WI-FI Problem - Nook Color General

Hi, I'm having troubles with my Nook's wireless connection.
I have CM7 on it.
It isn't connecting at all on the networks, sometimes when I try to connect, what I do, is to "forget" the network that I want to connect to, and then I try to connect it mannually.
But that usually doesn't works.
What can I do?

Normally I wouldn't reply if I didn't have any real idea how to solve your problem, but no one seems to be responding so I'll give it a shot.
I googled it for you... Someone who has a similar problem with their Nook fixed it by going into their routers settings and cloning their computers MAC address. Maybe they had a computer hooked up to their network and needed to register its MAC address with their ISP? Who knows?
Someone else fixed it by manually entering the network information settings on the Nook to use a static IP instead of obtaining it automatically.
Try connecting to a network at like a Barnes and Noble or something and see if it works there to rule out problems with your home network.

WiFi connection troubles

Dear friends,
I'm experiencing problems connecting to secured WiFi spots.
The device sees and connects to secured WiFi points correctly, the connection is good and stable. However it seems that nothing works through them - I cannot open any website. Honestly, I didn't try to connect to unsecured networks (I had no chance to find such).
Does anybody have the same problem? Is it solvable? Should I change something in WLAN configuration?
Please help.
Thanks.
Hello,
Try to change your wifi "Power mode" to "Best performance".

Did you looked up if your HD has a IP, and is listed in the list of dhcp clients (if you are using dhcp). For me it seems that the connection isn't set up correctly, but with the information given above its just a guess.
Same problem here. After two months of great operation and no changes, suddenly this.
This and similar problems are all over the threads.
Ditto, exactly the same probs, cannot acquire an ip address via dhcp from my home router.
Set one up manually and the HD connects to the network but cannot open up any sites, cannot connect to email and cannot download any rss feeds. It seems that any prog that needs to connect to the web cannot.
Same problems trying to connect using the mobile network. Tried a hard reset with no joy. Am going to try flashing a new rom.

[Q] Captivate won't connect to WiFi anymore

So I just got my Captivate a few days ago and I love this thing. I rooted it briefly with OneClickRoot and removed some AT&T bloatware and the unrooted so that I wouldn't have any issues with the upcoming Froyo update.
I don't know if it's related, but now my phone refuses to connect to my home Wifi. It repeatedly says 'obtaining IP address' but then says 'connection unsuccessful' over and over again. It was connecting fine last night after I rooted/unrooted.
I have 'forgotten' the network and tried to reconnect without success. I have cycled the router and gotten it to connect very briefly but sure enough I'm not connected anymore. I'm currently on the wireless on my laptop and it's infuriating.
I've already been growing steadily unhappier with the GPS situation and now this is really putting a damper on my excitement over this phone.
Does anybody know what to do about this wireless?
And if all else fails, how do I get my phone to a point where I can return it for a new one that actually works?
Thanks for all your help.

Yes the phone can be returned to the stock state by using odin . Its very easy. You should first try to use a staic ip. Sometimes the problem is that the captivate chooses to use the same ip as some other electronic that's using that router.
Just go to wireless networks -> wifi -> (menu key) advanced and then plug in the static ip
I am somewhat familiar with static IP's but have never set one up before, certainly not on a phone. Do I need to specify a DNS, too, or just go in and specify a different one from my laptop?
I had that problem before. I just used Odin and flashed the stock firmware (jf6) back on again and it was fine.
Going back to jf6 makes me think there is something wrong with the wireless drivers. Anyone have more information?
Sine I started to flash new firmware I have seen my wifi refuse to connect until the 4th attempt.

On the laptop click start and click run. Type cmd then press enter. Type ipconfig and copy those numbers to your phone but make IP ADDRESS a different number.
Its probably your router
I had the same problem with my captivate. Everything else in the house would connect to the router but my phone wouldn't (even though we have 3 captivates in the house). Then the router started acting up badly so I replaced it with a nice cisco router and BEHOLD!!!! My captivate connects quickly now. no problems.
Cisco Linksys E1000 is the model router i got. Highly recommended.
Good point, power cycle the router and see if the phone can connect after that.
I had this problem with my Linksys router. I had to log into the admin settings and I increased the number of connections available and it connected immediately.
The app, FXR fixed my gf's phone with this problem.

NC Strange Network Problems

Hi Folks,
I just got a Nook Color for xmas and I am seeing some very odd issues when I try to connect to my home wireless network. I am seeing the issue when it tells me it's "Connected, but no internet". The odd thing I am seeing is that it seems to be stuck trying to use the same IP and default gateway no matter what I do. I have a Belkin router and it was using WEP. The device was assigned an IP of 192.168.2.36 and it worked for a little bit. Then it stopped working. I tried changing it to WPA2 and still no luck. Figuring it was my router I bought a new one. I created a new wireless network with a new name and new subnet of 192.168.5.0/28 and STILL when the nook connects to this network it tries to use the IP 192.168.2.36. I put the network back to 192.168.2.0/28 and still it does not work. I setup the Belkin again as a wireless access point and made it open with no security with a totally different network SSID and it still wants to use this IP address. I connected to the nook with adb shell and tried ipconfig, netcfg, setting default route etc all with no luck. At some point during this process I rebooted it 8 times and flashed back to 1.0.0 firmware, wiped the /data directory and it STILL tries to use the 192.168.2.36 IP address. I am at a loss as to what to try at this point. The odd thing is I can connect to my neighbors open access point which is using 192.168.1.0/28 as its subnet and the NC works. Any suggestions anyone could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You need to get the latest update.

[Q] my G1 cannot discover the wifi in my house

hi,
my laptop and my galaxy p1000 can discover and connect to the wifi in my house without any problem, but my htc g1 cannot discover the network, it cannot connect to the network as well if i input the ssid by manual. the interesting thing is that my g1 is able to discover the wifi signal from other house, though i am not sure i can connect to them because they are all password protected.
i think there must be something wrong with the wifi settings in my house, but i just do not know where should start to troubleshoot this issue. please give me some ideas/suggestions.
thanks,
david

Go to "Wi-Fi Settings" and then to "Advanced" by pressing "Menu" button.. Then select "Regulatory Domain", select 13 or 14 channels... You will have your wifi
If the above didn't solve your problem check if your router is broadcasting in B/G/N

Can see wireless network, but not connecting

I am running CyanogenMod 7.1, and am experiencing problems with the Wi-Fi connection recently. I have been able to connect to my router fine in the past.
Currently when I turn on Wi-Fi it will show "scanning" and show the network that I would like to connect to. I have entered the correct WPA2 key but it does not connect automatically. If I press on the network and choose "Connect", nothing happens.
I have been able to use other wireless networks, and this one in particular has worked in the past. This seems to be an issue between the phone and router, but I have no idea what could be causing it. Other computers are able to connect to this network fine.
Also, when I deliberately enter the wrong password and attempt to connect, nothing happens. I do not receive an error about having the wrong password.
Any ideas as to what might be happening?
Thanks
