WiFi issue or am I just doing it wrong?

[MikeDroid]

Did you set up the router yourself and what brand of router? I don't have my Droid yet.. tomorrow!., however I have helped friends set up other Wi-Fi enabled phones and it seems to come down to they don't pick the right setting on the phone re: security and sometimes have a typo when they enter the string. Someone here said there network was not secure(??) and that is a dangerous thing to do in today's world ..

i set up the router myself but followed a simple onscreen wizard :P It's a Cisco/Linksys N-Ultra WRT310N if that makes any difference?

[MikeDroid]

What security settings did you use on router? WPA ect?

[Trever1t]

yes, it's WPA2 encryption

Did you ever figure this out? I'm have the same exact problem. My network is WAP-2, I'm connecting but no surfy....

most issues are solved by power cycling the router. Try that before anything drastic

Have had the same problem with my Droid. The NIC in the Droid is not very robust IMHO. It would be connected but not able to surf. I completely solved this problem by downloading WIFI Fixer (in the market; free). It does an icmp ping to keep the connection active and overcomes the lack of robustness of the Droid WIFI.

i have a wifi issue that popped up tonight too...

i was out with a buddy that has a iphone and he wanted to test download speed of our 3g ver mine. he had an app called speedtest.net. so i checked and we have it too. so i downloaded it, it worked great. i was around 1.8 meg down and he was almost a meg. the place we were at had wifi, so we tried that too. i went up to a little over 2meg down and he was about the same. we ran each a few times and it varied a bit. my verzion always showed faster thou, so i don't see at&t's hype about being the fastest at all around here. but now when i get home and try to connect to mine. it connects, but no data will go thru. my home wifi has worked before, my laptop is working on it. and i even tired a unlocked singal from next door, it says it connects, gets the ip and then shows connected, but nothing.


my phone is about 3 days old. did the wifi just somehow break? or maybe the app killed it? i've tried uninstalling the speed test app, doing a restart and a battery pull and nothing. it shows connected, good signal, but nothing loads, not even google talk can log in till i turn wifi off.


any thoughts? i did try the wifi fixer app, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Not sure if this helps, but my security is set to "automatic" on my connections.

sometimes you have to wait for the router to assign an ip to the device, this can take anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. can you try to wait?
