Hey guys,
I am new to the android world again. I just came over from an iPhone. I used to have android way back when the G1 first came out LOL. Anyways...At work we have a hidden wifi connection so normally I would go on my iPhone into wifi settings, press Other, type in the SSID, select WPA2 Enterprise, enter my username and password and be connected.
How would I go about doing this on the GS3? I go into wifi settings, I press other, enter the SSID, but it does not have WPA2 Enterprise and any of the others that I choose, does not give me the ability to enter a Username, but only a password with the exception of one of them, but that didnt even work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys
I am using the corporate wifi network. Try using WPA/WPA2 PSK option and give the network password (otherwise you cannot save the settings). Once the option is saved and it tries to connect, it will prompt to enter "Identity" which is you network user id and Password. Leave Anonymous identity as blank.
Let me know if you still have issues. I will try to provide the screenshots.

I've got an SX66
ROM VER: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM DATE: 1/21/05
RADIO VER: 1.02.10
I setup wireless manager to work on my home network. At the heart is a linksys BEFW11s4 wireless router with WEP enabled (64 bit).
It asked for the security password which I entered but it kept telling me was wrong. Finally it stopped asking me and the wireless manager show that I am connected to the network. It shows the correct SSID, channel etc.
However I still cannot access the internet or anything else on my network. It seems that I am not really connected.
What the H$!! am I doing wrong??
Please help.
Did the router give you an IP address?
I.e. Is the router DHCP enabled?
Happygoat
Yes it does give me an IP address (SX66 set to auto assign)
In reading over your post I started checking my settings and realized the problem.
I have to manually enter the key.
Once I did that...boom I am online.
Thank you for your help.

Hi I have had some problems with wifi hope you can help. I couldn’t find anything on this forum about it (maybe I didn’t search well but don’t think so) Listen, I managed to find some hotspots, I used a lot of programmes, like Streethawk, or WIFIFORM(or something like that), and many more, but all I could get was windows popping up to select connect using that and that to internet or work. I tried work, but that is it every time I got the message I couldn’t give you IP or something. like that. My Ip settings is give IP automatically. Am I doing everything ok, or is this problem network issue because I was trying to connect on public hotspot(which might be not accepting connections). And how do I know if the hotspot is accepting connections free of charge? Hope you can give me detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance
ilijamn: I use a programme called "WIFIFOFUM" and when in the programme on the left side of the window is a column called "WEP" which will either say "on" or "off" for a certain connection.. now when it says "on" you cannot use it without a network key(basically a password) but when its "off" you should be able to use without a problem...To connect to a connection while in WIFIFOFUM jus tap and hold the connection and select connect...
now also when that window pops up, its better to sellect connect via "internet" rather than "work"....
I hope this helps you...
@tradivise
Thank you it helped me a lot! But sometimes in WiForum it takes a lot of time to connect, and I tryed a lot of programmes and then I downloaded Street HAwk, It is the best one, at least for me.(the progremme does everything automativly-which is cool). Anyways, i have to ask you smth. else (prob. stupid question), when a network(hot spot) is free of charge do I need to set up IP settings and DNS settings and what is VPN?
Thanks

And is there any pocket web browser for internet that can open multiple widows(tabs)????
Thanks in advance,
Ilija
ilijamn:
VPN - Virtual Private Network, long explanation so just google search it.
IP and DNS should be setup automatically by the network, but some networks require a network key (WEP) which is like a password and without it you cant use their network...
hope this helps, any more questions jus ask!!!!
not sure about multiple tabs, if i find i will let u know
That should do it. Thank you
I have a t-mobile Dash. I'm trying to connect to my home router/AP using WPA2-PSK. I've double-checked my network key and other settings, but I can't seem to get it to connect. Here are my settings:
Network name: GTHOME <- matches my router's broadcast SSID
Network type: Internet
Not a hidden network
Not an ad-hoc connection
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Data encryption: AES
The key is not automatically provided
Network key: (matches my router's key)
Key index: 1
Does not user IEEE 802.1x network access control. (I've tried it both ways, with PEAP
On trying to connect, my Dash give this message:
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
The AP is a Netgear WPN824 v2 with the latest firmware. Any suggestions?
TIA
Try using a 9 letter word for your key.
I had an 8 letter key before. I tried 9 - no luck. What's magic about 9?

Guy, do you have a Mac Adddress Filter area on your router?Open your router so no key is required to make a connection and after you establish a connection use the WEP or WPA2-PSK key option! Can you find your Mac address and your Phone's Ip address on your router. You can find this info on your phone also in Comm Manager> setting> Wifi> Connection Status area. There is a place on your router to put this info, so that the router will know that its ok to connect to this device with this info, I believe its in the advance area on your router and use the 10 key WEP if possible!
Install NetWorkMagic To You System
Go to http://www.networkmagic.com and install the trail version on your PC. Networkmagic will tell you if your system is setup correctly or if their is some kind of problem. Use the network map, this will give you a good ideal of whats going down on your system......! If you cannot see your phone on the network map, then Houston, we got a problem...........!But we will fix it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Yep 8 is secure enough. try again without any caps or numbers. e.g. give aaaaaaaa a try
And see that error you mention, that looks like the one IE gives. What happens when you press connect in the wifi list?
I found that having any character other than a-z, 0-9 would cause the dash to fail to connect even though pc's and laptops had no problems. My initial key contained a "-" and "$"-- it drove me crazy trying to figure out the problem until I realized only the dash couldn't connect.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday
I double-checked the MAC address filter - it's turned off.
I was able to connect with Open Authentication and WEP Data encryption, and if I disable security altogether. Neither of these options is satisfactory.
I also tried 'aaaaaaaa' as the key. It doesn't work in either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK with TKIP or AES encryption.
The warning I get when I press the connect key in the wi-fi list is -
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
Make sure the Key Index on the phone matches the Key Rotation on the router.

I don't think I'm using Key Rotation. Isn't that just for WEP? And, only if you have a RADIUS server? I just have a simple home network, nothing fancy.
I have a basic USRobotics router and it supports key rotation for WPA2. I had it set to 0 (meaning off), however there was no equivalent setting on my S621. The S621 could only be set at 1,2,3,or 4. When I set both the S621 and the router to the same number (in my case 4) I was able to connect.
My netgear doesn't have a place to set key rotation. I tried each key order (1 - 4) on the phone - no luck.
I even tried installing the evaluation version of CommView for WiFi (http://www.tamos.com/products/commwifi/) so I could see what each device is doing. But, I don't have a compatible adapter.
Your Router's IP Address Is 192.168.1.1 Not 192.168.0.1

For your router with IP address 192.168.1.1 with the WPA encryption, turn on the MAC address Filter and install the phone's MAC address in the router in the appropriate area, save settings (soft reset)! Now your phone will now be able to connect to your network via wifi.........!
Well, it's working now in WPA-PSK(TKIP) mode. Here are the changes I made:
I installed a new battery (my Dash started dying every time I turned on wireless while on the battery).
I removed a network called "Free Public Wireless." The Dash would try to connect to this network when it failed to authenticate on my encrypted network.
I suspect the "Free Public Wireless" network was interfering with the login to my home network. I'm just happy that it's working.
Hi, all,
I have the same problem:-
"Cannot connect tot the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
After some troubleshooting, I found that this problem will go away when I set some IP address in the network adapter.
I have confirmed that my password (network key) is correct and my MAC filter are also correct.
The only changes that I can think of is that I went to US last week and connected using hotels' wireless access. No IP settings were done during the connection.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem.
Many thanks in advance.

I looked around the forum and searched on Google but was still skeptical how to connect my Evo to my home internet connection. I turn on my Evo WiFi, it shows my connection so I push connect. Then I see I am unable to to browse from my phone. I have a speedstream 5200 that is connected to my airlink wireless router. I would like to use my home internet so I can browse on my phone. I have a username and password that I have to put in, in order to log on such as my laptop.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Also does this have to do anything with vpn?
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post
If your router has a password, the phone should prompt you to enter that. If not, your router could be using a weird security profile, maybe just try switching to WEP. Also, try unplugging the router's power for a minute, then plug it in. That usually fixes any problems with the router itself.
Ill try that and see. If anyone else has this type of issue and somewhat knows how to resolve this pls post. But thank you sitlet Ill give that a shot and respond back asap.
WEP/WPA/WPA2 will all prompt for a password when you try to connect.
A few things to check:
1) The SSID must be set to broadcast
2) make sure there isn't a MAC address filter turned on on the router.
3) if you have entered a password to connect, re-enter it to make sure it is correct.
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
Ok I did everything mentioned above and I can get into my router settings but I still can't figure out why my Evo won't use my att service. I see the "connect to, my router " but still can't actually connect to use the internet. Am I suppose to use a VPN? please help again my friends, thanks.

OP, it sounds like your modem is passing on the PPPoE authentication to the connected client (your computer). What you need to do is have the modem do the PPPoE handshaking and pass a pure public IP back to your router, which then via NAT shares the internet connection across connected devices.
Reference page 21 (not pdf page, but actual page # printed at the bottom of the pages in the pdf) of your modem's owner's manual to provide your login credentials to the modem.
http://www2.windstream.net/downloads/links/SpeedStream211.pdf
On page 38, refer to configuring the modem for client mode.
You should configure your router for DHCP wan mode. You may need to adjust your MTU setting if there is one. I don't recall the exact procedure for dsl setups, but google "optimal mtu dsl" for information.
Finally, your computer should be set up for dhcp as well. When everything is working properly, you should not need to run any additional software on your computer to gain internet access. When this becomes so, your evo should be able to connect successfully to your wifi. Once you're able to do this, you can start implementing wireless security (wep/wpa/wpa2).
Edit: You're not clear what you're typing in when you reference logging in in one of the posts above. Are you supplying windows credentials, or your isp credentials ([email protected] or [email protected] or similar and password)?
Has this worked for anyone? I haven't really searched much on this, but has anyone gotten it to work? If so, how?
Sent from my PC36100.
Yes, my university's network uses WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1x authentication.
I need to select the network, set the EAP method to PEAP, the Phase 2 authentication to MSCHAPV2, CA Certificate to unspecified and User Certificate to unspecified. Type my Identity (username), leave Anonymous Identity blank, then type my personal password.
When I connect to my network on a desktop/laptop computer, I need a specific CA certificate, but our network bypasses that for mobile devices.
I hope this can help you, there are so many different ways a network could be set up, and since I am on a private university connection, it may not be similar to your network.
Thanks a bunch! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
Hey guys,
I am new to the android world as of 2 weeks ago or so.
I was just wondering, is there any way to connect to WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, but the type that asks for Username.
On the iPhone I was able to enter Username and Password which is what is required for my corporate network here, but on the android, for some reason I am not able to get this and when I select WPA/WPA2 PSK it only asks me for password, but it cannot authenticate me because I need to use my corporate Username and Password to access the network.
Please let me know if you guys can advise me on this.
Thanks in advance
