I have Cisco wag320n.. :\

I had the same problem. It's the modem not the phones problem. You need a better router.

Wifi problems

I'm on stock efo2 with ef10 modem
I can connect to 3g and 4g just fine but wifi disconnects as soon as it connects
Its not my router cause my iphone 3gs and nexus s can connect and I went to my friends place and tried his too.
My epic could connect before so I'm wondering what wrong
I don't think my modem failed

Changed channels on wifi router
Both my wife and I have Epics and they did the same thing a few weeks ago. Very frustrating when your 3g signal is weak at the house. My phone had been rooted in the past but I was back on stock for other reasons. My wifes phone has never been rooted. I decided to root my phone again and went to the EE03 modem and gingerbread rom to see if that would help. It didn't. I tried my old SDF rom from a few months ago and it was still the same. Finally I went in to our router settings (even though it works great with our wii, and both laptops) and changed the channel from 1 to 11 and now our phones connect great and stay connected. What really baffles me is that my phone wifi seemed to do the same cycling thing on other wifi signals as well. I haven't tried it at other places since it started working at home again. If I think of it I'll do that and post back the results.
So for me, changing the channel on our wifi router seemed to fix the problem.
Might be worth a shot.
Thx
Ill try that
Now time to google how to
Today after I left my house and left for work my modem just died so my phone was just as good as a brick
I just fixed it now
And as you said flashing modems dont help

Question... Do you have your settings for your Wifi router saved on your phone? ...My buddy was having this problem yesterday, and I told him to reset the settings and he reconnected and everything worked after that. It's worth a shot if you haven't tried it already.
Damn it didnt work

Try a different modem, like EF02, EE03, or EC05. Or something in your rom may have gotten corrupted. Try flashing a new rom and kernel. Wipe everything first. Or try a nandroid from before you had the issue, if you have one available. Not entirely sure these ideas will help, but worth a try I suppose.

I too am having wifi issues at home. I can connect elsewhere but my unsecured router at home will not let me obtain an IP. Rather than make a new thread I thought id try and post here
I'm still having this problem
but only a select few have this problem and I still have it even after moving to eg22

Bump and I guess the only solution is to buy a new router

Fixed
What I did was go to cmd prompt
Type ipconfig
Take the number next to gateway
Paste that number into the browser
Google what your router's default password
Now find factory reset
That's all I had to do

how old is your house
I just recently moved & @ my old place I couldnt get my wifi to work @ all or even work on my xbox that was 5ft from the router & then i move out, dont change anything & like magic my wifi works perfectly on everything. i was told it was bc my old place was sooooo old it was made back when they used chicken wire to hold the "drywall mud" bc back then drywall didnt come in sheets it came in a bucket...
Not sure if this is the same problem or not.
My WIFI shows as being connected even when it is not connected. Thus, it appears that I am connected but data is in fact NOT working.
I tested this by choosing an encrypted wifi connection in my neighborhood and entering a random password. To my suprise IT CONNECTED! Nope, not really. it just showed like it was connected, it really showed that I had connected to my neighbors encrypted WIFI, but when I opened the browser to navigate I got nothing. Fooled me.
Any ideas?

Check
Hi mate,
First off - check another Wi-Fi. Does it do the same ?
Second - download a different Wi-Fi software.
There is enough of them out there for you to choose from.
Question: How close are you to the Wi-Fi router ?
(Maybe the antenna of the laptop wifi is simply stronger)
This could cause the loosing of signal.
GOOD LUCK !
do a full wipe if you have the time.
What is ICS8.5?

CleanRom 3.5 and wifi issue

Anyone else with this rom had any issues with reconnection to wifi after restart? When i restart my phone, the wifi is turned on, but it doesn't connect till i go in and tell it to connect to my home wifi. It shows that its still a saved connection too. I experimented a little and noticed its only on the 5g band and that the 2.4g band seems to work fine.

It has been mentioned multiple times: there is a known issue with 4.2.1 based ROMs reconnecting automatically to 5Ghz bands. All of them.

Do you mean 4.1.2? Because this isn't 4.2.1.
For the OP - I haven't had any issues connecting to the WiFi on CleanRom 3.5. Just did a reboot for the heck of it and it obtained an IP right away and worked flawlessly.

are you using a 5g wifi band or 2.4g?
I have the same issue on all 4.1.2 roms I've tried including stock and clean rom.
What router are you using? I have an Asus rt-n66u with custom firmware.

Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. It's due to renew and release of address. 4.2 should have fixed it

My wifi is broken? How to fix. Help please

Suddenly i am having wi-fi problems with my htc one.
I am on android revo hd rom v15
After a month using the rom just recently i experienced a problem with my wifi.. My wifi cant detect routers within a range. It can only detect it if you are directly stamding beside the router. Two to four feet away will make the wifi signal 1bar. Then going further will loose the connection. How can i fix it. Please help me..

Might be the infamous WiFi problem, try doing squeeze test of problem persists after changing a ROM.

Tried the press thing method it did work. So this means this is a hardware problem? Does htc accept warranty even rooted and unlock bootloader?
