I was having problem connecting to my Wi-Fi using CM7 RC1 & nightly's 1-3. I have a D-Link 655 using WPA/WPA2 PSK encryption. It would get stuck in a loop: scanning... connecting... disconnecting.... However, it would tether to my HTC Hero using WEP encryption and to open networks.
I googled and saw that others had similar issues with CM7 and tried some of their solutions (reboot router, set Nook Color Wi-Fi to never sleep) but it didn't work for me.
I went back to Cicada's Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 after each CM7 install because Wi-Fi was working great for me. I did some digging into 0.6.8 zip file and noticed that it has a "scripts" folder in "/system/etc/wifi/softap/" that is not in CM7 also there is an extra file called "tiwlan_drv.ko" in "/system/etc/wifi/" that is not in CM7.
I pushed the entire "wifi" folder from 0.6.8 to CM7 Nightly 3, did a chmod 644 on the individual files rebooted and I was able to connect to my wireless network. I am not really sure what worked specifically but I thought that I would share in case someone was having similar issues or could possibly explain what is going on.
I am really enjoying CM7 and I am grateful to everyone on XDA and to the CM guys for their hard work.

Can you post a copy of that folder here so others can try it with out having to find rom to pull it from.
Same, please - would like to give it a try. Had only two fields to fill in on a EAP/MSCHAPv2 university network on stock rooted (username and pass), but lots more options and not working on CM7.
Well I've had no problem at all on multipel networks configurations, with CM7, and actually find it to be much more reliable than other installs. I have literally tried every possible config and they all work.
It doesn't make much sense for encryption to be responsible for the behavior your report (making and dropping connections).
1. Have you checked the network itself - e.g. use wifi analyzer, and look at the signal strength. You may be using a network that is in a crowded band, and adjacent devices may be trying to shout over each other (though the NC seems to generally be able to shout over my celphone). For instance, in my neighborhood almost everybody is on the default channels 1 and 6, which really cuts the range and signal strength of my wifi. Honestly you won't believe the improvement by switching to an empty channel.
2. Is you work network broadcasting over multiple channels? This is typical but it does mean that as you move around the building you will drop briefly as you switch from one router to another with the same SSID on different channels.
3. Have you installed any additional software that might be fighting with the system. For instance set CPU is now redundant - as the same functionality is built into CM7 and it will fight with the system if you install it. So you haven't installed any unecessary wpa_supplicant fixes, right? Or a profile manager? And you are not using a task killer, right?
I used a task killer last night and for the first time had problems with file explert connecting. After reinstall it started to work again. This was the only time I have had any problems with wifi.

I've tried several different builds of Nook Froyo (SD/EMMC), Stock Nook Color 1.01/1.1.0 & deeper-blue's Honeycomb v01 and they all worked with my wireless connection. Laptop also works.
I will do a fresh install of a CM7 build (wiping system, cache, data), reboot and the first thing I try to do is connect to Wi-Fi and It would get stuck in at: scanning... connecting... disconnecting.... I've tried to login numerous times making sure the password is correct and nothing.
After giving up I would do a fresh install of Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and try to access my Wi-Fi and it connects on the first try. As I said, I am not sure why coping the wifi folder works but it works.
Disregard my post, moving to another area of campus made it connect smooth as butter.
I have installed phiremod nook V3 to my nc, everything is ok,
except for the wifi connection.
My nc can't connect to any hotspot even my iphone 4
but it can connect to my router (linksys 54-TM the setting is G not mix mode).
I want to try it but I don't know how to copy the wifi folder you provided to my nook.
Is it the script like that:
adb push ??? /system/etc/
How about the script for chmod 644?
thx a lot!
I have neither Wi-Fi, not USB working now
I have exactly the same issue with the nightly build 8 (2011-02-27) when connecting to my D-Link DIR-655 with WPA2 encryption. My Nook with CM7 would not connect in a meter from a router. I have other wireless devices, like PSP, Cruz Reader, Acer netbook, etc. and all of them work just fine, likewise the same Nook with the original firmware. On the top of that now Nook does not connect via USB to neither XP nor Window 7, which was also working fine with the stock firmware. I followed the instructions from the wiki.
Add one more nook to the wifi problem list. I've tried every encryption method and can't get my nook to connect. The only way I could connect was in "Open" and thats not an option.
Add me to the list as well. I just installed CM7 nightly 12 and I can not connect to my network. It worked prior to installing CM7, ie. rooted stock on the Nook.
I am also running the Dlink DIR-655 and WPA2 encryption as my main router. I also have an Asus working as a repeater using the same SSID but with all other settings the same.
I rebooted the router and repeater and the nook and I wiped and reinstalled CM7. Nothing worked and that didn't work. I get the scanning, connecting, disconnected loop. Without a connection, I really can't do much so I'm going to have to find another rom.
Thanks for this thread. I was trying to figure out why Nookie Froyo and HCv4 worked for me, but not Phiremod...then I realized that Phiremod is CM7 based. I really liked the look of it, but I never REALLY got to try it out because of the stupid wi-fi issue.
The odd part is at my school, the network is "open." I'll have to try this out and post my results...At first I thought it was the WPA_supplicant file that was all messed up and I was gonna push a different one from Nookie but I got too frustrated.
Switching to tkip-only encryption worked. There seems to be an issue with aes encryption and cm7 (on build 13 now).
-via Nook Color.
Pushing all the files worked for me. Don't push softap...you don't need to...
Just push the tiwlan_drv.ko, tiwlan.ini, and wpa_supplicant.conf files. You should be golden.

Are you still having trouble connecting to your iPhone? I am using mywi on it and trying to tether using mywi kills my NC 's wifi completely for all wifi networks.
I am not sure what it was on my DIR-655 but i set it to B & G only and it solved the connection issues for me. I am not sure if it is the encryption our CM7 NC's are having issue with or the Wireless N.
Was on CM7 12 and now on CM7 13. Been having problems with wifi all along. Thanks for this post. Will try when I get back today
Having same issue with Wireless N
I too was having issues with CM7 and not connecting to my D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N network (WP2 with AES).
I have already gone back to stock then autonooter 3.0... but that left me with very low usb transfer speeds (0.5 or less kb).
I will have to try this fix out.
Thanks for the post!

How did you push the file to your nook? Cwr and install zip? If not, how would you install it? The change from aes encryption to tkip encryption worked for now but I would love to be able to get on aes Encryption if possible. Thanks

Another one with the DIR-655/WPA2 issue running with CM7. Anytime I enable N then I loose the wireless connection. Setting the DIR-655 to G makes everything connect.
On another network I run WPA2 on a Cisco e2000 and that connects without issue on N. The combination of DIR-655-WPA2-Wireless N seems to be the issue

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!
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.

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.

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
Hello,
I got the 2.2.1 SuperBled Rom installed on my G1.
Since a few days i cannot use the connection over WiFi.
after turning it on it finds all the access points around and also builds up a connection to my router. i get an ip from my router and everything seems fine.
but i cant use that connection, nothing is working, no market, nothing through the browser, no mails etc. the connection is displayed as connected all the time.
i have not changed any settings on the phone nor on the router.
it worked fine before. it also doesnt work with any other access points like at my uni or friends place.
i can still use the internet through mobile networks.
any suggestions what the problem might be ?
thanks in advance
cheers
I am having the exact same issue but a Rooted Nexus S with CyberGR v10.
