Wifi Connection Problem

Hi everybody,
Recently I bought the HTC Desire, but I found out that it has some issues connecting to wifi through some routers . Currently at home I am using Linksys router. I see my network on the phone and I connect to it. But when I try to browse any page it just gives me the "page not found, check your connection" screen.And at work where the router is other brand (don't remember which) I do not have that problem. I have searched the net for similar issues and I found a lot of people experiencing them but nowhere I could see a fix it. Does somebody here had the issue and most of all-fixed it.
Thank you.

Does your router have MAC filtering enabled and DNS server IP addresses applied?
On your phone, go to Settings, Wireless & Networks, Wi-Fi settings. Press Menu, select Advanced. Try selecting Static IP and enter the same DNS addresses as your router for DNS1 and DNS2.

I've tried that. My phone all the time connects to the router and it says that the connection is excellent .But the problem is that I can not load any pages. I was hoping if anyone have experienced the same problem and have a resolution for it?
Thank you.

[Q] Strange Wifi Problem after Simcard change

Hello folks,
since yesterday i have a strange Wifi Problem:
I'm running a WPA2 Wifi which runs perfectly till yesterday.
I was using it with the
desire for more then 2 weeks now.
I see myself "online" with the small Wifi Icon with full power wifi, i can ping and connect to other pc's and macs on my network but if i want to get to the outside behind my router, everything is dead.
I can see the connection request for google in my router for the desire, also i can see that the access is granted, but i get no answer. The router was not changed.
First i thought of a DNS Problem and pinged www google com (removed the dots because i am a new user) from a terminal.
No answer. I pinged the ip of www google com (removed the dots because i am a new user), still no answer.
On my PCs this worked.
i can ping anything in my network, even the router so this should not the problem, but when it gets outside the router no response.
I have searched the xda up and down and did't find something which could met my criteria.
I'm using Pays Rom 1.3 if someone want to ask.
I'm on static ip addresses and yes the desire and the router are on the same network and netmask
What did i change yesterday?
I switched to a new Simcard from the same provider. Had to type the login data for google and everything worked, i thought. Till i tried Wifi today.
If i use Edge there is no connection problem, but if i am at home i want to use wifi.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings da_druck

Problem Solved!
I tried different things like removing the wlan on my phone and adding it back up.
Adding a different dns-server, restarting the phone, etc.
This all doesn't solved the problem, and i thought it could be no problem with the router, as all the other pc's could connect to the net.
BUT i thought i should try to reboot the router itself, just to test everything and what shoud i say: Its working again. So it was no android problem.
Maybe the router was a bit upset for running for more then 6 weeks without reboot, i don't know. So this can be closed
Greetings

XPERIA S ICS WIFI issue

Hello,
I got myself an Xperia S LT26i running ICS Build number : 6.1.A.2.45 .
It connects to some Wifi networks but not the Wifi network of the Belkin basic n150 router I have at home. :crying:
. My phone displays the network after scanning and asks for the password too. But on entering the password the Wifi network status changes to "Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2" without actually connecting to it. On tapping the network again, three options pop up : Cancel, Forget and Connect.
Tried resetting, restarting and reconfiguring the router and phone several times but in vain.
I have the latest updated firmware on my router and the latest firmware on my phone too.
My iPAD, Lumia and other devices connect to the network with no problem at all.
Sony Support could not provide me with a solution. Not even my ISP.
Please HELP :crying::crying:
P.S : Excuse me for the bad english.

I have the exact same phone and i had the exact same problem! It turns out, my router did not have enough i.p addresses to allow the phone to connect; so the solution is easy, look in your settings for lan IP, then make the number at the end bigger.
For example mine was starting ip 192.168.0.2 and the end was 192.168.0.4 but i had my playstation & old phone using 2 ip's so my xperia could not be allocated one - all i had to do was change the ending ip address to a larger range like 192.168.0.10 and voila!
hope this solves your problem ..while your at it add your xperia MAC address to your router too

By adding the MAC address do you imply the MAC address filtering list ??

yes i believe that is how it is usually described in most routers' panels, i dont believe its strictly necessary to actually get your xperia to connect, but its a bit of added security for your network and will only take 10 seconds to do so /shrug.
you can find your phones MAC address in 'about phone'

Try changing the channel your WiFi router is broadcasting on.
My Xperia S didn't like Channel 13. Changed it to Channel 1, it worked first time.

I tried changing the channel from "Auto" to "1" but that dint help me in any way. Also, I noticed now that no matter what the password I enter it always says " Secured with WPA?WPA2 " .

WiFi stuck on Obtaining IP/Avoided Poor Connection

For some reason, my Wifi connectivity on my GNexus has gotten really bad lately. I'm trying to connect to my home router (Netgear WNDR3400), and it gets stuck on a loop at obtaining IP address then avoided poor connection and it keeps reseting back and forth. It only manages to connect maybe 20 mins in the day and it looses the connection again.
Reseting the router only fixes the problem momentarily then the next day it can't connect again. The router is working perfectly fine in my house w/ the computer and laptops. iPhone and HTC Thunderbolt are also perfectly fine.
What can I do to fix this?

Have you tried assigning a static ip address to the phone?
Also what type of network? My phone does it on a 802.1 wireless b network with identity security (individual uname and password to connect) Which is what my university uses... annoying it was, but i found out that foxfi was causeing the issue. But im assuming your home network isnt like that.

How do I assign a static IP to the phone?
My router is 802.11n. And it has network security, secured by WPA/WPA2 to be exact.

App called WiFi static will let you set a static IP within a dhcp network. You probably can do it through your router as well. I would read up on static vs dhcp if you have never set up a static IP before. Also you'll want to see what all of the clients ips are so you don't create a duplicate.

Is there another solution other than that?

Try to flash another Rom.I had the same issue with cm 10.1 based roms, but after flashing aokp based roms problem was solved.

Anyone having this issue on the Verizon stock ROM 4.2.2? I cannot connect to any wifi with DHCP. The only way I can connect is if I enter at static IP. I have tried about a half dozen access points with no luck. I have even done a complete phone wipe of data and tried reconnecting without logging into my google account to sync down my wifi settings. This pretty much prevents me from connecting to any public wifi hotspots unless I can guess their IP range. I have never had anything other than the stock ROM and OTA updates. Is there something somewhere I can clear or reset to fix this? It worked at one time long ago prior to jellybean I think.

wifi issues

Since I've purchased the note 10 +, I've had some wifi connection issues. The phone never stays connected, or will drop wifi frequently. Normally once a day. Now though, it is much more common, and it is for longer periods of time. I'll be casting something to my tv, and then the video will drop due to the phone trying to "reconnect" to the wifi. Has anyone else seen similar issues?

No issues here with WiFi. Do you have any other devices that exhibit this issue? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?

I've tried resetting the router, and doing a factory reset on the device. Also, I've tried it on another wifi network and it does it there as well. No other devices that I have on my wifi exhibit the same behaviour. I was hoping with a software update it would get better but it is getting worse.

Do you have a case on your phone?
Any settings made in advanced wifi settings?
Tried app like wifi analizer? Both to check the received wifi strength and also possible wifi congestion...
Are the problems only while casting to TV or also when streaming of Internet?
Did you try change in wifi settings in router, like extended lease time or assigning fixed ip-adresses to both TV and phone, change of wifi channel, switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

The wifi network is fine. Both in signal and congestion. The phone is set to be on the 5 ghz. And I've never had any issues with it on any other device. I lose signal frequently. I only used the casting example to help people understand what's happening.

Now there is a problem with many routers. Even expensive models may not solve the problem with an Internet connection. I also had problems connecting to wi-fi. The phone was disconnected from the router once every few days. I called the guys who connected the Internet to me, but they said that everything was fine on their part. They sent me a master, he looked, but could not do anything except how to change my router. A few days later, I realized that the problem was not solved and started Googling the problem on the Internet. I came across a forum where they advised me to enter this ip 192.168.1.1 and after a couple of manipulations, I was able to fix my problem.

Are you just talking about the programming page of Netgear's routers? Netgear also has apps for that...

How did entering your router's default IP address fix your issue? What changes did you make to your router's configuration?
Just saying that you entered that IP address and making a couple of manipulations doesn't help the OP.
