Hey guys. So I attend a university that requires you to sign in with a username and password when connecting with the wifi. I have a Nexus 7 (unrooted), and a MacBook Air. My Moto X is rooted but with everything stock. Every time I try to connect to the network at my school, the signal suddenly drops to 1 bar, and it is unable to connect. My Nexus 7 doesn't exhibit this behavior, and my computer connects just fine. Do any of you have an idea of how I could fix this? Could it possibly be that the network is preventing me from connecting because my phone is rooted? Thanks.

Check your Phase2 authentication. Long press on your connection and hit Modify Network. You may have to configure 2 security settings.

What the hell. I changed the Phase2 and then the network signal bumped up but it still wouldn't connect, so I put it back on the default of "none" and now the signal is full and connected. Thanks a lot man. This is awesome.

Specifically, my D-Link Wireless N 150 Router
I was able to get by the opening screen by connecting with my neighbor's open wifi.
With my own, I input the correct password, and it showed "Connecting" for 3 seconds, then just ignores it and says "Saved"
This is frustrating, as my laptop and HTC Desire S works perfectly fine. What can I do? I even reset the router to have no password, and it still doesn't work. It stops trying to connect and just says "Saved"
sigh.. nothing I try works.
So now my laptop is connected to my WIFI
my phone is connect to internet via USB to my laptop
and my Nexus 7 is connected to the hotspot created by my phone -_____-
The only WIFI it won't connect to is my own. This is ridiculous
What security settings are you using, encoding on your access point.
I tested a lot of access points at the house and have not had issues with any of them.

Also, have you just simply rebooted your router. Since it connects to others without issue.
Even though your laptop connects, it already had that connection. And the router may not want to give out another address via dhcp.. Just try unplugging router, and plugging it back in and then reconnect. Stupid as it sounds.

I had a similar issue, mine would tether to my phone but not connect to my home wifi. It would show as "connecting" then would say "saved". I hit the reset button on my router and it connected with no problem after that, might want to give that a shot and see if it works. The rest button on my router was on the back and needed a paperclip to push it.
Try WPS if you have it.
Ok, disregard this thread, I'm a fool :silly:
Even after disabling the password I still couldn't connect. While I was showering just now, I remembered why:
2 months ago my neighbors were stealing my WIFI.. so i specifically only allowed the IP of my laptop and phone.
No wonder why it could not connect at all even without password
Sorry for the new thread guys. Just got my Nexus 7 for a few hours, and it's perfect. The left side of the screen is raised a little, but I can ignore it just fine. The screen has no dead pixels and I'm happy with it.
Thanks all!
Good to know it was something simple. Might want to change the OP subject to Solved.
Hello there. Working in a Hotel and the IT person just restarted the Router for the WiFi. My phone though looks like its stuck on the old IP and will not pick a new one automatically. Proxy is in auto, DHCP is auto. The network is open. An old SG 2 is ok, an iPhone is also ok. My One not. Any ideas? I have tried restarting, new network search etc but nothing.

Try going into the area with Wi-Fi SSID's are listed, hold down the connection you're trying to connect to, and click "Forget Network". This should clear out whatever settings on the phone side preventing it from connecting. Might also have to reset the router one more time.

Thank you. Did that already couple of times (SSIDs). Mystery is still remaining, but problem was solved after rebooting the router. Although any other mobile device (iphones and smartphones) had no problem... thanks anyway.
I am able to connect to my home WiFi but not able to ping any thing on the network as such I can not get access to the internet.
A few times I have turn off the WiFi connection and then hours later turned it back on and it's worked for a few minutes and then stopped working.
I am on viperone Rom and have been looking at a number of threads but nothing yet has fixed it.
Any ideas ?
All other devices on network can access the internet , I tweaked a few settings in to Rom to try and force WiFi N and then turned on WiFi
Internet lasted for about a minute before it dropped and pages timed out
.
WiFi shows as connected but no internet

Perhaps try a couple of the network apps (like fing) on playstore and see if you can gather more information
Just as quickly as the problem appeared it's now gone . I have not made any real changes so not sure why it's working again.
But thanks for your help
I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.

Randomly, but always, my wifi will disconnect. I have reset network settings. Reset all phone settings. Rebooted router. Still happening. My pixel is just fine on same network. ?
Totally stock on ATT. No mods at all

dhcp issue? looks like phone can connect but can't receive an ip. or an ip conflic with a manualy bound ip on a device in the network.
does it do it on all wifi access points? or only a specific one?

replicate else where. then you will know if its device or your network
Mine does this also.
Was starting to question my network as well. We run a Verizon hotspot with unlimited data for our home wifi since there are no other options in our rural area for actual high speed internet.
I am really leaning towards a software issue,hopefully fixed by an update, since no other phones, S7's and an apple, have issues.

Extremely frustrating ? I've tried everything
Does it only happen at home? If it does, what's the security of your router set to? TKIP+AES can cause issues on 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ routers especially if they are older models of 2+ years.
Try powering off your router for 2 minutes and then turn it back off. I had to do that because Comcast Xfinity!!!??
