I have a major problem. I used Action Gadgets to use the wifi tethering ability to tether my tablet to my phone. After disconnecting my tablet from the phone I am no longer able to connect to my home network.
I restored a backup from TWRP thinking this would fix the issue and still no change. So, I was able to tether to the phone, but nothing else anymore. My home router is fine. Everything else connects.
Edit* Solved by rebooting router. Weird.

I have been using both the CM Internet Sharing program and the WMWifiRouter with no issues for over a year now on my AT&T Tilt 2.
One day a couple weeks ago I had been using CM to connect my laptop to the internet. everything was just fine as usual.
At some point, I had disconnected and tried to reconnect, and since then I can no longer use either of these programs.
What happens is this...I turn them on and the phone will no longer hold a connection to the ad-hoc network that is created. Up in the status bar I see the icon showing WiFi trying to connect but it will not stick anymore.
I can connect to my office and/or home wifi router still. It just will not connect to the ad-hoc network any longer.
This makes no sense to me at all, since it has always worked and was even working earlier in the day when it stopped working.
I use the tethering frequently and really need to get this solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I am able to connect using WMWifiRouter using the USB connection option.
Any help? Please?
Hmm...
I had this problem on a stock WinMo 6.1 ROM, I fixed the problem by hitting Advanced in Comm Manager [or go into the WiFi setting in Settings-System] and then connect to an infrastructure point. Comm Manager doesn't like Ad-Hoc points for some reason. Did you try resetting WMWiFiRouter? There's a setting in it for that.
Not that I'm sure any of that will work, I at least got it to connect to normal access points now and make the Ad-Hoc connection, but there's no throughput in the connection and I really don't feel like reinstalling my custom ROM, so I just popped my SIM into my MyTouch. But that doesn't really help you... sorry...
Thanks, but none of that is gonna help.
I have no problem connecting to any normal wi-fi network.
It had no problem connecting to Ad-Hoc for the last year until the other day and NOTHING has changed.
I was using CM Internet Sharing and not WMWifiRouter. I switched back to WM because at least with that I can set it to use USB. But neither program is working with Ad-Hoc now.
I don't even see the setting for infrastructure point. I am not on a stock ROM. I also just realized my signature was old. I'm on a Tilt 2 with a custom Manila ROM.
It's just so weird cause it always worked and suddenly stopped!
Arg!!!!!!
I have an HTC EVO 4G running FreshEvo 4.1.1.0
The WiFi was working fine without a hitch until recently. It seems that since I upgraded to FreshEvo 4.1.1.0 and updated the radios with the patch, that this is when the problem started.
Now, the WiFi connection "locks up" intermittently and I have to reboot my TrendNet TEW-633GR router so that the phone will connect to it again at least for awhile.
The symptoms are: The WiFi connection with my home router will be fine for awhile. Then, it will not work.
I still get an IP address from the router and the WiFi settings says it's connected. But the connection doesn't work until I reboot the router. But the router isn't really the problem because other phones and my laptop can connect to the router even if the HTC cannot.
To the best as I can tell, the WiFi connection on the HTC locks up when:
A) I run the Roku Remote Control app and something unexpected happens like the app does a force close. The Roku Remote app uses Telnet, I believe.
B) I'm connected by WiFi at home, then leave and the phone switches to 3G. When I come back home, the WiFi between my phone and my router is locked up. However, if I connect to WiFi at another location, it works fine at the other location. Also, I can still connect to my home router with WiFi from my laptop or another phone.
Does anyone have this problem too, or a solution?
Thanks

I would have a go at flashing an alternative radio ROM onto the EVO first. This should be pretty simple if you've already changed ROMs and have a custom recovery.
Hi,
I have a problem with my one-x and my home router. (I am running LeeDroid and Bricked kernel but I think this problem exists regardless).
My router has a button on the back, that the first time you pair with it you have to click the button for it to be authorised. I think this is called WPS (wifi protected set-up). With my other devices and housemates' phones, this is clicked once on the first connection, and after that it remembers and connection happens automatically. However with my one X, if I go out of range and then try to reconnect, it fails to connect unless I press the button every time.
The phone connects to other wireless networks fine, such as at work. And the router works fine with other devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Your router isn't a netgear by any chance ?, i have the same problems however when i go out of range for a while and try to come back and reconnect i have to reboot the modem before i can re-establish a connection and nothing else works.
Do you have a WPS button?
My router is provided by Orange, but I think it is a netgear.
I know this doesn't really help but as you mentioned Netgear my WNDR3700 works fine and only needed WPS the first time. (I'm using WPA2 just in case if might help)
Hi,
Since i've had the One X i've had nothing but problems with tethering. I've tried wifi, bluetooth and USB. All seem to suffer from the same problem.
The problem being that the phone will have a working mobile internet connection (I can use the phone to talk to the internet without problem) but my netbook cannot talk to the internet. The problem is definitely not with my netbook or the connectivity between the phone and the netbook as I can ping the phones IP address just fine.
It's almost like when tether is enabled some sort of forwarding or bridging between wifi/bluetooth/usb and mobile internet should be enabled but isn't being.
Then, totally randomly, it will just start working fine.
Sometimes disconnecting mobile internet and reconnecting fixes it. Sometimes enabling airplane mode and then disabling it fixes it. But most of the time I literally have to just wait until the phone decides to start forwarding my packcets to the internet.
I travel by train to/from work and used to tether my HTC Desire using wifi or usb. It would generally be useable for the whole journey except when I lost signal entirely or when the phone switched between Orange and T-Mobile whilst I was in the middle of something.
I guess my main questions are:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone think of a way I can try to debug what's happening?
Does anyone have a possible solution?
Thanks

Try resetting your APN setting back to default. This should fix the issue. You may have to do this everytime at OTA update is applied.
Picked up a new AT&T G3 yesterday. Had no problem getting on my wifi at home. However, I've been unable to get the phone to connect to my work wifi. The phone detects the network, I put in my password, but it just will not connect. I've still got my Galaxy S4, and that phone connects fine. I confirmed that both phones have the same settings, and the G3 will not connect.
I've reset the phone, powered it off and back on, forgot the network and reentered the password, turned wifi of and back on, and still no love.
Any other suggestions before I return the phone?
Restart router? Login to the router and check logs? Wipe router password (no password) then try to connect.
Trying to get that accomplished will be fun. Might just return and stick with my S4.
Mines had the same issue out the box, wouldn't connect to neither mine nor the neighbors WiFi, restarted my router and all has been good...
By restarting the router, do you just mean unplugging it for a minute or two, then plugging it back in? Tried that with the router in issue with and it still won't connect.
I'm having this issue with the wifi networks I have at home. I'll go to the settings, enter my password and it will instantly not connect. However, the NFC tags I have already set up before I had my G3 still work and allow me to connect without issue. Strange. This is on the 16GB D855

Yes. But if router is setup as access point then will be connected to the switch and or firewall. Worth to restart it as well. I recently had this issue with airport express. One way to fix it was change router open(no password) than cannect your phone and then stick the password back.
Just to follow up on this, I was able to gain access to and play with my router settings at work. I changed the network to open without any security, and the phone still would not connect. I then changed the network mode from "b & g mixed mode" to "b only mode" and it immediately connected. Not sure what the difference is, but hopefully our computer guy will let me keep the change.
