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.

Tried wep, wap, wap2 personal and restarted the router. How wound I check logs?

What kind of router is it (make and model)? Is it flashed with 3rd party firmware?

Netgear wgt624 I v3 i'm not home but I'm pretty sure that's the model #. Firmware updated directly from netgear website. It's weird because I can connect to open router next to my house.

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

Okay very weird I cleared the log file on my router. Then I attempted to connect with my phone and it gave me the authentication problem. Yet there isn't a single log file on it through my router. As if the router and phone aren't even reaching. I refreshed multiple times.

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.

Can your phone connect to other routers/AP's using the same encryption? Or do you know? Possible your keys are corrupt.
I was having similar problem with my at&t htc one. I resolved it by enabling RTS/CTS protection in my router. See my post here:

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.

Then it is some issue with your router, time to buy a new one. Only other thing I would suggest is hard reset the router, reset it up and try a 10 digit passprase with all numbers

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.

I have recently lost my signal from my WiFi at home but my phone still picks up the WiFi signals from the neighbors. I exchanged my first 3d for a new one but I still have the same problem. My ipod still picks up and uses the WiFi signal and was wondering if anybody knew why this maybe happening.

Try resetting your router. Or try updating the firmware of the router. Also try forgetting the network in wifi settings and then try logging back in. Or do a factory wipe.
Locked & Loaded
just turn wifi on and off, no biggie, works pretty well.
Check out WiFi Fixer in the app market. Solved all of my problems.
Whoa, before you do all that other stuff.
So your ipod works with your router? And your phone connects to your neighbor's router? If so then most likely your router isn't a problem, nor is your phone.
Android's wifi stack does a really good job of automagically connecting to the best available wifi spot. Do you see your wifi router in the Wifi settings? If so, long press and connect to it. If you have authentication set, then it will prompt you for a password.
Let's start with that then go with more, if needed, and will probably need more information that you provide.
My phone doesn't even see my WiFi connection, it can see all the other connections only... I've traded my phone in not only for this problem but other problems and this problem still looms. I'm thinking its in my settings that were transferred from my other phone? I don't know, help please...

Man its might be your router. Have ya even tried just resetting the router back to factory defaults??? Its a tiny pin size hole on the back of your router "or at least it.should be" Henceforth, find a needle or safety pin and press the that button for like 10 or 15 seconds and wailt 2 to 4 min. After that go to your wifi settings on your phone and click on your network name and chose forget. Now look for your new network name and which should be an open and unsecured network. It should have the manufacturing abbreviation in the network name so if its say a belkin it might be -belkin123 unsecured- also it should be open because when you reset the router it erases all of the security. Also routers firmware should always be upgrade. Not saying this will solve your issue but it might and its a really quick way to rule out if its your router.

Some of the "perm-temp" root scripts caused this, if you used some of the older ones, you may be experiencing this.
The solution to it was to "forget" all your wifi connections on the phone, power it off/battery pull, then reconnect.
Of course, if this doesn't fit your scenario, disregard.
I have a rooted phone running aospcm7 gingerbread. Everything was working fine til about 2 weeks in. The wifi just stopped obtaining the ip address and no matter what access point i try it just simply cannot connect. From what i read a factory reset seems to work? i'd really rather avoid that...

Have you tried connecting to the same Wifi networks through other devices? like a laptop? It may not be a problem with the phone.

Hi All,
I have a very odd issue.
My phone can connect to my wifi router no issues. When it first connects it will browse and receive services from the internet no issues. However, after maybe 1-2 minutes all internet service requests die, the phone is still connected to the router as the wifi signal is there and strong.
I have tried changing the security on the router, updating the kernel / rom and i still encounter the same issue. I'm convinced this is a small bug.
If anyone has come across this please let me know how you dealt with it.
Thanks in advance
are you on stock ROM/kernel? Does it happen after you turn your screen off and back on?
Had same problem, router issue something about firewall, had to manually enter phone's Mac address into router

I've reserved the address on the router that includes the MAC
Seems as though security setting above WEP e.g. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] causes the issue.
Anybody know of a fix for this?

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.

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?

Hi all. At home I turn off my wifi when I go to work and when I turn it back on, my nexus 5 doesn't remember the password. My nexus S was the same. This recommends switching my router to WEP (it's currently WPA-PSK), however I'm not sure I actually CAN change this in my router settings. Shouldn't it just work anyway, or is it a router problem? Should I just stop turning off the router? This feels like it shouldn't be a problem: why can't the phone simply paste the password into the box for this specific router name & ID, rather than me typing it?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Never had this issue and WiFi password should be stored in phone so I'm not seeing how its a router issue. But at the same time how often are you rebooting your router? I mean once a year is a lot to reboot a router

Seems odd that it would be a router issue but that's what those guys reckon.
I turn it off when I go to work or away for the weekend. Was quicker to put reboot in the title! In any case, it turns off & on.
Could you just circumvent all this by leaving the router on? Modern routers consume so little power that the cost should be minimum and the headaches from not working should be gone
Having said that I have never had a phone forget the password to my network when I turn my router off, when you go into settings on your phone is the WPA password still there? It should be, I keep my passwords stored in Google servers so every time I change ROMs or devices I never enter the WiFi passwords to any network I often visit.... In other words your phone should store the password and remember it when you are in range of your router, power cycling it should not effect the phones memory of this password

I could and will leave the router on more, but this still definitely happen occasionally. Let's be honest, it's not the end of the world, but it does feel like a core bug.
Not sure whereabouts in settings the password would be / be visible? All the other routers I've ever connected to are there, I think, so the password memory function is otherwise fine. Which lends weight to this router/phone issue.... however it feels like it still ends up being a phone bug, since all it takes is for the phone to paste a saved string correctly. Wish I could get other people to replicate this but IDK how they would!
Is there an obvious option to store them on the google servers?
Open settings/WiFi/ and you will see all stored hotspots, long press anyone to see if it has proper info
You may have some setting in your router that tells it to disallow devices to connect after reboot, you can go through router settings and see what's going on there, often
192.168.01 or 192.168.1.1 just see your owners manual for proper settings, or go to the OEM website of router for some tips
