Wi-Fi problem

I have a brand new tilt that I got last night and I am unable to connect to my wireless network. When I enable wi-fi in my Wireless Manager, it prompts me to connect to my router or to my PS3. I choose my router, set it to connect to 'Work' (used to do this on WM2003/WM5) and enter my WEP key.
After the WEP key is entered, I see that it is connecting, but then it just goes back to the network being available.
I have tried changing the wireless power to high, deleted the settings and re-entered them. Rebooted the phone with a hard reset, as well as my router, and I am still unable to connect.
Any thoughts?

what about setting it to connect to "The Internet" instead of Work? that's how i have mine and it works flawlessly...

I get the same results. In 'Start' > 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'Wi-Fi' I see the network I want to connect to. I highlight it and click 'Connect' and it says 'Connecting' for a few moments. Instead of moving to 'Connected' it just goes back to saying 'Available'.
I have tried every combination of 'Work' or 'The Internet' that I can find, and still no luck. I tried connecting to a neighbor's unsecured wireless network and got the same results, so I know it's not the WEP. On a side note, my Dell Axim X50 with WM5 connects to both networks just fine.

this happens to my phone every so often but a soft-reset or cycling the WiFi in the comm manageer usually fixes it...

Unfortunately, that hasn't worked for me. I have done soft resets, hard resets, and still it doesn't want to work. I'm going to try at my office tomorrow when I get there and see if that makes a difference, but I don't have high hopes at the moment.
I've read that some routers might be problematic, so I am wondering if anyone has tried the Linksys WRT100N with their Tilt. If so, was there anything special that was done to get it working?

same exact problem with my wi-fi... except the 1st day i got my tilt, the wi-fi was working flawless while hooked up through usb to my laptop.. now its not working at all. It just tries to connect and nothing happened. I may even have the same exact router lol. Its an old linksys

I think it's the Wireless-N router at home. I am at work on a WAP54G and it's working fine. PIE launches, I can see my network and Pocket Putty hits the servers I need it to. Unfortunately, that means I get to mess with the router at home, but fortunately it means there is nothing wrong with the tilt.

Kaiser Wifi jumping all over the place

Hi,
I recently upgraded to WM6.1 Rom and have several wireless Networks that i access in the same location.
I have noticed that it tries to connect to the strongest then will flip and try another without giving it sufficient time to receive an IP address.
Is there anything i can do?
Thanks

I have a similar problem.
1. I go to the comm manager and enable wifi
2. I go to Settings-> Wireless LAN
3. I get a screen that has:
SSID
an option to change the network
Mode
BSSID
Tx Rate
Rx Rate
Channel
signal quality
4. This screen will switch between showing the network that I am trying to connect with: SSID, mode, ESSID, and channel all filled in correctly as well the signal quality being almost 100% and no network.
5. It may be worth noting that when there is no network listed the channel changes.
6. I have tried rebooting both the phone and the router.
I am using the official WM6.1 ROM. I have tried WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK and I have double checked my key multiple times. I have tried configuring the phone to use TKIP and AES keys.
Does anyone have any ideas?

OK, I made a couple of changes but my current setup is:
WPA2
AES key
Wireless g/n mode
Dlink DIR-655 router
visible SSID
and everything seems to be working. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the passkey was bad originally although I had tried it a couple of times.

[Q] WiFi problem: stuck on "getting IP address"

I have had my Tab for 2 weeks now.
At home I had no problem to connect to my WiFi network for 1 week: then suddenly the Tab would not connect and would remain stuck on “getting IP address…”.
I changed from WPA to WEP to WPA2 PSK with no luck
But if I go to a static IP, then I have no problem to connect.
On my office “public” WiFi network, exactly the same problem: it worked for a week and then bingo stuck on “getting IP address…”. Again going to static IP solved the connection problem.
My question is: how do you delete a network from the list? It seems to me that the Tab keeps an IP address in memory and if ever that address is taken by another device, it gets stuck!
Any advice would be appreciated.

I had this exact same issue on the same day I bought my Sprint Galaxy Tab (11/14). I did a hard reset that afternoon, and I haven't experienced the issue since. I'd already had all of my apps downloaded, and settings tweaked, so hard resetting was kind of annoying. I hope this doesn't come up again.

Yep sounds familiar, my Thomson Speedtouch 780i runs on a old firmware which gives me same issue with the Tab, had to run with no security. If you decide to run with no security turn off broadcasting..or update firmware/router..

My router is quite recent and has the latest firmware.
All my toys (iPad, Dell Streak, HD2 together with 3 PCs) connect without any problem.
The Tab had no problem either for a week.
Then for unknown reason no way to connect unless using a static IP.
And as I have not found a way to delete the network in memory (short of doing a hard reset)I am stuck.
And now same problem arises with office netxork:-(

Yeah just do a factory reset in privacy settings i think

My Tab is doing the same thing now. I can't do a hard reset....is there another solution?

Ugh, I have the same issue! Had it for 2 days and all of the sudden it's stuck on Getting IP address from... Resetting to factory defaults was depressing. I wish there was another way!

It also happened to me when I was on vacation at my relatives home. The tab would work for a day or two and then be stuck at that message. I had no issues with doing a factory reset as it was still new. But then I started using the static IP trick and that worked. Now I'm back at home and I don't have this issue at all. Been using it for a week with my wifi and all is well.
Nothing was actually working: restarting the router, forgetting the network, creating the network manually, changing the authentication method, etc.
I'm sure its was an issue with the router at my relatives home, but still why was my Nexus one and Laptop connecting with no problem???
For those who are having the problem, use a static IP for the time being, you don't have to reset.

I ended up switching to Channel 1 on the router at home, and haven't had any problems since. Chose Channel 1 after running WiFi Analyzer.

having this same problem. I've messed with WEP vis WPA and tried static IP. Using a verizon fios router. any help?

Bah, it happened again! Now I really dont want to reset

Same issue here ...
I can get WIFI at Starbucks but not at home ( Open-WRT on linksys )
I wonder if it depends on SIM card being inserted?

Mine is a Verizon FioS router as well, at work. Can get on fine at home or anywhere else. My iPad had a problem here forgetting the network but I could at least reconnect. This is doing exactly like you guys.
I wouldn't even care that much except when I'm inside the office I can only pull in Edge data. Ugh.

I had to change wireless settings on my Linksys - most changes were to disable some fanny things like "afterburner" - and setup wap2 for security to have a stable wifi.

I've had the same problem with my TMobile Galaxy Tab. All I do is to turn off Wifi in the Settings app, then turn it on again. I am usually able to snarf an IP address straight away after that.
It also helps to just turn the device on and then off again. it boots so fast that it isn't too annoying.

I had similar problem at home. My DHCP server had wrong time set. After setting the time on DHCP server correctly everything is back to normal.

i hav a tab on tmobile love it not sure if i had the same issuse as u guys tho the issuse i had was it would work without any problems im talkin about wifi then the next day the wifi doesnt want to lock onto the wifi it would search then drop to start serchin again , now wat i learned is sum apps require wifi to work because high data at the same time it changes sumthing in ur wifi settings after using the app the first time which would require u to master reset the device to resolve the issue the program that was doin it for me was frostwire

same here
my version of the same problem appeared when i changed the static IP of my home router (AVM Fritz!Box 7170). before that i always got a dynamic IP through DHCP on my galaxy tab.
After changing the router IP i only could connect with a static IP.
if i use a different WIFI network instead, DHCP is working as expected.
in my opinion the problem is with the firmware storing the network settings and with no possibility of deleting it completely. a hard reset cannot be the solution...
does anybody of you know if this problem occurs on other froyo-based devices also? is there a way of deleting network settings in a working way?

Had the same problem, EU TAB white Stock 2.2 rooted spot connecting to my main Wifi but connects to 3 or 4 other dhcp APs.
Have a htc Desire whit stock 2.2 + rooted and never had that problem.
In the end i hardreset Tab and no problems 1week and counting.
EDIT
FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Happen again... im not going to hardreset again, im looking for a more permanent solution

Had the same problem. I have the Verizon FIOS router. The solution is actually easy. Just drain the battery of the Tab. Charge it to full and turn the Tab on. I think the Tab really "forgets" the old network after this kind of restart. No need to reset your Tab to the factory settings.

[Q] I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced set to NEVER off)

I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced settings set to NEVER off)
I just upgraded to a Virgin Media Superhub (WIFI and Cable modem built in)
I set the WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)"
is this causing the problem
I am trying "WPAPSK2 AES" today to see if it fixes it?
Me and my house mate have a galaxy S and both phones are doing it.
is it my WIFI router or is it the Galaxy S's at fault here
apologies if this has been covered, i did a search but wasn't sure what to search for about this.
Cheers

@anyone
I tried WIFI tether and WIFI fixer apps but no joy
I had a WIFI connection before with my Netgear router in WEP. The super hub is a netgear router, i cant understand whats causing the problems.
its just connecting and disconnecting .
when ui set it up from scratch sometimes it works until i go out of range, then goes the connect disconnect route...
Also I unplugged the modem and turned SSID on (it found it and stayed locked) and then SSID off (it appeared to keep connection) ...? is this a clue as to why it keeps connect disconnect?
Any help welcome cheers

i solved this but I dont know how
i set up both to
WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)
phone to wpa psk2
and then revealed the ssid in the modem. left it for a bit, then hid my SSID
it's worked properly for a few days now.
maybe it needed to do something to lock on?
....now if i could get my MMS working another story

I have the same problem... It's driving me crazy

all i know is this
get rid of juice defender if it's on
Turning The Virgin super hub on and off solves the problem temporarily.. faster than reboot the phone.
if your phone isn't rooted, don't enter the WIFI settings twice it can corrupt the wifi complexly needing a master reset!
also i set the Virgin hub to
WPA auto Broadcast SSID
also on Virgin Hub
settings
advanced settings
content filtering services
untick firewall and ip flood
i think broadcast SSID on your WIFI unit fixes it

Reflash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

are your setting for the phone and WIFI the same as the ones i posted above on the other posts?

I flashed CM7 and it works perfectly
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
give it a try...(you need to be rooted)

do you know your firmware version? i have the same problem. ive tested and the wifi sleep policy doesnt work at all!
my wifi reconnects every 59 seconds with sleep set to never. its the same with sleep set to never when plugged in. sleep when screen turns off doesnt work and is exactly the same, reconnects every 59 seconds and doesnt sleep at all. not as far as ive seen (watched for around a quarter of an hour before getting very bored). I dont know if this is anything to do with it but if you watch the WIFI scanning the Connection resets after every 10th scan. Im using a Belkin router but as said ive tried on several different WiFI connections and the drop out is always the same.
im using jvt firmware and semaphore kernel.
my phone was froyo before and wireless was fine before flashing.
ive spent a week on google with this. there are hundreds of threads and even vids on youtube. as yet though no fix.
ive changed router settings at home. with no improvement. the reconnection happens whenever im on wifi and i cant see mcdonalds letting me rummage through their router.
As far as i can figure the problem started in the jvs firmware. I havent tried jvs but there are a couple of google results saying that since updating to jvs wireless reconnects constantly.
same as above......
HELP!!!!!!!
Its driving me mad!
FIXED at home. Changed Belkin Routers Lease Time from "Forever" to "1 Hour". Guess outside connections will depend on what the Routers Lease times are set up as.
However the "Stop WiFi when screen turns off" still doesnt turn off Wifi at all (as far as I can see, as now tested for over an hour).

i have such a ****ty router and cant even set up the lease time
well im going back to jvr..
i believe they changed some wifi drivers in jvs and jvt and thats why some phones get this bug..

Using wifi causes router to lose connection

At first I thought I may have had a faulty device, but I've been messing around and testing things, and I've concluded that my phone is causing my wifi router to lose connectivity. If I turn the wifi off on my HTC the router works fine with all other devices (laptop, iphone5, google tv) but once I turn the wifi on I lose connection briefly. I connect to wifi fine and my router shows a stable connection, but as soon as I start to browse or stream anything I will lose connection for about 20 seconds across all devices. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to networks, so I'm a bit dumbfounded. I've tried changing DNS servers, set IP to static, reserved DHCP in my router settings, but nothing is working. Does anybody have any suggestions?
