[Q] WiFi not catching

---

My dormitory has wireless connection.

My laptop catches WiFi (although it disconnects every once in awhile), but my Nexus S just never catches dormitory WiFi no matter how many times I scan them.

iPod Touch seems to work fine though.

Any clue?

It uses unsecured method, where one can connect without a router password, but one has to enter a school ID/password when you open any page on the browser because browser directs one to school log-in page.

My Nexus S catches school-wide WiFi no problem though. It's just the dormitory WiFi.

Thanks!

How strong is your signal?

I had this problem with my epic 4g once
Connect your computer to that network
Type in ipconfig on cmd prompt
Find your ip address
It should be across from gateway ip
type it in on any web browser
Your going to get a login screen
Type admin for password and leave username blank
Now there is going to be a bunch options now click factory reset or something like that and you should be good

I will try that tomorrow when I go back to my dorm. Sounds like a solution. Thanks!

Possibly related to this major Android bug Google has been ignoring for a year now:

I just see 'a page not found' when I enter gateway ip address on the browser. I tried the ip4v and other numbers as well, but same results.
