Hi, i used to connect my notebook to internet thanks to router wifi of galaxy tab.
Everything worked well.
Two months ago, i went for overcome 1.4 and I had a great improvements on performances.
Now I found router wifi not working because is countinuosly stucking on looking ip address. I don't know if it happened because I changed ROM or other issues.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Restart Tab, Restart Router. Report back after that please.
Tab restarted. Computer restarted. Router wifi restarted.
Tried but same problem: stucking on ip looking.
I also tried tethering but same issue.
Do I need tp install something (like modem from overcome) ?
Thanks.

Did you restart the router fully?
I went to configuration - wireless - router wifi - and i flagged the router wifi option.
I'm not speaking about my router but the router wifi functionality inside the galaxy tab...

As advised restart your router. i.e Unplug router from mains power. Wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.
As suggested. Power cycle all your devices. COLD boot them meaning. SWITCH them off till they are dead router, pc, and GTAB, wait at least 30 seconds. Fire them back on and try again. If you still have issues and you dont connect to Adhoc networks. Consider changing the wpa_supplicant of overcome to one from stock. You can find it in the overcome thread. Search for it.
Thanks for your suggestions but I'm not speaking about the normal router for the computer.
I'm speaking about the router wifi function inside the galaxy tab where you use the galaxy tab as access point wifi for any computer.... this is the router I mean (or access point) that doesn't work.
I think there is something in overcome ROM ... I also tried to setup as open access opint (that means without WPA) but same story.
Do I need to flash something in overcome ?
try a thether apk from marketplace as there are issues
mind you...each country has different galaxy tabs
here in the netherlands there are no restrictions and is all working including the phone and router functions

Even tho you have solved your problem, another device in your house could have the same IP
Hello everyone. I had a problem with my samsung captivate and my netgear wnr 2000 wifi hotspot. When I was using 2.1 eclair, it wasn't able to connect to my home wifi. Even now with me running 2.2, I STILL can't. I tried the all share method. It connected but nothing that requires internet worked. Browser, youtube, etc didn't work even when it said it was connected, and the bars of wifi are showing. Anyone know how to fix it? I am really frustrated with it saying "obtaining IP Address" everytime I'm trying to connect to it. I hate using 3G in my own household. Anyone have that same problem? Any solutions?

You also might want to check your router to see if it has a limit to how many connected devices it can have and also if you have a MAC address block on the router.
Using a password? If so try removing the password (temporarily) just to eliminate one thing out of the equation.
Also, does your router have one of those wps buttons that automatically sync with your device? If so have you tried that?
Another thought... I just glanced though your routers user guide and see an option called "Wireless card access setup". If enabled, this blocks all devices not on the "trusted" list. Make sure it's disabled (or add your phones mac address to the list)
Edit: popfan already covered my last point.

I had this exact problem, where it would just say "Obtaining IP Address" for about 30 seconds then say "Error" or something like that but only for my own wifi. I could connect to other wifi's fine.
Anyways, try deleting "bcm_supp.conf" using Root Explorer, reboot. Then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Menu key -> Advanced and check Use Static IP
Once you have that, open up command prompt on your computer and type in ipconfig /all. Then manually put in the IP you see on your command prompt to the corresponding slots on your phone.
P.S. For IP address, use the IP your router assigned to your phone. You will need to go into your router settings for that.
After that, try connecting again. Voila!
At least that fixed it for me.
Lastly, I'm not sure if these settings affect other password protected networks. Open networks work fine though.
Thanks for all the ideas! Ill keep you guys posted and ill make sure to try all the options. 'Cuz using 3G in your house is stupid

I'm going to try this method as well. You should as well if there happens to be a flaw in my method.

-Edit-
Okay, the method in the linked post works. I recommend using that method intead of mine.
Thanks every one and especially Holmes108. I managed to log into www.routerlogin.net and I added my phone`s MAC address to the list and now my wifi works!

Glad it worked out. Routers can be a pain sometimes.
Yah got that rite
I had to reset my router due to an error: none of my computers or phone could connect to the internet. But after the reset, I no longer had to add the mac address of my phone to the trusted list

I've tried everything what I could find in the web, however nothing helped. What should I do? I'm using CM10, my router's IP is dynamic.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance
Are you on the right channel? Tried restarting browser?

Restart router? Or maybe you have another device on fixed IP (I had similar problem with my iPad ) and router tries to assign this IP to your phone?

Rename your access point name.. I had same problem before, after change access point name in router, i can connect again..

The blame is from router. Once it happened to me. Try restart your router.
try to make it static..
I have had this problem on different ROMs occasionally.
Deleting the saved connection on your Phone, searching for the Network and typing the password again would solve my problem.
But for me the Router Restart or even WiFi off and back on (on the Router) has helped with this issue.
Tried to make it static, tried to restart my router a couple of times even tried to change the access point name in the router but nothing helped. All other android devices I have work normally..
Do you have 2 wifi networks with the same name?
Had this problem when my wifi network name at home had the same name as my gf's network at her house

EDIT:
Problem solved, updated the router's firmware
I have the same problem unfortunately, I'm on DMX 1.5 with KOB kernel, wifi worked flawlessly until yesterday, now it's stucked. I have tried roouter restarting/firmware updating, phone restarting, retype wifi password, but nothing helped. The other devices at home (android and bb) can connect though.
Try to restart your router. Commonly the blame is for router.

Next time turn off your router, wait few seconds and turn it on. It must work... i had the same problem few times. It is caused when your wi-fi router remmember your phone MAC address, and then, your phone is being dissconected without pressing "turn off wi-fi" on your phone. MAC address is still remmembered in your router and it wouldn't accept to remmember the same parameters from your device..

Well after a day, it does it again, I have tried to turn off the router for about 5-10 seconds, but it's the same. Maybe the problem is, the wifi router is a bit far from my room, and it disconnects wifi at a few spots, don't know how could I solve this, don't wanna reflash everyday.
Одг: Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP adress"
How far? What is your singnal strenght?

The router is around 20-25meters away from my room, I usually get one or two bars (sensitivity set to -32dbm), but as I said it disconnects a few times, when I go to my terrace it always connects/disconnects in every 10 seconds. I'm planning to broadcast wifi off my computer, so it doesn't matter, I just don't know if it plays a role in this "obtaining IP address" problem, but I haven't had it before so it must be a ROM/kernel problem, I've reflashed it again with a different kernel, I'll see if it works, as it started with the using of this one (King of Birds kernel).
I have read a topic (can't find it now) that said it's a DHCP problem, and the device remembers the previously used IP's and wants to use that, and I should delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp-list file to get rid of this problem. However, I cannot get into "data" folder with Root Browser (with root permission of course), nor delete the file with Terminal Emulator, so I couldn't try it. Sorry if I wrote anything stupid, as I'm not into most of these technical things. Thanks for your help.
I can connect and use wifi at home so I know my wifi will work on my phone. But at school if I try to connect it connects then immediately turns off wifi on the phone. I have an Xperia TL running on AT&T. Does anyone know what I can do?
Re: [Q] WIFI connections
We need more info about the network you want to connect to. First step is to select the right settings and password for the network.

I know I am entering the correct password. It is a Cisco wireless access point and it uses WEP security. I have connected numerous phones and other devices to this network. This is the first time I have had trouble connecting.
I have solved my own problem. I did a repair using PC Companion and everything works as it should now.
I lose regular my wifi connection
And get an verification error. Then after resetting the router. It will work for a few days. Its a huawei hn220. I also use another router on it as acces point. To improve my wifi signal in the house. Its a belkin. On that wifi i dont have a problem.
Thats why i use 2 wifi logins.
So is there a solution on this verfication? Other equipment doesnt have that problem. To connect with the wifi.

If it is solved by reseting router, I do not think it is phone problem.
