What kind of Error ? 1. It could be your Router is not Up to Date. 2. Check the password you may have entered a Wrong Password. 3.You might have it on a Setting and your Device is not Recognizing it..b33

This is what I found here on Motorola's site for troubleshooting wifi:

Unable to establish connection with the phone

The wireless network may not be in range or has too of a weak signal to provide a successful connection. Check the signal bar to ensure you have strong connection.
Re-enter the key on the phone to match the key configured on the router. Make sure that the encryption type and security settings match on the router and phone.
If WEP encryption is in use, check that the key configured on the router matches the key entered on the phone.
The wireless network you're attempting to connect to may be configured for static IP addresses only. Check with the system administrator for an IP address assignment.
Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.

Can't connect to Internet

Try a different URL or web site address.
Disconnect and try connecting to the network again.
Enter correct Password (WEP-WAP/WPA key).
If connected via a commercial Wi-Fi hotspot, such as the ones at Borders or Starbucks, we recommend renewing the hotspot's DHCP lease.
Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.

Ruckus WiFi router issueIssue: Device does not connect to Ruckus WiFi router (example model#: 2825)

Description: In DHD11 TA3 we have an IP address conflict between the LTE IP address and the default gateway address with the Ruckus router.

Work around: Change the default gateway address on the router as follows:
Login Router through Browser: http://192.168.20.1
User name: user
Password: password
(user name and pass written on AP)
goto "Local network" under Configuration section on the Left side.
change the field in : "Local IP Address" from 192.168.20.1 to
192.168.0.1
Change :"Starting Address" from 192.168.20.2 to 192.168.0.2
click update settings.Note: We become aware of an issue with a certain Wi-Fi router Router: Netgear N600 WNDR3400, that may experience loss of Internet Connectivity on Wi-Fi signal with the DROID RAZR.Here's our solution for this issue:

Go to the wireless settings for the Netgear router from a browser on your PC by going to 192.168.1.1
On the Router Manager screen, go to the Setup section in the left hand column and select Wireless Settings
Under the Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n) section change the channel from Auto to a static channel of your choosing. (Any number from 01 -11)

Thank you for replying. I have the screen up that lets you turn on or

disable the WiFi and when i touch the button to have a green check mark

appear it says turning on and then it goes straight to error. Any other

item that deals with WiFi is greyed out.

Have you tried this at a public place, like Starbucks? I'm wondering if it is a configuration problem or possibly related to an older router. I've seen problems with router that are only a couple of years old. What type of router do you have and how old is it?

First I'd make sure your router has the latest firmware update, then reset it (unplug a minute, then plug back in).

Next, go to Menu>Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Wifi Settings long press on the network and select Forget Network. Reboot and try finding and connecting again.

Still no joy, I've also read of people having this problem who solved it by doing various things such as changing their SSID to one word, all lower case; setting their router channel to 'auto';

If you can't connect to a public network, there may be something wrong with the phone. Otherwise it's just a matter of figuring out if it's your router or something in your configuration.
