My WIFI quit in my house

[SMOKESKULL]

I have a 2.2 Telus Desire. One day my WIFI stopped working. I ended up doing a hard reset only to find I had the same problem. I was sure the WIFI card died. I took it back to the seller and it would connect at his shop. I returned home and it still would not work at my house All my laptops and desktops function normally and I even reset my router. In the end I got it working by shutting down one of my laptops. The Desire was trying to share an IP address with the laptop and it wouldnt transfer any data. THat was a real drag. Its problems like that that make technology suck.

It's not just you. I have an HTC Desire and I run the Wi-fi at work and at home. No problems at home... but at work, I have to reset the wireless router every day in order for the wi-fi to work on my phone. We never had to do this before I started using the wi-fi on my phone at work.

I wonder if the HTC only uses 1 IP address. I am going to look to see if I can find out what it is and perhaps we can reserve that address for the phone so other devices cannot use it!

Both today and yesterday my IP address was 192.168.1.19 (obviously internal to our network). I will keep track of this.

I have a TrendNET TEW-652BRP, but the DHCP is done by a server here.

Check out the video at the bottom of this post as it seems to be a solution: http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-de...ng-ip-address/

Also, if you are doing the same thing, but your DHCP server is done by Windows Server, then check out how to add a Reservation in the IPv4 Scope: http://www.windowsreference.com/wind...by-step-guide/

I'll give it a few days to see if that is the final fix.

192.168.0.198 is my current IP. I have a D-Link DIR-655 router with latest firmware.

Well, that link I posted about fixing a static IP in the DHCP table did not help in my case. Monday morning I still had to reset my wireless router at work.

I logged into my D-Link router yesterday when my Desire lost internet. I still had the same IP and I couldn't see where it was sharing an IP. I turned off one of my laptops and presto the Desire started working again. This is a strange problem.

I lost connection with the wifi again. I started up a laptop and it had no problems connecting to the wifi and using the internet.

I'm still having to do what I always have when the Desire cannot connect to the wifi that it has found... reset the router.

I've had the same issue with a few different Android devices, ranging from a Galaxy S Captivate, to my Nexus One, to a Dell Streak. None of them will connect unless I reset my router, and even then, it's still not worth the hassle. My iPhones have never given me any issues.
