Where are the WIFI settings held??

I wish to know -- where are the WIFI settings held-(I do a lot of tweaking for my HD and sometimes I mess it up, but the guy who knows wifi password of my place, lives in Garkalne, Im in Adazi ( about 10 km difference)--my wifi goes only about 20m )
So I need to backup my wifi settings or atleast the password -- where is the password held -- in registry, windows, anywere --- just name it and how to get there!!??

well access your wireless router with the provided ip address.
i think it may be 192.168.1.1 and you will easily see it around wireless security.

Sorry -- I didnt understand that --- can you give me a step by step
My wifi network is password protected it has two networks 1.- provides internet, password protected.;;;;; 2.- doesnt provide internet, not password protected, Its for those cases when he forgets the password for the 1st network so he can bypass it and go straight to the internet-- I dont know how he does it
Im still learning English

The security information is stored within your WIFI router.
As to how to access and maintain it, it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I have five different ADSL modem/router in the past few years and all of them has different way of getting into the configuraiton menu. Some needs me to type in 10.1.1.1, the others uses different address. You need to refer to your user manual for your equipment (if you can't find it , make a call to your ISP's support center, and they will definitely be able to tell you).
Once you're in the configuration menu. navigating to the place where the security setting is kept again differ in each case, and again you should read your user manual to find out, or call up your ISP's support centre for help.

It's in Start/setting/connection/WIFI/Advance.
The Main tab lets you change which WIFI network you want to connect to. When you click on change network, you can pick whichever one that shows as available. Once you click on it, if that access points requires Authentication, by clicking the next button you will specify all the details such as network key, etc.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
The power mode tab lets you specify if you want more performance or battery life

----> when I enter the password for the wifi network-- I wish to know where my THD saves the password----the guy who knows wifi password doesnt give it to me so I want to find it on my device---where is it saved on blackstone

Ok i think everyone is confused now.
Please explain in detail what you want to do again.

He doesn't know the wifi password to "his" network because the guy who knows the password won't give it to him.
He's asking if a plaintext version of the password is saved in the Touch HD somewhere for "his" network.
I find it a little sus that he doesn't know the password for "his" own network, or that the person who set it up won't give him the password, so he's trying to find it this way.

ICS 4.0.3 Wifi - Setting Static IP not possible?

I turned on wifi but was unable to access / change my IP to a static IP . I couldnt find the option under wifi - advanced as well. The new options allow me only to change my Signal Band (2.4gz/5gz) but not change my IP address or put a static IP.
Any thoughts?

It's right there
Press and hold your connected access point
Check Show advanced options
Click IP settings and change from DHCP to Static
Enter your IP/DNS

thanks i also had a problem but now i can enter my ip but the save button is unfortunately greyed out so stuck up in getting ip address can anyone help
ps: figured it out now working
thanks

saving of static IP is now per network instead of per wifi interface.

still not able to assign static ip

Is this also the case with proxy server? I have an Asus Transformer on ICS that allows me to save Proxy per access point, and I'm hoping the GNote will also do this on ICS.

Just checked myself, glad to see this!
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope thats all clear.

I have had the same problem.

Wouldn't is be a better option to have your router reserve a specific IP address for the MAC address of your Note? That way you won't have to change the settings on your Note when you want to connect to a different network.

It would, but that's a bit too technical for most users, as it requires going into advanced settings of your router. Most people don't even know their routers IP address, let alone configure MAC-level access!
Also the default setting is for DHCP on all networks, so the user doesn't have to worry when connecting to any network.
In ICS, they have introduced the option of allowing different IP settings for each network. In previous android versions, you could only have 1 global setting that affected all networks.
I like to use a static IP on my home network, but every over network I connect to requires DHCP. So previously, I had to disable Static IP to access other networks (or use an app called Wifi static!).
It's no wonder I was confused 'Wifi static' was no longer working

With the long press stuff --> modify network and add the static IP, it seems not work for me. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3.
Do u think the phone need to be rooted to gain superior access privilegde?
And my setup network @home is ad-hoc. So cant reserve any ip on a router.
Kind regards
Takeur

if by "not work" you mean that you can't see an option to change from DHCP to static, it may simply be because the on-screen keyboard automatically appears at that setup page (so you can enter a password) and it obscures the options further down the page.
So, you need to:
1. long press on your connection to go into "modify network config"
2. press capacitive "back" key (or click "done") to reveal the bottom of the page
3. check the "show advanced" tick box
4. scroll down beyond the visible part of the page to get to DHCP setting.

here's my solution on my note ICS
1. long press wifi connection, enter your network password
2. change dhcp to static
3. fill ip address of your device
4. FILL NETWORK PREFIX OF YOUR STATIC WIFI NETWORK (NETWORK PREFIX is substitution of NETMASK ADDRESS (eg 255.255.255.255) see table here ttp://gabbtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/subnet-mask-address-dan-persamaannya.html
5. fill other requirement (gateway,dns,etc)
6. You should be able to click greyed out SAVE button now

Manually Modify Windows 8 Wireless Network Profiles

I ran into a problem today where I entered in some details incorrectly to a hidden wireless network profile and then discovered that MS have removed the Wireless Network Manager so I couldn't delete or correctly configure that network as it would not get listed in the metro wireless interface.
After a bout of searching online I've found that this seems to be a rather common problem that has no real fix to be found.
After digging around on my machine I've discovered the wireless profiles are stored in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces
where the first sub folders list guids for respective wireless devices on you machine which contains xml files pertaining to the wireless profiles for the respective wireless devices. it seems same to manually delete the files or edit.

Or you just right click on the SSID in the Available Wireless Network list and either select Forget this network or View connection properties :silly:

Not if you mistype the SSID, or your not in range of the router when you wish to modify the profile, or you have multiple profiles that share the same SSID.

Hello,
What you are looking for is managed via the registry now.
Visit This:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
Hope this helps

Think netsh is your friend here...

[Q] Change phones IP address?

Is it possible to change the ip address on my phone? It is clashing with other hardware on my network that has the same static ip.

no idea BUT BUT BUT your network should not be dishing out a clashing IP address.
Fix your DHCP settings on your router (I'm guessing) so it excludes the IP address that you're clashing with. Heck I'd just exclude the entire range that I use for static IPs.
Seriously though any DHCP server that is not a piece of junk will try a ping first and if something's already taking up an IP address it will not allocate it.

I was hopping for an easy fix because I just got my network working the way I want. My Droid is clashing with my security can system I can change the IP address on the cam but then I will have to go to 6 mobile devices and change the settings.
I will check my router like you suggested. Thanks.

All you have to do (in ICS, should be same for JB) is go to settings --> Wi-Fi --> long press on network you want to edit --> select modify network --> scroll down to "show advanced options" and check --> scroll down to IP settings and change from DHCP to Static --> scroll down to "IP address" and change.

MAC ID change
HI,
My MAC ID changed when I rooted the phone. When it was unrooted, it went back to the old MAC ID.
But, it doesnt change random. Just the two MAC ID's on rooting and unrooting.
A wi fi adapter must have only one MAC id, but do not know why this happens

Wifi mac changes issue
Yesterday, I reset Yureka and It changed MAC Address. There are lots of other bug with this device. Not happy with software.

My phone is just a day old and found the Mac address to be changing after reboots.
Though Not after every reboot the problem is evident. Is this a software issue or a Hardware issue ?
Can some one guide me in the right direction ?
