    cant figure this problem out... My samsung s wifi works on most networks, both open and password protected. And the catch is it won't work on my home network in the house but yet the singal strength is great and works fine with my laptop in the house....

    Any ideas??

    Maybe obvious but have you tried forgetting the network and reconnecting ? So far I've had no issue connecting to any network with mine.

    You haven't MAC locked the wifi network and forgotten that you've done so?

    It's media access control filtering - basically every device you own has a unique MAC address. Through your wifi router, you can tell your wifi network to "only allow these devices to connect", and give it the address of the items you want to allow.
