My dad got a new router, with the same ssid, but another password.
When I try to connect my Arc or my brothers Arc S to it, it comes in this sort of 'connect loop' Connecting > Disconnected > Scanning > Connecting.. etc
So when I try and forget network > reconnect, it does the same thing?
And strangest i that my dad's windows mobile device jus connects and also all the computers in the house.
Is there maybe a way to REALLY forget the network?
Delete the network from phone. Find it, write key, connect

Also resetted the router, also no luck..

my phone has difficulties with connecting to my schools network (eduroam). Its a 802.1x ttls pap network.
The phone connects, and at first the internet works. After a minute or so, the phone says it is connected, but i cant use internet. (apps/browser)
Even weirder: the phone reboots after disconnecting and reconnecting
Someone please help, its getting so annoying!
Check your baseband, I guess it ends with XXKS2.
Note the 2, not 5

Hi,
I swear I did a search but Wifi seems a big issue with the Arc and I couldn't pinpoint my exact problem:
Everytime I reboot my router, the Arc loses its previous working wifi connection. The wifi networklist will state that the "network is not in range" (while I am basically sitting on top of my router), also forgetting the network and setting it up manually does not solve the problem. The only way I have found to address this is to change the Wifi SSID in the router - which is not a long term option.
Unfortunately I cannot give you details on the ROM (its my wife's phone and she is threatening me remotely if I cannot fix this. Like NOW) - but I know that I rooted it and put a UK stock ROM (instead of the Singaporean) about 5 months ago.
Please help, anybody - and again, I apologise if that has been addresse, I could not find the appropriate threads.
cheers
Why do you restart your router?
(i do rarely, only if the dsl/internet is gone)
Try to change ssid and sec.key of your router.
What kind of sec.key type do you use. Fexampe i use WPA-(PSK)

My internet is usually ok but I also use IPTV which sometimes (= every other day) hangs and takes the router (Asus RT-N13U) along.

I changed the SSID several times already because it is the only way to make the Arc find my network again. Security is WPA-PSK, I also tried WPA2-PSK, which made no difference.
I do acknowledge that the problem may be the router BUT every other device in my house (which includes several laptops, a Galaxy S2 and a Asus TF101) connects flawlessly to Wifi even after several router reboots. Just the arc throws the towel every single time.
Thats really wierd. These problems are very hard to help remotely, in my option
Try changing mac adress, and if you can log into you router and check device (arc) permissions
Also look at your routers radio type (-a, -b, -g, -n or something)
At least try a frimware upgrade/reinstall.
Thats what i got for now

First of all thank you for the time and answer.
I think from router side I'm ok, firmware is up to date, band is 20MHz, mode is b/g/n auto and no fancy settings.
The problem seems to be: as long there is a valid DHCP lease for the Sony after the router reboot, it will refuse to connect. Only after I get the lease for teh Sony out of the router (which requires a lot of fiddling) can the phone connect again.
So, to expand the question: Is there an android tool that can do some advanced networking stuff (for example something like the "ipconfig /release" command in Win?
If all else fails, I'll just buy her an iPhone
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.
Are the phone using the latest frimware?

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!!
I have a Xperia S running Jellybean (4.1.2) on standard ROM, and I cant connect it to my home network.
I have a Huawei HG523a router on TalkTalk (UK) and for the last month I have had a problem where it wont connect stating 'Failed to connect to Network'. I can see the SSID and have connected by entering the WEP key and also connected through WPS.
On the rare occasion it does connect, as soon as I attempt to use the internet the WIFI kicks me off.
I now this might be an issue with my router and I have posted a similar post on my ISP forum to see if this is the issue.
If you need any info that might help or make it easier for you all to pinpoint the problem let me know and i will do my best to supply that info.
Many thanks
Make sure the MAC address filtering on the router isnt kicking you guys out of the network.

Hello so on my s3 whenever i connect to my home WiFi it says authentication error. I know its not the router because it works great on my tv laptop and xbox. Also its not the phone because i can connect to public hotspots and my moms hotspot. If you know how to fix this problem and thanks in advance.
Maybe there's a certain limit to how many devices can connect to the router? Go into your router settings and check, if not go to your phone and try unchecking automatically connect to wifi then rebooting your phone. See if that helps!
