Wifi suddenly won't connect on my home network. It is stuck on 'Obtaining IP address' and showing only one bar when normally it shows 4 bars.
I have reset the modem and the router.
I have tried Forget Network and then get the message 'Protected Network Available" (the network has no security settings turned on) The home network is not removed from the list of available networks.
If I try Advanced; Modify: Save... I get a message "Avoided poor internet connection"
I have tried a soft reset and a hard reset all to no avail.
Any help and advice most gratefully received.
I fixed it.

Since Yesterday my wifi hasnt been working. It just randomly stopped connecting and im not sure why. It askes me for my network code and when i type it it (exactly how it is) it says network key incorrect and wont work. and when im at my friends house whhere there is no need for a network key, it says that IE cannot display the page. Also it keeps trying to dial out verizon broadband when my wifi switch is on. Isnt it not supposed to do that?
Just because the Wifi switch is on does not mean the wireless is enabled. Have you tried using the connection management button (the one just below the power button) to bring up the connectons screen nd make sure that WLAN is enabled and it's not in flight mode or anything.
Also go to Start > Settings >Connections > Wireless LAN
Check the MAIN Tab.. you should see all the fields filled in and a signal Quality Meter.
The ADVANCED Tab will show your IP and Status..
That should help you determine if you are really are connected.
yes my wifi is enabled in the connections manager. and in the settings it does not show that i am connected to a network.
when you search for wireless networks, do you SEE yours? or are you entring it manually?
yes i see mine. It pops up to notify me and asks for my Network key. and when i enter it it tells me its wrong but i know its not beacause i was looking right at the linksys network on my home computer.
I seem to remember there being an issue with WPA keys at some point.
Try removing the security from the access point... then try to connect. (I'm not suggesting this as a perminent fix, just to see if it's a problem connecting, or a problem with the encryption. Turn the Security back on after the test.)
I know you tested at a friends.. but try this anyway. If you can connect ok, then you have an encryption issue... if you still cant, you have an issue with the wireless itself.
what ROm / Radio do you have?
What kind of security do you use? WEP? / WPA-PSK?
How Long is your key?
Yes i think its my encryption becasue i went to work today (A campground) and connected to their unsecured network right away. My friends internet is always messed up anyway.
I am using DCD 3.2.5 ROM
and radio 3.42.50
Its a WEP Encryption and the code is 10 characters long
My wifi connection starts connecting then stops and show the network as unavailable. I have a G4 Wizard running the diamond ROM. I've disabled the proxy settings for GRPS and it still doesn't work. I've tried connecting to secure and unsecure networks and nothing, any ideas?
have you tried just rebooting the phone? It happens to mine too sometimes i try to connect and it just wont latch on for some reason. But after i reboot the phone it connects no prob.
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!
Hello,
I've had this problem for a while now, but it used to only apply to my schools wifi. After updating to Marshmallow it applies to every network.
When I try to connect to a wifi network the status changes to "connecting" and after a while it switches back to "saved" . When I try to connect again it doesn't do anything, the status remains "saved" , but the phone just won't connect to WiFi.
I've tried almost anything I could think of: static IP, resetting phone and router, turning on "use legacy DHCP client" (uses DHCP client from lolipop), a Factory reset, turning off "location" services and turning wifi on from airplane mode. The router's fine, no MAC-addresses have been blocked.
When I go to advanced wifi settings it does show the MAC address, but says "not available" for the IP. Even when I'm using a static IP the IP address won't show up in advanced wifi settings.
I really don't know what to do anymore, and was hoping someone here could help me. Any suggestions or help are more than welcome.
Hi guys,
Weird problem:
Since I'm on Android 12, my Nord 2 loses internet connection on open wifi networks.
On Android 11, never had a problem. I choose the open wifi at work ''AZ-D guest'' (free Wi-Fi from the hospital), and stayed connected all day.
Since A12, once I connect to the same open wifi at work, the pop up screen asks to agree the policy and I can use the network a few minutes. After a screen off and unlock screen, the wifi stays connected, but notifies ''no internet''
Forget network and reconnect: no pop up screen appears to reconnect, only solution is restart the phone...
Same problem with the free WiFi network from my internet provider called ''Telenet Hotspot'', also one time able to connect, but after a few minutes of inactivity, stays WiFi connected, but 'no internet'
Tried already:
- reset Network settings
- change private DNS to cloudflare or Google DNS , or without DNS
- disabled 'standby optimisation during sleep'
- use static AP
- use device MAC address
Nothing helps...
Any solutions?

No option, I like my OS up to date, not easy with this device's late update policy
