First of all, I have internet from Time Warner Cable and it came with a router/modem all in one. Now that was initially set up and that works 100% perfectly with my SGS2. Since I have a weak WiFi signal upstairs in a couple of rooms, I decided to hook up an extra router that is set up as an access point. The second router is connected via a cat5e lan to lan to my main router (home is wired with cat5e connections).
Now on the second router, I have disabled DHCP since the main router is responsible for that. On the second router, I set up a different SSID first to test it out. All wired and wireless connections worked great through my laptop/Xbox 360, PS3. My SGS2 connected fine as well and worked.
Now the issue is that the SGS2 "drops" the WiFi after some time. Sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, etc. Even with the SGS2 right next to the router it happens. Meanwhile, my laptop stays connected the whole time.
I can't seem to figure out what the issue is now. I've reset the second router a couple times and set it up all over fresh but it doesn't fix the problem. Seems to be a problem with my brother's Sensation as well. Is there something with Android and access points or going through a second router that causes issues? Any other settings I'm overlooking? SGS2 connected to the main router stays connected until I turn WiFi off. But to the access point, it drops out after some time.
FYI: Second router (access point) is running DD-WRT firmware.
If you need any other info, just ask. I'll be home from work in a couple hours. I've been messing with this for the last 2 weeks but nothing seems to work. Please help! Thanks.
Hmm thats very odd. Im running a similar setup as you, except my main and 2nd router connect via 5ghtz N.
Have you tried statically your phone with an IP address then modifying your main router (that gives DHCP) to reflect that IP is permanently assigned?
edit: to hard set your phone...settings-->wireless and network-->wifi settings, then menu key and advanced. Just fill in the IP and gateway info, and obviously use something in your DHCP subnet. You'll have to look at your DHCP subnet, but you'll probably use 255.255.255.224 as your mask, and use your gateway (your main router IP) as your DNS.

Try giving your phone a static IP from your main router. Also make sure that you adjust your phones wifi settings under advanced settings so that your phone stays connected to wifi during sleep. Hope that helps.

Well my phone is getting the same IP address each time, whether I connect to the main router's SSID or the second router's SSID. But I will try this static IP. One problem is that I don't know how to find out my DHCP range. There's nothing in the main router's settings about the range. The second router has an option to set the IP address range for DHCP but the main router doesn't. See attached image.
I'll try to set the static IP around what the IP addresses of other devices on the network are since I don't know the exact range. Let me know if I'm doing this wrong. Not sure what you meant by 255.255.255.224 there.
The static IP didn't make a difference. Still keeps disconnecting/dropping after some time. Meanwhile, the connection with the main router stays connected. Don't know what else I can do. Seems that my HP Touchpad running CM9 stays connected to the second router without dropping. Don't know what's different about that from my phone.

Does anybody have some instructions on how to set up the second router as an access point? I'm pretty sure I set it up correctly but apparently there seem to be some issues. People who have a similar setup that can help would be great.
Main router from cable company with built in modem where internet connectivity comes from is downstairs. Connect cat5e from LAN of main router to LAN of second router upstairs. Second router set up as access point for better WiFi coverage upstairs.
2 options for second router: DD-WRT D-Link DIR-615 or D-Link DIR-625.
"Could" buy some other recommended router for this and try that if needed, but would definitely prefer to use what I have and get this to work.
This might be completely off but I had a similar issue with my SII when connecting to 802.1x networks at my University. I downloaded this app called wifi fixer and it resolved the wifi connection drop for about 90% of the time. Give it a shot, it might do wonders for ya.

First you need to find out if your router is supported. According to the DD-WRT database, the 615 is, the 625 is not. But there are several revisions of that router, so you need to find out what revision you have. It should be on your label.
Router database
Then you need to decide whether you want a repeater, an access point, or client bridged. You can read the differences in the DD-WRT wiki found HERE
Then you need to find the best build to flash to your router. I suggest reading the overview of the 615 found HERE. Read the ENTIRE thread. If you flash the wrong version to your router, you WILL brick it.
Then flash the appropriate firmware, set it up, and youre done. Youre going to have to do some reading.
edit: I would also suggest downloading wifi analyzer on your phone and do a site survey of available channels in your house. Most likely you WILL have interference from neighbors. Youre going to want to hard set your channel to the least congested channel, either 1, 6, or 11. Once you get DD-WRT set up on your 615 you can do a site survey within the router as well.
change the channel on your router to 6 not 11 i had that issue with our second router and actually my nook color. Depending on the router it should be under wireless settings.

The only reason to use one over the other is congestion. Thats it. And you want to use 1, 6, or 11 because the DIR615 has N capability, and you need a wifi primary channel to use N. Theres only 3 primary channels...1, 6, and 11.
edit: Heres a technical overview of N: CLICK ME!

I have actually done all that. The DIR-615 is an E1 version and I flashed the correct DD-WRT firmware on it. I followed a tutorial from the DD-WRT website to set it up as an access point as well. My laptop works perfectly with it. Just my phone keeps dropping the connection from it. My main router is on channel 11 and the second router is on channel 6. I also tried channel 1 but it didn't help.
I might just to try set it up as a second router on a different subnet than the first router and see if that helps. Going to try to follow this Youtube video and see how it goes.

Hhmm ok. Well your main router shouldn't have anything to do with it. When it drops does it re-aquire an IP and reconnect? Honestly if a reboot of the router doesn't fix it and your laptop doesn't have the same issue, its pointing to the phone.
Maybe a factory reset?

It reconnects when I unlock the phone. Sometimes I have to reset the Wifi on the phone. Have set the Wifi connection to never sleep. My brother's Sensation was doing this as well. I'll have to test it out on his phone and see. I'll probably reset my phone later today and see if that works.

I'm really satisfied about defy's performances but there's something i can't figure out with WiFi connection. I'm currently using a netgear wireless-N router which works flawlessy with all the other devices, my defy instead is not able to stay connected for more than 10 seconds, keeping disconnecting and re-connecting to the router, continuosly. No way to use the browser or the market under Wi-Fi.
I'm also on a motorola's forum, there i found other people who experienced the same issue. Some of them say the problem is related to wireless-N routers and yes, it looks like defy works better with wireless-G routers (tested).
Btw, no problem with the 3G.
I was wondering if some of you, here in xda, got trouble with defy's WiFi.
FWIW, I use my defy with my linksys wrt54gl router with no issues whatsoever, so it very well may be the wireless n being the issue.
I'm using an access point (netgear) with wireless N and i'm connected to Wifi all the time. I've had this mobile for a week so i haven't noticed myself getting disconnected on skype...but it works fine with N
I see a wifi issue with my fritz.box as well. wifi is (and stays) connected, but no data is going through. I've found various tips like using static ip or using different channels, but in the end they didn't work for me.
so I rooted the defy and modified the tiwlan.ini where ht_enable was set from 1 to 0, which actually disables N, but gives me a reliable connection instead.
hth
thanks for your replies.
@trosenda
Most of the times it keep disconnecting but sometimes it stays connected but there's no flow of data, that is what happened to you.
I will try your method, disabling N (ht_enable set to 0) probably forces defy to go through G only.
thanks
I have a netgear wifi g and I have some trouble with defy which keep on disconnecting so I can't use the browser or the market...It's not related with wifi n because my router is only g but the problems are there...If you found a solution can you post a step by step explanation?
Solved I figured out defy don't like wifi n routers and protected ones. With a router that broadcasts on g channels with no protection (btw only mac adress control access) the defy works like a charm...hope this help others

Yes the problem is exactly what you said - defy doesn't like too much w-N and secured routers. Not all the people have this issue, however, it has been reported to Motorola through their forum. Let's wait for their answer, hopefully there could be a kind of fix.
I was having the same issue with my Belkin N (secured) in my house. But in two other buildings I have G routers w/o issues. So, I figured, just swap the N for a G, right? No. As soon as I tried either of the G routers in the house, same problem as with the N. So I put the Belkin back in the house and spent some time adjusting its three external antennae. Bingo! I now have as solid a connection with the N as with my two other G routers. Must have been interference. Phones? Applianaces? Sonos? BTW the only other thing I had with the same trouble was my PS3. Now, it's connected perfectly as well. Interference.
I'm online through my Linksys 610n router, haven't skipped a beat since I got the phone...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that turning of the n-standard on my router, going to b/g mixed (from b/g/n) worked great, no more disconnections. Before, is disconnected like all 20 seconds or so.
What worked for me:
My router is a netgear dgn1000 (a/b/g/n), i had WiFi issues for long time, i tried with the G mode only, tried all the possible configurations (both on phone and router), but nothing to do, disconnections every 10 seconds still going on.
Finally i got it working by following these three steps:
1) Update the router firmware (my router was updated to 1.1.00.41)
Then from your dgn1000 configuration page - 192.168.0.1 -
2) Go to "Wireless settings", switch to G mode
3) Go to "LAN Setup" and assign an address reservation to your defy (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
Note: I tried 2) and 3) before the firmware was updated, no success. So, if you have a dgn1000, first of all update the firmware.
Hope this can help

I had the DGN1000 with firmware 1.1.00.35 and my Milestone 2 was connecting very well. Now, I have a DGN1000 with the 1.1.00.28 and my Milestone 2 doesn't connect at all: every 10 secs the connection is re-established with a new dhcp request.
Do you think I ONLY have to change my firmware? Or I have to change also the address reservation?
hi,
why my DEFY wifi N only connect at 65mbit ???? why not 150mbit???
who knows something about it ???

FLS-BR how you maneged to get defy with 16GB is it froms SD card
So I got the dreaded "obtaining IP" loop. I searched and found others have this problem too, but not for the Nitro. Their fixes don't work for me.
I can connect to my friend's router just fine with his password. I also have 2 routers at my house, both have passwords. I can connect to one of them just fine, but the other doesn't work and that's the one I get better signal from! I'm 100% sure I have the right password and I know the router is working fine because everyone else can connect to that router just fine with their phone.
You're trying to connect to 2.4Ghz, not 5Ghz, correct? My Galaxy SII would connect to 5Ghz on my router, but my Nitro only connects to 2.4Ghz.
They are both identical routers in my house. They don't say the Ghz.

The nitro should support WPA2 just fine. Plain ole WPA is now fairly insecure and it is advisable to avoid using it if possible.

You are the man! So it works now. The other router that worked all along is off right now, but I'll check that out tomorrow.
What about my other family's phones for this router, will theirs work just the same as before?
The only thing I can think of that went wrong in the first place was that I didn't type in the right password. Even though I told my phone to forget it, since then I had the problem.

One thing I noticed about the Nitro and Wifi is that it's really picky when connecting to a router. The good thing is that the connection is very good once connected.
Wouldn't you know it. I haven't done a thing since yesterday and now it won't connect to the router that we fixed. I guess I'll play around with it some more. I can still connect to that other router just fine.
Edit* - I put everything back to how it was originally when it didn't work and now the phone connects to the wifi, weird. Its back on WPA2 and Ch.5 At least I know how to screw with it now!
Ya, I got this problem too. I get this when I root and then reboot (still rooted), dunno why. After I un-root and reboot, the problem goes away but I had to reboot the router too. In this whole procedure I never change the wifi access point setting, very very weird....

One quick thing to look at, that seems to pop up now and then, what's your DHCP lease set to? Setting to '0' (that should be forever) doesn't work as well for some chipsets it appears. If you just have bad luck getting/keeping a lock on your router, try changing the dhcp to something else, 2 weeks ish? Play with it.
Might be something else entirely, but after having seen this 3 times now, it's worth a bash.

TKS for replay...seems netgear wndr3800 not allow change the dhcp lease set...there are not option about dhcp lease set...and as my custom...i have set the gn as a static ip...so it may not be effect to the dhcp lease set...both wnr612 v2 or wndr3800...all of them not have option to set dhcp lease...
What type of connection are you using on the wndr3800?
2.4ghz, 5ghz?
And what channel, since you have two routers, make sure they're on different channels and opposite, set one to 1 and the other 11 or 6.
Also what type of security? wep? wpa2?
Try using 2.4ghz, i found the 5ghz isn't very strong/good with gnex.
Also you can try with NO security and see if it works better.
...
worse comes to worse, reset your wndr3800 back to default and regular dhcp no static, no custom settings for anything and go no security on wifi or go wep.
...
Also, since you have 2 routers, you have them set so that only 1 is doing the dhcp and the other is turned off right? you can't have 2 routers doing dhcp.

i worked round it by not using DHCP on the phone, change it to manual setting and assign an IP (or keep the current setting) to the device (long press on your connected wifi, then choose modify; for some reason adding new connection only accept DHCP by default). need to do that at the router end as well, edit the lan setting and record the phone MAC address to that IP. someone on another thread mentioned, if my memory serves me right, that GNex can have wifi issue with some routers' DHCP setting, causing it to drop connection when new lease was issued, and this is the reason why i choose not to use DHCP.
TKS,I try it…hope it can work…

Gnex takju stock + Netgear WNDR3700 (running DD-WRT) WPA2 PSK = Total failure to connect.
It was fine with ICS, but since the OTA it will not work despite trying every setting and factory reset.
it may cause by DD-WRT…i use netgear stock fireware…never try any 3rd fireware…

I tried your suggestion,unfortunately,issue still…in my friend's coffe shop just now…gn wifi works fine with his tplink wireless router…received any push message/email fast under screen lock…so i still believe the issue cause by netgear router…or the setting with it…

seem i found out why this issue comes....
the GN can connect to all dlink/tp-link wireless router and never disconnect after screen lock...so i check the advance wirelees setting about three sets include netgear.dlink and tplink...i found the netgear has a few option you can set about advance wireless setting...the other two router have very detail setting about wireless...read the help text...i found the beacon peroid may cause this issue...default value is 100...so i tried to increase the value to 200..oops...the gn disconnect the wifi...and i can't receive any data...just like the email sync,weather sync,and google play push soft install...then i decrease the value to default..the wifi work fine,i can receive any data under the screen lock...then i continue decrease the value to 50/20..nice...no any issue...so i believe is the beacon peroid cause this issue...but the question is the netgear never has a option to let me change the bacon peroid value...so i will connect to the factory...hope they can fix it in the near future...
attachment: what is the beacon peroid
beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices...specify a beacon period value between 20 and 1000 the default value is set to 100 milliseconds...

No issues with wndr3700 here.
On your gnex, go to setting gas, WiFi, then press the menu button go to advanced and check the WiFi sleep policy. Make sure it's set always on "keep WiFi on during sleep"

My main router is my FiOS router, that does all the DHCP, I have one of the ports plugged into my WNDR3700's port (not WAN port), I use the WNDR3700 for all WIFI devices.
I have DHCP turned off on the WNDR3700
Basic Wireless Settings
Both 2.4GHz b/g/n and 5GHz a/n I have SSID broadcast on, and set to Up to 300Mbps.
2.4GHz set to Channel 03, and 5GHz set to channel 36
I use WPA2-PSK [AES] for both radios.
In Advance Wireless Settings, it's all default.
Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are the same:
Fragmentation Length: 2346
CTS/RTS Threshold: 2347
Preamable Mode: Automatic
Transmit Power Control: 100%
That's it, I do have MAC Address Filtering too, but that shouldn't matter.
Again, everything else is default.

TKS for your reply...every setting is same to yours...except the internet connect through by WNDR3800...my friend got another GN yesterday...and has the same issue in my house (he used tplink in his house,and work fine)...i used his GN do more test with my wndr3800 and wnr612...same issue...
i'll try do most test again and again...
again...TKS for your help...
For some reason, my Wifi connectivity on my GNexus has gotten really bad lately. I'm trying to connect to my home router (Netgear WNDR3400), and it gets stuck on a loop at obtaining IP address then avoided poor connection and it keeps reseting back and forth. It only manages to connect maybe 20 mins in the day and it looses the connection again.
Reseting the router only fixes the problem momentarily then the next day it can't connect again. The router is working perfectly fine in my house w/ the computer and laptops. iPhone and HTC Thunderbolt are also perfectly fine.
What can I do to fix this?

Have you tried assigning a static ip address to the phone?
Also what type of network? My phone does it on a 802.1 wireless b network with identity security (individual uname and password to connect) Which is what my university uses... annoying it was, but i found out that foxfi was causeing the issue. But im assuming your home network isnt like that.
How do I assign a static IP to the phone?
My router is 802.11n. And it has network security, secured by WPA/WPA2 to be exact.
App called WiFi static will let you set a static IP within a dhcp network. You probably can do it through your router as well. I would read up on static vs dhcp if you have never set up a static IP before. Also you'll want to see what all of the clients ips are so you don't create a duplicate.

Is there another solution other than that?

Try to flash another Rom.I had the same issue with cm 10.1 based roms, but after flashing aokp based roms problem was solved.

Anyone having this issue on the Verizon stock ROM 4.2.2? I cannot connect to any wifi with DHCP. The only way I can connect is if I enter at static IP. I have tried about a half dozen access points with no luck. I have even done a complete phone wipe of data and tried reconnecting without logging into my google account to sync down my wifi settings. This pretty much prevents me from connecting to any public wifi hotspots unless I can guess their IP range. I have never had anything other than the stock ROM and OTA updates. Is there something somewhere I can clear or reset to fix this? It worked at one time long ago prior to jellybean I think.
Anyone have a favourite wi-fi static ip manager?
(I'm on stock gb.)
-----
At home, I have to set a static ip or I can't connect. So far this is (sort of) ok - I turn off static ip when I leave, turn it back on when I return. The settings are remembered. However, if I have to start setting different static ip at different locations, this is going to quickly become a PITA.
In another building, 4 different SSID's available, the phone just goes into a disconnect / connect cycle on 3 of them (1 a TP-Link router, other 2 on a Cisco Valet M10) - never getting an IP. I'm guessing I'm running into the same static ip problem there, and need to set different static ip's depending upon which SSID I want to connect to.
Anyone have a favourite app for per SSID static ip setting / remembering?
TIA

Why the need for static IP? DHCP should work great. I use DHCP on my phone and never have to worry. Is it a security issue?

D'OH!. Sorry, left that part completely out ...
Hardware issues of some sort, between routers and phone.
e.g. At home, everything is happy, non-phone, wired and wireless. With phone, with DHCP, it never connects. As soon as I set static, off it goes.
I agree, other places, leave DHCP, and all is fine.
But not at home, and now, I suspect, at this other location.
Various threads in various places seem to acknowledge the problem, it's not limited to particular phones or routers as far as anybody can tell, and the problem hasn't been pinned down to any particular cause / solution. One thread ponders whether it's an 802.11n-only router issue, but that isn't my case. I wonder if it has to do with particular router chipsets, but haven't enough information to draw any correlation.
So, I'm thinking it's worth trying static IPs at the other location, and thought I'd ask if anyone had a favourite app.
(It being all too easy to drown in useless results at the store, much like any internet search.)
Unfortunately I would say the majority of people use DHCP. If I were you I would try to fix the DHCP compatibility issue with your router. Try updating your firmware on it or lowering it to an older version. If your router supports it try DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.ca/site/index) You can always also change your router but that has a cost associated to it, so try the free stuff first. Perhaps you have already done all this and I am just talking to hear my own voice (text). In that case disregard my message and carry on....

I agree, the majority of the time, DHCP works.
Part of the point of asking

is that it doesn't all of the time.
And such an app is a diagnostic step towards detecting if a static/DHCP issue is in play.
Already running OpenWRT on my own router, Netgear WNDR3700 {dual-band, gigabit} (that needs the static IP, and I'm good with that).
Of course, I have no control over the routers in other locations.
