time to connect to wifi?

how much time does your kaiser takes to connects to the wifi?? mine takes a hell lot of time sometimes 5 mins even.....i can see in my router logs these 3 points only :
1) Wireless PC connected
2) authenticating.....
3) authentication success
but there is no dhcp lease ip for a long time. I upgraded my router firmware as well....it doesnt take so much time for my laptops (3 of them) what am i missing? any special config i have to do ? or is it possible to se the debug logs for my kaiser so i can try to find out the root cause?

My kaiser takes about 10-15 seconds with my Linksys WRT54G using WPA-TKIP. I'm running the stock HTC ROM and have nothing special setup.

4 seconds
no WEP
mac address filter: only allow selected mac addresses

After really looking at this, like the below user says, it takes less than 5 seconds with WPA-TKIP and MAC filtering. 5 minutes is excessively long, but unfortuntaly it seems that you've done everything I can think of. Hope you can find a fix!

Do you have the WiFiRouter installed? It may be falsely trying to connect to itself.

yes i have the dlink Dl 524.....it works fine with other laptops and even my kaiser gets connected to it...but it take a hell lot of time.....

I think Nick meant, do you have WMWiFirouter installed on your kaiser (the app by Chainfire) as the kaiser may be trying to connect to itself.
One other thing, is your SSID on the router 'Hidden'? If you have not selected the box for hidden network on Wireless connection (when you set it up on the kaiser) it can bit 'Hit n Miss' to get a connection.

just config the router to do mac filtering. Theres practically no authenticating step, it just goes like this:
1)This device is trying to connect, does it match the mac addresses owner provided?
if no -> user cannot connect
if yes-> user connects
// this is assuming you click the option "allow selected devices..."
only bad thing about mac filtering is that if you have a new device that making a new mac key for it is a nuisance.
otherwise, you can forget all those security keys!
*btw* if router signal is roughly below 20% it may take a while to connect, you may want to use 3rd party wifi managers like wififofum.

nothing works...i gets the same problem ...it takes a hell lot of time to connect.....is there any 3rd party software which can help me connecting to the network. I have noticed that it gives me the wrong signal strength as well.....sitting just next to the router it gives shows 60-70% signal strength. i dont have wifirouter app installed. I have tried the mac filtering as well but didnt help. my network is broadcasting the ssid and is not hidden.....and i am hating this. my friend wanted my kaiser to connect to his network so he could browse but it never got connected and i felt ashamed of this ~500 pound phone ......

did you try changing the power mode to best performance?

Mine takes 7 seconds to connect every single time. Thomson speedtouch from be broadband.Wep encryption.

It should probably be noted that this isn't a very secure method. But if you're not worried about your traffic being sniffed or someone cloning your MAC and getting on your network. Go for it!

i have tried this as well. sometimes it works. and i have set it to best performance. still no good

It takes 4 seconds for me (with a Linksys AP/Router) with WPA TKIP authentification.
Have you tried different wifi channel ? Have you try "Wififofum" to have some info about you're AP ?

my router is running with channel 11 ....how can i put it in my kaiser? what channel is yours running on?

That is extremely unsecure and not a good idea. A MAC spoof is such a simple thing so others can get right on your network...never mind the fact that all of your data is flying around in plain text.
Some one with a laptop/mac spoof and ettercap will wreck your stuff bad.

but atleast it should work...

If only we could all think like that

I use WRT54G running DD-WRT (custom linux firmware wich is a bit more stable than the original linksys fw) with WPA2-PERSONAL (AES) and it takes about 4 sec to connect. I live on 4th floor and the router is on 3rd floor.

[Q] Captivate Wifi Issue

Hi All,
I have a weird problem with my captivate of not connecting to my home network. Let me start by telling that I have searched the solutions and tried doing everything except full factory reset. I have rebooted the phone, done reset on my router (Wifi was working just fine earlier.. so I think settings was not an issue. But I still did it), I removed the file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf and let it regenerate it. Captivate displays "Obtaining IP Address" and it just stays there. I also see that IP address is being assigned to captivate in my router
Captivate is rooted stock Froyo
Router security: WEP
form the Wifi list, I found one unsecured network and captivate connects to that router just fine (signals are very week though...). I tried removing the security on my router but it still stuck on "Obtaining IP address".
Can you please please help me?? As I mentioned earlier, It was working just fine and suddenly stopped working two days back.
These all app updates are eating away my limited data of 200M.
Thanks a millian.

What's your router model ?
What channel are you running on ?
Are others routers close to you running on the same channel ?
Have you tried another channel ?
Did you try WPA2 ?

Could be incompatibility with your router. That happened to me before with my old router. It didn't work with some cell phone wifi devices.
Sent using XDA App

Try using the app "FXR." I had the same issue a couple times and this app seemed to fix it. It took a few tries though. I think it might be a router problem. I use the Linksys wrt54g.

You could also try assigning a static IP address to your device on the router side, and then telling your phone to use that address. I've used that in the past to some success.
As a test, have you tried (temporarily) disabling the security on your router to see if it connects?

I have a similar problem since upgrading to the past 3 nightlies. My phone sees and connects to my home network and says it has strong signal, but when I try to access Market or Internet it says there's a network error and I can't get thru. My two computers (one hard wired and one wi-fi) don't seem to have any problem hooking in to the internet, just my SGS1

Does the 'FXR' app set up IP addresses?

The App didn't work for me. I tried that yesterday. I was reading the similar problems on some other site yesterday and I found the following that solved my issue. In case someone like me still struggling with the WiFi problem.
Delete file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
Delete file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
reboot the device and it will create these files again and you will have to enter your WiFi password again in order to connect.
I am really glad that my WiFi is working back again.

FYI, I'd change the WEP to WPA.

Where do you go to change that setting? I've been all thru the wi-fi settings and advanced settings, but didn't see anything that referred to WEP or WPA.
Just realized we're talking now about the router, not the phone, duh!

Yes, I certainly need to bump up the security settings on my router.

I used root explorer, but could not locate the files you mentioned. Directories were there just not files. I'm still exploring the router side. Thanks for the info tho.

WIFI not work X8 - ?ROUTER settings? !

Hi guys!
I have problem,that my wifi won't work. It's connected but there's no internet connection. If I change security, i get wifi connection but after few minutes,I lost internet connection but wifi is connected. Same problem on my father HTC WILDFIRE S.
On my laptop wifi works well.
I search on web and there are some people having that trouble,but I didn't find solution. I don't want to use static ip,because I lost router connection,I must use DINAMIC IP for working router.
My router adress is 192.168.2.1
Help me what settings I must to set,change in my router settings. I attach photos from broadband router what settings I have set! Please attach your settings that I can set this on my router. I wan't my normal wifi back.
Thank you all!

Fix
Hey there 2010matej.
What router are you using? I have had similar problems that I fixed. Also, some friendly advice would be taking your internet IP off the thread. It can be useful for some people with less favorable intentions.
Also, I'm not sure if it is XPERIA X8 specific.
EDIT: Have you paid this month for internet?

Router: Canon CN WF514:
I have this problem for so time. Yes we always paid for internet!

Ok. I have asked a friend of mine he said that there are a few ways to deal with this problem:
1) A hard reset. Just use a pencil or pen to press the reset button. Hold it there for 4 seconds and the rooter will reset. This will make you start as if from the beginning.
2) Check for any 'broadcast' settings. Enable any that have been disabled.
3) Disconnect any wires and power plugs then clean them and reconnect them.
I'm sorry if this does not work. I have tried quite hard to help but unfortunately this is all I got. My friend also gave me the link to this manual just in case.

Hope it helps

Thanks for reply. I hard reset router last because I can't go to 192.168.2.1 router web page,but when I reset wifi start working. I just again set security. Maybe is problem in security,but wifi is SLOW

Internet is slow at night so maybe this is the problem. Otherwise, try changing your channel. You may get better results. Go to speedtest.net and test your speed. Then come back. Also, connect the wire from router to laptop and it will be faster.
Hit the thanks if I helped anywhere.

It's not that. Wifi on laptop is fast,just on x8 is slow. When I go on weekend to Croatia,where is internet very,very,very slow on laptop,is fast on x8,WTF!

Good to hear you fixed it anyway.

i think your problem is based on PPPOE connection type.
thing you do is you connect to your wifi but not to your operator.
THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO:
->go to http://www.torrapk.com/download/apps/WIFIPPPOE_v1.0/WIFIPPPOE_v1.0.php and download wifi pppoe apk
->install (root is needed).
->NOW connect to your wifi as usual.now when icon is displayed open the pppoe apk and insert your opereators username and pasword.(probably same as on your computer/laptop)
and DONE
glad to help

I don't think that is needed at all.. Some routers are really cr*p when WPA2 encryption is used..
I'd try setting it to WEP and trying again.. If it's better, then proceed to MAC allow your devices so your network is secured.
Set the wireless channel to 11 for a strong signal too.
Then in advanced wireless settings on your x8 make sure that NEVER is selected as the sleep policy.
Remove your router in your x8 wireless settings and then set it up again..
Good luck!

Sorry I was under the impression that it wasn't working before at all and now it is. Will read further in future but I have to say that I can't refute or build on lukenda's advice.

I hard reset router again,I didn't set security,but wifi won't work on phone. I don't want to install apps to have working wifi,because I didn't have problems 2 months ago ! And my channel is set to 11!

[Q] CM10.1 :something wrong with the WIFI

After i flash CM10.1, the signal is excellent connected but can't get in the internet site,when connecting to Zte family gateway(h108l),while connecting to other routers works well.
When i flash Hong Kong 20B,it also works well.

Did you try different modes in your ap? Like b/g/n etc?
Or may b different channels?
And do u have mac filtering in your ap?
My wifi working fine. Im on cm 10.1 29 april nightly.

with apologies, I'm not an expert of routers yet, and i dunno about your router, but you pointed out that you need to enter username and password after you connect to your access point, if that means your AP has hotspot enabled, you can try to open any webpage in your browser and see if you land to that page?
if not then connect any other device with your router and when you land on that page, copy the address of it
again apologies for not giving you an expert answer, just betting my knowledge so may b it adds a point of thinking in your situation lol.

[Q] Xperia SP MAC address change/spoof

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me please?
I have a rooted xperia sp phone and I don't know how can I change my Mac address:/
I tried Mac Address Ghost, Mac Spoofer and Wireless Mac Address Changer too, but unfortunately after I changed my mac i could not connect to wifi. It says/shows "authentication problem".
I "need" to change it because in our school theres 2 network....one for students (Let's say NetworkA) and one for teachers(NetworkB) and when I arrive school NetworkA is full so i cannot connect to it :/...but there's NetworkB which is nearly empty..and on the other hand it has a wider internet connection. And as you know it is great when you need something from the internet and you have (fast) wifi (that you can connect to).
(Sorry for my english :s )

Hello there , im the owner off Wireless Mac Changer application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireless.macchanger
In my app i have provided two ways to the change the mac, if you read the description, the simple way will change the mac but you cant connect to any password protected network cuz of the limitation how it changes the mac, you can choose the hard way , this will let you connect to secured network, but this way may not work on all devices , try to disconnect from the network you are connected to , then change the mac using the hard way
