[Q] Cannot connect to my WiFi

I'm having a really hard time trying to connect to my WiFi at home. I can see the hotspot in the wireless networks settings, it even asks me the wep, but as soon as i type it it goes blank showing just the message "unsuccesfull" or "disconected". Anyone having/had the same problem? I can normally connect to other hotspots, it's just my home's that is driving me nutts. Could it be the router? Could it be the local netowrk provider?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I experienced this with my neighbor's router. Still no luck w/ it. Hope someone can help us. Ü

Had a look round seems to be a problem on the Galaxy SII also. Just for info I have not added any new apps for days.. must be the phone buy why?
Any ideas?
Thanks

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!!

Wifi - Obtaining IP address

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?

[Q] WIFI connections - solved

I can connect and use wifi at home so I know my wifi will work on my phone. But at school if I try to connect it connects then immediately turns off wifi on the phone. I have an Xperia TL running on AT&T. Does anyone know what I can do?

Re: [Q] WIFI connections
We need more info about the network you want to connect to. First step is to select the right settings and password for the network.

I know I am entering the correct password. It is a Cisco wireless access point and it uses WEP security. I have connected numerous phones and other devices to this network. This is the first time I have had trouble connecting.

I have solved my own problem. I did a repair using PC Companion and everything works as it should now.

HELP: No WiFi Error: DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE

Hi,
I'm at a conference and I've lost wifi access from my XPZ (C6603). I'm on stock 4.2.2 build 10.3.1.A.2.67
The phone connects to the main network, but then there's no internet access. My colleague has a XPS and connects without a problem and mine was working yesterday. I have access when connecting through LTE but I'm paying roaming
Google chrome tells me error: DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE. I have tried many things already google search for the problem, restart phone several times, forget network, changes in DNS from DHC to static, ...
Any solution before trying to re-install the phone firmware?
Thanks a lot!:crying:

In the meantime, the problem solved by itself. When I returned to the hotel I had no problem in connecting to the hotel's wifi and then the next day I could connect at the conference site.
So it seems that some how the problem is in between the phone and the router that gets stuck to an IP address and the solution passes trough either connecting to a different hotspot or reseting the routers.

As it turns out for my situation is that the hospital has been having Internet issues. Perhaps all they need to do is reset the router. Considering I'm hooked up to several machines, I'll continue to use my mobile data.
