This WiFi issue is killing me!

[Jep4444]

ya my WRT160N gives my phone issues using WPA2 but it was nothing wifi fixer didn't solve

Cisco case raised - Excellent, but no resolution.
HTC support - Beyond useless.
Google - Not interested.

Summary - 400quid for a phone that does not support Cisco access points, this phone is flawed.

Verdict E-

This N1 does not connect to the 521 but does to the Linksys WRT54G openWRT. I can connect other phones and laptops to the 521.

Ive had no issues regarding wifi

Netgear WNDR-3300 running DDWRT 802.11n WPA2
Nexus one running Kang O Rama 1 beta1

Sometimes routers work in both WPA and WPA2 mode, and I guess devices connect according to their capabilities. I think mine is in this mode, and I think my Nexus one has problem reconnecting as well. I will check now. I rarely use wifi since my 3g data plan is unlimited.

Confirmed: I have the same issue. When the wifi turns off on the n1, the 'wifi networks available' notification appears (when I turn the screen back on again), but it doesnt reconnect. and it says "scanning" in the settings. I wonder if it has to do with my AP being wireless N (when I got the N1, it didnt even see my AP, because of the mixed 20/40 MHz channel width mode).

If you're rooted, you can try other ROMs or install the fixed WiFi driver:

It's not a fix for this problem, but it might have some effect. If not - since Nexus connects to a bunch of WPA2-secured routers, including 2 of my own (and one running mixed WPA/WPA2 mode), I suppose that the problem lies specifically between Nexus and 521G, and might possibly be fixed from any side - either the Nexus driver, or Cisco FW. Either side might be at fault.

If you're knowledgeable in networks - you can fire up a low-level WiFi protocol sniffer on a PC and see, what is the traffic being exchanged and where is the failure. It might help the Android devs to fix the driver, or Cisco to fix the FW.

linksys wrt54g2 and WPA2-PSK works just fine on my n1, when i come into range, it connects

I will look at changing the wireless driver.
