My Tilt 2 has been connecting to my Linksys router with no issues until yesterday. This was even after I flashed a new ROM. It has been painless until I lost my internet connection with AT&T and had to reboot my modem and my router. Since then I have been unable to connect at all. I have other wireless PC's that are connecting to my router with no problems. I have spent a lot of time going over and over the internet wi-fi settings. The phone is picking up the router, but never connects. I do not have any security running so this should not be it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm using WiFi at home, hosted by a Linksys WRT54GL router running OpenWrt and secured with WPA2/WPA-PSK. Once in a while, the WiFi connection to my Rhodium gets disconnect (phone issue, wifi on my notebook is stable). After this disconnect, I go to the notification list, and theres a notification telling my that theres a new network found, but to connect to the network, I need to enter the WPA password everytime. Only way avoiding to reenter the password is rebooting the device; then it automaticly connects to my network again.
Anyone having similar problems or even know a fix?
Thanks in advance,
Christoph

I got the same problem, and i got the same router as you with WPA2... It's really anoying. Is it a settings issue on the phone or what?
Wifi Issues with Smartphones / PDA WEP and WPA
I've been a windows mobile / smartphone user for about 4 years now. I started off with a xw6700 from verizon, then a Tilt from ATT, and now testing a Touch Pro 2 from t-mobile not sure if I'm keeping it. With each device I've had the same issues. I will explain below what I've found and what I've done to make it as painless as possible with WIFI and my PDA devices.
I currently run 2 WIFI networks due to this issue. I use roadrunner so I was able to about 10 years ago get a multiple IP package, which they no longer offer. I have 4 IP addresses 3 of which I use for my computers/1 wifi network and another I use for a wifi network just for PDAs/phones.
If i use a PDA with WIFI enabled on the network my computers are on using WEP after a few times of connecting/disconnecting PDAs and trying to reconnect I get a problem where the device wont take my WEP key over and over again. I have to reboot the WIFI router, and then the device will connect successfully. This is very annoying since any device I try to add to the wireless will not connect as well. This problem is due to the PDA, now I've tried mulitple routers DLINK, NETGEAR, LINKSYS, AIRLINK, they all do the same.
Now with my 2nd network I use WPA. WPA seems to be more friendly when it comes to disconnecting and reconnecting PDAs. I can use my PDA's on this network connecting and reconnecting for a few weeks before the WIFI router requires a reboot because it will no longer take the WPA password. Again I am not sure why this happens, and I am not sure why it affects WM5, WM6, WM6.1. Not sure if its the hardware of the device or the software, but it seems to happen no matter what WM device I have.
My iphone will disconnect and reconnect to either of my networks without any problem. Unless the PDA screws up the wifi on either network, then the iphone will never authenticate and connect to the network. Seems these WM devices no matter what hardware are really good at screwing up WIFI networks.
Now my findings are every time you put the phone to sleep/off the wifi turns off, it could possibly be the cause for the above, this pisses me off. There was one forum a while back I found someone saying WPA is more stable. I know the iphone does the same (turns off wifi when in standby/sleep), but doesn't affect the router the same as WM devices. If anyone would like to say otherwise then they are wrong/lying to you. I guarantee if they turn off and on their WM device to say check an IM or a TXT and turn it back on a few times they will experience the same problems above, which it seems everyone experiences but no one has answers.
I wish there would be a professional from HTC or HP or anyother PDA maker who will just come out and say they screwed up and didn't want to fix it.
I have an HTC EVO 4G running FreshEvo 4.1.1.0
The WiFi was working fine without a hitch until recently. It seems that since I upgraded to FreshEvo 4.1.1.0 and updated the radios with the patch, that this is when the problem started.
Now, the WiFi connection "locks up" intermittently and I have to reboot my TrendNet TEW-633GR router so that the phone will connect to it again at least for awhile.
The symptoms are: The WiFi connection with my home router will be fine for awhile. Then, it will not work.
I still get an IP address from the router and the WiFi settings says it's connected. But the connection doesn't work until I reboot the router. But the router isn't really the problem because other phones and my laptop can connect to the router even if the HTC cannot.
To the best as I can tell, the WiFi connection on the HTC locks up when:
A) I run the Roku Remote Control app and something unexpected happens like the app does a force close. The Roku Remote app uses Telnet, I believe.
B) I'm connected by WiFi at home, then leave and the phone switches to 3G. When I come back home, the WiFi between my phone and my router is locked up. However, if I connect to WiFi at another location, it works fine at the other location. Also, I can still connect to my home router with WiFi from my laptop or another phone.
Does anyone have this problem too, or a solution?
Thanks

I would have a go at flashing an alternative radio ROM onto the EVO first. This should be pretty simple if you've already changed ROMs and have a custom recovery.
Hello. I have xperia neo for 1 week. It is great phone and great upgrade from my X8 but i see a strange wifi problem. My firmware is latest version - 4.0.A.2.368.
At my home phone connects fine to my wireless network and everything is stable. I do not see any disconnects, reboots or other problems. My router is linksys wrt320N and i connect at wireless N speed - 72Mbps.
When i try to connect to the wireless N network at my office the phone connects fine but i do not have internet access. I have IP assigned by the router, network is shown as connected but i do not have connectivity. I tried with 3 different browsers and with the market and nothing connects. At the same time i can connect with my laptop to the same network and i have internet. My colleagues with other phones also connect and have internet.
I tried setting static IP address on the phone but this did not help. I read that if i set static IP in router's settings assigned to the mac address of the phone this will help. Unfortunately i can not test this because i do not have access to router's settings. Also at my home i did not make such settings and everything is working fine.
Previously i have seen this problem with my X8 and the same work wifi network but it was not always present. It was present with some custom firmwares and not with others.
If you have any ideas or have seen this problem please help.
Having the same device from Globul I never had such problems for the 2 weeks I'm using it. I had some disconnects but i put the blame on my router.
if you can try changing the wifi channels
I think I've found the issue (by facing by myself)
The version neo is shippe (2.3.2) has a serious bug on AES encription.
Actually only the upgrade to 2.3.3 (no clue about upcoming 2.3.4) can fix the WPA/AES issue.
So the actual solutions are:
or change your wifi securty to WEP, updathe the phone via OTA
or use the Windows Software and update to 2.3.3.
Please note that if you use the Control Power widget it has been removed in 2.3.3
This was my problem when I had just bought my Arc.My phone couldn't surf the internet with my personal wifi network although I tried to use many browsers and also Android market. Then I reset and reinstalled my router, everything works well ^^
Ask your office IT staff to do a simple power cycle on the router and try connecting again. That may solve the problem.
I have been using Note 2 N7100 running 4.1.1 for a week now but only a couple of days ago started experiencing WiFi connectivity issue at home. The problem I have is it would lose Internet connection and then disconnects from my wifi router. When I opened the wifi menu it says my router is not in range. Turned off wifi and then on again and it connected just fine. However, after a while I lose Internet connection again and then router connection as well. In addition, my PC and other mobile devices started having connection issues. So, I restart my router and everything seems to work normal again until I turn on wifi on my Note 2. The problem reoccured again until I decided to turn off wifi on my Note 2 and so far my wifi connection is stable. I did try to use static IP and for a moment it seemed to work fine yesterday but today it messed up again right after I got home and turned on wifi on my Note 2. I also reset my router to factory setting yesterday and I don't want to reset every day.
I remembered that I did a software update at work on my Note 2 two days ago but it's an update from Samsung. I forgot what the update was for. Is there any chance to undo this update just in case it caused the wifi problem but without having to root the phone?
try to add the ip and mac address of your note 2 into the router.
Hey there guys! I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus running the latest OS. I have cancelled my home internet forever ago as the speeds I get from Verizon's 4G are plenty for what I use the internet for. I would plug my phone into my computer tower (no WiFi card) and bam, I would have internet.
However, I recently acquired a roommate who has a laptop and is connecting to my phone via WiFi. This works extremely well, as does everything else that connects to my phone via WiFi.
Here is where my conundrum is coming into play. The WiFi and USB network are different. We were trying to play Minecraft on LAN mode and realized that we weren't on the same network.
I began my googling and came across bridges, and using a cracked firmware for my router (ddwrt) to become a wireless repeater of sorts.
This is all a bit above my head however. I plug my router into my Ethernet port, and the cat5 on the router is plugged in where the modem cat5 should be. Internet still doesn't work from the router. My Router is a WNR2000v3
Tried Hamachi, that didn't work. Help fellow Android users!
