For some reason I am unable to connect to my home WiFi network. It acts as if it is about to connect by saying authenticating and then stops and does not connect act all. Then after if I try to connect to the network again it says "Failed to connect to network". I have noticed this has happened to me before when I flashed the Viper ROM so I just went back to stock. I do not know why this issue is occurring.
Try fixing permissions in recovery. This appeared to work for me.
Something else to check is the setting called "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep": System Settings --> WiFi --> Menu --> Advanced. Try a different setting and see whether that works.

I too have been having Wifi connection issues. I was on Viper with no issues. I was trying Carbon and thats when it started. I tried crpalmers kernel with no luck. I was trying to follow his instructions to check for modules but it seems to be over my head. I dont have much experance with adb. The last time I flashed the kernel i wiped cache and dalvik before and after and fixed permissions.
Thanks

WPA2 on both home and work routers. That's not the issue for me. It seems that when I try to connect manually, it fails. When Android connects by itself, it usually succeeds.
wep has no security if you want wep to work change router to wpa/wpa2 then connect then go back to wep and then you weill be able to connect at starbucks or mcdonalds whileiing eatting or drinking your self high as hell

Wait so are you saying I change my router to WPA/WPA2, connect, and then change back to WEP and it will work?
Side note, will all of my devices still connect without having to reenter everything if I keep the WEP password the same?

Ever since I flashed CL3ANTH3ORY 1.1 (now on 1.2) I have not been able to connect to wifi at home. I was running AO5PTH3ORY before and it connected fine. Before that I was running BAMF Remix 2.1 and it connected fine.
It scans, it finds, it connects, it tries to obtain an IP Address, then it disconnects, scans, finds, connects, tries to obtain an IP Address, then disconnects, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance!
Its a known issue that is being worked on. Look for a fix soon.

Ahh sorry, I piggy backed off of the previous commenter with the wifi tether track
Wifi is working for me.. In fact, I have better range than I did stock (might be me imagining it though). Is it open or encrypted? I'd try deleting the profile and re-adding it if you haven't already
Yeah I tried that... I was hoping moving from 1.1 to 1.2 would do the trick, but it didn't help.
I have it protected with WPS. I tried using all 3 methods to connect (forgetting the network between each test)... the password, the button, and the pin. What's strange is even when it says "connected obtaining ip address" it doesn't show as an attached device on my router. Maybe that's just because it hasn't been assigned an ip address yet.
Question... Is this something that is usually controlled by the ROM or the kernel?
I'm sorry... It's WPA protection... but tried connecting through WPS as well as manually.
It's Kernal based...
And the fix in the candy store worked perfectly.
I was cruising along on his AOSP build before this morning, now that tethering is working again...back to things making "sense"...
I think you may have misread my issue... It's not an issue with WiFi tethering... It's an issue with the phone connecting to my home WiFi network.
I hope this helps. Thanks!

I did flash dream kernel 2.3.6. I just read in the main thread for this ROM that someone else had the same issue (post #591). I guess I should have given the HTC Kernel a chance, ay?
Do you have just the kernel available for downloading and flashing? I checked the official list and it isn't posted there. If not I'll just wipe and flash... I know this should fix my other issue as well with the advanced power menu (thanks again for the input), but since I have a workaround for that now (Quick Boot app) I was hoping to alleviate another wipe/flash until 1.3 of clean was available.
Thanks again for your help!
Another workaround I would suggest trying is manually setting your connection instead or relying on dhcp. You probably have a network id of 192.168.1.1, broadcast id of 255.255.255.0 and can attempt to try an ip in the rage of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.149
For more detailed stats, run ipconfig /a for windows or ifconfig -a if you are on linux/unix/osx

I can't seem to connect to my router at home. I'm able to connect to another router closer by,but not mine.I've tried changing encryption type from open to wep, to wap. But no luck. Every time it attempts to connect it says authentication problem.

Try looking at your router logs when the error happens to see why it's not authenticating. Try rebooting your router.
BTW wep and wap are not recommended for authentication...that **** can be cracked by a 12 year old. Use WPA2 personal.

So what youre gonna want to do is open your logs, clear them, try to connect on your phone, then look at your logs to see if the router even sees the attempt. It should show any errors as well.
What does your phone do when you try to connect?
edit: couple more questions...can anything else connect to your router? Also, your router is also a firewall. When you log in you might try and disabling the firewall feature altogether and try connecting.
I'm gonna try the logs now, and yes 3 computers are connected wirelessly. Also the phone says connecting...then says authenticating problem. I know my password is correct for sure. I'll check the logs now

Thats strange. Your router *should* be logging auth issues.
Have you tried forgetting your wifi network on the phone and reconnecting as new? And yourer showing password to make double sure its correct? If it is, the auth issue is probably a security mismatch. Router set for WAP, youre trying to connect with WPA2, etc. Double check your router how auth is set up.

Have you updated the firmware in your router? If so, check to see if there is any new firmware. Also what is the bit length of your passphrase? 8 or more characters. I would also have your encryption set to WPA 2 with AES not TKIP. Also try setting the channels from auto to a fixed channel, start with 1 and go from there.

I got my HTC One today and I have exactly the same router and I have exactly the same problem. Old LG 2X would connect like lightning. Tried different encryption, reset router multiple times, nothing.
Sorry if it is an old thread. sorry for bump.
I also had this "Authentication Problem" issue on my HTC Pico a few days ago.So,I also tried restarting my router, changing password and stuff like that. but it didn't worked.
out of curiosity I then switched my phone into airplane mode and waited few seconds and then back to normal. to my surprise, my phone automatically got connected to the wifi without any hassle. and hence problem solved.
After a full wipe, and flashing the 11-10 nightly, I am still having issues with wifi connections. I've had these issues for roughly 1-2 months, and it is becoming a pretty big hassle since I am eating up a lot of data without usable wifi.
Since there is a horrible rule that requires me to have 10 posts before I can post in the actual projects thread, I guess I will have to start here and hope someone sees this. If you need logcat/anything else, let me know.
I've tried turning off 'Scanning always available' and I've set the frequency to 2.4 only in the settings, no differences so far.
are you trying to connect to a wep connection or a wpa/wpa2? if so either way youo must log into admin mode on router via web browser and enter mac address of device which allows device to use router dont ask why possible security feature

It has nothing to do with MAC addresses being allowed/disallowed.
ok fella what kernel are you running stock?also are you s-on or s-off if your s-off then hopefully your aware of needing to flash boot.img via fastboot and modules via recovery.
other then im short on a answer and i would provide a logcat to palmer or zarboz as they are very well master in my opinon in kernel dev and can easily help you if your nice to them.
and the mac address issue is one of the most common problems with wifi not connecting ( which for the most part is for wep only but for me it was for wep and wpa/wpa2 so those are the three main issues unless you have modem issues on your device when can happen but not likely

I haven't jumped to any other ROMs, but it has kept up through multiple full wipes (format everything) and re-installs of CM for a solid month now. The result is the same, whether the access point is one on or off campus, at my friends house, open security or WPA2. It will connect briefly, drop, and sometimes it will show that wifi was turned off and turned back on. Other times, I might actually hold a connection for an hour or so, but those are more rare than finding a unicorn.

Prior to CM it was fine. Actually I believe I remember it being fine long ago on CM, though there's no way I could accurately tell you when about it was. This happens on every router I've gone tried. It's more like the actual wifi radio is turning off/on when it disconnects (which you can see it do in the settings if you watch). 5/2.4Ghz seem to be about the same. I've left it on 2.4GHz for a while now since that seems to make it a little more stable, but I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Do a back up and try Viper to see if that cures it. There have been others that have had issues with wi fi, it may be your unit won't tolerate something in the rom. They all have their own quirks.
Randomly, my wifi will stop working and I will be presented with a "your connection is unstable" message. It works again if I toggle wifi off and back on again.

I'm experiencing similar issues after I took the 4.4.2 update, and now previously stable wifi access points are not very unstable, I have great signal strength but it wont pass data and I get that stupid connection is unstable message.

This is ridiculous, and this is a fully clean factory defaulted install.

But have you tried disabling " avoid poor connections" and set to " auto " band or maybe even try just the " 2.4" band to see what happens.
Personally i turn all those silly wifi extra features off . worth a try

I got my VZW S4 to stop throwing that error by assigning a static IP to it. So instead of my router assigning a new IP address every time the S4 connects, it always connects with the same IP. No more of that "internet unstable" error since doing that.
Worth a try.

Randomly, my wifi will stop working and I will be presented with a "your connection is unstable" message. It works again if I toggle wifi off and back on again. I've done research and none of the suggestions have worked for me. I'm running HD 15. I cleared the system cache, reset router to factory, disabled the 5ghz (it's a dual band Buffalo router), updated firmware. Any ideas?

Download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.mariobile.bestwifikeeper app. I was having trouble, too. I have a newer NetGear router with the 5G. Since I installed this, I have 0 issues with connectivity. It's a pretty basic app...

I'm at work now (where I don't have the issues) but I will try this tonight when I get home.
