Our work WiFi is secured with 802.11 auth. While my N5 and N10 never had any problems connecting to it, the N9 has. It just tries to connect, showing "Connecting..." and then aborts. I can't get any connection to that network.
Using normal shared key networks, like at home or my portable hotspot, works fine.

I've had the same trouble. You may be experiencing issue #78702 in the Android bug tracker (I can't link it yet).

I can't seem to connect to wifi. The phone keeps cycling between connecting, Obtaining IP address and Disconnected.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?
Are you connecting to a WPA enabled router? I've had issues on my Droid with certain routers (D-Link for one)... If I switch the router to WEP, it will connect fine.
For a phone to not support WPA is pretty lame. I picked up the TB today but I am at work. Hopefully it will connect to my home wifi network, I will update you on my results!
Had a similar problem on one of my TBolts...power cycle resolved it.
I can log onto my WPA network with no issues. Maybe bad password?
Well, I do use WEP and it will not connect. I turned off WEP just to see and it connects fine when I leave the network open.

Mine seems to be working fine, just connected to home network - I don't get a wireless icon up in the notification bar, but it goes green on my toggle.
So it seems that there is no way to connect to a non broadcasting wifi network in any of the current froyo roms. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?
I have tried hidden wifi enabler and even added it separately, but it just says out of range when its sitting right next to the wireless router. With broadcasting on it connects with no problems.

I've done it in Vegan... what encryption are you using? I know there are issues with WEP...
using wpa2 I heard rumors that tkip doesnt work with it. This correct?
I got mine to connect running stock and TNT 4.4 but it wasn't easy. I intially went into wifi setting and "add a network" typed in the SSID (not being broadcast) and password (WPA2/TKIP) and it would find the network but not connect. I did some searches and found various suggestion but none worked.
After a lot of failed attempts I got frustrated and turned off wifi on the tablet and then turned it back and suddenly it connected with no problems. It may have been a one off thing but couldn't hurt to try it.

Ill give this a try and see what happens. But I am not getting my hopes up.
Just out of curiosity.....
What's the point of connecting to non-broadcasting router?
It's like turning on WiFi in the middle of desert?
JMO.....
turn on ssid bdcst. connect then turn bdcst off.

If your wireless router doesn't broadcast it's SSID, others can not attempt to access it.
My Stock 3588 connects fine
I have a non broadcasting router in my home and stock 3588 on my gtab. Did the connection once when I bought the tab and it has been connecting just fine for couple months now!

So not even close to true
Using a non-broadcast SSID as a security measure is probably the weakest (well...next to no encryption at all) method available.

Using a Linux PC, I can see ALL available wireless APs with this command:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 scan
Hiding the SSID is not even considered to be a security option, it is that poor. Save yourself some trouble and let it broadcast the SSID.
Hi,
I have the following issues with my Razr:
1. When connecting to my home network, sometimes the WiFi logo won't turn blue. This causes google talk to be unable to sign in. However the phone is connected to the network, internet browsing with Dolphin and Market work fine. Rebooting fixes the issue, when connecting now the WiFi logo turns blue as soon as connected and all is good.
2. I can't connect to my university's wifi: it is an 802.1x secured with PEAP and uses MSCHAPV2. When I set up the connecting (which i have to do manually by long pressing network -> modify settings) it fails to connect (says connecting to... then Disconnected). Weird thing is when modifying the network again, the settings are screwed up (e.g. set to use TLS, MSCHAPV2 unselected).
Does anybody have any ideas what to do about these (except for waiting for an update?) I am using the 651.73.18-version, so not updated so far...
Also, WiFi strength seems rather crappy with the Razr, i'm only getting ok signals where i used to get good ones with my desire and fail to connect when my cheap hp netbook connects fine...
Thanks lots for any help!!

I have the same problem! drives me crazy . Any help will be appreciated!
I can not get my ipad to connect to my GS3's hotspot. It will see it, I key in the wpa key and it doesn't connect.
It will tether via bluetooth but I would like to get it running on the wi-fi hotspot. Any help would be appreciated.
Try changing the security settings for starts.
Disable the WiFi security (aka open network), and try to connect, if it works start from there, it's most likely just a protocol issue.
If nothing works check to make sure you can connect with a different device (laptop), if that doesn't work try a different tethering app.
What are you using to wifi tether....FoxFi?
I have an un rooted n9 (wifi only), and im trying to bridge an authenticated wifi network to a hotspot using my phone and tab. Seems the n9 doesnt support wifi hotspot, or sharing its own data connection - did i miss anything?

I used phone Hotspot to set mine up in Best Buy parking lot. Not sure what you are trying to do.
Im trying to connect one device to the other (works bluetooth phone -> tab) and then connect a 3rd device to the wifi hotspot on the 2nd. I can do this with 2 phones, but need the nexus 9 to share its internet connection for this to work.
if I understand, you are attempting to daisy chain devices, won't happen unless your tablet and phone has 2 WiFi radios, haven't heard of any standard non specialty devices like that. you can either be host, or receiver, not both. you can only try to use phone to Bluetooth tether, and maybe chain them like that somehow. I haven't tried it myself.
you can see if your device will recognize a WiFi USB attached to a host cable.. just an idea..

I would create a wireless hotspot with my Nexus 9 but it looks all the tethering options are missing. Maybe because it lacks the LTE modem. This is quite stupid: I can get the connection from a bluetooth/usb connection.
Is anyone having issues getting the Bluetooth connection to hold? I can pair the devices but they disconnect as soon as they connect. I've tried clearing the Bluetooth sharing on both my phone and the nexus 9 but still nothing. :S
