So i finally got this bad boy home after work and i am having trouble connecting to my home wifi connection. I am using a Netgear wireless-N router. When i try to connect on the phone it gets caught up on "obtaining ip address" for a while and then quits. When i go back to my wifi on the phone it says "remembered, secured with wpa/wpa2 psk".

Just checked it again now and its saying connection unsuccesful please try again.

I had this same problem on my nexus one and just assumed that the n1 was not N compatible.

Hopefully someone can help, thanks!

all the galaxy phones have b+g+n compatibility built in.

Sorry I have to ask, did you follow these steps?



Access the Wi-Fi settings menu by navigating to the Wireless & networks menu

Select Wi-Fi settings
Choose a listed network, or add a hidden network by selecting Add Wi-Fi network

If you choose one of the listed networks and it's secured, enter the password, press Connect and you'll be connected to that network

If you wish to access a hidden network, select Add Wi-Fi network and enter the SSID

If a password is required, you'll be prompted to enter this before connecting
 
@pablo.station - wpa/wpa2 and no it is not hidden.

@Gamerig - yeah man i have no idea why its not working on my phone.
 
Ok so i logged into my router and turned off the security and it connected. So im thinking it may have something to do with the wpa/wpa2 security? Im gonna try switching it to wep and see if that does anything.
 
I am having exactly the same problem. Called tech support and they couldn't help either. I'm going to try going to a hotspot today and seeing if it is only a problem with netgear. Hopefully someone can help. Good luck.
 
@Smcdowellm - did you call netgear tech support or tmo? I was gonna try netgear tonight but if you already have then i wont bother.
 
Just had same problem and tried solutions listed with no success. Finally switched of router to refresh. Turned on and immediately connected.
 
Go into router and turn " a b g n " on. The Netgear wireless-N router has only "n".
The Vibrant only has "g" Or tell the router to upgrade. Usually the first option.
