I just installed Hellfire 2.8 on my galaxy s3 and it works perfect except for connecting to WiFi. Every time i try to connect to my WiFi I get Authentication Problem. I looked all over and couldn't find anything to fix this problem. Any suggestions?
Set Router Authentication to Open then try. If that works then try WEP.
Not all Roms implement WPA2 encryption the same way. Your router and phone could be talking different lingo.
My authentication type is set to auto and for my router that means it allows open and shared but there is also no way of changing this since it is greyed out. I looked all over cisco's site and found nothing to allow me to change this
That is strange. I am sure there should be an option. Is yours a N router?
Never mind i found out how to change it. Not the best idea to change it to wep since my router claims it would get best rates out of wpa/wpa2
Yes WPA2 is more secure but stability before higher security

Where the hell is it?
After using the preferred W2003 method of tapping everything in sight in the vain hope that I might stumble across what I'm looking for, I've failed miserably. So, having configured my shiny new router for WPA encryption, how the bl**dy hell do I configure the XDA2s to talk to it via WPA?

Connect to your shiny new router with your XDA2s. A "window" will popup and ask you for the key.
Assuming that the PPC can use (WPA) Authentication, which I can not prove since I use 64bit (WEP) encryption. If WPA auth. doesn't prompt on your PPC, try using WEP for WiFi security on your shiny new router.
I'm using WPA-PSK with my Linksys WRT54G (Firmware v3.03.6) without problems ..
QTEK9090
ROM: 1.22.00 WWE
RADIO: 1.10.00
PROTOCOL: 1337.391
EXTROM: 1.22.557 WWE (cooked)
BT: 3500 (with patch)
Yes, but is your router shiny?
Try putting the WINS address "192.168.0.1" or whatever address of your router is.
Also some devices would only accept the Hex variety of the key you choose.
Good luck.
I have a similar problem. I have a linksys wireless router set to secure.
My SX66 asks me for the password. When I enter it I get an error message that it is not the correct password.
The SX66 then says it is connected to the network and shows the SSID and other details, but other than this message it doesn't seem to be connected and I cannot connect to the internet.
What am I'm doing wrong?
To get to the options:
1) turn on the wireless
2) wait for it to pop up asking you if your router connects to "work" or the "Internet". I assume you will want to click "work".
3) Open the wireless LAN manager
4) Click the TOOLS menu at the bottom.
5) Choose NETWORK CARDS
6) You should have a "Configure Wireless Networks" window up.
7) Tap your shiny router one time (it should say connected BTW)
Now you should have 3 tabs at the bottom, General - Network Key - 802.1x . Under the Network Key tab you should have 4 options for Authentication - Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK. The data encryption option will depend on which authentication you choose. I beleive you should choose WPA for authentication and WEP for data encryption. Then put in the key. If that does not work, try TKIP for data encryption maybe.
I have not tested out any of this myself yet. I still have an old linksys running 128 bit WEP. I am getting a Sonicwall TZ-170 SP (think that is the model #) and will then try WPA and maybe even see if I can get RADIUS working through the PDA2K.

I just got my home WiFi network running; this is so cool!
Hi everybody,
A question re., conecting my Desire to the WiFi on my computer. I am using WPA2 for security and the phone will not conect. Is there a fix for this problem, download etc?
the phone excepts WEP but I prefer the stronger protection of WPA2.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Hi Paul,
To be honest from what i know your better off using WPA as apposed to WPA2 unless you use your WAN for corporate purposes, all your doing is weighing down the packets of data further with more encryption thus slowing your network in general. I've used WPA with mac/linux/windoze for years with no problems!
Paul, you might try changing the password and re-entering it. It's a pain to do it, but it's all I can think of. I'm using WPA2 with a strong password no problem. It's slow entering all the characters but you only have to do it once, assuming you set it up right. Modern computers, routers, and smart phones should have no problem handling WPA2 encryption. The latency out on the Internet is worse than any slowdown from locked-down WiFi. Your router is likely capable of far greater speeds than you are getting from your ISP, anyway.
I'm assuming you are having trouble connecting the Desire to your WiFi router, right? You said "connecting to your computer" in the question, but I think you are trying to connect to the WiFi hotspot in your house/office/whatever. If you are trying to connect directly between the Desire and your computer (tethering, for example) then that's something totally different.
Try and just reset the password on the router to something really simple and try that first. If it works, you probably typed something wrong or something simple like that. Go back once you get it working and choose a much stronger password then. Good luck.
yes i have the wpa2 and i use a very long password without problems...try forgetting it from settings and reentering its info
wifi using wpa2
Thanks guys for your replys, I will try out your sugestions and get back to you.
An issue I am having is:
I will connect my phone to wifi it will connect fine and tell me I am connected.
I could then later on go into the market and try download something I will have wifi bars but the item will pause download. I then come back out to check if my wifi is still connected and it will say authenticating but doesnt change so I then turn the wifi off and back on. It connects again this time when I go back into the market to download something it works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
Hey guys still having this issue where my wifi looks like its connected but when i go to settings->wireless&networks-> wifi status will say authenticating with wifi.
It only happens me in my house with my router which is a zyxel router doesn't seem to happen in my parents house.
Is there anything I can do to stop this as its really annoying?

Try changing the authentication type of your router's settings. And if you use MAC security for your wifi, you can disable it.

Well it depends on your router but generally it's under Wireless->Security settings. Mine is with WPA-Personal authentication and TKIP algorithm.
Ok just to update this I have resolved the issue of my zyxel router by changing the security type from wpa-psk to wep.
Wep isnt as secure as wpa-psk but it suites consoles and portable devices better. Since I have changed I havnt been disconnected from the wireless.
I would say that your router has a problem with wpa authentication, I wouldn't recommend a wep authentication. If your wifi signal can be detected from the road where you live I could hack into it in about 10min and many other people plus there a custom antennas that can be made to detect signals and get better range etc.
I recommend you get a better router, something from netgear or belkin would do the job to keep your wifi safe and use wpa+wpa2 together with tkip+aes encryption.
Hi, I cant get Wif-Ace to work( it just goes to a black screen when i open it) and when it works I dont know how to set it up so i can use wifi! Can you help?!
Try this version from google code. It works fine on my TP2. As far as settings, I basically turned off everything except WEP password. It depends on how your wireless router is set up. Just match wifi-ace settings to what is on your router.

WEP is EXTREMELY insecure. If you have any option, get rid of WEP. If it's not your router, tell whoever owns the router that it is a very insecure protocol and any script kiddie with a laptop can bust into it in less than 2 minutes.
Don't use WEP!!!!
But i need WEP so i can download apps faster!!!

Uh... what? You really think it's that much faster than WPA? Might as well just run an open network. I seriously doubt that WPA/2 adds that much overhead...
di what i do change my modem to wpa2 more fast and more secure before wep easy hack
wep i have ap rogram with the madem of you modem i now you speedtouch password
how do you change it to WPA2

How did you change it to WEP?
The security settings are in your router. Kinda outside of the scope of not just XDAndroid, but xda-devs in general.
I didnt change it to WEP, it just came that way when i bought internet and i dont think i can change it to WPA2 cause i have 2WIRE

Tell your provider then.
i use is wpa2-psk and work with everything waring when you have to this key you have to reconnect everything to the router (put the password again to every equipment). one time i used wpa2 the first some with the modem and docent work very well

Thanks emanuelrv, I changed it to WPA2
Hi everyone,
I'm using Galaxy W with stock ROM (XXLA2/rooted) and ZyXel (P-660HW-T1 v3) wireless router. I can connect and use wireless home network for a period of time but after a while WiFi drops and then reconnects. This repeats continuously...
I've tried switching WPA2 to WPA also tried using MAC filter only (without WiFi pass), but all of them were useless... Changing from dynamic to static IP also did not worked
I tried a couple of Market apps to fix WiFi issue, but they did not help me either...
Do u have any idea what may cause my WiFi drop problem?
I need your help...
Thanks...
Have you the latest firmaware on your Zyxel?
And is your phone only having problems with this router or all access points? (just to determe the problem eg your phone or your router)
Edit: Try to set the "ReAuthentication" setting higher (9000), i think that solves your problem!
Yes my ZyXel firmware is up to date.
I could not have chance to test my phone with other access points
By the way where can I find the "ReAuthentication Setting" ?

Don't know .... i did read your user manual, but didnt pay attention where this settings is....
You have to try to find it yourself
Ok, i found it and set to 9999 max value
I'm testing it, i hope i do not get any more drop
Thanks for your interest...
Well you can get a drop, but its only every 2.7 hour, if thats not ok, you could try to set it to 0 maybe then re authentication is fully off.
Setting the value to 0 sounds good Then it will become something like WEP i think...
Anyway I'll try also this...
Thanks...
please don't use wep keys as they are awful weak
stay with wpa or wpa2
Actually I do not wanna use WEP but since it is static maybe it will help me get a more stable wireless connection. And when i tried WEP for the first time, I noticed signal quality got a abit stronger Is it logical or strange?
I know WPA/WPA2 is more safe but I wonder if using WEP with MAC filter is equivalent to WPA in terms of security issue?

It isn't. Have a read about the differences:
WEP used a 40-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP employs a per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new 128-bit key for each packet and thus prevents the types of attacks that compromised WEP.[3]

(From the Wikipedia Wi-Fi_Protected_Access page - I can't paste the link as I'm a new forum user)
I see...
I'd better keep using WPA/WPA2.
Thanks for the explanation...

MAC filter security is the best, and even much better than WPA or WPA2!
The advantage is that MAC id's are like a footprint for a network card, like a DNA.
The disadvantage is that every device you want to add you have to do it manually.
Good luck!
my phone does drop wifi sometimes too.

Sorry dude, but i can't let you say such a thing.
MAC filter can improve security with encryption but cannot replace WPA/WPA2.
I can crack your mac filtering with WEP security within 10 minutes or less. Just sniffing promiscious packets from your router and identifying your network device MAC address.
Many tools exist to easy change any MAC address from network devices. So no, mac address is not a DNA, because it can be changed easily.
So, the best is still WPA2 Entreprise (but it needs Radius Server) or WPA2 personnal with AES encryption. And MAC filtering is good idea, but not alone !.
Thanx mate.....I was just gonna post a link about MAC spoofing and how insecure MAC filtering is.
Here it is anyway:

I do not understand, although I tried wifi connection with WEP without MAC filtering and also WPA (with "0" & "9999" reauthentication setting) I still get drops
Any other idea/suggestion?
(as a reminder: I'm using Galaxy W with stock ROM (XXLA2/rooted) and ZyXel (P-660HW-T1 v3) wireless router)
I'm still having wi-fi drop issue with also custom ROMs...
Is it possible to replace/update modem driver?
Do you have any other idea?

I'm still having wifi drop issues... Wifi keeps connecting for a couple of minutes and then drop and reconnect again... in a cylce...
I tried lots of things but could not completely solve issue...
Any other idea?
