problem with phone android 10 connecting as wifi repeater
i installed openwrt on tl-mr3420 router. i know it's old but it does it job. i happily used the connect to client wi-fi network to use the phone internet connection with wifi to the router to provide lan connection to clients with old phones. unfortunately it doesn't work with all the android 10 pho…
it seems the culcript was the way i named the hotspot on the phone. i solved it by first changing to single name ssid and it worked. i than added spaces in between words and it worked too. i've been unable to reproduce the error and i probably had a character mismatch in the name with several spaces…
in order to make republic’s wifi first system work, you need republic’s app. this system is how republic keeps costs down but requires an approved smart phone to work. i doubt your flip phone can make calls over wifi anyway (i’ve never seen one that can) so quite simply your phone is not compatibl… Your card is ok. There is interference between the router and your computer.  

  

1. The router or the PC may be "hidden" behind a metal cabinet, refrigerator, etc.  

2. Move router higher  

3. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones (not cellphones) that use 2.4GHz will interfere with the 2.4GHz WiFi signal.  

4. Point the router antennas in-line with the direction of the PC.  

5. Move the router closer to the PC. Please refer to the following FAQ regarding your phone's unlocking :

Regards i've been having intermittent access problems also.  i changed the dns servers my wifi router is using to google's - 8.8.8.8   it seems to have resolved my issues. howdy @moufflon

does your phone allow you to define which sim your phone would use by default for data?

they might be an issue with a dual-sim phone, or a setting there within.

could you try removing the o2 sim, deleting the o2 apn settings and trying if the sim is working for data then?


kevin Hi Allardjm, if you use your own router, you could use it with our Helix gateway but, with the bridge mode activated in our gateway. Your WiFi connection will work but let's say you decide to also take our Helix TV service, the remote voice commands won't work with bridge mode. Hope this answers your question. I have this problem too. I've tried many way too fix it but my phone still have this problem. Yes, Lumia can be used as a WiFi Hotspot for up to 5 WiFi-enabled devices. i assume your new router is wireless?

limited access with wireless usually means you don't have a valid ip address assigned. you need two things for a working internet connection. 1. you need a physical connection, known as layer 1 and layer 2. 2. you need a logical connection known as layer 3.

if you've got the limited access message that means your laptop has a working wireless connection at layers 1 and 2. what you don't have is the layer 3 connection i.e. an ip address.

there could be a number of reasons why this is happening. i would suggest that you start by powering your pc down - shut it off completely not just hibernate it or just shut the lid. next power down the router, pull the power cord out of it. let the router sit unplugged for about 2 minutes. power the router back up......wait about 2 min more. power your pc back up.

learn how to use the command line command "ipconfig". you access the command line via the accessories folder on windows. when you get the c:/> prompt - enter the command "ipconfig" hit enter. in the group of stuff on the screen you want to see an ip addess assigned to the wireless interface. when you get the limited access message the first thing you want to do is check to see if you have an ip address assigned.

if the above trick doesn't work, then i suspect there is something wrong with your network configuration on your pc. if you take your laptop to a starbucks does it work there? well, then, you might as well put extra jacks out there anyway. in either case, it should work fine as long as ap is on the same subnet (ip address range.)
