Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem which is very annoying and wanted to see if I was the only one here suffering from it.
When streaming something on the web my tab looses connection only to reconnect several times during the video. I have no similar problems with my laptop so I would say the router is alright. Anyone who faced similar problem and found a solution?
I stream a lot of stuff on my 10.1 - Netflix, hulu, stuff from the Internet, Amazon instant, etc. I have no problem at all.

Try rebooting the router. I just had trouble with WiFi constantly losing connection on my Pro 8.4. WiFi icon was showing it connected, but I was having trouble just loading webpages, much less streaming anything. It would work for a minute, than not the next.
I didn't suspect the router, as other devices were working fine with WiFi. But lo and behold, I rebooted the router, and all is fine again.

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I was going to try a newer version of the wifi driver but never really got around to doing it.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.

I saw some mentions of it elsewhere, but you can try and see what they say.

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
I got a Tab S 10.5 a few weeks ago as a replacement for my Nexus 10. Overall, I feel like the Tab S is head and shoulders above the Nexus - but I've had some strange issues. I've had the wifi signal intermittently stop responding - it seems to be more prevalent on my 5GHz network using 802.11ac speeds but I've experienced it at standard 2.4GHz connections as well.
I haven't rooted the tablet yet. I thought at first it might be my wireless network as I hadn't used any other devices that were 'ac' capable even though I have a pair of Netgear R6300V2 routers bridged across my home. However, these wifi signal dropouts persist only on the Tab S - if I turn wifi off, then back on, connectivity is restored. My Galaxy S4, Chromecast, PC, DVR, all stay online just fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? I got my Tab S with the Samsung Book Cover - which I love, but it almost seems like it happens when I hold the Tab a certain way.
Thanks for anyone who can give any feedback.

Did you connect your Tab S with your S4 through SideSync at one point?
Yes, I have used Sidesync. I disabled remote notifications, but occasionally still get a pop-up that remote notifications are enabled even if I haven't used sidesync in days.

I too suffered wifi drop-out and Bluetooth issues. Following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/heads-sidesync-bt-wi-fi-bug-t2828911) I realized that there is a problem with SideSync. Even when not connected it sitll tries to communicate with the tablet and affects the wireless components. I removed Sidesync from my Note II and clear the data from SideSync on the tablet and for the past week I have not ahd any issue with Wifi or Bluetooth.
Thanks. Side Sync Sux.
Brilliant. Thanks. I was having a big problem with 2.4ghz wifi. I though there must have been some interference. 5g was fine. Tried chaining channel and all sorts. Would have thought it was my router but I have two with same prob just on 2.4ghz. It was happening to my phone and tablet, but then noticed only when the table was connected to wifi. Just disabled Side Sync and now the wifi is blazing.
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

Hi I recently purchased a Huawei watch and it's amazing so far. Though it might not have its all of its functionality with my iPhone 6 it's still pretty good and was decently priced. My issue with it so far is that my wifi connection seems to be interfered whenever I have my watch connected through Bluetooth. I have noticed this since my internet service returns when I turn off the Bluetooth. I have tried factory resetting it on multiple occasion. I even updated my phone and the watch through the wifi router. The phone itself shows that there's a connection but no internet service is actually going through the phone or watch. I've tried looking around but most issues seems to be Bluetooth dropping versus internet service. I hope this can help others that have the same issue.
I have same problem (( I dont know what to do. Is not possible to update my watch even surfing on the internet. Wifi signal is full, but no internet service. In settings is not available Wi-Fi settings. If bluetooth is turned off my internet service works good. (iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.3, Huawei Watch 1.4 (6.0.1)) What can I do please?
That is by design! Wi-Fi only works when it loses the Bluetooth connection. See this: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6207505?hl=en

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.

Are you just talking about the programming page of Netgear's routers? Netgear also has apps for that...

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.
