I tried updating from froyo build FRF50 to FRF91 and it didn't work. I really didn't care that much about the update cause it really didn't change much for me anyway. Now though my wireless hotspot and tethering aren't working. I'm having to use PDA net but now i can't go into some email sites and check my accounts. With the stock tethering and hotspots i could. I can't seem to figure out whats wrong. I downloaded some other wireless tethering app and checked its error log. These things failed to load (channel, essid, ad-hoc mode, wifi interface, bcm4329.ko module). I tried doing a factory reset and clear cache and everything and it didn't work. I don't know what happened. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Really? Nothing guys?

since updateing to FRF83, wifi tether seems to have been slowed down.
has this been done to keep american networks happy?
Can anyone else verify this? I'll check when I get home... but that would suck.
I just tested it. I can not confirm this issue. My tether speeds are as fast as they always are.
No issues at all here, worked great!
Same here, my WiFi tether speeds are right in line with my N1's 3G speed tests.
well my tether is working but my hotspot is not... >: l
Everything is happy happy joy joy on my end
WiFi Tethering not Changed
No changes have been made to the WiFi tether however your speeds can be hindered by network traffic and a number of other issues. Even a microwave oven near by will interfere with speeds or something as simple as an application checking for updates in the background on your computer.
Best thing, try again at another time or location. It helps to test often to get an idea of the fastest speeds you may see, when and where you got the best results.
I had this problem as well. Here's what I did that fixed it:
Change the security to Open. After that, try to connect to your phone. If you're able to connect, change back to WPA and it should work.
I noticed that the password I set before the update had quotes around it, so I wonder if that was the problem...
I've got an AT&T n1 and I am using it with Vodacom in Tanzania. I'm now running frf83 and internet on my phone works but I am unable to tether. The computer can see the hotspot and connect, but there are DNS problems. My tech friend helped me but he was unable to make it work and concluded that he could ping the internet fine but DNS wouldn't work, not even open DNS. I dunno, anyone have this problem or know a fix? I would be grateful.

I'm using open and it still doesn't work but thanks for your help.
Im stock and on tmobile and its working great for me, hooked my buddy's iphone just now to test it
It does not work with me . i tried on FRF50 work fine but on FRF83 no wifi at all
Does not work for me ether
I even factory reset my phone but wifi tether doesn't work, something to do with DNS.
hi im having problems setting up a wifi hotspot on my n1
before the FRF91 OTA update i had no problems at all, but now after the FRF91 update whenever i turn wifi hotspot on it doesent broadcast the SSID
i already factory reset... still having the problem
any help is appreciated
thanks
Mine broadcast SSID, but nobody is able to connect. Same with USB tethering, I can't use it anymore like a modem.
That's odd...
I'm on FRF91 and just last weekend I used the mobile tethering because the Wifi wasn't working at the party I was at, worked great. Gotta have that Spotify
still doesent work =[
Hi,
I just installed latest radio and spl (2.22.27.08 and 1.33.0013d) as well as COS-DS.
It's working really well except for Tethering and Wireless. Both don't seem to be completely broken though.
I can activate tethering, but on my PC nothing happens (did work perfectly before with CM 6.1).
Wireless can scan for networks, but I just can't connect. It always says it's trying to connect than "not connected" and it just tries again and again. I verified the password several times and it's definitely correct.
Is there anything I need to change/install to get tethering and wireless working?
Thanks in advance!
I just updated to RADIO-2.22.28.25, unfortunately it didn't help :-(
Update: Just tried different things, now tethering is working suddenly.
Still no luck with wireless, what could I try to fix that?
My Nook is having CM7/Phiremod v5.2 and has been connecting to my home wifi with no problems.
Suddenly it can't connect. There is a small question mark on the wifi icon.
It scans and finds the usual networks. Try to connect, it seems to be negotiating, but it doesn't connect. I have tried to re-enter the key, but no success.
Has powered down and restarted several times. No luck.
Ran a "fixing permissions" from Rom Manager (dunno' if it could help, but...). No luck.
Other devices can connect to my home wifi.
Connected the Nook to the wifi access point at my work. No problems, good connection.
Tried to boot Honeycomb of the SD-card. Wifi couldn't connect.
The wifi hardware of the Nook works, but it won't connect to a network that it has been connecting to ever since I got the Nook.
What's going on?
Anybody has a cure?

First off, have you rebooted your AP? Sometimes they go stupid.
Have you tried deleting and reconfiguring the connection? IE: The "Forget" option?
Also, verify that your access point is not using AES encryption for the connection. AES seems problematic. TKIP seems to work okay.
Just stRted happening to today as well.

No reboot yet. The reason is that my home AP is managed by my work, and reboot means all sorts of hassle. So I'll avoid as long as possible. But other devices (my laptop) connects.
Yeah, deleted and reconfigured. No change.
It's using TKIP.
Now I'm doing a backup of the Nook, considers installing Phiremod v5.3.
Maybe that'll change something.
What about deleting some of the caches of the Nook. Anything there?
Same here. Wifi was working until today (4/4). All other devices in my home network are connected without problems.
I have 1.1, rooted with autonooter.
Updated with Phiremod v5.3.
Problem still there
Enter passkey, says "Authenticating" and then the connection to the AP is "Disabled".
In addition Market has disappeared.
Not good.

Ok, connected to another wifi - no problem.
Market popped up. Good.
But it still won't connect to my access point at home. And it worked perfectly until sunday!?
Mindboggling.
Did you try hitting menu while in the WiFi options menu, and going to advanced? You can force the nook to have a static IP and connection information. It might help, you never know.

Haven't tried that. Will do tonight. Thanks.
I did go to Advanced and choose not to let wifi go to sleep. Didn't help.

And you still haven't unplugged it for 30s? Do it.
Happy end, just like the fairy tales
My access point needed a kick in the butt!
Is this a problem specific to Phiremod (5.3), or are people having WiFi issues with the Nook Color in general?
New to Nook Color and to Phiremod. Have everything up and running just fine, but keep getting repeatedly kicked off WiFi every few minutes. Have to disconnect then reconnect. No other devices have issues. I never used the Nook Color stock, so no idea if it's just the device itself.
Router's an up-to-date Netgear WNDR4000, running WPA2-PSK [AES]. WEP or WPA-PSK [TKIP] not an option -- not secure.

Uh, wrong forum?
Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.
