HD2 WiFi Internet Problem please HELP - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the Wireless Networks it says "Connected" next to my "SSID" i have the correct key and dns/static ip setup. I go on Marketplace, internet browser (Opera), and another internet browser (Skyfire) and none of them work, so basically I'm connected to my router but I have no Internet.
I have HSPL3, ChuckyROM, and Radio Radio_2_11_50_26, I used to have Radio 2_12_50_02_2 but the internet didn't work with that one either.
What could be wrong??

First off why are you using static?
Second have seen these types of issues before with static , try dynamic(DHCP).

well i have to use the dns, i don't need the static ip, i switched to dhcp and only input the dns but it is still not working.

In your settings, when you configured your wifi , in the box that says "connects to:" did you select "The Internet" or "My Work", this should be Internet ...

yea its says "The Internet" and by the way, after i removed the static IP my connection just says Unavailable when i try to connect (I hide my router's SSID so i input the stuff manually)
Oh and i had a motorola cliq before and it connected just fine

ok so for some reason i retried it just now and the internet works...so i guess problem is solved

Hi, I searched the forums and found this thread regarding wifi Internet problem so I'm posting my problems here.
I'm having similar wifi issue. I can connect to home router just fine but when I'm out using either free wifi from some stores (like panera or starbucks) or School wifi, it shows up as "Connected" but when I try browser it won't even show the home page or log in page. I switched from "Work" to "Internet" but it still won't work...
I don't think it's hardware problem but more so OS problem or something i'm missing. This problem only occurs with WinMo 6.5(I use stock rom), and when I boot Dan Android, wifi works fine. I'm not sure if Android's usage of wifi is somehow affecting my WinMo's ability to log into wifi but this is my wild guess.
If someone knows what my problem is could you please help me?
thanks

i think my problem was that when i tried to connect to my wifi, my hd2 was connected to my pc via usb. when i tried to connect when i'm not connected to my pc it worked
that's about all i know, hope it helps

did recognize this too...i think w-lan is disabled when active sync is activated...because the phone can use the internet connection of the pc.
back to topic: do you use static ip's in your home network or does the other networks (school) require a static but you're on dynamic ip?

hm, I have no idea which ip I use when I'm connected to home or public. How do I check?

ok i fix it....very very easy...under the "WIFI" settings there is a box to check...next to the box it says "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" check this box then under that is a choice for "EAP Type" choose the "smart card" connection....also turn off your data connection via the comm manager...for some reason my TP wont let me connect to WIFI when the data communication is enabled....good luck worked for me!

When I go into Settings, the Connections tab, and click on WiFi, I don't see any check boxes at all, let alone one for "Use IEEE ...".
I must be in the wrong menu/place. Could someone please help direct me to the right place?
you'll see the check boxes once you connect to a wifi..i also have wireless internet at my house, and can connect and use my wifi just fine.
try to install some app that block`s data connections from your mobile provider ... nodata for example, you can find a link to it on xda.
set all the other connections to disabled ... and you phone connection to GSM ... not GPRS, EDGE or something else ...
set your wi-fi connection to connect to the internet ... not to work.
this worked for me for a dlink 784 router, now i`m banging my head against a 524 (again DLink) and have the same problem it connects but does not get on the internet. the problem seems to come from the TP, some settings need adjusting but i didnt figure out which one yet ...
good luck
PS: for iko, i think you have your router set on enteprise security, not personal... for personal WPA, WPA2 with a PSK, and TKIP or AES encryption, the "use IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control" is checked and greyed out, and you do not have access to it on the TP

Wireless Router Problem

Hey guys, I've been searching around the forum and on google the whole night, but haven't managed to solve this problem I'm having.. I'm using Energy rom aug 10th version Cookie gtx.. I'm trying to use my laptop to browse the net using phone as a wireless router. Managed to connect, but it always shows "Limited Connectivity" on my laptop.. Meaning to say, I can't browse the net... I've gone through what some others have suggested eg. turning off "N" mode in bsb tweaks, making sure that the 2 adapters are one "Use server-assigned IP address", making sure that connection is to "The Internet" instead of "Work", updating the drivers for the wireless adaptor on my laptop ... but still, no joy for me... It's been a long time of searching, and I'm pretty worn out, so thought I'd post this question here before I hit the sack.... Anyone knows how I can solve this issue?? Sometimes my home network can be pretty buggy, so I thought that if I could use my HD2 as my router instead, I should at least face lesser problems, but turns out, I can't even connect properly! Help guys... Thanks!
*EDIT* Solved! Peeps who are having issues with using your Leo as a wireless router, follow the steps below!
Note: Credits go to DN41 as he was the one who walked me through it. Please thank him.. =) I'm just posting this as I'm sure that there are others who are also looking for a fix to this.. This may not be the best method, but in my opinion, it's better than no method at all... This should be the last resort if after trying out everthing else, and you still can't get it to work..
First step - On your Leo go to "Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters"
You should see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter...
Tap on them and change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1
When you're done, go out of that screen and it should be saved...
Second step - On your notebook, go to "Network and sharing centre ---> Manage wireless networks ---> Adapter Properties"
Untick the "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ---> Properties" and click "Use the following IP Address"
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Click ok, and then close the box. *NOTE: Do not use alternate IP's etc. It won't work.*
Start your Wireless router on your Leo and wait for it to start up, and from here you should be able to
connect to your Leo using it as a wireless router! Hope this has managed to help you guys! Thanks once
again to DN41!

not sure, but seems more of a PC problem,
what system are you running - I vaguely recall, that in Vista you could define the Home/Public connection type or sth like that
I'm not sure but I guess PC problem might also be the issue... I'm using Vista Home Edition... Do you know how to define the Home/public connection type and what kind of connection type should be set? Thanks a million!
I use Vista only sporadically, but the last time I tried to use my HD2 as a router for Vista laptop, I only succeeded after several attempts, what helped for the final and successful one was deleting the "Wi Fi router" from network list on PC, soft reset of HD2 (just in case) and start from the scratch
hmm.. so you deleted all the wireless routers?
no, only the HD2 one, which accidentally is named "Wi Fi router"
ok, will try and update here.. =)
=( Still no joy... Sigh...
The Wireless Router I used last week asked which provider to use at the bottom of the main screen. Vista will tel you that you have limited connectivity if you are associated to the WAP but don't have internet access. This implies that you have the wrong provider selected at the bottom of the main screen.
so you are using dhcp?
its worth to try static ip's, or not?
for example: LEO has IP 192.168.1.1 and your pc 192.168.1.2. make sure, that the gateway entered on your pc is LEO's IP..in this case 192.168.1.1
also make sure, that you have disabled IPv6 on your notebook.
that should really work...i dont like dhcp configurations and so i always use static ones...that ever worked!
DN41
okok.. this is getting a little confusing... Can you elaborate a little on what steps to take?
i think you should first check the advice one post before

Ok, which means to say, when you set up your wireless router on your Leo, you are given a choice to choose which provider am I right to say? Let me check and update you guys again.. =)
I've tried changing the settings on my wireless router on my leo to the one's which my provider uses for internet, but still, no internet access on my pc.. =( Going mad trying to configure this... anyone else knows how to fix it?? =(
now you could try static ip's.
i'm not sure, if wm asks you which ip to take while configuring the wifi router.
if yes, then you can give your leo the ip 192.168.1.1 - that should be everything for your leo.
on your pc, go to the settings of your wireless lan adapter. disable ipv6. then go to ipv4 configuration. set ip to 192.168.1.2, subnetmask (is this right translated?) is automatically 255.255.255.0 - finally set as gateway 192.168.1.1
that should work...
DN41
Ok, slow down a little here.. =) So on my Leo, the only place which I can see my IP is under the Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters
and I see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter... So I'm to change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1 ??
Next would be for my notebook, where I follow as above to configure the Ip address is that right? I'll update again after I try.. =)
ALRIGHT!! You're da man!! =) Managed to connect and I'm now typing this using the connection from my Leo as the router! Great! Thanks a million DN41! =)
it's a pleasure =) have fun

Hi guys,
Since I flashed Energy Nov13 on my HD2 I've had the same problem. Previously, I would just switch on the wifi router and connect automatically from my laptop, as if with DHCP, but now DHCP isn't working.
I followed the instructions above and I CAN connect to my phone now, except I can't access the internet through it. I changed the two adapter IPs to 192.168.1.1, my laptop is 192.168.1.2 using gateway 192.168.1.1 and the connection is eastablished. However when I try to load a web page I get an "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found." in Chrome.
This sounds like a DNS misconfiguration on my HD2, but nothing about DNSes was mentioned above. I can access the internet (with Opera) from my phone while the wifi router is active, but it doesn't seem to be routing that connection,
Any thoughts? This is kind of important, though I don't think I'm going to get it working today...

[Q] Wifi connected, can't browse, download internet

Hi everybody, i have the next issue:
I can connect HTC HD2 to wireless network with wpa tkip encryption , but i cannot browse internet, download, and the youtube player shows the videos list but doesnt play them. It is very frustrating... i tried to find a solution but didnt find find anything.
Tried the things with Network connects Work/Internet and other ones but did not work.
Does anyone knows how to solve it, or what settings should i use?
thanks
Uhm the problem you experiencing is not related to the HD2
You need to edit you internet router configuration of your internet connection (at home).
Some were there is a setting called Mac Client filtering. If your Mac adres of the wifi adapter of your HD2 isnt showing in the list and having the status "accepted" you can make netwerk connection but the router is blocking your internet connection.
Adjusting the Mac list of your internet router will fix this.

[Q] my HD2 wifi

hi, my hd2 is full of problems, latest one is that my wifi connects to my home hub/router and it says (connected) but it doesnt let me use the internet, so basicly i cant go on opera, internet explorer youtube not else etc, the password is entered correctly btw,
it does the same thing with all the other routers! anyone know ?
is your router set up for mac adress filtering for internet access
ofcourse you can connect to you local network .. but if you filter on mac adres for internet connection maybe that is the setting that conflicts while making connection
so grab a router manual and go through the router settings i would say
ps i never experienced any problems with the HD2, not even with other ROMS if you just read and follow the simple instructions

Galaxy S2 is able to connect to wi-fi router but can't access Internet ??

hi,
I've linksys wi-fi router model WRT54GH in my home & it has a good amount of signal strength to cover entire area.
My recently bought galaxy S2 is able to identify linksys wi-fi access point & connects too with the IP assigned to it, also at wi-fi settings connected being displayed.
Now when I try to access Internet (any url google/FB), it doesn't connect at all.
I tried almost everything about router configuration, restart etc. but with no success
can someone plz help on this ?

In my case the problem was with frozen "WiFi sharing" in combination with juicy defenders "Location" fearure. It seems such combination is dangerous. Solutin (in my case):
1. defroze
2. remove all wifi networks
3. reboot (for "clean" frozing)
4. make WiFi sharing frozen
5. reboot again just for fun
Try to check your router's MAC address restrictions. In my router, as security, I have to add MAC addresses of each device to share internet. They take IP's, connects etc. but does not have accesses to internet
as above, check that there is no MAC filtering set up.
one other thing it may be is the security settings, if you have a WEP Key to access the router it may need the Hex conversion of your key depending on what level of security you have (64bit or 128bit for example)

Try setting up a static IP address for your phone, I presume your network is a 192.168.1.0, go into router settings and LAN setup, give your phone the address in a static DHCP assignment of 192.168.1.5, or any other address in the same subnet your in. Some SGSII's have problems with dynamic DHCP for some reason, some NS had the same problem too,

I have a similar problem and I fix mine temporarily by turning my wifi off, then in wifi settings > advanced, I change wifi sleep policy from 'never' to 'only when the screen is off'. However I have to do this every time I want to use wifi so it can become quite annoying sometimes.
So I can get through however only for a short period of time as it seems as long my Galaxy S2 keeps turning off my wifi even though it's on :/
I had exactly the same issue on Linksys E4200 with my laptop, could connect to network, even to router's attached storage, but not to internet. Restart helped
On SGS2, I couldn't connect to the router at all at first, but fixed this by switching from WPA2/WPA mixed mode access protocol to WPA2 private. But I guess this is not exactly your issue.

Yes, you are right this is not an issue for me.
In fact my SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
Also at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.

My SG2 being assigned with an IP address from 192.168.1.xx subnet.
So I think IP addressing may not be an issue.
Also another thing I tried was, at a same time my laptop connected with an IP from same subnet able to ping SG2.
So wi-fi router may not be an issue here, whats say ???
Even I am facing the same issue at my office network. I am able to connect to the wireless network but if I try to access any app I cannot browse. This is really frustrating looks like some issue with the modem drivers.
I was able to browse on another wifi created virtually by mobile tethering. This looks like a major bug with the current firmware. Another interesting thing to note is that the Wifi network has a hidden SSID and uses WPA2 auth scheme.
I have seen a Galaxy S able to connect to the same n/w without any issues.
Has anyone figured out a solution to this one ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I am yet to figure out a solution for this
Even I am also agree on the probable issue with modem driver.
I've D-link modem.
Are you aware of anything about this modem that can be reconfigured to get this worked ... ?? pl let me know
The wifi router at my office is Cisco Aironet 1200 Series, anyone else facing this issue ?
I'm having the same problem at work connecting my SGS2 with v2.3.3 Official Firmware (customized for Orange service provider) to a Cisco Aironet 1130 AP. I can see that the Galaxy authenticates with the AP correctly and gets IP from the DHCP server, but it cannot send or receive any traffic, although the phone stays connected and authenticated. At home, I use an Atheros based Fonera with DD-WRT without any problem.
As I'm the company's network administrator, I will try to further investigate this problem, but it seems like some kind of incompatibility between the devices or misconfiguration ....

try turn off the wifi, turn off the mobile data and turn on the wifi again
It seems the SGS2 sometimes has problems with DNS.
Try a static IP and use 8.8.8.8 as second DNS server, which is a free Google DNS server.
This fixed MY problems
I rooted my SGS2 and voila wifi worked at my office finally I have been able to find a solution.. love my SGS2 the Beast...
I'm having this same problem..
I think I've tried all the solutions above, but one (Sorry - noob question):
Rooted?
is there a firmware patch or something that I should know about?
Anyone got any other ideas?
ETA:
I can connect to hotspots (DHCP) and at home (Have to set it to static tho)
No internet
AP works - Laptop and i8910 (had to set static and advanced settigs etc). I've rebooted it a few times, set DHCP on and off. DHCP seems to be running on the router

This is an issue with SGS2 with wifi server using authentication protocol TPIK, if you use AES as encryption then it will work without any issues.
That should be a setting in my AP? I can't see it...
If I get a new non-crappy AP is that likely to solve my problem?
ETA:
Ah - that's a WPA thing? Mine only seems to do WEP - is that right?
