My phone's wifi capabilities have been working fine until about 2 months ago when it stopped connecting to some of the wifi networks such as my campus wifi.
I have 2 routers at home. One being the Linksys E3000 that's broadcasting two SSID's. The Epic Touch sees them on the list but can't connect to neither of them. It can however connect to my Dlink router and all of the older ones I have at home.
While connected to the Dlink, it can't communicate with other devices on the same network via apps such as remote or Airsync. When tried pinging the phone's ip on a computer, it returned with timeouts. Samsung Kies has stopped working as well.
Does anyone have a solution to my problems? Is there a setting on the phone that I am overlooking?
Bump.

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?
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 a N7100 and I am also having wifi connectivity issues
I read the old wifi connectivity thread but my issue doesn't seem to be the same.
.I have a broadband wifi router which I also use an iPad, win Xp laptop, HTC Wildfire S and Motorola defy through, all of which have been fine (using WEP encryption)
)Unfortunately the note II seems to connect but then doesn't access the Internet.
The phone's wifi page shows connection. It connects then receives and IP address but then the alert comes up that there is no Internet access. I also use fing which says that there is no wifi network.
I''ve downloaded the apps wifi manager and wifi analyser to try and get to the bottom of it but they both say I have good signal strength and are connected.
Wifi analyser showed there was a bit of crossover from another AP router next door so I changed the channel to give clear air between us. I then reconnected all the devices and they all work -apart from my new Note.
My question so are 1)is there any more i can do to fix it. 2)where should I look to find the logs which might let me diagnose it a bit better . I should add that sometimes it just works and can browse and download as normal, but most of the time it doesn't.
I started to have trouble connecting to wifis few days ago, it says that signal is very strong i even see full bars and it stops on "containing IP adress" and then shows up window that signal is poor and doesnt connect, but wifi is working my friend next to me was connected, its in a bar and like 2 weeks ago i was able to connect to that very same wifi, very disappointing, no clue what could be wrong
Almost new FL24, rooted. Everything has been fine but during the middle of downloading an app over wifi, I had a battery failure and the phone shut down. Once restarted, the phone will connect to the wifi network but it is not able to download or connect to the internet. It works fine over the mobile network but as soon as it's connected to wifi, all data transmission stops. Any ideas?

This was just happening to me, now in my case is was my wireless router turning on and off by itself, so had to get a new one, so you may want to check that.

The network is fine. Multiple devices both wired and wireless. Everything's working pefectly except the phone.
Try it on someone else's WiFi network. Use a secured network wpa.
I encountered a similar issue with my wifi router, 2 roku's, ps3 , 2 laptops, tv and 1 other epic touch running gb. Everything on my network was aok, my epic on jb was not connecting but was visiting my friend and I logged onto his network, boom instant connection. I was also able to log into local pub using a pw.
Well, I replaced my 4yr old router with a Netgear N600 dual band, no more connection issues.

The phone connects to the network. Connecting to the network is not the problem. I can see the phone on the network when it connects. I can see the ip adress the router hands out to the phone once it's connected. When I turn off wifi on the phone I can watch it drop off the network and then watch it come back on and recieve an ip address when I turn wifi back on. It is not the network or any other network device. Thanks for the suggestions as they are appreciated but the problem is with my phone. Any other ideas?
Gee it sounds like your modem or radio got borked, try a reboot or d/l and reinstall your modem or diff modem.
