    Droid Incredible connects to WiFi, but doesn't allow internet access

    I was having a problem with my Droid Incredible connecting to my WEP secured home network. I finally switched the network to WPA Personal security and the Incredible now connects and gets an IP address assigned. HOWEVER, although it connects to the network, the phone will not connect to the internet. Has anyone else been experiencing these WiFi problems with the incredible? Any solutions out there?

    Thanks for the reply. I tried turning off static ip and although it still connected to the network, it still won't connect to the internet. Any other ideas?

    do you happen to have your router set up so it only recognizes devices through a MAC address?

    I don't think I have my router setup only to recognize MAC addresses. Both of my laptops connect just fine. One uses Windows 7 and the other uses Windows Vista. Also my PS3 and Wii link up just fine as well. I had to change the security from WEP (the phone couldn't even connect to it) to WAP. Now, the phone finds the network and connects very quickly. I just can't use the internet once using the WiFi.

    Any other ideas to try?

    I'm having the same problem as well. Don't know if any of my setup matches yours, but i have a WEP security, Comcast ISP, using a Linksys WRT54GX2 router (1.01.14 firmware) i've tried rebooting the router, tried changing the wireless to G only (from Mixed mode). There is MAC filtering, but i put my phones MAC addy in, and can connect to the network.
    I was wondering if changing the security to WPA, would do anything, but I guess that didnt work for slappy. My phone is set for DHCP. I also tried to make the phone a static IP, but that didnt help either.

    Dont know if my setup matches anyone elses, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try changing the wifi channel on the router. I live in a condo building with lots of wireless networks. Trying a different wifi channel fixed the problem for me.

    I think I had this problem when I first got my incredible. What I did was change the security key type from WPA2 to WEP, reset the router, turn off MAC filtering or whatever it was, then back to WPA2.

    For some reason it worked, and I haven't had a problem with it ever since.

    Under advanced tab, advanced network, on your router (mine is a D-Link) enable multicast streams. I was having issues with having a full connection with my WiFi, but no access to web, market, etc. I messed with my router for about an hour before I tried this, and now it is working perfectly fine, with download speeds of 5.69 Mbps, and 3.13 upload speeds(per the Speedtest app.) Hope this helps! P.S. I didn't have to change the security of the router either, left it on WPA2
