I think this is in the right forum, but if not please move, and accept my apology. This past weekend I switch from Leofroyo to CM6. I also tried intersects new kernel and the new radio. After this I get constant disconnects to all of my Wifi spots. I have sense reflashed the froyo radio and the froyo kernel with both CM6 & Leofroyo and still can not connect to Wifi. Does anyone have any clue as to what might be the problem? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice as it would suck to no longer have wifi capability. Thank you in advanced.
At me after I have established Kang-o-rama 0.9 sp2 and have established a new kernel 2.6.35_AVS-800mV_CFS_20100702_0948 intersectRaven, have ceased to work WiFi and the address, reinstallation of the various insertions does not show mac, different kernels with drivers of positive result have not given, wifi does not work (
Wipe EVERYTHING and reinstall.
And it's not a correct section... This would go to Q&A.

I bought a second-hand G1(no data plan) since I wanted to play with my phone. It ran 1.6 DMD64 stock with the newest radio; and it had WiFi problems.I did some research before purchasing and knew it could be flashed; so I tried flashing it to a modern ROM to see if that would solve the problems. After figuring out it was an American phone(I live in Holland) I managed to root it and flash CM6RC2. I now sometimes have a lot of reception; sometimes not. I tried installing WiFiReEnabler and WifiFixer; WifiFixer made connections overall a bit more stable; but half of the time I still don't have WiFi. I also tried to use my laptop's WiFi for my phone via USB; followed the instructions but failed. My phone managed to get semi-bricked 3 times in that period(stuck at G1 screen), and I tried flashing another ROM too; so I flashed CM 4 times. I'm using a Belkin N1 wireless router; switched channels, security and looked at my keyphrase.
The problems I have with WiFi:
- Not finding my router even though being quite close to it; happened only with 2 of the 5 times I flashed
- Finding my router but not connecting; happened 3 of the 5 times I flashed
- Saying that it's connected but not allowing me to browse; happened all times but WifiFixer occassionally fixes this
I'm still running CM6RC2 with Amon Ra recovery 1.7 on an American phone; my router is a Belkin N1 with firmware version 3.01.04 and hardware F5D8631-4 v3 with WPA-TKIP, broadcast SSID on, channel 4.
Is there a way that allows me to get stable internet on my phone without a data plan?
This could be either a hardware or software issue, not quite sure. Your options are listed below
1. Root and flash to a different more updated rom
2. Flash the newest radio(not sure if it effects wifi signal strength, forgot)
3. Open up the G1 and see if any connectors are loose.
Option 3 is probably out of the question, option 1 and 2 can be done by looknig into the rom bible(sticky) in the G1 dev thread, this will give you threads with new roms, how to install them etc, as well as flashing the new radio(if you have not yet done that)
I already flashed the newest radio, since I tried to install CM6 and in that guide I was instructed to flash the newest radio. I also obviously have installed CM6RC2 which is the newest version of CM.
I did read somewhere that more people had WiFi issues with CM6RC2 or deratives; I'll try running an older version of CM.
Edit: Doesn't work; at least I can't browse when I'm connected. Doing a nandroid restore right now; I'm intending to use Froyo.
In the case that doesn't work, how hard and dangerous would it be to open up my casing and look for those wires? It's second-hand, so warranty would likely not be a problem.
Thanks for answering anyway.
Is it possible that your router is using a different band?
I don't know about Holland, but sometimes different countries allow different wireless bands.
Try changing the channel on your router to something like channel 7 or 11, something varied from the norm.
Well. I found a solution. Connecting my old sitecom wl-167 which has no wireless N support seems to give me no problems.
(Holland has different channels then America, but my G1 was surprisingly already configured for Europe)
Thanks for your help anyway!
P.S. My XDA does seem to have some problems. "No route to host" when trying to post.
Edit: It appears it isn't 100% fixed; WiFi-fixer still solves it right now but it might not be the solution.
Edit 2: Well, WiFi-Fixer is able to fix my problems all of the time for now; but ocasionally I have WiFi for 10 seconds then 10 seconds no WiFi, et cetera.

Edit 3: It isn't threatening to my WiFi anymore. Thanks everyone who tried to help me.
Ive tried with stock 2.3.6, CM7 and CM6 and although the CM roms improved wifi reception by leaps and bounds, my N1 will still not recognize some very necessary wifi SSIDs, namely the one at work. On my laptop, my old phone (Optimus T), and everyone elses smartphones there is no problem connecting at work. The access point is provided by a Fortiwifi 60c server. fortinet.com/products/fortiwifi/60C.html
Has anyone else had this problem or know the right direction for a solution? Wifi at work is a must!
it's not an adhoc network is it?
try moving closer to the source and see if other android phones can see it too
No, the network in question is not an ad-hoc. Yes, as I said in my original post, other smartphones and wireless devices have no problem making this connection.
I flashed and upgraded my phone's baseband radio to the most up-to-date version and my phone still doesn't see the network in question. I'm just about out of ideas.
Radio has nothing to do with WiFi.
Try different kernels.
Make sure that the visible access point isn't Wifi N.
Thanks for the experienced suggestion, thats just what I needed. Is there much risk involved in flashing kernels like there is with radios? Is the process the same, boot into recovery then install zip? Ill do the research myself here in a few hours when Ill have the free time but I'd like your input as well, Jack_R1, since it sounds to me like you know what you're talking about here. I'm hoping that you'll reply before I give this a try.
There is no risk when flashing kernels - in the worst case, if the flash went wrong, you can always boot to recovery and flash again.
The process is the same.
Kernel should be compatible with your type of ROM (AOSP GB/AOSP ICS/CM7/CM9/MIUI/etc).
What's up guys, first of all I've looked up for that problem on the board and none of the topics are helpful.
Well, I've got SGS with CM9 nigtly 2012-05-06 with the IcyGlitch kernel. I've checked different modems and kernels and nothing. The problem is connected with the wifi. However it is only about my router. Somehow my phone and router don't like each other. The wifi speed is really slow, to download something is a miracle, facebook sometimes even doesn't want to log in. The problem started after I installed cm9. I've tried many builds of CM9 and none of them helped. I don't wanna wipe the phone and install another rom, I just want to fix it, if everybody can work without any problems, I also can. My router is D-Link 524. I've tried other cell phones and they work fine with the wifi. Also I've tried other wifi connection like at my university and it works cool.
What can you advise me to do ?
I have had my Captivate for a couple months now and the wifi has been working great without any problems. Today I power it on and try to connect to my wifi home network and it doesnt connect. I knew there was a real problem when I noticed that it is not finding any wifi networks and there are many around here.
My computer and xbox are on my home network and the net works fine so I ruled out a problem with the router.
I tried to use the wps button route and that didnt work.
I also tried to manually input the connection and it gives the the "not in range" message. I did a factory reset and still the same problems.
I have not downloaded any apps or flashed the rom....this just started out of nowhere. My Captivate is rooted and it is stock Eclair 2.1.
I hope you guys can help me with this problem.
Thank you.

If you unroot, does that change the outcome?
Are there any other steps you did on the phone recently?
There is/was a thread in the development section that dealt with this. It had to do with the dhcp file. I had this problem when I was on 2.1 and used the new dhcp file to fix it and it never failed again.
I'll poke around and see if I have it yet on my pc. Failing that I'd suggest upgrading to GB.
Well I'll be....
here is the post

Warning.... Not sure if this is a 2.1 or 2.2 fix. I can't remember that far back! I'd just upgrade if I were you.
Yeah, I would just upgrade to the latest official release from Samsung.
Then re-root on that release.
If the problem persists with out root, you can then contact Samsung or your provider for assistance.
Or it may just fix the issue for you
Hello everyone, since I got my cappy I've been delighted by it, it's an awesome phone, even more so when you get to root and update it, now here's the problem: my wifi keeps acting up. First it was the autenticating loop, now my cappy connects but doesn't send or receive any data. I know it's not my router since I have other wifi enabled devices and they can connect and use the wifi properly. Been trying changing from WPA to WPA 2 and auto, no luck. Been trying setting static IP, no luck. It just... sits there connected and not sending. He worked properly in stock, hence I tried going to stock, and then reflashing, no luck.
I used cyanogen and slim bean, with custom semaphore and cyancore, and different basebands (namely ugkg3, tubjv6, bvjjw2) I hope someone can help me on this since this is the only flaw I've encountered so far with this awesome phone.
Thank everyone in advance, and have a nice day.
EDIT: Forgot to add, when I freshly flash a ROM it works perfectly... Until some time passes (around 4 hrs) or until I attempt to download something higher than 20 mb+. Then the issues start.

Wifi drivers are coming from the kernel, therefor, I'd suggest other kernels. If that doesn't work, try another ROM (like AoCP). If the problem still persists, I'd suggest flashing stock KK4 and starting over.
Hey! Thank you for your suggestions, yeah I've been seeing some improvements using unofficial semaphore so I'm sticking to it right now.
God I love this phone. Haha. Thanks again.
