Okay so I am new to the Android platform (as of this week). But for the life of me could NOT figure out why my wifi connection to my home network wouldn’t work.
I checked all the usual things. Signal strength, another network (thanks Jason whoever you are, for having an open unsecured network I could connect too), etc.
My friend Matt suggested this Android Application:
Which is pretty handy for finding those other networks, channels, etc.
What I discovered however, was that I was 1 character off in my password. That’s why it would authenticate, connect, and then drop!
So having a password like: K00lJerkBe1b3r is different from:
K00lJerkBe1B3r
(It’s a song I don’t like, plus an artist I don’t like – make great passwords — please don’t use this one, even if you don’t like Justim Beiber too!
But anyway, that turned out to be my issue.
After getting the password fixed, I was then able to complete a 3.5 minute Skype call to my bud Tony in Pahonics
Thanks Matt, Tony, and Loni!
Wayno
