Hello.
I have this weird problem.
So, if i turn on the wifi it sees my router, full signal(i am standing 1-2 meters away from it).
But, when i try to connect to it, the signal drops to minimum and it won't connect anymore.
It seems to do the same with other routers.
I was running FireDroid, now i switched to AOKP and it does the same stupid thing.
Is there any fix?
What channel is your router running on?

Do you try a Factory Reset?
I think you should try to flash stock C.1.10 and after that flash aokp and retry your error...

i hava wifi problem too
what should i do?
Xperia U (like the rest of the new Xperia phones) does not "see" channels 12, 13 and 14. I've been looking for a way to fix this but so far i haven't been able to.
AW: Xperia U WiFi problem
Hm, do your router send with b/g/n?
Turn off the "n", now it should work

Why would i want to switch to a slower protocol when the problem is in the xperia's software? All my other mobile devices and computers work perfectly on channels 12 and 13 which are the least "crowded" ones in my building, but xperia forces me to use another channel (from 1 to 11). So the easiest solution is to change the wifi channel from the router setting while maintaining the n protocol (you don't have to switch to g).

I switched the channel.
Now it works.
Thanks a lot.
It would be nice if Xda devs would try to make a WiFi mod that will increase the wifi range and make wifi connect to all channels.
Sony was too lazy to do it.
Sony: Make, Forget.

finally got it to work.. i had 2 modems aligned together for the internet access.
had to remove one modem and use only a single modem for the internet access, and after that it was all fine.. think it was just the gateway problem after all..
thanks y'all...
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?

Wow, i dont know about those channel things that at all..lol. Thanks buddy, i'll try to google for that see if i can find anything.
Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I have something to ask.
Currently I am having an Xperia Ray. Rooted. Boot loader unlocked. Running Ray Onium v7 GB with Aire Kernel v7. Everything runs perfectly without a glitch.
However when I update to ICS, both stock ROM or Cook ROM (Ray Onium v6 ICS, JJ ROM 2.5 and team Kang ROM), I find that my wifi is not useable.
I'm sitting about 1m away from the router, the signal is excellent but I can't browse the internet or go to the market.
I have tried both with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. However when I connect to an open network, everything is fine. I'm using WPA2 encryption for my Linksys 54g router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
What kernel did u use

I'm using XRay 6.2.5, it doesn't work. I also try Aire, Official Kernel, but my ray still cant access the internet.However when using GB, everything's fine.

I've tried with SEUS, no luck.
The point here is that it gets connected very fast, however there is no internet. On GB everything is perfect.
I have the same issue, everything perfectly on GB.

I've been having similar problems with my wifi since updating to ICS. My problems are a little different though. WPA2 network here, the phone can see the network fine and it connects quickly, I can browse and stuff just fine, but every so often the network just /disconnects/. Usually it'll reconnect a few seconds later, but sometimes I have to open the wifi settings screen before it'll reconnect, and sometimes it doesn't reconnect at all. When it doesn't reconnect at all, the settings screen says my network is either out of range (it picks it up the moment I hit Scan) or had an "authentication problem", and I have to manually connect to the network.
Kinda weird and very frustrating, because sometimes I'm connected for hours without a problem, and sometimes I'm getting disconnected every few minutes.
When SE released their alpha and beta ICS roms, the wifi either didn't see my home network, or it saw my home network but couldn't connect, instead just infinitely cycling through "Connecting, Disconnected, Not In Range, Connecting"
Same problem happens regardless of what kernel or ROM I use, it happens in CM9, AOKP and every other ICS ROM I've tried. :/
A similar problem it seems...
When I want to download an app via Google Play simply it doesn't start. I touch back button and try to download it again and voila! The same fast wireless..
But it simply does not start at first try. Not only Google Play downloads but also all other internet using applications do that strange behaviour.
WPA2 and 801n

I have two Rays at home... one on GB and one on ICS.... the ICS one has the same problems, I think switching your wifi router to WEP seems to help and so is changing to B from N.. but then you lose higher speeds and security... but that does seem to help. On the other hand the GB ray has no problems whatsoever....
Hope this helps someone figure out a solution

Your welcome. I just also flashed official Nordic 4.0.4 from here... And my router has something called " protected mode", that is says helps for that- if WiFi signals are too many around. Try installing WiFi analytics from google play... It's free-
use a free WiFi channel.
Turn on such protected mode if you can
I also activated something called "intellistream" that prioritizes streaming in WiFi.
So far, it's going well. This way I kept the 801n and WPA security.
Before this, I was sitting 7-8 steps away from the router and kept dropping connections.
Hope it helps.... No expert here.... Joined the forum for the same reason...
tomorrow after work ill test as much scenarios as possible. it cant be router related since i have the same issue with 7 different routers. 0 problems with GB, always the same issue on ICS.
connected solid and sound, no dropping in signal, but no internet flow whatsoever.. this is the only thing that keeps me on GB -.-
Any progress?
Yeah same problem with me.
There's something wrong with ICS Rom, that needs to be fixed
Replace file
Unzip and copy this file in /system/bin (replace with original). This should fix the wifi connection. You will need root for this.
So far, so good

Hey there....
It's been working fine for me now with the above changes and the 4.0.4 Nordic ftf that I flashed from here.... the 4.0.3 does seem to have WiFi problems, but not the 4.0.4.
Hope it helps....

it's like connecting both device with usb cable but only using wifi connection either with or without wifi router... :fingers-crossed: ...
what you need is actually a couple of servers running off the sony maybe ftp or xmpp for direct tranfer. for remote admin, vnc servers are probably the way to go.

Due to lack of SIM card, I know I can't share the internet connection. What I want to do is to create a LAN.
It is possible, right?
I havd tried to install on off tool from my Xperia V, and add a widget on desktop. I successfully turned on the WiFi hotspot, but I can't set something like SSID, Password.
