Wireless problems - Droid X General

Has anyone had their unrooted x not be able to connect to their home network via wireless. All my other devices connect but my x shows a blue wireless connection bit everytime I try to go on the web out says unable to connect. It connects at other places most times.
Thanks

Mine will drop in and out at home, but normally no other place. The odd thing is that no other devices drop out at my home, just the Droid X

I know this is something you have already thought of but is your wifi passworded and have you added the password correctly

You might check your router to see if you have access control enabled. I have frequently found that to be the cause when a new item refuses to otherwise connect. First check login, password, then the router permissions. Be sure to recycle your router if changes are made.

Can't connect to WiFi??

I have the stock Android 2.1 on my phone and I rooted it but nothing else. For some reason my phone will not connect to my home WiFi. I put in the WEP key and it still says disconnected. Not sure if root had anything to do with it since I only assumed WiFi was working before I rooted. Any ideas? WEP is right, not sure what the "Key Index" is...

Root has nothing to do with it.
Did you flash any kernels

Nope, WiFi manager says connecting then says disconnected

I would hard reset.

Is your router setup to only allow N connections? If so, the default wifi is only for G and B networks unless you have updated the kernel.
Could it be because you're a dirty gator? Sorry, I know that's not helpful, please forgive me. Go Noles!!!

Harrison, I am certain that's not the problem.

I hit connect but the status under the WiFi setting never changes from disconnected.

Well first of all root def.ly is not the reason. I would try a few things such as reboot the phone and router. Next I would try to disable the security on the router just for testing. see if you can connect without any key. Also try connecting to an open Wifi connection that is available. This open would narrow down your problem to either the phone or your home network. If you are able to connect to other wifi connection then the issue is not with the phone but your home network.
Mine seems to not want to connect to the wifi until I go into Settings - Wifi, then suddenly it decides my wireless router is there and connects. The only other app on my phone that can activate the wireless radio is Wifi Analyzer, but I have that feature turned off.

Wifi tether and windows 7 x64

Does anyone have wifi tether working on windows 7x64? I have tried that and barnacle and my comp can see them both but times out while trying to connect. Sits there for several minutes and says it can't connect.

Shoot! Did you do anything special or just use the defaults?

I had an problem connecting once, but realized that when i was doing some work with vpn's and ports i decided to disable adhoc on my personal wireless card.
To see if it may be disabled on your machine click on start menu, right click computer and go to manage, then click device manager, under network adapters find your wireless adapter and right click and go to properties. Now go to the advanced tab to see if there is anything in there that says adhoc and if it is possible to enable it....
Like I said, I managed to disable mine and all it took was a re-enable to get it back working correctly.
Good luck either way.
Mine works fine too...make sure you are running the latest version of Android Wifi Tether (pre9 - pre13 generally work)..also try running the Internet browser on the phone after you connect.
Also if you are not on Froyo there is the Mobile AP option for Infer-structure tethering.
Working here too. I'm using the SyndicateROM 1.02. It comes with wifi tethering pre11.
The steps I took:
1) Renamed my wifi SSID
2) Added a security key, 13 characters exactly
3) In Win7x64, I manually added the wifi and for the security key, I chose WEP and entered the key.
I could be on 3G or 4G and wifi tethering works without a hitch.

Does your laptop have an Intel card? I am unable to connect with my Intel 6200-based WiFi adapter on my Sony Z. It worked ONCE a while back, but updates seem to have messed this up rather permanently. Other machines that aren't based on Intel seem to work quite peachily.

WiFi not connecting to hotspots

My WiFi has suddenly stopped connecting to hotspots. It works just fine at home but for some reason it won't connect to the Starbucks next door to my work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

try downloading the advanced wifi configurator. or when u connect, go to your browser and accept the terms and conditions (usually hotspots have a simple page that lists the conditions, once u accept you will be able to use the internet)

I'm using wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 v06. The only problem is that my WiFi symbol doesn't show up & when I go in the browser it doesn't take me to the page to accept the terms. So I use my data from my ATT plan. Sometimes it works & sometimes I keep seeing a pop-up saying WiFi autofix when I can't connect

Do u blade wifi fix on your ROM?
that might work.
Also, have u tried connecting through the wifi part of settings and search for a new connection. This might seem dumb bit try that. Not just letting the phone connect itself.

I do have the blade WiFi fix. I've tried connecting every way possible but still no luck. It now shows the WiFi icon in my status bar & it also says I'm connected to the Starbucks WiFi but when I open the browser it says I'm not connected.

Blade comes with the Rom.
To OP, try a different browser.

Tried a different browser, same problem. I really don't know wats goin on or how to fix it. Any other ideas??

so when you go to settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings, is the box next to wifi checked? and if yes does it show any available networks? If its off how does it respond when you check the box to turn it on. More details would help people solve your problem.
If its just turned off and you need to turn it back on manually everytime just put a power control widget on one of your home screens to turn it off/on easier.

wifi is turned on on my phone. when i got into wifi settings and look at the available access points, it says im connected to the starbucks hotspot. but when i open my browser(default browser, firefox) it says page cannot be displayed cuz i aint connected. ive tried everything i can think of. ive turned off the wifi then turned it back on, rebooted the phone, tried different settings. i just dont know why it wont connect to the starbucks hotspot next door to my work anymore. it works perfectly fine at home.
Thanks for all the help but I figured out it is the Starbucks that has the problem. I can't connect my ipod or laptop. I'm just happy its not my phone. But thanks again for all the tips

Wifi connection woes

So I have noticed that as of late, when connecting to some access points, my xoom takes an excessivly long time scanning and authenticating the network, and will not connect. Other times it will connect in the correct fashion. I have verified pass code and IP settings. Anyone have advice?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I have seen the same thing on exactly one other wifi hotspot, while traveling. I thought it might be something in the way that the AP was configured due to the fact that my 1.6 phone would not connect either while my wife's Win7 netbook connected immediately. I thought that they must not ike Android.
Its possible the routers were out of IPs to assign. A common problem I find in hotels is that they set really long, or indefinate lease times and people come and go and they run out of IPs to assign.

I think you may be on to it there.... the times I notice odd behavior is when a significant number of devices are connected...

Nook color won't let me connect to my mifi

So I just rooted my nook color last night and I now can't connect with my mifi. Not that it's not connecting Im actually not being given the chance after I enter my password to be allowed to connect. The button acts like I still haven't entered anything in yet. I connected fine to this exact mid I before I rooted and whats weirder is I was able to connect to my home WiFi and enter a password in fine last night. I was really hoping to use this as a car headset but if I can't connect to the mifi there's no point. W
