WiFi has just completely quit

[ArkAngel06]

My WiFi isn't working at all...When I first got the phone, this happened, but then I set up a static IP address, and it seemed to fix it for a few weeks, but now its acting up again. When browsing the web with wifi, it will load the bar about half full then just stop, and not load the page....In the Marketplace, it cant download anything. I reset my router, hard reset my phone, erased all my router settings, and have tried just about everything, even waiting it out to see if it came back, but its been more than a day now.

Anyone know why this is or how to fix this?

Did you try to change your security settings?

 

[ArkAngel06]

Like turn it off? My router only has WEP for whatever reason.

For whatever reason? It has WEP because you haven't changed it. There's your reason.

I'm assuming you have other wireless devices to verify that it is not your router? Try your phone at a friend's place or a coffee shop that has open Wifi so we can eliminate the issue being your phone.

No, I'm saying it has wep only, it doesn't allow wpa, or anything else. Wep or off. I know what I'm doing...and I hope that I wouldn't have to disable security to use WiFi.

My iPhone still works on WiFi, I will try at a public AP later today, after work.

My WiFi has disappeared too. Have you found a fix? I got a new router a few days ago and set it all up - connected my Evo and everything was just fine. Tonight, my wifi signal isn't even showing up - it's as if I'm in an area without wifi. The check box is checked in WIFI, but says "disconnected", then when I click on my connection below, it says strength: EXCELLENT (because I'm sitting right beside it) but no signal, no connection!?!?!

Remake the wifi network on your phone... and when your putting the settings in, make sure you scroll down for settings like password.... it's easy to miss that.

If he didn't have security set right, he wouldn't even be able to partially download a page.

You haven't answered pownst_r's question: Can you verify that your router is working with other devices? Have you tried your phone on another router?

On the screen with the list of available access points, tap the connection that you want. A popup will appear. Tap connect. There, you're back on.

In my experience, the EVO will periodically disconnect from my access point even though I have wifi sleep set to never. I then have to manually reconnect it.

Things sound a little funky from the start---you shouldn't have needed to set a static IP when you first got the phone. Do other devices connected to the wifi access point also require static IP addresses, or just the EVO?

Did you accidentally give the same static IP address to two different devices? Or, did you assign the EVO a static IP address from the range of dynamic addresses that the access point hands out?

Same Problem

I am having the same issue as the OP.

Does not mater if I am at home (with WPA) or a cafe with open Wi-Fi, the Evo will not connect, even though it it says that it is connected.

I have tried deleting and resetting the connection to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I never got back to this, cause after work, I went to a public WiFi connection, and it worked, but then when I got home it worked too, and now it's still working fine.

Just an odd problem. Sorry I cant be of more help.
