Help Android and HOME WiFi connection issue.... HELP

[BDZ71]

I just got my first Android phone.. woop woop!

Anyway, works great!

But I cant get on the internet on my home wifi????

I enable wifi on the phone.. it finds my home network.. It logs into my home network and says the status is strong... but when I go to the browser or ANYTHING that uses the internet it will not work and times out and says no connection etc..

But I can type in my router IP from the phone browser and get into the router settings... So i know im hooked up to the wifi.. i just cant seem to get past the router.
WTF?

I cant figure this one out. . . I havnt been to any other wifi spots to see if it works there but home is definately the most important..

Any ideas?

Go into your WiFi settings scroll down to advanced. Check that your wifi sleep policy is set to never, verify you have a MAC address listed and that you do not have "use Static IP checked.

It seems that ur router is blocking the phone from access to the web or from the web to ur phone. check your router settings from your computer.

comms between the phone and computer should not be related to coms between ur phone and router, but i have seen strange things where firewall do actually block all coms. So disable ur firewall and try. if it gets access U will need to set up a firewall rule for the phone.

what router are U using?

Have you tried power cycling?

Does your router connect right to your modem or do you have a PC in between.

Are you using MAC filtering on the router?

That's what I thought at first but he would have remembered setting that up.

I had this issue with my home Internet a couple days after upgrading both my phone and Internet.

I restarted the modem and it fixed it. Not sure why that happened only my phone didn't connect everything else was fine but it worked and haven't had an issue since.
