wifi obtaining IP then disconnects (in a cycle)

[iamjoe]

I have a DROID 1 (not rooted) running 2.2.1

I cannot connect to any wifi.

When I enable wifi I get

wifi scanning > obtaining IP address > then nothing > repeats the same process.

Help!
Thanks

A) I'll assume your router is broadcasting and B) That you have allowed it to be discovered?

Sounds like no available WiFi?

I have tried to connect to my work wifi and my home wifi. I have connected before. I recently reset my droid. Since then I re-entered my WEP key. Now I cannot get connected?

Hello, are you running a custom ROM by any chance?

 

[iamjoe]

no custom ROM. I am not rooted.Thanks

Might want to try another factory data reset if you just performed one before the glitch. I hope we can get this resolved

Take out your battery for 30 seconds, then bring your phone up. Let it sit there for a good two minutes, then try connecting again. I had the same problem as you when I had my droid.

Good Luck.

That did the trick. I turned off DROID > Took the battery out > waited 2+ minutes > then fired it up. Wifi connected.

Thanks Homie!

Glad you goit it fixed boss. Wifi can definently be a big advantage with wireless speeds over 3g speeds
