I searched in the internet a lot, but there's no clear answer. I have Galaxy Ace s5830 with system Android. I tried connect to home wifi network (this network is secured by WPA2), but my smartphone can't connect. I putted wpa2 password correctly for sure.
When I push "Connect" button, for a while it's "Scanning...", and then says "Disconnect". If I disable security of my home wifi network, I can connect and it's working well.
I don't know where the problem is: on the android system or hardware of my smartphone, or maybe on the router.
I heard that there are problems with Android and WiFi connection by WPA2, but is there no solution or I can't find its.
Thanks.
reset router
Try going to the router settings page & restarting your router. I had this problem on stock rom & this cleared it up for me.
Have you tried rebooting your phone? Its the solution 9 times out of 10
Are you rooted?
You might be locked out of your router. It happend to me yesterday. Try changing security settings to allow devices to connect.

Switch off your phone and turn it on again, if you use a custom ROM there might be a reboot option in power menu

It has done nothing. All the time it works this same. I mean it doesn't work. :/
Just disable broadcasting the ssid, add the hidden network name to phone and it will be good. You even mustn't have a password!
first, do you set your Wi-Fi setting correctly? look up on advanced setting, maybe it sets on static IP
second, try to reinstall your Wi-Fi driver on your SGA using code *#*#526#*#* via ur dial number
hope it's works

so... i search for wifi conections and i find the desired network, i then enter the correct wep password and press conect - it trys to connect for about 5 seconds and the says "disconected"
i have tried using the static ip address method- doesnt work
i have tried hard reset - doesent work
i have updated to 2.1 (about 3 times)- doesnt work
so any ideas?
i will also add that sony erricson support claim that this is not possible
Have you tried another network? Or reboot your router?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
works well on one other network (and used to on this network!) - and yes rebooted but still not worked!
If it works on another network, i dont think its something wrong with your phone.
Try a few other hotspots
If you are using WPA then switch to WPA2 on your router!
I had a simular problem after going to 2.1 both on my mini pro and the ex's lg gt540, not sure what caused it, but reseting the router to factory and re entering all my settings fixed it for some reason
Use wep

I'm having a similar problem with my wife's x10mini. She has it for the past 6 months and has always been able to connect to our home router. Since 2 days ago she has been unable to see the router in her wifi settings and so unable to connect to it. The strange thing is that she can still see all of our neighbors wifi routers, just not ours, that is just 1m away.... I tried manually adding it but it says that the router is out of range.
I have gone through all router settings I can access and the phone still cannot see the router. I've even left the router wide open, without any protection whatsoever and the phone still couldn't see the router, despite seeing all other routers around.
Please give me some ideas to try. I've also formatted the phone and re-installed everything to no avail. I'm getting a bit lost now.
Maybe this can help someone else, my problem was solved by changing the router channel from Auto to Channel 10.
Maybe the router started using a channel that the phone couldn't see/use.

Maybe an complete reinstall of the base system would help also try simply turning on and off your wireless and see if it works
I also experience almost all of these bugs but turnin on and off my wireless fixed my problems

My Mozart for some reason can no longer find my home wi-fi network. It was working just fine 10 minutes ago and now, all of a sudden I unlock it and theres no Wi-Fi connection. Checked in Settings but the network doesnt appear in the list anymore.
The network is fine as im using it on my laptop now to type this and on my iPad. I tried switching Wi-Fi on an off several times and also rebooted the device many times too. I also tried adding the network like it was hidden, but no avail...
Any ideas?
UPDATE (PROBLEM SOLVED)
Okay i got the problem fixed, it wasnt a Windows Phone problem, my router suddenly decided to change the channel it was broadcasting on, it was 6 before, bumped it to 11 and now the phone is able to connect again XD
Are you running Mango?
I had problems connecting to my Wi-Fi pre-Mango when the SSID was hidden. Mango, however seems to connect fine in this scenario.
Apologies... I just re-read your question. I seem to have mis-read the NON HIDDEN network.

Yeah im on official Mango, forced it through Zune... And im certain my network isnt hidden...
If you go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced is the network shown as a 'Known network'? If so, remove it restart your phone and try again.

It was listed and yeah, i tried that too, didnt work.
I think i'll hard reset the phone to the original pre-NoDo ROM and see if i have the same problem, if I do then it might be a hardware issue? Good thing I still have my warranty...
[UPDATE]
I just reset the phone, lost all my data for nothing -.-
[UPDATE 2]
Restored the phone to 7008, same problem... I'll reset the modem in a few hours. I hope that's the problem because the phone has no problem finding and connecting to networks further away from me...
Have you tried enabling the SSID again in the router setup then connect on your handset and finally hiding it again through the router?

Okay so i reset the router, even changed the SSID and password. STILL the Mozart doesnt find it. I think i've exhausted my options
So, there's been quite a few threads on several different forums regarding the "Obtaining IP address.." issue. I have followed every single solution by doing the following:
1. Access AllShare and connect to WiFi using AllShare
2. Access Kies and connect to WiFi using Kies
3. Factory Reset (Hard Reset by pressing Volume Keys and Home)
4. Soft Reset (Via Settings, wipe Data)
5. Static IP option
6. Added Note's MAC address to my router
7. Rebooted router
Nothing works! I also tried to connect to another private network without a Key and a public open network, both of them didn't work.
What to do? My brother bought the phone for me from Rogers and I'm still within the 15 days but I've used over 30 minutes of airtime. Also, I don't have the papers, I'll have to ask my brother but I don't live with him anymore..so I'm kinda stuck.
Does anyone else have any solutions? I called Samsung and they said I have to send it for repair =/
Noone?
I usually just toggle wifi on/off if it gets stuck on obtaining IP address.

At my home network. I have a wifi Extender. connecting to a wireless router. Working fine. I also have another wireless router acts a bridge mode to have a different SSID, i never be able to connect to this bridge connect. it hang it "Obtaining IP...." all the time nomatter how i try on and off
Doesn't do anything to my Note. Sigh.
Thing is, I can't always adjust my home router but what about other networks? When I go to STarbucks, Mcdonalds, Airports, Hotels, I can't ask them to reboot and all that stuff. I have to exchange this phone!
I am away form home now and facing some frustrating issues with my new S3.
1. I cant connect to any WIFI network though the WIFI connection has very good signal strength. I always get the msg 'Network disabled. Poor Connection'. There is nothing wrong with the WIFI as i can connect it with my laptop and my buddy could connect to it using his IPhone.
2. My roaming time is completely wrong. It does not follow the time of the country I am in. It is showing the same time as my home country network. Shouldnt it automatically detect the network and shows the correct time like Iphone?

1. Restart the router & try just using 2.4Ghz in settings > wifi > advanced
2. Ensure: menu > settings > date & time > check [auto date & time] and [auto time zone]

If you happen to have a case on, remove it and try again.

Hi, this is my first post, as I created my account specially with the purpose to answer you.
After being faced with the problem all day and reading all possible materials on the topic in google and here, my dad walked in and asked me why he is not able to connect to our home wireless connection.
This was when I retrieved my hope that the problem is not in the phone. And it was not! My iPhone, my laptop were able to obtain a internet connection in contrast to my other laptop and my S3! I restarted the rooter and everything was ok! Everbody got their internet dose !
So, most probably it isn't you!
Also have wifi problem, except it tells me it's an authentication error. I cannot connect to the WiFi unless I stand right next to it. Can't connect to WiFi anywhere (if you think it's the router in my house), even though the device detects the router. Sent it back to Samsung.

Hey, I experienced the same problem. But in my case, I am able to connect to the AP, if I am using a static IP address in the SGS3 instead of DHCP. Same router, no settings changed there. Just configured a static IP.
Cheers,
Jaegermeister
Same problem
Tried everything still not working, took it back to samsung they said it's working fine any other device is connecting without a problem but the S3 wont (i have 15 S3 with this problem)
Thanks
Bring back the phones to Samsung!

I'm also frequently getting the "Network disabled. Poor Connection" message when at home. I have 2 wifi routers:
- Buffalo WHR G54S
- Draytek 2920n
If I turn wifi off/on on the S3 it sometimes resolves the issue, but not always. Sometimes after turning off/on it shows a status of "Connected"but there is no internet connectivity. If I then switch to the other router I can sometimes (but not always) connect successfully.
I'm running Checkrom v5.5, and have tried both the Perseus and Siyah kernels - both have this problem.
Hi everyone.
I got two brand new SIII GT-I9300 with android 4.1.2 version.
They both have the same problem: when I try to connect to my home wifi connection it says "authenticating" for a couple of seconds an then "disabled".
The network is working, laptops and other android devices are connected.
I tried to digit *#0011# and disable there the power saving mode, but nothing changes.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

what rom are you using?
router settings?
did you check if the number of connected devices is limited or if there are any other restrictions in your router settings?
First factory reset that will clear user errors
I already did the reset of factory settings but with no result.
Router has no limit, but I just found out that wifi works with other networks.
I guess I will have to change some settings in the router, I wonder what.
