Help with Wi-Fi connectivity - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I recently upgraded my internet service in my house but cant seem to access the Wi-Fi on my Galaxy Nexus. I am able to find Wi-Fi on my Nexus 7 however. I have tried rebooting, scanning for Wi-Fi access and adding a network...any ideas??

Which channel is your wifi broadcast at?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

Try removing all remembered access points and rescan.

In your router set the Wi-Fi settings to mixed and make sure you have low signal unchecked under phone and try using the 5ghz setting. Mine doesn't like being in the 2ghz and is faster on 5 also.

Tablet disconnects from GNexus hotspots every 12mins

Hi, I'm having this problem with internet connection using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my Galaxy Nexus. My A500 (Tablet) connects without a hitch to the Nexus but after 12 mins (this happens after each connection),the tablet disconnects then waits for about 20secs before establishing connection again.
While all this is going on, the hotspot on GNexus is still very much on.
This can be annoying especially when streaming videos on the A500 which tends to result in starting the videos all over again ie after each disconnection.
What can i do to resolve this issue? And is this a problem from GNexus or A500?
I'm on Stock Honeycomb 3.2.1 on the tablet and not rooted while GNexus is on Stock ICS and unrooted. Thanks

i used to have an a500(gave it to my dad) and wi-fi drop out was a common problem for me, i just rooted and changed to a custom ROM and it was fixed.

I have the same problemwith my HTC Flyer (rooted and 3.2.1) and stock Gnex 4.0.2. Sure would be nice to use this feature again without any problems.
Try another tethering app like Android Tether

The first step is to figure out which device is the problem. You need to discover that out for yourself by using a third wifi device and try using that as a hotspot and a streaming device. After you figure out which is actually the problem then you can report back

If this turns out an ICS/nexus software issue, and hotspot is renewing dhcp licence every 12mins, OP should check official bugtracker (he's on stock), and if issue has not yet been reported, then do so.

WiFi auto connect issues

I have done a lot of searching before posting this however I am still unable to not only auto connect to known WiFi networks, my galaxy s3 is not remembering passwords for known networks. This is happening on any WiFi network I connect to. It seems to me that the galaxy is not remembering any networks. I have not connection issue. Am able to use the network / internet after connecting just have to input password every time. Any help on this is appreciated.
This is a phone issue not router.
Every network I connect to happens the same way.

It's not a phone issue, it's a ROM/settings issue.
Any insight as to which or how to fix? Happens on stock and cm nightly.

I had the same issue you are having a while back and found out that some wireless routers do
not work exactly normally when the phone tries to connect with it without first asking for password
each and every time.
The way I fixed my problem was instead of typing in passwords, I used the WPS push-button on the wireless router
to establish the secure connection, since then I never had any problems.
Good Luck!
Thanks, I do have wps router so will try and see what happens.

Try turning off wifi optimization. I think that should solve your problem. I had that issue a while back also.

The ping time is up and speed is down on network as well. Lte is not in my area so 4g is all I can test with

Up from?
Ping times on HSPA/+ are typically higher than LTE or WiFi.
Are they noticeably higher than before? It sounds like one thing you have no done is try rebooting your wireless router.
Another option, which I cannot personally confirm works, is tweaking your WiFi settings, specifically power saving mode in regards to the WiFi card in your phone. Make note that this could also lead to more battery drain with extensive WiFi usage (streaming and such).
In your dialer type *#0011#
This will bring you to ServiceMode. Hit Menu and select WiFi. Turn off WIFI Power Save Mode.
I doubt this will help, but you can try it.
Alternatively, you can boot in to Recovery and clear the cache on your phone.
