I'm having an issue where my WiFi connection drops. Tab still says connected but I get no throughput. All other wireless devices still work. I have to toggle the wifi on the tab on and off to reconnect. Router is an actiontec C1000A.
I've read other threads where people had similar issues and exchanged tablets for new ones only to have them do the same. Router is good, it works with all my other devices without issue. What good is a WiFi only tablet if the WiFi sucks eggs?

Well my wifi has been brilliant, the only issue I had was that although my wifi router was working with every other device and even my Note 10.1 it didnt want to play youtube videos on it. So I changed connection to my other broadband and it worked a treat so even though your router works with other devices it doesn't mean the tablet is faulty just that the router and tablet don't like each other.
Best way to try this is go to a friends house and try their connection or go to a coffee shop where they have free wifi and hopefully you will see wifi doesn't suck eggs lol. Anyways hope your problem gets sorted.

Are you just complaining or are you asking for help?............ If your asking for help please tell us if you are using 2.5 or 5ghz, b, g, n, ac, channel #. Many things can cause wifi issues and sometime a monitoring app from the play store like "Wifi analyzer" can help narrow down whats really going on.
Im asking for help by complaining. I'll get some more detailed info on my network and post it up later.
My modem/router was set to auto detect... I used wifi analyzer to set it to a less crowded fixed channel. I also turned off 802.11n. It had b, g and n simultaneously... Now it's just b and g. So that's 2.4 GHz? I don't have super Internet, so no real need for "n". I'll report back after I see if this changes anything. The security is WPA2-Personal...don't know if that has any effect. Any other ideas are appreciated.

I'm really satisfied about defy's performances but there's something i can't figure out with WiFi connection. I'm currently using a netgear wireless-N router which works flawlessy with all the other devices, my defy instead is not able to stay connected for more than 10 seconds, keeping disconnecting and re-connecting to the router, continuosly. No way to use the browser or the market under Wi-Fi.
I'm also on a motorola's forum, there i found other people who experienced the same issue. Some of them say the problem is related to wireless-N routers and yes, it looks like defy works better with wireless-G routers (tested).
Btw, no problem with the 3G.
I was wondering if some of you, here in xda, got trouble with defy's WiFi.
FWIW, I use my defy with my linksys wrt54gl router with no issues whatsoever, so it very well may be the wireless n being the issue.
I'm using an access point (netgear) with wireless N and i'm connected to Wifi all the time. I've had this mobile for a week so i haven't noticed myself getting disconnected on skype...but it works fine with N
I see a wifi issue with my fritz.box as well. wifi is (and stays) connected, but no data is going through. I've found various tips like using static ip or using different channels, but in the end they didn't work for me.
so I rooted the defy and modified the tiwlan.ini where ht_enable was set from 1 to 0, which actually disables N, but gives me a reliable connection instead.
hth
thanks for your replies.
@trosenda
Most of the times it keep disconnecting but sometimes it stays connected but there's no flow of data, that is what happened to you.
I will try your method, disabling N (ht_enable set to 0) probably forces defy to go through G only.
thanks
I have a netgear wifi g and I have some trouble with defy which keep on disconnecting so I can't use the browser or the market...It's not related with wifi n because my router is only g but the problems are there...If you found a solution can you post a step by step explanation?
Solved I figured out defy don't like wifi n routers and protected ones. With a router that broadcasts on g channels with no protection (btw only mac adress control access) the defy works like a charm...hope this help others

Yes the problem is exactly what you said - defy doesn't like too much w-N and secured routers. Not all the people have this issue, however, it has been reported to Motorola through their forum. Let's wait for their answer, hopefully there could be a kind of fix.
I was having the same issue with my Belkin N (secured) in my house. But in two other buildings I have G routers w/o issues. So, I figured, just swap the N for a G, right? No. As soon as I tried either of the G routers in the house, same problem as with the N. So I put the Belkin back in the house and spent some time adjusting its three external antennae. Bingo! I now have as solid a connection with the N as with my two other G routers. Must have been interference. Phones? Applianaces? Sonos? BTW the only other thing I had with the same trouble was my PS3. Now, it's connected perfectly as well. Interference.
I'm online through my Linksys 610n router, haven't skipped a beat since I got the phone...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that turning of the n-standard on my router, going to b/g mixed (from b/g/n) worked great, no more disconnections. Before, is disconnected like all 20 seconds or so.
What worked for me:
My router is a netgear dgn1000 (a/b/g/n), i had WiFi issues for long time, i tried with the G mode only, tried all the possible configurations (both on phone and router), but nothing to do, disconnections every 10 seconds still going on.
Finally i got it working by following these three steps:
1) Update the router firmware (my router was updated to 1.1.00.41)
Then from your dgn1000 configuration page - 192.168.0.1 -
2) Go to "Wireless settings", switch to G mode
3) Go to "LAN Setup" and assign an address reservation to your defy (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
Note: I tried 2) and 3) before the firmware was updated, no success. So, if you have a dgn1000, first of all update the firmware.
Hope this can help

I had the DGN1000 with firmware 1.1.00.35 and my Milestone 2 was connecting very well. Now, I have a DGN1000 with the 1.1.00.28 and my Milestone 2 doesn't connect at all: every 10 secs the connection is re-established with a new dhcp request.
Do you think I ONLY have to change my firmware? Or I have to change also the address reservation?
hi,
why my DEFY wifi N only connect at 65mbit ???? why not 150mbit???

cHi all.
I got my new htc one x week ago. The problem is everytime i connect out home wifi, it works for some tíme and then, after 40minutes approx, wifi goes down and cannot be reconnected not even by computer or other phones. I ides to connect via dads samsung ave and it worked without problems. Is there a way my htc one x could be doping something with router? We also had people here from the providers company and they.changed everything, changed the type of.router, antena etc, yet still after.connecting wifi it only works some tíme. Then blackout. And have to reset whole wifi router...
Thank you for your answers.

Got the same problem with my HOX. I'm using a d-link router DIR-615. For me the only solution was to switch from a/b/g/n to only g (the 2.4Ghz band). When connected to Wifi via N band, I must reset the router frequently. So try to switch your router to G band only (2.4). Many forum talk about this issue but it seems this is more related to Android OS itself. Some user tried other combination like DHCP or Static IP, different security level (wep, wpa, wpa2). Hope this helped! If you find a better solution please tell me, i wish i could use my router in the 5Ghz band.

This is a good idea:good:. find the channel with less trafic with wifi analyser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd and set your router to that channel.
I had the same problem on a netcomm router. I had to replace my router anyway, so I ended up getting a netgear router and the problem has completely stopped.
It works on both 2.4G & 5G bands without hassle since changing. It also works on my work router which is a linksys.
I think there must be some issues between the HOX and certain brands of routers.

The HOX isnt the only android device to experience this exact same issue (xperia x10,HTC Evo, HOX,Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, Xoom, Toshiba scribe, droid x) Maybe its related to some android builds or device's radios? Some pple are reporting this on many brands of router(Linksys,d-link, Sagemcom, cisco) but not all model of those brands and some of them reported that different settings resolved this issue (a/b/g/n to only g or b+g, AES to TKIP, wpa/wep or no security...). Its very strange and I hope someday they will find the cause of this HUGE problem. But for now Google and manufaturers are speaking like if this issue doesn't exist.
But i'm sure there is a way to solve this before replacing the router...

when i had weird router problems, basically my hox and only the hox caused the router to stop working completely for every device until rebooted, it even took out the other router that it was connected to.
my fix was changing the band thing as above. just try each setting and test each one

Sounds like your router doesn't like your tablet very much
If you are sure it's connected you can always try to ping google.com from that device and see if the packets go through.
Could it be possible that, at the time of using and having 'no internet' with a steady connection, you are standing in a wifi blind-spot or something?
If not, it's probably just a hickup in your wifi connection, but this could be soooo many things....
yeah its really hard to troubleshoot.
I tried uninstalling updates from that stupid Samsung Sidesync app and so far its seems to have fixed the problem.... though I don't have Bluetooth on at all.
I'm having same issues , I read somewhere its a KitKat bug

Do you mean the wifi reception is weak when you are away from the router or all the time ?

On WiFi I have the same issue also: where my previous OP2 was getting signal wih no problem, with this I'm getting it weak or none.
No issue regarding Blueooth.
I'm hoping to get an update soon (I read somewhere that 3.1.3 makes it better, so I hope the 3.1.4 bring that modification also)
Get new router.
I am also running 3.1.2 and I can confirm that wifi is much weaker than on all my nexus devices.
Haven't read anything about it getting better with 3.1.3. Sure it is not an hardware issues, do u have any sources reporting that?

You're right. This is the changelog of 3.1.3
* Camera HDR performance tuning
* Bluetooth and NFC connectivity improvements
* Bug fixes in general telephony
* Bug fixes in Google and OnePlus apps
While this one is for 3.1.4

I've had to issues with either, and I stream bluetooth everyday in my car.
I can't say I've had any Wifi issues but I've definitely had Bluetooth connectivity issues in my car. Question. There is already talk about update 3.1.4 coming out but I haven't even received 3.1.3 yet. Is this something that should be pushed to my phone or do you have to load the OTAs manually? Sorry if that sounds stupid. This is my first oneplus phone so I'm a little new to the experience
Bluetooth while using my phone is rubbish on my op3 caller's keep cutting in and out of the conversation getting on my nerves!!!!!
Bluetooth on my car is almost perfect... Wifi is bad in terms of weak signal.

3.1.3 is not official I think. U can download it as a custom rom without a problem. OP3 Lite is pretty good and debloated. Like stock but with less bloat.
I posted a similar WiFi issue in the one plus forums but no response so far. Maybe it's just me facing this issue:
There is definitely something wrong with OP3 or the ASUS router.
I am experiencing a strange issue with WiFi. The wireless router is about 45 feet away from my bedroom. I am able to use WiFi in my bedroom on my laptop, HTC M7, One Plus One, and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. However, when I use OP3 there, I am connected to WiFi (router) but it says there is no Internet connection. As I walk closer to the router, the problem goes away. Can someone please suggest a solution?
For now, this is how I have improved the situation:
However, here is the workaround.
1. Note down the MAC address of your phone. Settings->About Phone->Status- IP Address section shows a number separated by ":".
2. Login to your router as administrator. If you are using DHCP, the IP addresses are being assigned automatically by the router. This is where we will make a change. For the phone mac address, set the IP address as static (one way to get an IP address is to check what IP address is assigned to your phone when you are connected to WiFi). Note down this IP address and assign manually on the router to this MAC address.
3. Now, the last part. On your phone go to your WiFi network. Long press and modify. Choose Static IP address option. Assign the IP address you hard coded on the router for this device. Set the Gateway to the LAN IP address of the router. Set the DNS servers as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google servers). This should make things work.
put me down for bluetooth issues as well. It connects to my caddy then drops 1 min later.

You are right. This was not the solution that should have worked. But it is working for me most of the time. I think OP3 needs an update to fix the WiFi issue.
Bluetooth and Wifi Issues
I too am experiencing issues. First of all my wifi is significantly slower than on my OPO. It also gets worse reception than my OPO did. Bluetooth is a complete mess right now. My car radio will not play if I press the play button, and I have to go into the app to play music everytime. At my home wifi it stutters very often and it randomly stops playing. It will often stop playing a playlist when there is 3 seconds left in a song, yet it does not show paused. It just sits there. I can not tell if this is on OP or spotify's end, but it is really annoying me. It happens even when I am not on bluetooth. But the constant stuttering happens over bluetooth no matter the app.
I'm surprised to see this thread. I find the WiFi on my OP3 exceptional.
My moto x pure and laptop (razer blade) don't get WiFi in my bathroom but my OP3 gets full service.
Yeah for some reason I can't get past 2mb/s down on a 50mb connection. Works fine on everything else, even the upload reaches 10mb/s on the phone. This seriously is a huge problem. It even takes about a minute to obtain an up address after connecting to the network
Since I've purchased the note 10 +, I've had some wifi connection issues. The phone never stays connected, or will drop wifi frequently. Normally once a day. Now though, it is much more common, and it is for longer periods of time. I'll be casting something to my tv, and then the video will drop due to the phone trying to "reconnect" to the wifi. Has anyone else seen similar issues?
No issues here with WiFi. Do you have any other devices that exhibit this issue? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?
I've tried resetting the router, and doing a factory reset on the device. Also, I've tried it on another wifi network and it does it there as well. No other devices that I have on my wifi exhibit the same behaviour. I was hoping with a software update it would get better but it is getting worse.
Do you have a case on your phone?
Any settings made in advanced wifi settings?
Tried app like wifi analizer? Both to check the received wifi strength and also possible wifi congestion...
Are the problems only while casting to TV or also when streaming of Internet?
Did you try change in wifi settings in router, like extended lease time or assigning fixed ip-adresses to both TV and phone, change of wifi channel, switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

The wifi network is fine. Both in signal and congestion. The phone is set to be on the 5 ghz. And I've never had any issues with it on any other device. I lose signal frequently. I only used the casting example to help people understand what's happening.
Now there is a problem with many routers. Even expensive models may not solve the problem with an Internet connection. I also had problems connecting to wi-fi. The phone was disconnected from the router once every few days. I called the guys who connected the Internet to me, but they said that everything was fine on their part. They sent me a master, he looked, but could not do anything except how to change my router. A few days later, I realized that the problem was not solved and started Googling the problem on the Internet. I came across a forum where they advised me to enter this ip 192.168.1.1 and after a couple of manipulations, I was able to fix my problem.

How did entering your router's default IP address fix your issue? What changes did you make to your router's configuration?
Just saying that you entered that IP address and making a couple of manipulations doesn't help the OP.
