Wifi on Cyanogen issues

I just finally got sick of waiting for an official Froyo(Bell isn't about to give me an upgrade anyhow.) So I went to a froyo rom that was based on one of the stock roms. But I figured since I'm rooted anyhow why not play around, and grabbed cyanogen 6.1 and installed it. Then I end up with the issue of its not connecting to my wifi, I have no issues on the stock 2.2 roms. One thing I have noticed is the cyanogen shows the network as wep, but it's actually wpa encrypted. I flashed into it from the stock without clearing it first and it worked until I shut off and came back to it. Any ideas on what might be the issue. I'm fairly new but I did look and couldn't find anything to fix this.

I assume you flashed 6.1 stable version? I have no issue whatsoever on my device (and I also used official froyo previously). Did you wipe all before flashing 6.1?

He said he "flashed without cleaning"...so I presume no wipe. This could be the problem, a wipe is strongly adviced if going to CM from a non CM ROM. Also check the number of WiFi channels set by default in advanced settings of wifi. It is set for 11 and if the router is set to 13 or 14 it could not work

I had the same problem when i was installing CM6.1. (with wipe)
The phone could just se a wep version of my network and not the wpa that i have. But after i turned on and off the wifi a couple of times i suddenly saw the wpa version of my network and after i connected to that the problem was solved. I also did click "forget network" on the wep version.
Hope this will help you

Trying this now but no go. Sometimes will flash it as wpa and then jump back to wep. This is after a full wipe. What I was trying to say was once I flashed in without wiping and it worked for a bit but jumped right back to not working, after the phone going to sleep.

Bump.
Any insight into this issue? Still only reading my network as wep.

Try installing "WiFi Advanced Configration Editor" from the market. You should be able to change to WPA manually with it.

Did you try to reset your wifi router?sometimes the issues came up from wifi router, not the phone itself.
Mine is fine. I share my broadband wifi to my phone using connectify.
The only problem remains is wifi disconnect frequently, but I heard that it's due to a new kernel which I use (.32 kernel)
hope it helps

Ya reset the router a few times, and it still came up like that. I did install the wifi advance config software mentioned it seemed to fix it. I didn't actually set anything up on it and it seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

CM 6.1 messed up my wifi. Wiped everything, but it suddenly doesn't find my networks.
Wiped again and restored nandroid backup of working rom but STILL the same issue now!! Can I flash the wifi drivers again somehow?

[Q] Wifi no longer working after setting up VPN

I'm on CM dal .32 test build 3.1
Today I tried setting up a VPN but failed. The screen became frozen and I decided to reboot my Nook Color. However, after rebooting my wifi is no longer working. It says "connecting" but then "disconnected" Scan option didn't show any network.
Anyone can help me?

CM7.0.3 with Nook Color no longer works
Hi,
I've run into the same issue with my nook color. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the kernel or the physical device. I know that this is not a router issue since I'm able to connect other machines to my router. Also, I no longer see any other hotspots with the Nook.
I tried some suggestions that I've found on other websites, which include
Shutdown Tablet and start again
Re-install Google Apps
Use Fix Permissions in Rom Manager
None of these work. Any suggestions or is this a known bug?

Same here, I was using nightly 115 with Dalingrin's 6/18 OC kernel when the problem started. I've since rebooted multiple times, fixed permission both from CWM and in Rom Manager, flashed nightly 117 without flashing OC kernel, and still haven't solved the problem.
Wifi just stays "Connecting" and then changed to "Disconnected" briefly and go back to "Connecting" again.

Just reflash your ROM or the latest ROM and DON'T mess with any OC kernels.
Does it work? If so, try the OC kernel again. If it fails, let Dal know in his OC kernel thread, and just re-flash your ROM again to return to the stock kernel. Wipe cache/dalvik as necessary, but don't wipe data and you're not going to lose anything.
One suggestion I have is if you're using AES on your router, try changing from WPA2 to WPA or changing WPA AES (or AES+TKIP) to just WPA TKIP and see if that fixes the problem.
There's a long standing issue with some routers regarding AES in Android, and apparently some laptops also had this issue on older kernels.

Flashing to the latest rom without messing with the kernel was the first thing I tried (other than turning wifi on and off multiple times). It didn't work.
What eventually worked was when I wiped data and factory reset it. Some how that fixed the wifi.
The strange thing is I had just recently factory re-setted coming from an old (pre 2.6.32) nightly a couple of days ago, and had not gotten around to installing much, and I did not restore from backup. i.e. the only thing installed when the wifi problem suddenly appeared were the google apps, Aldiko, QuickPic, Rom Manager, MoboPlayer, and a few ADW themes. None of which sound like they should do anything that messes up the wifi.
I doubt it has anything to do with the router, because I tried connecting it to my router (tkip), hotspot from my android phone (unlocked) and hotspot from my iphone (unlocked). My phone just did not see any network around at all, not even the 5-6 different network from other people in the building.
As mentioned, I have factory wiped my NC and all is fine again now, so I'm not too concerned right now, just curious what could have caused the problem.

I cannot get my nook to connect to WEP router security. What security is your home router?

no fix yet?
i'm guessing this got overtaken by the 10.2 nightlies..

You should try my version of CM 10.1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627202
The reason I say that is that it has different ti wl12xx kernel modules from the stock cm 10.1.3, and I haven't had any issues connecting to the handful of networks that I've tried. I'd be curious to see if it's the kernel module.

That problem has in the past affected cm11 and I think it was a simple off then on of the wifi to get it to work. Might have been a reboot.
Obviously, it should connect if it does at one place but not another.
If you didn't, you could try an off then on of your router as well.

[Q] HP touchpad wifi not turn on Cm11

Hi all,
I recently flashed the cm-11-20140913-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin on my HP TP first time after WEBOS and love to have android on my TP. Although it was working perfectly regarding all aspects, but two days back wifi stops working suddenly and it doesn't turn on. When i slide the bar of wifi from OFF - ON it didn't move and the screen says WIFI TURNING ON and remains. After that i completely wiped all the data and flashed another version of CM11, it did work for some minutes and again the same problem with wifi. I then tried (After Wipping again) the old CM10.1 version with supported files but again it doesn't on from the start. One thing i want to mention that when i change the CM11 version it stops working after couple of minutes and then i shut down and check in the morning it was again working and then again stop after rebooting. I also tried to control it from WIFI Apps i.e. wifi control, wifi manager when it works for some minutes but the apps also failed to TURN ON THE WIFI when it fails from the system.
I also try to search this topic but i didnt find any which worked for me.
Any help regarding this issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards

No any Response:S

First of all, how did you "flash" the ROM? Are you using tptoolbox?
Also, there are several newer versions of jcsullins ROM available to install.
What gapps did you use?
Please provide more information on your part so folks are able to help you.

I have this same issue, wifi works fine on lollipop, but not on cm11, i originally used tp toolbox to remove webos, resize partitions and flash lollipop. I tried going to cm11 for full functionality and wifi would not work, i tried 3 different cm11 based roms and none worked, i went back to lollipop and wifi worked right away.
