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
I have connected to 3 Wi-Fi' with passwords of 8-10-12 characters and have no problem so far. Try making sure wifi is off before connecting??...Tj

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?
Hey guys, so im running the energy ROM on my tp2 and it works great, however I have problems connecting to secure wifi sometimes. WIFI Monster says I am connected, but Im really not. When i try to go to my comm manager and connect I get this message "Pocket PC Networking: Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP Addres. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings."
Any advice? How do I go about finding a suitable IP address? I tried to renew it in the Advanced options from the Comm Manager, but it didn't work.
Noob in need of some help please thanks!
is there anyway I can connect my phone the internet through my computer? that could partially solve my problem. I tried using internet sharing but it says you need to tmobile data or tmobile internet as the Connection source (ie not the computer)

Yeah...when you're connected via USB/Activesync you can use the PC's data connection on your phone, you just have to enable that option in activesync or WMDC, whichever you use. The option is just labeled "allow data connections when connected via USB"
Much thanks Sir Phunkee haha

No prob...it's something commonly not known with new users
On your original problem connecting to a secure wifi network...did it give you the screen where you enter your network password? And is this a network at your home, or..?
Gee, thanks! But the first time it did (its my home network). I set it up to automatically put the WEP Key in and it rarely pops up anymore. When I try to connect at my school it never drops, if it does, I went out of the range of the wifi.
Also, I just enabled the data connection and it worked. Sweetness!
I just reflashed my phone to the New Energy ROM and it connected to the internet first try. Hopefully this is a pattern
EDIT: Im not sure if I would liek to keep it this way because it was really glitchy :\ ugh

Well at least you've proven that it's not a harware issue, and it's possible to get it to work. Before you think about flashing back to stock or another ROM, first go through all related settings and take note of what the NRG ROM set them to, it may just be matter of duplicating them all again when you get a ROM on there you're happy with
thanks for everything! its much appreciated.
Tried this with my home network. I've enabled data connection and used the HEX key to enter code successfully, but I always get error, "Could not locate remote server" when trying to connect to any website. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thanks.
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.

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)
[Q] Wifi problem - "This network has been disconnected. You need to sign in again."
Other times it says "certificate has expired".
Every morning I see this, and I have to manually reconnect to my wifi network.
What is this?
My wireless router only uses WPA2 security, no certificates or anything. This problem only happens on my N7100 Note 2, and not on my Galaxy tab or any other device connected to the same network.
See attached screenshot. Any ideas?
I'm running DN3 V2 custom ROM.

I upgraded to DittoNote3 V3 ROM, and still I see the same problem.
Tried Dr. Ketan's patch, didn't work. Saw the same message again this morning.
Any other ideas?

OK, figured out the problem is with my Internet Provider.
Damn Airtel does it again.
Towards the end of the month when your data limit is close to getting empty, Airtel redirects your devices to a page that tries to sell you additional bandwidth. When this redirect happens, Android disconnects the wifi and says "sign-in required."
As I see it, there's no workaround for this except maybe dump your Airtel Broadband connection or buy unlimited.
Wow...

I wouldn't like that at all. Just for curiosity, what is your data limit with Airtel?
just disconnect from the WiFi network and reconnect again it will work properly !...

Is anyone else having issues connecting to wifi? When I try to connect to wifi at my house, I get a pop-up error saying "AP currently not in use. Internet connection slow." If I click retry, it comes up again. If I click cancel, it says "Failed to obtain IP" and is not connected.
I have tried restarting my model/router with no luck. My Note 3, laptop, and other devices have no problem connecting to this wifi network...
I had a problem with wifi,but sounds different then your issue.Mine would just disable after obtaining ip.Samsung rep at best buy reflashed phone.That saved all data and apps.AND,it fixed wifi.If you can't work thru your issue,go to best buy or att store and get it reflashed.Cant hurt.
Good luck.

OK, so went to the ATT store today and they reflashed my phone. Got home just now and tried to connect to wifi, same issue
Is anyone else having this problem?
Fixed it.
SOLUTION: I changed my router encryption type from WEP to WPA and now it works no problem
Try rebooting your router, I had the same issue the first day I got mine and a reboot fixed it.

Your neighbors are going to be pissed. They can't steal your wireless any more.
Seriously... You did yourself a favor... WEP = ROFL stupidity for wireless networks.

No go for me I just Got my N4 from Verizon last monday and having the same issue u had. I changed my encryption from wep to wap and still same problem. Ima go to a verizon store and see if the "reflash" the phone like some suggest here. Might help my problem
Hi all,
I also experience the same issue from time to time. I have this happen on both my home network (WPA2-Personal) and work (WPA2-Enterprise). My fix is to either reboot the phone or activate Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds and then disable Airplane Mode. After doing that, wifi picks right up for me. YMMV.
I can try to get the exact error log messages from our networking technician at work if it would be helpful to anyone.
Out of curiosity, do any of you have other peripherals connected at the time you experience the issue (Pebble Watch, etc.)?
Same issue
With my GN4, I can connect to my home WIFI no problem and my GF's WIFI no problem but when I go to my Dad's, I CANNOT connect to his WIFI (Netgear WTG624v3) but both of my sisters with a Samsung Tab 3 and Samsung S4 CAN connect to my Dad's WIFI. It's really aggravating. Basically, when I try to connect, it says "connecting" "saved" Then it says "scanning", and says "connecting" "saved" again and again ..... But never connects.
I have tried changing just about every WIFI setting on his router including resetting the router. Tried removing the encryption making an "Open" network and STILL can't connect... and tried every encryption type provided and still nothing. I set the dynamic address range from .4 to .254 (on router) so I could try connecting with a static address to 192.168.1.2 / .3 and still nothing. I tried removing my GN4 browser cache, and setting it to airplane mode(20 secs)... nothing.
I'm at a loss.. given that both of my sisters with two different devices can connect to my Dad's WIFI but I can't with my GN4? But I can connect my GN4 to other WIFI networks, no prob.
UPDATE: Next, I will try downgrading the firmware version on the router to an earlier version. Hopefully, that's the solution. I will report my findings here.
Downgrading or using an older Firmware version for this Netgear WTG624v3 router DID THE TRICK!
If anyone else is having the inability to log into a WIFI router, try installing an older router Firmware version. I got the idea from here:
