OK so I have an incredible problem and I swear I'm not bs you guys, I'm not a troll, it's true.
So, a few weeks ago I bought a Meecol M8S Pro (Amlogic S912, Android 7.1, ARM Cortex A53, 3GB RAM) from Gearbest. The box itself is all right, but it causes a problem I never seen in my life and I never thought it would be possible for any device to do.
Basically, when I turn on the android box, as soon goes in to home screen, right after the splash / intro "Meecol", it messes my Fastweb modem and all my devices can't connect to internet!
They see my WiFi but it's a " Internet but no connection". As u can see from the picture attached, LEDs on my modem goes red, showing some problems. Only turning off the box and rebooting the modem fixes the problem for all the devices. The most incredible thing is that modem "goes crazy" even BEFORE the box actually connects to his WiFi. In those seconds the box goes into home screen and is stll searching WiFi , I can already see my modem is already messed up! Note that if I keep all my devices turned on (the android box too) and THEN reboot / turn on my modem, everything is OK and they all connect, but obviously this is no solution to reboot my modem every time...
I can only assume is some problem related to IP addresses or something, I went in to settings but everything seems all right. What could it be? And how the hell a single android device can mess a modem and connection for all devices?!?!
Change from DHCP settings to manually assigned IP addresses.

Do u mean Settings > WiFi > -my network properties- > Advanced Options > IP > I have to switch from DHCP to Static? What parameters do I have to set? I see IP Address, Gateway, DNS1, DNS 2...
By the way, in the attachment you can see from my modem settings, how i see all my devices when leds on moden are red, "Internet without connection" for all devices
- The Android Box
- My Notebook
- My Philips smart tv
- One Chromecast in the kitchen
- My Nexus 5
There are plenty of tutorials showing how assign static IP addresses on a device.
Since it is slightly different for all in the menu I can't give you specific advice on that bit.
Your router offers an IP range for your devices and you have to assign a unique IP to every device that connects.
E.G.: Router home page is on 192.168.0.1
Set IP range in the router is 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.255
Then every device needs and IP within this range, the default gateway is your routers IP.
DNS use Google's default 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I see...can I just set static IP for the android box and keep DHCP for all the rest? Or do I have to change to Static for all of them?
P.S. Nevermind, I figured out...OK, I'll do some tests...
Best to do it for all devices.
How did your test go?
I assume all working as expected now?

Still testing...first time I set IP static, right after that, at the first boot, modem went crazy again...but just once. After that time, everything is OK. So, still testing...
OK a little update. Basically the IP static thing it was working...randomly. Sometimes working, sometimes no, sometimes it didn't make any difference.
But I just found out something very odd. If I forget my WiFi password on the android box and I turn it on (so basically it won't even try to connect, because it doesn't know the password anymore...like a new network)...the router still goes crazy! How the hell is this possible???
P.s. as u can see, the WiFi's android box is not even turned on!
I don't know your router but it could be a safety feature.
Some turn the WiFi off if there were too many unauthorised access attempts.
As the box has dual wifi it might be that it tries to connect on both frequencies at the same time.
In case your router is dual band too try to turn off one band and see if that helps.

U didnt get the point. Read carefully my previous post. Wifi's android box is OFF! It doesn't even TRY to connect to my network! Basically , being turned on near the router is enough! I know it sounds absurd, but that's what happens. See the video. What kind of impulse - emp - vodoo waves this thing have?!?!
You are right, I missed that bit, sorry.
But it might explain the problem!
Just for fun: Place the box in a big tin can or small metal bucket so the metal hields it into the direction of your router.
If the router performs fine now then you found the culprit named interference.
Always had it the other way around though, wiFi devices for example messing with my DVB-T receivers...
In your case I see two possible culprits: The power supply and the box itself.
For the power supply you could try if the box works (for a test only) by using a USB cable to power it.
If shielding the box helps then we might have to find out what causes the interference or find a way to shield the box without buckets and cans.

OK, don't bother that, I just found out something potentially important. I tried every possible solution and combination possible, thinking if its not wifi or Bluetooth interference, I thought "...uhm even of its not connected to wifi or Bluetooth to anything, it is connect trough HDMI to my TV...and my TV is indeed connected to my network (Philips smart TV)...could it be...?"...
I WAS RIGHT. If I turn on the android box NOT connected to TV, router is OK...as soon as I connect the HDMI cable, boom, it all goes to **** again.
Remember, android box's wifi and Bluetooth are always OFF.
solution?
Check HDMI settings on box and TV.
I don't have a big- or smart enough TV...
But if the box can control the TV over HDMI, or the other way around, you might get troubles if something is not working 100%.
I doubt the cable itself will be the problem as these are usally shielded and working in a totally different frequency range but if you have a spare cable try it too.
Friend of mine has similar problem with his noname 60" tv when he uses the tablet for Netflix.
For some reason we still can't figure out TV and tablet try to sync the Wifi - for a lack of explaining it better.
No matter what the TV is set to, once Netflix is started to stream on the TV a different protocol is used and no Wifi works anymore.
The router though does not turn into a xmas tree...
If you can set all to basic HDMI, no CEC or automaic stuff like switching the TV on when the box gives signal.
Also double check that all your devices use assigned and unique IP addresses - only too often DHCP is a culprit by giving out addresses already used by other devices in your network.
Edit:
Bit old but just one of the many websites that point to problems on Phillips TV's.
https://threatpost.com/wifi-bug-plagues-philips-internet-enabled-tvs-2/105134/
Wifi seems only to work properly if the router is not invisible and other WiFi problems are not fixed for years by the manufacturer.
TV might be smart, Phillips certainly is not LOL
OK, tried other milions of combinations and finally I found the "problem" even if its even more absurd.
First of all, I have to say also my PC desktop (not even turned on lol!) is connected to my TV. That's it: if those 2 (android box and PC) are connected to tv by HDMI, if I turn on the android box, my router goes Christmas. So what I did:
- If it's an IP address problem (trough HDMI?!?!), I tried to just disconnect the Ethernet cable in the back of the PC: still Christmas!
- so I tried to COMPLETELY turning off the PC on the back, with the master power button: still Christmas! WHAT THE HELL?!?! IMPOSSIBLE!
- At this point I just tried to keep the HDMI cable plugged to nothing. Literally just one end to the TV and the other end disconnected from the PC.
FIX IT! LOOOOOOL
SERIOUSLY? ONE DAMN HDMI CABLE?
By the way, I never had any problem with THAT cable, I don't remember where I bought it, but I've been playing my games on computer trough my TV for years...never a problem. By the way, is a mini HDMI - HDMI cable, knowing me, a cheap one from eBay...at the moment I do have other HDMI - HDMI cables, but no other mini HDMI, this is the only one I ever got. Tomorrow I'm gonna buy another one, but in the meantime...what the hell is going on? Lol
Well, at least you found the source of the problem....

Ok, I have read every single thread (to my knowledge) about the Wifi Connect Issue. I have tried all the manual tricks (changing router settings / channels / changed SSID / passwords / Security / reset router to factory / airplane mode / factory reset on GTab, etc) and STILL can NOT connect my GTab to home router.
I CAN connect it to my Galaxy S Vibrant Mobile AP Wireless, I can also connect every other device to my Router without issue. (Vibrant / Nook Color / Archos 70 IT / Wireless Printer, etc)
I'd be happy to toss a donation tip to whoever can help me with this...it's truly EFFIN frustrating. I can get speeds of 12-15MB/s on all my other devices off the router wireless connection. With the GTab I'm just stuck in a cycle of "Obtaining IP Address...Connecting...Obtaining...yadda effin yadda"
Running VEGAn-Tab 5.1
BTW - bought it earlier tonight...totally lovin this thing, beastly! Compared with my 4 other Android Devices, it's nutz! Thanks to all of your great info and ROMs!

Only other thing I can think of is wacked out router, or maybe some mac filtering, upnp, or other "helpful" crap on the router that is causing it to not connect. I don't own any Belkin devices. I stick to Linksys or D-Link...
Sorry, man...
Have you tried connecting to a different wireless network? (sorry if this was already suggested.) Coffee house or any other company with free wireless, maybe at your job?

Connects to my girlfriends belkn n600. But thats a brand new router just installed last night. 69 at best buy
Couple of thoughts:
you may just have a defect. it happens. can't hurt to return for another one
not sure what type of router you have, but most if not all allow you to look at the event log. from there you should be able to tell why it's not being assigned an address (i.e. p/w wrong, range not avail, etc)
is your router restricting the type of access? (i.e. "b" but not "g" or "n")
didn't see in earlier posts, but have you been able to connect to any wifi networks? (i.e. public ones, or a mobile device's hotspot)
1) Is your router set to only serve out a small number of IP addresses via DHCP? Perhaps the available IPs have been used by other devices
2) I know you did a factory reset, but make sure MAC filtering is not turned on. Not sure what the Belkin defaults to but should be off unless you want to add the MACs manually to the whitelist.
3) If your SSID is showing up in the Wireless list on your GTablet, try deleting it (long press, then Forget) and then re-add it...You may have "cached" some old settings from your previous configurations...
A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?
OK so work have blocked several of us from connecting our phones to wifi. Now we have a router her but can not access it so image they blocked at the main offices where they manage the network. Their are several houses that have their own routers etc but connected to the same network if that makes sense.
So my question is first how would they block us and second how can we bypass it?

Several ways to block access to a wifi routers.
Ways to access the network would be bring your own from home,and plug it in to the network.
To many ways to block you out to know what they have done.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA
Probably two reasons why they did this -
1) Prevent rogue devices connecting to their network, i.e. devices they cannot control what is on them and therefore could introduce viruses into the network or allows others to hack in and steal data etc.
2) Prevent people connecting personal devices for personal use, downloading files, facebook etc. Using company time and resources for unproductive personal tasks.
Probably easiest to ask them why and to ease the restrictions.
On the how:
You can control what connects to what on a very fine level - by device, by what it does and who it can talk to.
Ye I understand why. They blocked us as their network is really slow and rubbish but when we do nights and no one is using it its nice to be able to connect as no signal their. Just wondered if their was a way to get around it. They seem to have blocked all phones that were connected but one that was has been able to reconnect which is a blackberry.

How to by pass works blocking phone 2 options
By pass I've discovered! May not work for all
WARNING TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
#1 way I've discovered (in my office)
(Other wise try bring your own wifi router and setting the ssid to company's name )
If you have a pc or Mac computer and plug Incoming Ethernet port into LAN port not WAN then from 1-4 LAN port into pc/Mac Ethernet )
Try hiding your wifi router either in tower box or in desk try to be not so obvious leaving cables everywhere , don't just leave out in the open for everyone to see..
What I did
(I've hide the router in the under my desk using 3M double sided tape and tucked the cables away so there not hanging down)
#2 way ( works anywhere you can get a wifi signal)
My. Discovered by pass :
I got a wifi repeater/ range extender
I've programmed it to my work network with their ssid and password
Then
On the repeater / extender
Your new Access Point
I used the same ssid but used a different password
(At this point you have created your own AP , which logins to your network wifi and then
Now
When I go home I just unplug my repeater and lock it up in my desk
Good luck Jason
Ps: option #1. if you need more help try YouTube if your confused what to do with wifi router
SEARCH "using old router as a wifi extender (or as second AP)
My boss already block ssid wifi for usage at handphone, only laptop can connect that wifi. How i can connect wifi via my handphone? Currently i use i phone 6s.
Any trip for unblock for connect to my phone?
What kills me about my situation is some dumb ass did streaming video one day and ran up like XXXX gb of data so naturally they started giving a damn about who was doing what... I got banned/blocked even though I've never streamed... I'm assuming I'm blocked... got the right password and my old phone said authentication failed. My new phone it doesn't say or haven't found where it says yet... I can't bring in my own connection as I don't have a office of my own and the building is too big and metal for the mobile signal to make it to my location...
edit: According to my idiot boss they're getting strict I guess and just blocking most stuff... ?

I have an Asus Slider Sl101. Around 3 days ago, our router had been changes as the previous one wasn't working properly. Our carrier is Charter and our router is Netgear. We hooked every device up to that new router and everything worked fine, including the tablet. But later on in the day,the Internet on there stopped working.
It shows that it's connected, but when I try to access the internet through the browser, it does not work. The blue line at the top of the browser starts up, moves forward a little, and stops entirely while the browser then says "Webpage Not Available". Apps that require Internet, such as Accuweather and my SAT apps, fail to work as well. Other devices that use our wifi include another computer and Nintendo DSi and 3DS. They all work fine. Our router shows that our android is connected to it, as well.
I've tried the static IP stuff, restarted the router, left the wifi off on the tablet for a few hours, and turned it off and off. I even factory resetted it and not even that helped.
I apologize in advance if I haven't given enough information; that's as much as I know save for whatever I can include from the tablet (IP Address and such).
Try changing encryption method

If the problem is not of the device, many network problems are usually caused by encryption or are due to the channel where the router works. Both settings are settable in the admin panel.

The things is, though, my tablet was working when we changed the router. Ever since then, nothing has changed when it comes to settings and all. Every other mobile device is working well and the computer out front that uses wifi works well.
In your eyes, the router seems to be the main problem, right? Do you think if we call our internet provider--Charter-- and ask for a new one that it might be able to work as it will be new and all? Or will it most likely not help too much?

In your eyes, the router seems to be the main problem, right? Do you think if we call our internet provider--Charter-- and ask for a new one that it might be able to work as it will be new and all? Or will it most likely not help too much?

If the problem is the settings of the router, this will not solve the problem..
The device successfully connects to other networks? You can do this test to see if the problem is the device or not.
hi sir i have already hack wifi paasword but not connected
password is correct sometime before i have connect
Is the router 2.4 or 5ghz, and is the tablet the same?
Got a free n200 through tmobile to use as a hotspot device for my pc. I was previously getting the job done by using a galaxy note 3 and setting my pc's ttl to 65 but apparently that doesn't work with the newer phones.
I did some searching online and haven't been able to get a definitive solution to bypassing the hotspot throttle, as people seem to have varying results.
Had a lot of issues with PDAnet+, so it's definitely not a long-term solution for me.
Just sent an unlock request to OnePlus, hopefully by next week I'll get the unlock file and I'll root the phone. I'm assuming that rooting the phone will expand my options for what I want to do. Anyone have a solution that worked for them?
Yo, it's like dns hijacking, in fact, this is what you have to do to bypass this.
I'll paint a scenario, see what you make of it...
I plug my sim into a wifi router, in the control panel of this router, I set the wifi to use the 2nd ip, (yes, all isp's actually give you 2 ip's, one that is public, one the isp use's to spy on you, and the one you see in your ethernet card, usually 192.168.1.1.
Your wifi router runs adb, so it is on a different network, being 192.168.0.1, if you set your connecting device to your public ip shown by the router, and nxbogus domain your isp's private number seen in the router, (usually 100.whatever) and their dns, then set your prefered dns in the connecting device, you will bypass the throttling, but you will notice something else...
They throttle you by lowering your phones coverage lol...
Notice in your wifi setup pages your signal will drop from say 75% to 25%, and if you check the config logs, you'll see your limited 90% by the isp..
Yup, I'm isp level in this department..
didn't understand half of what you said. can you break it down a lil bit more?

yea i'm using easytether rn, very similar to foxfi and pdanet+... not a permanent solution however, as it tends to randomly disconnect and i often get kicked out of games due to "network lag". Speeds are exponentially faster than the throttled hotspot, however, so i wont complain.
still, would be nice if there was a solution to this for the native hotspot/tether features... tried everything with apns and changing the ttl on the phone but it didn't work.
looks like someone found a solution for the moto g 5g here, maybe i'll try to implement this for the n200, could be a possible workaround.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection. Make sure ADB is working and you can establish a working adb connection from PC to phone first prior to attempting to tether since it will use ADB. i get full speeds tethering using the paid version.

yeah i've been doing this via easy tether, gets the job done for the most part
For me, PDAnet has low throughput while EasyTether runs full speed and can be used with OpenWRT. They both disconnect randomly though.
No reason to deal with that if you have root. AdGuard+VPNHotspot+noprovisioning is easy to setup and works fine for most networks.

Only connection is WAN to WAN!
Ok, first, I use an lte wifi router, enter gui, goto lan, change router login ip to any ip not 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the latter is hidden in router, but when trying to connect 2nd router, using this ip, problems appear, because the 1st router has adb enabled due to the lte section of 1st router being android 6, and uses's it.
So in effect, I set 1st routers address to 192.168.1.5, 255.255.254.0, 192.168.1.3 ie, this is 1st router login address. In the 2nd router I set mac address of 1st router to use 192.168.1.3, having been set in the 1st.
I do this because if I set 2nd router to match 1st routers address, the 2nd router auto changes address, when plugged in to first, and the 1st router changes too.
So now that you can goto 192.168.1.1 in 2nd router with 1st plugged in, try 192.168.1.3.
First part over, now the tricky part...
Disconnect 2nd router (this Will become your MAIN router)
Start 1st router with sim in, only to obtain public ip, because you need to set this ip in WAN of 2nd router. If your ip changes every reboot, you need to check public ip from first router match's what you set the wan ip to in 2nd router.
Now when you are in 1st router's network/lan settings, look for option to use 2nd ip. enable it, in the ip box put your public ip, ie your internet ip, and remove all access to anything else, including disabling wifi, both 2.5 and 5g.
So now plug in 2nd router WAN to first routers WAN.
Go into 2nd router, and block the PRIVATE ip seen in 1st router, the ip the isp shows you, and NX=bogusdomain your isp's private dns
In your WAN page of 2nd router, set preferred dns.
Voila.
70-80% increase in response.
The hardware method to block dns hijacking
Ps any reboot of the first router will change its ip due to being lte, so remember to check 2nd router match's after any power outage...
