Help Wifi won't connect, it says "Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2"

Android Question · Feb 8, 2015

Over the past few weeks I've had an issue connecting my Android phone to wifi networks. It would always list the network as "Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2"...even after I pressed connect.

I've been rebooting my phone, and when the phone loads back up, it is connected to the network.

Today this stopped working and the network stays as "Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2"

Has anyone found a solution?

I've tried forgetting the network and re-connecting and I have been on the wifi network many times before.

Is it a home network? I've encountered that issue and the problem was with my router. Restarting it or turning it off for a few minutes would fix it.

maybe check the wifi password, maybe there is no open network meaning it may need a password

I had this problem logs of times and I always didn't put in letter ir number.Or needed capslocks.

Turn on airplane mode.
Turn off airplane mode.
Try again your wifi!

I have seen this one suggested several places because I have encountered the same problem and I think you are supposed to wait thirty seconds to a minute before turning the airplane mode off again but I could be wrong.

If it's one particular WiFi AP doing it, it can be the WiFi router is acting funky. Had it happen in a hotel, asked them to reboot their router and connected no problems then.

Try these steps:
1.forget the wifi
2.re-enter password
If nothing happens try restarting your modem or wifi router...
If nothing happens again try conatcting customer service they might help yah!

I only have this happen with my two crappy Chinese devices (redundant???Lol) Mike, any software workarounds you guys use there or do they only EXPORT the junk? Lol.

It's not an incorrect password, as there's an explicit error message when that happens. Similarly, an authentication problem (e.g. incorrect encryption mode) also throws up a clear error message.

A straightforward failure to connect is often down to DHCP issues, so switch off the phone, power down the wireless router/AP for five minutes, then reboot it and once it's back up restart the phone and see if it reconnects automatically (as it should).

Sometimes the WiFi can be fluky with some crappy cheapo devices, usually no-name tablets.

Some Chinese routers can be fluky as well. A friend in Shenzhen, who I was staying with for a few weeks had a TP-link one, and it would just crash the instant I started Transmission bittorrent on my Macbook, and had to pull the plug to reboot it. But it was only the OS X bittorrent doing it, Windows or Linux bittorrent clients it was OK. Some people had connectivity issues at a local coffee bar, with devices and laptops being unable to connect, and that was the router had run out of network addresses for devices from it's DHCP pool.

I just found this on YouTube so I haven't tried it yet myself, but for what it's worth there were quite a few people in the comments that said that it worked for them!! This is a bigger problem than a lot of people realize, I hope we can keep this thread open until we find a definitive solution for posterity!!

Try these steps, in order, until it (hopefully) works. Do 1-5 together, 6-10 one at a time:

1. Go to: Settings > WiFi > long-press on your network > Forget network.

2. Turn off the phone.

3. Unplug the power to the router for at least 30 seconds.

4. Plug in the router and give it plenty of time to fully reboot, at least 3-4 minutes.

5. Turn on the phone and try to connect.

6. Open a browser and get into Setup in the router.

7. Set security encryption to WPA2/AES. Do not use TKIP or AES/TKIP.

8. Try setting static IP addresses.

9. Update your router firmware.

10. Try using Google's DNS servers. 8.8.8.8 for the primary, 8.8.4.4 for the secondary.

Note: #8 & 10 are what is done in the video hiredgun posted.

I had this problem with my LG F6 phone. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes it wouldn't. The phone should support all wifi modes, but I was able to fix the problem by changing the wireless router from "B/G/N Mixed" to "B/G Mixed".
Try a different mode or combination to see if it will work for you:
- Open a browser and login to your router (use a wired device if you can, instead of a wireless one)
- Wireless Setup tab
- Advanced settings
- Wireless Mode: mine has 'B/G mixed', 'G/N mixed', and 'B/G/N mixed' options available.
- - Even if your android supports all modes, try each 'mixed' combination available, to see if it solves this issue.
- - I'd prefer B/G/N, but mine kept disconnecting in this mode.
- Also select the 'B/G Protection' option if available. This will allow B devices to work on a G network.
Good luck!
