Hey Guys,
Is there any app or any way to make a "real" WiFi router out of my HTC HD2?
My problem is that the app "Wi Fi Router" jsut creates an Ad-Hoc network. But I want that "Infrastructure" Network. Because Iw ant to connect my 7Links IP Camera directly to my Phone and the Camera doesn't support Ad-Hoc networking (the Manuel does not tell this but it won't connect...)
Any ideas?
Or is there any way to make my laptop to such a WiFi spot?
I will come back for you soon
hi,
I've linksys wi-fi router model WRT54GH in my home & it has a good amount of signal strength to cover entire area.
My recently bought galaxy S2 is able to identify linksys wi-fi access point & connects too with the IP assigned to it, also at wi-fi settings connected being displayed.
Now when I try to access Internet (any url google/FB), it doesn't connect at all.
I tried almost everything about router configuration, restart etc. but with no success
can someone plz help on this ?

In my case the problem was with frozen "WiFi sharing" in combination with juicy defenders "Location" fearure. It seems such combination is dangerous. Solutin (in my case):
1. defroze
2. remove all wifi networks
3. reboot (for "clean" frozing)
4. make WiFi sharing frozen
5. reboot again just for fun
Try to check your router's MAC address restrictions. In my router, as security, I have to add MAC addresses of each device to share internet. They take IP's, connects etc. but does not have accesses to internet
as above, check that there is no MAC filtering set up.
one other thing it may be is the security settings, if you have a WEP Key to access the router it may need the Hex conversion of your key depending on what level of security you have (64bit or 128bit for example)

Try setting up a static IP address for your phone, I presume your network is a 192.168.1.0, go into router settings and LAN setup, give your phone the address in a static DHCP assignment of 192.168.1.5, or any other address in the same subnet your in. Some SGSII's have problems with dynamic DHCP for some reason, some NS had the same problem too,

I have a similar problem and I fix mine temporarily by turning my wifi off, then in wifi settings > advanced, I change wifi sleep policy from 'never' to 'only when the screen is off'. However I have to do this every time I want to use wifi so it can become quite annoying sometimes.
So I can get through however only for a short period of time as it seems as long my Galaxy S2 keeps turning off my wifi even though it's on :/
I had exactly the same issue on Linksys E4200 with my laptop, could connect to network, even to router's attached storage, but not to internet. Restart helped
On SGS2, I couldn't connect to the router at all at first, but fixed this by switching from WPA2/WPA mixed mode access protocol to WPA2 private. But I guess this is not exactly your issue.

Thanks for the suggestion but MAC restriction is already disabled at router

Yes, you are right this is not an issue for me.
In fact my SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
Also at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.

My SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
So I think IP addressing may not be an issue.
Also another thing I tried was, at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.
So wi-fi router may not be an issue here, whats say ???
Even I am facing the same issue at my office network. I am able to connect to the wireless network but if I try to access any app I cannot browse. This is really frustrating looks like some issue with the modem drivers.
I was able to browse on another wifi created virtually by mobile tethering. This looks like a major bug with the current firmware. Another interesting thing to note is that the Wifi network has a hidden SSID and uses WPA2 auth scheme.
I have seen a Galaxy S able to connect to the same n/w without any issues.
Has anyone figured out a solution to this one ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I am yet to figure out a solution for this
Even I am also agree on the probable issue with modem driver.
I've D-link modem.
Are you aware of anything about this modem that can be reconfigured to get this worked ... ?? pl let me know
The wifi router at my office is Cisco Aironet 1200 Series, anyone else facing this issue ?
I'm having the same problem at work connecting my SGS2 with v2.3.3 Official Firmware (customized for Orange service provider) to a Cisco Aironet 1130 AP. I can see that the Galaxy authenticates with the AP correctly and gets IP from the DHCP server, but it cannot send or receive any traffic, although the phone stays connected and authenticated. At home, I use an Atheros based Fonera with DD-WRT without any problem.
As I'm the company's network administrator, I will try to further investigate this problem, but it seems like some kind of incompatibility between the devices or misconfiguration ....

try turn off the wifi, turn off the mobile data and turn on the wifi again
It seems the SGS2 sometimes has problems with DNS.
Try a static IP and use 8.8.8.8 as second DNS server, which is a free Google DNS server.
This fixed MY problems
I rooted my SGS2 and voila wifi worked at my office finally I have been able to find a solution.. love my SGS2 the Beast...
I'm having this same problem..
I think I've tried all the solutions above, but one (Sorry - noob question):
Rooted?
is there a firmware patch or something that I should know about?
Anyone got any other ideas?
ETA:
I can connect to hotspots (DHCP) and at home (Have to set it to static tho)
No internet
AP works - Laptop and i8910 (had to set static and advanced settigs etc). I've rebooted it a few times, set DHCP on and off. DHCP seems to be running on the router

This is an issue with SGS2 with wifi server using authentication protocol TPIK, if you use AES as encryption then it will work without any issues.
That should be a setting in my AP? I can't see it...
If I get a new non-crappy AP is that likely to solve my problem?
ETA:
Ah - that's a WPA thing? Mine only seems to do WEP - is that right?
Hi,
For starters, the android version is 2.3.3.
I have a wifi problem with the x10i. At home, there is no connection problem. I connect to my router which uses WPA (TKIP+AES). But at work, I can't connect to the wifi that uses a WPA/WPA2 PSK. This is what I see on the phone. I thought that there was a compatibility problem. So, I created a connection using my iMac that uses a WEP protection. But I still wasn't able to use the wifi. Finally, I disabled the WEP protection and then I could connect. But I don't want the wifi connection to remain unprotected.
I tried looking up this on google but could't find a solution. So, I apologize if this problem has already been adressed here.
Thanx.
Hi everyone!
My Problem:
Ive got a WiFi network at home, where the said is the stand art name.
Fritzbox.
I was at a friend of mine where I connected to his network. He has an other ssid but the same router.
And there was a router which had the exactly same said as mine at home.
When I was home my phone couldn't connect because my father configured the device that unknown devices can't connect.
This works over the IP adress the devices get.
So the part that confuses me:
Why did my device got an other IP after connecting to the router of my friend ?
Or is it the fault of the router which had the same ssid?
I would like to change the ssid of our own router but my father refuses:
This is my device and I don't want to change anything.
Funny isn't he?
So what options do I have?
Is there the possibility to stop my mobile from connecting to "known" WiFi networks? (Or as we know networks with the same ssid)
Or was the router of my frirnd which is the same as mine the reason?
What can i do to prevent this problem?
I know changing the ssid of our router is the easiest way but my dad just refuses no matter what I say.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
