[Q] Wi-Fi problem

Over the past few days my phone hasn't been wanting to connect to my wi-fi. I would have to turn wi-fi on and off several times before it would connect. Today it just stopped connecting all together. It now shows my network but says its "out of range" I'm withing 10 ft so I know it's not. Earlier today it would just say scanning and then disabled under the network name. Anyone know why it would not be working at all? Also I have a ps3 hooked up wireless and it works fine so I know it's not the router.

without knowing your specifics how can we help you?
are you rooted? what rom? version? kernal? recovery?

I had the same problem...got a new phone from att and still did the same. Did you try resetting your router...for some reason my captivate is sensitive to my router and even though everything else wireless in the house works fine the phone says wifi disconnected....hopefully resetting your router does it

Try changing the channel.on your router to channel 11 and then setting a static ip address on your phone.
I am assuming you are using a standard home user router such as a linksys or netgear and that you are using a captivate, so I doubt you are having issues due.to encryption or using the wrong type.wireless.

Cisco VPN - Anyconnect ?

I've searched many treads and also put up a few posting in the past.
I know Anyconnect is not available for the Xoom/Andriod OS at this time, but has anyone found an "easy" way to connect to a Cisco VPN system.
I was able to install certs as needed and tried a few workarounds, but no luck.
This is the a must have for me and I know a lot of others.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was able to get my Cisco VPN to connect by rooting and using VPN Connections.

Thanks for the response...
Couple of questions
You mentioned rooted? Did you change kernel also?
3g or Wifi model? (I have Wifi)
When you say VPN connections, do you mean a app or the stock connect in the system?
Did you tranfer your certificates to the Xoom?
Sorry for all the questions. I've had a Gtab since November and just picked up a Xoom after holding out for a month.
Glad I made the purchase.....

I should mention the Cisco VPN I'm connecting to only uses grou passwords
I'm using the 3G model, and it is rooted with the tun.ko module available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972550&highlight=tun.ko.
VPN Connections is a root app available from http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

The problem is, that the VPN Connection with anyconnect is totally unstable and with all the other Cisco VPN-concentrators its the same problem. That is the result of how android is programmed. i Tried to get a stable cisco-vpn connection on a nexus one, nexus s and optimus speed. All failed. You had to copy a tun.ko file, specific for the phone. then you where able to connect to a normal cisco vpn concentrator (not anyconnect concentrator). but that worked only once. every time after that, the vpn connection was so unstable i could only get it up for some secounds. thats why i bought an iPhone as smartphone and use the xoom as tethering.
what i want to try the next few days is, connect with the free iOS Any-Connect / VPN protocoll on the iPhone and then tether my xoom to use the same connection there. dunno if it will work

So far, that is the only way I can get a "connection." However, there does not appear to be any traffic going across the connection and VPN Connections hangs when I try to disconnect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had no luck connecting to my work VPN. We use Cisco Anyconnect and SecurID. The Cisco rep has been saying a client is in the works but nothing so far. This is the only think keeping the Xoom from really being a laptop replacement for me. Sucks.

Agreed!

I can't connect either but my setup is a little different. I log into Cisco SSL VPN Service through the website, which requires UN/PW/Group. When connecting for the 1st time on a device, it downloads and installs the VPN client. Through this method it performs:1)Platform Detection; 2)ActiveX; 3)Java Detection; 4)Sun Java; 5)Download & 6)Connected. But when signing in using my Xoom it hangs at step 5(Download). It displays a link, Linux i386, but it does nothing when clicking on it. Does anyone have this file or know a way around this?

The problem is google wont allow cisco into the kernal. The app is done at Cisco, but google is holding up the show. Cisco also has a new light weight vpn client that is more of an on demand app that will work with Jabber. (which works on xoom, i have it loaded)

What is the name of the light weight app that works on the Xoom?

if you flash the tiamat kernal and install the tun.ko you should be able to use the updated VPNC to connect just fine. i use my SecurID with this same setup and tunnel in daily for work. it sure does beat carrying a laptop around.
Also, Office chat is a office communicator app if your work uses it. basically i never have to carry a laptop around. I also use evernote. Onenote is great but evernote stores in the cloud and syncs to my phone, laptop, and xoom instantly will no setup necessary. Try it out.

Thanks for the tip Holsum. My Xoom isn't rooted yet but I'll investigate for my NexusOne which is already rooted and I'm very familiar with hacking on it. I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.

When I run the vpn widget and test prerequisites it says that it doesn't have root. I am rooted running the newest tiamat kernel and the superuser app popped up and allows me to grant the app root... any idea why it thinks it doesn't have root?

[Q] Wifi Issues

I'm not able to connect to wifi at all with my One, even when I have excellent wifi strength. I thought I had a defective unit but I got another one and it still doesn't connect. I have no trouble connecting at all with my iPhone 4s, Nexus 7, or Samsung Galaxy S1. (When I run speed test with these I get about 7-10 Mbps download and about 10-15 Mbps upload) Is there anything I can do to fix this? (like an update or something) This is my last resort before I bring it back and use my old phone.

Have you changed your WiFi password recently?

Ok I fixed it. To anyone having problems with wifi, on your wifi settings click "show advanced options," change ip settings to static, and change the DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4

If I am not mistaken that 8.8.4.4 is a google DNS. Meaning you bypassed your providers DNS and are now using this one. This would indicate that there is a DNS conflict between you and your provider....and you basically went around the problem. Hey if it works it is all good I guess and of course I may be way of course in the response. If so then please feel free to refer to me as a dum dum
Edit: Let me re-phrase this a bit because it does not actually indicate a conflict. Apparently your wifi router is set to this google 8.8.4.4 DNS and not the DNS that your provider is using. Thus any device going through the wifi router must match this DNS setting to connect.
Many people on lets say XBOX do this to maybe help with lag and stuff especially if the google DNS server is closer to them than there Providers DNS server.. It is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things but it is not a universal fix as so stated in your reply. Hope this makes sense.

I'm having issues connecting to the 5mhz WiFi network while the 2.4 works perfectly fine on same router. Same thing at work... Laptops connect fine. Tried both stock and viper Rom and still nothing... It just doesn't even connect to the network... The pass was entered correctly.

No issues on 5GHz with my Linksys E3000's with dd-wrt firmware. Are you on the latest firmware from the manufacturer of your device?

Using ddwrt myself.. it's really weird cause even at work with their fancy routers.. it doesn't work nor at home... Maybe just defective antenna or something ? The 2.4 works fine.

Issues with new TWC modem/router

Hi all, while thinking that faster internet would be a good thing, it seems that I have managed to break chromecast compatibility with my network. Previously I had a Netgear router that worked perfectly, but when we got an upgrade to TWC's new "Extreme Internet" they installed a new WiFi router/modem hybrid that I cannot seem to connect to. I get the message that it is connected to the network but not the internet. Ap isolation. Is disabled, but I cannot find the plug and play feature anywhere in the network settings. Has anyone found a work around?

If you can give us the exact make and model we might be able to help more.
BTW, TWC changed their policy a few years back and now allow approved customer-owned modems which will save you the modem rental. They used to not charge for the modem rental but also not let you use your own. Installed a Motorola SB6141 for my relative and it's been working great with the Netgear WNDR3700 I put there.
No Chromecast yet because I haven't been by to visit...

You could always use your own modem with twc, just that most people did not know that. Like previously mentioned, more details are needed in order to further assist you. Make and model(tg862g, ddw3611, dvw32011b???). More than likely you just need to call and talk with level 3 tech support. I personally used my own router behind the modem because I do a bit more than normal with my router.

I went through Hell on Christmas Eve with Time Warner....
They have a new Modem/Router they are using....When connected to a personal Router it does a double Nat translation which really doesn't work at all.
Your lucky if you even get Internet access on a Computer with it.
Check your router and see what IP address it has under internet connection. It should not be 192.168.0.x
If it is not an outside IP you need to call support and tell them you need your Router to breach the Modem and have them shut off all ROUTER capability on their Device so that all it does is pass a public IP to whatever is connected to it.
If you get your phone service from Time Warner as well better call on a Cell Phone because they will drop the phone call the second they mess with their Modem/Router and you will suffer through Groundhog day explaining it to the next guy from scratch!

Well guys I solved my own problem in a way. I disabled the wireless broadcast from the TWC Arris router and just connected my old NetGear ( old as in 2 months old) and it seems to work perfectly now. And the installer said, " You won't need to use your old one because this box is like commercial grade bro."
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Glad to hear. The wireless modem you have is indeed a great modem and you could use that alone but it is easier to just use your own. The installer more than likely wasn't on the up and up about the more technical aspects of the modem. You can't knock him for that part as the techs are not trained on a lot of the extra features of the modem. I only know this because I may or may not work for the company(need to keep work out of forums).

It will just show this

Sits on this screen also. WiFi is broken

Might be defective, might be a bug you should try a factory reset. I suspect I have a WIFI problem as well (not the same) as mine will absolutely not connect to my work network even though it should and I've tried everything.

Same here. I had the problem on the Nexus 5 and hoped the Nexus 6 would solve this but I cannot connect to my work wifi either.

I am having the same problem at work too. Never had it on any other devices (m8, nexus 5, note 4, etc.) Wondering of they did something new with WiFi or if its the router settings or outdated routers.

Android devices have had a history of issues with some older Wireless Access points. The problem isn't that they won't connect, but that they won't get an IP address. You may be able to work around the issue, by finding an unused IP address, and manually setting it for that wifi connection. Contact your IT person if you don't know what all this means, and ask him/her for the following:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server
You'll need those to set things up manually. If you can connect after setting it up manually, then the issue is incompatibility with the WiFi access point (or the DHCP server, which gives out IP Addresses), not with your phone.

I will give that a try. I just confirmed that it's ONLY my nexus 6, I brought in my nexus 7 2013 with lollipop to work (which I have never done) and it was able to connect with no problem so now I'm sure it's a problem with the nexus 6.
EDIT: I tried manually connecting to the router and that didn't do it as well. I wish there was a way to submit the bug because it's a pain in the ass to not have wifi on my phone at work, poor signal in the building means it kinda chews on the battery.
If anyone else tries manual and succeeds please let us know!

Add feedback to escalate the issue. I get no cellular signal inside my office at work so WiFi is A MUST for me.

Yep exactly, it's not just a nexus 6 issue, it also affects the nexus 5 on LXR210. Sounds like it's actually cisco's fault for incorrectly using the wrong EAPOL-Key descriptor version (3 instead of 2). Hopefully google fixes the issue quickly.

I had a defective unit. Took it back to T-Mobile and they had one Nexus left and swapped it out now everything is great. Now the damn X Where it says NEXUS on the back of the phone fell off . Oh well

I have the AT&T Nexus 6 and now I'm having WiFi issues. Keeps dropping connection or says poor than disconnects. No issue on any other device and it will not even show my 5ghz band.
