Hello everyone!
I just received a X1 from Rogers yesterday as my previous phone got busted and this was available as one of their replacements. It's a lot to take in but i'm getting along the path of modding this and flashing it. My current issue though is with the WiFi. I am trying to connect to my home network but it's not seeing it. It finds my neighbors which is puzzling. Another oddity is that my iPod touch and laptop can easily see the router and are able to login once the password is put through. Other people who have come over in the past are able to get on as well.
Any idea why this might be happening?
The router is a Linksys WRT160Nv2 if that helps any.
Thanks in advance!
Find Wifi Power Mode，Switch it to Best performance.
My router is wrt300n v2 and my phone is atom v,I have same problem
Anyone else's nook have really slow/sporadic wifi? Mine seems to burst, then come to a crawl and sometimes not do anything at all. The dropbox app is basically useless as it fails to download 99% of the time. The browsers are all slow too. I have wireless N and a 16Mbit connection at home so it's not my internet. My Evo downloads and runs 100x faster than my nook, on 3G.
I'm not having any issues.
None of those issues here on home wifi or tether to Evo. Dropbox is one of my newest fav programs and hasnt stopped an in progress DL once..
I am not seeing any sort of weird "slowness", but I will say that Opera Mobile is, **by far**, the best browser for this device in terms of performance.
yeah it does the same for me. reboot it. it works well on that for while, and sometimes turning wifi off, then back on will help.

Yes this happens to me, more often I would like and there are times when it just seems to stop but the wifi is at full bars (what ever they are called). I have noticed that when I check the wifi in the Nook settings the wifi will say "connected-testing", this means it is not connecting, it "sees" the signal but no data is being transfered, turning it on and off usually does the trick. When it says "connected to the internet", data is being transfered.
I too have ridiculously slow network connections. It is almost useless in some apps. But browser seems to be okay.
Can you guys that are having this issue post your Wifi settings and Router models perhaps there is a commonality on this,
Personally I have had no trouble out of mine, Using Wireless N, WPA2, off a Netgear WNDR 3400
I have been experiencing the slow wifi also. Downloading apps from Market is like 1KB/sec.
Running Nookie 0.6.7 from SD card (class 4). Using WPA2 AES.
I'm having slow wifi problems on a new Class 10 (supposedly) froyo install as well.
Not just wifi, too. It seems to go off to lala-land for a few seconds when I try to do much of anything. Scrolling and things like that still respond, but the apps themselves freeze.
Ok, so that is Two people using Froyo having the wifi problem? what rom are you other guys using?
I have not had this problem and I'm Running Rooted 1.1
Perhaps this is a issue with the Froyo build?
My nook was rooted on 1.0 and I'm running stock 2.1 android and I'm having the same problems

My nook's connection is unbearably slow on my home connection, which is wireless b/g with WPA PSK. If connect anywhere else (except for a Border yesterday) it does not have this problem.
Also have the "connection testing" problem. I am returning mine to Best Buy - will advise.
ROM 1.0.1 problem not as bad
ROM 1.1.0 problem unacceptable...
Both rooted...
Yes, it's definitely only a froyo issue with me. My rooted 1.1 stock rom is zip-zip-zippy.
I've tried froyo installs four times (both the std and mod versions) on a Class 4 and a Class 10 card. All had wifi issues and general sluggishness. And yet I see people saying froyo is quick. Hmmm....

This is a hardware problem. I had the identical symptom - tried all sorts of apps (softlocker, etc...)
Just returned by exchanging my NC at Best Buy and the problems are gone. I am at 1.1 with Monster Pack 0.7.
The offending NC serial no is 2010 110 0650xxxx
The good NC serial no is 2010 110 1509xxxx
So make sure the SN of the replacement unit is higher!
I've had this problem since the day I bought my nook.
A couple of things I've found...
1) The problem is with how the nook handles wifi. My college wifi is a piece of crap, and everything has problems connecting. Nook won't/can't establish a reliable connection.
2) I have no problems with wifi using DeeperBlue's HoneyComb. Hell, HC can get a better signal than my notebook. If I can get that to install market, I'll just run that off the sdcard. Battery life seems better there too.
3) If you get internet at B&N, then it's not a hardware problem. Every Nook of any kind has the same problems that i'm having.(on this network)
a couple of solutions I found.
1) Connectify. Nook doesn't really like it, but it works better than no intertubes.
2) Reboot the wifi. It works sometimes.
3) pray?
I've been having odd wifi problems with my NC, and I'm at my end with this.
My NC is stock, unrooted v.1.1. I can boot from one of two Nookie Froyo SD cards (one with an OC kernel, another vanilla).
Quite simply, the Android side will no longer connect to the internet, Marketplace, etc. The B&N stock side does just fine.
The Android side worked briefly -- out-of-the-box, I connected it to an open network and got on the Marketplace, whereupon it locked up on me. I put it away, and didn't pick it up until yesterday, at which time I found that no matter which SD card I used, there's nothing doing on wireless networking. While Android finds and connects to open or secured networks, I can't bring up a webpage, go to email, check the Market, you name it.
I don't think this is a hardware issue given that the Stock side can get online (albeit slowly at times). What the eff is going on with my Android side? Should I start over and build up *yet another* card? What can I do to diagnose and solve this?
I'm willing to return this NC, but I don't see the point if I'm somehow doing something to "break" the wireless connectivity in installing apps and pushing files and customizing the install (and whatever else) in creating my Nookie Froyo cards.
Any tips or suggested resources are greatly appreciated!
I had the same problem with Stock, Rooted with Autonooter, and Froyo boot from sd card. I changed the settings on my router to WEP security from AES and now have no problems with it.

On the unit that I exchanged, I had problems with both secured (WPA2) and unsecured (Wifi N). The exchange seemed to fix it...
I'm running Cm7 nightly 19 and my wifi is acting funny. Its stays connected but after a while I don't get internet and the only way to solve it is to turn it wifi off and on again.
Did anyone face this? How do you work around it?
Have you tried turning the WIFI sleep policy to never sleep?
WIFI Settings>Advanced>WIFI Sleep Policy>Never
Ya but it didn't help!
i was having issues but builds 17+ have been much much better.
no fix that i'm aware of. you could try switching your security settings on the router.
I have seen this and have determined that it could be related to router type and or brand.
See this post.

I was having connection issues with 802.1x at one point - it would show it was connecting then just drop. I fixed it by replacing the wifi folder in /etc/.
Steps:
download the the wifi folder from dl.dropbox.com/u/3220557/wifi.zip
Unzip and Place it on your SD card.
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /etc/, select "mount R/W' and rename the current 'wifi' file 'wifiOLD or whatever you like.
Next, copy the new 'wifi' folder off your sd card and paste in /etc/.
Reboot the nook.
Hope this helps.

what exactly are you replacing with that new wifi folder? did this help others?
I've had problems with a friends nook and my router (mine, same CM7 build, works fine). I'd recommend trying what mndev12 said first, and if that doesn't work try turning off all encryption/security on your router and see if it still happens. From what I can gather here on the forums is that some people are having problems with different security configs.
This might help.
I had the same issue with my NC using a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. I solved this issue by turning Wireless N off. I set mine to BG only. Works flawlessly. Hope this helps.
Another suggestion to folks with Wifi and router issues. Make sure your router has current/updated firmware running on it. I know we all get in the habbit of setting them up and just leaving them but the mfgs do in fact push out firmware updates from time to time that can and do make a world of difference in cases like these, specially on older routers

Did you get this issue resolved? If so, I am curious as to how... having similar issues myself. Have played with security settings on router and have tried disabling 'n'... but still seemed to have the connection issues... going to borrow and try a different router altogether tonight or tomorrow.
Good suggestion will2live. I haven't updated mine since I set it up. However I think it is a driver issue with the TI chip we have, not a router issue.

so are youll trying to say that this isnt the issue of cm7?i dont think so...i never had such problems with the stock rom..
Im seeing the same thing - running the encore version and my wifi is all open - drops a bit or takes a while to connect? anyone else?
I loaded the most recent version of CM7 and am having issues with the Nook not finding any WiFi. It worked fine for about 12 hours, but now won't find any access points. I have tried turning off WiFi and back on several times as well as rebooting.
Any ideas on how to get the WiFi to see access points?
Try a clean install? My wifi works pretty well ( I sometimes have to turn off and let it shill for 30 sec) on Phiremod 6.1 (cm7.0.2)

I have had serious wifi headaches myself (with both 7.0.0 and 7.0.2). I have tried each about a dozen times, wiping, different versions of CWM recovery, tried nightlies and always the same. Wifi will connect, I'll start downloading something, and then it will disconnect at some point (may be a minute, may be 3 or 4). Turning wifi on and off brings it back to life but only momentarily. Have no issues with Nookie Froyo or stock. I did try connecting to WEP (other than my usual WPA2) but could only do this by tethering to my phone. It seemed to have fewer disconnects but I did still have issues there. Plus, resorting to tethering or a less secure network is also obviously not really a solution. Really hoping a pattern can be discovered to diagnose this issue because its becoming a deal breaker for me. This issue aside, LOVE the ROM.
This continued 'dropping and reconnecting' to my WPA/2 has been driving me nuts and I found the holy grail for my problem to share.
During the course of troubleshooting I:
1. updated router firmware
2. changed security from wep to wpa to wpa2
3. hard coded the nook mac address to enabled, even though there was no block setup.....
4. YadaYada.... pullin my frickin hair out then the moment of calrity
When I observed 'connected devices to my wireless I noticed that all other devices in da house had typical host names like laptop1, server1 whatever and the host name for the nook when attempting to connect was, and I quote
'android-873iurhfier98734598'
or in other words a dash with a huge random number/letter sequence that showed up as funky 'alien' ascii characters to the router.
So the fix was:
goto settings
goto applications
goto development
goto device hostname
dropdown to edit and backspace(erase) the dash-----bull****
I ended up with a host name of android
went back to wifi settings, forgot and reconnected and BAM
Done deal.
Hope this helps some of you who are having wifi problems.......
I believe this is related to certain wireless routers being unable to translate the characters into something other then gibberish ascii characters it believes its seeing????
whatever I dont care anymore....
didnt fix it for me....
**edit**
spoke too soon. worked for about 5 minutes and then i was back at the same boat

Hmmmm,
I have a belkin N1 wireless router and did update to the latest firmware. I did change several settings during the course of getting my issue resolved as follows:
Radio = 11g
Bandwidth = 20Mhz+40Mhz-auto
QOS = OFF
Authentication = WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK
Encryption = TKIP+AES
obscure PSK = OFF
hopefully these will help..............

I had issues with cm7.0.2/3 stables and phiremod 6.2, .29 kernels until I stumbled on my fix. However this also works well for me with the 2.6.32, beta 3.1.
FYI, I have been running all of these off SD, my emmc is 1.01 rooted and very stable.
Dude, you are a lifesaver. I've been running into this problem frequently and it's sort of a kiss of death for WiFi when it happens and I have to re-do the whole CM7 SD Card. It's working perfectly now though after I just had a card fixed pretty much perfectly.
Thanks for posting this...
I didn't have any connection-disconnection type WiFi problems, but I went ahead and shortened the name to just android. What it fixed for me is the YouTube on Phiremod 6.3. Previously, any clip would stop with an error message. The progress bar of loading the clip ahead of the video playback was moving slowly at the beginning, but then jumping to the very end, and when the playback was at the "jumping point", it was giving me an error. Now, after this "fix", the bar moves along slowly all the way to the end, and video never stops with an error. Even if the playback catches up with the bar, it just pauses and waits for more to be loaded (mainly for HQ clips, occasionally).
Thanks again for this "unexpected" YouTube fix
FYI, I'm no longer able to get WiFi on the 108 Nightly. I tried this sequence again and haven't had any luck. Looks like a full wipe/install again.
EDIT: Just turned off the "Network Notification" and it's working fine again. Strange, but it keeps me from having to wipe AND my WiFi is working again. I hope that helps someone else.
Well since everyone is posting what worked for them, I figure I might as well too
I started getting this problem yesterday, never had it in the week up till then.
Problem started when I changed did a factory reset on my Belkin router (yes I know Belkin sucks) and changed the security to WEP (I know, I know, WEP sucks too) so that we could connect to XBox Live with an ancient xbox receiver thing (xbox was hardwired in our old apartment, and I'm not buying a new xbox just for freaking built in wifi it should have had in the first place lol).
Enough in the way of background. Suffice to say, I was having the wifi drop issue on my nook, but the xbox, wii, and two laptops were fine.
Last night I tried flashing back to stable CM7, n108, n106, and n85. No go. Also tried the honeycomb port from SDK 11. No go.
I changed the device name in applications -> development to "android" and turned off notifications when there was an available wifi hotspot. Still no go.
Changed about every wifi my POS Belkin had, still didn't work.
I flashed back to stock 1.2 with no root and no CWM, and wifi was still turning on and off.
I did two things since then and one of two things fixed it; not 100% sure which.
1. This morning I downloaded the software for my router from Belkin and reloaded it. Before I could test it, I had to rush off to work.
2. At work I rerooted, reinstalled CWM, and loaded n110, and when I got home IT WORKED!
Seems most likely to me that reloading the router software is what did it, although it may be n110 that did it.
So anyway, for everyone who is as desperate as I was last night, here's two more things to try.
Here was my fix to my issues

I'm not sure if this has been meantioned or not.......I have NO problems when tethering from my phone. Its only when connected to my router. Also I ran a couple of shows from Netflix to see if it would hold a connection from the router. Both shows ran perfect. But as soon as I tried searching on the browser it stopped working. I can then at that point wait it out or disconnect and reconnect. But again it works flawlessly tethering from my tbolt using wireless tether.

I can say this forum helped tremendously. Editing the Nook hostname fixed my WIFI issues. I have a Linksys WRT610N V1 with WPA2-Personal TKIP/ASIP with no issues now. All I did was make this change... Excellent connectivity now.
This is THE most frustrating issue that remains (for me) using the NC . I've tried most everything here at home to get a stable continuous connection, and end up failing.
Took it into work yesterday & sniffed out an open wifi WAP there, showed only one bar, yet it connected & played Netflix,Pandora, etc flawlessly.
well, just now reset my router (TP-Link wr1043N) & upgraded it's FW, and it is now allowing Netflix streaming. Holding breath, fingers crossed, etc

Well at least you know it's a router issue, hopefully you'll have the same experience as me, perfect connectivity ever since the firmware reload here.

agreed. NC is charging now, but hoping that this issue is over for good. Thanks for the idea to look at the FW as a solution
Strange. I was using build 120 with my router with no issues, then after a few days it stopped working and would not reconnect even after a reboot. Forgetting the connection and recreating it didn't work either. However making the connection not use AES worked.

Hello mates, this is my first time ever posting on the forums, so feel free to call me a newb
So here's my problem. I have been using [JZO54K]_android_4.1.2_v5_oficial_stock_rom on my samsung I9000 for a while and was quite satisfied with how it was working, but I always had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the moment when a picture is taken. So I decided it's maybe time to try out CM 10.1 (i usually stay away from CMs because i had problems with it freezing or being slow or rebooting without me doing anything on it) hoping it would be a good and smooth experience. So I followed the thread and the instructions precisely (it's not my first time flashing a rom, by any stretch of the imagination). Everything went well, signed in with my google account, google play started restoring my account to the phone, installing the apps and so on and suddenly it stopped. The wifi icon turned from blue to gray, which i know means that it's not getting a connection. So i reset my router, connected to the secondary router in my home and still a gray icon. All my computers in the home work fine, so it's not an internet connection problem. My data plan is out of mb's, so that's noot gonna be an option for me.
So, then i tried opening the browser on the phone, keeps trying to connect, doesn't get anywhere. So i decided to go back to my original rom and guess what? I have the same exact problem. So i tried flashing and reflashing both for a few times, got tired of it. Tried factory reset from the phone's menu, tried clearing everything, all caches, dalvik cache, nothing worked. So i'm stuck with a phone with no internet connection over wifi.
If anyone else had this problem, please help. Obvious stuff will not help me, as I know my way around the block, not that new to this. But i have already tried all the stuff you would get on a google search (like checking if sync is on or opening youtube and all that other stuff)
Thanks in advance, in the mean time, i will be flashing the stock rom with odin and gradually upgrade back up to probably elite's rom.
I've also added a screenshot with my baseband and all that info

So i have just flashed 2.3.6 using ODIN, having the same problem. Will connect to wifi, all internet applications can't get a connection. (and yes, i did check the date and time, in case someone was wondering)
So i have managed to figure out and solve the problem. it wasn't actually an issue from the phone. i tethered another device and managed to get a connection with wifi. it was an actual issue with the way my routers are set up. i have a main router that broadcasts a certain DHCP which is connected to another router that just acts as a bridge. the main router broadcasts in an ip range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 and the secodary router (which i connect to using my phone) that acts as a bridge, usually, if it were not configured to act as a bridge, it would broadcast in ip addresses ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.199; both routers broadcast a different SSID, btw. so the main idea is that, any device that would get an internet connection in the house should have an ip address in the format of 192.168.0.xxx, and this is where the interesting part comes in.
after flashing and reflashing a few times, i started looking into the settings for the wifi on the phone and noticed that it was picking up an ip address of 192.168.1.66. the possible explanation would be that the main router might have stopped broadcasting the DHCP to the secondary one, and the secodary one decided to give it an ip address, hence the 192.168.1.66. but this still doesn't explain why even after reflashing the phone a few times, it still kept the same ip address, which is not suppose to happen, and even if i tried to connect directly to the main routers' SSID, it would still give an ip address of 192.168.1.66.
anyway, managed to get it working, finally decided to go back to elite's rom (after benchmarking on CM10.1, i noticed i get lower scores than what i would get on elite's). and i wasn't suppose to hard reset the phone, i was suppose to hard reset the routers, change the SSIDs on both which is easier and faster to do that anything on a phone.
I don't think that this would apply to anyone else, i guess it was just a freak accident in my home, but hey, if you ever get problems like the one i had, you might want to look into your routers as well
