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.

Hi, I am using Calkulin's 2 v1.6 ROM, with FE22 modem.
I noticed that WiFi on the phone keeps crashing, when I am trying to access internet via WiFi extender. When I am connecting via router no problems at all.
My friends also have E4GT, with stock EL29 firmware and modem, and they don't have any issues connecting over WiFi extender.
I tried other devices (iPhone 4S, iPod, laptops, netbook, etc.) those have no issues over WiFi extender either.
I tried just flashing the modem to EL29, FF02, FF18 and the results are the same as with FE22 (WiFi crashes and restarts on the phone).
Any remedy or anyone else having similar issues?
WiFi extender?? Are you talking about a repeater or an app?
I saw an app on the market claiming to 'extend' the wifi range of your phone. Obviously a bunch of bs. Hopefully that's not what you're talking about.

I have been on any number of roms/modems... In addition to my main one I have 3 routers flashed over to dd-wrt and used as repeaters throughout the house (yes, my wifi signal strength is EXCELLENT, EVERYWHERE!). I have never had any wifi connectivity problems nor have i seen this issue elsewhere on the forum before. Is it possible that a simple mistake is causing it, like a mistyped password saved as default?

What kind of wi-fi extender are you using? And is it possible that it's the wi-fi configuration that is causing the problem?
Reason for asking is I have seen odd behavior with my work network on occasion, but the configuration is correct.

I have the Diamond Multimedia WR300N WiFi Extender. The network is configured with WPA2 AES encryption (I tried using WPA & WEP as well).
Seems that only my E4GT has issues, like I said. My friends' pair of E4GTs with stock ROMs (EL29 and modem is also EL29) don't have any issues using my extender.

No mistakes for sure, as I get the IP address on the smartphone, get max strength indicator on the phone. Tried WiFi Analyzer, it shows connected, and no problems (verified MAC address of the extender).
Again, the only time I am having the problems are when connected to the WiFi extender.
Could it be that the hardware for the phone's WiFi is older than my friends'? I got the phone back in November, through Walmart's subsidiary (they had a much cheaper price). Could it be that the phone itself is of "early" releases, and may have earlier hardware that Samsung switched away from later on?
Basically, I am trying to figure out if it's a hardware issue, and if it is, I can try to get it fixed/exchanged via Samsung's 1-year warranty or through Sprint.

The driver changed with ICS so it could be a driver issue. It was a pain for me at work because I had to retweak my custom settings to get it to work again.
Here's a good test to verify: If your friends get the OTA and still can get on it's likely your phone. The only other thing you could try is the country code tweak in my wpa_supplicant.conf guide, which does seem to help sometimes.

Thanks for pointing it out. Just tried updating the wpa_supplicant.conf with ap_scan=2 and country=US. Saved it, tried to turn on WiFi radio, it wouldn't turn on. Tried restarting the phone, trying to enable WiFi radio, it won't come on. Finally deleted the file, was able to turn on the radio and OS basically rebuilt it, but of course without country code.
So, for this phone still no internet access via WiFi extender, but works like a charm with the router.

For your case you may just want to try adding the country and not the ap_scan=2.
I need that for the old RADIUS configurations at work and is known to be twitchy at times.

Hmm. That in itself shouldn't cause the wifi to fail on startup...
Can you please copy and paste your wpa_supplicant.conf information when you have time?
(Please remove any specific SSID, IDs and passwords though)
If you would feel more comfortable doing this by PM that's OK too.
Just have an odd feeling that there is something else at play here.

Ok, I went back to GB EL29 stock rooted, reflashed modem to EL29, same problem - no internet connectivity via WiFi extender.
Flashed FF18 Sfhub's OTA rooted (with FF18 modem), installed Agat's emmc recompiled kernel. Still no internet connectivity via WiFi extender.
Anything else that I can do/try, or should I just get on Sprint's/Samsung's case and try to get it replaced by either Sprint (although I don't have insurance plan) or go through Samsung's warranty (had the device for about 7 months)?
Thanks!

No MAC filtering. Tried with Static IP and DHCP...
WiFi works when connected to router, when I move to the WiFi extender, it hops on to WiFi extender, full bars, WiFi analyzer confirms the signal strength. IP address and the rest of the network settings are correct. but no internet connectivity on the phone.

Does the extender have a separate IP address or could it somehow be still trying to reach the router directly? You could try some ping tests to see how far that gets you, but if the repeater doesn't have a separate IP to route through I'm not sure it will get you anywhere.

The WiFi extender basically is an access point to the router. Its' DHCP is off, but the phone gets IP address from the router.
Again my friends' E4GTs don't have any issues getting to the internet via my extender.

Well if you're able to connect and obtain an IP address then I can't think of any reason why the traffic would not go through instead of a potential routing issue - at a hardware level it is communicating. Higher up in the process I could see a potential issue with routing if it is trying to route directly to the router and not through the extender.
I would try this test if you're wiling - enable DHCP on the extender, treat the extender as a subnet. This should require the repeater to get its IP address where you may be able to do a ping test and see where the traffic is being stalled. You could also try changing the SSID when contacting via the extender if it would allow. Honestly, any way for it to know more clearly which is which may help resolve your problem.

Thank you for providing assistance with this issue. I did the setup as you mentioned to no avail. Everything works fine as long as it's not in the repeater mode. Can't do a repeater configuration with a different SSID, though.
Also, tried turning the router off, and hooking up the extender via LAN cable to the cable modem, and configuring the WiFi extender as a "WiFi router". Everything was working again.
I came to the conclusion, that it's either the driver or the hardware, although the driver alone shouldn't be an issue, as I mentioned, we tested it with 2 other E4GTs on the same firmware & modem versions, and they didn't encounter any issues.
I went to Sprint store, paid $35 and should be getting a replacement phone under warranty shortly.
Will let you know how I make out.
Again thank you for all of your help!
Hello everyone,
since the 4.1.1 update my HOX is behaving weird on WiFi, the signal is always strong, so I doubt it is a hardware fault. But even though the signal is excelent, the throughput seems to be very limited most of the time. Restarting WiFi sometimes helps for a limited time, sometimes doesn't help.
I tried all options on my phone and it didn't help. Switched my WiFi to 5GHz only, also didn't help.
My device is stock on 4.1.1 with Hboot 1.39 and Relocked. I use an AVM Fritz Box 7270v3 as a router.
Anyone with the same expirience?
Regards
Let me guess! Software number 3.18.401.1 ?
On the road using my HOX
Since I updated, FoxFi/PDA Net+ stopped working.

I'm on a 3.19 based ROM atm. At home the situation improved a little. The throughput is poor, but at least a tiny bit of internet makes it through.
At a friends house, my HOX even manages to kill the WiFi throughput for other devices in the network until I restart the router.
For me setting a static i.p for my HOX seems to have improved the Wifi signal on JB. Maybe give that a try?

same for me, very stable connection.
Got a problem since this weekend, it won’t connect to my home wifi anymore.
It’s going in a loop of: Authenticating, Obtaining IP address, then it says poor wifi connection and starts again..
But the signal strength is excellent, I’m standing a few feet away from the router.
My other phone and tablet have no problem. And I didn’t change anything on my oneX that could explain this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try turning off 'Avoid Poor Connections' in Adnaced WiFi settings.....
There's no such setting.
I tried to setup a static IP address, phone then connects, but act like it's not (can't connect to any server,etc...)
I'll try to connect to another wifi somewhere and see if it does the same.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro
I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.
Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.
I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.
I bought a Poco F4 (global version, xiaomi.eu 14.0.5.0) about one month ago, I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever, save for the fact that it suddenly won't detect my 5ghz WiFi networks (my main router + a repeater) - and I'm not even sure if this is an issue with the phone itself.
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which was known to have this issue, but to have this happen on 2 different phones is really weird. If I recall correctly this issue started to affect me after I changed my ISP.
The only ways I have to detect the networks again is to go the debug mode and use the WiFi Sniffer Test Tool or reboot the phone, which was more or less the same thing I had to do on the S20 FE (I had to go turn on airplane mode try updating the firmware via debug mode).
What I've tried so far to solve this issue:
1. Changing the channel of the 5ghz WiFi
2. Changing the bandwith from 20/40/80 to 20/40
3. Setting "Use Device Mac" on the phone's network settings.
4. Turning off WiFi Scan Throttle
5. Changing the bandwith to 20
All of the above methods, save for the last one, did not work. And while it does work, it limits the speed of my internet to bellow 100mbps.
The issue is not related to the WiFi coverage as well since it only happened when I'm on my own room, which is where my router is located.
I don't know if I can detect other networks apart from my own since even when they 5ghz detection is working I can't find any of my neighbors' networks. I'm unable to create a 5ghz hotspot on my S20 FE or on my old Redmi Note 9S for some reason.
I'm at a loss on what to do, it happens on both stock and xiaomi.eu, at least and at most once per day.
If anyone else is facing the same issue or has any suggestion on what I should try next please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your input. I'll try to turn on my old router when the issue happens again. I find it odd that the issue affects both my main router and the one I use as a repeater, but everytime I made any slight change on the main router, the other one's signal almost immediately disappears to apply the changes as well, so it's probably that.

Thank you! I'm almost certain that the issue is that the bandwith isn't fixed at 80mhz, it's 20/40/80mhz, and when I had the bandwith set to 20mhz I didn't had the issue.

Have you tried resetting your router to the default settings? Or maybe set a specific IP address on your phone in your home network? As said above, it is a setup issue of your network most probably..
