[Q] wifi connection problem - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi...before anyone say anything first, I had my wifi problem whenever there is blackout in our area, then I cannot connect to wifi but my sisters can connect they use iphone and laptop. whenever I will connect it shows " obtaining IP address" then it will be disabled and it will say disconnected and I cannot connect to my cousins wifi too but I can connect to my work's wifi...I already factory reset it many times but now I'm having problems with that too...please help me...

Try rebooting the Wi-Fi access point your trying to connect to, I have to do that to my Buffalo Wi-Fi router from time to time and then the phone will connect OK. Its worth a try.

WIFI connection

Does anybody know why mi tilt doesn't connect to any wifi connection ?
What happens after you try to connect?
it connects to the wifi network, but non of the programs connect to the internet, for example IE says that "the page cannot be found, check the name an try again" and that's with any page.
Wifi no-connect with USB activesync turned on
With activesync via USB running, I see my WiFi is connected but cannot connect to IE pages. I think activesync creates its own network connection to the HTC. When I dosconnect the USB, everything is OK again...
it dosen't work without the activesync either
Do you get this error when connecting to ANY WiFi point, or just the one in your house/work/whatever?
I get the error when I try to connect to whatever with the wifi connection
Yeah I am having the same problem.
did you try setting your wifi power mode to best performance?
It's set to the best performance
and still noting
i have the same problem, but i discovered that works sometimes.... i dont know if its a Wireless N interference or something like that... i have a Wireless N at home, and i cant connect to any hotspot detected at home (more than 5), but when i go to a coffee store, there i connect smoothly.... its strange.... at home doesn't ask for a password when the router is set to WPA2 or WPA....
does anyone know why this happens ?
change radios
Install another radio. My stock tilt would not connect to any wifi. I tried another rom and then it worked without any issues whatsoever. Make sure you use full power setting.

Is your Wireless N running a mix of B/G/N? Or is it running N mode only?
If its the latter, the Kaiser can only connect to B/G mode.

Wifi Problem - Plz Help!!!

Hey...
I have tried to connect to the internet by Wi-Fi, but i can't get connection to the internet. When I try to connect to my network it says "Connecting to network", but the connection then fails. Plz help!! I have tried everything i could think of!!!
(Sorry for my bad english)
if the crypt is correctly set and the password is set correctly
I would update the firmware on the router many manufacturers fix bugs and improve compatibility
Yes this happened to me once and it turned out I hadn't set up my network properly. (I think the problem was I had two devices both trying to act as routers!)
Could it be something else?? Cuz wireless works on all the stationary and laptops in the house... Maybe something wrong with the device?
of cause it could be
but
wifi devices such as phones and my ipod touch was the only devices which suffered in my case desktops and laptops would still work
updating the firmware helped a lot but still every now and then I have to unplug the wifi router for 10sec and reconnect for them to get access
Just tried to connect to another network... It worked fine!!
So the problem must be something with the router as you say
I think i'm gonna reset the router, and then se what happens...
Thx for the help Rudegar

Can see wireless network, but not connecting

I am running CyanogenMod 7.1, and am experiencing problems with the Wi-Fi connection recently. I have been able to connect to my router fine in the past.
Currently when I turn on Wi-Fi it will show "scanning" and show the network that I would like to connect to. I have entered the correct WPA2 key but it does not connect automatically. If I press on the network and choose "Connect", nothing happens.
I have been able to use other wireless networks, and this one in particular has worked in the past. This seems to be an issue between the phone and router, but I have no idea what could be causing it. Other computers are able to connect to this network fine.
Also, when I deliberately enter the wrong password and attempt to connect, nothing happens. I do not receive an error about having the wrong password.
Any ideas as to what might be happening?
Thanks

Help: WIFI not connecting at all: solved

Specifically, my D-Link Wireless N 150 Router
I was able to get by the opening screen by connecting with my neighbor's open wifi.
With my own, I input the correct password, and it showed "Connecting" for 3 seconds, then just ignores it and says "Saved"
This is frustrating, as my laptop and HTC Desire S works perfectly fine. What can I do? I even reset the router to have no password, and it still doesn't work. It stops trying to connect and just says "Saved"
sigh.. nothing I try works.
So now my laptop is connected to my WIFI
my phone is connect to internet via USB to my laptop
and my Nexus 7 is connected to the hotspot created by my phone -_____-
The only WIFI it won't connect to is my own. This is ridiculous
What security settings are you using, encoding on your access point.
I tested a lot of access points at the house and have not had issues with any of them.

Also, have you just simply rebooted your router. Since it connects to others without issue.
Even though your laptop connects, it already had that connection. And the router may not want to give out another address via dhcp.. Just try unplugging router, and plugging it back in and then reconnect. Stupid as it sounds.

I had a similar issue, mine would tether to my phone but not connect to my home wifi. It would show as "connecting" then would say "saved". I hit the reset button on my router and it connected with no problem after that, might want to give that a shot and see if it works. The rest button on my router was on the back and needed a paperclip to push it.
Try WPS if you have it.
Ok, disregard this thread, I'm a fool :silly:
Even after disabling the password I still couldn't connect. While I was showering just now, I remembered why:
2 months ago my neighbors were stealing my WIFI.. so i specifically only allowed the IP of my laptop and phone.
No wonder why it could not connect at all even without password
Sorry for the new thread guys. Just got my Nexus 7 for a few hours, and it's perfect. The left side of the screen is raised a little, but I can ignore it just fine. The screen has no dead pixels and I'm happy with it.
Thanks all!
Good to know it was something simple. Might want to change the OP subject to Solved.

wireless stops working when I connect RAZR-i to laptop

Has anyone else observed the following?
When I connect my new RAZR-i to my Windows7 laptop, my wireless session dies and I cannot connect anymore until I disconnect my RAZR-i.
If I am connected to the internet via a LANL line/cable, connecting my phone also kills the connection but after a few seconds I am connected again (w/o having to disconnect the RAZR-i).

I'm having quite similar wifi troubles with mine phone too and so far only happens with my university wi-fi haven't had the same problem anywhere else.
My problem is when ever i try to connect to the wifi at uni after I manually put my details to connect and when its saved the signal instantly drops down to nothing and my phone tries to connect forever.
It keeps saying connecting but when I forget the wifi network the wifi signal is jumps up back to perfect. My laptop and other android devices connect fine but with this phone as soon as i connect I lose wifi signal.
I don't have wifi at home but tried it with a friends wifi and it just connects fine.
maybe its because the razr gets recognized as a Network device? Had a similar problem while using a UMTS stick. always had to reboot my laptop to get a connection again with the UMTS stick.
How can I tell my laptop that the Razr isn't a network device?

In Win7 you connect your Razr and go to the Network settings where you see all your network adapters. There you have to right click on the razr modem and deactivate it. (Not 100% sure, can't test right now)
