HTC Incredible Droid - WiFi Issues at home

I cannot connect to my WiFi at home and was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem. I have read some posts where folks have changed their home network password and that worked. Also, something about a static IP, I am not too familiar with doing that but I am a fairly quick learner. Any help is appreciated!  I would love to use the WiFi at home as opposed to the 3G for web-surfing.

 

Thanks

Have you gone into Wireless settings from Menu>Settings>Wi-Fi settings. Make sure you have WiFi checkmarked, then look at the networks available. Click on yours and follow the prompts.

Yes, every time I try to connect it fails. I am using the correct WEP Key to login. Is there something wrong with HTC Droid Incredible and hooking up to a secure WiFi?

Have you tried setting up your router with a WPA security key and try connecting to that?

Get in your router 192.168.1.1 Name and password is default usually: "admin" no quotes. In the router settings try to find the WPA SHARED KEY. Use that instead of the key given under the router.

Also, check to see if your router has been set up to only allow access from a specified list of MAC addresses.  That is the way that my router is set up.  If so, you'll need to add the MAC address from your phone to this list.  You can find the MAC address for your phone under Settings -> About Phone -> Hardware Information.

I'm having similar issues.  I have a WPA pre-shared key g/n access point with no MAC address restrictions. I can see it, configure it with my pre-shared key and it fails to connect because it claims the key is invalid.  I've typed it in several times with no success.  The key does have a lot of non-alphanumeric characters in it to make it secure.

 

I have two laptops, an iPad, a Motorola Droid, and an iPod Touch all can connect to my home WIFI fine.

I have the Droid Incredible.  I'm able to get on wifi at home, but when I try return to mobile the mobile network option is grayed out.  It shows "truning on" and has a green check.

 

This happened yesterday and I calle Verizon.  After looking this up on her computer she had me remove the battery.  This worked, but it does not make sence that when I go between wifi and mobile I will have to remove the battery each time.

Any ideas?

Make sure your Wi-Fi network at home is not the N. The Incredible will only support N connection with the 2.2 upgrade. I've had the same issue when I first tried to connect my phone to my wireless network and it was the last thing on my mind to switch my router from N mode to mixed.
