If you secured your wireless connection filtering the devices only by MAC address, then your new mobile device might not connect to your router. I have faced similar problem when I got my new smartphone. In Windows, getting wireless MAC is simple: type
ipconfig /all
in
cmd
and you get all the MAC addresses. Now, in Android devices, go to
Settings -> About phone -> Hardware information
and you will find in
Wi-Fi MAC address
. Put this address in your router and your device will now able to connect in Internet! I have checked this in HTC Sensation which runs in Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread).
Thanks for sharing this.
