hi folks, im running cm6 with wildmonks 2.6.34.4-925mv cfs svs aix 720p kernel with the 5.08.00.04 korean radio.
my work has a wpa2 aes encrypted wireless network setup. phone sees the network, and even accepts the password, but never gets an IP address. it hangs at obtaining IP address for a few seconds, and then goes to remembered, not connected, and back to obtaining IP address. it will cycle like this if i leave wifi on all day, and it never connects.
thoughts? the IT guy says its the phone... as he hasnt had trouble with other wpa2 spec'd devices. something im doing wrong, or is he wrong, or should i go back to frf to see if that works, or try a different radio?
assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.
By the looks of it, it never actually connects. Double-check that you enter the correct password.
I have WPA2-AES set up at home, and it works fine.
Sounds exactly like the issue I had with the router in my parents house. My phone just didn't get on with that particular router. They upgraded recently and all is well.
pw is good. still wont connect. not sure why. i have no troubles connecting to cisco equipment in other places, and so im not sure thats the issue either. other suggestions?

what rom, kernel, and radio are you using?
WPA2 Enterprise was broken when Froyo hit, currently some of the roms fix it, the latest CM6 fixed it I think (kinda). Other roms are planning to have fixes in the near future.

Enomther's 2.11.3 with its 720p AudioMod kernel, radio 4.06.
One router is Linksys WRT54GL, the other is WRT54G2 (2 places - mine and parents'), both are converted to DD-WRT firmware.
have you tried using the kernel that comes with CM6 to see if it works with that?
figured it out... i had the wrong gateway address entered... d'oh! :-(
good now. thanks for the thoughts on what to try though.
hello.
i have an adhoc with aes security at home.my laptop connects to internet via wireless. but the X1 phone cant.
rom 1.05.931.10

5.in the next page(configure network authentication) every thing is disabled
6.click finish.
7.does not connect
please help me
This is a compilation of threads found on this forum as well as the BN forum. I thought having it in one place will help.
Edit: problem may be BN NC. See last paragraph
The NC is the first device that I have encountered that had intermittent wifi problems. At home, I have a mixture of Macbooks, iPod, a Viewsonic G Tablet running Android 2.2, desktops running Windows 7 and XP using various brands of USB wireless adapters and have NOT had any problems using 802.11n with WPA2/AES encryption.
From other threads: "As always, everything in this guide is completely at your own risk, I am not responsible for you messing up your device further nor am I responsible in the event that your Nook Color explodes and kills your cat, grandma, etc."
Intermittent Wifi Connection:
This is the issue where your Nook connects to Wifi and then after a few minutes the connection goes away. Typically the NC shows wifi as connected or perhaps connected and testing.
There are five variables that can cause intermittent wifi connections:
-your router
-wifi type 802.11b/g/n
-encrytpion
-wifi frequency 2.4ghz/5ghz
-NC ROM
-NC operating system
In many cases, this is due to 802.11n wifi. A digression: Wifi comes in manner flavors; 802.11b, the first standard; 802.11g, the second; 802.11n the latest standard. These flavors have to do with the physical wireless router.
In addition to the hardware, there are variations in encryption of the wifi signal: WEP, WPA, WPA2 with AES or TKIP. WPA2 with AES is the most secure. Look it up on Wiki for more details. And of course the
OS the NC is running.
In many cases, the NC will NOT connect reliably with 802.11n. I have a Dlink DIR-615 V2 wireless router and when set to 802.11n with WPA2 with AES, the NC connects but after a few minutes goes into a state of "testing connection". Setting the router to 802.11g only fixes the problem. An easy test is to go into Youtube and watch a long video. Most likely, half way through, you will loose the connection.
At work, we have a high end multi-access point Meru networking running unencrypted wifi 802.11n and I have this problem. So this may indicate a driver problem with the NC.
The Fix:
Go into your router's wireless. Select manual setup and find 802.11 mode or something to that effect. On my router, I have a choice of "mixed 802.11n, g, b", "802.11n only", "802.11g" only. Selecting 802.11g only with WPA2/AES fixes it for me.
Interestingly the NETGEAR WNR3500L-100NAS 802.11b/g/n seem to operate reliablely with the NC using 802.11n.
One post indicates that settting encryption to TKIP also fixes the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...72&postcount=6
However, using TKIP opens up a hole for hackers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempora...grity_Protocol
One solution on the nookboards and BN forum also suggested turning off 802.11n
http://www.nookboards.com/forum/index.php?topic=5669.0
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...-Problem-quot/m-p/770856/highlight/true#M3295
If you are having problems, the following information will help in diagnosing the problem:
Router brand and model number: eg: Dlink DIR-615
802.11 mode: b, g, n?
SSID visible?
Encryption: no or if yes: WEP, WPA, WPA2 TKIP/AES\
NC Rom: 1.0.1 or 1.1
NC OS:
I will try to update this guide periodically. Moderators: feel free to delete this thread if it is redundant.
Edit:
BN has acknowledged there is a problem with certain routers. From my own experience, there are many more routers that are incompatible with the NC. My assessment is that it's a driver in the BN. I have a Gtablet running 2.2 with no problems.
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...ssed/m-p/1030918/message-uid/1030918#U1030918
From BN Administrator: "In general, wifi issues can continue to be fixed by following the troubleshooting guides posted in the FAQ and in other posts. We *are* continuing to investigate reported wifi issues with certain routers that have had issues reported. At this point, we’ve investigated the Belkin F5D8231-4 and found an issue introduced with Android 2.2. We have a fix that will be included in the next release, but do not have a workaround for users. We are also investigating other routers (including the DLink DL- 624 and Westell 327W), but do not currently have a fix for them.
Please continue to post here if you encounter further problems and NOOK_Engineer and I will work together to investigate further."
EDIT 9/7/2011: After I updated to BN1.3 and then rooted with, wifi connects perfectly with 802.11n both at home and work. Work wifi consists of multi-point 802.11n. Note that this is with Dalingren's froyo 9/1/11 kernel with the BN 1.3 source drop.
Thanks for this! Do you have any ideas about intermittent wifi ONLY when on an Adhoc network from my Droid? I had no wifi issues under Rooted 1.1 but when i went to internal Froyo 0.6.6 it is almost unusable. I have upgraded to 0.6.8 and it is still not working correctly, it keeps loosing the IP or pausing the connection.
Done some digging on this, and the issue is that my NC can see either the G or the N channel from my router, but not both (even with different SSID) when G is at 2.4 and N is at 5Ghz. It will only see N on 2.4 Ghz. bah.
I like the idea of putting it all together as it took me awhile to figure it out.
FYI, my wireless modem is:
D-Link DIR-655
On WPA/WPA2 TKIP
Interestingly, I made a setting change to set the wireless mode to only n & g modes. This stopped my nook from getting any wireless till I changed back to n,g & b. Not exactly sure what this means other than it could a router specific issue but good to keep the info in one place considering it is hard to track.

Not sure of this but if it works with Rooted 1.1 but not Froyo 0.6.6, most likely a Froyo issue.

The wifi chip in the NC WL1271 supports only 2.4ghz. Interestingly the kernel reports the chip as WL1273 which does support 5ghz.
I don't think the original post regarding 802.11n being an issue is correct. We have two access points running 802.11n and have no issues with the Nook Color. I have them set up to operate 802.11n at 2.5 and 5 Ghz. I connect the NC to the 2.4 GHZ radio and use the 5 GHz for my laptops. I am using a Netgear WNDR 3700s.
@jerrykur - Well that explains that. I'm trying to sprint up the learning curve as fast as i can with this wonderful device... sometimes i miss things ;-)
@Zhousibo - I suggest you grab "wifi analyzer" from the market. It's an invaluable tool for tweaking your network. For instance, it lets you see which bands are cluttered and clashing. In my neighborhood everybody (i.e. about 20+ networks) is on the default channels 1 or 6. I can literally watch as one network pops up above the noise and drops out again. In exactly the same spot in the house we have a several dB stronger signal if we move the network to a clear channel. Also bear in mind that the encryption and frequency are two totally different issues. I would vary one at a time and look at what wifi analyzer is telling you - my guess is that only adjusting frequency will affect signal strength and signal drop outs. I would also start with the simplest working setup and add or remove optiosn one at a time, watching what happens to the signal. Once you have that problem fixed, then worry about authentication issues (i seriously doubt this is the problem, i've tried all combinations of authentication on my router and they all work - just go for the most secure!)
BTW1: in wifi analyzer you can view signals as a graph in time which will let you see signal drop outs (i.e. let's you watch what is coming into the machine), combined with fpga_guy's suggested method (watching you tube - so following what is coming out of the other end of the software, so to speak), will let you nail down where the glitch is - in the network or in the machine. Similarly you could ahve two devices whatching the same or different youtube sources, if they both fail at teh same time it is a network or even further down the pipe (e.g. ISP) issue.
BTW2: if you are using VOIP, then QoS in your VOIP box could be responsible for a lot of this depending on how your wired network is structured.
BTW3: I should have explained my motivation behind these posts - I just have not had any problems with dropped connection on the NC (other than all the problems with waking in rooted ecalir) on either G or N networks. I can pretty much move around town from rememebred netweork to remembered network and almost always be connected. I'm actually extremely impressed with how well networking DOES work on this machine, especially in Frroyo. BUT my home network is pretty complex and very busy (media center PC, streaming to at least one device most of the time, multiple PC's wireless printer, wired NAS, etc) so has had a lot of fine tuning... So I'm doubly impressed at the lack of drop-outs given this deployment... hence my advice to eliminate network issues first.
Here is an update on my testing of the NC with various routers. My ipod touch, HP DV1000 laptop running Windows XP connects to every router listed without problems. This indicates either a chip or more likely an implementation problem with BN's driver to the TI wifi chip.
NC (ROM 1.1 with Auto-nooter 3.0.0) works with:
Netgear WNR3500L running 802.11n with DD-WRT WPA2/PSK
DLINk DIR615 runnign 802.11g with WPA2/PSK
Work wireless running 802.11g (router unknown)
NC does NOT work with
Sites with hidden SSID
DLINK DIR615 running 802.11n
Sites using WEP with 128bit encryption
NC connects on boot with sites using WEP 64b encryption - FC after resuming from sleep.
@bonobomidwest
My only thinking is that the NC wifi driver is not as robust with the settings (maybe it is settings, firmware, hardware, not sure).
Interestingly, I spent a bit of time away from my home network which is where I have had no problems since I made the original change (FYI, I recently upgraded from Autonooter 1.1, to Nook Froyo 0.6.7 to NF 0.6.8 and have been stable since the change). I stayed at my folks for a week as am living overseas and they have a Belkin router (can't remember model but I gave them this and was pretty good for it's time). I had issues where the wifi had problems connecting after the screen had timed out so did not use the NC as much as I wanted. I also had problems with the wifi on Galaxy S on this network even though I changed the settings.
I haven't done a scan where I am living now but it should be more than where my folks are due to living in an apartment as opposed to my folks house.
I'm at the stage where my network is not 'broke' so not actively looking to fix it but all my devices NC, Galaxy S, PS3, PSP, etc, are all working now - only the NC has had the most problems with connecting to wifi but have been resolved.
I'm having trouble connecting to an 802.11B (yes B) 11Mbps unencrypted router on the bus I commute to work with. Not sure of the brand or model. Wireless status says I'm connected, but testing. I try to browse the web with Dolphin HD, but I never connect. My iPhone connects to the bus' same router without problem.
However it connects just fine to a Linksys WRT610N v2 (flashed with TomatoUSB) running 2.4Ghz N, 40Mhz bandwidth, WPA2/AES
Running Autonooter 1.1, but given what Zhousibo said in the previous post, I'll try out NF 0.6.8.
Any new ROMs help fix WPA2 connectivity problems?
Just bought my NC and flashed a great Froyo ROM on it.
(The first one I bought had obvious hardware issues, 1bar of wifi signal in the same room as my router. Brought it back same day and had it replaced, immediately better. A known reported issue with some faulty NCs).
Had the same issues with wifi connectivity as described here and everywhere on the net. Essentially, it will connect onto the router with N speeds, but is completely unable to access any internet.
I have a great router (it can broadcast 3 separate SSIDs) but I think it doesn't play nice with the nook. So, it was great up until now =P
Router brand and model number: Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH
802.11 mode: n
SSID visible? yes
Encryption:
SSID1: (WPA+WPA2 mixed TKIP/AES) OR (WPA+TKIP)
SSID2: WPA2+AES
SSID3: WEP (yuck)
The Nook only fully connects to the WPA+TKIP mode (on SSID1) or WEP. The supposed mixed mode setting probably isn't quite as mixed as advertised. The Nook works fine on WEP, but I hate the fact the security is so poor with WEP.
I'd have no problem dropping the SSID1 settings to WPA security, except for the loss of n speeds. Part of the 802.11n specs (has to be WPA2/AES, or NO encryption--not an option). My DVR/home network is on that ssid, so I don't want to lose my n speeds.
So my question is do any other ROMs here help fix the WPA2 connectivity? I know lots of people swear their NC works fine with their WPA2 router, but I suspect their router is just more capable and is switching to WPA-TKIP discreetly.
This is not the same reported problem as having wifi cut off in sleep mode.
EDIT:
Oh, I just realized as a work-around I could put my home network on SSID2, and just the Nook on SSID1.
Get the right router...
Of course I can't speak for others, but my experience with this problem was that this problem was entirely router related. The rooted NC was very slow (to the point of almost unusable on the internet) from my home Netgear WNR834B Wireless N router, regardless of the speed settings, the channel or the security settings. I was able to experience much faster speeds (allowing UTube and Pandora to function properly) at a friend's home (generic Verizon DSL router) and at 2 public wifi locations. As a result I tried another Netgear WPN824 Wireless G Router with the same results as the other Netgear device.
Then I borrowed a couple of Linksys routers from a friend and tried them. The first, an older WRT54GS Wireless G lacking current security standards and then a WRT150N Wireless N. Both worked fine with the NC, allowing full access, with the latter operating at N mixed B, G and N speeds and WPA2 Personal security.
I am very pleased with the results after a few frustrating hours of trying to diagnose the problem. I hope this information is helpful to others. My friend and I will doing some router swapping. I may not tell him about how great the NC is!
Or maybe the NC?

Yep.. no doubt the right router will work with NC. But at home and at work the NC is the only device having problems. I have no luck in convincing my company to swap out 45 routers so my NC can work

I have similar issues. I can't use the internet reliably on my Nook Color or my EVO on my home router unless I'm running WPA+TKIP. I would prefer not to have my router setup this way though because of the security concerns and it not being much harder than WEP to crack.
Guess I'll just stick with WPA2+AES and look for another solution...
just to share some experience that hapenned to me:
In France we have an Internet box (wich is basically a router) that deserve 2 wireless network. One public shared with all user from the same Internet provider and one private for home.
At first my nook only saw the public one (wich is not really fast). The private one was not visible (or just flash in network tools on nook).
After some investigation i change the Wifi canal (from 10 to "automatic"). After that, no to see it and connect (if you forget the nook "special sleep policy")

Please give an update after you exchange your NC. I suspect is the wifi chip drivers and not a bad NC.

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!

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.

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
