So I was trying out the new wpa2 encryption on wifi tether and noticed that when I had it turned on I couldn't connect, but soon as I turned off encryption it connected just fine. This is occurring with all 3 versions of wifi tether for evo 4g, both WPA2 and WEP.
I don't recall seeing WPA2 as a choice in the wifi tether I am using. I did use WEP with no problems though.
it's the new one on their site 2.0.5
I have been able connect with encryption. When connected on my laptop, XP showed it as WPA2.
If you are using XP, make sure you have the WPA2 encryption hotfix. I had this issue with my laptop on my home wireless because it's wpa2 which XP doesn't natively support without a hotfix.

Anyone has wifi problem about WPA-PSK?
Wifi crashed after a few minutes while tethering with wpa-psk encryption.
and sometimes stop working with wpa-psk access point (still connected)
It is no problem in wifi and tethering without encryption.
I have try to wipe data/factory setting and it solved.
but.. when I install more app, it's happen again.
android task killer kill the process of wpa-psk??
Did you get this sorted in the end?
I see no WPA option in CM7 for the portable hotspot, just clear and WPA2. (unlike stock Sense on my HTC Sensation which supports clear, WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption).
My new defy+ also is missing WEP,WPA options.
The first time i used it had all these options but for some reason i had to factory reset and now i have only two options, no encryption and WPA2.
If i use WPA2 the connection is really bad.I get 45kb/s max download speed with my laptop and if i disable the encryption i get full speed ~400-500kb/s.
Is there a script or app or ROM that will enable Ad hoc network connectivity with WEP security?
In my classroom I have a mac sharing its wired connection over its wireless card - instant wi-fi. Until recently it has been unsecured and I connected my phone to the network via wi-fi.
Recently I've had to add a WEP password as students have discovered the SID. Now my Samsung won't connect. It sees it just fine but won't connect even with the password.
Please Advise how to make the connection.
Thx.
Aww man! No help on this?
To recap - I can see and join ad hoc wifi network when there is no WEP security in place. When I add a password then I can see the network and try to join the network, but when I enter the password nothing happens. It thinks for a while and then it disconnects.
Any solutions? Or recommendations about what would be the correct forum to ask in?
Sounds weird, as our phones don't normally support connecting to ad-hoc WiFi at all. The only ROM that does support it as far as I know is Alien ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376482
I'm not sure how you managed to connect to ad-hoc in the first place, and if it's not ad-hoc then it should already support WEP out of the box.
I'm using the GingerSnap ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418293
FiveOhFox, the dev, doesn't mention anything about adding this functionality but I've used it every day (Until I added the WEP and password).
Maybe I'm using the term adhoc incorrectly. This is a Mac, wired to our network via CAT-5 whose wireless card has had internet sharing turned on. This broadcasts a SID and allows wireless clients to share its internet connection - with our without WEP.
I have been trying to connect my epic 4G to my laptop through ad hoc connection. I am on CM9 Beta3 and Windows 7 Ultimate. My Epic can detect the ad hoc connection created, but the connection only last for less than 1 second, then stuck in "obtaining IP Address..." while the laptop fails to gain network access (although already "connected").
Tried the WPA2 and WEP but fails.
Does anyone solved this issue?
I would like to use Splashtop using the ad hoc as the local network...
Nevermind...
I use COnnectify instead. Now I can operate my laptop from my Epic...

make sure you have encryption enabled in your settings. otherwise, someone will piggyback off of your connection.
I have rooted my D710 and installed hotspot hack as well as wifi tether for root users from the google play. Both are working fine but the hotspot hack only provides WPA2 encription and wifi-tethering is either WPA2 or ad-hoc. Unfortunately, None of these encription wifi method is compatible with one of my devices. I know that device is a pretty old one but I am currently trying to put it on-line.
Do you know any tethering APP which provides WEP encription?
Thanks!
Anyone having trouble with WiFi? With my home router it just keeps cycling between "Authenticating" and "Obtaining IP Address". It will connect with my Nexus 4 if I use my N4 to create a WiFi hotspot. My old N7 connects to this router just fine. It has full bars and is using WPA/WPA2 PSK security. I tried WPS and it didn't work either. Anyone else having issues or have any ideas? I want to root this, but I need to make sure the wireless is working correctly first.
Edit: It appears to work correctly if I switch to 2.4 GHZ mode, but will not connect correctly under Auto or 5GHZ mode. Curious if anyone else is having this problem.
