I am a user of a Nexus 7 32GB wifi version.
I have been using it with my home wifi (Asus RT-N16) for several months and it worked pretty well.
However, I cannot browse any website suddenly today although the connection is good.
What's wrong with it?

Hi,
I'm an Android user for more than a year now and ever since I have the Galaxy Nexus the tethering is been giving me headaches. it seems to connect to my laptop but after a while it just stops to work. I can't browse any site or download anything from my laptop but this does seem to work on the Nexus.
I've resetted the phone to factory settings but this didn't solve it. I've also noticed that disconnecting and reconnecting to the wifi tethering helps even though I do have connectivity problems sometimes.
is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
I'm on the UK 3 network and the Nexus is not rooted and the unbranded version.
before the galaxy nexus I was using the HTC Desire (rooted etc) but never had the same weird disconnecting issue..
I have not tried it yet

Yes, having the same issues here as we speak. All the issues and fixes above I am experiencing. I'm from Australia on the Optus network.
I put my sim into a Huawei E585 and had no issue whatsoever, so seems to definitely be a phone issue....hopefully a software issue which will be fixed soon as I its extremely annoying as you know!
I'm awaiting the 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 update now, this seems to solve several issues and they also mentioned tethering in it. let's just wait it out now
I haven't received any update on the Galaxy Nexus yet, still running 4.0.1, can anyone please verify if they are having issues running ICS 4.0.2 or newer on their handsets while tethering?
I wonder if the networks have found a way to remotely block tethering access? I say this because I have an HTC Desire on Orange which will no longer load anything when using Wi-Fi tethering.
My Galaxy Nexus is fine though. I'm on the One Plan with Three which includes unlimited data and tethering (says so in the small print of the contract). I'd say contact Three if you're on the one plan and ask for their help.

Guess you didn't really properly read all messages,
I don't have any probs if I tether from my desire, I have an All you can eat data on Three,
the thing is it just stops working and I cannot ping my Nexus from my computer. according to the change log for the nexus they did say to fix some wifi issues etc with updates..
So which version are you running???
I am running 4.0.2, Samsung galaxy nexus, and tehering is not working. Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Temporary solution: (Click thanks! )
Google knows about the ICS tethering problem and this is their temporary solution.

You must "allow" you computer after you've connected to the hotspot. See this thread for more.
I am experience the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus, it's currently running 4.0.2 and Baseband I9250UGLA4.
my solution to the issue at the moment it's using USB tethering.
I suggest PdaNet, you can find it at Google Play and it's free =)
i am not using the stock wifi tethering feature on ICS instead i'm using FoxFi and at times the timeout issue will show up but if i restart the hotpot a few times, it seems to be working fine again...
i'm not sure if i am any good help to anyone but that's my experience...
FWIW, I have not had any issue with this. I tried tethering for the first time the other day with my Wi-Fi-only tablet for an hour and it Just Worked.
Hi
I just got my galaxy nexus 3 weeks ago. Everything went well untill 2 days ago.
Randomly and since yesterday permanently, my wifi isn't working properly.
I haven't changed any settings. Our laptop works great on wifi and this is why I tought there would maybe be a problem with my galaxy nexus device.
Under normal circomstances the "wifi bars" are blue. Now they are gray and internet isn't working.
(2 weeks ago I did a switch from yakjuxw to yakju. Everything worked properly)
I provide you with some screenshots of my device.
(As you can see I'm connected to wifi)
What do you reckon the problem could be?
Thanks
(ps: posted this with the laptop connected to wifi right now)
I'm experiencing some strange issues as well. I haven't nailed anything down, but it seems I'm having data problems (both wi-fi and vzw data) when I'm in a low signal area (my house) around -100dbm. Phone and text seem to work fine, but it's a little strange that the wi-fi would drop out too. During this time my wi-fi and signal meter are gray. If I restart the phone, everything seems to work again. The last restart was 12 hours ago and the signal is still "blue" now, but I know at some point it will "gray out" again. I do not experience this problem at work, and both wi-fi and signal meters are blue.
This is kind of a big deal for me because I rely on my phone for email notifications and I come to find after the fact I have several emails and never received the notifications on my phone.
Looking around the web, it seems others are experiencing various signal issues as well, but no one has any solutions and I'm not even sure if the issues I've seen are related.
Yes very strange indeed. I tried turning my phone off and on again but the wifi signal meter is stil gray.
I remember my brother buying a HTC sensation last week. He had a gray wifi signal meter from the beginning. Luckely he could attach his HTC to the pc and download updates wich fixed the wifi signal problem.
No updates for us yet. I wonder if they will fix this in 4.0.3 and if they even know about this issue...
I'm now at another place with wifi acces and it seems to work Here... maybe it is a compatibility problem with the router? I bet that when I go back to my place the wifi signal meter Will be gray again...
How to make it work properly?

My wifi goes to sleep every time the phone goes to sleep, despite having it set to always on. Also signal is poor. Where my iPhone 4 has full or 4 out of 5 bars, the GNex only has 1 or 2 bars.
I´m having these problems too... my other devices work fine everywhere in my house, but gnex doesn´t... it gets a very bad signal. I´m on 4.0.1 (OTA update hasn´t arrived to my phone yet... whyyyy!?).

You might have a yakjuxw or other yakju-- built instead of a yakju? I THINK (not sure) that they receive updates slower. I think they go via samsung or other carries.
Anyway I'm now at 4.0.2 and tbh I much more prefer 4.0.1. Since i got to 4.0.2 my phone seems a bit slower.
All of a sudden my gray wifi signal meter turned blue (after 2 days being gray). I can now even connect to ANOTHER network that I was never able to connect too ...
I think this problem is very much related to the phone/phone's software. I didn't change any settings nor apps...
From looking around the web, KitKat came with several bugs. WiFi is among them, where it either won't detect a signal, only detect it momentarily, or detect it and refuse to maintain a connection. For me, it works perfectly fine on my home router but not at relatives' houses, and especially at school. A couple more points:
1. My previous tablet was the iPad 3, which never had such issues. My classmates who currently have iPads and iPhones don't have issues at the moment as well, so to me its not the school's network, especially since the issue is with most wireless signals I encounter.
2. My Galaxy S5 has the same exact issue (and my main motivation for switching to the Tab S was the compatibility between the two devices).
I have rooted both devices. I have switched to ThunderRom on the Tab S while I haven't changed the OS on the S5. Has anybody else encountered the same issue and does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance.

Strange: no probs at all with WiFi (working perfect in the 5GHz-band)
The WiFi is a beast! The best of the best! Well, that I've ever owned lol.
I got the 5.1 OTA on my nexus 7 and a few days later I was trying to use it and wifi wasn't working. I disconnected and reconnected and it still wasn't working. I checked my phone (on the same wifi network) and it worked fine, so I power cycled the nexus 7 and wifi worked perfectly once it came back. Has anyone else seen this sort of problem (so far it is just the one time)?
The wifi works fine for a while and then just dies. The wifi icon is still in the statusbar but no matter what app I open that uses the internet connection, nothing will ever load and Whatsapp messages will not be sent. When I disable wifi and re-enable it, there's a ! next to the wifi signal bar stating there's no internet connection and of course, none of my internet dependant apps work still. I have to reboot my phone (shut it down and turn it back on; apparently they never thought of adding a restart option) to get my wifi to work properly again. This happened a few days ago as well and I really hope I don't have to reboot my phone every couple of days to get my wifi working. So any suggestions? (No suggestions that include flashing a custom ROM on it or rooting it!!) A factory reset won't help because I bought the phone with Android 6.0.1 already pre-installed. I have the security patch of july 2016 installed.
P.S. My 4g internet works fine.
How about giving rebooting the router a try.

I have a similar error.
That my Nexus partially can not access the Internet via wireless, to which it constantly changes between the wireless and mobile data.
Does this have to do with the "intelligent network change" setting, if so how can you turn off the setting, in marshmallow is this setting not available.
The trouble also occurs with other routers.

I did that the first time it happened since my router tends to freeze once in a while, even with the weekly schueduled reboot. But the thing is, my iPad still had internet while my Nexus didn't so it was definitely on the phone's end. I did a quick Google search and a plethora of other cases popped up so I knew I wasn't the only one. Apparently those wifi issues have been around ever since the update to 6.0.1 and the fact that Google did absolutely NOTHING to fix it those 9 months is just ridiculous!
Hi!
You've got the option to try the Android 7 (Nougat) Developer (now released: Preview 5) version.
Works fine and stable for me, and there is a slight chance that it will help with your problem.
Just join the: android.com/beta
And you can always roll back to your current Android version.
