WiFi help

Hy. I bought my defy one week ago and I have noticed some inconsistencies with the WiFi function. I got it tot work on a public network in a restaurant on the first try. At home however everything seems so random : I got it to connect to WiFi 5-6 times eventhough I don't have a router but most of the times I get the : "connection detected" notification but no internet access ( when i select the network in the wifi settings it says the signal is excellent ).
My modem is a Huawei EchoLife HG520s, I am running windows 7 x32, my phone was not rooted and i didn't make a blur account.. that doesn't work either.
I would really appreciate your help.

You are getting wifi signal at home but do not have a router? You mean a wifi router? If that's the case maybe you are picking up wifi signals from someone else's router and you cannot connect because you need to sign on? If you are having trouble getting on your own router, could you tell us what it is etc.?
You didn't set up a Blur account? Or you did and it doesn't work? Where are you located? If you tried to set it up and couldn't it may be because some markets (I hear) do not support Blur. For instance, there are some models of Defy that do not have Blur and that's probably why.

Sorry i should have made it clearer: i have not bought any kind of router but the modem i use could have a wifi router incorporate(i don't know if it does i lost its documentation).
I live in a house with no nearby sources of wifi and both networks (the one i use to connect to the internet from my pc and the wifi i find if i scan wth my phone have the same name)
I live in Romania and everytime i try to set up a Blur account and click the start button it cancels.

Is there any way you can temporarily disable your modem's wifi security just so you can get on to see if that works? Make sure to turn it back on after, this is just to see if that's the cause of the trouble.
Also about setting up a Blur account - did you try that at home, or at an open Wifi area (eg. the restaurant)? If it doesn't work at home then I guess it's worth trying it at the restaurant or any other place where you can get the connection to work.

Well the network i get here at home is 'open' and i get a connection everytime.. just no internet access on my phone and the computer doesn't seem to recognise the connection (happen exactly he same even on the times i had internet access)

exactly what happened to me. is not a router's problem but a DNSes problem.
you must enter the router and disable the "automatic DHCP". enter in the settings of the phone, wifi, advanced DNS settings automatically if not found. and it work.
P.S. after this if you have problems with your computer, right click the connection, and then do "problem solving". good luck ...

the only problem is that I can't seem to find a router in my devices.. i have a internet modem that might have a wi-fi router incorporated

How does the computer connect to the modem if it uses USB i'm not too sure what you can do but if it uses ethernet what I recommend you do is click on start, and type in "cmd" when this loads type "ipconfig /all" this will then bring up all the details of your connection. What you are looking for is the default gateway, this will be the address of your router. With this add "http" and the default gateway number into a browser,you should then be able to get into the routers config and then you can follows powertony84's guide.

Well i'm pretty sure the network I connect to with my phone is mine because i just changed its security level to WEP using bobdigby advice. But I got lost afterward.
I have attached a prinscr of the DHCP setting i can fiddle with and i really appreciate your help so far

Any idea what channel i should use? i got a tip to chage the channel but i don't know into which one

I don't use any router but I turn my laptop, which supports wifi, into a wifi hotspot so that my defy can use wifi within my apartment. It's wonderful!

[Q] Anyone connected sucessfully to eduroam wifi network yet?

I can't connect to my university's wifi network (eduroam, PAE). Although I use the exact same settings and certificates as my notebook and also compared it to other android users, there is just no way to connect sucessfully: "Authentification failed"
Has anyone managed to do so?

I have no problems connecting to eduroam network. I use TTLS on the first step and PAP on the second verification step. Don't know if every eduroam network is the same though, but in the Netherlands, it works.

Hmm, thank you. Do you also have the strange behaviour that the 2nd pass authentification is reseted when reentering the network configuration?
I read that there was such a strange behaviour back with gingerbread and some accesspoints, but that should already have been fixed in anroid 4?

Hi,
I am having also some problems with my WIFI connection. My wifi connection is not on the list and phone is not connecting. All other connections(from neighbours) are ok. I have had this problem in the past and i managed to solve it with a change of the WIFI name and reboot, but now i get it again. Why is this happening ?

Solved:
My router connection was on "auto channels" and i changed that on Channel 6(or any other channel you want) and solved the problem.

LG G3 can't locate wifi connection

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a verizon LG G3, VS985.
Initially I connected it to my home wifi and everything was working fine until the next day, it wasn't showing or locating my home wifi connection! My neighbors' connections were located even thise which are far away!
All of my other devices are detecting my wifi connection and are connecting and my SSID isn't even hidden!
Please help me out in this regard.

Forget the network through Android settings, reboot the router and the device and report back.

Have you rebooted the router itself? Also have you tried changing the SSID?

WiFi drops on Galaxy S20+ 5G (stock ROM)

Hi there.
I hope, I am in the right forum ...
Since a few days I have issues with my WiFi connections. I tried to
reboot
shutdown and restart
reset network settings
used different WiFis (but from the same router)
Other WiFi devices in my network have no issues. What I was changing in the last days was, that I added a repeater to the mesh WiFi. But even when I am not connected to the repeater but directly to my router (which is AVM FritzBox 6591 cable - Germany), it drops the connection. To be more precise, it says "Connected without internet".
Any ideas maybe...?
Thanks in advance!

As solution to this strange behaviour I found that connection added with QR code works fine. The QR code scanned network has the exact same settings than the manually added, but stays connected stable *hummm
maybe this can help someone later..
thanks anyway
