I dont use wifi a lot, but i recently moved to a place that has bad signal, and so i wanted to connect to my router, when i turn it on it shows other routers but not mine. Which seemed odd to me. I reset the modem and router to see if that would help. But it still doesnt work.
I have the .29 baseband. The newest, i beleive, Would that pose a problem?
If so a radio link that is reliable would be grand!
check the wiki radios are different for everyone so you just have to go through and test them but PLEASE only use the ones on the HERO CDMA WIKI because if u flash a gsm radio by accedent that will garantee a bricked phone.
haha oh in know.. its happened before. a long time a go when i was more nooby.
Hey man can you PM me your personal step bystep instructions on your mod prl update post. I followed them on the op but still didnt work. and like which rom you were using?

I was under the impression the CDMA radio didn't have any affect on WiFi.
idk about if it effects it r not, but i tried 3 or 4 radios and all of the could not detect my router. So i guesss its another issue, ill have to ask and find out
Just an idea, probably a crazy one, but since you see other routers, make sure your router is actually broadcasting your network ID. (I have, at times in the past, turned this off unless I was connecting a new laptop or other device the first time, to keep it hidden from outsiders).

This.
Why do you think it's a problem with your phone if you can see other routers?
Is your router brocasting on the only freqs. that an N router uses which afaik your b/g wireless device(hero) won't see.

Hmm..I've messed with a few router types (I work for a networking company, though I'm definitely no expert), what are you using (make model?) Have you connected other wireless devices (laptop, gaming console, etc) successfully?
Should be pretty easy to get into the web interface (though navigating the options can be confusing as hell) and see if it is:
1. broadcasting your net ID.
2. Running in N only mode (if it is an N router).

Yeah ive had it for a while actually, and ilive with 4 other people and we all can connect to 3, sometimes 4 laptops/desktops. And i beleive, i cant quiet remember, but i think ive connected to it before a long time ago. and i just looked and its a Netgear wirelsess N router
Okay, you should be able to log into it from one of your connected PCs via your browser, the address would either be http://192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
username and password (IF they haven't been changed!) are probably admin/password
Once in there, you should be able to find wireless settings, first thing I would look for is (as was previously suggested by FdxRider) the mode (n only, n + g (and maybe b). If it is set to n only, change it to n + g, or n + g and b. Then see if you phone can see it. If that doesn't work, need to look for the SSID, AND see if you can find a setting that says something like broadcast SSID. You may have to hunt around a bit, but it should be in the wireless settings somewhere. If you change either of those, save the changes then have the phone scan and see if it shows up.
I'm not being too specific about where to find these things because web interfaces change a bit, and each brand has their own hiding places.
If you can't figure out the password to get in, you should be able to reset the router to factory defaults, should be one of those "poke something in here" holes on the router case itself in back...will change the SSID to NETGEAR and admin pass probably to "password"
You might want to update the routers firmware. With netgears you have to go to the website and dl the latest update and save it somewhere on your pc/laptop. Then on the left hand side of the routers page it will say update firwire. Click on that and its an option to browse to were you saved the firmware file to. When you find it just click it and let it do its thing. Then you will have to reset the router by pressing the black pin size button found on the back of the router. Then log back into the routers web page and check to make sure the firmware update took and matches the update you downloaded. Remember never let the router update itself always do it manually. Also never update the firmware while being on wireless always plug in via cat5/cat6. Also its a setting in the routers web page to save your current settings so after you update the firmware you wont have to resetup all of your settings. Just tell the router were to look for your setting file you saved and apply it.

Like the title says my Wifi will not connect to my router at home, but works everywhere else..
I have a Linksys wireless-n router. I put in the password and it automatically says that it is remembered but not in range. Any ideas on how this could have happened? Any possible solutions?
I don't know about the wifi stuff too much, but I have seen reference to people changing from channel 11 (std factory setting) to channel 4 for example. Dunno if that helps. Good luck.

you start with your router's IP address. if you don't know it, go to your command prompt and type "ipconfig" to figure out your router's IP address. Type the IP address into your internet browser to change the channel.
OK I'll try it later on tonight.
Go to google and type "linksys wireless n router change wireless channel" and select the first option you get (should take you to howtogeek.com)
Scroll down past the download it ask you to do and get to where it states Changing your wireless channel. Its pretty easy to do once you walk through that.
Does it only happen on the touchpad, or is it all devices?
It only happens with android (CM7 and CM9), web os is fine.
There has been issues with the wifi. I am running the bricked CM9 install myself and the wifi works just fine. Have you wiped the cache and all during install?
Seems that someone has posted a thread in the touchpad area concerning this same issue, thread will probably be moved once a mod gets a hold of it, but here is a link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494458
ssid
Make sure you are broadcasting your ssid as android devices cannot see hidden networks, so you end up with "not in range" when you try to connect
I got it to work kinda. I have to leave and go out of range, them come back for it to work.
Does WPA2 broadcast the ssid?
There is an app in the Market labeled something like 'WiFi Fix' that 'helps' this issues as well. If I had my TP in front of me I'd get you the exact name, or if the Market would track free apps between devices like Amazon does, but I digress...
I use the word 'help' loosely above because the 'fix' wipes out all your wireless settings. It deletes all the profiles, etc. So after re-entering the keys you'll get right back on the wifi, but this is somewhat painful after every single time it goes to sleep...
Anyway, consider it an option, semi-viable at least.
If you can see your wireless in the list of available networks it is broadcasting the SSID.
I guess I'll just go for a stroll whenever my touchpad needs a restart. thanks for the help.

I'd be going for lots of walks. Mine lasts for less than 5 minutes -- assuming it connects.
For the TouchPad, it seems the only thing that truly works is a wide open connection without authentication or encryption. People have had varying amounts of success, but I cannot get it to connect to my work's WPA2 Enterprise or anything above WPA at my house...
There's a couple of threads going on in the Development forum where they've basically said that Wifi for the TouchPad sucks and is in a major need of (re)working in order to get it right. The current ar6000 driver isn't cutting it and the ath6kl driver + wpa_supplicant are not Android complaint.
Someone has a kang (CherryKANG) with a supposed wifi driver fix, but if you look at what he supposedly built into his ROM vs. what is getting loaded, you can see it's not really there. (The link everyone points to is the new ath6kl driver, but if you look after flashing it's still running ar6000.)
I build a ROM with the ath6kl driver in place and it looked to work better for about 30 seconds. But you can tell it doesn't like to cooperate with Android too well at the moment. Makes me wish I was a hardware expert so I can rewrite the thing and make it work.
I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue since I can boot into WebOS and be find on ANY of the networks I normally connect to...
A few days ago I ran into a problem. My wifi wasn't connected when I turned on my tab 8.9. When I try to connect to my own network, and get into the settings page, the option 'ok' is greyed out. This means that I can only 'cancel', and in that way not connect to my own network anymore. The same thing happens when I try to connect to another network. My device is not rooted, running 3.2, and it is running the most recent firmware. Restarting the device didn't solve it. Any thoughts on this one?
Bump, same problem, or at least similar.
Android Version 3.2
Kernal Version 2.6.36.3 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number HTJ85B
Wireless works on some networks and not others. B G N do not matter, it is random. Still running stock ROM, not rooted. I have tried reseting OS, no luck.
What it does it it finds the network, tries to connect to the network, fails, remembers the network, and the cycle starts over.
Hi guys,
do you get the 'Obtaining IP address' message when connecting? mine does that constantly on some networks, it gets stuck in a loop and simply will not connect. I've found out that this is due to the tab remembering an IP address it used to use and trying to re-use it every time it connects. That is of course not always possible and so it tries - fails - tries etc.
The way to fix this apparently is to delete the dhcp_list file which holds the remembered IP addresses, only issue is that I cannot find that file anywhere. I'm running AOSP Galaxian Soup on mine with motley kernel, my home wifi works ok (probably because the same IP address is available all the time), work wifi doesn't want to work at all.
Maybe one of the devs sees this and can shed a bit more light on whether the solution is correct or not.
Regards,
dsc.
I was eventually able to solve this in a very easy way. for one reason or another the tab only wanted to log in when the password contained a capital, so I changed the WPA preshared key to something that contained a capital and a number and it was working again. very strange, because it had been working perfectly for about two months before this problem occurred. hope this helps.
Hi,
I managed to fix it by selecting static IP. I've seen this suggested a couple of times but when using the tablet in horizontal position I could see the static/dynami selection. Turns out you have to rotate the table to vertical position to see it.
Regards,
dsc.
Thanks for the discussion. my main problem is that i can't set a static at my work network. it will work at home, but i NEED it to work at both, otherwise it does me no good. I will keep banging my head against.
I will check back to see if smarter people come up with a solution, and if i come up with somthing i will post.

This is my problem exactly.
Hi,
not sure if you've seen this (I think the original solution comes from here anyway):
[tried posting an url but it was blocked, try googling:
'Tab cannot get IP address for WiFi problem + recs'
and scroll down to zakaria's post]
Some people suggest trying static, even if it fails it might delete the previously stored IP address that the Tab is trying to connect with and get a new one which should work. What I did was connected to the Wifi with my laptop, checked the IP/DNS details and after slight mods used it on the Tab. I did try setting the static to something roughly correct, connecting and reverting back to dynamic, but it wouldn't have it

dsc.

Have you checked with your work network whether or not it needs ca certificate?
or you could try to download wifi ace (advanced config editor) from the playstore, and set the settings from there
Got a strange WiFi problem after upgrading to Lollipop.
After upgrading to Lollipop I noticed that my WiFi calling said that the service wasn’t available on this network (I’m on Time Warner). Hmmm. Everything worked fine on KitKat. Upon further investigation, I noticed that I couldn’t go to certain websites, others worked fine. Using the stock explorer favorites for example, I could go to CNN, facebook, etc, but not Sprints own Vision site. I have some security cameras and could not go to D-Links website either. Speedtest.net did not work, said network communication problems. Turning off Wifi allowed me to go to any of these sites without issue. Play Store and email work fine.
RUU’d Lollipop just to make sure something funny didn’t happen on the first install. Same results totally stock, not rooted or anything.
RUU’d KitKat. Everything works as it should.
Went through my router’s settings looking for anything funny, all looks good (I’m not a novice at networking). Didn’t expect to find anything though, since it all works fine on KitKat.
From the currently install KitKat (with working WiFi calling and everything else) I took the OTA for Lollipop. WiFi calling stayed working now, but I still can’t go to some websites. It makes no sense. Doesn’t matter if it’s a secure site or not. Some work, some don’t.
Rooted, went into recovery, wiped everything and installed Bad Boyz rom (my daily driver). Back to no WiFi calling again. Obviously not the ROM though since stock RUU acted the same way.
Wife has non-HK M8 still on KitKat and everything is fine with her phone.
While at my mothers house and my phone on Lollipop, everything worked there (WTF??? She’s on Time Warner too). This points back to my routers/network, but yet why is KitKat working on all devices? Different access point to Time Warner’s network? She has an ancient Netgear router, I have two fairly new ones. I have rebooted, and completely powered down my cable modem and router too, made no difference.
Looked at the host file in /system/etc. Don’t know if it would make any difference or not, but it looks fine. Exactly like the KitKat host file.
I have the HK version of this phone btw.
Anybody have any suggestions? Any pertinent info I left out?
I've tested my wifi calling, all is good...only thing I could suggest is backup your router config & factory reset to test

I thought about this too. I actually have two routers, same SSID, different channels, to give me coverage throughout the whole house/yard/shed/etc (and all my configs for everything, routers, cameras, printers, etc are always backed up. I tend to experiment a lot. Comes in handy... lol).
I have a spare router also router. I was going to try it on different SSID and channel and see what happens. Just got tired of messing with it yesterday... lol
Thanks for confirming about the only step left.

I have the same setup. Main router w/ another setup as an ap. Same ssid's diff channels. Sounds like a router issue to me. For me, L actually works better in regards to wif/wifi calling handing off between the two routers as I move thru the house.

Lollipop is currently "Optimizing Apps", going to go see what happens when I use my spare router. Going to leave everything at defaults and see what happens.
Just seems so weird that KitKat works flawlessly (on two different M8's) and lollipop acts strange.
Anywho, I'll know more later this afternoon. I'll post up results in case anyone else has similar issues.
What kind of routers do you have? Are you using 2.4 or 5 Ghz?
Also, I'm using static IPs for most everything. Do you use Static or DHCP?
I have the fios supplied actiontec router set to .1.1 and a linksys set to .1.2
I am using 2.4G
Success !!!
Okay, got it working.
Attached spare router to cable modem and connected to it - Everything works
Disconnect spare router and attached old router - factory reset it - Everything works
Restored my backed up settings to old router - Problems, same as before.
Reset again and re-entered all my settings manually exactly as they were before, and now everything works
Hooked my second router back up, everything still ok :good: walk around switching between routers, all is fine.
I guess it was just "one of those things".
Unfortunately, I have a fairly large network for a home, a 2nd router, 6 desktops, 2 tablets, 5 phones, a TV, 5 IP cameras, 2 printers and 2 network drives. I am picky about things and assign static IP's to them. Entering all that back in took a minute or two.

Hey, I got the same issue... HTC One M8, now on Lollipop and not working properly on my Netgear WiFi anymore. Some apps can't connect to Internet it seems. I think it has to do with OAuth protocol. It works perfectly on other WiFi routers. And also my Google Nexus on Lollipop works fine on my Netgear WiFi. Its just the combination HTC One M8 on Lollipop and my Netgear Router and only for some apps (I suspect those that use OAuth) ... Very weird.
You say you fixed it by resetting your router and manually re-configuring it. Will definitely try that!
I was only hoping for a fix from HTC as I though they messed up the Lollipop build...
Will let you know and if it works, I'll send this post to both Netgear and HTC as a fix procedure...
Thanks!
And indeed... Wow. One of those things huh. Netgear said it was an issue caused by HTC. HTC just said the issue was known and the next patch would fix it... Have patience...
I simply reset my Netgear router to factory settings and manually configured it again.
Wow. Thanks all!
I'll see if I can vent this to Netgear and HTC (although I doubt if I can get past first line of support filters... Oh well. Trying is the least I can do)

PS: I'm getting a software update to 5.0.1 over OTA, how secure is this? What is happen if I lost WiFI connection? Can I break my phone?

Looks like your router is fine from what I see. Make sure the region is set the same as on your phone as this effects what channels are available.
Edit: by the way it's fine to download. You download to a cache and after it is downloaded it is verified then it is flashed. So you don't really have to worry about if it drips connection or what not, it'll just re-download.

So youtube always plays videos fine, but after a video and I go back to the list and pick another video I get this screen (see screenshot) where it says to check my network connection and I have to click retry 1-3 times before it loads the video.
This happens ALL the time. Like 30%-60% of the time I go to click a video. My droid turbo has no problem at all though on the same Wifi network at home sitting on the same couch, about 15-20 feet from a brand new wifi router.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
Interestingly my nexus 5 was doing this too... even after a factory reset. (also had lots of trouble with loosing sync with chromcast when casting and/or taking like 30 seconds to load the youtube interface when I turn the phone screen back on when chromecasing something to rewind some or something) I thought it was just cause my nexus 5 was old. But now that I have a brand new nexus 6 doing the same thing (and a droid turbo that doesnt) it feels like it is a nexus issue... which is crazy right? My pure google nexus phones are the ones that have trouble with youtube and chromecasting?!?
I'm curious... could there be some setting where it is not maintaining the wifi connection all the time to save battery or something? So it has to reconnect. If that were the case I would prefer to not save battery and always stay connected to the network.

I'm not sure. I have an issue that's similar that I've been trying to figure out myself. For me, it's with Netflix and Hulu. I start a movie or show, lock my phone and it disconnects from my chromecast. This, I've narrowed down to only happening while I have Chromecast and my nexus set up on my 5g WiFi. If I reconfigure for 2.4g, it stays connected. ???
Oh wow... if changing to 2.4g might solve I would happily do that. 2.4g can still get at least 10 megabits right? B and G are 2.4ghz right? I will try limiting my wifi router to those right now.

The "age" of the wifi ap has no bearing on the QUALITY of the wifi ap software. The vast majority of wifi ap's are CRAP. Sometimes bad hardware. ALL "off the shelf" wifi ap's have bad software.
I thought it was just cause my nexus 5 was old.

This sounds a LOT like a wifi problem. If you don't mind spending a few bucks, I *can* suggest something for you to try that will probably make the problem go away;
BUY A NEW ROUTER.
But not just any router, you specifically need to pick up a TP-Link with a Qualcomm chipset, that is supported by OpenWRT. TP-Link, yes, is a "cheap" chinese router maker. This is OK though, since they actually use good hardware, which is what matters, and they are actually HELPFUL when it comes to using their hardware for open source software, like OpenWRT.
You can pick up a WDR3600 ($60), WDR4300 ($70), ArcherC5 or ArcherC7 ($130) (making sure it is HW ver.2).
Installing OpenWRT on it is pretty much trivial; you download the openwrt factory image for it, then you plug your network card into the new router (at this point no wan connection), go to its web config interface, find the "firmware update" screen, select the openwrt image, and tell it to do its thing. It will reboot with openwrt when finished. Then you just go through the openwrt web config interface and set everything up the way you need it.
This will either fix it, or you have a bad broadband connection. Most likely fix it.

Start simple and work towards singling out the problem. I know that having the right channels on your WiFi network is a huge problem.

Thanks! Just to be clear... my droid turbo works just fine with my wifi. This is what lead me to believe this issue is with the nexus and not my wifi router. With that in mind do you still think my best bet is a new router?

I received a new app/update from play store today that has resolved my 5g connectivity issues that I was having with Netflix and Hulu.
Hopefully this will solve everyone's issues as well.

You can pick up a WDR3600 ($60), WDR4300 ($70), ArcherC5 or ArcherC7 ($130) (making sure it is HW ver.2).
Installing OpenWRT on it is pretty much trivial; you download the openwrt factory image for it, then you plug your network card into the new router (at this point no wan connection), go to its web config interface, find the "firmware update" screen, select the openwrt image, and tell it to do its thing. It will reboot with openwrt when finished. Then you just go through the openwrt web config interface and set everything up the way you need it.

I went ahead and got a c7v2 just to make sure I have good wifi. What openwrt image should I use. I looked at the hardware table (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start#tp-link) and saw I want ar71xx... but do I want factory or sysupgrade?
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-factory.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
And do I need any packages?
Thanks!
