I cannot get my Desire to connect to my router via wi-fi. It works fine when the network is set to open - ie no WPA but will not connect with WPA TKIP enabled.
I can connect to 2 other WPA-protected wifi networks OK - both these use a simple text 'password key')
The router is a Vigor 2600G and works fine with other wi-fi devices (eg Xbox)
The TKIP code is a 64 character hexadecimal code - is this a problem for the way WPA is implemented by the Desire/Froyo?
Any help/advice gratefully received!
Works fine on my O2 router on WPA2 so don't see why it wouldn't work...
I had the same issue with a linksys, I ended up just assigning an IP to the desires MAC address which solved the issue, for me anyway.

I don't see why it wouldn't work either! Like I say, it works fine for me on 2 other routers - both on WPA, just not my home one!
It connects almost instantly when I disable the network WPA security. I have tried reserving an IP address for the Desire - which is therefore the IP address allocated by the router to the 'phone when it connects OK when security is disabled. However this doesn't help when WPA is enabled.
I can't help thinking that it is the TKIP key that is the problem - it's as if I have the wrong key although I have checked and rechecked 6 times at least. Are you guys using a 64 character hexadecimal code or a simple text phrase as your passwords? My router (Draytek 2600G) insists on either a 32 character ASCII code or a 64 character hexadecimal one which works fine on my other wireless devices inc my Xbox.
In other words does the Desire work with WPA TKIP or only WPA AES?
Not being able to use wifi at home is really a major pain!
mine works with TKIP... cant tell you how many times I have typed in that long key re: new roms/wipes.
mines some tp-link 108mbps router btw.
try to setup on vigor wpa2 only.
Wlan - settings - security on vigor.
wpa works with tkip but wpa2 works with aes.
Try to change WiFi channel in the router.

Tried using wifi analyser - confirms channel strength is OK. Tried several channels - no good.
Bloody TKIP!!!!!!!
WPA Problem Solved for me!
I change the Registry value "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\DisableWPA"
From "1" to "0"
and now everything is fine.....
Hi, I cant get Wif-Ace to work( it just goes to a black screen when i open it) and when it works I dont know how to set it up so i can use wifi! Can you help?!
Try this version from google code. It works fine on my TP2. As far as settings, I basically turned off everything except WEP password. It depends on how your wireless router is set up. Just match wifi-ace settings to what is on your router.

WEP is EXTREMELY insecure. If you have any option, get rid of WEP. If it's not your router, tell whoever owns the router that it is a very insecure protocol and any script kiddie with a laptop can bust into it in less than 2 minutes.
Don't use WEP!!!!
But i need WEP so i can download apps faster!!!

Uh... what? You really think it's that much faster than WPA? Might as well just run an open network. I seriously doubt that WPA/2 adds that much overhead...
di what i do change my modem to wpa2 more fast and more secure before wep easy hack
wep i have ap rogram with the madem of you modem i now you speedtouch password
how do you change it to WPA2

How did you change it to WEP?
The security settings are in your router. Kinda outside of the scope of not just XDAndroid, but xda-devs in general.
I didnt change it to WEP, it just came that way when i bought internet and i dont think i can change it to WPA2 cause i have 2WIRE

Tell your provider then.
i use is wpa2-psk and work with everything waring when you have to this key you have to reconnect everything to the router (put the password again to every equipment). one time i used wpa2 the first some with the modem and docent work very well

2WIRE gateways support WPA/2.
Thanks emanuelrv, I changed it to WPA2
So I got the dreaded "obtaining IP" loop. I searched and found others have this problem too, but not for the Nitro. Their fixes don't work for me.
I can connect to my friend's router just fine with his password. I also have 2 routers at my house, both have passwords. I can connect to one of them just fine, but the other doesn't work and that's the one I get better signal from! I'm 100% sure I have the right password and I know the router is working fine because everyone else can connect to that router just fine with their phone.
You're trying to connect to 2.4Ghz, not 5Ghz, correct? My Galaxy SII would connect to 5Ghz on my router, but my Nitro only connects to 2.4Ghz.
They are both identical routers in my house. They don't say the Ghz.

Which channel is the wireless set to?
Transmission Rate?
Channel Width?
Security Mode?
WPA Mode?
Cipher Type?
Let me know what these settings are, I'm using the D-Link DIR-825 here and it's working fine.
That's all Chinese to me. Where would I find this information?
All I know is my phone says its secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK
I really appreciate the help though

Log in to the router from 192.168.0.1
Click the setup tab, and then wireless settings on the left. Next click "Manual Wireless Network Setup" and you should see your settings on that page.

The nitro should support WPA2 just fine. Plain ole WPA is now fairly insecure and it is advisable to avoid using it if possible.

You are the man! So it works now. The other router that worked all along is off right now, but I'll check that out tomorrow.
What about my other family's phones for this router, will theirs work just the same as before?
The only thing I can think of that went wrong in the first place was that I didn't type in the right password. Even though I told my phone to forget it, since then I had the problem.

They should work just fine.
One thing I noticed about the Nitro and Wifi is that it's really picky when connecting to a router. The good thing is that the connection is very good once connected.
Wouldn't you know it. I haven't done a thing since yesterday and now it won't connect to the router that we fixed. I guess I'll play around with it some more. I can still connect to that other router just fine.
Edit* - I put everything back to how it was originally when it didn't work and now the phone connects to the wifi, weird. Its back on WPA2 and Ch.5 At least I know how to screw with it now!
Ya, I got this problem too. I get this when I root and then reboot (still rooted), dunno why. After I un-root and reboot, the problem goes away but I had to reboot the router too. In this whole procedure I never change the wifi access point setting, very very weird....
Hi everyone,
I'm using Galaxy W with stock ROM (XXLA2/rooted) and ZyXel (P-660HW-T1 v3) wireless router. I can connect and use wireless home network for a period of time but after a while WiFi drops and then reconnects. This repeats continuously...
I've tried switching WPA2 to WPA also tried using MAC filter only (without WiFi pass), but all of them were useless... Changing from dynamic to static IP also did not worked
I tried a couple of Market apps to fix WiFi issue, but they did not help me either...
Do u have any idea what may cause my WiFi drop problem?
I need your help...
Thanks...
Have you the latest firmaware on your Zyxel?
And is your phone only having problems with this router or all access points? (just to determe the problem eg your phone or your router)
Edit: Try to set the "ReAuthentication" setting higher (9000), i think that solves your problem!
Yes my ZyXel firmware is up to date.
I could not have chance to test my phone with other access points
By the way where can I find the "ReAuthentication Setting" ?

Don't know .... i did read your user manual, but didnt pay attention where this settings is....
You have to try to find it yourself
Ok, i found it and set to 9999 max value
I'm testing it, i hope i do not get any more drop
Thanks for your interest...
Well you can get a drop, but its only every 2.7 hour, if thats not ok, you could try to set it to 0 maybe then re authentication is fully off.
Setting the value to 0 sounds good Then it will become something like WEP i think...
Anyway I'll try also this...
Thanks...
please don't use wep keys as they are awful weak
stay with wpa or wpa2
Actually I do not wanna use WEP but since it is static maybe it will help me get a more stable wireless connection. And when i tried WEP for the first time, I noticed signal quality got a abit stronger Is it logical or strange?
I know WPA/WPA2 is more safe but I wonder if using WEP with MAC filter is equivalent to WPA in terms of security issue?

It isn't. Have a read about the differences:
WEP used a 40-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP employs a per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new 128-bit key for each packet and thus prevents the types of attacks that compromised WEP.[3]

(From the Wikipedia Wi-Fi_Protected_Access page - I can't paste the link as I'm a new forum user)
I see...
I'd better keep using WPA/WPA2.
Thanks for the explanation...

MAC filter security is the best, and even much better than WPA or WPA2!
The advantage is that MAC id's are like a footprint for a network card, like a DNA.
The disadvantage is that every device you want to add you have to do it manually.
Good luck!
my phone does drop wifi sometimes too.

Sorry dude, but i can't let you say such a thing.
MAC filter can improve security with encryption but cannot replace WPA/WPA2.
I can crack your mac filtering with WEP security within 10 minutes or less. Just sniffing promiscious packets from your router and identifying your network device MAC address.
Many tools exist to easy change any MAC address from network devices. So no, mac address is not a DNA, because it can be changed easily.
So, the best is still WPA2 Entreprise (but it needs Radius Server) or WPA2 personnal with AES encryption. And MAC filtering is good idea, but not alone !.
Thanx mate.....I was just gonna post a link about MAC spoofing and how insecure MAC filtering is.
Here it is anyway:

I do not understand, although I tried wifi connection with WEP without MAC filtering and also WPA (with "0" & "9999" reauthentication setting) I still get drops
Any other idea/suggestion?
(as a reminder: I'm using Galaxy W with stock ROM (XXLA2/rooted) and ZyXel (P-660HW-T1 v3) wireless router)
I'm still having wi-fi drop issue with also custom ROMs...
Is it possible to replace/update modem driver?
Do you have any other idea?

Hi friends,
I'm still having wifi drop issues... Wifi keeps connecting for a couple of minutes and then drop and reconnect again... in a cylce...
I tried lots of things but could not completely solve issue...
Any other idea?
I havent been able to get any wifi connection on my Desire HD . I have flashed 4-5 roms in the last week or so. And I noticed this in my last but third rom. So i flashed 2 different roms after that. But my Wifi home network isnt being detected. I am using it on my laptop right now, so the network is ON. But DHD doesnt show it.
Any solutions?
Change your mix of kernels and radios. If not working, flash RUU. If it's still not working, then it is a hardware issue.
Problem Solved.
Changed my wifi router wireless encryption setting from AES CCMP to TKIP protocol. And
Voila
There is was . Wifi working.

Never thought of router problems. Yeah, router's security protocols, bands and frequency can also affect the wifi connection. Glad your problem solved.
