Trouble to connect on wifi Milestone - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I came to visit my bro and sis in Miami and can not connect to either of their two wifi networks at their house. But yet I was able to connect to a TMobile hotspot, and a hotspot at Miami intl mall. I have no idea WTF gives! It's distressing me. Back home I was able to connect to various wifi's without a problem.
On the phone when I click to connect it only asks me for the WPA password. I know it's correct, since I'm able to connect to the two wifi networks with my TF300T. If I long press on the SSID nd select "Modify" - it only lets me change the passphrase and no other settings.
I'm on CM7 7.2.0.
Anyone have any ideas?

Having trouble connecting to wireless

Hi,
I've got an Alpine and all the ROMs are simple out-of-the-box as from O2 back in september.
Previously, I would use it to connect to the wireless network in my university. I would turn on the wifi then select the network to connect me to the internet and then enter the wireless key we have been provided with.
However, now it just stays on 'scanning network' and doesn't prompt me to choose a network or enter any key. Sometimes it claims that an IP has been assigned, but it doesn't progress past this. I have tried soft resetting and changing the wifi from 'best battery' to 'best performance'. I have also tried being really near the router.
My friends can access this network just fine on their laptops, and when I run WiFiFoFum it shows up just fine. I am pretty certain the router is a 802.11g one, and I can't tell if it's been changed since I could access it before.
My problem is I know virtually nothing about WiFi, so I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I was hoping someone could give me a bit of help?
Thanks.
try this.
turn wifi on
go to settings
connections
network cards
see if you have networks listed, if u do delete them.
turn off wifi and turn back on again so it searches. see if it picks up the network.
Failing that what IP is it showing u, if its assigned one??

how to use wifi

I bought a HTC tilt but I cant figure out the wifi settings. Its from the states, and its branded AT&T. THe phone itself is unlocked and ive been using it on the fido network for the past week. Everything works fine but i cant figure out how to get the wifi to work. It wont connect to the internet or my wireless network.
bumpppppppppppp
step1: turn wifi on via comm manager
step2: hit settings, wireless lan
step3: choose ur network from the list
step4: follow the settings and fill out the WEP key given by your network
step5: connect!
Same problem for me.
I have done eaxctly as described above but despite showing as connected the phone will not access the internet through wifi.
Same sort of thing here, using both standard t-mobile rom and newest HTC rom, my wireless connects, i get an ip from my router, but i am unaible to browse the web
in settings/wi-fi/network adapters/connects to:the internet
settings/connections/advanced/select networks/both options:my isp
also tried setting both options to "work"
any clues anyone?
click start, settings, connections, wlan, and change the power mode from battery to performance

Can't connect my Dream to my wi-fi @ home.

I've googled, i've searched here and I just can't figure out why i cant find my wireless connection on my phone...it finds both of my neighbours connections but not mine...i'm lost here dudes...any help would be greatly appreciated
i've gone through the network settings on my home pc where my router is plugged into...everything is legit there...my ps3 and other computers find it no problem...had my buddy who got me my g1 to bring his over and see if he could figure it out...tried scanning for it and nothing...fml
does his g1 see your wifi?
na his doesn't find it either
check the b/g/n mode on your router is all i can think of.. if it's on "mixed" or n, then try specifying b or g and see if your g1 picks it up
i'll check that out...my other buddy brought over some LG android and his found it no problem
Change the security encryption of theWiFi,wpa /wpa 2psk.It should work.
I had this problem just today with my new router (Linksys WRT320N) and it wasn't picking it up because I wasn't broadcasting the signal.
Once I enabled the SSID broadcast it connected just fine.
Kind of weird because I never had it broadcasting on my old router (Linksys WRT54GL) and it would connect just fine.

you mean on my phone or on my pc?
still nada
by the way, I know it's elementary but did you try entering the SSID directly in Add New Network?

[Q] Connecting to home wifi network with repeater.

Has anybody had any success with this? I have a wireless N router and just got a wireless N repeater in my home.
My captivate will connect just fine to the network when the repeater is unplugged. However, when I plug in the repeater my phone's wifi connection starts to act funny. I connect to the wifi and have a very strong signal, but I am unable to do anything on the internet. Web pages won't load, Pandora won't connect.
Long story short, the phone sees the network, but it doesn't know whether to communicate with my router or my repeater.
All other wireless devices on my network seem to work fine with the repeater, it's just my Captivate that is having this problem. I have no other phones to test it with, though.
Are you running stock? I seem to recall it having an issue with netmasks that weren't 255.255.255.0. You may want to check netmask in both the router's settings and the phone's Wi-Fi settings to ensure they match.
Is your NAT filtering turned off on both devices ?
Thanks! I'll look into both of these options when I get home tonight.
I'm not running stock, I'm running Cognition v2.3b6, btw.

[Q] my G1 cannot discover the wifi in my house

hi,
my laptop and my galaxy p1000 can discover and connect to the wifi in my house without any problem, but my htc g1 cannot discover the network, it cannot connect to the network as well if i input the ssid by manual. the interesting thing is that my g1 is able to discover the wifi signal from other house, though i am not sure i can connect to them because they are all password protected.
i think there must be something wrong with the wifi settings in my house, but i just do not know where should start to troubleshoot this issue. please give me some ideas/suggestions.
thanks,
david

Go to "Wi-Fi Settings" and then to "Advanced" by pressing "Menu" button.. Then select "Regulatory Domain", select 13 or 14 channels... You will have your wifi
If the above didn't solve your problem check if your router is broadcasting in B/G/N
