JB problem

[devdeuce]

Have you tried connecting at a public hotspot? Does the Razr work? When I bought my Razr I had to upgrade my old router for the Razr to work. All of my laptops, DVR, tablets all connected fine, but not the Razr.

I haven't tried that yet, just want it to work at home which it did prior to jb. I'd rather not have to buy a new router. If it worked with ics out should work with jb in my opinion.

Forget the network in the phone, log into your router and look for your trusted devices and try to remove the phone.

It may have saved your phone in ICS and something may have changed with JB.

After doing this, if your router has WPS available, try connecting with this. Go to WiFi settings on phone and press the double arrows on bottom left of screen then press WPS button on router.

Just another thing to try.

I would try but don't think my router works like that. As far as i know, it doesn't have a trusted device list. Anything can connect to it, just have to enter password. And there are no buttons anywhere on router.

I understand wanting it to work at home, but elimiate the easy things first, try the phone at Mc Donalds, if it works, then it is a router problem. Strange things do happen with updates, everything I owned worked on my old router except the Razr.

I do agree with you and do believe that it has something to do with the router and jelly bean not getting along. I just think that since it worked with ics and if enough people have the same problem there should be a fix instead of everyone having to buy a new router.

Sorry to report good news,
but the 98.72.16 update went smooth for me, and everything works (3G/4G, Wifi, bluetoof, etc).

Just like it did on GB, ICS, JB Leak, JB .16 --- taken every OTA from Verizon, never done a single FDR, and it all works luckily.

I also believe that my router at home is using WEP, and I had no Wifi access problems between any of the OS releases.

devdeuce did you login to the router access page? It might be 192.168.1.1 or something like that. Maybe 192.168.1.254 or .255

See what access page you can there, and see what devices may be listed. If it does have a Droid RAZR instance from ICS, maybe that is what is preventing the JB version of the device from connecting.

I did get on the access page but i didn't see anywhere where it had a list of devices. I don't really know what I'm doing, but i looked and didn't see anything like that. Thank you though.

When i forget my router, the signal strength is excellent then when i put in the password and try and connect the signal drops to nothing if that means anything to anyone.

I noticed that on my router it says MAC Authentication: disabled and looking on my razr it has a MAC address, could this be the problem? My phone also says IP address: unavailable, is this as it should be?

If there's anyone still following and trying to figure this out, i got into my router and told it to accept MAC and i still couldn't connect. I even tried typing in my razr Mac address specifically.

Devdeuce, sorry for the delay in response. I think we all have given you the simple possible solutions we could think of and are now stuck for new ideas. My guess is the problem is deeper and you might have to start from scratch as if you are first setting up your router. I know when I had this problem (I think it was when my thrive went from honey comb to ICS...which was before my Razr M went to JB, otherwise I may have had same problems with the M), I went to the trouble shooting pages on my router's web site to figure it out and went step by step through their solutions.

Give me the brand and model # of your router and I might be able to find web pages that will help specific to your router.

If it is any consolation, my router is over 10 years old. I had my doubts worrying that I would have to buy a newer router but that was not the case...my old router works fine on JB.

Thanks. Just saw a thread on the Motorola community that is devoted to the exact same problem, so it is a problem with jelly bean and certain routers. There is no solution on that thread either so I'm sure people much smarter than i have tried and haven't come up with anything yet. Thanks for all the ideas, maybe someone will come up with something here or @ Motorola. My router is an actiontec gt701-wg

Well done on JB
