No, but you should be able to set up a vpn to your house, and use that to browse the net.

Yea that'd be nice to know, I hate trying to use the crappy 4g 1 bar reception at my school when there's a perfectly good wifi network there.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

It isn't a quick reply kinda thing. Google is your friend.
Basically, you set up a VPN server on your home machine, leave it on, and configure your phone to connect to it via your school internet connection. You are tunneling past their connection and firewall. All they see is the connection to home.

I've looked but can't seem to find something maybe I could have Comcast do it
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

No, Comcast can't do it. If you can't set up a VPN, you really don't have the ability to go after firewalls.
Look up open source Virtual Private Network, read, learn, implement, grow.
Or, just deal with the restrictions or your cellular data connection.

Found an app called tigervpns it works

Anyone else having major issues with wi-fi connectivity?

Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.

I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

Continued phone issues

How many times can one return a phone for replacement for the same issue? At some point can I request a different device? I'm on my second "one" and it has the same connectivity issues my first one had. Can I at some point ask for a different phone.

You haven't described the type of issue that you're having. Remember, the bars only indicate voice signal strength.

3 swaps within 1 year. This would be through Asurion. At the Sprint store they will swap it 3 times before offering you a comparable model. If you want to keep the same phone then they can swap it as many times, in store, as you would like.

I can be using various apps like poker F.B or even the browser. Take the internet for instance. I can be using it and at any time it will loose connection. Same with playing poker. While I usually get connected within a minute, it's still annoying. I can't tell that I have good connection cause when it is on it loads pages fairly quick.

I get that a lot on my Note 2. Usually its the phone switching back and forth from ehrpd to 1xrtt. Either your towers are being worked on or are over capacity like mine.. Worst data experience ever. After 10yrs I might bite the bullet and switch carriers, can't take it any longer..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Until your area is complete or a Radio update is released your phone will continue to act like this..Only way I could make mine stable was to run it in CDMA mode only and completely ignore 4G until more towers fill the gaps.

I get the same issue and have come to find a workaround that fixes it. This only works for 3G, but if you switch your network settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only you won't have any issues. I never get the issues that you explain while on 4G, but I constantly get them on 3G. Get that fix a try and let me know if it works :good:

Go into settings them power and turn off data sleep.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Call sprint. Have them verify your SIM ID and UICC ID under settings/about/Phone Identity. Make sure they have the same number on your account as the phone. They may argue with you that the number doesn't matter accept for International but make them check anyways. If you have 4G in your area it will matter.....or even if its just Network Vision. Just keep pressing them to verify. If they are different have them connect you to activation's and have them fix it.

[Q] Weird Wi-fi issue

I love this phone but have one strange concern, I've noticed that it likes to say my Wi fi is unstable yet I know it's perfectly stable has anybody seen this or experience it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes. I have similar problems with my wifi if I have it attached to my 5GHz wireless network that I know works fine.
It is particularly bad if the router is in N+AC mode.
Once I switched onto a 2.4GHz wireless network I haven't had the problem since.
For whatever reason my note 3 wifi has been really flaky on 5GHz.
I brought this up in the stupid questions thread a few days ago.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

I got this error a lot the first couple of days. I played with the wifi settings a lot, and it seems to have "settled" down.
I was getting "unstable" error sitting feet away from my router. However, I just walked around 200 feet away from wifi at work and noticed it was still connected.
Edit:spoke too soon. Doing the same thing now.

the weird thing is is that it never loses the connection and my wifi speeds stay consistent at 64mbps

I get it a lot... I tried it with my 5g and it happens once or twice a day. The 2.4 ghz is even worse it happens about 7-10 times a day. I used my MiFi and it was 3 ft from my phone and it did it as well. Not sure the cause.. I have auto switch and Bluetooth off

This has happen to me a few times also. When It happened I looked at the connection in settings and it says very strong........but yet unstable...that doesn't make sense.

yea this happened to me..never had a wifi issue on any device but I refreshed my modem & router now all is good
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

If you disable this, it will stop prompting you about that and will also stay connected to not so great WiFi (if you have crappy WiFi).

All wifi has unstable times. What ahent929 said to do is correct.
This phone is designed to detect a drop in the signal. That's why it says it's unstable. Even if you have the absolute best router in the world, keep in mind the other radio frequencies that are passing through yours as well vis a vis.

After official update to 7.0 from dp5 my n6 hates connecting to my router. My firestick, 2 HTC phones and Samsung galaxy tab connect just fine. Anyone having similar issues or is it a bug? It's driving me crazy, wait all this time for Google to get it ready and 2 days in it goes to s**t..

If it was the OTA from the preview, then you need a factory reset. All clean updates work nicely.

One of the first things I did. I had Xfinity out here today to check and it's all good, even upgraded modem. New connection and new modem didn't help.. it's not a major issue being it will pick up my neighbors open signal. Kinda glad I held off on Fi for now, screwed wifi wouldn't be good with that service

Is it on 5Ghz or 2Ghz? IIRC N6 can't connect to some certain channels on routers over 5Ghz unless you force your router to a N6 friendly channel.

You're welcome, and I'm glad it worked for you! Someone suggested that to me when I was having the same problem years ago. I don't remember specifically, but I think it was something to do with the phone's BT profile or ID changing enough that the router's security wouldn't recognize it as the same device. Changing the password and changing it back somehow reset everything and allowed it to connect as a new device.

can confirm, changing the "wireless network key" in the router was the only thing that worked, my device just refused to connect to wifi after I upgraded to 7.0, this shouldn't happen, there is a good number of people reporting this issue with the 5x and 6p it seems there's a problem with the drivers and returning to MM doesn't solve it
