Go into networks, access points... Aka APN, and change the settings. E correct settings should be in q and a or general forum... Based on what you saying.. Its my guess. Could be wrong tho.

what would my Mobile Data settings have anything to do with wifi problems?

My mobile data isn't the problem though, its my wifi, i cant access my home internet, I can access the local area network fine, but no internet, my mobile data works fine though (am sending this message via mobile data right now in fact)
Edit: fixed it, my modem/routers settings were really strange and messed up

My epic 4g touch is rooted, and I have both wifi tether and barnacle on the phone. I've been trying to connect my Asus G50 to it for a day and a half now with no success. I can see the network but cannot join. What has been even more frustrating is that I have been able to fully connect with other computers. So I know it's something with my laptop, but I cant figure out what, I've reinstalled the drivers, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless device. (which sucks because I know I just lost all my other wifi info's).
I'm really not sure what the next step here is and I could really use some help.
anyone have any ideas?
Wifi tether is crap.... Can someone please hack sprint hotspot app like on epic og?

You are doing better than me. If I enable security it doesn't even show on my laptop and if I disable it, it shows but my computer never can connect. I tried to enable it for BT tethering instead but had no luck there either.
What version are you using?
I can connect but I can't browse the internet. MS downloads updates just fine. I can ping www.google.com from cmd just fine, but I CANNOT browse the internet with IE, firefox, or Chrome.....wtf?

I tried this version http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I also tried the version on android market
EDIT - I noticed a 5002 in my event viewer. Even though I've never had a problem connecting to a wireless device before I updated my network driver on my laptop and I'm connected NOW!!! I still can't enable security but at least I have a connection!

Thats the same version I have. Are you using your phones 4g or 3g connection for the internet? I didn't even bother with 3g because its so frustratingly slow.

I'm using 3G because my 4G is even slower than 3G where I am in Culver City - I get about 400k with 3G.
What is the security set at on the phone.... Wap.... Then check the setup for laptop.... Make sure they match....
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

I don't think you can have security enabled on the phone - it won't show up as a choice for wifi on your laptop.
Any progress here?
Both versions of wifi tether as well as Barnacle don't even show up as an available network on my Galaxy tab (no security set)

you need a new wpa supplicant file with permissions properly set. It works every time. Google wpa supplicant.
I was playing around with settings tonight and discovered Settings -> More Settings (under Data) -> tethering. Checked it, paired my phone and my Win7 PC, initiated an "access point" connection from the PC, and suddenly I was browsing while using my phone as an access point. Granted it was 3G speeds, but it did work.
Does this work for me because I have mobile hotspot, or is this a feature that shouldn't be working, or does it work for everyone? I'm not rooted, using the latest software update (with multiview). I can't even remember far enough back to when a carrier would have ever simply allowed bluetooth tethering, not even Sprint. It's a nice feature to have since WiFi radios usually wear batteries down faster.

this will work for anyone the only thing differnet for people subscribing to hotspot and those who dont is the ability to wirelessly tether with hotspot. hopefully soon we anyone rooted at least will be able to use free wifi thether
Interesting, thanks. I'm still surprised Sprint would allow this considering they offer unlimited data.
That's weird. I just tried this and I got an error 67, registration failed. Maybe they "fixed" it in the software update.

Are using a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint? Your image tag says you're on AT&T.
Sprint has unlimited data on the phone data only. They have separate plans for hotspots.
2GB @ $19.99
6GB @ $49.99

I wasn't talking about hotspot. I was talking about Bluetooth tethering, and asking if it requires hotspot to work, because with unlimited data you could tether with bluetooth and theoretically have unlimited internet on your PC through your phone.
Can you tether via wifi? There is a wifi tethering app. You can find on xda or PM me and I will email it to you or post a dropbox link.

I live in Jamaica (I'm using a T999 here) and my network allows me to tether free. The problem is when I try to turn on tethering and mobile hotspot it just turns itself off without even trying to connect. When I had my BlackBerry, I would just enter the apn settings and I was good from there. Do I need to get a app just to tehter?
You may try WIFI Tether in the play store. It's free.
At the same time, if you flashed JBFrost ROM, you can just toggle the Mobile Data on the pull down.
Good luck. I'm giving away free good luck to everyone for the holiday spirit lolz

foxfi showed that it connected, but when i tried to connect my tablet I got network timed out.

I have the exact problem,my phone is unlocked and outside USA, Did you find a solution?, all I can find is solutions for the redirect page.
Ever since I flashed my first ROM (Dandroid), I haven't been able to use AT&T Wi-FI Hotspots.
Before, my phone would automatically connect me to ATT Hotspots and I'd have an internet connection instantly (no login required). But now when I connect to a hotspot, it requires me to sign in. When I open up my browser, I am redirected to a page that lets my buy ATT Wi-Fi Access or login if I already bought it. As far as I know, ATT customers should be able to use the hotspot without having to purchase the service. It seems like flashing this ROM somehow has caused this problem to arise. It's an issue mostly because there are ATT hotspots all over campis, and it's convenient to have my phone automatically connect to them.

Have you contacted ATT about this? Or....
Have you gone back to stock to see if that solves the issue?

Plz help; only able to access the internet via Wi-Fi, can't access using at&t network
Has anyone else had this problem? I can only access the internet using Wi-Fi on my N7A. I can't access the internet using at&t's network even
when the signal strength is showing 5 bars. I've tried accessing the internet using Chrome, FoxFire, etc, I get the following error message:
"You are offline.
try:
- Turning off airplane mode (if it was on I wouldn't be getting Wi-Fi)
- Turning on mobile data or Wi-Fi
- Checking the signal in your area"
My phone is a "new" gen unlocked N730A bought from Best Buy, I had this problem with APH1 and now with the update 2APHE.
I'm running the phone stock (no pseudo-root)
I've done a couple factory resets then tried to access the internet via at&t's network - no joy
I'm really digging my N7 (my second one, sent the first one back due to the recall), but it has limited usefulness if I can only access the
internet when I have a Wi-Fi signal. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Oddly enough I have no problem making or receiving phone calls and I can send and receive text messages over the at&t network.
However I have no internet capability over at&t's network.

You are correct, the problem was an incorrectly set APN. I took the phone to a local AT&T store and
they were able to set the proper APN, now I get great 4G service. Thanks.
