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!
Hi All,
I have a D-Link DSL-2740BR N 300 modem router. When I connect my HOX to it's Wifi I get data for about 10 seconds and then it totally locks up. I still have a connection and good signal, but no data come up or down. If I now leave it connected after about 10 minutes all wifi data on my router stops working so no other devices can use it. As soon as I disconnect my HOX from the wifi data returns to all other devices!
I have set the channel so it's not on automatic selection and I have given my HOX a specific DHCP lease, other than that I can't seem to change any other settings on my router that I can see would influence this.
Does anyone have ANY hints coz I don't feel like forking out for a new router and this is just ridiculous!
Thanks in advance.
this happens at work, my hox connects to a linksys wag120n, which is acting as a wap, its connected to another netgear prosafe router.
sometimes, not always, when the hox disconnects, it stops the internet working for all connected devices, even if they aren't using the wireless router at all! then i have to reboot the wireless router, not the other one, to make everything work again.
it doesn't do this at home, it's weird, i've tried playing around with the router settings but no difference... really annoying problem
Did you try to chane WPA to WEP encryption method? It may help. I had the same kind of problem with my Zyxel router.

I haven't tried that. I have had issues with ROMs on my old phone (X10) that it couldn't connect to WPA, but I didn't even think that could be a problem as it does actually connect... It's worth a try I guess, but I think I'm gonna have to try buying a new router...
Cheers.

Yes it is a really annoying problem. I do know that it happened less often with the original ROM & Kernel, but who am I kidding? There's no way I'm going back from CM9!
ive tried a factory reset on the wireless router, will report back whether it helps or not.

Ahh! Thank you! That totally fixed it! I can't believe that could even be a problem... Do you think it's the phone side, or the router side that's having issues with WPA?
Thanks so much!
btw, a factory reset didn't help, however, i have changed my 'Network Mode' option to 'G-only' instead of 'Mixed'
so far, so good, it's been a day or two now, one x happily connecting and disconnecting as i go in and out of office, and the internet hasn't gone down yet!!
glad to hear you got yours working properly as well RaVe-N

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 " .

I have the same problem but after I bought dual band (2.4ghz and 5ghz) wireless router. Problem solved. Connet your Note 10.1 2014
to 5ghz wifi network, all Bluetooth devices using 2.4ghz frequency as well as you microwave oven and your cordless phone... it is abit crowded for video streaming.

I have D-Link DIR-605L (802.11n) router at home and everything was working fine. Suddenly since past few days, my N3N is not getting connected to wifi router properly. I have to disable and enable wifi on phone 4-5 times atleast and then it connects automatically. On the same router other android, iphone and windoes phones and laptops connects properly to same router.
I thought there is prob with my phone, but the same phone works properly in office. It connects and works with no issues on office wifi.
I have already tried below mentioned troubleshooting steps
- factory reset router and phone both
- tried various security settings (WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc)
- upgrading os on phone and router both
- enable 802.11g mode, mix mode etc.
What could be issue? and any way we can fix this.

My phone was with Samsung service center for 4 days and they said there is no WiFi issue at all. They are able to connect to other DLink routers with no issues.
