WIFI Problems

My wifi if being finicky, like not wanting to connect, or even see my home router, is anyone else having any trouble with wifi?

it must be your router.

no problems here...

I was running it with the following:
SSID broadcast off
WPA2 Personal
Mac filtering
I turned SSID broadcast back on and it works fine now, someone else want to replicate those settings and see if they have problems?

I am having problems connecting to my wireless router, my Evo is saying I have a "poor signal" at my computer desk but my computer is showing me at 100% signal. I think its a Evo software thing but thats my 2 cents. I don't use my wifi often with my phone any way so no biggie for now.

I also have ssid broadcast off and I cant get it working.

Hi everybody, So far I love the EVO even without 4g. Anyway after I turned on my ssid I connected okay. I can see the market and find what I want to download. It says downloading but never does. I have downloaded apps with the 3g but I don't have a signal at my home. I always used winmo before and had no problems downloading on my home network. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what I might be missing. I got root okay and have been having a blast but I sure would like to download some more apps while I am at home. Thanks, Rick

SSID broadcast off and no issues for me thus far.

Yes, me too. Sort of.
My Evo shows 1 bar of wifi signal strength at a distance of 8 feet from the router where my iphone shows full bars. I do get decent download speeds using xspeedlabs free but the upload speed seems to cap at 750kbs where the iphone goes over 1mbs with the same test. There is definitely something weird going on.

I am having similar results as far as signal strength. Sitting 2 feet away from my router I am only showing one bar of signal strength and getting very slow speeds. All of my other wifi devices (including those that are on the opposite side of the house and downstairs) are getting signals ranging from "good" to "excellent". Something definitely seems to be up with the wifi.....

I was having wifi issues too. I'm running dd-wrt on my router. Turns out just power cycling the router fixed it. I think I'm going to setup my router to reset weekly.

I get the same issue of having 1 bar of signal strength, regardless of how close I am... even tried on 2 different wireless routers, Linksys-dual band N, and Net gear A/B/G.
I get strong signal from both routers on all other devices, iPhone, iTouch, Touch Pro, Laptops, etc...
I've played with all the settings on the EVO, turning off the mobile data and only having wifi on, changing the encryption settings on the routers... nothing seems to work.
I love the phone, but kinda bummed about this issue.

I have ssid broadcasting turned off and I'm using WPA 2 with no problems.

There is a long, angry thread about this over at HTC's own EVO forum: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/2929.aspx
I'm also getting less Wi-Fi performance on the EVO than on other devices in the house.

Using Fresh 1.0.1 rom and also the new Cyanogen rom, with the SSID off, I cannot connect with WiFi, with SSID on, it works fine. Using Cisco/Linksys e2000 router.
Tested with my iPhone with SSID off, it connects no problem. So the problem is not my router.
Is this limitation of EVO?

Another wifi HELP

my Desire wifi keeps dropping out from my home wireless modem now for the last 3 months
everyday morning i have to do a scan
sometimes it connects straight away , somedays nothing or connects & disconnects all day
also i presumed if the pc is off it still should pick up wifi from the modem still ? but seems not to
my desire is always sitting next to the modem on my desk top when home or in the main bed room approx 15 meters from the wifi modem. either spot it says
WIFI scanning
WLAN-AP-624W not in range
BUT it picks up my neighbours encrypted wifi's with no problem
when it is connected
Z-Device
link speed 11 Mbps
Rssi: -33db
my CP has been rooted & S-off apart from the cpu replaced from boot looping its stock.
2.2
32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
this is beginning to be a real PITA
.

i'm seriously thinking on buying a SENSATION from the UK & sent to AU
do these have the same problem ?

I had the same problem before. And I know how to solve it, I think. But my English is not good enough to tell you the details. Do you have any friends who can read Chinese?

See if these can help you. (I am trying my best to tell you in English...)
1st. Log in you wi-fi router. (192.168.0.1 ,ect)
2nd.Find the page of wi-fi setting. (The page with SSID setting. )
3rd.Set the channel as Channel 6 (2437Mhz)
4th.Reboot the wi-fi router.
It seems that most mobile phones can only found the wi-fi router working at Channel 6 (2437Mhz) .If Channel 6 doesn't work, try other channels, you will find a stable one.
Good luck!

It worked for me no problems for good 2 weeks now.

HTC One X WiFi Issues since Jelly Bean

Hello everyone,
since the 4.1.1 update my HOX is behaving weird on WiFi, the signal is always strong, so I doubt it is a hardware fault. But even though the signal is excelent, the throughput seems to be very limited most of the time. Restarting WiFi sometimes helps for a limited time, sometimes doesn't help.
I tried all options on my phone and it didn't help. Switched my WiFi to 5GHz only, also didn't help.
My device is stock on 4.1.1 with Hboot 1.39 and Relocked. I use an AVM Fritz Box 7270v3 as a router.
Anyone with the same expirience?
Regards

Let me guess! Software number 3.18.401.1 ?
On the road using my HOX

Since I updated, FoxFi/PDA Net+ stopped working.

I'm on a 3.19 based ROM atm. At home the situation improved a little. The throughput is poor, but at least a tiny bit of internet makes it through.
At a friends house, my HOX even manages to kill the WiFi throughput for other devices in the network until I restart the router.

For me setting a static i.p for my HOX seems to have improved the Wifi signal on JB. Maybe give that a try?

same for me, very stable connection.

Got a problem since this weekend, it won’t connect to my home wifi anymore.
It’s going in a loop of: Authenticating, Obtaining IP address, then it says poor wifi connection and starts again..
But the signal strength is excellent, I’m standing a few feet away from the router.
My other phone and tablet have no problem. And I didn’t change anything on my oneX that could explain this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try turning off 'Avoid Poor Connections' in Adnaced WiFi settings.....

There's no such setting.
I tried to setup a static IP address, phone then connects, but act like it's not (can't connect to any server,etc...)
I'll try to connect to another wifi somewhere and see if it does the same.

Set your ip to static and fill in your router deails.
Sent from...... The Milky Way

So I was able to fix my problem and get wifi back on my phone by rebooting the router
I don't get it, why all of a sudden it stopped working, while everything else connected was working fine
Guess I should have started with that...
Anyway, thanks y'all for your help, always appreciated

Wifi connections are driving me crazy

I've been suffering through bad wifi connections for so long I don't know if I can stand it anymore. I have my own wifi router and 2 neighbors' all set up on my phone and I spend time in all 3 houses. My phone is pretty much NEVER connected to the right access point and I can't use internet without backing out of what I'm doing and changing connections manually. There has to be a better way.
When I get home and pull in to the garage, it connects to my neighbor's router, deezmms. When I walk in to the house, it stays connected, 1 bar, but I can't do anything until I connect to my own. If I stay in the garage, it will eventually connect to the other neighbor, sparkx, again with 1 bar and a terrible connection to the internet. After connecting to my own, if I go to either neighbors I'm still stuck on my wifi, 1 bar, no internet. And it will NEVER connect to another until I'm COMPLETELY out of range of the the first.
I tried a few apps that didn't do anything at all. I've tried different settings in the advanced wifi settings that didn't help and in some cases gave me bigger problems. I had Tasker set up to turn my wifi off when I was in the car, which got me in to the house and connected to my own wifi in at least that one circumstance but raised a bunch of other headaches (losing connection to Gopro when I start the car at races, among others).
What can I do? I'm at my wits' end here.

You could set up Tasker to connect to different wifi networks according to your location, but i guess the GPS battery drainage would become a problem then. And the locations are probably too close for cellular triangulation to work properly.
An easy solution that might work: Set the wifi networks to the same wifi channel. The interference should ensure that they cancel each other out and don't creep into the next house etc. Also make sure the routers are physically so far away from each other as possible.
Just saw this app which might help. I don't have any experience with it though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goramart.wifijumper&hl=da

I'll try that app.. the houses are all close enough together that GPS probably isn't going to take care of it. I might play with the channels but that sounds like it might end up causing headaches, too.
Also, I did move and upgrade my router and added some big, higher gain antennas. I really think I should be getting better range out of it than I am, but I don't know what else to try.

this seems more like a problem with the placement of your wifi router? i would check what your signals look like connected to your router througout the house. i would totally remove your neighbor's connections from your saved list so theres really no chance of connecting to their network. realistically your in house wifi should be the strongest signal lols..?

Our yards are pretty big and I spend a lot of time in all of them. I know my wifi is never going to reach to my neighbors fire pit. When I pull in to the garage their signal is stronger, and then I walk in to my house were obviously mine is stronger, but I'm stuck on the neighbors' unless I manually mess with it.
I have no idea how that Wifi Jumper app is supposed to work but it didn't do anything to help my situation. :\

Galaxy Watch messing up my 2.4Ghz wifi network

Hello,
Ever since I've bought my Galaxy Watch non LTE 46mm, I've been having issues at home with the 2.4Ghz wifi network on all devices. Speeds won't go more than 18-20mbps, while on the 5Ghz I reach 350-400mbps.
My router is having these 2.4Ghz settings:
Channel 6, channel width 20mhz, mode 802.11b/g/n
All my devices: tablets, phones show the same behavior: very weak wifi speed on this freq.
Even my watch drops the BT connection to my phone in a matter of 3 meters from it, like from the couch to the desk.
I remember before having the watch that on 2.4Ghz I always got between 60-80mbps no matter the device used.

Have you rebooted your router recently? I've found that helps speeds sometimes.

Yep. I guess the only thing I can do is to try and mess with the wifi channels

That's a good idea. Maybe get an app to see channel usage around you to see what's open. A neighbor may have added things. Maybe change the PW on your router in case someone is piggybacking off it?

Well, my wifi is mac filter based, so no chance of someone from outside getting on. I have tried now with the watch turned off, speedtest returned 50mbps on my phone and 68 on my ipad. Once I turned the watch on and it connected to my phone, both devices fell to 17-19mbps.

Hi, may it be too bad reception with the clock because it is too far from your router? Is it the same problem if you put the clock near your router?

It's not about the wifi connection of my watch.It's about the fact that when the watch is connected to my phone via bluetooth, all my other devices including the phone, are having bad wifi speeds on 2.4ghz. When I turn the watch off, everything gets back to normal.

It sure sounds like an IP conflict on the network.
