I think you need reconfigure your wireless router. you can search this case in Internet.
perhaps you can check the DHCP least time?
the lease that 'never expires' might be the problem:

is your router running in mixed mode? my router was running in bgn mixed mode and none of my android devices connect. when I switched the router to 802.11g only or 802.11n only, all of the android devices connect again.
No my router is only running as g mode because i bought it long time ago about nearly 5-6 years ago so it does not have n mode, my problem is that my arc does not totally incompartible with my router ,sometime it suddently work then i can browse the web and surf the internet with my arc then i try to reconnect it in order to check if it is fixed then it is disconnect again. I feel really upset with my phone ,sorry about my english
Not sure where shall I post my question. Can't find an answer but decided not to create a new post when a wi-fi problem one already exists.
I am trying to connect to WI-Fi in my office but it's WEP encrypted with password.
I got the password to connect to it and everything is working fine apart from internet use. I am connected to wi-fi but with local access only. Can't update email, browse the web or anything like it.
Is it because the Xperia Arc S does not support WEP encryption? Or because I'm doing something wrong?

I do know that Android in general doesn't like WEP.
So in this case the only way to resolve the issue is to ask my company IT guy to change encryption, isnt it?
Are there any applications which could help with the problem or is it some kind of other issue and nothing can be done?

I am using WEP here at home, with no problems at all. I use my Xperia Arc and have an HTC HD Mini running Android from the SD card, both connect via WEP flawlessly.
If you can only view 'local' pages only, it could be that your company use a Proxy Server to filter the webpages you can access while at work. It could also be that the settings for the DNS server are incorrect.
Depending how easily your IT department can be bribed... It may be worth stocking up on beers?
it is not web or wpa the problem is the phone,but sometime i dont know why my phone suddenly work with my PLANET modem, because i used to leave the ARC with wifi on all day at my home sometime it can connect to the internet just like normal.like zombie turn back to life .i found that when i hear the notification ring tone when i receive new gmail at my phone ,so when i hear that tone i know that my phone work with my wifi.when i try to disconnect and reconnect at that time,i cant access to the internet anymore
I have the same issue with my Arc and Neo, and now Tablet S. Seems to be an intrinsic problem of Android. For Arc and Neo, they both worked fine with firmware 2.3.2, and refused to work after upgrade to 2.3.3. Now a further upgrade to 2.3.4 does not help.
Any inspiration? I searched the max possible I could for a solution with the Almighty Google God and tried days after nights to set/reset router/phone/Tablet, and play with settings. No hope. Strange thing to notice:
1/ Can connect for a while, and then drop for no reason. AND, will reconnect after an unknown time ticks;
2/ Cannot have all three SE/S things wifi connecting together to the same router (Mine: Buffalo). Only one at a time. Yet my other NBs/IPad/IPod are still working flawlessly.
3/ All three can connect to certain make of routers: e.g., free wifi in airport/cafe.
So what exactly is happening?
hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
I have a LG G4 (LG-HG11) running Android 6.0 and I have been getting “Internet Not Available” error message everything I connect to my Wifi at home, as well as the Wifi at my parents place. Both Wifis has WPA2 PSK security password settings. I am able to connect to WiFi networks (Local College, MTA subway stations, Library, Work) that requires a two tier login i.e. connect to the wifi, then log in using the web browser. The only exception has been an apple wifi at my in laws - I was able to connect there. The Wifi works in Safe Mode.
Here are the things I’ve tried to no avail:
Forget the network
Turn off the phone and reset the phone
Tried 3 different routers (I even brought a new one)
Used a different cable modem
Unplugged/restart the router
Hard reset the router
Unplugged/restart the modem
I’ve factory reset the phone which seems to do the trick but the same issue has come back three times now. All of the apps I have installed appear to be legitimate apps and all of the other devices I have at home (laptops, tablets (android and apple) as well as Iphones all connect to the network just fine.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Note:
I dont usually post these but this is one real problem.
Ever since after updating to Android 6.0 / Sense 7 via official OTA i am unable to connect to my office WiFi.
It detects, and accepts the password for the wifi connection but gets stuck at authentication.
NOW before you jump your guns, I AM ABLE TO CONNECT AND USE wifi at my home flawlessly.
So a little experiment i did was revert my OS back to lollipop and voila wifi works in my office and i am able to connect and use.
So this means there is no problem with my office connection or my phone.
The problem lies in somewhere in the Android 6.0 OS and the way it handles corporate wifi.
Office Wifi Info:
Routers are EnGenius and Wifi is managed by pfSense / Free Radius server.
Anyone...please any suggestions or know how to resolve this issue please help.
Hello, I am the "proud" owner of a Sony Bravia Android TV with all its perks... running over the fact that I cannot connect a bluetooth headset now I am coming here with a question: native VPN seems to be blocked as option in the Android TV. I would need an alternative as I want to connect to a remote network where I have a multimedia source. In the remote network I have an ASUS RT-N56U on which I have set up a PPTP VPN server.
Does anybody knows any alternative to connect with my android TV to this VPN?
Thanks!
As I know, you can only use OpenVPN protocol on Android TV.
yep, but this doesn't help me in my situation...
my workaraound for the moment: I have reactivated my Android stick which allows PPTP VPN...
Hi folks,
I've got my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE (Global Version) two weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it. There is only one problem:
I can't share my Data Connection via Bluetooth! ..
Neither with my car and its bluetooth speakerphone, nor with my Smartwatch, I can't get managed to share the connection.
So the Bluetooth connection itself is up and running without any problems! Only the data connection is not shared. The car shows me no signal (general network), and the SmartWatch does not get a connection to the Internet.
I looked up the Tutorial here in the old en.miui-Thread but I don't get the "Enable Internet Access"-Button in the paired Device Menu (part#6/7 in the Tutorial). I've activated the Bluetooth Tethering mentioned in part#5..
Is there any other way to share my Smartphone Connection via Bluetooth to paired Devices?
I've re-paired the devices multiple times. I also have done a factory Reset with Phone and SmartWatch. The problem occured with original Global Rom, and still occures with latest xiaomi.EU Rom.
Hope you can help me..
Best Regards
Some news: Occasionally it works. Sometimes I can access the Internet with my Smartwatch, which is connected to my smartphone via Bluetooth. But really rather rarely. And even without me changing anything. I don't even touch the smartphone yet, and suddenly I have Internet access on the Smartwatch, 2 minutes later but then again no more. Damn weird.
EDIT: Solved it! You have to set every Priority for the Wear OS Notifications in the App Manager to "High" and allow everything for this App.. Now I have continous Data Connection via my SmartWatch, Problems are gone
