WLAN issues - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So suddenly my wlan has stopped working properly.
Half of the time it just won't load any pages, it's connected to the router though.
On all other devices it works fine.
Connectivity is full.

[Q] HTC EVO 4G WiFi locks up since FreshEvo 4.1.1.0

I have an HTC EVO 4G running FreshEvo 4.1.1.0
The WiFi was working fine without a hitch until recently. It seems that since I upgraded to FreshEvo 4.1.1.0 and updated the radios with the patch, that this is when the problem started.
Now, the WiFi connection "locks up" intermittently and I have to reboot my TrendNet TEW-633GR router so that the phone will connect to it again at least for awhile.
The symptoms are: The WiFi connection with my home router will be fine for awhile. Then, it will not work.
I still get an IP address from the router and the WiFi settings says it's connected. But the connection doesn't work until I reboot the router. But the router isn't really the problem because other phones and my laptop can connect to the router even if the HTC cannot.
To the best as I can tell, the WiFi connection on the HTC locks up when:
A) I run the Roku Remote Control app and something unexpected happens like the app does a force close. The Roku Remote app uses Telnet, I believe.
B) I'm connected by WiFi at home, then leave and the phone switches to 3G. When I come back home, the WiFi between my phone and my router is locked up. However, if I connect to WiFi at another location, it works fine at the other location. Also, I can still connect to my home router with WiFi from my laptop or another phone.
Does anyone have this problem too, or a solution?
Thanks

I would have a go at flashing an alternative radio ROM onto the EVO first. This should be pretty simple if you've already changed ROMs and have a custom recovery.

[Q] No wifi after reboot

I'm having problems with the Wifi on mein nexus.
After I reboot, I can't connect to my wifi. It detects the wifi, and during the Authentification the reception drops down to one bar. Thats all thats happening.
But after a few hours, Wifi is on and it works without any problems?!
I don't have any other devices to test the wifi, except my Online Radio, and that works fine!
EDIT:
Just remembered: My girlfriend has a SGSII (duh...)
Same problem there
My router is the Dlink DIR300
EDIT2: Now I got myself the Dlink DIR 652 and have the same problem.
It works for a few hours when I change the wifi Channel.

WiFi periodically disconnects

Every day or two, wifi stops working on my N7 (wifi version) running 4.4.4. This only started about a week ago. If I switch to another wifi connection, then switch back, or turn wifi off then back on, it works fine (for a while).
Wifi continues to work on all of my other devices, so I doubt it's the router.
Any idea?
Hi,
I've the same issue ! My wifi disconnect some times and it is not very quick ! Only 54Mb/s instead of 350Mb/s (that is what I have with my laptop).

Wifi loosing connectivity (H815)

This has been plaguing me for a while and it's making me hate this phone. I've also seen this issue pop around the internet so it's not just me.
What happens is the wifi stays connected to the router but has no connectivity (i've tried pinging the gateway when it happens, the connection is dead although it is listed in the router as connected). And it happens totally random, sometimes it works entire day, sometimes it happens every hour or worse. This seems to have gotten worse with MM. I used to be able to fix it with turning wifi off/on but now even reboot wont help (it connects to the router but immediately says no internet on wifi), i have to reset wifi on the router for it to start working. I have 2 other androids (kitkat, lolipop), an iphone 5, tablet with a hybrid OS, 2 laptops and a desktop on the wifi working without issues so that kinda rules out the router as the sole culprit (it's a Technicolor crap from my ISP that i can't change, i can only buy an additional AP but i have no idea it will help). Ofc, when the connectivity is lost, the phone is still connected to the wifi, hence doesn't switch to network and i stop receiving notifications, which is driving me insane (also a work phone).
I recently installed an app ("wifi connection manager", the app itself is fairly useless, half the stuff doesn't really work that well, and all the options are really things you can do manually) that has a background service that i thought would keep the connection alive. It worked for about a week and then all of a sudden it stopped. I've tries everything else, short of reflashing the phone.
So after ****ing around for the 1000th time, trying to figure it out i realized that turning the WMM off (router QoS) stops the connectivity issues. Problem with this solution is that my download rate over the wifi drops by half immediately (from 50mbit to 25) and after a while all the wifi connections start to deteriorate to the point where it becomes painfully slow. What's more puzzling however is that when i do turn it off, the G4 connects via 802.11g (and for some reason this makes the connection not lose connectivity). Other devices connect via 802.11n whether WMM is off or on (except the desktop, which has an old wifi card, also on 11g).
Sorry for the wall of text. This and the anticipation of a bootloop is making me seriously regret my purchase.
So my two questions are:
1. Is there a way for me to force the G4 to connect via 802.11g even when WMM is On ? It obviously chooses how to connect on it's own.
2. Given the history of events, is there a network guy somewhere here that could identify wth is going on ?
Thanks a lot for those that made it this far

WiFi errors on Elephone p8000. WiFi Connections stops although connected

If I Connect to my Router behind another Router.( Needed to be done because of reason's)
I can only connect to the internet for approximately 3 seconds. It starts loading shows me a page and stops.
Nothing works after this. Only disconnect reconnect. Static IP , disabling ipv6. Nothing seems to help.
Even creating a DMZ settings for this device in the router did not work.
It is a D-Link dir 615. And old beast and only here to bring my people some wifi. And even this one is behind an old Belkin from 200x
So I would love to fix this. Also even behind a openwrt router (behind a fritzbox) it seems not to work.
Ping still works. But websites don't load. Apps don't download. Etc....
