[Problem][Froyo WIFI][Belkin N1 Router]

it seems that
not a single froyo; froyo sens or aosp roms is working with my router.
I get "obtaining address" the hole time but not further.
has someone an idea how to get around this problem?
I know others have the same issue so it would be nice to have here some real info on what to do.
For others having the same problem:
please do not post the same problem here, of curse you should give reevant information if you having the same problem. but keep the thread clean of "me too reports" or remarks such as: "this can't be it works fine for me."
UPDATE 1 Resetting the router is not helping at all.
static IP isnot the solution as well.
I am lookin now for a ROM without Wifi N modificated driver.
thx.

You must be doing something wrong?
do you have the latest firmware in the router?
Im using a Belkin N router without any issues at all.

I also had issues with my Belkin router. Seems like a Belkin problem, because with other routers there was no problem at all.
Unfortunately I did not find a solution.

have tried to manually change the IP address of your desire?

You're asking us not post if I'm having the same issue, that seems counter-productive?
I'm having the same issue. Finding this one a little difficult one to troubleshoot. I can say that it's not specific to Belkin routers, as it happens on both my work and home wireless routers:
Netgear Wireless-N 300 ADSL 2+ DGN 2000
Netgear DG834G
Both of which have most up-to-date firmware.
Intermittently gives problems. Haven't had an opportunity to test whether a router reboot resolves the issue temporarily.
The problem seems to be with Nexus ported Froyo, not Sense-Froyo.
As suggested above, most people find that setting a static IP address works. Perhaps try an app called Wifi Static if you have multiple wifi networks with different networks with different static IPs. But in my opinion these are workarounds to a problem inherent in Android.

please have a look at the first post I updated it.
since my phone works just fine when i use Eclair 2.1 with Sense.
so I started compairing the builds seeing that they all seem to have a "hack" to bring Wifi N standard to the Desire so it might have something todo with the WIFI N enabling that all of these roms provide.
but I cat finde a build without it can anyone point me to such a build so I can try it?
thx.

I tried many radios, many WM roms, but no success with wifi, it just not work with 2.2 Android...........Belkin N1

Do normal computers work with N connection? I've used Belkin's routers in past and they all have given me issues(They look sexy though). If you disable N on Belkin's router and only keep G, does it work? Have you tried manually setting IP address, gateway, subnet and DNS?

My work around was to set a static IP on my desire only issue now I have to remember to switch back to DHCP when I leave home. Anyone wondering how to do this on android go to WiFi then press menu button again to display the advanced settings.
Would still like to find a permanent solution for the Belkin report firmware.

[Q] [Solved]Why couldn't my ONE X connect to the internet??

I've bought an good-looking white ONE X in taipei already, and everything ran smoothly in the first two days. However, when I got home this afternoon,surprisingly I found that i couldn't use wifi to connect to the internet anymore with my ONE X ~~~~(>_<)~~~~ But my friend's iphone and my ipad didn't get the problem ... I wonder if it caused by my careless action which i've killed several background programs,but I've turned them on now,and I've also used factory data reset function!!!!To my disappointment,those methods are just of no use... So what can I do to help my ONE X????????????
additionally, as you can see ,the wifi signal is strong!!!

That's very wierd, perhaps post this in this thread? A lot of people are reading that thread, if there are other people who exp this issue they will reply on it (and perhaps tell you what they did to solve it).
Anyway I'd suggest you try another Factory Reset and perhaps try connecting to another WIFI network ? Your router might be rejecting the connection from the One X?

Thanks for helping me ~

Problems with wifi or apps?

Hi. i currently use Pulse RSS reader and notice how its very very slow retrieving updates and adding new rss feeds when using my wifi.
when i use my 3g connection via T mobile, its fine?
Chrome browser seems fine on wifi, so does gmail, But i notice that even facebook and tweetcaster is very very slow using it via wifi.
Any suggestions?.
I tried tweaking my netgear router by reserving a local IP for my device and still diddnt work. im with"BeThere" internet.
The signal strength is max bars according to the device and my internet connection on my pc's are fast and acting normal. i am using a netgear DG834GT router.
Thanks in advance

I have problems to with market and zegde tot example!! On 3G its fine, tried all i could do; differernt encryption, router, switched between WPA and WPA2..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

glad im not the only one! the signal stays solid 9/10 ie i hardly lose wifi signal but the internet wifi speed is shockingly unreliable and slow! on my htc desire, ipod touch and ps vita, they all connect and use my wifi fine

this might fix my issue. seems like its my router. odd as prety much all of my other wifi devices work.

i have tried wifi at work, in my parents house and a mates house and it was fine and stable

It happens after unlocking the device and it's similar to this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590884
The wifi can totally stop or just being very very slow after resuming the device

ahh i see ok cool.

Try rebooting your router. I had the exact same issue, the One X would be shockingly bad on WiFi even though other phones and laptops would be fine on the exact same network. I tried resetting the phone but still nothing, was beginning to think the phone was faulty. Ended up rebooting the router (unplugging it for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in) and bizarrely sorted the issue out immediately. Its been 5 days now and my WiFi is still working 100% perfectly. Not sure why only the One X could get affected by this, but seems to be a common issue judging by this forum.

My solution that works so far
Hi
Actually there ar three threads currently regarding this WiFi issue. I post my reply here.
- The one here
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590604&page=2
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590884
I tried for days everything that was proposed in the three threads. Nothing really helped. The issue remained. In my repeater, the One X shows no IP number, but it must have one. The problem description is same as described in the three threads.
My solution after days of trying (forget everything about changing your routers config which has been working perfect over the past. It won't help in long terms):
I gave the One X an own repeater where it has to connect to (I've excluded it from the router and repeater one). Since then, everything works fine. It probably could also be an own router. Of course this is considered as a workaround, and I do not accept it if there will be no update in the future, or replacement of the unit if it is a hardware issue.
Question:
I guess this describes the problem and solution perfectly.
http://mhotspot.com/blog/themsk-fix-obtaining-ip-address-android-wifi-problem-2/
However, how can I give the One X an own IP? I really can't find a menupoint to do that! And saying the router to give the One X always the same IP number is not enough. This alone doesn't help.
Does anyone know where to give the One X an own IP number? If this is not possible we might have an unsolvable problem.
Tks

You can give the One X its own IP by going to
Settings>Wi-Fi>(choose your SSID)>(disconnect if you already connected)>click on the SSID again>'show advanced options'>(scroll down(touch around any of the text and move your finger up, if that makes sense)) IP Settings>click on DHCP>select static>(scroll down, same way as before)>enter the IP address etc etc
Hope that helps if you haven't already figured it out. I can always post you some screenshots if you need it?

for me it seems to be an issue with my router as every router i have used known to man(work, friends, wifi cloud) all work flawlessly.
i do have it set to static dhcp for my phone and it seem to be a bit more stable but tends to lose bandwidth fast

You could try changing the channel width on your router from 40MHz to 20MHz.
I had the exact same problem on my one x when connecting to my tp-link router at home, and changing the channel width has solved the problem completely for me.
Hope this helps

[Q] Wifi connections fail after phone is on for a few hours

I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that even though wifi is turned on and my usual networks are remembered, (home, work etc...) my One X will not connect to the wifi after it has been on a while.
When I go into settings, the wifi status cycles through 'Connecting...', 'Disconnected' and 'Scanning...'. Turning the wifi on and off on the phone has no effect.
I'm not exactly sure how long this takes to stop working, but if I restart the device, it resets the problem and I am able to use wifi again. With the quick startup and a fairly large data plan, this isn't a massive deal, but it would still be nice to be able to connect to wifi without having to restart...
Anyone had this problem before/got any ideas as to what's causing it or how to fix it? I've searched for this problem in the One X forums but found nothing, sorry if it's been brought up before...

...I have the same issue on these security protocols
WPA (TKIP)
WPA (AES)
WPA2 (TKIP)
WPA2 (AES)
WPA Mixed
Tried switching bands B, then G, now on Mixed B+G but keeps scanning, aquiring ip (Wireless router broadcasting DHCP) then skips back to scanning looping again and again.
If I reset the password on my router then it will aquire ip and be fine, but if I disconnect wireless on the phone and then try reconnect it just loops as before unless i reset the password on the router again..
Tried upgrading firmware to latest
Switched from channel 1 to 6 (midway)
It only works on the most basic WEP (hex10) setting...which surprises me as my Desire, a 2 year old device, worked just fine on WPA.
SO try WEP?

I don't want to spoil your day but I think you have a faulty unit. The same thing happened to me, with my first One X. After 4 days and nights of painfully trying everything that could fix the problem, I returned the phone and got another one. Worked strait out of the box, no issues whatsoever.
The only ways I could keep the connection was to change the security of the router to WEP, or frequently reset the router.
So if you have the possibility, change the device. Good luck.

Hmm ok thanks... Did you go through HTC or the company you bought the contract from? Just wondering whether HTC's replacement service is better than 'post it back and we'll send you a new one in a week'...

Having read in advance about the issues the One X has, described here on XDA, I decided to wait untill a reputed retailer had in physical stock, and got to see and power on the device. This also allowed a quick and hassle free exchange.
Regarding the WiFi problem, you cannot just go asking around every 30':
"... excuse me, could you please restart your
router? ... Or maybe change the security protocol to WEP?..."
I mean it's fine if you only connect vis WiFi at home where you can customize as much as you can, but what's the point of a mobile device if it's just "somewhat" mobile...:banghead:
So try and see if you can get a refund for your phone and get another from a retail store, check for screen spots, screen flickering, screen flex and of course the WiFi issue.
On the other hand the phone is truly amaizing almost cannot let it down...
Forgot to specify: One X grey, unbranded, network free.

HOX Crashing Wifi network

Hi Guys, im experiencing some annoying problem .
When i connect my phone to our Wireless network i got like 10 sec Internet access then it crashes the whole network. (I receive signal but cant connect to internet) . Then i have to restart my Router and disconnect my phone in order to get my Internet back.
Im using Static IPs but the Gateway and DNS are the same (idk if thats ok but works perfectly on my PC)
This problem appeared after the Jelly Bean update, before that ,it worked perfectly.
I would be very happy if somebody knows why is that happening.

In settings then WiFi and then use the menu button there are some settings for WiFi there must be something with frequency and then set from automatic to 2,4ghz ...this would fix it ....

I'm having a similar issue with my BT Home Hub 3 but mine will kick everyone off the wireless then add them back on straight away when i try to run anything on my HOX. (my Mrs's ipad, my laptops etc.)
I've tried router reset and changing channels on the router but nothing works.
Only happened after JB update.

Ive had this since I got the hox. Its actually got a bit better since the last update but still kills everything now and then

Yes set your router to G mode only will do the trick. Its a step down from B or N but seems the only solution. Its a HTC issue not JB because friends of mine who have other manufactures(Samsung) phones with JB have no issues on my network when my router is set to GB and N.

Basically, they are different types of WiFi networks with varying maximum speeds and distances.
