Hi, I have a question regarding receive Wi-Fi connection on my phone. I have an Experia X10 rooted with ThGo2_v13 and non-rooted SG Note, but my experia x10 is unable to detect my home Wi-Fi access point while my SG Note can. So I tried to add Wi-Fi network manually but after added, the xperia x10 still can use it. But both phone can detect some others network nearby us. Anybody know why? Thanks.

Is it an ad-hoc network? If so, then you could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.arendmedia.wifiadhocenabler&hl=en on your X10.
Nope, it's not an ad-hoc network. Does it have anything to do with the custom Rom/kernel?

Some kernels do break wifi functionality. Are you able to connect to other networks? Also, you could try changing the channel on your router to match the one set on your device.
Wifi Channels
Some countries have different wifi channels available, the USA has channels 1-11 and european countries have 1-13 i think. Its possible your hardware is limited to channels 1-11 and your access point is on channel 13, then you wont be able to connect.
Also, some AP's have a "turbo" mode which bumps them up to a 40mhz channel (normal wifi is 20mhz) an ap running at 40mhz wont be able to connect with a client at 20mhz.
I would try locking your AP into channel 6 @ 20mhz if you have the options in your AP.

Yup i can connect to other networks on both phone, but the X10 cant connect to that specific one. Weird!! So, say if i flash some other roms/kernels, can the problem be solve this way?

Hello ;
My Wireless modem supports channel 1-14 for b/g standards , but when I choose channel 14 on my modem, my SGSII is unable to see the network. I am sure it is working fine because my laptop can connect to my modem and use the internet.
does anyone know any methods to enable channel 14 on SGSII ?
Thanks
Yo, you have two possibilities, either change the channel on your router or flash another modem in your device. I guess the first option is the most hassle-free
It seems channel 14 is only supported in japan, so it would be locked if located anywhere else in the world.
I would imagine this lock is in the wifi firmware but I may be wrong.

Nice insight Veyka, I wanted to try it myself on my ROM however I can't even choose channel 14 for wifi transmission on my router, so yeah...
Thank you for replies , the problem is that I live in a condominium and channels from 1 to 11 are very crowded. so I set the country of my modem to Japan and now it gives me the option to choose channel 14 which is interference free
May be I have to install a radio firmware for Japan ? right ?

Beware using channel 14 outside of japan, there's a reason its not normally there. You may end up causing interference with something critical.
The "radio" file aka the "modem" only effects the cellular radio, not any other radio, you would need to hack around with the wifi modem firmware, aka not an easy "fix".
Flashing a modem wont have ANY effect.
Basically, don't use bands not allowed in your country, the restrictions are there for a reason, and most gear is region "locked" in order to be sold.

Being in the UK I cant pick channel 14 myself Well I could swap my routers region, but yeh, its not cool, the 2.4ghz region is overcrowded anyway without people using channels that are not allowed in there regions
I use a ICS 4.0.3 LP7 stock firmware.
It is possible to change band or channel in the Wi-Fi router of the GS2?
I see there is a setting in Wi-Fi to change band 2.4GHz/5GHz, but this setting doesn't works for router.
My GS2 router always transmits at 2.4GHz on channel 6, even if the channel is very used.
Is there a solution?
I don't quite get what you're asking. The SGSII is not a router.
Otherwise you can navigate to your routers IP through the web browser to change the channel.

How do you call a device that shares connection with others 5 devices?
GS2 have router function
Ahh you mean access point?
I'll look into it... but for now I don't think its possible.

I need to do the same thing i do with connectify but in my phone, i connect to the web with my wifi and share internet with the same wifi adapter.
i been looking into it for a while and people keep on say that i need 2 widi adapter for it but is SO no true coz i have and use only 1... I don't wanna use bluetooth at all or connect it with usb.
If anybody knows of an app that does this magic please let me know.
Thanks.

@ Luculuc
Thanks for the reply.
I havent find a tethering app that let me share my wifi connection over the same wifi adapter.
I am not looking to share my data plan by the way, Connectify work as a wifi repeater, so you log in to a wifi and the software let you share that same connection any way you like even simultaneously over the same wifi adapter.
I'm sure you have good reasoning, but why don't you connect the other device directly to the same wifi your phone is connecting to? are you trying to use your phone as a range extender?
If that is all you are doing, seems to me to be a waste of a good device.
You could go to dd-wrt.com, find the list of supported routers, then buy a cheap router that is supported and then flash that firmware. Then set up as needed.
I have been using that for years, except in wireless bridge mode.

I know this thread is super old...
one reason i have is open routers that need a login after connection. I have yet to get a repeater to work with one of these networks but connectify works as you connect your computer say yes i accept and then start sharing it.

You mentioned that the WIFI Repeaters donot work with Open Networks. Are you talking about "Wireless Repeaters and Range Extenders"? such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SQvaGEKOxc
fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)

Hello npg500, I installed the app you suggested but i am not satisfoed with it.
fqrouter doesnot "externds the range" of the WIFI. it just routes the internet connection though the Android phone it runs on (possibly by the MITM), keeping the routed device on the same network as it was before. i installed fqrouter to increase the signal strength from my Basement wifi. but no success. it shows my PC in the Scan area. but as mentioned it doesn't extends the Range.
Anynody having any idea what App can serve that functionality? Or Am I doing something wrong somewhere?
Anyone can suggest how to work this wifi repeater or extender mode on S5?
fqrouter is saying wifi is not supported on S5 but it does have MITM
Hi guys i see you know sometging about this...basically my neighbours gave my wifi password i typed it on android and i taught to share the connection from phne to laptop..is that possible?

You can simply view the password from your phone and input it in your laptop. Or, except you are experimenting something.

Hello
Im a proudly owner of a S3 and a GNexus and I have some problems regarding Wi-Fi, I know that this is not an S3 problem but its and android problem but perhaps someone can help me in here..
the thing is, I have two routers in my house, one is the master one for cable/internet company and the other is and range extender to expand the signal of the wireless lan....
every morning, when I wake up, if I go to the floor where is the first router both my S3 and Gnexus connect successfully to the wireless network and evevyrthing works fine....however if I go to the floor where the bridge/extender is located, both phones detects the wireless network, however can't connect to it, on wireless settings says...Obtaining ip address...and stays there for ages...and nothing...cant connect...for me to connect to the bridge, I have to restart the bridge and both phones connect immediately...
please any ideas??
thanks and best regards,

Is it password protected? If so try making it 'open' or change the encryption type.

Hi,
first thanks for the quick reply,
yes the network is password protected...I changed the encryption type for the WPA not the WPA2 and the problem still persists...
the thing that kills my brains is that, to connect to the bridge I must restart the the access point every morning,....

sorry but this situation is driving me crazy.....
I cant connect to the brigde/extender network right now with both my android phones and android tablet, however with my laptop running windows 8 I can......
wth??????
this is so frustrating!!!!!
Are you sure the second device extends the main access point and not just create a new WLAN?
Have you updated the firmware of both devices?
What devices do you have?
Am I understanding correctly that your laptop does work even though both Android devices don't (before you reboot the extender)?
Nope...its not creating another wireless lan... it extends the main plan correctly cause my laptop connects perfectly to the Wi-Fi from the extender even prior to the restart of the extender....
The devices are...main router from the ISP- Thomson
Range extender- tp link 701nd

Dynamic would be the friendliest to work with... you could try if it's a DHCP issue by setting a fixed IP when the problem occurs, but I don't think it is.
This is not a problem with the phone(s)....is with the router config. Contact the manufacturer for further assistance...

If you got a router and a range extender, there's nothing you need to fiddle with because the range extender will just Relay DHCP requests between client and master router.
Two routers* pushing out IP addresses is a no go, there will be a conflict in your scenario, and all range extenders will of course take this into account.
If you had two "real" routers*, it would still be possible to set everything up, although then there's a lot to take into account.
* Router is a inaccurate term used for the consumer grade combination devices. They're in fact a router, a switch, and a wireless access point bundled in a neat package. Sometimes with a xDSL modem or something on the external interface of the router.
Try setting the IP to static and more important, try giving it a default gateway to the routers IP. That should make it easy for your phone to directly look for the gateway it is looking for.

I have three routers, one main, one extender, one repeater (creating a whole new network for other building). Both main and repeater are the same network. All is config as per DD-WRT documentation. All three have latest DD-WRT.
After trying many things, all I can say is the (or mine at least) S3 always has trouble when many APs are nearby. I don't use VOIP because of that (it could disconnect at any time).
Next step on my list is to have 3 different SSIDs (only two now) and try using tasker to debounce the wifi switching (if that is even possible).
Hello everyone.
At my work they set the wireless with two channels. One is open to everybody with an email verification and allowed users to connect for 2 hours a day and the other is a hidden SSID that the workers can use all the time. In my iphone I have no issues. I add the network manually and it connects. But on my Sony xperia Z1 when I go to wifi and add the hidden SSID it just said not in range while the other network is in range. So far I tried the Hidden SSID enabler app with no luck. Any suggestions? My device has kitkat 4.4.2 and is rooted.
Thanks in advance

Yes, hidden networks are tough to get working with android. My experience with this is that when the hidden network won't connect and then not even recognize it's either that the psk/psk method don't match OR the network is Wireless-N only, which many newer android phones still can't connect to, while the iPhone can. -.- (the *only* thing apple is doing right I guess)

Apple has a flaw too however.
When a network requires you to log into a browser page with a password and username, the Iphone automatically opens the browser page to have you log into the new network.
This opens up drive by attacks to Iphone users connecting to open networks which can then Jailbreak the older firmwares.
I believe this is true, but don't rely on me. I don't even own an Iphone. lol
Another thing I didn't mentioned is that I cannot access routers settings. Also a friend of mine with a galaxy s4 can connect on hidden network. Anyone has the same problem?
Can you specify what router you have? Model #?

Thank you for the response...Its a belkin but the company who set up the network can only access to the routers settings. I'm not sure about the model but the thing is that I can connect with other devices and not with my Z1. It can find the non hidden network which works for a couple of hours and when I manually add the hidden network it says not in range. a friend of mine with his samsung galaxy s4 connected earlier and what I noticed was that when he was entering the hidden networks details it had the options cancel and connect. When I was doing the same the options was cancel and save. So he could connect and I just had the hidden network saying just out of range. That's all. I don't know if it works on earlier android versions like that but I cannot connect on the hidden network.

Huh. I looked up your phone and it's compatible with all the 802.11 specifications, Wireless-N included. Personally I've had bad experiences with Belkin routers, I trashed mine cause the usb sharing wouldn't work . I say try creating another hidden network with your own router, just to test whether it's an issue with your phone or with your router.
