After almost one year of happy usage of my Xiaomi Mi Box S I have encountered a very weird problem recently after a power failure because of a blown fuse.
A couple of days ago one of my fuses blew and after I had reset the fuse box and turned on my tv and Xiaomi Mi Box S I noticed that my Mi Box couldn't find my Wi-Fi network anymore. As far as I know it wasn't updating anything during the power failure. What I've noticed so far is that:
- the Mi Box S can still find and connect to other wifi networks
- All my other devices can still find and connect to my own wifi network without any problems
- If I create a hotspot via my laptop which is connected to the wifi the Mi Box S cannot find or connect with this network
The things I have tried so far to fix it:
- Reboot the Xiaomi Mi Box S
- Reboot the router (Sitecom WLR-3100)
- Factory reset the Xiaomi Mi Box S
- Changed the name of wifi network
- Changed the password of wifi network
- Changed the IP address of the wifi network
- Factory reset the router
none of these things have helped. Does anyone have suggestions how I could restore this problem? All help is very much appreciated.

The same as my problem. I don't have any solution for this, just replace the router.
I guest some configuration of Wireless driver had been broken during the suddenly lost power. Maybe re-flashing the android firmware could resolve it.

I realize this thread is a few months old but I thought I would chime in with an experience I had with the Mi BOX not showing any wifi networks. What fixed my issue was turning off a usb bluetooth adapter that I had plugged in to my PC (which was only a few feet away). I read somewhere that bluetooth could affect Wifi connections so I switched the adapter off and my Mi BOX immediately started to display all of the nearby networks again.

Any update on this ?
Having same issue with my new mi box 4, out of the box it can't see my home network, however all other networks show up and work fine. Even the hotspot created off of home network is not shown. I'm out of my wits right now.
I had exactly the same problem. Mi box started to see my wifi after I turned TKIP off option in router's wifi setup.
You need to change the channel of the router, try channel 6, it will be ok.

It's ok guys with the channel 6 ?
It's working if you change the router to channel 6. Mine was on channel 13 and after i switched it imediatly the MiBox saw the network. Thanks anarckia!
mi box wifi issues
I'm facing the same issues, everytime after power cut, mi box is not able to connect to wifi automatically, I have to restart the mi box everytime, and then to forgot network to connect again.
Change channel to 6
It's working if you change the router to channel 6. Mine was on channel 13 and after i switched it imediatly the MiBox saw the network. Thanks
I tried by changing the channel to 6 and I'm facing the same problem.
Mibox S recognizes my Wi-Fi (both 2.4 and 5.5 Ghz) but no internet access.
My laptop, tablet 3 phones and Amazon Alexa are connected to the 5Ghz without any problem (stable Wi-Fi 98Mb download)
If I create a hotspot from my phone (it uses the LTE 4G network) mibox can connect and have internet access
The most oddly thing is.... NETFLIX works even with the message ``no internet access´´ (no I don't have any download episode or movie from Netflix )
With this diagnosis I can conclude that, my router is ok (phones laptop tablet etc.. Works flawless) the Mibox S Wi-Fi antenna is ok (detects all the Wi-Fi network) the problem I imagine is some firmware configuration from the mibox (this start to happen after a power failure)
Any ideas?
thanks
I have the same problem with my Mibox S
I wake up from morning and my Mibox show notifications that No internet,
I try to connect to my home wifi, but nothing appear on the list, all of my laptop and phone can connect to that wifi normally
I also tried to reset mibox twice, reset my wifi router but nothing work.
Then i create a hospot from my 4G LTE and the mibox can connect to that hospot.
I've just returned it to the retailer, hope they will find out what is happening with my device
I don't know why or how, but my mi box wifi suddenly not working after a power failure. but my router wifi channel is always set to automatic.
changing my wifi channel to 6 fixed my issue.
Before I read this thread, I was thinking to borrow a "usb to gigabit ethernet" from my friend to check if will work on cabled network.
But now it works. thanks
just in case channel 6 didn't solve the problem, set date and time to manually set (note that your date and time was reset to old date), this will solve the problem. but on every power set you will have to set again
changing the channel to 6 worked for me.
Check your date and time, try manual setup. It work for me. After connect to wifi change your set date and time to auto
Hi Friends,
I was using a Mi TV box with no issue for the last 1 year but once I did a system reset on my Singtel wi-fi router, Mi TV box is not able to connect to the internet.
Took below steps:
1. Tried factory reset on the Mi TV box but no luck
2. All other appliances (Macbook, IBM laptop, Android phone, Iphone) able to connect to wifi router. Issue is only with Mi TV box.
3. I tried setting static ip instead of DHCP but no luck
4. Tried to connect on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channel but no luck.
5. Tried disabling the 5GHz channel on the router and checked with different channels of 2.4GHz but still same issue.
6. Based on this forum discussion, tried channel 6 (2.437GHz), did not work.. in fact tried all channels 1 by 1, nothing worked
7. Tried 'Date and Time' manual and Automation but no luck.
8. Mi tv box able to connect to my android phone hotspot.
9. Called Singtel team and asked them to do firmware upgrade on the router but no change ( not sure if it really happened or not)
Guys, any suggestion would be very very helpful.
- akash
I am setting date time to manual and then back to automatic and it does the trick until we have a fix.

I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.
My internet problem.
My internet drops between a couple of minutes till 1-2 hours after I connect with my wifi. When I reconnect it works again for a certain time.
I'm still connected when my internet has been lost, but I can still acces my lan.
When I connect to the wifi of my modem there is no problem at all, only when I connect with one of the 4 routers that are connected to the modem.
This problem is only with the use of my phone, other phones/laptops don't have this problem.
The phone is a Kingzone K1 Turbo (chinese brand)
Options I tried:
On the phone:
- I had the same problem on the Zopo zp998 (uses same motherboard)
- Tried with manual dhcp and dns server on the phone.
- Tried google dns server.
- Other devices don't have this problem.
- Used wifi fixer
- Reception and speed are higher dan average.
On the router(s)
- Changed the wifi channels and tried both 2,4 as 5ghz.
- Tried on 4 different routers I'm using.
- Turned of routing function and dhcp release on routers, and tried it with it turned on (different ip combinations)
- Used different security settings including no security
- All firewall settings are turned off.
None of these options have helped untill so far. Who has the same problem and who can help out.
For now I use onlt the modem to connect, but the wifi doesn't reach other parts of the house.
fixed..
Called my internet provider to change the modem and the problem was solved.

Hello TrNaSe,
I've got the same problem. Do you know what the internet provider did change on the modem?

I had a thomson modem before. then i got back to a samsung horizon box, after it there was no problem. Recently I change back to another modem again an ubee. I don't have the problem again, so it was something strange in this thomson.
So when I connected straigt to it, it was all fine, when using a router to connect it got this problem.

Hi, I am using Redmi note 3 Kenzo runs on RR ROM Latest Version. In sometimes my device will not provide internet through wifi. It will shows that connected to a network but no internet connection. Same time if i connected to the same network by my other phone or with my Laptop, there is no problem. I can access the internet. After rebooting the phone (Note 3), It will work like normal. Plz help me to solve my problem.
The MIUI update has bugged the 2.4GHZ wifi; it will connect and work on 5GHz, but 2.4 tries to connect - connects and instantly disconnects, despite the wifi status saying it is connected and working.
I found this info under the phones advanced CIT testing menu.
It HAS been reported on the MIUI forums, so hopefully will get fixed soon, until then, I suggest you disable 2,4GHz, so you dont accidentally run up a huge 4G data bill like I have.
Hi,
Both myself and my wife's phones worked fine with our previous ISP. We have moved to a place that our old ISP does not provide service to, so had to go with another ISP. All of our devices work fine when connected to WIFI except my wife's android phone (Sony Xperia X Compact, latest stock rom) and my old Android phone (Moto G 4G running Lineage OS 14.1).
When either of us try to connect either of these 2 devices to our WIFI, they connect for a couple of seconds, then disconnect. They go through the following steps and then constantly loop
obtaining IP address
connected no internet
connected
saved
disconnecting
Rinse, lather, repeat, they both keep doing this constantly. Both these devices work fine on other networks and worked with my old ISP, so the devices themselves are physically fine, and all the other devices in my home connect to the new ISP's router fine as well.
Ive done the following to try to resolve the issue
Forget network and join again
Renamed device names
Temporarily disabled wireless encryption on router
Made sure Mac filter on router is off
Assigned static IP address to both devices
Cleared cache on google play services
Connected a 2nd router to main router as an access point using a different SSID
Used WIFI analyzer to see what WIFI channel was being used the least in my neighborhood and changed the channel on the router accordingly
Turned airplane mode on and off
Turned device off for 30 seconds then back on
Reset network settings
None of these steps have worked, the only thing I haven't done is factory reset both devices which my wife isn't prepared to do with her device but I might do with mine. Are there any other steps that might resolve this before I pull my hair out ?.
Thanks in advance.
@J0hnick
1. A Factory Reset doesn't take effects on Android's system settings
2. Android by default always tries to connect to near-by Wi-Fi networks you've connected before. Hence you've to remove saved networks ( i.e. Forget network ), then add new new network ( i.e. Add network & Save)
Have you tried restarting the router?
I can't share the internet from my mi note 10 to other devices. I have already reset the phone, changed the IP address, dhcp, configured my data chip again, and still nothing works. On my old cell phone, mi 6, it works perfectly.
reset your network settings and then reboot it will start working
