NM, all fixed
I'm having a problem with my NC and Droid on my AT&T U-Verse WiFi. The Android device will work happily on the WiFi for around a week or so, and then with no warning it will not connect. If I reboot the router the NC will connect fine... During the time my NC can't connect my work laptop will happily connect.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Just got my Nook Color Friday and today this issue started happening. Was working fine and now AT&T Uverse wifi won't let it connect. Laptop can connect fine.
Router is an AT&T provided 2Wire with WPA-TKIP security on Infrastructure type network.
Nook Color has been rooted with Auto-Nooter 3.
If I go cycle power to the AT&T router, it will connect and work for a while.

Hi everyone.. I'm really hoping you can help me with this final issue to get my color nook up and running. I am running a rooted nook (autonooter) with the ad-hoc workaround installed. The machine can find and see the ad-hock network that I setup using my iphone with mywi 4.11.2 (no wpa setup).
The nook attempts to connect to it and gets stuck obtaining the IP address - nothing I have done (reboot, toggle wifi, etc) allows it to connect successfully. I am able to connect other machine (netbook/ipad) to the iphone so I know it is broadcasting/connecting ok... also, I can establish a connection on the nook to other wireless networks.
I'm about at my wits end as this is the final piece I need to get things rolling... any thoughts/ideas, etc?
Thx!!
Never mind... I fixed it by installing the 4.50.6 version of Mywi on the phone.. works like a charm now! Thx!
whether i am using the wireless hotspot that is on the phone or trying to tether it will not connect.
it goes as far as Obtaining IP Address from my phone via the tether. but it never goes further.
both devices are rooted...
anyone have any suggestions on how to get my nook color to connect to my phone...
Well I havent tried hotspot from my EVO yet, but I just tried tether from my phone to my nook and it worked. I am using tether version 3.1-pre108. I cant remember where I got this version from, but I think sprint is blocking tether apks from the market now, so I found it in a thread in the EVO section.
Here are my settings within wifi:
device profile auto
setup method auto
wifi encryption unchecked
change ssid AndroidTether
hide ssid unchecked
change channel 01
dont disable bluetooth unchecked
wifi driver reload checked
Nothing else is checked throughout settings except for disable wake-lock under miscellaneous, that is checked. I can also connect to my latop as well. I hope this helps.
i got it to work, but it looks like it only works when i have 4g. can i not connect to my phone via 3g?
Mine was connected 3g......I dont have 4g in my area.
cool, thanks. i think i figured it out.
appreciate it.
Good evening all !
I recently started experimenting with Android on my Nook Color. The Nook Color is running 1.4.1, I followed all the instructions to run it from my SD Card, which seems to work fine. The problem I have is connecting to my wireless router. I have managed to connect to an unsecured router (A random one that showed up) and it works fine. I have unchecked uPnP, and I have three laptops, Xbox360, PS3, WII, you name it and it connects just fine after entering the password. It is currently WEP. It attempts to obtain an IP address, then says connecting, and starts the process all over again. As I have said, I am running it from an SD Card and it seems fine, except for the wireless. I was able to connect to the Android Market, etc. I was just playing around with it and have discovered this issue. Any ideas out there? I would greatly appreciate any tips. I have restarted the router, even tried clearing it out in the terminal (I found somewhere else, for the airplane mode, the icon shows all the time)............
Nevermind everyone..got it....wrong freaking key..changed while i was deployed
My Chromecast was working flawless on my laptop, tablet, and phone. 3 days later, my phone's wifi doesn't work when Chromecast is connected to my wifi. My tablet and laptop's wifi works fine though. When Chromecast is off, my phone's wifi works fine.
I restarted the router and the problem persists. I haven't changed any settings on my phone.
Anyone know why this is happening?

The only thing I can think of is to make sure your phone isn't trying to connect ad-hoc to your Chromecast (it does this for initial setup). Otherwise make sure there aren't any router settings that conflict between the two devices.
Your issue sounds similar to mine. What I have happening is, whenever I select a video from my phone it will play for a varied amount of time but then stop. I will look at my phone and it is disconnected from my wifi and the icon turns grey. I have to then toggle airplane mode to get it to reconnect. When this happens every device on my network gets kicked off of my network. Now I am running a custom rom on my phone and have data issues throughout the day. So, I don't know if it is because of this or if anyone else is having issues like this.

I have issue with browser, on my pc i set up Chromecast it worked fine but i can not see the chromecast in the browser, can anyone help please?
Thanks
I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.
