Hello guys!
I need your help, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, tried several ROM's but the result is all the same.
The problem is that when I connect it to my home wireless connection, the connection is very slow and after a few seconds, maybe 1 minute or 2, it stops sending and receiving data.
My PC works fine with the wireless connection, but my phones don't. Phone works fine in other wireless connections, so I guess it should be a configuration problem. Tried many of them, but nothing seems to work.
Any help?
Thank you!
You guessed it right...!!
It's configuration problem.

How about checking the QOS settings in the routers configuration page? Your desktop might have a higher priority.

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.

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.

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
Any ideas on how I can get vpn working? I am trying to connect to VyprVpn. The Note says it has connected but nothing works. I.e. I try to go to a web site but it won't load.
My laptop and my Acer Iconia all work fine with the same settings.
I think it's a problem with Android as my S II had the same issue. However if any one has any suggestions...
I am having the same problem. I connect to the VPN and it has the key and says connected. no data will work while it is connect. My IT guy says it is connected buy no data is going in or out. I try to connect to my RDT and it times out. Settings work fine on the iPhone and iPad.
+1 I have the same problem on both S1 and note.
Any ideas?????
Success, use l2tp
Following another post, I got it working using these instructions for l2tp:

Still not working for me - did you connect over wifi?
l2tp works for me over wifi and mobile
Same problem here when trying to connect to my firm's VPN.
Works smooth over wifi but nothing on 3G (it says connected but I can't do anything). Just once it loaded half page.
Vodafone says is not their problem.
try this http://www.purevpn.com/tutorials.php
I'm facing the same issue connected to my OverPlay VPN, anyone managed to find a solution?
Use l2tp or upgrade to ICS.

Lets try this:
Check whether your laptop can get an IP from your wifi.
I. YES
- Turn on wifi on your note.
- Go to Applications -> Settings -> Wifi settings.
- Look down at Wifi network.
- Touch into the name of your wifi then choose "Forget network".
- Turn off wifi on your note.
- Turn it on again.
- Enter the key and see what's happen.
II. NO
- Check your router configuration.
If you hav have enabled mac protection on router, reset it.

Hi,
Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).
Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?
Many Thanks

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?
I have similar issues.
I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.
The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.
Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.
I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.
I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...
I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...
I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..
I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.
Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.
I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..
Nor there is fault of router...
Google this problem you will find results with solutions for xda only... (did the same but don't remember the link)
Al t bst!!

I am on note2 BT homehub2and having identical issues. Did you get a fix?
hi everyone,
I just switched from my trusty desire s to a galaxy s3 mini and everything seemed great untill....i got home and tried to connect it to my wifi ap.
At work it works just fine but at home it doesn't
I've tried deleting and re entereing the ap, no luck. The *#0011# trick to disable the wifi powersaving mode also doesn't work
And to top it all of i can't access my ap config utility screen, so short of buying a new router i'm out of options...
So you guys & girls are my last hope to get it working...
Thanks!
(edited for typos, gotta catch em all! )
I've reset my acces point (d-link dwl-g700ap) and even then no succes. My phone found it, connected to it and got stuck at the point where it should have gotten an IP...
Since i can't log into my Wifi-AP (i've tried it all, no luck, even pinging it resulted in 100% loss even tho i was connected to it on my laptop) my wireless network was now open and unsecure
So.... i've bought a new router... lets hope it will work.. sigh..
AS you said it works with your works wireless, and if you can test it on another wireless network then it would go to show its your home AP.
Maybe see if there is a new firmware for your AP? If not then a new one is your best bet.
The new router works like a charm! Happy times
I could not even acces my old AP, so i really had no other option than buying a new one.
It all worked out in the end.

I see you already got a new router, but in case anyone else has a similar problem, I had some troubles connecting to my home router so I setup a manual IP (along with subnet mask and so on) and it hasn't failed ever since.
Yeah, I had to, sadly. I think the tech guy who installed the AP changed some settings i didn't know about and forgot to write them down for me.
But the range of the thing wasn't great, and it WAS just and AP with only WEP encription, so it was a very basic piece of kit and allready 5 years old. Now i've got a nice dual band router and the difference is dramatic. Couldn't be happier
Thanks for the support guys! :good:
