When I try to use my wifi connection at home its really really slow. Sometimes it just loads part of the websites or some other it doesnt load at all and I have to refresh it several times so it loads. I also have an iphone and a laptop which dont have this problem at all. Theyre working perfectly fine with my wifi connection.
This only happens with wifi, on 3g it works fine. I havent been able to try more wifi networks to see if this only happens with mine
Are you rooted? Could certainly be a kernel issue.

To me it shouts out kernel issue. I've had graphical errors on stock where it shows I don't have any signal but everything still pulls up nice and fast. I would reccomend a new rom and or kernel

It also could be a WiFi issue. I was having WiFi issues with my GNex also that I thought was the phone until I started tweaking my Router settings. Some devices are more forgiving to certain routers. In addition some devices Roam to different AP's much better than others.
I have 2 WiFi AP's in my house to span covereage across 2900sqft. I found that my WiFi was just conflicting with each other causing issues with speed and connection so this is what I did.
My Modem is a TWC Wireless Modem - WiFi turned off.
Router 1 Linksys E4200 is Bridged to TWC Modem it is dual band so I have the 5ghz band set MyHomeAP in mixed mode with a 40Mhz Spread, using 36 as the Channel. The 2.4Ghz band is set to MyHomeAP-N in N only mode with a 40mhz Spread and 11 as the channel. I need a seperate SSID here because it was causing conflicts and I needed a 2.4ghz connection upstairs for my Transformer Prime Tab since it does not support 5ghz radios.
Router 2 Netgear WNR300L with DD-WRT loaded is downstairs on the other side of the house. It is a 2.4 ghz router which I have set to MyHomeAP with a 20mhz spread set to channel 1. This allows my devices that are 5ghz compatible to Roam between each AP without conflicts.
So with all that I am now getting 45 mbs WiFi when I am upstairs and connected to the Linksys and 21 mbps downstairs when I am connected to the Netgear downstairs. The Tab is getting a consistent 15mbps on each router which is acceptable for me. This is an improvement from getting 3mbps anywhere in the else regardless of the closeness to the router or the device being used. I'm now able to maximizesmy use of the WideBand service which gets about 52 mbps on a wired connection most of the time.
The GN has lots of issues with different network gear and a lot of it can't be solved by tweaking. Seems like I've heard the most success stories with netgear. I'm using ubee and trendnet and my wifi isn't great. I get between 5 and 20 mbps and its choppy with a lot of disconnects.

You always have to be careful using multiple Wireless routers in the house, because if they are not setup right you will get consistent disconnects and low speeds. Same thing was happening to me until I really digged in and configured my multiple routers correctly. Check my previous post on how I solved my router issues.
Are you getting good signal when your connected to your wifi

Just one router, the time warner ubee docsis 3.0 modem/router. The rest are trendnet APs at 1,6,11. All with same ssid and security. No interference as checked with wifi analyzer. The wifi just sucks. Not much more you can say except try different gear which shouldn't be necessary. All of my laptops etc work great.
I tried my gnex on other wifi network and it worked well. I tried it again on mine with negative results. Idk what could be wrong, all other devices i have, 2 laptops and 1 iphone work well

What's wrong is the GNs wifi doesn't play nice with all network gear as it should. Just curious, what is your router and APs?

Your basic rate is set to 1-2mbs, so don't expect more than that. Change it to 54mbs or whatever the max is and see if it helps.

Wondering if anyone else is having issues connecting to a 5ghz network? I wasn't able to get it working, wouldn't even show up in available networks. That was stock out of the box, and after flashing a couple ROMs. I'm using slimbean now and am able to connect, but I have to turn WiFi on/off several times on the n7 before it shows up and connects. My s 3 connects no problem.
And I've tried all the standard troubleshooting on the router. Even changed some settings on the 5GHz band.
So if someone could double check for me that would be great!

5ghz works great for me. Reception is the best I've ever gotten on that band. Currently on stock, but it's worked in CM10 too
The 5 ghz didn't show up for me either. Had to manually enter the SSID and it connected right away.

On the first boot it didn't show my 5GHz WiFi, but after I connected it to my 2.4GHz, it immediately downloaded an update and rebooted itself. When it came back up, it saw my 5GHz.

My Nexus 7 connects to my 5ghz router band all the time. I think it actually prefers it. I'm using it right now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Well I think I have it working. I gave the n7 a static address and now after a half dozen reboots its auto connecting every time. I tried changing channels on the router. Tried 20/40 MHz channel width. Ticked on/off all the options on n7 WiFi settings. Nothing worked. Then I set static address on my tablet and router and like I said so far so good.
I'll update if there are any other issues because doing a search showed a lot of other devices having this issue. But none of the results recommended setting a static address. Maybe I got lucky. I could use my 2.4GHz network reliably but I want full network speed since I only have the 16 GB model and do a lot of folder syncs to keep my SD storage free.
Edit: scratch that. Worked half dozen times in a row. Rebooted after I wrote this and it didn't connect.

During initial setup i was not able to connect to my 5ghz but i was able to connect to my 2.4ghz. After setup was complete i was able to go in and switch it manually to the 5ghz network. If i power the device off and turn it back on it would not connect to my 5ghz or my 2.4ghz. I then went into wifi advanced settings and switched to 5ghz only and it connected immediately to the network and hasn't lost it since. This was true before and after the update, i am stock, unlocked and rooted. I also do not broadcast my ssid.

If I am connected to 5ghz and go in advanced and select 5ghz only, it disconnects me from WiFi. It will still show my 5ghz network in range with good signal but if I now try to connect..it does nothing. Keep clicking connect and nothing happens. Then go back and put frequency on auto and the 5ghz disappears. I then have to toggle WiFi 4-6 times before it connects again to the 5ghz.
Strange.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I had the same problem at first too. Here's what solved it for me: set 5ghz frequency to 20mhz instead of auto, change the channel from auto to any number you want, 5ghz will most likely be completely clear in your area so just choose any channel. After doing that it should see the 5ghz network every time and connect automatically.

Same issue here. But i have to restart my device. Is it hardware or software you guys think?

I'm not sure. Seems like software to me because once its connected it stays connected. And the signal range is really good. Better WiFi than any phone I've ever had. Better than my laptop too. My s3 has no problems connecting. Even with all the router settings I've tweaked its never had an issue connecting with the s3.
Are you able to connect?
In another thread someone noticed his WiFi settings were set to Europe. He said he hadn't changed them and that he was fresh on stock (his first time booted). Double check your settings if you're still having issues.
Settings | WiFi | advanced | WiFi region code.
Mine was also set to Europe as well for some reason. If your router is setup to use a channel not available in Europe this would cause the problems described here.

Update..powered on after a few hours and it did not connect to 5ghz. Went in to the advanced settings and switched from 5ghz to 2.4 and back again and connected right away. Will try the region code, to see if it helps.
update to the update: flashed vanir 4.3.081213 and wifi connected to my 5ghz right away and has continued working through two reboots so far. On stock rooted 4.3 i had to toggle wifi frequency to get it to connect after every reboot.

OK guys, I think I have as real solid lead on this bug. I'll update with some info a little later, I want to test this some more. But for now I'll say that I made some changes and I have had zero disconnects or problems connecting while toggling or after reboot. And I mean 100% connection rate after 50 toggles and a dozen reboots.
Till I can get the info up, one question for you guys having the same issue. Do you have multiple routers in your network and/or custom firmware on your router?

so can it be fix with n9005 rom ?
Or i have to wait for the 4.4 kitkat from t-mobile ?

Is this happening on every network or one specific network?

I was having issues with my WIFI also. It wouldn't connect on 2.4 GHz but would on 5 GHz. The performance wasn't great and I would get the connection isn't stable message a lot. I tried a bunch of things on my router and finally just did a factory reset on the router. I can now connect of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. My connection speed has also improved dramatically. I didn't think it was a router issue since the Note 3 WIFI issues are pretty well known to be a problem. In my case, doing a factory reset on the router helped my problem a lot. For reference it is an ASUS RT-AC66R
I used the app WIFI Analyzer from the play store to monitor the signal strengths. Since doing the factory reset on the router, I only see the connection is unstable message very rarely.

I had same issues I thought phone was junk but it was my router. So I upgraded and set my Wi-Fi channel manually and not I am without Wi-Fi issues
TWEAKED 2.0 NOTE 3
You can turn off the option in the wifi settings that lets the phone auto disconnect from wifi if it thinks the wifi signal is weak or unstable. I sit 10 feet from my wifi router and it used to go back to the cell signal randomly. I disabled the auto switch option and no issue since. My wifi at home is very strong so I think its a bugged setting or something.
"Your network connection is unstable, so we in our smart thoughts have decided to disable it. Kiss my Gritts ". Ho Hummmmm
click dont show this option again

If you are sure your WiFi is good, then go to WiFi settings,
1) Switch OFF Auto network switch
2) Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always

Man, wish I had known about this... My Nexus 5 and 7 (and office iPhone 5S) all have excellent Wifi connection at my home.
I bought Note 3 to use the Wi-Fi calling feature and this caused me to missed multiple phone calls. Apparently, when the Note 3 is on Wi-Fi calling, it sorts of "disable" or reduce the cellular radio signal - zero bar shown on my Note 3 - all calls and SMS go through Wi-Fi. When the Wi-fi drop, it takes sometimes for the Note to establish cellular connection and that's when I missed the call.
Not to mention I am browsing happily or streaming Netflix and BAM.. wi-fi dropped and everything stopped.
If the Kit Kat upgrade fixes this issue AND not bring anymore problem (as evident from numerous threads), I would have upgraded to Kit Kat already.
Dammit, over the course of browsing for an hour, the wi-fi disconnect over 5 times.
What the hell!?
Sooo I've had my M8 for nearly a month now and I love the thing. However, I notice that I've been having some issues with the M8 not being able to detect or connect to my home and office's wifi. My laptop and my fiance's Nexus 5 can detect our home wifi network with full strength.
Interestingly, the closer I get to my router, the stronger the signal gets, but the moment I move maybe 20 feet away into another room, the wifi cuts out or gets very weak. I understand that distance is a factor, but I feel that my M8 should be able to connect to my router in the next room, especially when other devices can do so with no problem.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not always an issue. This only started happening recently - the only software upgrade that I did was the Verizon push that installed right out the box. I have not made any changes to my wifi network at home or work.
I've tried a couple of things with no resolution, including;
Resetting my router (power cycling)
Restarting my phone
Forgetting both wifi networks and manually re-adding them
Changing my wifi direct name
Turning on airplane mode, turning off my wifi, turning off airplane mode then turning on wifi (this was a suggested method for the M7 that I saw on another forum)
I did some Googling and didnt find much, so maybe I just have a lemon, but I did see that wifi connectivity was an issue with the M7.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm having the exact same problem getting over 20Mbps over Ethernet but then 0.25Mbps on my M8 over WiFi even when close to router
Have you guys played around with your routers settings?
What signal is your router on, wireless b,g,n,ac?
Is it throwing mixed frequency? (2.4ghz or 5ghz or both)
Go to WiFi settings in the phone, then advanced, then it will probably say "auto".
Try setting it on only 2.4ghz or only 5ghz see if that helps.

So it's not just me. Hmm.
Yes i think its aome software problem because it worked for me first time only for a 10 mins and then it never connected.
I even tried hard reset but not successfull.
So I tried connecting to it again, and I noticed it keeps losing sight of the wifi connection. It will show my 5GHz network out of range, and then try to connect, then show it out of range for a bit again.
I found a solution go to wifi settings and go to menu and advanced and turn off smart network switch and always allow scanning. And then reset ur modem and router and it should work .
It worked for me and now my 5ghz is working fine.
Mine has worked since I got the phone. With the authentication error, are you positive you've entered the correct key? With the weak signal, have you tried a different channel, maybe some interference going on???

Yup I'm sure, it's the same password as the 2.4GHz network. Besides that, it works for my laptop and tablet perfectly fine.
I reset my modem and router again and now it worked. Guess it just took some motivation lol.
On 2.4GHz I got like 15-25mbps on my wifi.
Here's 5GHz:
Wish Verizon's LTE wasn't pathetic compared to the competition, especially given how expensive they are.
