How to enter a wep encyption onto wifi tether

Ive been trying to use my htc hero to play xbox live but for some reason i keep getting "Nat Settings: Strict" and i looked this up online and its down to not having a wep key. I have tryed to tick 'enable wifi encryption' and make a passphrase but when i search for the phone it never asks for it. is there a way to encypt my phone??????

found this http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
I know it is CDMA but have a read it might help

Looks like it is a common issue with WEP and does not seem to be any fix, you may have to turn your security off which is not really advisable.

This has so much 2 do with ROM development *sarcasm.
-Thanks for helping with the order *more sarcasm.
@ least bother reading where you are posting before posting

You could turn WEP off, disable SSID broadcasting and use MAC address filtering to keep a measure of security.

[Q] Enterprise Wifi Authentication 802.1x PEAP

Hi all,
I've done a number of searches and tried some of the available solutions for other products (Nook, Galaxy) but can't seem to get this to work on my Galaxy Nexus.
I am trying to connect to our wifi network at the office which uses PEAP authentication. I can set it up fine from a laptop but can't get it to work on the phone. Anyone have it working?

I know this is an older thread, but I am having the same problem at work on my Galaxy Nexus. I tried a few apps that used to work on my other phones (most notably, Marcus95's well-known Wifi Advanced Config Editor), no dice. The app's author mentions he is aware of the issue and will fix it... once he gets enough donations to buy a phone to test his code on. Not a good sign.
Any ideas on manually configuring this? Any ideas are welcome.

I'll try it, thanks. If anyone has info on what these apps actually modify on the phone, I would be interested in investigating this further with a programmer buddy of mine.

Finally, no go. This is really annoying, why hasn't Google figured out how to integrate enterprise networking in its wifi management? Why does this work for some phones but not others? Frustrating to say the least.

Ok, I've been digging into this and it seems that the problem has to do with how the wpa_supplicant conf file (normally found under /data/misc/wifi) is written to by apps that support enterprise wifi configuration. As market apps don't seem to help at this point, I tried to manually add a wifi profile to connect to my work network, then checked out the logcat to see what was going on. I found multiple instances of what looks like the following, each line including different frequencies:
Line 327: I/wpa_supplicant(11577): wlan0: Trying to associate with 8c:b6:4f:a7:f1:11 (SSID='MYWORKWIFINETWORK' freq=2412 MHz)
Looks like a connection can't be made and the wifi interface is stuck. So, I checked out the wpa_supplicant file and the part that is specific to my work wifi setup looks like this:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
driver_param=use_p2p_group_interface=1
update_config=1
device_type=0-00000000-0
network={
ssid="MYWORKWIFINETWORK"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
eap=TTLS
identity="MYUSERNAME"
password="MYPASSWORD"
phase2="auth=PAP"
wep_key0="hjxfjxg"
priority=4
}
The problem is that when I try to edit key_mgmt to insert WEP and delete the wep_key0 value (as my work network generates keys automatically), there is no connection. This wasn't a problem when using the same method under a Google Nexus One nor an LG G2X phones, using Froyo, Gingerbread or even ICS, only on the GNex.
Is it a conf file syntax problem, or something entirely else at play here? Any insights would be welcome.

Ok, apparently, I'm the only one having this problem.
I am working with a tech support person at my workplace to see what is going on, I'll try to report back when I get some insights on how to fix this.

Please respond if you've figured this out. My work's authentication settings are very similar to yours. I'm running CM9 and am having the same problem. Thanks!

[Q] School WiFi issues

Hi, first of all, I have no idea where I am supposed to post this.
Anyway, I have a Nexus 7 FHD, and have been using it at school. My school has its own wifi, and I used to be able to connect to it perfectly fine, as I knew the password. It doesn't have any of that wifi login stuff. Recently, however, I think I've been blocked or something from it. I go to WiFi settings, and then my N7 sees the network. I know I have the correct password as my phone (d2vzw) can still connect to it. I click on it to connect, and then the network says connecting... but then after a while it goes back to the Saved, Secured with ... etc. This has been bothering me a lot, as I often need to research topics at school. I've tried spoofing my MAC address, but I don't think it works. If somebody could please help me solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
P.S.- My friend also had this issue, and he's more tech savvy than I am. He was also blocked on his N7 (first gen) and tried changing his device name and mac, but I'm not sure either of us actually spoofed our mac addresses. The first time, both of us were blocked. Then, the wifi crashed, and we both regained access. Now, only I'm blocked, and then only reason I can think of for actually being blocked is attempting to start up orbot... which incidentally failed. Please help! Thanks!

The proper course of action would be to contact your network's admin and request that you be unblocked and take the lumps that come with the actions that caused you to be blocked. Trust me when I say that most system and network admins look very negatively on attempts to get around the security. (you'll only be digging your hole deeper)
Not all admins are the same but I base my opinion on my experiences as a network admin on a .mil network for 7 years YMMV but I know the mentality intimately.

You could use Bluetooth tethering to share the phones WIFI connection with the N7. Use the phone for the WIFI connection and then enable Bluetooth tethering. (If you don't know how, google 'android bluetooth tethering'.)
BTW, the DHCP requests on the WIFI to get your IP address contain a hostname besides the MAC address. You can change that using an adb shell or root terminal and running:
setprop net.hostname HOST_NAME_YOU_WANT

Thanks for the advice! But the thing is, I don't think students are supposed to be on the WiFi anyway lol. Someone found out the password, and now I guess close to 97% of the student body uses the WiFi. The teachers definitely know, but they haven't taken any action, so who knows. Anyway, I don't know who the admin is or have any clue how to contact him... soooo I'm out of luck haha.

Hm, this sounds pretty interesting. Could you explain a little more in depth? or point me to a website or whatnot? That would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not that knowledgeable in the networking area. Would this "fix" be reversible?

Can't change DNS at Android 5.0

Hey guys. I flashed android lollipop 2 nights ago with fastboot. I am very happy with it so far but there is one major annoyance about it. I can't change DNS.
When I try to modify network settings after I change from to "DHCP" to "Static IP" I can't click save button. I also tried a few applications and all of them gave error.
The only thing I can think about while I was flashing the image I got boot.sig and recovery.sig errors but the guide video was telling to ignore those errors.
I am wondering if rooting the device would help me. I am open to any kind of suggestions.
Thanks a lot.

Might be a dumb answer, but I had that issue as well. Make sure when you fill out the info for static you actually type in ALL information. After I filled out each section manually the save button was lit and I was able to save changes. Not sure though if it worked, ipleak is telling me I still have a bunch of google dns's from around the country. Settings were saved though.

If you want to use dhcp but change the DNS server, this seems to be an open problem.

Can you change the DNS on your router instead of the device? On my Netgear I changed it so all devices use Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) instead of Comcast DNS. Works great, and covers everything connected to it either wired or wireless.
I know that isn't really a solution for the problem, but it might help in the meantime.

I did have to use a static IP. My router is set to use different DNS servers though.

A similar thread was made on the subject - link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/android-10-5g-wifi-dropping-t4037661
For practical intents and purposes it's almost like when the issue happens the phone is not able to resolve a DNS query. I base this on 2 hypothesis - first being that the phone is still connected to the wifi access point and can still access LAN resources. The second being that the phone must either poll the internet (i.e ping a specific address) on a regular basis. If the poll was unsuccessful it flags the connection as "WiFi connected but no internet".
The things you can try are:
update the firmware on your phone (if not already)
factory data reset (read note 1 below)
reset network settings
try a different wireless router (read note 2 and 3 below)
disable private dns (read note 4 below)
If you use tasker create a routine to automate a temporary solution (read note 5)
Notes
The issue maybe a corrupted setting within the phone. I have had similar issues before (not with just this phone) and a factory data reset helped. One thing to take note of is that after the phone had completed it's factory data reset I did not attempt to restore a backup. This is important to keep in mind because any issues that were present (due to corrupted settings) would exist also in the pre-factory data reset backup you made.
With my previous router I had this issue but had since replaced it with a Wifi 6 capable router. After getting the new router I have not had any further issues what so ever. Also make sure your wireless router is up to date on it's firmware. It maybe possible that the wireless router you have is old enough (from when it was released, not from when you bought it) that a replacement might be the only way to resolve the issue.
To help rule out a wireless router issue try using a different one. You can borrow a friend's internet connection for a while, or a public cafe or what ever. Point is you are trying to see if the issue happens again when you are using a totally different wireless access point (by totally different I mean hardware/model and not just renaming the SSID).
I had the issue happen when using private DNS. For what ever reason the issue was with the DNS provider I had choosen. Turning the Private DNS setting off helped resolve the issue. After turning the setting off it may take a bit before the phone recognizes it was turned off, but you can hasten this process by toggling WiFi off and back on.
The Tasker option is one I did and it worked quite well. You may need to adjust the routine to suit your particular needs but it's basically what is at this link here. Best part of this option is that you can have it only activate when your connected to the problematic wifi access point and every X number of minutes (helps ensure that you use it only when needed). The routine (when setup correctly) should run every 10 minutes in where it attempts to access a website and assigns the results to a variable. The variable is then checked to see if it matches a specific result (in this case an error code), and if it does match it will toggle WiFi off and back on (after a brief pause/wait period between toggle off and toggle on) automatically. Granted it sounds like a lot of work, but it's really not that complex. Also I consider this is a temporary solution because you may find that on later firmware updates applied to the phone (or you may end up getting a new wireless router) the issue will have been resolved.
