Help Help - Can't connect to my wifi network after Froyo update

[wagga321]

This didn't work for me today when my HTC Desire suddenly decided it would no longer connect to my home wifi network. Sleep = "never" was already in force.

What did work was changing the channel on my router. It had been using channel 3 but I read elsewhere that the Desire likes channels 11 and 6, so I changed the router to 11, rebooted it, and voila - everything's working again. I hope this might help someone else who has the same problem.

Beats me why it suddenly all stopped working in the first place, though, after months with no problems.

It worked for me tooo!

I have used the Wifi-connection the day after I bought it, no problems! The next day it doesn't work anymore (after installing HTC Sync?). I have tried several things like static IP-addr and changing the router channel from 6 to 11: I still do not get connection, it is broken the whole time and scans again and again.....Someone with a brilliant idea?

I was having the same issue connecting to an Airport Express with Froyo running on a Motorola Atrix. Initially the wireless router was in WEP mode and would not connect. I changed it to WPA/WPA2 and that didn't work. Then I changed it from channel 1 (automatic) to channel 11 and that didn't work. Then I changed it to WPA2 and that did the trick! I didn't try changing it back to channel 1 (automatic).

Strange, but true: after changing the SIM-card with another and put back the old one, it works! Maybe you always have to reset after changing the Wifi-parameters? Before changing, it keeps on scanning, broke and reconnect, also on another open Wifi, not only at home.

I tried all of the above suggestions in a shot-gun approach to solve this ridiculously annoying issue. In addition, I restored factory setting on the router and it still didn't work. Finally, I changed the SSID and BAM, it worked!

Hi,
Been reading these threads and saw yours, must mean you may have a different problem. I picked up on this post as I was also having issues connecting my Motorola to my Linksys.
I have several other pieces of equipment connecting via wireless without any issues, so I didn't want to make any drastic changes that would affect the others. I tried different security modes on the router, but that did not work either. What did work for me was that I enabled SSID Broadcast in the Basic Wireless Settings tab in the router, using the same WEP security mode without affecting the other equipment.

The original Galaxy? You might want to head over to the Galaxy subforum: Samsung Galaxy S - Android Forums, they should be able to assist (this is the Desire HD section).

I found the instructions below and they worked for me.
I have a galaxy nexus thats would not connect to my wifi at home. I have a microsoft mn-700 router and i tried all the tips on this thread but nothing worked. I kept getting the same obtaining ip address message when i tried to connect to my wifi.

Hope it helps



We can prob get you connected without needing the admin password - you should get it for future needs anyway.

Hold the Thrive in portrait mode so the keyboard does not hide the settings Go to Settings >> Wireless and Networks >> Wi-Fi settings >> tap your network name, Tap FORGET Now when your network name shows up again under wifi settings ....

Select security type Enter password, it is case sensitive.

tap the triangle where it says DHCP, select "static"

Enter 192.168.2.38

the "connect" is greyed out .... right?

Enter gateway 192.168.2.1

RE-ENTER prefix 24 (all the greyed out fields must be re-entered, even if the info is the same)

Enter DNS2 192.168.2.1

Enter DNS2 192.168.2.1

You have no more greyed out fields correct?, and CONNECT brightened up again? Correct?

tap CONNECT you should be connected to the network in-house, (but not be necessarily be able to access the internet).

Only if you are not yet accessing the internet, , power down (UNPLUG) your modem for 20 seconds, and plug it in again, let it re-boot. (do not reset it.)

Everything working now?

Just wanted to chime in and say this method WORKED completely for me, and after months of research, has been the ONLY one that has worked.

It seems the Microsoft MN-700 router is specific to this problem. All >Gingerbread devices were incompatible with my router until I manually did this, bypassing DHCP.

Thank you!
