I am using Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 and when I installed it, I lost my wifi connection (my HD found many other wireless networks on my building, but not mine).
Then I manually set my router to channel 11 and it started working again. Previously, I was using the stock ROM and my router was set to channel 13 and it worked just fine.
I guess this may have to do with the higher channels and the wifi driver.
I just wanted to let the developers know about this, but am not allowed to post in the development forum yet. Maybe this is a known fact, but I couldn't find any information on this.
By the way, in case anyone is wondering, I need to manually set my router to one of the highest channels in order to get a stable wireless connection at home.
Also, my wife's Legend with rooted stock ROM has been working the whole time on channels 13 and 11.

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this problem is in every build but i found it in the FroyoStone Series [Build 07.08.2010].
Problem:
Android can't see some WIFI networks.
Solution:
Android seems only to detect wireless networks that are configured between "Wireless Channels" 1 to 11. WIFI networks configured above channel 11 won't be detected by Android.
what about ad-hoc wireless connection ? how could i connect ?
And this is only HD2 bug or all Android devices?
This issue only occurs on newer builds. My wlan router uses channel 13. I'm able to connect with all old builds from darkstone, etc. But Since mattc 1.4 and FroyoStone I'm not able to connect anymore, because Android is not able to find my network.
By the way: This issue is not solved, because not all of us are able to change the wlan channel of our routers! I'm not sure if this is right, but I read that channel 13 and 14 are not allowed in the USA. Is it possible that our devs used european Androids builds in the previous buidls and now uses an USA Version (new Desire Build)?
is it because of mac address?
is it because of mac address? MAc address is different from win mo in Android

No, as I told, it works fine with all older Android buils. Only with new one (since 1-2 weeks) it is not working anymore.

Again true, channel 12 to 14 are not used in the US, Europe goes up to 13, 14 is only used in Japan if i remember properly.
So there are 2 options:
Reuse European Desire Builds or Change you wifi channel if you can. A better option would be reusing the European Desire Builds.
With latest kernel I found new problme with Wifi. It works but after some time stop. I must turn it off and on again.
Hi,
On my Glofiish x650 I've the same Problem with channel 13. Therefore I found
vvvvvv.aspecto-software.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=3346#p3346
For these and other threads about channel 13 the Problem shut are at all devices with built in wifi chip from Marvel.
@ ATomCZ
If you really has no problem with channel 13 maybe you could place here a copy of GSPI8686.dll from your HTC.
(Even it's placed in ROM it is not so easy to copy, may be you or someone next to you now how to do)
@pi_mento
It seems you have an x650 too. Does your x650 connect to channel 13?
Unbelievable, but if it does it would be great to get a copy of your GSPI8686.dll.
What is your ROM Version?
(I'm from Europe and for some reason I have to use channel 13)
Regards

How do I change Channel ?
Don't know if this works for you people but it works for me.
I'm using darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.
If you go to Settings > Wireless & Network settings > Wi-Fi Settings then press the Menu button (Windows button on the HD2) and choose Advanced then you choose Regulatory domain which lets you choose the number of channels to use, set that to what you need and it should show your network.
I have another problem! I'm using Darkstone Froyobuild with the latest 13. September zImage... since i installed this zImage it always says connecting and 2 seconds later is says scan and then connecting again! Goes like this all the time so WiFi is working but i can't connect to the network...
I already changed the channel to 8 but it's still not working and the network has WPA2!! Any solutions??

I have the exact same issue using WEP.
I think my problem with it not connecting its the mac filter I use and the HD2 having a mac address of 001122334455....
The MAC Filter issuse is noch solution for me! I have the filter switched off...
Is there no solution for this problem?
Hello guys,
I got a question about Wifi on the current android builds.
To start, im using radio 2.12.50.02_2 witch is decent. And im running Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.2.
Everything is working fine on 2.4Ghz networks but @ home I got a 5Ghz network because everything is capable of running on this. The HD2 running WinMob 6.5 (energy rom) is also working on it but on android I don't see the network so I figured the driver isn't capable of working with 5Ghz.
Any news on this? I like to use my own network and not the unsecured network from my neighbor haha.
Krgs,

what channel is your router on?
Try changing the channel of the Wifi router settings.. for me it worked on the FroyoStone with the latest kernel
I think the router is on AUTO regarding channels.
what setting are you guys using ?
In your Router's settings try modifying the Channel to 1-10 except 11 (Not sure), if that failed then in your router's settings there must be something to switch the Frequency of the Wi-fi radio..
Good luck with your router
Does the HD2 support N signals? Because my HD2 doesn't detect my N-router at all. Let alone connect to it..
edit: nevermind, googled it and read about the N-hack, nice!
all devices at market with n support , supports only 2.4 ghz not 5ghz , as listed at the specification sheet of (iphone 4 , galaxy s , and the chip in hd2 , evo , nexus , desire , incrediable and desire hd )
Hi. I have wifi working on channel 18 and no chance to change that.
How can I access this network in my android I can access ch. 1-14?
No problems on WM with this network.
Mike
The answer is that there is no channel 18 in the wifi spectrum that is in common use.
Could you be referring to zigby? that has a channel 18? But I've not seen zigby in a phone.
At the customer place is Cisco router on the wall.
I tried to connect from Android - network was not visible.
A friend of mine got iphone, got connected - it shows ch18.
After couple of hours he connected again - on channel 12 at this time.
i could not find this network whole day.
When I started WM, no problems. Network become visible and I got connected.
So, what can I do to get this network working on Android?
Isn't it problem with wifi-n networks?
I can see other networks, but not this one I want to connect from Android.
Sovtware version i run:
Android 2.2
Mdeejay Froyo NextSense 2.7
kernel 2.6.32.15r7.6-gc08b0fe
Mike
Ok, after some time with google it looks like problem between Android and Cisco Wifi router.
What a crap.
Mike
technicly in the us theres 11 channels, europe has 13, japan has 14.
Hello, I have a problem with my KF...
I connect to a Network by WiFi and all works perfect, but when I connect more than 5 or 6 times at the same Network... next time I try connect it doesn´t connect more and in the screen appears "Error in connection"
I´ve my Kindle fire since the last week and it happens in all networks, I try, It connects well but it stops when I try to connect more times...
The problem is that I´m European and I can´t solve it sending the KF to Amazon.
What can I do? I´ve the 6.2 version, without static IP...
I think that the problem is the software, because I can connect to new networks....
Help Please!! Thanks
I found same problem. Pls help.
My solution
I've had similar problems to the point where the kindle times my router out. It would connect and all of a sudden I had no connection on any of my devices. I've spent hours reading through the amazon kindle forums which offer many of solutions. The one I've noticed the worked for the majority of users (Including myself) was to make a few changes in your router.
I changed 802.11 Mode from n/b/g mix to 802.11(g) Only
Get Wifi Analyzer and see if the channel your router uses is not shared with many hotspots around you. I found that I was using channel 6 and so were 4 other hotspots around me. I could not find one that was on channel 10, so I set my router to channel 10.
Now it works like a charm. Depends of the router you use. I am on a Westell router provided by my ISP.
I can provide link to amazon forum for reference.
Wowww! It Works!!! Thank you!!!!
thanks this trick worked on my rooter too!
however we cannot change rooters in the city's hotspots... that's where this problem will still remain unsolved

Thanks! That worked for me!
When the WiFi channel is 13, the Focus is unable to see the router. Initially, I thought the device was f***ked, but later found out that by setting to a fixed channel in the lower frequencies, I was able to connect the Focus to the net.
I checked all the codes, but could not find any solution to change WiFi region.
I would like to know if I install any of the custom ROMs - I am angling towards the Dynamics ROM, will the Focus work with WLAN Channel 13?
Thanks
