I have a LG Optimus L9 p768.... the issue is.... it connects to wifi router without any issue... but when it comes to connecting to an access point(the ones found in coffee shops, airports, etc).... it just stop at "obtaining ip address". Tried many access points... but the result is same.

hello
i was so looking forward to getting my new x10 mini pro only to find a few faults some of which i can live with until 2.1 comes out (should really be 2.2 & sooner) but i cannt seem to connect to my wireless router.
i have tried several different methods, including going through all the wireless channels on the router, enable mac address filter and have only my x10 set, try all the differents security settings - but still i cannot get my phone to obtain an ip address before it gives me the unsuccessful message.
so went to mcdonalds tried their openzone and connected fine to their network.
now my next guess would be is my router is old (about 4 years maybe more) linksys WRT54GS so anyone know of any problems with specific routers at all?
i know i had problems setting up my godsons ipod touch with my router, but didnt dig any deeper on it as he wasnt fussed about it at the time - so think it could be that but will hold off rushing out to get a new router for a while yet, probably to test some other peoples routers first.
Is you SSID hidden?
I have found that on some routers, Android phones in general won't connect if the SSID is hidden.

The WRT54GS should be a perfect router to use.
Make sure you are running latest dd-wrt firmware on it, setup wifi security as : WPA2 Personal Mixed, TKIP+AES
I have these settings and phone connects easily.
Its a good router, do as above poster advised and definitely get latest firmware on. Try going on just G mode if there's no B-only old wifi gadgets in your house.

I noticed my wife's X10 mini won't connect to Channels 12 and 13. If your router is on one of those channels, try moving it to 11.
I have difficulties connecting to my wifi router at home, SMC Barricade N2, WPA2 authentication, it works only after resetting the router.
Now after turning off TKIP cypher suite (only AES), it works perfectly
update: and also helped to enable static IP... but I am using wifi only @home
Had the same problem. Changed to Channels 11 and detected imediatly my wifi network.
Hi, I have a different problem with the wifi.
At work and some other connections I've seen to have an open wifi, which i can freely connect.
However, I am still unable to browse the internet as it requires some browser authentication.
I've seen other fones (Nokia and Iphone) have their browsers popup a webpage to input the credentials.
but my mini pro doesn't display this page.
i've already tried going directly to the login url manually but still doesn't display the login page.
someone told me that this might be a limitation of android but haven't seen any reports about it...
i also saw and tried 2 apps (Open Wifi Login and Browser Wifi Login) that should have solved this but did not.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Help please....
shameless self-bump
other fones seem to have the same issue but no solution...

I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.
I recently purchased an unlocked Lumia 800. I am having trouble connecting to my home wifi network, which uses a Netgear WNDR3700 router.
My Lumia detects the network and attempts to connect, but always gives the error: There was no response from the network
The phone is completely up to date, and I have tried all the usual things like restarting the phone, restarting the router, putting the router in another mode such as G instead of N, and trying different wifi channels and security, from open to wpa2. None of these things seem to make any difference. The router does not have any kind of connection limit set, and mac filtering is disabled.
Things to note are that I can successfully connect to friend's wifi networks with the phone, and another WP7 phone owned by another household member, a HTC Mozard has exactly the same problem.
Im not really sure what else to try, maybe someone can suggest some differenr router or phone settings to try?
thanks
Hello guys, my phone model is Xperia P LT22i (unlocked and rooted) When it auto connect to saved AP, sometimes failed to connect. It stops at the stage of "Obtaining IP address". It's difficult to observe that because the problem does not happen each time. I also found that it only happens at home. I don't know the reason but I have done a lot of things:
use Static IP
change Channel
use 11g only
assign auto IP if DHCP fails
and even reset router
the problem is still here. I found that the only method is to manual connect. My friend told me that it might be nearby noise caused by other routers. Then I change to Channel 13 which fewer people use it. My phone got connection smoothly but the internet speed becomes strangely slow. Obviously, Channel 13 can solve the "Obtaining IP address" but also bring a slow speed problem. And one more thing that I consider is why my other devices, such as tablet and laptop, don't have this issue if it really caused by noise? Is it a Xperia P ROM bug? Anyone experienced this?
Thanks
can u help me by telling me what is channel 13
I have the same problem with my phone. Anyone found a solution ?
