A bit more info would help us help you. Whats your level of understanding? Are you new to android? Is your router wireless b, g, n? What type of security do you have implemented? What happens when you attempt to connect? Can you scan for networks? If you can do you see any, do you see all but yours?

You can try to change the wifi signal type in your router's settings

1st, make sure you can connect with a pc over wifi, also make sure you're wifi is on a channel between 1- 11(if in the us). My guess is that the problem is in your security, make sure the password your using is right, try setting your router to use wpa2 personal with aes encryption, try switching off your security long enough to try and connect, if you can than thats the problem. It also could do with the dhcp server, go to settings >wifi settings >hit the menu button and go to advanced > set a static ip with in the dhcp pool, ie. If you have a linksys router, the lan ip would be 192.168.1.1 if so if the dhcp server is set to use up to 50 addresses 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.50 would work

I can't get the tab passed obtaining ip address status on my gf's wireless dsl. It works at my house but not here. I put in the password correctly but it won't connect. I also cleared the dhcp list using root explorer and no go. Any suggestions?

Cheak if the MAC address filter is enabled on the router?

No mac filter just WEP

You sure Tab can use WEP? Why does she use WEP, it is totally outdated and unsecure.
It's connected before now it doesn't. They're technologically retarded so the encryption method they don't care about

Dug out an old spare router to check, the Tab supports WEP.

<offtopic>I feel duty bound to suggest that you upgrade it for them as much as possible. They might not have the understanding but it only takes one curious 13-year old wanna-be hacker to break WEP in ~1 minute and they'd be potentially liable for all the dodgy porn/bomb-making lessons/copyrighted material that the aggressor downloaded.</offtopic>
I got my GS2 not too long ago, and from the start, it's had issues connecting to my house router. I've tried the wifi elsewhere, and it works just fine.
I have about 7-8 other devices that connect to my router in my house, and they all work. Why doesn't my GS2 work? It's still on stock rom.
I have Verizon FIOS and the plain router they give you, if that matters. Looking for answers before the 30 day window if possible.
Have you tried restarting your router?

Or check for a firmware update for your router.

Is your router a D-Link? The SGS2 hates D-Link's. It has a fondness for Netgear's.

It's an Actiontec. Never heard of that brand.
Is there anything else I can do or check to figure out this problem?
Nvm. I restarted the modem, forgot the connection, then reconnected it. It worked, though it's kind of a weak signal. Thanks given to those who posted.
not the first time I've read that people were having weak wifi signals on their SGS2. I have yet to experience this myself so I'm guessing its incompatible with some routers. I have a verizon fios router and it works great.
I've noticed weaker signals on my S II compared to my captivate and my wife's Atrix. Nothing huge.
That's off a westell 327 dsl router.

I've had no problem connected to secured wifi, but whenever an open wifi is available and I get the notification, when I try to click on it, I just get a Settings crash / force close notification. If I try to manually go into settings and into wifi, it does the same thing. Phone is unrooted - anyone else having this issue?
wifi fix? not for me
I found somewhere online that you can punch *#*#526#*#* into your GSII, and it fixes wifi problems. When I do this, it does begin a driver download, but it never seems to finish. I'm still having the force close issue when trying to open settings to connect to some open wifi sources.
Ok so I've been running an unsecured network at home cause I didn't know how to set up a password. If well today I talked that issue and my network is now secured with a password. So when I try to connect my note to my network it asks me for my password, which I enter without fail because it seems to accept it, however I'm not connecting to the Wifi network. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Restart the router and the phone then try to connect again.

+1.
Also try forgetting the home network on the phone then reconnecting.

After you type in the password click on the network name again and click connect I have to do that sometimes for it to work

Tried all suggestions but still no joy. I know I'm entering the key right because it worked on my laptop.
Any other ideas?

Ok I've tried everything, but I can't get my note to recognize the wifi. Plus my laptop is extrememly slow now that it is secured. I'm contemplating uinsecuring it to solve all my problems.

Network will be a bit faster unsecured, but not recommended of course
But now it won't recognize? Or won't connect?
You try all the different types of security?
Try to use a channel lower than 11.
You're on a developers forum and you don't know how to set-up a wifi password on a router. Wow!

There should be some sort of test you have to pass to get an account here.

Yeah, a reading comprehension test would be excellent.
Read the OP before you jump in on a negative comment.
Is this an example of second rate. . .

If you have something helpful to add, add it. Otherwise, move on.
This happens on my note from time to time. Disabling then re-enabling wifi on the note usually fixes it.

I remember having to delete the wifi list because tapping 'forget network' wasn't doing that.
I also recall fiddling with a wifi supplicant file. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

I agree, and you sir would fail miserably at being a decent human being. Piss off.
So anyways, did you try a lower channel? Is it an 'n' router?
It Is an m router and I did try lowering the channel, still no luck.

Try setting upnp inside router settings. Shot in the dark, but might work. What type of p/w protection are you using? Are you having issues with anything else connecting wirelessly?
Well, I use my network with open security. But I allow devices to connect if their MAC address is in the list.
How could they screw it up so badly. Ics no problem at all. Jb cant find wifi cant connect cant download from play store an so on and on.
Damn it.
My wifi is really good. Even far away from the router

I am having trouble even finding wifi not to mention I am unable to connect to a couple wifis I used to use on a daily basis before.

weird. mine is working fine, at least you know its something that can be fixed.
WiFi working on all my devices running Android 4.1.+
Try forgetting and rescan and reconnect. Sometimes that will help

As above.....also router security settings might be causing a problem, I had that, in fact most Wi-Fi problems with the S3 seem to be router side from my observations, but that is just my humble opinion
On my old HTC HD2 after a Rom upgrade it wouldn't detect WiFi networks on channel 13. Our router was just on that channel. In the phone's WiFi settings go to Advanced and you should see something like channel range. Best of luck

I've heard of this issue with WEP (or one of those wifi acronyms) not working. I can't remember if it's AOSP only or if there's a fix but I'd definitely ask in the AOSP circles if you don't get something useful here. If this helps in your searching, there's some guys with netgear stuff not working that posted and it turned out to be the encryption type and they made some changes and it started working or quit dropping.
Jayochs had the problem I believe

My Dna wouldn't work with my router when it was set to use wpa I changed it to wep and now it works fine. I guess it all depends on the router.
