Hi, hope I post this in the right place, This is a rare occasion when I have a problem that no one has posted before me. Anyway here goes. HTC Incredible-unrevoked forever- stock 2.2 or virtuous 2.6 themed with revolution- either way since the 2.2 update I cannot connect to WIFI at my school. I can connect everywhere else on N, at school I can view the networks but it will not connect. I talked to the Network Admin. there and he said they have not changed anything in a year so, Its defiantly the phone. It did work at school pre 2.2 update. The Admin. there said they run a gigabit multi stream network. Some peoples laptops mine included do not work there either. he said you must have a multi-stream network adapter. Anyway so my question is since it used to work is there anyway i can get it working again without giving up 2.2 and reverting to 2.1- because there is no way I'm giving up 2.2. thanks for reading my long post and anybody s help would be appreciated.
The Incredible only supports SISO (single in, single out) so, no, you won't be able to connect on the N network.
thanks for helping out. do you know if i could revert back to the wifi protocol for 2.1 it worked then. basically could i disable N
It should be backwards compatible with B and G.
I thought so too, but I was able to connect everyday when I was on 2.1 b/g specific now with N enabled I can view all the networks but not connect. It's crazy. I am barely into my first networking class so I don't know the benefits, if there are any to multi stream all I know I have a $850.00 Samsung laptop and droid Incredible that cannot connect it. By the way I'm a non- traditional student. I'm 31 so i have to buy my own toys+ pay the mortgage.
Hi All,
Im having some problems connecting from my Desire to a wireless access point with a hidden SSID and WPA2-PSK encryption. I can add the network but it always shows as "out of range", even when im sat right next to the router.
I have seen a few threads about this - it apparently works for some but not for others. Is there a way to fix it?
Im using the latest stock T-mobile (UK) software (froyo) and I'm pretty sure this used to work in Eclair.
Thanks
Jeff
I have the same issue and the only thing I could do was enable SSID broadcasting :-(. My wife's 3gs connects in about 5 sec, Desire - ages...

Strange as I have set up my work one the same way and it connects every time I flash a rom no problems. I'm using LeeDroids 2.2d atm.
The router is just a cheapo Netgear.

Try WifiConnector, works for me (Froyo + hidden SSID).
Just tried this without much luck. Just get a black screen when launching the app. Even after killing and restarting it.
No luck with me also (

I have a droid incredible with sky raider sense 3.3.2, my issue with wireless tether has persisted through several different roms and the stock rom.
When I launch wireless tether (with or without security) I am able to connect from my mac or pc and surf the web at very slow speeds. The phone is able load web pages faster in the same location then with wifi tether. On top of the slow speeds I am not able to browse the web for more then 15 minutes without losing internet access via wifi, but still connected to the phone. During that time the phone can still surf the web.
The only temporary way to fix this is to reinstall all binaries and configs then restart the phone. When I use the pdanet trail I have, everything is a dream via usb.
My current radio is 2.15.00.07.28, this issue has also been with me for the past 2 radio updates I have done. I have tried turning wifi on and off with no success, disabling all my apps but wifi and superuser.
I'm having the EXACT same issue and have been searching for the past couple hours to try and fix it. Currently on Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1 w/ stock 2.6.32.17 Kernel. Driving me crazy!! .4kb download & .1kb upload speeds... Have removed the .dun as instructed in EPST's settings and am using latest wireless tether (2.05.-pre13).
Has everyone that has come across this thread been able to use wireless tether with no issues? Should it be as simple as having root, froyo & downloading wireless tether? Or changing EPST settings to take out "dun."... Bueller?
Are you using the stock 3g hotspot app or did you download a rooted app?

Using wifi tether. Stock app not on my phone

Same issue here too. I have 2 inc's, both rooted - one stock, one running Myn's release 3 w/Ziggy kernel. Both have the same problem. Wifi will actually stay up for a while and the connected to my laptop. Then, wifi will actually drop and not be detected by wifi-analyzer while on the serving inc tether willstill show active.
Running Wifi-tether pre13 but this is an issue whether running wifi-tether or 3g hotspot.
Possibly an earlier version of wifi-tether would work? Can someone who is not experiencing this issue post the versions of their wifi related apps?

Having same problem with brothers phone. I'm never around when it drops but this is exactly what he describes too. I just put pre 13 and changed to channel 1 haven't had him complain yet but we will see
Mine however with same setup works fine... totally confused
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I just updated to pre13 and have tried several different channels with no luck. I noticed earlier that when I have been on it for a while it will slowly stop loading sites.
By this I mean that Engadget could continue to refresh while hulu or xda will not load. Eventually Engadget will stop loading.

I my stock dinc back to wifi tether 2.0.5-pre7 this morning and so far so good... will do some more testing tonight and report back later with an edit.
edit: Apparently pre7 release has an issue with channel selection, no matter what you select you end up on 6 (with all of the other default users out there), running pre8 now.
When you tether, does it say 1x at the top?
tether working fine
This is really one of the main reasons I rooted-
stock 2.2
wireless tether 2.0.2
I seem to surf without interuption endlessly.
speed test on average is about.5Mbps up and down
It does it at 3g and 1x

I get the same issue while running both sky-raider and now on virtuous. I believe it prob has to do with the 2.15 radio cuz I never had this issues with 2.05 or stock 2.1 android
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Same here...after surfing a while on the laptop it will quit loading pages.
The only way I can get around it is to disable the "wireless network connection"
then re-enable and it will work for another 10 minutes or so before having
to repeat the same action.
I have never been able to get wifi tether to work. I tried numerous versions of wifi tether, tried changing WEP, WPA, Open, channels, etc. I could connect the computer to the phone, but could never get internet access.
I finally gave up and just use 3g Hotspot, which works perfect.
I never had the 2.05 radio, so I don't know if it was introduced in 2.15
Man am I glad I am not the only one with the issue.

Okay so now we have established that there is a wifi tethering issue. Any dev wanna help us out on solving this or anyone with any ideas?

I have the same issue... any help is greatly appreciated!
I'm currently using stock 2.2 w/Nov update, radio 2.15.00.07.28 & 2.05-pre13 but am having no problem keeping two laptops connected. Rather my issue is one mentioned a few posts up, the speed is sadly lacing compared to what others have posted elsewhere on the site.
Would post screens but have to be more active and post a few more.

I have previously posted on how my WiFi was only working via a ****ty app.
Now I have some more info that makes me beleive that our home wifi router is the cause of that.
I went to my friends house and WiFi worked completely normal there, so it must be the routers fault right?
I have also reflashed the radio, so it probably isn't it's fault.
It all started happening when I updated to the OTA 2.2
Any help on how to fix this?

what about flashing a custom rom?
Well, I'm running CM7 with 2.3 and it's still the same :/
I don't have pc wifi to experiment with. But I will try to tell something.
Wifi on wildfire has the support of b and g networks by default. So no wifi "n" network on wildfire by default. There is a chance of difference in these network types between ur wifi and ur friends wifi, such that it works only with ur friends one.
And I think I saw somewhere in development section that someone made wifi "n" network working on wildfire. But Im not curious about it since I don't use it.

But what's really odd, is that it worked like it should on stock 2.1, so obviously 2.2 ****ed something up...right?
how do i enable wireless n on rooted evo 4g 4.54.651.1 android version 2.3.3
underhardware info i only see 802.11b/g thats why im asking
I remember a long time ago that the evo's wifi chip can't do 5ghz wireless N, it can however do 2.4. Not sure if it needed anything special on the stock rooted rom but on cyanogen i can see mine @ 2.4ghz
From what I have read in the past EVO's used to have N drivers but were later taken away. I know most sense roms have fixes that get N jamming again. Check out tommys classic for one
