I am having problems connecting to my home network with the EVO. I have a DLink-655 router with WPA2 encryption. I went in and looked at the network key which is a ton of characters. I put that key into my phone and it tells me its unable to connect to the network. If I turn my encryption off, it connects to the phone just fine. It is also set to mixed for B, G, and N. Can someone please help me out.

Set it yo WPA2-Personal and make your own passkey. i have the same router and have no problems with it set up that way.
It is on WPA2 Personal. Is your key like 50 characters long that you have to input into the phone?

this def should be in the questions board ...
with wpa2 personal YOU set what YOU want the password to be.
it can be 50 characters or it can be 5 ... up to you cuz you're the network administrator! good luck Mr. Network Administrator!
Ok I figured it out. The one that was generated for me was 54 characters long and I know I put it in the phone correctly. I just did what you suggested and create my own key that's around 23 characters long. Hope that is secure enough.

Hello everyone! My SX66 is acting funny. I just hard-reset it yesterday to get a clean build due to some other bugs that popped up after hard resetting and interrupting the automatic ExtROM CABs installation. Now everything seems to work fine except that I can't connect to the Internet. The WiFi shows strong signal strength and that it's connected to the AP, but in the network settings it says that it's trying to connect to "Work." Well, I don't want to connect to "Work" cause I don't have a special VPN or anything, just a plain old AP. So I change the setting and click OK, but as soon as I do that, it changes right back. I've tried turning the interface off and on again after making the change, but it always reverts to Work. Does anyone know the Registry key for this value? I have had other instances where a value seemed to be stuck and I successfully changed it in the registry, but this one is stumping me.
Ok, now it appears that it's no longer the "Work/Internet" selector that's broken, it's the Network Chooser in the Settings menu.
Normally, you have My ISP, My Work Connection, and whatever your GPRS/EDGE provider is... In my case, it's MEdia Net. Well, there's a fourth network in there that appears to be sort of symlinking to the My ISP connection profile. I know it's not supposed to be there. I can rename it, but I can't delete it, and whenever I select My ISP as the default, the system selects the other "clone" of that profile. Other than doing another hard reset and hoping for the best, I'm out of ideas.
Uh... He he he... I fixed it... well sorta.
The AP wasn't connected to the internet.
It's not actually mine, it's my school's, but still...

Ok.. now that ive had time to cool off, here is the problem.
I work at a University. On a laptop, connecting to the Wi-Fi is a fairly painless process. Its a secure network, so it requires us to use our credentials (ie, our network login/pass phrase) to even connect to the Wi-Fi. Note that when i say pass phrase, that means its farily longer than a standard password. My own is somewhere in the neighborhood of ~20 characters.
The problem with my Touch Pro 2, lies in the final process of connecting to this network, where it will ask me for this information (login, password, domain). I get about 6 characters of my password in, before it pops up a message saying "Unable to connect", as if it thought i was done typing and went ahead and tried to connect.
Heres more info.
Auth: WPA2
Encryp: AES
EPA type : PEAP
Ive tried using Portrait keyboard, Landscape keyboard, and hardware keyboard.
edited for more info.
Seriously? NOBODY else has had this problem?
damn
my touch pro2 has this problem,too
anybody help us

umm.. then how will i see the network?
The issue is, in the way it asks for it. Its not something i can make a cert or something i can type before hand. Only thing i can do is try to connect, the Network will then ask me for a log in. If i manage to get it typed in, in time, i can save it and it will hold for a bit, until something happens like the network goes down. Which then, removes the saved log in, and i have to do the whole dam process over again.
No problem here and I use 20-character network keys on my WPA or WPA2 encrypted wireless networks (I manage or maintain several of my friends or clients networks)
Can you add and configure a connection to your network by pretending it to be a hidden network (non-broadcasting SSID)?
changing to hidden didnt work.
Ive also tried going into the Advanced settings, and on the LEAP tab, entering in my information manually, but when i do that and try to connect, it attempts to, then stops, tried to connect to a saved network that isnt in range, then stops like it didnt find anything.
LEAP - you need to configure to a domain network?
How did you try configuring for a hidden network?

Aye, we use a domain, and i have that info typed into it.
I just went though the network settings and check the box that it was a hidden network?
still having this issue. Trying to use the Enroll section by typing in my creds doesnt work, as it just tries to connect, sits for a second, then disconnects. At some point id like to try a cooked rom, but not gunna do that for a while (least till i read over it a couple more times) and even then can't guarantee the new rom wont have the same problem.
Any other suggestions?
bump-bump-bump
nobody know how to fix this hua
Anyone have any new info about this? i still cant type my password in fast enough..
Is their anyway to get it to WAIT for me to hit connect before actually trying to connect?
Just moved into a new house that currently has TalkTalk and as I am renting a room... I am trying to connect to the internet from my HTC Desire, but when I input the WEP Key, which I believe to be correct. All I get is "Obtaining IP Address from talktalkf88d3" i.e. the router name, then nothing...
As I am a bit of a noob with networking/wireless etc... I haven't a clue what to do.
There are currently 2 devices running off wifi (1 PC and I Laptop) & when it says enter WEP Kay, there are also options "Key Index - 1 to 4"..
Can anybody help me out or provide links that show me step by step what I need to do to get my Desire back online .
hi
my Mrs has talktalk, the router thats white that looks like a photo frame, THE FIRST thing i did was change the security to WPA2 or however it looks like in the router admin. i never tried to join the network when it was on its default WEP, as thats such a insecure security type.
change it to WPA2 (or what its called on the router) then re add. you will find it works as it does for me on my vodafone FroYo desire.

i have had this a few time, with me its been when typing the wep key in incorrecty, i have been mistaking the o for a zero and vice versa, it just keeps saying obtaing ip address then it says limited or no connectivity, so after a few attempts i get it right and connects.
Hope this helps
I work for and have Talktalk at home. Try moving nearer to the router as you may have signal issues. Also try wpa2 as that works fine for me.

If its a Talktalk router the key is usually on the back of the router on a label with the network name unless it has been changed obviously

Are you aware that it IS a photo frame?? I have the same one lol
yeah i am aware just not got a photo for it yet, all my nice ones are on my Desire in beautiful 3D glory.
Pretty much every time I try to connect to my home wifi, it keeps getting stuck on authenticating then it will fail and do it over again and again until it says network disabled, poor connection, even though it has a full 4 bars... I've tried turning it off and back on, I've tried forgetting it and redoing it, I've tried restarting the phone.. The only thing that seems to work is for me to unplug my router and plug it back in while leaving the wifi on my phone on. When the router boots back up, then my phone will connect. I would say it's something wrong with my router, but my other phone has absolutely no problem connecting.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Oh yeah, the phone WILL connect if I turn the password off on my router. I am 100% sure I'm putting the correct password in on my phone, I've checked it numerous times, plus as I said, the phone will connect if I reboot the router every single time I want to connect, so the password is definitely correct.

Originally I was using the stock ROM on 4.0.4, now I'm using the most current CM9 nightly. Have the same problem on both ROMs.
Found a solution, set up my router so that the security is disabled, but so that only the mac addresses I allow can get through. Works perfect and no loss of security.
MAC Address Filtering is NOT secure!

One could easily listen on your network to scrape your MAC address, and then spoof it. I suppose one could brute-force WPA encryption too, but it's much harder.
You can always just set a static ip. Tap and hold the wifi network and tap advanced and change dhcp to static and go on your pc and find your ip by launching cmd and enter ipconfig. Then enter the info cmd gives you onto your phone but to avoid ip conflicts just change the end of the ip address to something else like 84 no devices usually use that.
Ive seen that issue attempting to connect to my own wifi a couple of times, and in every case it was caused by the wrong PW. I would reset the PW on your router so you know exactly what it is. they are case-sensitive so it could be that you mistyped a letter or two on either the router or your phone. you should also be able to connect using WDS iirc, assuming the router supports it (most newer routers do)
Hello guys, I have a trouble.
Since I bought the phone I am with constant disconnections with the wifi of my house.
The signal is strong and other devices work well.
I have tried several things.
1. disconnect and connect from the toggle switch.
2. connect and disconnect airplane mode.
3. Rename the router's ssid.
4. I also deleted the password and wrote it again.
and I do not remember if anything else.
I am currently in the official rom and I do not know what else to do.
Maybe it's a trouble of the rom or the hardware?

Maybe it'a an IP conflict with one of your device connected to the router. Try to edit your wifi settings. Set IP SETTINGS to STATIC, then edit the end of your ip address to a higher number. Example from my attach file. My ip address is 192.168.1.3, try changing 3 to 5 or any number up to 255. It'll be 192.168.1.5 and save.
I'm having the exact same problem

Go to your router settings and change the password encryption to WPA only.

OP did you solve your wifi problem?
i also had that problem. phone had hardware failure so sent it back. havent got my phone yet.
Fixed my wifi issues by setting up a second router as access point and connecting to that instead. I was sure it was not my default router at fault because no other devices had issues with it. The problem showed up just 1 month after i bought the phone so i was sure it was the phone at fault since no other phones or computers had issues but i guess not
still no fix? this problem appears once every or every second day and only a restart helps. on every rom.
