlin router. Then i tried another router linksys and got instantly bad IP by connecting to it too. What to do now?!? It's definitely something wrong with my SG3. Do i need to reflash to original, reset counter and take it to warranty post?
Or maybe there is else i can do? Help!

why dont you use the [1 to 99] host byte range? I know range doesnt really matter but if your phone wants to connect to the lower part, why not change that? Plus, did you try giving your phone a static IP address? thats the first thing I would do
I tried doing static IP on my phone and I think I did it wrong. Now I have flashed again I didn't connect to my main dlink router firstly after I flashed new rom, instead I connected to 2nd Linksys. Downloaded 300mb game and few more apps from googleplay, installed, restarted, reconnected and it still works. Will report later how it's going.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
All those few days i was connected to 2nd linksys router. So it worked flawlessly until today when i tried to connect to main router dlink. First time i connected today it worked fine. Second time i got that EPIC FAIL IP 192.168.1.6 now. What the F***?! I resetted that router like 5 times to zero and reentered ips. All other devices works fine with it. Why not my SG3?!?! And my computer threw strange internet connection error but it wasn't affected by it. Internet works on my computer as it should. Error was about double ip. It said that other computer in the same network had the same ip. But it works fine after that error. I'm carring my SG3 to warranty post. I don't know any other options.
Edit: After 5 min tried to connect. It works now again just by reconnecting. Previously it didn't work that way. If it stuck, it was always stuck with that ip even if i did "'forget network" then "wifi off" then phone restart and wait some time. It could only work for some time if i did hard reset. Will see what happens next.
After another 5 min i tried reconecting to 2nd linksys router and now it has wrong ip 192.168.1.6 (not 8 at the end). But i get good in on main dlink router now! So main working and 2nd - not. Wtf... So this problem isn't caused by main router dlink. I now really believe that my SG3 has something wrong. I i will lose my connection again (can connect, but no internet), i will take phone to service.

if you somehow get your phone to connect to the internet again. Just go to the router's configuration window and increase the lease time to max (say 1000hours). That way, your device will get the same IP for at least 1000hours

What's point of doing this if i go to other place and same thing happens. I will increase time there too or smth? I need to fix roots of the problem. Other devices works fine, but not SG3. Do not know.. Will installs few new roms and take it to service. Internet works now with main Dlink router but no linksys (other connected after main). I first thought it can be main router only. I thought when main locks with bad ip so other router gets bad ip too, but i was wrong. So no point in fixing routers, because if i go to anywhere else and there my SG3 lock with bad ip what then i should do? That's the point
This time i tried onother samsung galaxy s3 wich is not mine. Gues what. It bugged the same way. LOL. But somehow unbugged to correct ip after 5min when i did reconnect on that phone. Same thing happenned to mine with new rom. I jst installed new rom on mine and instantly as tried connecting got wrong ip again. But after 5mins~ turned off wifi and back on and it started to work again. Same s*it with both SGS3. I gues that's samsung fail with wifi. Wich cause with some routers to work wrong. And again all other devices have no problems with these router wich have SGS3s. I think i will have to live with it or buy other router.

So router with my sg3 worked for some time for few day and locked again. BUT FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX THIS PERMANENTALY!!! YES!!!
To make device get always same IP and most importantly get GOOD IP wich would not be broken and you could surf internet. You just need to reverse IP in router's network settings. This fixed my problem instantly!!!
Reverse IP, what does that mean?

You should also check if your network has no mac identification

I had the same issue yesterday, after several tests on other devices I was convinced it was a com error between phone and AP. Restart AP solved the issue.
Hi
I have a very weird problem with Galaxy S3.
The problem is that suddenly out of the blue, the phone no longer connected to my home wifi, which it had no problems connecting to it.
the signal is extremely weak, and only connects to it when you sit next to the router.
When you forget the connection, the bars go up and connection looks very strong. as soon as you start connecting to it, it drops to the way it was, and not getting connected.
All other stuff I have (laptop and other phones) work perfectly, so not a router thing
I have rooted and updated to the latest ROM, but still same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
is this happening with all wifi networks or just ur home network. If only on home network then try turning off your router and then restart it after some time to see if thats causing the problem.
also have u installed any updates/roms recently?

Well, I have not tried any other wifi, but I have another phone and laptop that work perfectly with the same router.
I also restarted the router, but nothing's happened.
I installed another ROM, but this time it keeps asking for password as it says it is incorrect. but as soon as I stand next to the Router, it hooks up to it with same supposedly incorrect password.
Regards

Had similar problem and I think a few people experienced this where suddenly the phone stops playing nicely with WPA2 security, so that's worth looking into

Try a Google, there were a few threads concerning it a while back, with several solutions I seem to remember

Nothing worked!!!
Dear all,
I have tried every solution there is, tried so many routers , work, hotels, cafes ..nothing same problem keeps coming up - authentication error occurred.
when you get close enough to router it works automatically.
I have since replaced firmware many times, have replaced the antenna, but nothing ...same problem.
Any help please, I am out of ideas!!!
The only idea for me is dump it and buy an iphone!

I am facing the exact same problem with my S3.
I have all security/no security. Is there any solution?????
i can also try to repair my phone, provided someone can explain what to repair.
Looking for a response.
Same problem
Hi,
I have the exact problem.
Wifi works when phone close to router (2-3 metres). When away it still shows connected but wont have internet access.
If I try to connect little away from router with full wifi signal, it says "Saved Secured" or Authentication error.
Tried flashing different stock roms but still same problem. Tried resetting router. Tried changing router channel and disabling security. But still same.
Anyone fixed this issue?

Hi, Thanks for the response.
Yes I did everything through recovery. I havent rooted my device. So I cleared cache and did factory reset through recovery.
My phone is HTC 620G but I think its not important because I've factory reset it and it didnt help. The problem is I'm connected to wifi but I can't access to internet. Sometimes I can but its way too slow, way way slow so as I said I formatted the phone but it didnt help. Waiting for your help
edit: I dont have any problems at other devices like laptop or phones but my phone...
edit2:When I connected to wifi near any device, the other devices internet connection got lost, its been so annoying i wanna get rid of this issue immediately
2.4 or 5ghz? What encryption ie wpa wep open? Can other devices connect to the wifi? Is the channel congested?
Edit I see you edited!

Yeah there isnt any problem with other devices, btw i forgot the wifi on my phone, rebooted both phone and modem and it was perfect for a moment,then it goes back and its bad now, its 2.4,wpa/wpa2 i guess and i already tried digferent channels
Have you tried going to maccas or wherever is a free wifi near you and seeing if the phone can connect to something other than your router?

Sorry forgot that,i was at my cousins and it was working perfect, problem is only at my home
I realised something now, i entered my gmail account on laptop and it sent my phone a notification, when i opened it I saw that one of my last connected location is Ireland. I didnt download any vpn apps so why is this saying that?
You might want to check the router settings. Some routers have a default limit on how many devices can be connected at once. It sounds like either that or IP address conflicts.

It could be about ip address because there isn't so much device, so what should I do? And I think it could be about dns settings, I tried something for that but couldn't solve it
