Yes, as a static IP it will ONLY work with your home router.
Quote BTW, will it all need changing if for example I try a public wifi access point?
I realise it's working now and you don't really want to mess it up again but if you go back to the advanced wireless settings there should be an option now to switch back to DHCP. You really want to use DHCP if at all possible as that's the only configuration that will work with other wifi access points.

Thanks again, Robin

Are you sure this is correct, for wireless networks it should be possible to configure network properties for each network SSID; unlike a wired connection where it's either DHCP assigned or a Static IP

Quote from: francoise This is despite several attempts "forget network" and then inserting password again
What Dandroid may not have tried is a long press of the network name on the wifi page?

It worked fine all the while it was on it's 2 year contract, which ran out a few weeks ago. The sim was left in and a new sim activated on a call plan using same phone number with my new S3 that I purchased outright.
After a few weeks of not using the htc (but kept charged) I bought a payg sim for it, same network (t mobile) and that is when i found it would access my home wifi but not the internet anymore. It will access the 3g data connection ok, at a cost!
However, the 2 years the htc was used for, my router was an old belkin, no wifi problems. The new PN technicolor was installed just after i stopped using the htc. And it was the other day when i tried it with the payg sim i found out i could not access internet, but could access the router login.
Looking via google, a couple of results suggest resetting both phone and router? The phone has had a factory reset already, would you recommend a router reset? Any pitfalls as i use 2 wifi and 3 lan connections to it.
Thanks again, Robin

Possibly co-incidence, but the default router IP address for some Asus routers is 192.168.1.220...

I seem to recall a few years back with the early Nintendo devices would not connect to a wireless network which was 802.11 B and G, it would be unable to get a IP address using DHCP, the device only supported 802.11 B, the workaround this was to use a static IP address, maybe this is the same here as most modern routers support B,G and N.

So, is this the problem then? If so, can I change a number somewhere in a setting?
BTW, my downstairs main router is a plusnet technicolor with SSID ending in 041CCC. My upstairs one is a konig router, SSID ends in 041CCB. This is so I can select either one when I get a weak signal.
My postings about that second router are at
http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,118377.0.html
I must admit, with my ignorance on these technical matters I never thought to mention it. Sorry!
Kind regards,
Robin

Quote from: francoise Good thinking indeed! YES, it is the address of a wireless router upstairs on the end of a LAN cable. It gives extended range upstairs as well as feeding my pc up there as well.
So, is this the problem then? If so, can I change a number somewhere in a setting?
BTW, my downstairs main router is a plusnet technicolor with SSID ending in 041CCC. My upstairs one is a konig router, SSID ends in 041CCB. This is so I can select either one when I get a weak signal.
Login to the Konig router and disable its DHCP server and hopefully all will be well! While you're at it, if you change the SSIDs to be the same and (optionally*) change the channel to be the same as well you should be able to roam freely and the device will pick up the strongest signal.
*Some advise having different channels - I found my devices found the first network rather than the strongest in my house so I've got mine set the same - Experiment!
