At work I have an AP with a captive portal and Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, decided that when a portal is detected it will disconnect from the AP. I am trying to write a task which will automatically reconnect back to a disconnected AP and I have so far managed to pull the SSID that was disconnected from the notification but then realized there didn't seem to be a way to tell Tasker to connect to a specific SSID. Looking around I found out about SSID Selector and have so far had no luck getting an intent to work for it. Anybody else use SSID Selector that can tell me how the intent settings need to be setup?

I've got a couple of WiFi issues with my SX66 and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing them.
1. There doesn't seem to be a good way to enter my WPA Key. I used to be able to copy and paste it in the dialog but now paste has been disabled. Typing 63 bits is not fun.
2. After a reset my wireless network settings are gone, I have to retype my WPA key.
I can't navigate through the web when connected to wifi... it says connected and i get an ip address but every time i go to PIE it says connection has been lost can't find the page you were looking for.. over gprs it works fine..
Wifi seems to be okay except for the device off problem. When you turn off the device and wifi is on, it doesn't turn on again when you power on the phone.
My wireless settings don't go. I think the problem of having to re-select my "Internet" network that was with WM2003SE is now gone.
a frustrating problem I might say. I've connected to an "unsecured" Wifi connection, but when I open the web browser it shows me a blank page. I can't even update my weather program.
I did explore the Wifi settings previously. Did I messed-up with the Wifi settings?
*I've done a search here and nothing match the problem that I've encountered. Please re-direct me with a link if you found one
This may seem obvious, but does this "unsecured" network actually have internet access? Just because it's wifi doesn't mean it's connected to the net.
me and few buddies hanging at starbucks.. all of them having no problem on the wifi connection. is there any way to retrive back default settings without perform a hard reset?
really frustrating... anyone?
You can try to go to settings -> wireless lan -> power mode and put the cursor on "best performance"
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.
I am working to automate use of OpenVPN Connect with tasker such that coming home and connecting to my home WiFi network will disconnect the VPN and leaving my home WiFi network will connect the VPN on other WiFi networks. I have defined a task to disconnect the VPN and it works. The problem I am having is with the profile for my home WiFi network.
I created a profile detecting a connection to my home WiFi network by its SSID and MAC address which works fine when the VPN is not open. But when the VPN is open the profile is not active when connected to the home WiFi? Why is tasker not seeing the WiFi connection state when the VPN is open? If I run the task to disconnect the VPN manually the profile then goes active.
What am I missing? Why is an open VPN connection preventing tasker from detecting the WiFi connection?

In the WiFi connected context, change Active -> yes to Active -> any.

I would have thought that "any" would include cases where the specified network is not connected, but perhaps I am confused. I will try this and see.

Had the same issue. I stopped routing the network traffic through a VPN through Tasker and that fixed it. Whitelist Tasker in your VPN settings
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!
