Cannot connect to wifi router

hello guys.
My HD7 cannot connect to wifi router. After putting in the password, it keeps trying to connect and after one min throws an error that sorry couldnot connect to the wifi connection. I am using a simple wifi router and not any N router
Authentication type is WPEA2
Thanks in advance

I found this article ( i am not allowed to post link) which says something about a bug in HD7 and venue pro which doesnot allow them to connect to wifi. Any workaround guys

Wifi problem...
Hi,
What is your network SSID name?
I had the wifi problem with my HD7 while my network SSID name had mixed capital and lowercase characters like "GedikNet"
Try to change your network SSID name to all capital or all lowercase characters. (like "gediknet").
Good luck.
Bye.

ssid is SHARAD. still unable to connect

can't have hidden ssid
Hi, if your network is hidden, unhide it. The darn thing cannot connect to a hidden network. I know it is extreamly annoying but that is what Bill-ware gave us.
Hopefully, they will fix it in the update.

Initial connection to my home Wifi was unsuccessful. I had to restart the router and all went fine. Setup: WPA2/AES, b/g/n mixed and SSID is not hidden. It is a Linksys/Cisco device. Check your MAC filter if it blocks your device. DHCP server has to be turned on.

i did not have an issue with the wifi router... all i had to do is get my mac id as i filter my pc, notebook and pda by mac id..
i heard the ssid must be visible it cant connect to those hidden ones...
maybe lowering the security level will help as well..

HAVE YOU resolve the problem? i can not connect my home wifi as well.
thanks

Seen an app in the HTC hub called hidden wifi but not sure if it helps

[Q] My Note connects to WIFI but won't connect to the internet

Hi,
As the title says, I have created a new Wifi network at home. All my devices are connected and working without problems and my Note connects but once I try to use the internet it won't work.
It connects to the other wifi network at home without problems.
Reason I want it to connect to this network is because of its range.
The modem is a TP-Link W8960p and my wireless extender is the TP-Link WA830RE
Thank you in advance

Some questions here:
1) You use the extender with other devices as well and they get Internet connectivity without problems?
2) Check in the advanced wireless settings what IP adress you get and if gateway and subnet is correct.
3) I assume you use DHCP so you can check if the DHCP range is used up
4) Try to configure your Note with a static IP adress making sure all network config is correct.
Sorry this is just a starting point, i hope this gets you a clue why the Note can't access the Internet. Good luck!

First of all you need to check with another device, whether it is working or not

Also had the same problem, also was a wifi extender in play and i had to use a static ip so ittl work. The problem was that the dhcp was a different one as on the main router..something like that at least.

N6 connects to 5GHz wi-fi even when "2.4GHz only" is set

Under Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi frequency band, I have "2.4 GHz only" selected.
However, on my home network (which broadcasts the same SSID on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), it still frequently connects at 5GHz.
Has anybody else seen this, and is there any solution?
Also: is there any way (e.g. third party app) to set the phone to "Automatic" except when it's connected to my home wi-fi, when I only want it to connect at 2.4GHz?
(Why do I want to do this? I'm running AirDroid in local mode on my PC, which only connects at 2.4GHz. If my N6 connects at 5GHz, then AirDroid doesn't work as it regards the PC and phone as being on 2 different networks.)

I have wifi extender with 2.5ghz and 5ghz bands. They have slightly different names (ssid's)
When I set to 2.5 only, the name of the 5ghz network disappears from the list of available networks. Does yours do this?
Do you have unique SSID's for the two networks? (I'm not sure if it's required, but that's the way mine is set up)
Do you have a Custom kernel or rom?

I'm using the same SSID for both networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz) - this is convenient for all our other devices, as they can seamlessly connect to either frequency. It just appears as a single name in the list of networks.
I'm running Cataclysm.

The known ssid's with passwords are stored somewhere. Changing the settings to 2.4 GHz doesn't clear this
First choose 'forget' and connect again.
I've the same with Chromecast. Changing the name of the 5 GHz ssid can make 'connect life' easier.

Many thanks.
So that sounds as if I:
1) Set phone to "2.4GHz only"
2) "Forget" my home network
3) Reconnect my home network (at 2.4GHz)
4) Set phone back to "Automatic"
then my home network will always connect at 2.4GHz, but other networks that I encounter will connect at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
Is this correct?

Yes (on my N6)
But setting 'automatic' includes 5Ghz.
Think about changing ssid.
Wifi devices will choose by signal strength.

Nokia 8, wifi 5Ghz problem

i have a nokia 8 for a month now . im facing this problem on my wifi that only 2.4Ghz signal is displayed in my wifi list, it seems that wifi is not working properly because there are times that 5Ghz signal are displayed in my wifi list. its like sometimes it works sometimes not and take note that in using the same router with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Also my other phone (Xperia XZ) is working will with both 5Ghz and 2Ghz.

Some routers simply do not work properly with particular phones. I saw such behaviour in the past. Check your Nokia with different router. b

sir i already try on different router, modem ang portable router but i get the same issue.

Try resetting the phone.

i tried it already. reset wifi and data, also factory reset but nothing happened. i already returned to the nokia store. thanks your response sir.

I had the same problem and I think I found the solution,
first of all I tried rebooting and resetting my Nokia 8 and I didn't fix it, updateing the phone did not fix it, returning the phone for a replacement I found that the new phone showed the 5ghz band then an error message appeared and no 5ghz wifi were shown anymore!
the problem is when you set up a new phone you will choose a country, this option will set not only the language but other settings as well among them the channels used by 5ghz wifi in your country! the router might be set to a different country using different channel!
solution: access your router settings and check your wifi 5ghz advanced settings choose a country matching your phone settings and restart your router.
if this didn't work try an android app called wifi analyzer and check channel settings for 5ghz after choosing your country it will show you which channel are open for 5ghz in your country,pick a channel and return to your router 5ghz wlan advanced settings and change the channel option from automatic to your the one from wifi analyzer and apply and restart your router!
hopefully this will work

Exclude a specific AP MAC address on stock Wifi Picker but all APs have the same SSID

Hi guys!
I'm in an hospital because of a motorbike accident, and I have to stay there for at least 4 weeks.
In this hospital they have a Sophos APs infrastructure, with multiple APs with the same SSID.
I noticed that the closest AP to my hospital room is not well configured.
I receive from it the IP via DHCP, but I don't have internet access.
Same thing on both 2.4ghz and 5.2ghz bands of this AP.
I see the Mate10Pro trying to get the IP and probably checking internet access, and because there is no internet access it tries to switch between the two bands.
I enabled in System>Developer Options the "enable details on wifi SSID picker", so I can see the MAC address, the signal strenght in dB and the frequency.
With WPA Tester app in my Mate10Pro I get the list of all APs nearby with their MAC address, all APs as I said have the same SSID (in the Sophos APs they enabled the "roaming" function).
In WPA Tester I can choose a specific AP from the list and connect to it.
If I connect to the other ones than the closest one, they work fine, I have IP and also internet access.
Surely I will notice to hospital workers that they have a setting problem in their wifi infrastructure, and I will tell them the MAC address of the specific AP (the closest to my room) that have the problem.
But in the meantime, is there a way in stock Mate10Pro 8.0.0.145 no root to filter the MAC addresses of the AP the phone wifi connects to in the stock wifi picker?
I didn't find anything to do a such filter.
Because after a few minutes, the wifi picker switch to the closest AP, because it's signal strenght is more powerful than the one I connected to with WPA tester.
In the meantime I solved the problem by using NetSetMan software in my Win10 notebook with an Intel AC7265, in NetSetMan I created a profile with the specific MAC address of the closest AP that works, and then enabled the Win10 hotspot. My Mate10Pro connects to this hotspot.
Thanks for your help guys!
Have a great day!
