I read a lot of threads around wifi issues and all seems to round up on dhcp settings.
What I see is that dhcp settings are not involved in the problem but I see that if I try to connect to a WPA2 protected network I have problems.
If I change the network settings to WEP or free, the tablet get authenticated in a second!
Does anyone else encountered the same problem?
I've got four WPA2 networks defined and the Tab connects to all four w/o any issue. What sort of difficulty are you seeing?

Not with all WPA2 network I can't get the tab connected.
In my home dlink wireless I have problems. Sometimes tab gets connected in one second but for the major number of attempts I have tab trying to connects without success... all what I see is "connecting". I think it's not a dhcp issue because I don't see "obtaining IP address" in those cases so I think it's in loop on authentication stage.
Also, I tried to change encryption method to WEP on dlink network and the tablet gets connected every time in one second, not more...

I have upgraded the phone to gingerbread and have problems connecting to wifi in school. I can see that it is secured with WPA/WPA2, others have no problems connecting.
I had the same problem with a Hero, it just worked with one ROM (not gingerbread), but those other who can connect have gingerbread.
Wasda problem?!
And it's not rooted. Kinda new phone you know and has warranty.
I have the same issue, my phone will only connect to some routers and other people have no problem getting i wifi connection. I'm using MIUI 1.12.16. Anyone have any idea on how to sort this problem out? Thanks.
I can connect to any routers but if i go to WiFi Settings and see if i am connected, it had a little icon next to the router name. When i am connected and i can get internet on my phone the color of the icon is blue (because of my theme) and if i am connected but i can not get internet the the color of that icon is like grey even if the connection is 100%.
Maybe that's a Kernerl problem? I had the same issue WRXRB320 with my router! I changed wi-fi settings from Wpa2 to Wpa and still not worked.. than changed kernel to vadonka's and installed "set DNS" from market! I don't know if the app can solve your problem but give it a try!
EDIT: The app works only if your device is ROOTED

Hi, i'm on vadonka's ETaNa kernel and my wifi is working now with 1 of the routers in my house, but with the other router when i try to connect to it, it says "obtaining ip address". I will download set DNS from the market and see it that will help me, thank you
I tried the app and my phone was still stuck on "obtaining ip"
I 1st noticed after going over my data limit.
My wifi would drop. I would disable and enable it then it work again, it got worse and worse until
it would stay at Obtaining an IP address… if I set it to static i still dont get on the my home network.
Reboot the phone, router and wireless access point no luck.
Any guesses? Will I need to hard reset my droid.
Running ofw 2.3.5 lgp25-v20-feb-22-2012
/data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list this file is not on my phone so i cant try the fix.
i tried wifi fixer and fxr wifi still no luck they both think the phone should be working.
Did u hard reset?

I have been having this strange wifi problem lately.. I am not able to connect to my home wifi network.
It says obtaining IP address but never connects.. This problem only occurred recently.. I was able use my home wifi before.
After googling around, i tried the following.
1. I went to advanced setting and used static IP. This time it got connected. But i was not able to connect to internet.
2. Did a factory reset.. Then flashed stock using ODIN. Still no luck.
3. I changed the encryption to WPA-PSK... Didnt work.
Can somebody help with this issue please?

Hmm..did u flash any kernel?
I had this problem when I tried to update busybox. But since you have re-flashed stock.
Are you sure its a problem on your phone and not with the router? Try connecting to a different router.

Remove the WiFi connection from your phone, click on forget.
On your router,from the configuration page, change the WiFi security to open then try connecting using phone.
If it works then remove connection from phone again (click forget), and configure your router to WPA or any other such algorithm. Then connect again.
My brother has this problem, have you tried other wifi networks? It may be able to connect to other routers. What does it say after "obtaining ip address", does it connect or do you get disconnected?

Hey bro , i tried what you say and there is no result unfortunately
I've tried everything what I could find in the web, however nothing helped. What should I do? I'm using CM10, my router's IP is dynamic.

Thanks in advance

Restart router? Or maybe you have another device on fixed IP (I had similar problem with my iPad ) and router tries to assign this IP to your phone?

Rename your access point name.. I had same problem before, after change access point name in router, i can connect again..
Sent from my LG-P990
The blame is from router. Once it happened to me. Try restart your router.
try to make it static..
I have had this problem on different ROMs occasionally.
Deleting the saved connection on your Phone, searching for the Network and typing the password again would solve my problem.
But for me the Router Restart or even WiFi off and back on (on the Router) has helped with this issue.
Tried to make it static, tried to restart my router a couple of times even tried to change the access point name in the router but nothing helped. All other android devices I have work normally..
Do you have 2 wifi networks with the same name?
Had this problem when my wifi network name at home had the same name as my gf's network at her house

EDIT:
Problem solved, updated the router's firmware
I have the same problem unfortunately, I'm on DMX 1.5 with KOB kernel, wifi worked flawlessly until yesterday, now it's stucked. I have tried roouter restarting/firmware updating, phone restarting, retype wifi password, but nothing helped. The other devices at home (android and bb) can connect though.
Try to restart your router. Commonly the blame is for router.

I reflashed the rom without wipe, it works now.

Next time turn off your router, wait few seconds and turn it on. It must work... i had the same problem few times. It is caused when your wi-fi router remmember your phone MAC address, and then, your phone is being dissconected without pressing "turn off wi-fi" on your phone. MAC address is still remmembered in your router and it wouldn't accept to remmember the same parameters from your device..

Well after a day, it does it again, I have tried to turn off the router for about 5-10 seconds, but it's the same. Maybe the problem is, the wifi router is a bit far from my room, and it disconnects wifi at a few spots, don't know how could I solve this, don't wanna reflash everyday.
Одг: Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP adress"
How far? What is your singnal strenght?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
The router is around 20-25meters away from my room, I usually get one or two bars (sensitivity set to -32dbm), but as I said it disconnects a few times, when I go to my terrace it always connects/disconnects in every 10 seconds. I'm planning to broadcast wifi off my computer, so it doesn't matter, I just don't know if it plays a role in this "obtaining IP address" problem, but I haven't had it before so it must be a ROM/kernel problem, I've reflashed it again with a different kernel, I'll see if it works, as it started with the using of this one (King of Birds kernel).
I have read a topic (can't find it now) that said it's a DHCP problem, and the device remembers the previously used IP's and wants to use that, and I should delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp-list file to get rid of this problem. However, I cannot get into "data" folder with Root Browser (with root permission of course), nor delete the file with Terminal Emulator, so I couldn't try it. Sorry if I wrote anything stupid, as I'm not into most of these technical things. Thanks for your help.
