Hi,
I'm having problems connecting to WiFi APs that have hidden APs. I've tried manually adding the network but it keeps showing them as out of range. Once I unhide the SSIDs, I'm able to connect successfully, but after hiding again, it shows them as out of range. I've tried 2 APs (TP-LINK and ASUS) and both have the same problem.
Device is a stock HTC One X on Android 4.2.2 (latest I think) and is freshly factory reset.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've searched several threads, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Both devices definitely 100% rooted with superuser working fine, permissions granted for all apps.
I installed wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk on the phone.
Device Profile: Evo 4G
Setup-Method: Initially I tried Softap (master). That's the same as infrastructure mode, correct?
Default SSID (AndroidTether)
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
If I attempt to run it with these settings, I get a popup informing me the wifi hotspot started, but with errors. The log just says most of the wifi steps failed, I can post details if needed. I don't think it's really running - no upload/download indicator showing at the bottom of the app. My PC can't see the hotspot.
If I switch Setup-Method to Ad-hoc, it runs fine, no errors, PC can see it and connect to it. But KF can't connect to Ad-hoc... so lame.
So, I got ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk for the kindle fire, to switch it to ad-hoc mode. Went to settings, told it to connect to AndroidTether. Switched to Ad-Hoc mode. It says "attempting to connect" ... after a minute it gives up and keeps retrying. The hotspot shows in the list of wifi networks, but it's hanging at "Obtaining IP address".
So, what's the issue? Infrastructure mode not working? Need to flash a custom rom? I read something about maybe needing a non-stock kernel? Upgrade or downgrade my radio?
I finally found a method that works, barely.
Wifi Tether (app listed above) failed.
Adhoc Switcher failed.
Wifi Hotspot Widget failed.
Elixir2's hotspot widget failed (connected but no surf).
The one that worked is free and doesn't even need root apparently: Foxfi.
I say it "barely" worked because even this has issues.
When I tried to create a password, it wouldn't connect.
But if I leave the password blank (no password) it does work.
http://foxfi.com/bin/
I just told it to start running, and left the SSID at the default (FoxFi98 I believe).
So, here it goes.
My goal is to connect to a network using certain MAC address. Wanted network is marked with "open" and I know that it allows access only to certain devices (according to MAC) on which the administrator have gave a permission to. Once your MAC passes the verification, device gets connected to the network and then I'm asked to enter username and password through WEB browser (well known for me, because it is a procedure that I do on my other device, as well as all my colleagues do).
For example, I was allowed to provide one personal MAC address to administrator to connect to this network. I would like to set the MAC address of my other personal device and set it on my I9195 so that I can access the same network.
So, what have I done so far: I9195 is rooted, it has Android 4.2.2 on it and Busybox installed. I have changed MAC on it using following apps: MacChanger (blue WIFI logo), MAC Address Ghost (green ghost logo), using Android Terminal Emulator commands and via MAC Spoofer (black circle with green text logo). What can I conclude: As soon as superuser has granted the access to these apps, all of them manage to change the MAC. I've done the verification using Terminal Emulator. I also have to add that the MAC remains original if viewed from WIFI advanced menu BUT this shouldn't be an issue because:
1.) Colleague of mine is using his S4 (rooted etc.), while using MAC Address Ghost that does not change the original address (viewed from WIFI advanced menu) but he manages to make a spoof (verified from the Android Terminal Emulator, as all of this apps actually do) and he manages to connect without any problems in the same way as I connect with another device that I have!
2.) I had time to make a small test at home which put a light on the idea that the problem should be focused on the Samsung (and not on the router, especially because I am unable to modify anything on the router on this facility, not even restarting it). My home network works in a similar way as the network that we are discussing about. My S4 Mini has been included in it with his original MAC and it connects to the network without any problems. My other device is also included to the network using its MAC (the one that I am using for spoofing). My other device is turned OFF, router has been reset and I am normally accessing the network with S4 Mini. Then I run the MAC Address Ghost to spoof the MAC on my S4 Mini. In that moment, I have lost the connection that I had which means that the MAC spoofer actually did something. I tried to reconnect to the network but then I am asked to enter the password for my network. I have checked and re-checked it many times, tried to forget the network and doing it all over again but it does not accept the CORRECT password. Changing my MAC back to the original one connects S4 Mini back to the network, while accepting the password immediately.
Problem is represented in a way that it either says “saved” and does not connect to the network or every few times displays a message “Authentication error occurred”.
I have tried I would say every possibility that I’ve seen over the internet. That includes:
1.) Installing WiFi Connection Manager (it provided some info regarding the network that I wish to connect to: IEEE 802.11g standard, 54 Mb link and CH:11). I’ve used its function to fix the WIFI (advanced fix (root required)) but it didn’t help.
2.) All sorts of staying close to the rooter, while enabling and disabling the Power save mode (accessed via *#0011# command) or while having GSM signal.
3.) Browsing through system, data etc. folders to try to find the file that contains the MAC address information (like it did on older android versions in the nvram file). I’ve been unable to find this file or any sort of file that displays my MAC for the purpose to modify it.
I have a plan to upgrade Android to version 4.4.2 later today and make a test.
Please, feel free to suggest anything else! If I do not succeed, I will have to replace my S4 Mini with something else.
Kind regards,
QUICK REPLY: After installing CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2, the problem remains!
I think there could be a shorter solution! On Sony Xperia Acro S with 4.1.2 Android it was just a matter of changing the MAC address within the file data/etc/wifi/fw! One minute modification...
So, please, if somebody knows the path to the file that contains MAC on CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2 or on Android 4.2.2, PLEASE HELP!
Kind regards!
Have searched the forum without luck. I'm running latest purenexus/elementalx w/afwall+ and xprivacy (basically same setup as I had on 5.1.1), but ever since marshmallow android reports that wlan isn't connected (although it is after I made a connection manually). So if I toggle wifi it won't connect automatically (it will only when I turn off the screen). Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
SOLVED
(Had to grant internet access to the system in afwall+ once)
Hey all, ive been having issues with my SGH-i747m, I had the app Unified Remote (connects to my local PC over wifi) working fine until i (Kingo ROOT) rooted the phone to install a firewall (AFWall+ , Droidwall , and a few others). After installing I now get no ping response from the PC end, and i have an older galaxy s1 that replys to pings and works with unified remote.
Assuming the root or firewall apps broke something, I then installed TWRP recovery Formatted the data partition and flashed CM 12.1.. but the problem remains, no internal LAN pings or connections.. really strange..
TLDR:
-Started on OEM 4.4.2
-root or firewall apk killed LAN connectivity
-Formatting Data in TWRP and upgrading to CM 12.1 did not fix the connection
Do i need to format more partitions to get wifi LAN? or maybe odin? thanks
I suggest flashing a stock ROM, perform a factory reset in stock recovery, flash TWRP, and then root by flashing supersu from TWRP.
Oh ok, so before trying CyanogenMod i did try restoring the phone through settings>security>reset phone option, not through recovery though, i assume these are different things?
thanks!
ok using this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ddm.iptools
running a traceroute to my pc i get an infinite loop of the phones own internal ip, with a 0.2ms
my working phone stops at 1 hop with the correct ip of my pc @ 3ms
i understand what this means, i just have no idea what to modify / reset to fix this
FIXED - http://superuser.com/questions/701956/android-devices-dont-know-route-to-a-host-located-in-the-same-network
i considered my router being the issue, i was about to reset its settings, when i checked my DHCP client reservation settings, somehow there was a bunch of new very strange entries, so i deleted all the unknown entries and the phones are all pinging now
i assume the router got a bit messed up when i was fiddling with adding a DDWRT router repeater
thanks for bearing with me
Hi,
as titled , my LG G4 won't connect to my TPLink wifi extender (RE210) while other devices do. It gets stuck in obtaining IP address and gives up...
I have the latest upgrade installed. It used to work before.
Have tried everything, rebooting router, upgrading firmware of extender, deleting wifi paswords on G4, etc.. and no go.
It wont allow me to assign a static IP address either.
Have also tired using Lollipop DHCP client in Developper Options.
I am wondering if it has to do with the latest firmware (V20g)
IT DOES CONNECT HOWEVER DIRECTLY TO THE WIFI ROUTER...
Any ideas? Thanks
