how to clear the cache on WIFI settings? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

it was working fine up until a couple days ago, then i installed that netgear aircard app and it somehow messed up my connection to that aircard? ive uniinstalled that app
hi, im suddenly having trouble connecting to my wifi HOT spot aircard ...all my other devices can connect to it fine so im positive the problem is with this nexus 7 FHD
it will connect but then after few seconds autodisconnect...must have tried this 100 times it keeps doing this :
connect OK,,, 2 seconds later, DISCONNECT , ive tried rebooting nexus 7, same thing happens
is there a way to RESET all the wifi cache on the nexus FHD? similar to how to wipe data on any apps in apps settings? thanks
my nexus 7 connects FINE to my home wifi, no issues there but just to the aircard hotspot it won't connect and stay connected
im rooted using elemental X kernel , old version, and running KK 4.4.2 still

The only two things that I can think of to suggest would be to go into wifi settings and have it "Forget" that network then reconnect. If that doesn't work maybe fastboot flash the system image. I don't know which system files would relate to your problem, probably something inside the etc/wifi folder, just guessing.

ended up, changing my aircards wifi security from WPA/WPA2 PSK to WPA AES or something and that did the trick... my nex7 was able to connect and STAY connected
maybe its finicky about what encrytpion witi security it can connect to

That's weird! I've always used WPA/WPA2 PSK with no issues even for tethering to my N5 or One X and I've done a lot of tethering over the last couple of years. Glad you got it sorted out!

WIFI Data freezes and locks up my router

Hi All,
I have a D-Link DSL-2740BR N 300 modem router. When I connect my HOX to it's Wifi I get data for about 10 seconds and then it totally locks up. I still have a connection and good signal, but no data come up or down. If I now leave it connected after about 10 minutes all wifi data on my router stops working so no other devices can use it. As soon as I disconnect my HOX from the wifi data returns to all other devices!
I have set the channel so it's not on automatic selection and I have given my HOX a specific DHCP lease, other than that I can't seem to change any other settings on my router that I can see would influence this.
Does anyone have ANY hints coz I don't feel like forking out for a new router and this is just ridiculous!
Thanks in advance.
this happens at work, my hox connects to a linksys wag120n, which is acting as a wap, its connected to another netgear prosafe router.
sometimes, not always, when the hox disconnects, it stops the internet working for all connected devices, even if they aren't using the wireless router at all! then i have to reboot the wireless router, not the other one, to make everything work again.
it doesn't do this at home, it's weird, i've tried playing around with the router settings but no difference... really annoying problem
Did you try to chane WPA to WEP encryption method? It may help. I had the same kind of problem with my Zyxel router.

I haven't tried that. I have had issues with ROMs on my old phone (X10) that it couldn't connect to WPA, but I didn't even think that could be a problem as it does actually connect... It's worth a try I guess, but I think I'm gonna have to try buying a new router...
Cheers.

Yes it is a really annoying problem. I do know that it happened less often with the original ROM & Kernel, but who am I kidding? There's no way I'm going back from CM9!
ive tried a factory reset on the wireless router, will report back whether it helps or not.

Ahh! Thank you! That totally fixed it! I can't believe that could even be a problem... Do you think it's the phone side, or the router side that's having issues with WPA?
Thanks so much!
btw, a factory reset didn't help, however, i have changed my 'Network Mode' option to 'G-only' instead of 'Mixed'
so far, so good, it's been a day or two now, one x happily connecting and disconnecting as i go in and out of office, and the internet hasn't gone down yet!!
glad to hear you got yours working properly as well RaVe-N

[Q] WiFi connectivity issue

I have been using Note 2 N7100 running 4.1.1 for a week now but only a couple of days ago started experiencing WiFi connectivity issue at home. The problem I have is it would lose Internet connection and then disconnects from my wifi router. When I opened the wifi menu it says my router is not in range. Turned off wifi and then on again and it connected just fine. However, after a while I lose Internet connection again and then router connection as well. In addition, my PC and other mobile devices started having connection issues. So, I restart my router and everything seems to work normal again until I turn on wifi on my Note 2. The problem reoccured again until I decided to turn off wifi on my Note 2 and so far my wifi connection is stable. I did try to use static IP and for a moment it seemed to work fine yesterday but today it messed up again right after I got home and turned on wifi on my Note 2. I also reset my router to factory setting yesterday and I don't want to reset every day.
I remembered that I did a software update at work on my Note 2 two days ago but it's an update from Samsung. I forgot what the update was for. Is there any chance to undo this update just in case it caused the wifi problem but without having to root the phone?
try to add the ip and mac address of your note 2 into the router.

[Q] Wifi Tethering Multiple Devices - Limited Connectivty

Does anyone else have problems with wifi tethering? It seems to happen for me with any rom, currently though using JellySlim_FullPower [HSD Project 4].
My problem is I start the wifi tethering from my Xperia S, then on my Windows 7 PC I can connect no problem at all and usually it works fine - The problem then is if I try and connect to the same hotspot with another device at the same (Xperia T / Nexus 7 2013). Within minutes of more than one device been connected to my Xperia S wifi hotspot all the connections drop, then on Windows 7 I get the Limited Connectivity and yellow exclamation mark.
To keep it simple, wifi tethering seems to work when only one device is connected to the hotspot, but it seems having multiple devices connected causes the connection to lose internet.
Has anyone else experienced this, have a solution maybe? I am wondering if there is a setting to allow x amount of connections at once or something
Thanks.

The only thing I can do is connect phone to PC and use USB tethering for internet on PC, then to share with another device also use hotspot.
Again though, any more devices using the same hotspot drops all the connections. I cannot find a resolution.

Have you tryed with kitkat how tethering works?
Two months later and so many many wasted hours, looks like solution found! Luckyly by my self
Go to your pc wlan device properties and change from internet protocol verion propeties ip to automatic.
I hope this helps help someone else.
Strangely two other phone tethers ok even ip wasn´t automatic. Not sure when that setting was change. Or was it.

Wifi Prob with D-Link Router

I have D-Link DIR-605L (802.11n) router at home and everything was working fine. Suddenly since past few days, my N3N is not getting connected to wifi router properly. I have to disable and enable wifi on phone 4-5 times atleast and then it connects automatically. On the same router other android, iphone and windoes phones and laptops connects properly to same router.
I thought there is prob with my phone, but the same phone works properly in office. It connects and works with no issues on office wifi.
I have already tried below mentioned troubleshooting steps
- factory reset router and phone both
- tried various security settings (WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc)
- upgrading os on phone and router both
- enable 802.11g mode, mix mode etc.
What could be issue? and any way we can fix this.

I have tried all. Even without any security settings i face this issue.
My phone was with Samsung service center for 4 days and they said there is no WiFi issue at all. They are able to connect to other DLink routers with no issues. I also got my Dlink router checked, and all other devices are able to connect to my Wifi router with no issue... ant understand what could be the issue
Wow.. that's kinda strange..

[Q] WiFi permanently broken?

Hey guys,
My wifi seems to be completely broken as even after multiple factory resets, it still does not work. I have used the stock factory images from google to install 4.4.4 and even today installed 5.0.1. But still the wifi does not work.
The tablet is able to scan for networks and find my home router, but when I connect it stays stuck on "Saved" and won't connect further. A few months ago I was trying to spoof my mac address and it seemed to stop working after that, could that be the permanent cause?
What would you recommend? I am past the warranty period but got the tablet from sainsburys UK
Have you reset your router ? If not, cycle its power and then power up your tablet and try to connect. Sometimes some routers think a device is connected when it is not.

I really don't think it's router related as I have had two different routers over the time the WiFi has been broken (none of them work). Also I've tried connecting to my phone hotspot but still the same problems.
