Wifi Issuses

Hi all,
I have done a search for this but cannot find someone with my exact problem so have given up and post my first thread. Still slightly a noob to this, however I cannot connect to my home WiFi. It gets stuck in a loop trying to receive a IP from the router, basically I can see the router but that is it.
My phone is running clockwork mod and a stable version of Cyanogen Mod 7.1. The router is a Belkin wireless N.
I have tried using a static IP on the phone, adding MAC address to router (90% sure both those details was input correctly) Adding the Wifi network manually to phone. I have tried connecting on to other WiFi's, have only managed to connected to half of the ones I have tried. It worked at the hotel I was staying at for work and my uncle's home network, but will not work at my uncle's work network or mine.
I don't think I have left anything out.
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance

Are any of the networks you're trying to connect to use any security?
Also, run alogcat; maybe that will show where the errors are.

Yea, my uncle's home, work and my router use WPA/WPA2, cant remember the hotels one but I would imagine it would be the same. Oh also tried my router without security and it's still the same.
OK, doing a logcat now, but what do I do then? just looks like tons of code. Does it just loop over and over again?

Are there any known issues between android and belkin routers? as I have just remembered that my cousins android tablet and his Samsung S2 phone wont connect either and they are are not modified in anyway(rooted or custom roms)

[Q] Wireless router not appearing but on stock

Dear all,
I have tried installing three of the most famous mods here, being Hell, Energy and Reloaded, and I have the same exact problem with all, my wireless router does not appear in the scan list.
Weird as it is, when I flashed the GR8 modded 6.3 stock rom, it started detecting my wireless router again. It is important to note that my neighbor's router appears just fine on all mods, but my DLink DIR-655 doesn't appear at all.
My laptop, ipad 2 and ps3 are all connected to it, just not the KF when any non-stock rom is installed.
Any work around to this? Please advise.

if you are getting other wifi's to show up, then it's probably some sort of issue with your router. Try changing the channel. Perhaps also you have turned off broadcasting for new devices at some point ?

Before you get to far try flashing a different rom anything that's gr8 and modded isn't stock lol fashioned after stock but nonetheless not stock you can also try adding the network through advanced options or rebooting your router so it becomes recognizable again

ditto
Has your issue been resolved because I have the same exact problem. When i first got my kindle it recognized my network but after being rooted and trying several roms it does not see my network. My laptop / xbox / roku / phone all see my network but the kindle does not. I see all my neighbors networks. Please let me know if you came across a fix for this. Thanks.

I also have problems connecting to some wifi networks on ICS builds. However, I was able to connect to those with CM7 builds.

My work around thus far was downloading an app called Connectify and installing it on my laptop. It creates a wireless hotspot with my existing wireless network. Surprisingly the kf connects to the hotspot.

Ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same problem.

[Q] KF can't connect to my phone's Wifi Hotspot?

I have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro 2). I have an app that allows it to run as a wifi hotspot (install file is called mobilewifirouter.cab).
Other devices connect to the hotspot fine, but the kindle just doesn't see it... even when they're right next to each other. Otherwise the kindle wifi works ok.
Is there any way I can get this going? It's tedious having to constantly consider wifi availability when I'm travelling with it. Maybe the KF doesn't see anything using a very old 802.11 standard?

ad-hoc vs infrastructure
I think the issue is the phone itself. Or rather, the chip/radio only being able to broadcast on ad-hoc which the KF (and other new 'droid devices) doesn't support. I used the same wifi manager you did, same results...
I have a ATT Tilt 2, btw

I guess I have the same problem:
I'm trying to have my lg p500 (android 2.2.1) working as a wifi hotspot and access it from my galaxy tab (3.2) but I can't never "see" my network from it.
Other devices (laptop, nokia E71) can connect, but not the galaxy tab.
Galaxy tab can connect to other wifi networks, but not the one I create in my phone with "Wifi Thether" app.
Any workaround to fix this?
Thanks,
João

I think WM6.5 wifi router software uses Adhoc mode for wifi rather than infrastructure mode. Android cannot connect to adhoc wifi network unless you have a modified WPA supplicant file (which can make your android device unstable).

Kindle Fire and many smartphones/tables cannot connect to the internet via ad-hoc.
Use Connectify software to create a access point from your laptop.

It's a problem that is corrected easily, all you need is ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher. It works, VERY well.

If you are on Stock ROM and rooted, this is perfect
But, if you are on a CM9 ROM(unsure about others), there is no ad-hoc support yet...

He didn't really say if he was using stock or not. I just posted what I know works. If it is wrong for him/her, then I am wrong!

I tried the app on CM9 ROM's, it doesn't play friendly...

For anyone else who searched this thread and they're trying to connect to an android phone... just wanted to recommend FoxFi. I tried several other apps and they all failed (probably due to some quirk of the Kindle Fire's, everyone's recommending these apps). But FoxFi got the job done. But only if you run it without a password. If you're fed up trying to make the kindle connect to your phone, try it.

the problem here is that KF running CM9 or CM10 cant connect to an adhoc wifi yet, not the problem of the phone.

Wifi w/ Gederom

I rooted my Kindle Fire and installed Gederom. While setting everything up it asked for me to connect to a network. Didn't work, so I thought no big deal and continued setting it up. I then tried Wifi again but it just won't work. This is what it does: Obtaining IP address ----> Saved ------> Obtaining IP address -----> Saved -----> Etc. My Wifi has been screwed up lately BUT I have gotten it to work on my iPod Touch, but even that works on and off. I might try going to my Local Library tomorrow if need be.
Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I think that may be your WiFi, gederom worked fine for me. If all else fails try and reflash after a wipe, tends to fix ,most problems out there.

[Q] Problems with WiFi in CM9 on Kindle Fire

So I'm a noob....yeah....with that said....
I rooted my Kindle Fire and Installed TWRP then flashed CM9.
Everything looks and runs smooth but when searching for WiFi it finds hotspots all over the neighborhood except for the one in my house.
I'm running a cheap D-Link router that works good enough for what I need..
WEP security
Mixed g,n,b
Channel Width is set to Auto 20/40 MHz
The Kindle Fire was able to pick up my WiFi before I flashed the new ROM.
Any help for a noob here?
