This WiFi issue is killing me!

[thewayne01]

I know Google has said they are looking into it. But this is ridiculous. The N1 can not handle WPA2 connections. Even though it saves the connection and password, it almost never reconnects automatically. From what I was reading on the Google help forum, it appears to have compatibility issues with many retail routers and they suggest upgrading the firmware on our routers. Throughout my day, I may connect to 3 different APs. One is a standard Linksys wrt54g with sveasoft, the others I connect to are Cisco APs.

None of them automatically reconnect. Most of the time on the Linksys, I have to delete the connection on the phone and re-add it.

I still like this phone but between the 3g and wifi issue, it is a pain to use.

I won't pretend to understand all that you just said, but I can tell you that my router is set up using WPA2-PSK. Not sure if it is the same as just WPA2 but my N1 reconnects to mine whenever I get in range. Then at the office it will connect to the WPA2-PSK set up in there, and one more regular open connection that is available at our pool. Pretty much every time I look at it, it is connected to one of those 3. Or else if I am OOR of any of those, I am on 3G.

My home router is a Belkin -N. Work routers are a Netgear -N and a D-Link -N.

I've got a Netgear WNR2000 on WPA2, and I can confirm I occasionally have this issue with the phone not connecting to the network automatically. It usually does if I go into settings and touch it to reconnect again.

There is an easy solution for any WIFI problems, use a Mac Filter!!

I have to go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi Settings before my Nexus One will reconnect to my home router, which is also using WPA2-PSK.

Hopefully it'll be sorted in a firmware update, it is annoying having to go through 3 screens to do something that my Nokia Symbian phones have been doing without issue for almost5 years...

I am having no problems auto connecting to my home WPA2 network, I am using AES encryption and running DD-WRT firmware if it helps.

Mac Filters are no replacement for WPA2 or encryption. Almost every device has the ability to spoof a mac address. Using a mac filter might help quickly eject roaming devices nearby, but it is NOT security.

Its like using a No Trespassing sign to replace locking your doors and windows.

i found that APNDriod may be a possible culprit....

Before I installed APNDriod , every times I go back home, my N1 will connect to my home WiFi almost immediately.

But after I install APNDriod, my N1 will not connect to my home WiFI.....I need to go into the Wireless setting screen, once i am on that screen WiFi it will connect.

But it is strange this I don't have this issue in my office, it just connect automatically before and after installing APNDriod.

Today I tried NOT to use APNDriod for a day and my N1 connect to my home WiFi without issue..... will do more experiment tmr.

Netgear WNR3500 w/ WPA2-PSK. Reconnects every time I am in range.

I find that my Linksys is the worst. The Cisco Aironet 1121 is better, but still has occasional connection issues. And I have not installed APNDroid.

On another note, when my phone switches from 3g to 2g and vice versa, it takes a long time for the data connection to resume

My network at home is setup with WPA2. I have no problems connecting to it... I click on the little wireless icon, and wait for it to say "wireless settings updated" and also wait for the wireless icon to show up near the time... then i will start browsing

I have a Dynalink RTA1025W

My wifi is working now. See h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5773148&postcount=26

No problem reconnecting to my home network with WPA2 . Apple's Airport Extreme.

 

[cheetah2k]

No problems here connecting to my Belkin N1 router. Connects the moment its in range.

Setup using WPA2-PSK

im having this exact same problem on my D-link Dir 615!

Pisses me off alot, i hope Google fix it!

I found that unless I was on channel 6 or 11 I had issues

AES-CCMP, TKIP or WPA Cisco521G will not connect

My cisco 521AP does not connect using any type of encryption, it only works with open authentication. Expensive phone like this that doesnt work with business class products is a joke.

@xoveruk - Someone must be able to help sort out this issue !

My suggestion is - check what you're doing wrong before assuming the phone is at fault. And check that you're using PSK.

SEC AUTH ENCRYPTION

No security None Open - working

WEP WEP Open - no

WPA-PSK TKIP WPA-PSK - no
