Hey all,
recently i've been having some issues with the wifi on my kindle fire. when i put it to sleep and put it back on, the wifi will show as connected but nothing will load until i switch wifi off and back on again. i have wifi sleep policy set as "never switch off"
also sometimes the wifi will randomly disconnect from the router, although i'm well within range. when this happens, i can't reconnect unless i switch the wifi off and back on again. i'm using cm7 hellfire, any suggestions?

Which rom?
When I am at home (netgear WNR3500v2 with DD-WRT) I have no issues.
When I goto work (AeroHive Enterprise access points) I run into the exact issues you describe.
I ran into this with the stock rom and all roms I install. ICS with Kernel 3.0 has this issue, but it is less common. With everything but a 3.0 kernel, I can use the wireless for seconds before it dies.
Googling the issue I found that it is pretty common for any android system when connecting to a corporate wireless access point.

I'm experiencing same problems with stock and CM7 Barebones 9-2-2012.
Searched a lot, and beside nonsense advices for routers resetting (how can I reset the router at public hot-spot?) given to the users of PORTABLE device that Amazon customer service is pushing trying to hide their own problems, I found only two explanations that are reasonable and reported to improve things:
1. One reported that deleting/forgeting all remembered networks in Kindle's WiFi settings and creating new connection that is used later on makes problem-free connection. Please do not blame me during entering SSID and passwords all the time. Blame Amazon. As far as I remember, when I unpacked my Kindle I had WiFi connection without problem at my home. Problems started when I connected it first time in my office. Intermittent disconnects continued at my home also. Searches show that a lot of people had problem-free period of using Kindle's WiFi. Makes sense, but I will do deleting/forgeting only under gun pinpoint. Or when I decide not to move my Kindle around.
2. Other reported that making Access point to use g-only bandwidth instead of mixed mode improves things. You can do it at your home, maybe in your office and sure not at public hot-spots. I did it at one place, I will do it in another, looks promising on first try. Do not blame me if you have now trouble free Kindle WiFi only at your home, maybe at your office and frustrating internet access in public areas. Blame Amazon.
3. My way. Installed WiFi Fixer and saved frustration to slide up, WiFi off, WiFi on procedure, back. Doing that automatically. Magic. Anyhow, there are moments when it is doing his job, so You get no connection reports from browsers or other apps that need internet connection. You already know about blaming....
Waiting for daily use kernel 3.0 and ICS, I believe that developers here will not let us down. Long live XDA-developers community!
anyone else having similar issues?

Really odd problem here - as of a couple days ago, everything was working perfectly with my galaxy nexus. I decided to jump over to CM10 (was on codename android, IIRC), right after I think there were some new commits to AOSP.
From here on out, my phone would never enter deep sleep when connected to wifi. Any wifi hotspot - the ones I've been using, a hotspot I created from my desktop - the icon would show the phone constant receiving data via wifi. Using better battery stats, over about 5 hours on my desk, 4.5hrs were spent with a WLAN_RX_WAKE kernel wakelock with my phone sitting at 350MHz instead of deep sleep for that time.
I tried a bunch of different kernels (stock CM10, franco, imoseyon, etc) both new and old versions, but the problem was still there. I tried clean flashing a rom, and only installing better battery stats. Same thing with all kernels.
Factory restored google stock images to BOTH ICS and JB. I still have the problem. Tried disabling google location services. No dice. Tried a couple basebands, but I'm pretty sure that only affects cell/data performance, right?
I honestly have no idea what is going on. I've been on this hotspot (campus wifi) for months now without a problem, and now this. Some threads say that this is caused by DHCP requests from the router, but why would I have not seen this until now? My idle drain was at about 1-2% per hour before this, now it is close to 10-15%.

This is literally the EXACT SAME problem I'm having...I wish someone could properly explain why this is happening and how to fix it.

Not sure if you've tried this and it helps but maybe you can try Network Log or Shark from the store to diagnose this?
Network Log doesn't show up with anything, so the wakelock shouldn't be caused by a rogue app.
Shark, on the other hand, after about 10 seconds of logging, netted me about 300 DHCPv6 'solicit XID' requests. There a bunch of different sources from these requests, they just seem to be other devices on the network pinging my phone to see if it's a DHCPv6 server...?
I've seen some suggestions on other forums to mess around with the router settings, which I can't do because it's campus internet.
Since you've tinkered with rom/kernels etc on phone without any seeming change, it's feasible that there's been some change recently on the other side of the equation namely the network settings of your campus wifi? Maybe your University's tech department has implemented something new etc? Have you tried asking others with wifi enabled phones if they are experiencing this as well?
Found this here (pretty sure you've come across this if you've been googling abt this issue but posting anyways)
"Another more elaborate solution if you rely on that network a lot, is to purchase a wireless bridge or gaming adapter and connect it to your apartment wifi and then connect your own wifi router to that. Then the gaming adapter would get the dhcp IP from your apartment (so who cares if it is renewing it constantly) and your router would treat the connection just as if you were connected directly to an internet connection. Then configure your router for static IP addresses or if your router does not cause issues with DHCP then you don't need static IPs."
from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16134-kernel-wakelock-wlan-rx-wake/
I know I had an issue with some wlan rx wakelock thing last year but I cannot for the life of me remember how I got rid of it or what changed
Hmm, seems like an okay solution but my friend's devices don't seem to show the same symptom, and since I roam campus alot, a wifi extender wouldn't be ideal.
Bump. Any other ideas?

I am seriously ripping my hair out from this goddamn wakelock ****.
I wake up at 9am and have to charge my phone by 4pm because it's at 16% with 40 minutes of screen on time. Seriously? This is a JOKE.
I've checked with BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy. Both confirm the phone keeps sitting at 350MHz when it's supposed to be sleeping, as well as wlan_rx_wake keeping the phone awake.
I've set my phone to receive a static IP from my router (DIR-655) but it doesn't help. I really don't know WHAT to do. I've downloaded shark to my phone, sniffed packets, but haven't been able to get anything useful out of it since there is a LOT to sift through (unless you know what you're looking for - which I don't).
This is by far the worst bug/issue I have ever encountered with my phone and it is seriously getting on my nerves. I will be forever greatful to anyone who can help me pinpoint the issue and make it stop.
Also, i REFUSE to "go buy a new router" as it's bull****. This is a bug people experience only sometimes it seems and NO ONE has a fix for it. I read somewhere about a fix being implemented in some kernels but they were for other phones, never found anything like it for the GNex. If anyone knows anything about a fix like that, please show me the way.
I already checked for rogue apps, there were none keeping wifi awake. I've even tried with a totally stock, newly flashed phone with stock kernel and everything. NO extra apps installed except shark, CPU spy and betterbatterystats sideloaded. I didn't even input my GMail to stop the syncing. It STILL KEPT MY GODDAMN PHONE AWAKE.
I am SERIOUSLY desperate. Considering just selling my phone and opting for something else if this continues, it totally cripples everything.
/rant over
turn on WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS, for about 30seconds, then turn them off. put your phone to sleep, then check if you're going into deep sleep. CPU spy is a good app to check if your hitting deep sleep.
Change wireless network encryption? Wpa2, tkip+aes, aes only, tkip only? Wpa?
Change wifi channel?
Edit: scratch that. Try disabling 5ghz band.

I had a similar issue, it turned out it was Dropbox LANSync in my home LAN. I used an experimental forum build on my PC, so it could be this, but in the end I turned LANSync off, since Android doesn't make use of it anyway.
So try this if you have Dropbox running on your network clients.

5GHz band? Where do I disable this, the phone or the router? My router chooses channel automatically and is set to Auto 20MHz/40MHz channel width.

A quick update, I just tried all the suggestions in the quotes in my previous post but to no avail, still getting the wake locks. I'm seriously going crazy.
Turning wifi off did let the phone sleep, but that was expected as the wake lock is related to wifi. Nothing else has worked. NOTHING.

This issue appeared again for me, it obviously also helps to disable the NETBIOS on your Windows PC network adapter. There are guides for that online. Also get the "Network Log" app in the Play Store, it shows the traffic so you can see which one's are for the kernel (wlan_rx_wake is a kernel wakelock).
Also uPNP feature in router can cause all kind of weird behavior. Better block it from router's firewall.
Sent from my slimbeaned GNex
What baffles me the most is that all of this shouldn't be needed. I shouldn't have to disable netbios and do things to OTHER devices just so my phone sleeps. This is a jellybean issue imo, I never had these problems on ICS.
The experiments continue, updates incoming.

I also suspect the major issue was that my wifi channel was the same as the ones around me. When I changed it, the wlan wakelocks went down significantly.

5 Ghz band is disabled when you enter Wi - Fi - advanced - Wi - Fi frequency band ... It's set to auto by default, you try either 2.4 or 5 ghz on manual and check if that helps ( incase you didnt already )
Does anyone have any news about this issue? I have the same problem and I can't find the solution. I made several test without any good results.

I've seen a few similar threads to the one I'm about to make. I've tried different suggestions which I will post here. Yet, none of them seems to work and I'm curious to see if anyone of you has a fix for my problem. My phone is an unbranded international HOX using the 9.7.2 ARHD rom by Mike1986. Here we go:
Problem
While being on WIFI my push notifications aren't coming through in time. There's a delay from anywhere between a few minutes up to as much as 40+ minutes. The phone doesn't have this issue being on the mobile data network. I'm also not 100% sure if the delay is still there when I'm on an different router. Even when I turn on the screen again, the messages seem to come in randomly.
Settings
WIFI best performance enabled
Static IP by router
WIFI sleep policy: Wifi always on
Tried suggestions
Wakelock: One thread described using an app called REGPON keep-alive, which installs a wakelock onto the phone to keep the data connection alive. This app did not do the trick. It only drained my battery and the messages still didn't come through.
Wifi performance: Set the phone to maximum wifi performance. This seemed to work for a while but ended up not working proper either
Kernel: Try a different kernel was one suggestion. I've switched from Stock to Faux123 010 kernel. This didn't change anything about the WIFI problem.
Static IP + Portforwarding + Disabling router Firewall: I've tried both port forwarding on port 5228 and even the range 5224-5228. I've also tried setting up triggered ranges. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on this part though. The router firewall is disabled and it should no longer block anonymous WAN packages.
Disable SmartSync: With the Suite Tools that are included in Mike1986's rom I've disabled Smartsync. No results as far as the wifi problem goes.
Probing app: I've tried an app that supposedly probes my router at least every minute in order to keep the connection alive.
Switching between b/g/n network: Didn't make a difference. The signal quality of the router is also good.
The only thing that did work for extended periods of time was using this remote control app that allows me to type through my PC keyboard, where the text ended up on the phone. I've also got an app installed to test push notifications. It's capable of making a log. Maybe that'll give you guys more information.
Right now I'm not sure if it's an issue with the HOX or if my router somehow stops the traffic. I don't recall having this problem on my HTC Desire. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks,
Zendio
No problem with Gmail push notification on Stock 2.17.401.2.
Yesterday I still was on ARHD 9.7.2, also there I never noticed any delay.
Edit: this complies to various wifi networks (@home, @office, @parents etc.)

In general use WIFI feels really fluid and responsive. I really have no idea what could cause these problems.

I hope so. My One S is experiencing the same thing. I've tried everything above. No luck. Some stuff is fairly critical that I get it as soon as it comes in. I might try getting ahold of a Nexus 4 and do some testing with its wifi, just to make sure it isn't a general Android problem.
What router do you have? My issue was any android device in the house. Turned out it was my router, I put a custom firmware on it and all my trouble have gone away. My friend has the WiFi issue on a virgin media superhub.

I have an Asus RT-N66U. Funny you should suggest that. I'd planned to throw Tomato on it tonight and see how that works out. I did some tests at my folks' and their router had the same results. It's some cheap Netgear thing. Not sure of the model at the mo. I'll post back with results. If not tonight, tomorrow some time.
No go
Well that was unsuccessful. Actually it slowed things down. With the default firmware I get notifications from the instant I press power to wake up my phone. With Tomato there was a second or so before I got them.
Time to try DD-WRT tonight to see if that does the same thing.
I have an rt-n56u so the older version of yours and I'm running the Asus wrt that is being made, its fixed all my problems and is awesome tbh.

Recently I've been having problems with Wi-Fi. My phone and nexus 7. They both stay on blue bars all the time claiming they're connected to Google servers. And it'll work good for about 20 seconds and then I'll have no connection for about a minute. Bars will stay blue like its connected and WiFi show that it's fill signal but pages won't load, apps will timeout and YouTube videos won't stream. Makes it impossible to download any Roms or apps at times. This just recently started happening. Videos will stream good for maybe 2 minutes tops. Then pause, after a minute Wi-Fi will stay streaming and going again by itself and stream. I haven't changed my router or is settings. I have static ip's assigned too. All other computers work just fine for internet. Never a problem.
I've tried changing kernels, Roms, complete wipes and reinstalls. Rebooted the router. Nothing fixes it. I'm getting really frustrated. I'm at the point where I'm going trio go buy a new router just cause I want to use 5ghz. Anyways, any suggestions to solve this?

Weird how it affects just my device in an entire thread with a ton of people using the rom and same kernel.
I went and picked up a new router. I'll see if that fixes it. Thanks for the input though. I appreciate it.
Didn't help with new router. My WiFi still cutting out like crazy on Franco kernel. Almost as soon as I turn off screen. But its not turning WiFi off. Just goes into some sort of state where nothing comes through. When screen on everything is fine though now.
In Wifi settings, you could try unchecking "Avoid Poor Connections" and see if that helps.
Also do you have any other devices at home on the same wifi network - do they experience the same issues, I know where I am if we get a lot of rain, it causes intermittent internet slowdowns, I had similar issues and after testing other devices found this to be my problem not my Wifi.
Also, have you got any cordless phones in the house that might run on the same frequency?
I still have an issue keeping wifi at 100% d/l when the phone is asleep, even though the setting is for always on. It must be a hardware thing for me because every rom I've tried from ICS to the latest JB exhibit the same issue. If I am in a desperate need to d/l a large file on my phone, I just temporarily change the screen display off timer to 10 minutes of so so the wifi will stay at max d/l speed.

Ya avoid poor connections is unchecked. And wifi optimization is unchecked. I've tried putting my router on full auto, tried setting static ip addresses for everything. Changing from wireless n to wireless g. Changing security to off as well. Using the 5ghz band instead of 2.4. The nexus 7 is working perfectly fine with the new router. But my galaxy nexus is totally unreliable. Weird is that it just started happening within past couple weeks. And actually, it was good for the first day or so after new router. I can confirm all other wifi devices jn the house work just fine without any hiccups. I've never had a problem with other devices. No dropouts or anything. It's really puzzling me!
One thing I found weird, if I disable wmm on my router, my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus will not connect. Anyone else get this?

Ya my router auto updates itself. Its a Cisco EA6500 in case your wondering and is helpful.
I use my wifi at work and it's very unreliable. At times going into an endless disconnect/reconnect loop. Sometimes restarting the wifi helps or putting it in and out of airplane mode. Other times nothing helps except a reboot of my phone. Some apps may make the issue worse. I don't think there is a fix and waiting for google to fix the flaw a user pointed out earlier.

Possibly a 4.2 issue. But its not affecting everyone it seems. But i see that there is a huge thread about this at the google site. Not an isolated case
When you say you set a static ip, you set one from the router, have you tried setting a static ip on the phones wifi advanced options as well?

I set static on both router and the phone. I've tried all the north american radios. None of the euro ones. no effect. Sticking to the latest North American radio for now. I've managed to make it work sorta with CM10.1 with stock kernel on completely fresh install. It works, but the down arrow on the Wi-Fi icon stays lit almost 100% of the time. no idea why, only other device that was on all yesterday was the nexus 7, and that was on the 2.4ghz and phone the 5ghz. Huge wlan_rx_wake!

When i first updated to 4.2, I was getting crazy dropouts. After unchecking the Wi-fi optimization, it was more consistent but still drops out frequently while at work. There is a known bug with the wifi driver that hasn't been addressed for years, but still trying to find the original articles describing the problems.
It seems you are having tons of issues, worse than most.
If you are having a problems suggested on this site, maybe this can help.

It affects me as well. Completely random. Everything appears fine except that instead of blue, the icons are grey. Turning off wifi and turning it back on fixes it.
In the link above, there is a comment where you can submit more info for Google to help solving the problem:

There is a known bug with the wifi driver that hasn't been addressed for years, but still trying to find the original articles describing the problems.
It seems you are having tons of issues, worse than most.
If you are having a problems suggested on this site, maybe this can help.

the weird thing is, it just started happening about 2 weeks ago. It was perfectly fine up until then. Never had an issue with Wi-Fi. If this don't work i might try doing an entire wipe right back to stock and locking bootloader.
Hey guys! I have been having some issues with my m9... Ever since I updated to Cm13 I've been having a WiFi issue, where as my wifi disconnects at least once per minute. It gets worse sometimes then can calm down again. This makes it impossible to watch movies or anything else... I was hoping you guys had any idea how to fix it. Thought it was the firmware, so updated it and did not help... thanks in advance
Anyone?
Sounds like an ip conflict. Set a static ip. (note the network settings as is now, write them down, copy them as is except add 1 to the last number in "IP Address"). See if it still kicks you off.
