I've just purchased a Nook Color and am waiting for it to arrive. My current Droid REFUSES to join WPA/AES wireless networks, which is what I unfortunately run at home. I've no idea if this a hardware issue with my Droid...so...have any of you had the Nook Color connect and use a WPA/AES network?
PS : No, I can't simply switch my wifi to WPA2 or TKIP. I have a wireless print server that will only use WPA/AES or WEP.

From what I understand the Nook has the same issue, if you are using a Droid X the nook uses almost the same Chipset.
I have the original Droid....I've no idea if the Droid X has the same wifi issue.

if your router supports it change your security settings to wpa/wpa2(it will use both types of security at the same time)
thats what i use on my router and my nook connects fine
if i run into a wpa only network ill test it and report back

I just went through this issue when setting up an old linksys wrt54xxx modem (..the small 4x4" model) for someone last night.
After some trial and error I found that if I set it to WPA/AES only (NOT auto - tkip/aes... the setting was buried pretty deep in the UI) and set it to G-only wifi mode (..not auto b/g/n) I was able to connect flawlessly with both my nook color and my droid x when both couldn't see the network with default settings.
It seems that it is the "auto" features in the router that cause the problem.

Actually it's the NC that the problem. At home, every device (WinXP SP3, macbook, ipod touch, HP DV1000 laptop and a whole host of other wifi devices) works with 802.11n but the NC. I had to set my wifi to 802.11g ONLY.

Which tether app are you using? I've heard of people having problems with Barnacle. You may have to manually specify the broadcast IP in the TetherGPS app. You can either set it to the exact IP of the tablet, or put 255 in the variable part of your IP address (for /24 subnets). So if your tablet's IP is 192.168.1.x, set the broadcast IP to 192.168.1.255.
Edit: BTW, you can see what IP the server is trying to transmit on by checking the notification bar on the server. If an IP doesn't appear, then the phone probably isn't getting GPS signal or GPS isn't enabled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4.0 and it works well although every now and then I will get a TetherGPS FC several minutes after exiting the app.
You are running it on both devices correct? Server on your android phone and client on your gtablet...

It doesn't work with the iphone. You need to have an Android phone. The server runs on the Android phone and the client runs on the Android tablet.
TetherGPS works great on my G-Tablet with TnT Lite v4.4.0 when I connect to my phone using Barnacle Wifi Tether. I haven't been able to get it to work using my home network though.
This is a great application. Thanks!
I've played with this app for a couple weeks. And I just can't get it to work...
Any ideas?

I have a Belkin Wireless N, and I also had the same issue.
I also tried everything that I could, and nothing worked.
I have no idea if this was a coincidence or the actual problem, but my router wifi channel was set to 13. When I changed it to channel 2, my Incredible S connected to wifi instantly.
Strange.

Check out this thread. Seems to be an issue with HTC phones in general - they only work on Wi-Fi channels 1 to 11. It can be fixed, but you have to root the phone to change the system setting that controls it.

Got to test it out with my nook today - it worked great!
its not working for me. My buddy doesn't see it on his Evo 4G wifi.
Just tested it out and it worked great. No 4G in my area until October so I was running You Tube, which blocked here at work, over the tether and it it was really smooth. The app was painless to use, no configuration at all just started it and gave it SU access and off I went. My laptop connected right up.
Nice app/find.

not sure why this app didnt work before...

I believe the reason most phones can't see it is because it creates a Wifi hotspot in Ad-hoc mode and not Infrastructure mode like most Wifi routers do. Android phones cannot connect to an Ad-hoc network, at least I haven't found one that does.
If you connect to this network from a computer you'll usually also see it listed with Ad-hoc mentioned or a different icon of some sort.
I have noticed that Apple's products can connect to an Ad-hoc network. I'm not sure why this limitation exists on Android handsets, it's quite annoying.
Most of the "official" carrier Wifi hotspot's do support Infrastructure mode, so that's why you can connect when using one of those hotspot app's.

It is because in Ad-Hoc mode there is no server assigning it an IP Address like you get with the infrastructure mode found in routers and other devices. You have to make sure that all the devices are configure with matching IP addresses (addresses in the same subnet and class), gateways, and subnets. Ad-hoc is generally a manually configured network where you configure each device. It is what we used to call peer to peer in the old days.
The app listed in this thread works great. Just to check ppl are turning on the wireless radio first? I know its a simple thing but you would be surprised how many times ppl forget that step.
I've been fighting with this app since I got it. I know the problem is with my laptop, but when I had the Inc. i could connect with no problems at all. I see the signal from the phone in my wireless list, just as an adhoc connection. I just can't get my computer to ever connect to it.
I know the error lies somewhere between the keyboard and chair, but if anyone has any ideas on what I should try, plz let me know.
Running. Win7 Ultimate 64bit
Thanks all!
it works!
The first WiFi device I tried to connect was my wife's phone (Samsung Captivate) but her phone would not find WiFi Tether signal.
But my rooted Nook Color did and it works fine.

Interestingly enough, I was able to use this quite well on my Nook Color running CM7 when they had 4g turned on in my area (for one day). After they switched it back off, I have been able to connect, but the data doesn't seem to go.
I don't get the correlation, because I was even able to tether it at work where I only had 3g, but the second they turned 4g off, it wouldn't tether from 3g. Frustrating.
I just want to note I am using it on a 3G connection. They have not activated 4G in my area.
I figured out what was wrong. The problem was that I was authorizing my nook exclusively, and while this works, it doesn't appear to be a permanent solution. You have to redo it occasionally when you reconnect.

having issues with this app, laptop connects and some sites work, speak easy speed test reports very nice speeds, but for whatever reason several sites will only partial load and then timeout. Forum based websites work fine and it seems youtube works also. Not sure why others won't.
I am trying to connect my laptop running Windows Vista Home to my LG revo. I can see the AndroidTether ssid and it is ad hoc. But when trying to connect it just sits there trying then has a message that "connection is taking longer than usual" then it gives a timeout. I can get a connection with my desktop running Vista Ultimate. Anybody know what setting in my Windows laptop that may have to be changed? I setup my wireless adhoc device props to match the LG revo settings. I found a new driver for the wireless network card and it connected just fine...DOH!
Just to mention for some people

Could it be something to do with my router?
Thanks to anyone that try to help
What router is it?
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
If you have a terminal emulator on your phone, you can try to "ping" the router (most likely 192.168.something.1..)
"ping 192.168.1.1" or whatever address the router has...
This is the same address that you'd type in a browser on your PC to configure access the router's config..
And try to ping something on the Internet such as one of Google's DNS server (ping 8.8.8.8)
A few more details might help us help you:
Router brand and model?
Encryption type used (None, WEP, WPA, WPA2..)? ..WPA2 is sometimes downright broken on some router models..
Does your wireless Internet router work for another wireless device?
Does your Internet work from a wired computer on the same router?
Is the router configured for wireless g,n, or mixed? You might need to play with the router configs.

It's a NETGEAR Wireless N Router - WNR2000.
Security: WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
Channel: Auto
All my other devices that I have used the wifi with have worked fine.
This is really annoying, I just can't think of what the problem is..
How many devices are connected to the router at any given time? Try disconnecting another device from wifi and see if that works.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
Yeah when I disconnected my laptop and then connected my DROID3 it worked fine.
What is the solution to allow it for the DROID3 to work?
Your router only allows for a certain amount of connections. You will either have to turn wifi off of one of the devices or get another router.... simple solution would be to turn off wifi one of the devices when you are not using it.

Try changing the security to WPA2 with AES only - I've seen problems with Android phones in the past when both TKIP with WPA and AES with WPA2 are enabled. If you have any old devices that don't use WPA2 (unlikely), then try WPA with TKIP only. See if that fixes it.
If not, and it's a device limit issue, check the DHCP settings on the router to see what the address range is. If it is set to something like 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.xx (whatever number xx is), try extending the range to something larger (though no larger than 254, obviously) and see if that helps.
I tried it a second time and a only got connections every minute or something and it wouldn't last for very long :\
It's not a device limit issue because I have had 2+ devices connected to the wireless before.
I second switching to AES. It is more secure anyway.

Yep. I turned on portable wifi hotspot. Then went in to "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot" and set my password. I left the other setting as they were:
Network SSID: AndroidAP
Security: WPA2 PSK
Disconnected from my home network on my Nook Color and AndroidAP showed up right away. Connected, typed in my password and everything was good. Verified I had data using both the browser and Play Store.
Which Liquid build are you running? The 01/28 build (which is the running I'm running) has a description of "tether fix".
