Has anyone else had issues with the wireless on the Fire TV? Randomly my wifi connection drops out and I either have to reboot or attempt to connect to another access point and then connect back to my normal one. I have no problems on ethernet.
No problems on my Charter WiFi.
If you use the WiFi Adblocker app,make sure to force stop it after enabling the blocker because it causes random disconnects when left open.
What is your provider name/brand and what are the speeds?

No blocking apps installed. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection, the Fire TV just likes to randomly say "Connected with problems" on the WIFI screen. Everything else in my house is working fine.
Oh,that's what you meant.
I sometimes get that whenever I look at it,and it fixes itself a bit later.
I am unsure what the real problem is.

Yeah, it's quite annoying. After doing some googling it seemed like I wasn't the only one, but no solutions. I'm attempting to compile the latest version of the WIFI driver to see if that helps.
Any updates on this. My unit does this just about every time I use it. No other device on my network has any issue.

I was going to try a newer version of the wifi driver but never really got around to doing it. Once I start working on AOSP again I may look into compiling the latest version. But because recovery requires ethernet I just plugged it in to ethernet so it doesn't really bother me anymore.
My device is 100% stock. Should I contact Amazon about having a defective unit?
This thread is the only place I've seen where anyone else has this problem.

Did you notice if you light in the front was yellow at the time? I used a wired ethernet connection, but I have noticed at times I have managed to lose internet connection (while keeping local connection) and my light will be yellow and flashing when this happens.
Doesn't happen often (like 4 times so far) and not sure why, but I mess around with stuff a lot, so I didn't think much about it.

yes this has happened to me also a few times, but for me I just plug in Ethernet cable for a bit then unplug cable and wifi kicks right in and I'm good to go till the next time....dill
I have daily wifi drops... 50% of the time going to Settings/Networking and doing a rescan fixes it - 50% I must reboot the FTV. I have an ASUS AC68U with Merlin firmware and the signal strength is always "very good". I've tried both 2.4 & 5.0 GHz.
anyone have a fix for this?
thanks!
Same issue....any resolution ever found?

I have had my Amazon Fire TV since last Christmas and no issues until this last update was done. Now Wifi as well as Ethernet connections will drop and at first I thought it was Comcast and each time I logged into my account on my Samsung and ran the connection test, it was always fine, so I would retry FTV and it worked again. So I figured must have been a hickup. Well now it is doing it all the time so I am thinking it is the Fire TV unit. The light on front will blink Amber when the drops happen.
I recently got a fire stick. It has lost the WiFi connection twice, at which time the video I am watching is frozen to a blank screen with the circular "in progress" icon showing. I found that disconnecting and reconnecting the usb power plug into the fire stick gets it rebooted with the WiFi connection 're established. This seems to be a problem many fire s tick users encounter.
I had this problem too but after installing a wifi extender, the problem has subsided. I use a coredy WN300_EXT

On my Tab S 10.5 Wifi Only Model (T800), I am having some very very strange wifi issues....
It will randomly not access the internet (the wifi signal is still strong with the arrows pointing both ways but nothing will happen) No web sites will access eventhough more other devices can access everything just fine.... (Oneplus One, Laptop)
I have a DDWRT router and everything is set normally.... does anyone have any ideas?
Note: If i reset the tablet, the internet will work again... very very strange

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

So whenever I try and cast something to my TV, I am noticing that my phone will drop off my WiFi for a second, causing the cast to stop. Then it will reconnect to the WiFi showing the "Connects to ____" message on my screen. Its really annoying cuz it keeps happening every few minutes, can't really cast anything and watch it uninterrupted. This has happened only after Lollipop, and its not my router cuz my tablet and laptop can cast without any issues....
Anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

it happens to me same when using chromecast or direct miracast connection
i have observed this happens when the phone is working on 2.4 instead of 5 Ghz wireless connections it is something regarding the autoswitch between the 2 bands for wifi , other android devices kk or ll had the setting to force 5 or 2.4 as preferred band but not the note...
Well I hope this gets fixed or someone finds a fix for this. This didn't happen before I was on Lollipop.
Have not upgraded to lolipop, but does it still have the option to enable/disable smart network switching? Does disabling this option help with casting?
It has the option, I'll give it a try.

It seems that my AFTV2 can't refresh an IP on wired connection when it drops and comes back.
Every time I reflash my router and it reboots my AFTV2 loses the internet connection and not only does it not detect the router coming back up and refresh an IP address, there's no way to do it manually from the UI, at least I couldn't find it. I have to restart AFTV2 to pick up an IP again.
Anyone else has this issue or is it my device being defective?

Is the Fire TV directly attached to the router or does it connect through a switch? If the cable is never disconnected (since the switch is still on) it will not attempt to get a new IP.

Directly attached. All my other directly attached devices detect the disconnect/reconnect and refresh their IPs.

I'm having the same issue with 2 of my FTV 1's. I have had the units for 1.5 years now and never had an issue so I assume it has to do with a firmware update when the then FTV's came out.
I have been dealing with Amazon tech/escalated tech support for a little over 2 weeks now with not real answer.
Its worth noting that I have my router set up to restart at 3:00AM every day and the only way to clear the issue is restart the FTV. Once I do that it is fine until the next day.
I will keep you posted if I get a answer form Amazon, they are supposed to call me back again on Monday.
Wifi on my OnePlus 3 is very weak compared to my 1st gen Moto G . Audio is stuttering while playing through bluetooth . Already tried replacing the phone but the issue is still there . If anybody has a solution please do let me know . TIA
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.

Strange. Assigning a static IP shouldn't solve Wifi-connection problems...
But: thanks anyway.
had more issues with note 4 and Bluetooth than with this 1+3. I hope all signal problems are software related and not something related to antennas.

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.
