No gateway Reply error 

No Gateway Reply is one of the troublesome network error that most smartphone users face while connecting to home network or any any other Wi-Fi  network. Here i will tell you some basic troubleshooting steps which you should take to fix the " No Gateway Reply" error.

 

What is No Gateway Reply Error ?

 

No Gateway Reply is generic network timeout error which occurs when the gateway Wi-Fi router in most cases fails to respond to mobile device request due to data mismatch( ip address or  WLAN server address in case you are shifting network). The device just fails to communicate with the gateway and after a few seconds later a screen showing No Gateway Reply is presented to you.

Troubleshooting No Gateway Reply Problem:

Mostly it is a one time problem in the start, once the device communicates with access point you will not face the problem. First of all check the Wi-Fi Network you are trying to communicate is a pubic one or secured one with WEP/WPA key.

Normal Scenario:

If its a secured network you would require its WEP or WPA security key( Its an authentication type), only then you can enter its network, if your WLAN is in public mode( which is not recommended) then just do the WLAN scan, it will detect the network and you are ready to go.

The problem "Web: No gateway":

For  some odd reason you are presented with this screen

No gateway Reply error

  1. Check if your access point is working fine and Internet is active
  2. Try connecting multiple times to your network, sometimes it just might be a temporary glitch.
  3. Delete the access point from your device and create a fresh access point- Try accessing Internet now if it works then fine else
  4. Delete all authentication from your Wi-Fi (use step 5 for login), Restart
  5. Create authentication again : Go to 192.168.1.1

User: admin

password: admin or password

these are by default but might change.

————————————————-

General Wi-Fi router security settings for your help:

SSID index: Value 1

SSID         : Type  anything mostly network name

Broadcast SSID : Yes

Authentication type: choose any i use WPA-PSK

Encryption : AES

Pre-shared key: Type your key, this is your Wi-Fi password, anyone having this key can access your internet via Wi-Fi, you will need to enter this key in your mobile device to authenticate yourself- one time only during the very first connection.

if there are any other setting which you don’t understand then just keep them default.

—————————————–

  • Make sure you restart the Wi-Fi router every time you change WEP/WPA key and make a fresh access point in your mobile device after deleting previous access point

Try connecting the device again, if your device still showing "No Gateway Reply" error then manually go to tools, settings, connection, access points, options, edit, options, advanced settings, ipv4 settings( e61i )

change ip address to 192.168.1.x ( choose x so that there is no conflict among the devices) choose x= 7,8,9 to be on the safe side

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

if there is a option of Subnet mask set 255.255.255.0

Automatic detection works  best, try these steps as your last measure.

More things to try:

  • Update your mobile phone firmware
  • Update your Router firmware

No Gateway reply is a common error and can be found in any type of Wi-Fi devices some of the devices are Nokia E51, E61, E61i, E70, E90, N95, N78, N80, N82, N93, Apple iPhone, iPod Touch
