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.
Hi everyone i just bought my arc yesterday and quite satisfied with the good quality of my phone call but today i experienced a problem is that my Arc can not compatible with the Planet WRT-415 Router .When i connect to this router the wifi icon appeared on my screen but i cannot browse to the webs ,access to the android market or do anything relate to the internet (but others router at coffee shops or public spots are ok) .I also have the iphone 4, the ipod touch and when i connect them to this Planet router everything work just fine. i assume that there is something wrong with my ARC .So could you please help me fix this problem,thank you very much
my ARC info : Model LT15i
Android version :2.3.4
Build number : 4.0.1.A.0.283
I think you need reconfigure your wireless router. you can search this case in Internet.
perhaps you can check the DHCP least time?
the lease that 'never expires' might be the problem:

i have done alot of research but still can not figure it out, i also set the DHCP least time to 1 week but it doesnt work,i think it is not the hardware problem but something wrong with the firmware because yesterday i installed FXR WIFI FIX AND RESCUE and some others WIFI FIX APPS ,my device suddenly work about 1-2 hours normally then disconnected until today ,this error really make my upset,
the others device such as ,Hd2 iphone 4 and ipod touch gen1 and my laptop are ok with the wifi from this Planet Router.ony ARC has this problem
i have done : 1)reset wifi router
2) change the channel from 1 to 11
3) install WIFI FIX APPS including FXR WIFI FIX AND RESCUE
4) reset phone settings
but no helps ,

is your router running in mixed mode? my router was running in bgn mixed mode and none of my android devices connect. when I switched the router to 802.11g only or 802.11n only, all of the android devices connect again.
No my router is only running as g mode because i bought it long time ago about nearly 5-6 years ago so it does not have n mode, my problem is that my arc does not totally incompartible with my router ,sometime it suddently work then i can browse the web and surf the internet with my arc then i try to reconnect it in order to check if it is fixed then it is disconnect again. I feel really upset with my phone ,sorry about my english
Not sure where shall I post my question. Can't find an answer but decided not to create a new post when a wi-fi problem one already exists.
I am trying to connect to WI-Fi in my office but it's WEP encrypted with password.
I got the password to connect to it and everything is working fine apart from internet use. I am connected to wi-fi but with local access only. Can't update email, browse the web or anything like it.
Is it because the Xperia Arc S does not support WEP encryption? Or because I'm doing something wrong?

I do know that Android in general doesn't like WEP.
So in this case the only way to resolve the issue is to ask my company IT guy to change encryption, isnt it?
Are there any applications which could help with the problem or is it some kind of other issue and nothing can be done?

I am using WEP here at home, with no problems at all. I use my Xperia Arc and have an HTC HD Mini running Android from the SD card, both connect via WEP flawlessly.
If you can only view 'local' pages only, it could be that your company use a Proxy Server to filter the webpages you can access while at work. It could also be that the settings for the DNS server are incorrect.
Depending how easily your IT department can be bribed... It may be worth stocking up on beers?
it is not web or wpa the problem is the phone,but sometime i dont know why my phone suddenly work with my PLANET modem, because i used to leave the ARC with wifi on all day at my home sometime it can connect to the internet just like normal.like zombie turn back to life .i found that when i hear the notification ring tone when i receive new gmail at my phone ,so when i hear that tone i know that my phone work with my wifi.when i try to disconnect and reconnect at that time,i cant access to the internet anymore
I have the same issue with my Arc and Neo, and now Tablet S. Seems to be an intrinsic problem of Android. For Arc and Neo, they both worked fine with firmware 2.3.2, and refused to work after upgrade to 2.3.3. Now a further upgrade to 2.3.4 does not help.
Any inspiration? I searched the max possible I could for a solution with the Almighty Google God and tried days after nights to set/reset router/phone/Tablet, and play with settings. No hope. Strange thing to notice:
1/ Can connect for a while, and then drop for no reason. AND, will reconnect after an unknown time ticks;
2/ Cannot have all three SE/S things wifi connecting together to the same router (Mine: Buffalo). Only one at a time. Yet my other NBs/IPad/IPod are still working flawlessly.
3/ All three can connect to certain make of routers: e.g., free wifi in airport/cafe.
So what exactly is happening?
hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
The ROM is really smooth and work perfectly.
But i have strange problem.
I can connect to network and ping to google. But i cannot connect to the internet and cannot access google play, its always request time out.
Is anyone here ever have the same problem with me?

I use wifi connection. My laptop use the same connection and internet work perfectly.
there are no problem with the wifi connection when I use Kyrillos ROM.
I installed CM10, base on MF1 Official Jelly Bean.
Hope you guys could help me.
Edit: Solved. The Problem is on my dns setting. usually i don't need to set any of dns setting. on this CM10 i need to set the dns to 8.8.8.8, and internet run well.

On my Tab S 10.5 Wifi Only Model (T800), I am having some very very strange wifi issues....
It will randomly not access the internet (the wifi signal is still strong with the arrows pointing both ways but nothing will happen) No web sites will access eventhough more other devices can access everything just fine.... (Oneplus One, Laptop)
I have a DDWRT router and everything is set normally.... does anyone have any ideas?
Note: If i reset the tablet, the internet will work again... very very strange

Sounds like your router doesn't like your tablet very much
If you are sure it's connected you can always try to ping google.com from that device and see if the packets go through.
Could it be possible that, at the time of using and having 'no internet' with a steady connection, you are standing in a wifi blind-spot or something?
If not, it's probably just a hickup in your wifi connection, but this could be soooo many things....
yeah its really hard to troubleshoot.
I tried uninstalling updates from that stupid Samsung Sidesync app and so far its seems to have fixed the problem.... though I don't have Bluetooth on at all.
I'm having same issues , I read somewhere its a KitKat bug
