Having some trouble with this, if the laptop eventually connects to the hotspot, or can see it, it says no internet and then disconnects repeatedly.
Tried on two different laptops and my Nokia, all the same. Laptops connect to my hotspot fine, so it's not a laptop issue anyway.
Anyone else have this issue?

My Tilt 2 has been connecting to my Linksys router with no issues until yesterday. This was even after I flashed a new ROM. It has been painless until I lost my internet connection with AT&T and had to reboot my modem and my router. Since then I have been unable to connect at all. I have other wireless PC's that are connecting to my router with no problems. I have spent a lot of time going over and over the internet wi-fi settings. The phone is picking up the router, but never connects. I do not have any security running so this should not be it.
Any ideas?
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 All,
I am trying to share my laptops internet connection with my Defy via a virtual miniport adapter(using a program called connectify)...my phone gets connected perfectly and I am able to surf the net on my phone..but only for a short time. After a while if I just let the phone be on standby for a while, it loses the internet connectivity. It remains connected to the hotspot(on my pc) but somehow there is no internet on the phone anymore. However if I turn off the wifi on my Defy and put it back again, the internet is back. I have tried almost everything but nothing seems to work. Initially i thought the problem might be with the connectify software on my system so tried using other softwares such as virtual router intel mywifi technology etc. I even tried to create a virtual wifi miniport manually from the command line but same problem everytime. I tried to change the wifi sleeo policy in my phone to never and that did not help too. I am running stock Froyo on my Defy. Sometimes when I turn off wifi and turn it back on it wont even connect to the access point, keeps showing scanning...connecting...scanning...connecting...then finally disconnected. I just cant understand what is wrong. If someone can throw some light on this...it would be really helpful, its almost 20 days since I am breaking my head over this.
Thanks
this might help
Install connectify and select wifi security mode as Ad-Hoc,WEP,this worked for me the defy sometimes seems to have a problem with WPA2.
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.
I'm having issues with my laptop's internet whenever its using the phone's internet. My phone's using the stock apps on CM10.
Every few mins the internet stops as in DNS requests fail, http requests fail, nothing happens for a minute. The connection between my phone and my laptop is always stable during these hiccups and I get this problem whether I use usb tethering or wifi hotspot. The internet on my phone during these hiccups works fine to.
How do I fix this issue?
