Note4, N910T3, rooted, but otherwise stock Android 5.1.1 from T-Mobile/Samsung's OTA update. Having trouble with WiFi and static IP:
If I use DHCP, WiFi works fine. It'll remember my LAN's WiFi password and auto-connect when available.
However, problems occur when I try to use a static IP (yes, I have reason to want a static IP within my LAN, but the reasons aren't relevant to the issue here):
First (this is the smaller issue, but still goofy and annoying), when I go to "Modify Network Config" Android won't allow me to set a static ip unless I'm already connected to the given network. It'll let me change "IP settings" from "DHCP" to "Static", but the "IP address" setting is greyed out. I have to connect using DHCP first, only then will it allow me to change the "IP address" setting for a static IP.
But here's the far bigger problem: Once I have worked around that issue and actually set a static IP, the next time I leave the network and come back (or just turn WiFi off and back on) it no longer auto-connects. When I try to manually connect, it's forgotten both the WiFi password and the static IP setting.
How can I make Android remember WiFi network settings AND use a static IP for a given connection?
Nothing at all? This is a major pain, and it's bizarre that Android apperently can't even get something as basic as static ip working realiably.

I can connect my WLAN at home without problems. But a DHCP server is running there.
At work I have WLAN to but without DHCP server so I need to set a static IP.
So how can I set dynamic IP for WLAN at home and static IP for WLAN at work?
On Wifi settings first card I can see both WLAN (home and work). I habe tried to set "home" on "internet" and "work" on "firm" (network device setting).
On the second card I can select "internet" and "firm" as network devices. For "internet" I have selected "dynamic IP" and for "firm" it is "static IP" with the right addresses.
But if I want to connect the WLAN at work I cant get a connection. And I cant see the static IP set on network device (it shows 0.0.0.0 every time).
Any help? Have nothing found at manual und nothing here with search.
Thx & regards,
Purzel
Same here.
I have to set up a manual wlan (IP and DNS). How?
TNX
any news ?
You cannot set Static or Dynamic DNS per connection.
The WiFi adapter is either running in DHCP mode, or static IP mode.
you'll have to change it every time you connect.
When yopu went into the network card while set to internet, you set it to dynamic.
when you then went into it while set to work, you set it to static.
when you set it back to internet, it stayed at static as that was the last change you made.
there may be some third party stuff out there that will allow you to do what you want, but i don't know of any of the top of my head as i've never had to use any.
Hi.
I have a question to the network adapter settings.
At home i use a static ip to connect to WLAN. But if i try to connect to the internet via GPRS-Connection, it failed. When i set the network adapter to dynamic ip, the GPRS-Connection works. Is it right, that the GPRS-Connection use the same network adapter that i use for the WiFi ?!
Perhaps i only must change the settings and everthing is good
thx

There is currently no way to set a Static IP address in Windows Phone 7, you'll have to wait for an update to come out that allows this.

You shouldn't need to manually configure your IP for the phone, the router will most likely assign your phone one if your DHCP is enabled (default on most routers). If you are wanting to connect it to your current home network and you have a wireless router, first you will need to go into the router configuration and set it to broadcast your SSID (if not already enabled). At this time the HD7 cannot connect to hidden networks (I don't see a point in hiding your SSID anyway, use better encryption, and a strong password with numbers, letters[upper and lower case], and symbols[if supported]). You can then use you HD7 to connect to your home network, once connected to your network go back into the router and look at your network. It should list all the devices currently connected to the network along with their currently assigned IP addresses. If you really need to, now that you know what IP address your router has assigned to your phone you can set your router to give your phone a static IP but really as long as you leave the router broadcasting the SSID your phone should have no problem connecting to the WiFi it should save the key and SSID, and it will get a new IP at regular intervals.

i have an adsl modem that connect to pc through the router,my modem has an IP and my router has another one,my phone get the router IP for Gateway,so i cant reach Internet in my phone,i need to change gateway of my phone to reach to internet and i dont know how to do that
I have problem: My wifi signal drop every 60 secs approximately,on every stock rom from JVQ to the newest JVU. Last rom where wifi works great was JVQ after that version i have same problem in every single STOCK rom,JVZ,JW1,JVU... (on CM7,ICS port,MIUI I dont have that problem).
Anyone know how can i fix it? (sorry if my english is not to good)
Known problem. There is a workaround however. Set your wifi routers dhcp lease time from 0 (or never) to, for example, 120 mins. Also remove ip address reservation (if set) in your routers settings.
Used to have the same problem at android 2.2, but the 2.3.3 update fixed it. I used to assign a static IP to my device at home, that helped for the time being.
I have INTRACOM JetSpeed IAD-Wp2 router and cant find non of these settings.
Try going to 192.168.1.1 in your webbrowser on your pc, and try getting access with username and password "admin". That should allow you to configure some settings, including assigning a certain IP address to your phone.
On your phone, go to wifi settings, advanced, and enable "Use static IP address". Then configure it's settings.
You should refer to the routers manual to find out the setting for the dhcp lease time and ip address reservation. Routers and their names for these settings can differ slightly from each other.
If you set static ip in your phones wifi settings, you may not be able to use wifi anywhere but in your home network.
So the problem is my router or the phone? All these solutions that you have proposed are not long-term right? It will help me just when I am at home but if I go out somewhere that settings will not be of some help right?
The settings I posted were looked up specifically for your router, milanche911. But indeed, it'll only fix it when you're at home; you'll have to turn using a static IP off if you're elsewhere.
Does it happen to you no matter what router you use? I only had it happen to me at home, at other people's places things were fine.
try this application
it is WiFi scanner and signal checker... in config is setting scan Frequency 0-30 seconds and including the radar and WiFi sources GPS locator ...
good luck.

If the issue is the "wifi bug" which has been covered in the leaked rom threads, the culprit is the phone.
As a long-term solution, there's no harm in setting the wifi routers dhcp lease time to finite value and removing the address reservation, so that the router is not forced to give your phone always the same ip. At this point, you should not change the ip to static in your phones settings, this is what will prevent you using wifi outside your home.
Now you should find a way to check these settings in your routers configuration.
Thank you people! Thank you for your help, the problem was that I had been logging into the router settings with admin / admin and I got the complete setup for just a basic settings. Trick was that I log in with admin / tzlkisonpk and thus get full router settings where I finally found the "lease time" setting. Configured for two hours and now everything is fine. Thank a lot once again! Cheers!
Glad it worked out
tap on the keypad of your phone - >*#*# 4636 # * # * and Wi-Fi information, you can find something to help ...
Work WiFi... Our company uses a static IP. Well I can not get my phone to connect to the internet. The phone will connect to the router. It will obtain an IP but it will not connect to the internet. I've gone in changed settings in the phone to static IP.. used the DNS in the router as well as Google DNS and still no luck.. ios devices hook up to this router just fine after changing their static IP settings.. Any thoughts??
Whether you get an internet connection or not - assuming you're using the right password, encryption, mask, etc., is up to the settings in he router. Ask the network admin to set your phone's IP address and MAC address to get a full connection.
Hi, I have a rooted ME173X with Android 4.2.2.
Although I have DHCP enabled, I recently can't connect to my Wifi anymore. The problem seems to be that the following IPs seem to be preset by the system and can't seem to be overridden:
IP address: 192.168.1.128 (should be something like 192.168.0.128)
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (should be 192.168.0.1)
I can temporarily connect to my Wifi by manually switching off DHCP and typing in the correct values, in which case the erroneous addresses are visible in grey in the form. This fix works until the next reboot.
Any idea how I can fix this? How can I get DHCP to chose the proper IP addresses again? Many thanks for your consideration! :fingers-crossed:
