Am running 4.1.1 on HSPA+ and continue to have very poor connectivity issues with Wifi (everywhere, not just in my house). Other than having an unlocked bootloader and being rooted, the device is stock.
My AP in the house is running on Channel 1, and there's no other WiFi that's close to my house. No RF inteference to speak of (e.g. no Microwave's running or 2.4ghz FH devices in vicinity). Right now, am not so close to the AP, but have good singal strength on my device -65dBm. AP is a Linksys WAP54g w/latest firmware available running WPA2 Personal AES. The device may eventually connect, but often it just hangs on "connecting." I've tried to change to WPA2 "mixed" (AES+TKIP) but that doesn't seem to have any impact (still hangs on negotiating). I would just chalk this up to a Linksys issue, but I have had same issues out in public WiFi.
P.S. I was using WiFi Analyzer to manage the connection, and didn't see the message regarding "Poor Internet Connection" and reason for failure. I changed the Advanced Wi-Fi option to deselect that option, and rebooted the device, and then connected OK.
P.S.S. I have a Nexus 7 on same network with no issues (the UI has no option for "Avoid Poor Internet"

I've upgraded my TyTn to WM6 using the new repackaged rom from Mrvanx, however I have a weird problem with the wifi.
It cannot see my router whereas before I upgraded there was always a strong signal.
I have set up the WPA encryption key etc. and also set the router up without encryption but it just shows unavailable in the list.
A neighbours network which is also WPA is found OK and it connects and asks for a key.
My laptop is connecting OK to the router so I assume all is OK with the router.
No mac filtering or anything like that installed in the router.
Noticed unlike old wm 5 the wifi Icon only stays active for about 20 secs even though in comms manager the WIFI icon shows it switched on?
Anyone got an idea what might be the problem. I do like the ROM but I do need my wifi on trips and I need to travel soon again so hoping I can fix this.

ROM 3.54,707.3 repackaged
Radio 1.03.03.10
WIfi Woes - part success - update
OK I found the answer but created another question ;-)
For security I turn off the SSID broadcast on my router. I turned it on and the TyTn immediately connected.
I always had a good connection on my original WM 5 ROM without SSID, but it appears the new one will not even see the network without SSID broadcasts.
Are there any other settings in the device to allow it to work without SSID because I am thinking that maybe some free WIFI accespoints have it turned off too?

Hi guys,
I have an issue on my HOX. On the stock software I could connect to my work internet but not my home internet. This is my setup at home:
Netgear Router DGN2200 (First router that connects to the dsl): (Let's call this A1)
DHCP enable
No firewall
WPA2 security
Zyxel Repeater (This takes the wifi signal from the above router and boosts the signal. All it does.): (Let's call this A2)
Set up as universal Booster.
No DHCP
No Firewall
Security #1 (this is the connection from the Repeater to the main router (above)): WPA2
Security #2 (this is the Repeater's OWN security to gain access to the router) WPA2
Netgear Router DGN2200 (My router in my house. Doesn't connect to dsl via Telkom.) (Let's call this A3)
DHCP Disabled
No Firewall
Tried all kinds of security lol. Believe Android likes WPA(TKIS) more so it is on that at the moment.
Connects to the Repeater via a normal LAN cable.
NB: When I connect to the router that makes the DSL connection I can browse. If I connect to the repeater or the router(that is actually acting as a switch) then it doesn't work. I still have the same IP, gateway, DNS, ect.
So why doesn't the phone go through the router to the repeater then to the internet? Is there perhaps a setting on the netgear router to not allow a connection IF...
When I use my laptop,pc,HTC Sensation or Blackberry I can connect to either A2 or A3 and it works. It's just the HOX that doesn't. A1 is out of range from my place that's why I have this entire setup.
I did root my HOX and with the HTC CM9 rom it does work. Stock rom and Android Revolution it doesn't (I would like to keep Android Revolution on my phone coz I like sense)
Please help

Hi, I have exactly the same problem and HTC email helpline have been of no use - basically they just say it must be the range extenders fault. So, really pleased to find someone else has the same problem!!
My router is a Technicolour TG582n supplied by Plusnet and the range extender is an EdiMax EW-7416APn V2. My One X works perfectly with the router but when I move out of range it connects to the Edimax, says "connected" and "signal strength excellent BUT when I enter a url the green connection indicator bar stays at the left of the screen and nothing happens until it says "timed out".
Of note is the fact that my HTC HD2 ( and my wifes iPhone and iPad) work perfectly with the extender so proving that it must be the One X that is at fault.
I also need help please!
there's several posts about connections that does connect but they can't browse. But that is mostly just one router and they have security issues or DHCP issues.
One thing to mention is all of the network devices are running the same security (changed it now) and also on the same channel and the they are all on a "G" speed. Tried the others but nothing so...
Is your HOX rooted? Have you tried this rom:

That one works but it doesn't have sense

Hi RenVila,
Thanks for you reply - afraid I am new to this and don't have much technical knowledge!
My phone is standard, as supplied by Vodafone.
I will need simple simple help!!
Bump.. Anyone please help
I have a N7100 and I am also having wifi connectivity issues
I read the old wifi connectivity thread but my issue doesn't seem to be the same.
.I have a broadband wifi router which I also use an iPad, win Xp laptop, HTC Wildfire S and Motorola defy through, all of which have been fine (using WEP encryption)
)Unfortunately the note II seems to connect but then doesn't access the Internet.
The phone's wifi page shows connection. It connects then receives and IP address but then the alert comes up that there is no Internet access. I also use fing which says that there is no wifi network.
I''ve downloaded the apps wifi manager and wifi analyser to try and get to the bottom of it but they both say I have good signal strength and are connected.
Wifi analyser showed there was a bit of crossover from another AP router next door so I changed the channel to give clear air between us. I then reconnected all the devices and they all work -apart from my new Note.
My question so are 1)is there any more i can do to fix it. 2)where should I look to find the logs which might let me diagnose it a bit better . I should add that sometimes it just works and can browse and download as normal, but most of the time it doesn't.
I started to have trouble connecting to wifis few days ago, it says that signal is very strong i even see full bars and it stops on "containing IP adress" and then shows up window that signal is poor and doesnt connect, but wifi is working my friend next to me was connected, its in a bar and like 2 weeks ago i was able to connect to that very same wifi, very disappointing, no clue what could be wrong
I am looking for an app that lets me control what frequency my phone uses for WiFi.
Alright....I am so sick and tired of all the issues I get with WiFi on my Nexus 5x. It seems like every new build I get more and more issues. Stock, Pure Nexus, and RR Roms have all given me issues.
I know that this was an option in the WiFi settings pre-Android 6.0. With how many issues with WiFi has been present in N and M, I have read that controlling what frequency has helped other people.
With the removal of the WiFi frequency option the updated WiFi code is going to try and secure the best connection. The problem with that is my Nexus 5ghz doesn't like connecting to 5ghz. The issue is that my works router has multiple Access Points that broadcast in 2.5ghz and 5ghz. My phone won't stay connected to WiFi because it connects to a 2.5 and then goes to a 5ghz thinking it is a better connection
Hi there.
I hope, I am in the right forum ...
Since a few days I have issues with my WiFi connections. I tried to
reboot
shutdown and restart
reset network settings
used different WiFis (but from the same router)
Other WiFi devices in my network have no issues. What I was changing in the last days was, that I added a repeater to the mesh WiFi. But even when I am not connected to the repeater but directly to my router (which is AVM FritzBox 6591 cable - Germany), it drops the connection. To be more precise, it says "Connected without internet".
Any ideas maybe...?
Thanks in advance!
As solution to this strange behaviour I found that connection added with QR code works fine. The QR code scanned network has the exact same settings than the manually added, but stays connected stable *hummm
maybe this can help someone later..
thanks anyway
