Lumia 720 unable to connect to wifi

[muhammed yazeen]

Hey every one... i am a newbie to the windows platform i bought a lumia 720 couple of days back. I tried to connect my phone to my wifi modem but gets an error ("CONNECTION UNSUCCESSFUL " unable to connect to net work). I use the same modem to connect my laptop and PS3 wirelessly.
I tried with secure and open connections from modem but was of no use ........
Then tried making a wifi hotspot using connectify and it worked fine !
guys any help will be appreciated . here is the screen shot of my modem's wifi setting

Try switch your security options on the modem? Also try by deleting the SSID from your Wifi settings on the phone, then reboot your phone, and let it find it again and reconnect.

My nokia lumia 720 also has the exact problem..When i try to connect to my wifi, it shows connection unsuccessful , unable to connect to network.But i use the same wifi for my laptop and works well.My wifi is not secured, it doesnt have a password.Is it because of that it is not connecting?

Although I do not have a Lumia 720, I did troubleshoot an incompatibility between my Samsung Focus and a router/modem gateway I had set up. All other devices (laptops, tablets, mobile phones, etc) were able to connect without a problem. The Focus could see a full-strength signal and the SSID from the router, but it was unable to connect successfully. Once I switched out the router with another from a different manufacturer, the Samsung was able to connect. I am unsure exactly where the incompatibility lay, but I'm afraid it is possible that some wireless devices do not cooperate with each other. If you are using a gateway device (modem with router) try using the device in "bridge" mode and add a different router in front of the modem.

Cheers.

When i contacted nokia they said ip based connections are not possible. By the by i managed to resolve the issue by resetting my modem and entering the credentials again.

Hi. I was able to connect Lumia 720 to the wifi hotspot on my laptop. But I wasn't able to access the internet!!!
I used softwares---> VIRTUALPRIVATE Manager, www.virtualaccesspoint.org, connectify.

Hey, I just got this problem and was really confused. But I found out that my static ip setting is on, just turn it off and it will be okay.

It's in the wifi settings, if you don't see it, update all your system apps. But I'm not sure you're experiencing the same problem with me.

Hi Folks,

Saw some thread that many of us unable to connect to wifi after 8.1 upgrade.
I myself using 720 and gotcha the same problem from yesterday..
SAw some creepy stuff and suggestion that didnt work out for me..
So basically i trief to find the way out.

So when I read some network theory about the Wifi network i found that the the transport way 8.1 is using is different than 8.0 .
So once you have upgraded to Lumia Denim you need to delete the previous connection I mean which is already configured in your wifi .
Just reset your modem once and reconfigure the connection and try.

It will work our as it works for me..

Hope it will help you all as it did for me..

Happy DAy.
