A few posts ago, there was post mentioning the process of converting the laptop to a WIFI hotspot.
Well, all the efforts and then the android phone refuses to connect.
As though possessing a will of its own.
It connects once in a blue moon and shows who the boss is .
After spend quite some time in frustration and surfing online
The problem I faced was as follows
Phone connects to wifi
But does not get a valid IP address
then it disconnects
Scans after some time and repeats the procedure again and again and again.
I got a few workarounds
I will mention them so that others wont have the feeling of throwing their phone out of the window
and onto a busy street where the probability of the phone being crushed is certain.
A simple method is to install WIFI FIXER app
It resets the phone's wifi and enables you to connect.
It also monitors the phone's wifi status which is a neat feature.
Another method is to use a static ip
The process is as follows
Before switching on the wifi
Go in wifi settings
click on advanced
check the use static ip address box
enter the following settings
ip address:- 192.168.1.253
gateway:-192.168.1.1
mask:- 255.255.255.0
dns:-4.4.8.8
Once this is completed enable your wifi
The phone should immediately connect to the wifi network
wait for some time just to make sure it stays connected.
Once you are assured that your phone is connected to wifi.
Again go in wifi settings
advanced tab
and uncheck the use static ip address box
At this time you should the ip address in use in the box above the static ip address box
Once you un check your use static ip address box
Your phone will still remain connected and you will be able to browse on your phone
cheerrsss
wishing everyone a merry christmas
