WIFI "disabled" message

dljones33 · December 8th, 2012, 08:42 PM

So I got a new ATT Avail and trying to connect to my home WIFI. I enter the WEP key and select connect. After several minutes I get the message "remembered" then "disabled, secured with WEP." So, I can't connect to my home WIFI. Any help?

"No. It is a problem with Android. If you have root there it's a fix. Go to ect/dhcpcd/ & change the permission of dhcpcd-hooks folder to rwx for all users."

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, I have no idea what you are talking about here. Can you please clarify?

Thanks!

I'm out of ideas too! I have tried:

reseting the base station
reseting the phone
removing the battery
restoring defaults
disabling firewalls
disabling the WEP key
adding a wifi network on the phone
changing the wireless mode

...all with the same results. The phone spends several minutes "obtaining the ip address" flashes "remembered" then sticks on "disabled."
