I have been facing the problem for the last week or so. I do-not get any internet connection through my phone's WiFi hotspot . The WiFi does connect to my windows 7 laptop , but then I don't get any internet connection ( windows says limited connectivity and I donot have this problem with USB tethering ). Does any body have any ideas on how to go about fixing this issue..?? Thanks
PS : I need WiFi hotspot ,as I often connect my lappy to it while charging and i do have other devices i need internet connection at times
I am currently on temasek's 129 kang and 725 BB/RIL
Anybody any hints or insights into.this one ???

The other devices work? Try reconnecting with different security (open instead of wpa for example). Maybe your Laptop is not configured properly (fixed IP address, wrong network type, firewall, etc).
It is just guesswork on my end. There are too many variables unknown to give you better advice.
Last resort would be a full wipe of your o2x. But that is only a good idea if you have proven that other devices connected to your phone via wlan do not work as well and that your laptop is configured correctly.
Have a nice day!
Got resolved. Apparently I had used adhoc mode on my laptop to make my laptop a hotspot ..Even though I had deleted the adhoc connection , I had not turned off Internet connection sharing , this was causing this .. Blimey .. Hope windows had warned me about this instead of telling "limited conection "
well Dang
I just flashed cm10 Nightly, and cant use Wifi-hotspot,, First i thought it was RIL, but i learnd you dont mess with the RIL in CM10.. and it aint any problem with the computer, it can connect to other hotspots..
The built-in Hotspot thing is hanging in "starting hotspot" and from there i have to reboot to get it going again..and this one isnt even showing up on wireless networks on the Laptop,.. so.
I Downloaded a 3rd party , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether
It seems very nice, and it goes saying in the log that it started up Okey, and the laptop can now se the "ad-hoc" wireless it created.. but when connecting and using the password, it aint doing nothing, no IP, no nothing.. and the app have a acces-control, where nothing is showing..
Any hints for me ? =)

Hey,
i was using ICS on my Laptop the past 4 month. Everything worked pretty fine since yesterday. I used the USB cable and got a working LAN4-Connection with the ICS-Software. But instead of surfing, my firefox said: "Not found ...". Even ping didnt worked. "ipconfig" said i have a valid IP and all other connections were disabled. The device itself said "connected". HSDPA worked well on the device itself in Opera, but i wasnt able to get any data on my laptop. I disabled my firewall but it wasnt working. Im using windows xp ...
any ideas?
regards
MoDeM
no solution?
obviously its not an kaiser-problem because it works on my PC but not on my Notebook ...
any ideas?
It can be a lot of things. Start by checking the Kaiser's USB network IF IP address with internet sharing on and connected, and verify that no network card on the PC is using the same subnet. Also check that the PC is set to get IP address automatically on the "windows mobile internet sharing device" connection.
Internet sharing with Kaiser
I have the same problem with my laptop and Kaiser. When I try with the Diamond of my wife its working, but with the Kaiser, using now RomEos 4.6, he get connection but can not find anything.
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
Today i forgot my usb data cable at home and found myself desperately looking for an internet connection with my laptop. Ive downloaded 'bernacle wifi tether' , tetherblu and '' wireless tether for root users''.
Neitherr worked for me. In all of those my laptop could see the network those apps produced but could not connect even at maximum signal strenght.
Did anyone ever succeed with wifi tether on the n1?
Edit:rooted with cm 5.0.6
ive used barnacle, its pretty nice
any messages on why it couldnt connect? your laptop support ad-hoc networks?
Sorry for my noobility ..i dont know what is an ad hoc network. I dont receive any errors, it tryes to connect until it times uot saying it couldnt connect or repair the connection of unlnown reasons. Im using vista x64 on an n80x5 assus notebook. Could it be that i need some additional drivers for the n1?
No, you don't need any drivers to connect to WiFi.
Tested WiFi teather for root when downloaded it, works perfectly.
Check your laptop settings, I'd guess that it has absolutely nothing to do with the phone.
Barnacle became my #1 wifi tether program. works evertime. it might be the way you have your laptop setup or something. WiFi teather for root works also.
If you have static ip on your laptop...then none of those will work. Set your laptop to obtain ip automatically...i bet it work then.
Problem solved !
it was indeed a problem with my network adapter's driver.
Works great now!
thank you!
few weeks ago my dad changed isp and now i dont have internet connection running 24/7 as i had before.now i have to be connected to router either via cable or wifi and then use broadand dial up (i hope you understand this) to connect to internet.is it possible to do something like that on xperia?. and how?
thanks
I don't think it's possible. But if you have a computer (Laptop) with WiFi and Windows 7 OS, I suggest you download "connectify" http:// www. connectify .me to make your laptop to be router WiFi. Correct me if I misunderstand of your problem.
you got it all right...i'll try what you said...
thanks
ok.one problem.when i make a hotspot i lose connection with my router.bcs im also connected to it with wifi.so it's not a weird thing it happens im just trying to find a way to avoid that
Hello,
I got the 2.2.1 SuperBled Rom installed on my G1.
Since a few days i cannot use the connection over WiFi.
after turning it on it finds all the access points around and also builds up a connection to my router. i get an ip from my router and everything seems fine.
but i cant use that connection, nothing is working, no market, nothing through the browser, no mails etc. the connection is displayed as connected all the time.
i have not changed any settings on the phone nor on the router.
it worked fine before. it also doesnt work with any other access points like at my uni or friends place.
i can still use the internet through mobile networks.
any suggestions what the problem might be ?
thanks in advance
cheers
I am having the exact same issue but a Rooted Nexus S with CyberGR v10.
