Not sure if it is something on my end, but ever since the upgrade, which I did as a clean install, I have had issues with being "connected" but not going anywhere. I am connected to wifi, have an IP address, but nothing will load, then all of a sudden it starts working again. My laptop, my phone, etc have no problems during this time, so it doesn't appear that its my router or anything. I am using the 5ghz band on the Nexus and laptop and plan on testing to see if it does better on the 2.4ghz spectrum but it seems like it affects all my apps. I will be looking on Instagram and then pics stop loading, I open the browser, can't browse, type thing, so not app specific, but the entire time I show excellent signal strength, i'm maybe 10ft from the router, my work laptop is connected on VPN right next to me and doesn't drop out, again making me think it isn't my side, but more so something with the Nexus since 5.0 update.
Dude, Google.
I have this issue as well.
For general internet use and most apps it's not a problem as I only lose connection for ~10s before it reconnects but if I'm playing a game that requires a persistent internet connection it kicks me out at the most inopportune times...
I hope there's a fix soon, KitKat was flawless.

I have a N7100 and I am also having wifi connectivity issues
I read the old wifi connectivity thread but my issue doesn't seem to be the same.
.I have a broadband wifi router which I also use an iPad, win Xp laptop, HTC Wildfire S and Motorola defy through, all of which have been fine (using WEP encryption)
)Unfortunately the note II seems to connect but then doesn't access the Internet.
The phone's wifi page shows connection. It connects then receives and IP address but then the alert comes up that there is no Internet access. I also use fing which says that there is no wifi network.
I''ve downloaded the apps wifi manager and wifi analyser to try and get to the bottom of it but they both say I have good signal strength and are connected.
Wifi analyser showed there was a bit of crossover from another AP router next door so I changed the channel to give clear air between us. I then reconnected all the devices and they all work -apart from my new Note.
My question so are 1)is there any more i can do to fix it. 2)where should I look to find the logs which might let me diagnose it a bit better . I should add that sometimes it just works and can browse and download as normal, but most of the time it doesn't.
I started to have trouble connecting to wifis few days ago, it says that signal is very strong i even see full bars and it stops on "containing IP adress" and then shows up window that signal is poor and doesnt connect, but wifi is working my friend next to me was connected, its in a bar and like 2 weeks ago i was able to connect to that very same wifi, very disappointing, no clue what could be wrong
I am finding many instances where I am getting the cloud icon when I am at home. My watch has both of my access points set up. Sometimes I will get the cloud and I will be 10 feet away from an access point and within line of site while my phone is sitting even less than that from another access point and also in line of sight, and when I check the phone it is connected to wifi.
I thought being on the same LAN was supposed to be functionally equivalent to having a Bluetooth connection.
I have also noticed that the watch does not seem to automatically connect to wifi when it loses the BT connection even though I have it set to automatic in the settings.
I am not going to carry my phone all over the house like a goofball so that the watch works. Wifi capability was one of the things I was waiting for for this very reason. It makes the watch WAY more useful...but it actually has to work properly.

Have experienced the same. However, it may not be the watch problem and may be the Google cloud ☁ service.

Experiencing the same thing more and more often.
My phone (N6) is connected to either wifi or 4G; my watch connects to wif's as well. Nonetheless when disconnected from bluetooth it disconects completely (The Cloud thingy).
Why? I must be doing something wrong, Android Wear is new to me.
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
Unfortunately, I could not look at other routers out there that can do the problem. Mobile Net does not have any problems in the browser game is not over. My router: Asus RT-N18U
If I've done enough video to see how a browser such as Facebook stutters a bit when I scroll down to up.

I tested with other routers and interesting results. My router is not something I Komal. (ASUS RT-N18U) and before that there is a (Dasan H640GW GPON ONT) with the wifi Subscribe refused to join hand. However, the router can connect neighbors and there is not jettisoning it. (TP-Link) And I do not know that you are the drivers of the phone can be a hassle or do not want my my router? Or maybe I should try something Rom?
Any ideas? Or wait for the next system update now? Because it is quite annoying that I can not normally get on the net
How can I test my WiFi connection to see how clean it is? I don't mean how strong it is... it's strong as heck thanks to the app WiFi Analyzer.
Plus, I'm literally two feet from the WiFi router.
But ever since I switched from cable to fiber Internet, my cellphone has had WiFi issues. Not sure if Fiber is the reason but it was around that time.
I've configured the WiFi router for bridged-mode and am using my old WiFi router that worked great with my phone.
I've tried stock Android, Dirty Unicorns and Ressurection Remix and all three have the same issue even though I'm doing a full-format in between ROM.
Like, connecting to Messages for Web (Google Messages) on my PC, it refuses to authenticate with my phone if I'm on WiFI. But the moment I switch to Cellular, Messages for Web picks up my phone right away.
And Pandora will time out if I'm on WiFi. But if I switch to Cellular, it connects right away. And sometimes after switching back to WiFi it will keep playing.
But speed test apps are all getting me low ms ping and blazing fast download speeds on WiFi.
EDIT NEVERMIND
Hahah, I just realized there was a thin metal plate resting on top of the test WiFi router I implemented.
The metal plate was severely much of the WiFi signal. I never noticed it because the WiFi router was above eye level.
So, the AT&T Fiber WiFi router sucked but the test WiFi router is working fine after I removed the metal plate that someone left sitting on top of it.
I have similar issue, but not consistent. Wifi is connected, everything seems fine, but sometimes it stops responding as if wifi is connected but no internet. As I switch off wifi internet starts working immediately or I have to wait a few seconds and refresh whatever I was using(browser, whatsapp etc).
Like you I am using fiber and to make sure if it is router based, I switched from crappy Huawei to a bit better Xiaomi router. But issue still there.
But there is some improvement if I select a relatively empty channel on 2.4ghz or 5ghz(neighbors dose not know about 5ghz too much). 2.4Ghz there is always problem but 5Ghz seems better(range sucks yes) and I think problem is based on channels.
I switched to fiber long ago and cable was more smoother but cable modem or router was quality, here ISP's are using very bad routers based on low end Huawei or TP-Link.
