Nookie Froyo WIFI issues

[abarron]

I am having problems getting a successful wifi connection if it uses WPA. Open seems to work and occasionally the WPA does connect but no pattern to suggest why it will occasionally connect. Wifi works fine with autonooter. I am using a class 4 SD.......

thanks Andy

I have this problem with WEP as well. Some networks it will connect to, others it will not. It seems very flaky.

Bumping this from the dead as I'm having problems with WPA as well. Have connected with success on open networks, but it's a no-go at home on a WPA-secured network.

Any tips?

Sorry for your issues. I have no problem with my WPA-PSK

Huh...I can connect at home and at the office with WPA without any problems. Wireless G? N? Not sure what that would have to do with it, but both home and work are G networks currently.

I went back to the stock nook side and connected to the home network (Wireless G, WPA) without any issues.

So yeah, it's just the froyo card, and it's just WPA. Inside froyo my home network is visible and I am shown as being "connected," but if I try to open a browser, connect to the market, email, whatever, it's a no-go.

So you can use the stock Nook browser but not the Froyo browser?

Okay...that's...um...weird. I was about to suggest that you may have MAC address locking on your router; on mine the client will appear to "connect" but can't do anything until I add that MAC to the accept list.

Yep. That's exactly the case. I set up the wifi from both sides, too, I'm not taking anything for granted for granted here.

And to reiterate, I first set the froyo card up at a different location and was able to connect and use the open wifi there.

So I have no idea what this is all about. Totally stumped.

Just as a test, maybe disable WPA from your home router to see if it can connect then? Isolate what the problem is a little more maybe.

 

[rootkit123]

Yeah, I've got to try something. I'm not sure what that will tell me, though, as I know the Android side can connect to an open network, and I know the WPA network at home can be connected to by other devices (including the stock side of the NC).

I'll probably just wind up wiping the card and starting over, making sure to connect to wireless (open and protected) before I push apps or files and set things up in my launcher. I was really hoping others had run into this problem, sounds like I'm the only one. SAD FACE.

Thanks for the chat, dcreed, and if anyone out there has run into this problem and played around with it, please chime in!

I'm bumping this as I'm in serious need of help.

Thinking my issues were hardware related, I exchanged the NC for a new one. The same thing is happening with my home network, no matter its settings (open, WEP, WPA, G, B, MAC filter on/off). Both the B&N Stock and Android (Nookie Froyo) sides connect to the network just fine -- Settings> Wireless> Wifi shows "Connected to Homenetwork" with an assigned IP. However, while I can web browse in B&N stock, I can't web browse, connect to Market, etc. on the Android side. All I can do is connect to my router setup page in Android.

Could anyone point me to a resource to step me through diagnosing this problem? I'm desperate.
