I have always been able to connect to any public wifi with no problems. At home I am unable to connect. I have Knology internet service with the Knology provided modem connected to a desk top Mac. For some reason Knology does not provide wireless routers so I purchased a Trendnet modem at Comp USA. I had no problem hooking it up and got an instant connection with my Dell laptop. When I turn the wifi on my Samsung GS2 phone I get the security sign on and it starts scanning. Then it says disconnected, then scanning, then disconnected and so on. any suggestions?

Help Can't Connect To Home WIFI

Typical problem with android devices. Reset your modemn and router. If problem still exist then download wifi fixer from the market. If the problem is still there then back up your data and do a factory reset.

agree with JayC although I would just do the factory reset (holding power button and volume up button at the same time) after you reset your modem if that doesn't fix the issue. Never tried the market app but did have initial problems with WiFi and did the factory reset which fixed the issue.

I tried resetting the modem and then went through all the settings, however I didn't change any of them, and now the phone will connect. I guess resetting the modem did the trick. Thanks.

I have the same issue and had this with my EVO 4g also, now my Epic 4G touch is doing the same thing, just says obtaining IP address then disconnects, then it rescans to obtain ip address then disconnects again
ill try to reset my modem as suggest above to see if that works, hope a fix comes in a future update
