This is the first phone I've ever owned that I've had an issue connecting to this type of WiFi network. I configured all of the settings correctly when adding the network (including telling it not to verify the certificate, since I don't have one installed): PEAP, MSCHAPv2, don't verify cert, identity, anon identity, and password. I am certain the password is correct, because the RADIUS server is responding with an ACCEPT message. However, the phone just immediately disconnects. After a few tries, it just shows "saved" under the SSID name, and doesn't try again. It never gets to the "obtaining IP address" stage of the connection.
Has anyone else had this issue? It will connect to a PSK SSID just fine. My Galaxy S7 Edge, as well as every other Android phone I've owned back to the HTC Evo will connect to this same SSID just fine.
yes i do, i have that issue at work

Have you read any other threads about it? Is there a fix? I know that there is a verizon build that supposedly improves WiFi connectivity, but I really don't want to install that on my (google store) Pixel XL. I didn't read anything about it specifically fixing this issue, anyway.

absolutely nothing...
I'm having problems with 5ghz connections. 2.4ghz works fine. It connects fine but on 5ghz I get slow downloads and connection interruptions. $800.00 phone should connect to everything.
No issues here connecting to my work WPA2 enterprise wifi
I connect to my office WPA2 Enterprise but it is slow as could be on my Pixel XL. My N6 it's super fast so something is going on.

Just as an update... I sideloaded the OTA - NDE63P and it did not fix my slowness issue running on my office WPA2 network.
In case anyone was curious about the OTA and sideloading - https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Mine works, but our office network requires an identity and password. No server certs or anon Ident. So far, I have not had an issue.

Hey guys, I've activated the Froyo Sense wifi hotspot feature, and while my XP laptop can easily see the network and connect, it can't actually receive any data. I've checked the HSPDA on the phone and it's fine; but trying to view a website on my laptop in Firefox when connected just does work, it just keeps saying 'looking for', e.g. 'looking for google.co.uk'. I'm on T-mobile UK in case that's relevant.
Does anyone else have any issues?
Make sure that you have DHCP enabled and also automatic DNS detection. For me (Vista laptop, phone on Vodafone NL) it works fine.
And it may also be that T-Mob is somehow detecting what you are trying & then blocking it...
In the end I ran Windowx Xp network diag repair and that finally seemed to fix it. Weird, never had any issues with any other hotspots I've tried using! Very strange, although I did notice the IP address Froyo gave my laptop was exactly the same that my normal router serves up, maybe this was the issue and Windows just got a bit confused, poor thing...
An issue I am having is:
I will connect my phone to wifi it will connect fine and tell me I am connected.
I could then later on go into the market and try download something I will have wifi bars but the item will pause download. I then come back out to check if my wifi is still connected and it will say authenticating but doesnt change so I then turn the wifi off and back on. It connects again this time when I go back into the market to download something it works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
Hey guys still having this issue where my wifi looks like its connected but when i go to settings->wireless&networks-> wifi status will say authenticating with wifi.
It only happens me in my house with my router which is a zyxel router doesn't seem to happen in my parents house.
Is there anything I can do to stop this as its really annoying?

Try changing the authentication type of your router's settings. And if you use MAC security for your wifi, you can disable it.

How do I change the authentication type?

Well it depends on your router but generally it's under Wireless->Security settings. Mine is with WPA-Personal authentication and TKIP algorithm.
Ok just to update this I have resolved the issue of my zyxel router by changing the security type from wpa-psk to wep.
Wep isnt as secure as wpa-psk but it suites consoles and portable devices better. Since I have changed I havnt been disconnected from the wireless.
I would say that your router has a problem with wpa authentication, I wouldn't recommend a wep authentication. If your wifi signal can be detected from the road where you live I could hack into it in about 10min and many other people plus there a custom antennas that can be made to detect signals and get better range etc.
I recommend you get a better router, something from netgear or belkin would do the job to keep your wifi safe and use wpa+wpa2 together with tkip+aes encryption.
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?
I've done some searching, googling and posting but wanted to see if this is my isolated defective Note2 or other people have this problem.
I am on a rooted Note2 using the Toolkit after getting my phone yesterday
I cannot connect to a hidden SSID with a netgeare router.
The phone connects fine but when I turn off the SSID broadcast it says "not in range" right before my eyes.
Just wondering if anyone else with a Sprint phone has this issue. I've seen it mention with a few other android models but not here yet.
Normally that's an issue with your device not being compatible with the router.
In your case, this doesn't hold true. You probably need to manually enter your SSID and passphrase with your router not broadcasting. It's just a quirk that happens sometimes when you setup WiFi and shut off broadcasting.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I messed around with Sprint Optimization and Wifi Locations settings while trying to get Wireless Tethering to work and tried connecting again.
It seems to work now.
Thanks:good:
My WiFi will connect and then almost immediately disconnect on my home wifi only. Anywhere else, the WiFi works perfectly. I contacted my internet provider and they're sending someone out to "look at it". Before I keep this appointment, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has a fix; I doubt they'll fix it. I recently upgraded my router and modem, this is when the issue started. I've got the same issue on my Nexus 6P. My wife does not have this issue on her Pixel 3, and any other device connected to the WiFi seems to work just fine - this leads me to its a device issue not a router issue. Any help will be appreciated. To reiterate and still it up shortly: my Pixel 2 WiFi works everywhere except home and at home every other device works fine. I'm on the most current Google update stock not rooted.

Are you hiding your SSID or is it broadcasting? What wifi security protocol are you using? Try WPA2 + PSK. Does this happen on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies? Which router do you have (make/model)? What does the log say in the router? Usually under admin and (usually) configurable to log wifi connections.

I am using wpa2+psk, it happens on both 2.4 and 5, I have the Spectrum Wave 2 - RAC2V1K Askey (Spectrum's provided router). I posted a screenshot of the recent part of the log because I'll admit, though I am seeing patterns in the log I am not sure how to separate the good from the bad.
