Sometimes I am connected to the home network but with no internet access.
In terminal I tried to ping my router, but with no success. I can use wireless home network/have internet access from other devices at the same time.
If I turn off WiFi and I can reach the internet by mobile network.
Looks like the phone thinks that it is connected to the network but it isn't.
I have solved the problem by forgetting the network and afterwards connecting to it again, but I would like to know why and how it happened.

Hi guys,
I have this problem - I use wifi at home for a while. Then go outside and the phone connects to my 3g ISP and then when I get home with wifi available I can disconnect from the 3g network, but I can't connect to the wifi without resetting the device. I can see that it connects to my home wifi, but it is not using it and the wifi icon in not shown in the taskbar (until reset).
Any idea what is causing that?
Has anybody had any success with this? I have a wireless N router and just got a wireless N repeater in my home.
My captivate will connect just fine to the network when the repeater is unplugged. However, when I plug in the repeater my phone's wifi connection starts to act funny. I connect to the wifi and have a very strong signal, but I am unable to do anything on the internet. Web pages won't load, Pandora won't connect.
Long story short, the phone sees the network, but it doesn't know whether to communicate with my router or my repeater.
All other wireless devices on my network seem to work fine with the repeater, it's just my Captivate that is having this problem. I have no other phones to test it with, though.
Are you running stock? I seem to recall it having an issue with netmasks that weren't 255.255.255.0. You may want to check netmask in both the router's settings and the phone's Wi-Fi settings to ensure they match.
Is your NAT filtering turned off on both devices ?
Thanks! I'll look into both of these options when I get home tonight.
I'm not running stock, I'm running Cognition v2.3b6, btw.
not sure if anyone had this same problem. I searched the forum but looks like i'm the only who has this problem.
my O2x can easily obtain and connect to my home WIFI network. the strength is good to excellent. but it couldn't connect to internet at all. All other devices can connect to internet thru this network except O2x. I look from the router setup and it can see that O2x is indeed connected. This problem started about a few days ago where before that (since last month) it could connect the internet but when the screen was off, i needed to reestablish the connection with my home wifi. Now, it connects easily but no connection to internet. I go to other network (my brother's wifi), O2x can easily connect and use internet although both networks are pretty similar in settings.
any idea to solve this? or workaround it?
thanks
Try running traceroute in a terminal window from your phone?
Where does the traffic die?
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?
I tried to connect my phone with wifi connection of my laptop. It is connecting well but no internet access is there. And every time I have to enter password for the connection because my device is not able to save the password of the network. So please suggest me any solution of this.
