Anyone else having WiFi issues?

I'm having issues with WiFi staying connected in my house.
Anyone have an idea on what I can do?

Just tossing this out there...
Alot of wireless routers provided by cable companies are limited to 5 devices... my provider actually has 5 listed in their tos..

And that would make sense, but it's also when I'm on my work's WiFi

What firmware?
Mine works fine. I use wifi sync with winamp and did my initial sync overnight without any errors.

2.3.3 Stock, no root

I've been having wifi issues too. It's connected, but there is no data being sent/received. It's happened on sense, cm7, omfgb. I've tried reseting the phone and the router but nothing has helped. Has anyone found out how to remedy this issue?

I'd love to investigate further but I can't reproduce this problem
Can you describe your wifi setup (router and phone) so I can try to replicate the conditions?

I have an old linksys srx200 router connected to the router Comcast gave me (the black box that runs phone and internet). My phone is a recently gb s-off rooted inc2. I tried sense (stock and virtuous), omfgb, cm7 and they all have the problem so I'm thinking its either my phone or router...
A few posts above talks about having too many computers connected to the router being the problem, which could possibly be my case but hasn't been a problem until a few days ago... I have up to 2 desktops and 2-4 laptops connected at once (yes, I have a big family). I hope all this info helps

My first step would be to update the firmware on your router. You also states that your linksys srx200 is connected to a Comcast "router" . Do you mean modem or is it a gateway (modem with built in router ) because if the latter, then the dual Nat setup may be causing issues. But with some info we can tackle it.

It's a Comcast modem that also hooks up the home phone line, sorry about the confusion. I have updated the firmware, but linksys has only come out with one firmware update in the years that I have had the router. The update hasn't helped much and the open firmwares like ddrt (if I remember correctly) isn't supported for the modem.

I have problems with wifi dropping out in my house, too.
Comcast modem, old D-link 524 router, all other electronics have no problems staying connected, down to my old Palm TX.
On the Dinc2, it drops frequently.

I was just noticing this last night.
I'm staying in a hotel and in my room I get 60% signal with my laptop, however on my phone it shows 10% signal and intermittently drops out
anyone else having issues with poor wifi signal?

Never had a problem with intermittent WiFi, would update your firmware.

Wifi Calling disconnects sometimes..

I've noticed this alot lately. It seems like my wifi calling will disconnect by itself and then reconnect a couple of seconds later. The wifi itself does not shut off, just the wifi calling part. I think it happens when I unlock the phone and sometimes the blue wifi calling icon disappears and the comes back about 15 seconds later. Its weird but it also causes me to miss some calls. Doesnt really do it while on calls though
Is this a bug or can something be causing it? I have wifi set not to sleep at all.
Running stock

I had that problem with my dlink dir-655 router.. disabled wish sessions and the problem all but went away. Still happens once in a while (maybe once every few days).

Experienced the same..
I also get sometime broken voice while on the WiFi call

Just had this happen to me today. May be the router.
Maybe somebody with a non-TDJ rom can chime in and report if this happens to theirs.

I believe the Gal II was still using Kineto? If so my Dlink router was giving me similar issues until I made following changes:
1) Change mixed mode to either G or N (that cleared up my "breaking up" issues and wifi-calling is now clear).
2) In security, wifi calling stopped "dropping" when I changed to WPA with TKIP Cipher (also reported by others as a fix). You may want to try different configurations.

Mine has done this on stock GB, stock ICS, Darkside, and JMT roms. Im using a Cisco E4200 router.

What do you mean TKIP Cipher? Right now I have WPA personal running, but it does not give me that option. If I switch to WPA2 personal, all it shows is AES, Or TKIP or AES

[Q] Strange WiFi connection issue

This is a strange issue that I have not seen before. I was starting to have issues with my phone connecting to the wifi at the house. I decided to flash a clean rom today and hopefully that would fix the issue. I did a clean install and now my phone will only connect to the 5G band and not the 2.4GHz wifi band. I would like to connect to the 2.4ghz band but I get a message saying authentication error. I removed the connection and connected using the wps push button but when i do this it only sees the 5G. Any ideas what is going on and how I can correct it?

Do you see the same issue on the stock build ??
You are running what rom ??
Try the rooted stock build as a test. ..and if no change. ..reset the router and set up the connection on the device again. ..g

Have you tried turning off the power saver?
I suspect your router as the culprit but you can try going into the advance menu.
Hit *#0011#* hit menu then wifi menu.
I think you may even be able to choose the band? I think you can choose auto or manually pick 2.4 or 5ghz. Either way see if shutting off the power saver helps.

(Time And Relative Tarts In Space)

That is strange usally its the other way around...I have my dual band set up similar to yours..I named the 2.4 actually 2.4 and 5.0 same password..sometimes ill have to hit scan to show the 5ghz band...sounds stuiped..but make sure you click show password and make sure your entering rhe correct one..it may be so simple you may entered wrong password...or try changing the channel on the 2.4 ghz in rhe router setring to a different channel..mybe be a conflict..change it to channel 11..and reboot the router. ..

I have tried it on a stock rooted rom as well as CleanRom 3. Does the same. I have not tried a CM based rom to see if it only does it with the TW based rom's. I have checked the router and I don't see anything there that should cause the problem. I have 4 other android phones, and android tablet, and 1 iphone in the household and none of the others are having this issue. I have also noticed that it doesn't always say authentication error. Sometimes it says out of range even though I can be standing right beside the router. I am stumped.

Did you ever solve this? I'm having similar problem with my Note 2. I have a strong wifi signal incoming to the phone, but the transmission signal is very weak (verified using dd-wrt on the router and looking at client signal strength). My Note 2 has extremely poor strength.. ~10% where every other device on my network is ~50%. I've tried factory reset, turning off wifi power save mode.. not sure what else to try.

I am having a similar problem for the past couple months. My Note2 (ATT) with custom ROM won't connect to a 2.4 GHz wifi. No problem connecting to 5GHz wifi.
I saw an answer to this for a Sony Experia that the problem is with 802.11 mode and to change a file option gDotMode from 3 to either 1 or 2, but I haven't found a file with that option in it yet.

Same problem here, no 2.4 authentication unless the phone is very close to 2.4GHz AP.
Same problem here, no 2.4 authentication unless the phone is very close to 2.4GHz AP.
I have noticed that in some public networks i can connect with no trouble, (I guess now that they're 5.8GHz)
but not at home
Any solution? I am using a note 2 i317m with stock rom 4.3 from TELCEL mexico carrier

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

Wifi
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!?

Anyone else having WiFi randomly disconnect and reconnect?

I just got this phone yesterday and so far I just cannot get it to stay connected to my network. No other devices are having this problem. It basically just seems to constantly connect and disconnect from the wifi and also seems to constantly search for other connections as well. I've tried factory reset, cache clearing(which never works as it just red triangle error's me), reset the router, tried to change settings in phone itself but nothing seems to fix it and it's making it impossible to use at home. Anyone have any suggestions?

Same thing here. I went in and turned off all the wifi in battery power saving exclusions. Ain't been home long enough to try though.

I'm having this same issue! My prior daily (S9+) didn't have this issue, and my Pixel 2XL doesn't have this issue. I could be right next to the router and it still does this. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm at home, work, parents house, or a cafe, it still randomly loses connection. Same with my Gear S3. Just randomly loses connection. It's pretty annoying, and I hope they offer a software fix. Yes, I factory reset the phone and it still occurs.

I noticed this only with the 5 GHz band... I will contact LG about it today...

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. My router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on the same SSID. Last I'd heard, Android wouldn't connect to 5 GHz in that circumstance, and my G7 appears to continue that trend.
But it still disconnects from the network all the time.

Sadly I have the same issue. I have different SSID for 2.4 and 5Ghz band, and as devil_tear says it's fails only with the 5ghz band. I did a factory reset but issue stills there.
Did you found a fix for this issue?

Had the same problem. Solved by enabling wifi on the battery saving power exclusions in the battery menu.

Thanks a lot for this tip.

Had the same problem, was burning through my 4G data at a rate much faster than on my Google Pixel.
So far, adding wifi to the power saving exclusion has seemed to fix the issue. Thank you!
PS: Does any else find the wifi signal on this phone is weak?

Great suggestion

Tried the suggestion here for adding WiFi to exclusion. WiFi on 5ghz still disconnects and reconnects every few seconds. Only way to keep it connected is putting it on 2.4ghz.
Tried the suggestion with reboots, factory reset, adding WiFi to exclusion and then connecting to the network. My g7 will just not work with it.

Have seen this also, in my case it happens when I am a bit far from the router, it may be the router not having a strong stable connection so the phone see it doesn't have internet. In the points I experience that I have a 5Ghz connection of 0-2Mb but I have maybe 2 bars of connection. Share your opinions to try to understand the problems.

For me I would say it happens more if I have 2-3 bars but nonetheless it happens even 3ft away from the router eventually. what's odd is my note 5 stays connected, my computer, and other phone stay connected on the 5ghz band. All these devices are in the same location so I'm pretty dumbfounded especially considering this is a newer phone than the note 5 lol. I hope it can be fixed with an ota update

I have the same issues. I sent back the first phone for a replacement thinking it was the issue. When the second phone arrived it was working perfectly and then it happened again.
I noticed this happened after I took whatever software update was offered. I went as far to switch providers with different equipment (fibe to cable) but same result.
Made specific 2.4ghz SSID for LG G7 and no issues.

I've never seen this happen. And my laptop and LG are using the same 5 ghz signal.
I think I remember the G6 doing this though

Just came back from my dad's house and I know it's a short test, however he has an Archer a7 connected after his dedicated provided box. I wonder if that can fix the issue?

I have the same issue.
it connects to 2.4Ghz networks fine but the range is very limited when I move to another room wifi reception decreases a lot. However my wife`s S9+ and my oneplus 6 works fine.
Main problem is when I connect to 5Ghz network it starts disconnecting and reception is even worse than 2.4Ghz. S9 and Oneplus connection is still fine at 5Ghz
I tried to change the 5ghz channels on the router but no luck and I exclude the WIFI from battery saving apps still didn`t work.
I have to use 2.4Ghz and the reception is not as good as other phones

Wifi seems stable for me, except wifi calling. That would crash at connection or even mid-call sometimes. I'd have to reboot to make or receive another call. Some sort of server error. Turned off wifi calling and no issues yet. Didn't notice Ed it anyway since 4g is really strong here.

After the newest update on my phone, taken today Oct 4th, 2018/my random WiFi disconnects haven't been happening at all on 5ghz. Also, the signal is about 3 bars larger now in the same location it used to be dropping out constantly. Hopefully it stays this way.

I was coming in to report something similar. I've got the US T-Mo version and just got the G710TM10K update yesterday.
WiFi stability has massively improved. Disconnects are almost completely nonexistent now. I haven't noticed that the signal bar is behaving any differently, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The update was fairly large (over 400 MB), so I could see new firmware playing a role.
Could anyone still on G710TM10G post their data from Software Info to check if the baseband has been updated? Here's mine from 10K:
