Thread: Hathway Bangalore - Anyone with Android setup

Hello folks,
This is my first post at the forum and I am a noob when it comes to Networks.
I have a hathway DHCP connection which I have in turn connected to my Belkin Router. All the 3 laptops at my place are able to pickup the wifi connection and connect to the internet.
I have had no luck connecting either of my Android phones to the internet. When I connect to the router, the router light turns amber. The phone on the other hand goes from scanning a connection to authenticating and then abruptly disconnects. Then it goes in an endless loop to connect to the router.

I suspect the DHCP offered by Hathway might be an issue since these phones work perfectly fine with a PPPoE offered by You Broadband and the wifi connection through a BSNL ADSL wifi modem.

I have googled and found that there is a bug in Android related to DHCP connections. The solution suggested is a static ip assignment to the device. But I have had no luck so far.

Has anyone tried this combination of Hathway DHCP with an Android phone or tablet....any help would be much appreciated

What is the range of DHCP allotted by router ?
say 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.254
Allot address 192.168.1.4 to android phone.
