[Q] Can't connect to router via Wi-fi anymore - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is really strange. I have 4 android phones 2 G2s, 1 Evo, 1 increadible.
I have Verizon FIOS and the router that comes with it. I also have a Netgear access point.
All my phones can connect to the access point with no problems.
1 of my G2s will not connect to the Verizon FIOS modem/router.
I used to be able to connect to it with no problem, but for the last week, I have not been able to. I am able to see the router, and select it for connection, but it seems like it is hanging at obtaining an IP. Then says "not in range" (standing next to it), then says "disabled"
This is what I am sure is NOT the issue:
1. I tried giving it a static IP, this did not resolve my issue.
2. I am using WEP, but all my phones including my other G2 can still connect.
I need help.....

On the back of the Verizon FIOS modem/router is a reset button. Press and hold for 5 seconds, those modems are crap. If that doesn't work I would contact Verizon and exchange it.

tried it.....no change

Are you able to make it work with other wireless access points? Try to see if you can tether to one of your other phones.

yes and yes

If you have MAC filtering on your wireless router, double check to make sure the MAC is correctly configured for your phone. Also double check the WEP key on your phone to make sure that is also configured correctly.

XDA IIs Wifi and lockups

Does anyone have a problem with their wifi locking up their xda iis? I have bought a linksys router and am getting frequent lockups when using wifi. I am using the shipped O2 rom, thanks
I have no problem at all with Netgear router. Try changing the connection speed setting in the router to the "b" mode only. Hopefully this can solve your problem.
No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.
Sorry! :-(
Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.
--Neil
I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)

I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!
I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.
I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!
I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.
Weird.....
Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.
The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.
It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.
If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.
Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.
I am going to do a hard reset and test to see if i still get any freezes. Anyone know of any software i can use to backup my text messages?

Hi guys,
Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).
I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.
The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.
Just me 2c!
Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.
I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.

As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!
Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.
Nigel
Well i tried a hard reset and didnt install any apps and tried connecting to wifi again and still got a lockup and loss of connectivity. Im going to swap the router for another make and see what happens
Swapped my linksys router for a D-Link and so far no problems after 2 days. so looks like my problem was my router.

XDA IIi and wifi
I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help

Hi
For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's [email protected] and [email protected] along with GPRS and VPN.
To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.
Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.
I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.
Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).
I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.
Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me
Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..
i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..
btw I am new here.. finally able to register!
How's everybody doing?
Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x
Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???
I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!
The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'
Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link
Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??

Cisco access point

I have a cisco WAPN610 access point. I have my desktop, google tv, xbox360 and my wdhdtvlive hooked up to it via wireless. I can't get my phone to obtain an ip address from this. I can connect to the router that is connected to my access point, but can't figure out why my phone won't connect. Google told me to try and use only B/G networks, but that didn't work.
Anyone have this same issue, or know of something I can try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Under wireless networks on your phone does it see the access point? Just won't pick up an IP address??
Are you able to connect your phone to any other wireless networks?? Public Wifi at starbucks or McDonalds or something??
Could either be a bad WPA authentication or faulty wireless radio in your phone if other devices work.
Have you tried forgetting the network under wireless and networks then rebooting the phone just to be sure it's gone then re connect?

thanks for replying. I can access wifi at work and I can at my friends house. Whenever there is an open connection, it works like a charm, but for whatever reason, when I try to connect at home, it connects, but won't obtain an IP address. I think I can set it up manually and use a static IP. I was doing some googling at work and found something. Very confusing to say the least.
And yes, I have tried to forget it and all that.
thanks again for trying!
how many dhcp leases do you have setup? Depending on how many devices connect, i typically don't setup anymore than 10, but i would try increasing that. What encryption are you using? wpa2/wpa? Is it broadcasting in n or g or is it setup for mixed.

I'm not sure how many dhcp leases I have set up, but I only have 3 things connecting to the access point. My google TV, Wii, and my desktop. I had it set to broadcast mixed (b,g and N) but changed that to just b/g as another suggested. I am also using wpa2.

WiFi Keeps Dropping/Disconnecting Through Second Router

First of all, I have internet from Time Warner Cable and it came with a router/modem all in one. Now that was initially set up and that works 100% perfectly with my SGS2. Since I have a weak WiFi signal upstairs in a couple of rooms, I decided to hook up an extra router that is set up as an access point. The second router is connected via a cat5e lan to lan to my main router (home is wired with cat5e connections).
Now on the second router, I have disabled DHCP since the main router is responsible for that. On the second router, I set up a different SSID first to test it out. All wired and wireless connections worked great through my laptop/Xbox 360, PS3. My SGS2 connected fine as well and worked.
Now the issue is that the SGS2 "drops" the WiFi after some time. Sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, etc. Even with the SGS2 right next to the router it happens. Meanwhile, my laptop stays connected the whole time.
I can't seem to figure out what the issue is now. I've reset the second router a couple times and set it up all over fresh but it doesn't fix the problem. Seems to be a problem with my brother's Sensation as well. Is there something with Android and access points or going through a second router that causes issues? Any other settings I'm overlooking? SGS2 connected to the main router stays connected until I turn WiFi off. But to the access point, it drops out after some time.
FYI: Second router (access point) is running DD-WRT firmware.
If you need any other info, just ask. I'll be home from work in a couple hours. I've been messing with this for the last 2 weeks but nothing seems to work. Please help! Thanks.
Hmm thats very odd. Im running a similar setup as you, except my main and 2nd router connect via 5ghtz N.
Have you tried statically your phone with an IP address then modifying your main router (that gives DHCP) to reflect that IP is permanently assigned?
edit: to hard set your phone...settings-->wireless and network-->wifi settings, then menu key and advanced. Just fill in the IP and gateway info, and obviously use something in your DHCP subnet. You'll have to look at your DHCP subnet, but you'll probably use 255.255.255.224 as your mask, and use your gateway (your main router IP) as your DNS.

Try giving your phone a static IP from your main router. Also make sure that you adjust your phones wifi settings under advanced settings so that your phone stays connected to wifi during sleep. Hope that helps.

Well my phone is getting the same IP address each time, whether I connect to the main router's SSID or the second router's SSID. But I will try this static IP. One problem is that I don't know how to find out my DHCP range. There's nothing in the main router's settings about the range. The second router has an option to set the IP address range for DHCP but the main router doesn't. See attached image.
I'll try to set the static IP around what the IP addresses of other devices on the network are since I don't know the exact range. Let me know if I'm doing this wrong. Not sure what you meant by 255.255.255.224 there.
The static IP didn't make a difference. Still keeps disconnecting/dropping after some time. Meanwhile, the connection with the main router stays connected. Don't know what else I can do. Seems that my HP Touchpad running CM9 stays connected to the second router without dropping. Don't know what's different about that from my phone.

Does anybody have some instructions on how to set up the second router as an access point? I'm pretty sure I set it up correctly but apparently there seem to be some issues. People who have a similar setup that can help would be great.
Main router from cable company with built in modem where internet connectivity comes from is downstairs. Connect cat5e from LAN of main router to LAN of second router upstairs. Second router set up as access point for better WiFi coverage upstairs.
2 options for second router: DD-WRT D-Link DIR-615 or D-Link DIR-625.
"Could" buy some other recommended router for this and try that if needed, but would definitely prefer to use what I have and get this to work.
This might be completely off but I had a similar issue with my SII when connecting to 802.1x networks at my University. I downloaded this app called wifi fixer and it resolved the wifi connection drop for about 90% of the time. Give it a shot, it might do wonders for ya.

First you need to find out if your router is supported. According to the DD-WRT database, the 615 is, the 625 is not. But there are several revisions of that router, so you need to find out what revision you have. It should be on your label.
Router database
Then you need to decide whether you want a repeater, an access point, or client bridged. You can read the differences in the DD-WRT wiki found HERE
Then you need to find the best build to flash to your router. I suggest reading the overview of the 615 found HERE. Read the ENTIRE thread. If you flash the wrong version to your router, you WILL brick it.
Then flash the appropriate firmware, set it up, and youre done. Youre going to have to do some reading.
edit: I would also suggest downloading wifi analyzer on your phone and do a site survey of available channels in your house. Most likely you WILL have interference from neighbors. Youre going to want to hard set your channel to the least congested channel, either 1, 6, or 11. Once you get DD-WRT set up on your 615 you can do a site survey within the router as well.
change the channel on your router to 6 not 11 i had that issue with our second router and actually my nook color. Depending on the router it should be under wireless settings.

The only reason to use one over the other is congestion. Thats it. And you want to use 1, 6, or 11 because the DIR615 has N capability, and you need a wifi primary channel to use N. Theres only 3 primary channels...1, 6, and 11.
edit: Heres a technical overview of N: CLICK ME!

I have actually done all that. The DIR-615 is an E1 version and I flashed the correct DD-WRT firmware on it. I followed a tutorial from the DD-WRT website to set it up as an access point as well. My laptop works perfectly with it. Just my phone keeps dropping the connection from it. My main router is on channel 11 and the second router is on channel 6. I also tried channel 1 but it didn't help.
I might just to try set it up as a second router on a different subnet than the first router and see if that helps. Going to try to follow this Youtube video and see how it goes.

Hhmm ok. Well your main router shouldn't have anything to do with it. When it drops does it re-aquire an IP and reconnect? Honestly if a reboot of the router doesn't fix it and your laptop doesn't have the same issue, its pointing to the phone.
Maybe a factory reset?

It reconnects when I unlock the phone. Sometimes I have to reset the Wifi on the phone. Have set the Wifi connection to never sleep. My brother's Sensation was doing this as well. I'll have to test it out on his phone and see. I'll probably reset my phone later today and see if that works.

WiFi stuck on Obtaining IP/Avoided Poor Connection

For some reason, my Wifi connectivity on my GNexus has gotten really bad lately. I'm trying to connect to my home router (Netgear WNDR3400), and it gets stuck on a loop at obtaining IP address then avoided poor connection and it keeps reseting back and forth. It only manages to connect maybe 20 mins in the day and it looses the connection again.
Reseting the router only fixes the problem momentarily then the next day it can't connect again. The router is working perfectly fine in my house w/ the computer and laptops. iPhone and HTC Thunderbolt are also perfectly fine.
What can I do to fix this?

Have you tried assigning a static ip address to the phone?
Also what type of network? My phone does it on a 802.1 wireless b network with identity security (individual uname and password to connect) Which is what my university uses... annoying it was, but i found out that foxfi was causeing the issue. But im assuming your home network isnt like that.
How do I assign a static IP to the phone?
My router is 802.11n. And it has network security, secured by WPA/WPA2 to be exact.
App called WiFi static will let you set a static IP within a dhcp network. You probably can do it through your router as well. I would read up on static vs dhcp if you have never set up a static IP before. Also you'll want to see what all of the clients ips are so you don't create a duplicate.

Anyone having this issue on the Verizon stock ROM 4.2.2? I cannot connect to any wifi with DHCP. The only way I can connect is if I enter at static IP. I have tried about a half dozen access points with no luck. I have even done a complete phone wipe of data and tried reconnecting without logging into my google account to sync down my wifi settings. This pretty much prevents me from connecting to any public wifi hotspots unless I can guess their IP range. I have never had anything other than the stock ROM and OTA updates. Is there something somewhere I can clear or reset to fix this? It worked at one time long ago prior to jellybean I think.

[Q] Verizon Lg G3 Won't connect to wifi no matter what.

So basically I can't connect to wifi and I have tried EVERYTHING from static routes to different networks and routers, different roms, complete factory rom/firmware resets. I just can't connect to wifi, nothing else is wrong, and I think it may have to do with the fact that in my "Advanced WiFi" setting its shows my phone Ip address as unavailable.
Any help, please?!
Is there a way to manually assign a phone Ip address, in the terminal or in some coding somewhere? Because I feel like that's the problem... And no I don't just mean using static connections, that doesnt work

Possible solution.
On your pc go to cmd and go to ipconfig /flush dns. I don't remember precise command but something like this. It'll reset all your addresses assigned to your other devices. On your phone do forget network. Then try to reconnect. Your ip will be assigned automatically.
If it doesn't work check in your router what wireless protocol you have. You know b,c,g,ac,n. Try to set to n only.
Another thing there's possibility your router is set to accept connections only from known devices in which case you'll have to add the phone automatically.
No one has ANY ideas. In this whole forum?
I have an idea...There is an update to Lollipop just released that fixes the wifi problem. At least for Verizon...release last few days.

hmmm, if it's the update that comes from the vzw installer when you plug in the phone, then i already tried and no such luck :/
My phone just needs a damn ip adress!
Could it have to do with certificates?

Did you find the solution? I have the same issue, although sometimes I can connect to the wifi network but it only works for a while
