my ARC info : Model LT15i
Android version :2.3.4
Build number : 4.0.1.A.0.283
I think you need reconfigure your wireless router. you can search this case in Internet.
perhaps you can check the DHCP least time?
the lease that 'never expires' might be the problem:

is your router running in mixed mode? my router was running in bgn mixed mode and none of my android devices connect. when I switched the router to 802.11g only or 802.11n only, all of the android devices connect again.
No my router is only running as g mode because i bought it long time ago about nearly 5-6 years ago so it does not have n mode, my problem is that my arc does not totally incompartible with my router ,sometime it suddently work then i can browse the web and surf the internet with my arc then i try to reconnect it in order to check if it is fixed then it is disconnect again. I feel really upset with my phone ,sorry about my english
Not sure where shall I post my question. Can't find an answer but decided not to create a new post when a wi-fi problem one already exists.
I am trying to connect to WI-Fi in my office but it's WEP encrypted with password.
I got the password to connect to it and everything is working fine apart from internet use. I am connected to wi-fi but with local access only. Can't update email, browse the web or anything like it.
Is it because the Xperia Arc S does not support WEP encryption? Or because I'm doing something wrong?

I do know that Android in general doesn't like WEP.
So in this case the only way to resolve the issue is to ask my company IT guy to change encryption, isnt it?
Are there any applications which could help with the problem or is it some kind of other issue and nothing can be done?

I am using WEP here at home, with no problems at all. I use my Xperia Arc and have an HTC HD Mini running Android from the SD card, both connect via WEP flawlessly.
If you can only view 'local' pages only, it could be that your company use a Proxy Server to filter the webpages you can access while at work. It could also be that the settings for the DNS server are incorrect.
Depending how easily your IT department can be bribed... It may be worth stocking up on beers?
it is not web or wpa the problem is the phone,but sometime i dont know why my phone suddenly work with my PLANET modem, because i used to leave the ARC with wifi on all day at my home sometime it can connect to the internet just like normal.like zombie turn back to life .i found that when i hear the notification ring tone when i receive new gmail at my phone ,so when i hear that tone i know that my phone work with my wifi.when i try to disconnect and reconnect at that time,i cant access to the internet anymore
I have the same issue with my Arc and Neo, and now Tablet S. Seems to be an intrinsic problem of Android. For Arc and Neo, they both worked fine with firmware 2.3.2, and refused to work after upgrade to 2.3.3. Now a further upgrade to 2.3.4 does not help.
Any inspiration? I searched the max possible I could for a solution with the Almighty Google God and tried days after nights to set/reset router/phone/Tablet, and play with settings. No hope. Strange thing to notice:
1/ Can connect for a while, and then drop for no reason. AND, will reconnect after an unknown time ticks;
2/ Cannot have all three SE/S things wifi connecting together to the same router (Mine: Buffalo). Only one at a time. Yet my other NBs/IPad/IPod are still working flawlessly.
3/ All three can connect to certain make of routers: e.g., free wifi in airport/cafe.
So what exactly is happening?
hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
Hi All,
I am trying to share my laptops internet connection with my Defy via a virtual miniport adapter(using a program called connectify)...my phone gets connected perfectly and I am able to surf the net on my phone..but only for a short time. After a while if I just let the phone be on standby for a while, it loses the internet connectivity. It remains connected to the hotspot(on my pc) but somehow there is no internet on the phone anymore. However if I turn off the wifi on my Defy and put it back again, the internet is back. I have tried almost everything but nothing seems to work. Initially i thought the problem might be with the connectify software on my system so tried using other softwares such as virtual router intel mywifi technology etc. I even tried to create a virtual wifi miniport manually from the command line but same problem everytime. I tried to change the wifi sleeo policy in my phone to never and that did not help too. I am running stock Froyo on my Defy. Sometimes when I turn off wifi and turn it back on it wont even connect to the access point, keeps showing scanning...connecting...scanning...connecting...then finally disconnected. I just cant understand what is wrong. If someone can throw some light on this...it would be really helpful, its almost 20 days since I am breaking my head over this.
Thanks
this might help
Install connectify and select wifi security mode as Ad-Hoc,WEP,this worked for me the defy sometimes seems to have a problem with WPA2.
Hello. I search the forum and the net and I didn't find an answer. I Have an Arc S, and the phone doesn´t seem to find my wi-fi. The strangest is that the phone recognizes other networks, and it was already connected at my network.
Already disabled all the WPA/WEP securitys, changed the name of the wi-fi network, Pulled the baterry out of the phone etc. My Computer is working fine over the wi-fi.
Strangest part is that my wife's phone (arc S) is doing exactly the same as mine. It all started with a electricity fail. It happened before once, but with a router reset was OK, but not this time.
Really messed up.. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Have you tried manually connect to your network?
Your wifes arc s works, probably the promblem is 99% on your phone. Try a repair on pc companion
From my sexy LT15i
Already tried a manual connection, but the network does not appear. My wifes phone is not finding the network as well....
Sorry for misreading
Some troubleshoots:
*Check your firewall on your router. Try to disable
*Change SSID/key -keytypes
*Check if your SSID us hidden, if so make it visible
*Frimware upgrade/reinstall on router
*Try other signal channels like 11, 6
Set auto if possible
Theres a app on store to find the best one
*Try other radio type, like b, g, n
Set auto if possible
*Tried to set up a static ip on you arc?
Settings > wireless and network > wireless settings > push menu button ang press advanced > check the static ip option and configure it
*Try a app to connect like wifi manager and wifi connect etc.
*Check device (arc s) settings/permissions on router
*Are the phone using the latest frimware?
**The last solution. Contact internet provider about giving you a new router (if they gave this one)
***Ultimate solution. Throw that piece if sheit out and get a new one.
From my sexy LT15i
probably your your wifi is ad-hoc mode
android stock roms can not recognize ad-hoc wifi mode . just access point mode .
if it is your problem you have 2 solutions :
change your wifi mode to access point mode
use customs roms like miui or cm
Hello All. I already tried all the above, excluding somethings that was impossible in my router (software update).
After changing every single parameter im my router, the one that worked was changing the ssid channel from auto to manual. The first channel I tryed the phone immidiatly recgonized my Wi-fi, and now I changed Again to auto and its working fine....
Dont have a clue why!!
Thanks for all!!
Is there any other router signals where you live witch your phone finds ?
Thats why, radio jamming together
From my sexy LT15i
Yes, there are some other networks with same brand of routers (same ISP provider), but with different names.
The strangest part was that it worked before, than with no changes other than the power shortage both phones stop finding the network... But now is fine
Thanks!!

Hello,
I want to ask something about my new Z1 Compact.
Pretty impressive out of the box, but then i found some problems...
Notice : i've upgrade to 4.4.2 with wi-fi right after i bought it.
the problem is :
1. i can't connect properly to google play
2. i can't connect to social media apps (path, twitter, facebook, etc) via mobile network (wi fi is ok)
3. i can't connect to internet with google chrome (pretty sad that's the only way to surf the web since no android browser)
what bothering me is, if i'm using it as USB Tether with my laptop, everything's goes find, i can surf with ease.
Is it the phone ?
If it is, what's causing it ? (hardware or software)
oh yeah, i've tried to repair it via PC Companion software from my office's PC.
Please share with me if anyone have the same problem
Thank you

Hi There,
I've found the solution for my problem, at last !
Maybe you can do it too on your device.
The problem is with the APN, my provider instructed to use just the APN name and let all the rest blank.
And the default setting on the device, everything filled up (proxy, dns, username, etc).
I just enter the right apn and let anything else blank, Voila, the connection speeds up again.
I hope you find your solution soon, mate.
Cheers
