Hi
I seem to have a problem using Public Wifi. I've tried using it in my local Walkabout and Mcdonalds. It connects but i am unable to use it , the signal seems good enough. Wi-fi at home and at a friends works fine. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Hi,
I am currently running MoDaCo r21, Froyo on my Desire and I am having a strange Wi-Fi issue.
When I am at home or at my parents, my Desire will connect to the Wireless networks no probs (WPA & WEP respectively), however, when I connect to my work Wireless network (secured with WEP), it obtains an IP address and connects no problem.
However, I cannot actually seem to access any data when I am on the company network?
There are laptops in the building which are connected and my workmate has just got a Samsung Galaxy S, which connects and surfs no problem?
Anyone got any ideas of what I could try?

I have the exact same prob, but at home.
but mines hit n miss, sometimes runs perfect, sometimes, in-spite of being connected, I get no data.
Hello folks,
since yesterday i have a strange Wifi Problem:
I'm running a WPA2 Wifi which runs perfectly till yesterday.
I was using it with the
desire for more then 2 weeks now.
I see myself "online" with the small Wifi Icon with full power wifi, i can ping and connect to other pc's and macs on my network but if i want to get to the outside behind my router, everything is dead.
I can see the connection request for google in my router for the desire, also i can see that the access is granted, but i get no answer. The router was not changed.
First i thought of a DNS Problem and pinged www google com (removed the dots because i am a new user) from a terminal.
No answer. I pinged the ip of www google com (removed the dots because i am a new user), still no answer.
On my PCs this worked.
i can ping anything in my network, even the router so this should not the problem, but when it gets outside the router no response.
I have searched the xda up and down and did't find something which could met my criteria.
I'm using Pays Rom 1.3 if someone want to ask.
I'm on static ip addresses and yes the desire and the router are on the same network and netmask
What did i change yesterday?
I switched to a new Simcard from the same provider. Had to type the login data for google and everything worked, i thought. Till i tried Wifi today.
If i use Edge there is no connection problem, but if i am at home i want to use wifi.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Problem Solved!
I tried different things like removing the wlan on my phone and adding it back up.
Adding a different dns-server, restarting the phone, etc.
This all doesn't solved the problem, and i thought it could be no problem with the router, as all the other pc's could connect to the net.
BUT i thought i should try to reboot the router itself, just to test everything and what shoud i say: Its working again. So it was no android problem.
Maybe the router was a bit upset for running for more then 6 weeks without reboot, i don't know. So this can be closed

Hi all,
I have done a search for this but cannot find someone with my exact problem so have given up and post my first thread. Still slightly a noob to this, however I cannot connect to my home WiFi. It gets stuck in a loop trying to receive a IP from the router, basically I can see the router but that is it.
My phone is running clockwork mod and a stable version of Cyanogen Mod 7.1. The router is a Belkin wireless N.
I have tried using a static IP on the phone, adding MAC address to router (90% sure both those details was input correctly) Adding the Wifi network manually to phone. I have tried connecting on to other WiFi's, have only managed to connected to half of the ones I have tried. It worked at the hotel I was staying at for work and my uncle's home network, but will not work at my uncle's work network or mine.
I don't think I have left anything out.
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance

Are any of the networks you're trying to connect to use any security?
Also, run alogcat; maybe that will show where the errors are.

Yea, my uncle's home, work and my router use WPA/WPA2, cant remember the hotels one but I would imagine it would be the same. Oh also tried my router without security and it's still the same.
OK, doing a logcat now, but what do I do then? just looks like tons of code. Does it just loop over and over again?
Are there any known issues between android and belkin routers? as I have just remembered that my cousins android tablet and his Samsung S2 phone wont connect either and they are are not modified in anyway(rooted or custom roms)
I got this phone and now I know about the problem with the wifi I cannot connect to any network via dhcp. The phone just keeps looping but it never gets up. I read a lot about this issue and some people is blaming the routers which is wrong. how is it possible that my pc, nexus 7, smart tv, receiver and blu ray are connected and my phone not?
I am able to connect if I put static ip. But when I want to connect to a public wifi or hotspot which requires to enter a password on a web page I can't.
So is there really a solution beside changing the phone or putting static ip¡

Hello guys. I've been having this issue to connect to public wifi (i.e. at Starbucks) ever since I updated to Nougat and Oreo. Non-rooted. The last time it worked was on Marshmallow.
Tried to restart phone, use different browsers, enter google.com or other sites as testing.... still can't connect to the public wifi with my HTC10. It won't popup the page where you need to enter 'starbucks wifi password' to enter. Although I can use my laptop to connect to it fine. So it's definitely my phone's issue.
Connection via 3G/LTE and private wifi is fine. Just the public wifi isn't working. Any ideas?
