My home network is WPA/wpa2 and my neighbors network is wep, I can connect to mine but not his, but everyone else can connect to his. I know I have the correct password, it just says connecting but I don't get signal, any tips? I'm s-off rooted running carbon

I've heard of this issue with WEP (or one of those wifi acronyms) not working. I can't remember if it's AOSP only or if there's a fix but I'd definitely ask in the AOSP circles if you don't get something useful here. If this helps in your searching, there's some guys with netgear stuff not working that posted and it turned out to be the encryption type and they made some changes and it started working or quit dropping.
Jayochs had the problem I believe

My Dna wouldn't work with my router when it was set to use wpa I changed it to wep and now it works fine. I guess it all depends on the router.

I got my GS2 not too long ago, and from the start, it's had issues connecting to my house router. I've tried the wifi elsewhere, and it works just fine.
I have about 7-8 other devices that connect to my router in my house, and they all work. Why doesn't my GS2 work? It's still on stock rom.
I have Verizon FIOS and the plain router they give you, if that matters. Looking for answers before the 30 day window if possible.
Have you tried restarting your router?

Or check for a firmware update for your router.

Is your router a D-Link? The SGS2 hates D-Link's. It has a fondness for Netgear's.

It's an Actiontec. Never heard of that brand.
Is there anything else I can do or check to figure out this problem?
Nvm. I restarted the modem, forgot the connection, then reconnected it. It worked, though it's kind of a weak signal. Thanks given to those who posted.
not the first time I've read that people were having weak wifi signals on their SGS2. I have yet to experience this myself so I'm guessing its incompatible with some routers. I have a verizon fios router and it works great.
I've noticed weaker signals on my S II compared to my captivate and my wife's Atrix. Nothing huge.
That's off a westell 327 dsl router.

I've had no problem connected to secured wifi, but whenever an open wifi is available and I get the notification, when I try to click on it, I just get a Settings crash / force close notification. If I try to manually go into settings and into wifi, it does the same thing. Phone is unrooted - anyone else having this issue?
wifi fix? not for me
I found somewhere online that you can punch *#*#526#*#* into your GSII, and it fixes wifi problems. When I do this, it does begin a driver download, but it never seems to finish. I'm still having the force close issue when trying to open settings to connect to some open wifi sources.
When I first got my Evo LTE 3 weeks ago I popped on FoxFi and I could connect devices no problem. However, the data speed was soooo slow that I ended up uninstalling it soon after.
Now with the update to the Evo I thought I'd try again for kicks.
Now, I can't connect any computer/device to my FoxFi connection. They can see the Wifi hotspot but only tries a few seconds to connect and then errors out.
Major bummer.
Any tips/tricks for this?
Make sure that when you turn foxfi on your wifi cannot connect to a router. If your wifi connects to a router foxfi will not transmit the right way and you will get error. Just go to the wifi settings and click forget connection on the phone and then try it. I was having the same issue and that fix it.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned, I turn off wifi before doing anything with it, so that isn't it.
have you tried a reboot? my friend's sgs3 just had the same problem and a reboot got everything in working order.
When you turn foxfi on it will also turn your wifi on to work properly. Just make sure is not connecting to a wireless router and you should be good to go. Just try it.

I keep assuming that purple would assume I tried the basics.
I rebooted. No good. I tried uninstalling any recent apps just in case, restarted. No good. I tried it with and without encryption, renamed SSID, reinstalled the app, tried with Foxfire add-INS. No good. We tried the same stuff on my buddies phone too. Button.

I have wifi off while trying all this, no possible way to be connected to a wireless router.
Thanks guys
Even if you turn it of before starting foxfi foxfi will turn wifi on so it can transmit the data. Go to your wifi setting and click forget on the wireless connection that you currently use to connect thru wifi and then try foxfi. Foxfi will turn on also your wifi will turn on but because you took out the router out of your connections you will not connect thru the the router and fox fi will be working again. Same problem happen to me and it took me 2 days to figure it out.

That did the trick! Thanks buddy.
I wonder if anyone has submitted a bug report to FoxFi for this?
Does anyone feel the need to use the FoxFi Add-On package with the FoxFi app?

Yes. I had no idea abt FoxFi bcuz I had rooted my fone but I uninstalled the root 2 do the OTA update then couldnt get the root back. So I looked on here in themes & apps & found out abt Foxfi. When I typed it n the FoxFi add on showed up n the playstore & tht gave me the link 2 go 2 the developers website 2 download the app bcuz Sprint & AT&T removed the app out of the playstore, so once I installed the FixFi app I also did the add on. In the menu settings of the FoxFi add on app it lets u hide ur mobile hotspot usage 4rm Sprint so they dont kno ur data usage on the hotspot. It works fine 4 me, I checked it 2 c if it notices it when I chk my data usage & the mobile hotspot data is 0....this is a gr8 app!!

Ok so I've been running an unsecured network at home cause I didn't know how to set up a password. If well today I talked that issue and my network is now secured with a password. So when I try to connect my note to my network it asks me for my password, which I enter without fail because it seems to accept it, however I'm not connecting to the Wifi network. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Network will be a bit faster unsecured, but not recommended of course
But now it won't recognize? Or won't connect?
You try all the different types of security?
Try to use a channel lower than 11.

If you have something helpful to add, add it. Otherwise, move on.
This happens on my note from time to time. Disabling then re-enabling wifi on the note usually fixes it.

I agree, and you sir would fail miserably at being a decent human being. Piss off.
So anyways, did you try a lower channel? Is it an 'n' router?
It Is an m router and I did try lowering the channel, still no luck.

Try setting upnp inside router settings. Shot in the dark, but might work. What type of p/w protection are you using? Are you having issues with anything else connecting wirelessly?
Well, I use my network with open security. But I allow devices to connect if their MAC address is in the list.
How could they screw it up so badly. Ics no problem at all. Jb cant find wifi cant connect cant download from play store an so on and on.
Damn it.

As above.....also router security settings might be causing a problem, I had that, in fact most Wi-Fi problems with the S3 seem to be router side from my observations, but that is just my humble opinion
On my old HTC HD2 after a Rom upgrade it wouldn't detect WiFi networks on channel 13. Our router was just on that channel. In the phone's WiFi settings go to Advanced and you should see something like channel range. Best of luck

unplug the cable modem and wireless router. plug in the cable modem first and then wait 2 minutes before you plug in the wireless router. while the wifi router is booting up reboot your phone.
if this help you please feel free to hit the thanks button.

This looks to have been solved in the Sprint forums.
DLNA seems to get toggled on by default on some phones.
Go to settings->wifi->menu, advanced, uncheck DLNA
You can either toggle wifi or reboot at that point.
