Own a Neo for about a week now.
After some personal testing and forum surfing, it seems that Arc and Neo have the same problem with WPA2 and the N standard.
Any WPA2 & N Protocoll connection will last for a few minutes, dropping after that (the wifi icon says is still connected, but no connectivity).
Forcing the router with WPA-only or WPA2-only did not solve.
Some users report WEP beeing functional, which is not acceptable. WEP and WPA are easly cracked and obsolet....
On the web we can find many many foruns reporting the same problem.
Gingerbread does not solve the problem on Neo (2.3.3)....
Some users reporting sucess after phone exchange (hardware problem ? )...
Workarrounds:
-- disable WAP and enable WEP (not recommended due to vulnerabilities)
-- disable 802.11N protocol, enabling only G on the router
Workarrounds that DO NOT work :
-- disable WMM on the router
-- disable auto-channel and force channel 7 our 11 on the router
-- config sleep time to never on Wifi settings
-- other software solutions, usually arround lock and sleep timer
It seems the driver needs some kind of patch....
I have an Arc that works perfectly on both my N standard routers (both Netgears) using WPA2, has done since the first firmware. I have not used any special settings or workarounds.
This sounds very similar to the issue that many current Nokia's suffer from where they struggle with certain brands of router. In some of those cases updating the routers firmware has solved the problem, in others it has not.
For me I only have issues with certain routers, including mine lol.
Simple solution for me was simply to assign the arc a static IP in my router config.

At home I use a DLink-615 (latest firmware) and tried it on a hotspot and with a SMC router. Same result...
I ran out of ideias..... except for a phone refund.....
Guess it's either a new phone or new router for you?
It would be interesting to find out exactly what causes the issue in certain routers with certain phones. Similar problems like this were effecting phones as far back as the N95.
It's a known problem affecting many Neo/Play/Arc users

New Firmware FINALLY fixes the problem!!!
For me it did not solve it ... I am running the latest update and I still notice disconnects.
It's weird though, since my SSH connection to the phone doesn't drop (I can still code in Putty), but every 5-10 minutes I see some of the software detecting a reconnect and attempting to update values / reconnect themselves.
Don't know if related, but my dmesg is littered with :
....

<6>[24859.437377] TISDIO: Asking TIWLAN to suspend

hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
My Samsung GT-N5110 was rooted and running just fine on 4.1.2. I accepted the 4.4.2 update from Samsung which resulted in the tablet becoming unrooted. i was able to re-root using the ODIN 3.09 and CF-Autoroot. I am not experiencing seriously bad WiFi connectivity. The device will connect and stay connected for 10-15 minutes. Then it will drop the connection and re-establish. I have checked all the obvious places... Oddly, the WiFI > Advanced Settings does not even show "Wifi Optimization" which many threads suggest I disable. I do not even see that option. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your devices issue. So I will have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!

OK, delete the Davlik Cache and remove your internet connection and reboot.
After rebooting attach to your wireless to connect cleanly.
I setup my wireless router for new devices, as my router is 6 years old and does not work well with power saving features in sending packets. Set DTIM to 5 and Beacon Interval to 90.
You can also adjust Fragmentation Threshold to 2306 and RTS to 2307
The last two are tweaks for faster downloading.

Thanks for the tips. My router is a high end D-Link Dual Band router. But here is the real kicker... the device was working flawlessly before the Samsung update to 4.4.2. I ended up installing the custom ROM by CivZ for Android 4.1.2 and the machine is back to working as it should without any drops. I would like to think Google does not break Android with updates... but we all know updates to any software poses the risk of introducing issues. Anyway, thanks so much for responding. I truly appreciate this community.
For yours and everyone else's information, Samsung note 8.0 uses Broadcom wireless interfaces. They are notorious to have connect issues by their archecture. I have had issues with N channel Broadcom devices with my router as other are few routers that connect well with them without any configuration.
Note... My laptop has a old broadcom adapter that will connect three different ways depending on the drivers I use. Windows drivers will allow a connection that will slowly go from 132mbps down to 48mbps and fail to wake. A custom inf with Acer drivers will connect at 82mbps and stay. While the general broadcom driver will connect at 56kbps.
The tablet never connected higher than 72mbps with my settings, but that was to connect my HP printer which is even worse to connect to older routers. I'll never buy HP again. They have cheapend their jet direct home enabled printers to be so unfriendly with existing components. Plus they have a security flaw that will disable the printer when port sniffed on closed ports, let alone open ports that HP will not disclose upon.
I would think a different driver was used in the new kernel, thus your issues with connectivity.
If I were to pick again for a tablet, I'd look for one with Qualcomm, as they are more likely to not have connect issues. D-link is not that compatible, as there have been many instances with peeps not obtaining 300mbps with N channel broadcom interfaces.
You may check with the forums on compatibility issues.

Thanks. That is extremely useful info. If this were a computer running Windows or Linux I could easily swap the wireless adapter with one made by a different vendor, load the drivers for the new adapter and be good to go. Maybe it is just as easy on a tablet... but I have never done that. Is it possible for the end user to manipulate the hardware inside a tablet? Could I swap the wireless adapters? Could I even find them for sale?
Hello,
The title says it all. I tried adding a WIFI under the 802.1x EAP Security protocol however there is no option for it.
Has anyone else tried this with the Moto 360 and been successful ?
Thanks
I'm having the same issue, can't connect to works WiFi, seems a massive oversight to me as most corporate networks won't be supported.
same here...
Indeed; having access to eduroam at work, I noticed this disappointing omission also.
Yea I noticed that the first day after the update, I was very disappointed as that is where i would use that feature the most.
Luckily we don't use EAP at work, but it looks like it doesn't support encrypted management frames in WPA2 networks too.
At least I had to set it from optional to disabled to get my watch to connect to my wifi at work
there's an open issue here. add some comments

Same issue has existed with Chromecast since its release. Probably won't be fixed.
Hello!
So I've recently bought a TPLINK ARCHER D5 router to use for my home network, all devices (laptop, consoles, android tablet etc.) can connect to internet correctly on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi except my lumia 930, the weird thing is that my phone works with other routers, like the one I previously had or at work but not with the Archer D5.
At first, it displayed a "No internet connection" whenever i tried to connect to my wifi, i fixed that by reserving an ip address for my phone, changing dns to google's and enabling DMZ (dunno if it helps though). But sometime my phone randomly disconnects and shows "No internet connection" and even if it shows Connected, I still can't access the internet through the browser or any other application.
Tried rebooting the phone, updating the device to all sorts of available builds and removing wifi encryption but to no avail. please I need some help solving this issue!!!
Currently running build 14379 and experienced this issue on previous ones too (10586).
Thank you!

Try using only 2.4GHz and choose a channel between 1 and 11.
I tried disabling 5Ghz and keeping only 2.4Ghz on channel 1, doesn't change anything! Also removed encryption, disabled WPS and tried other encryption mode such as TKIP/AES/WEP still nothing.
Have you tried updating the router's firmware?

Yes updated it to the latest available version Archer D5(EU)_V2_160517 but the issue remains. My phone works just fine with other routers and my home router works fine with all the devices in my home ... it's kinda confusing.
I have an Mi TV 4A and RN5 pro. I have mobile network as a only data source. I want to cast my mobile to miracast supported Mi TV 4A without a WiFi network. Pls suggest which ROM or any method to cast the screen. Currently using liquid remix pie ROM.

Try using hotspot from your phone.

tried hotspot, not working. if i am connecting mobile and tv in same wifi then it is working.
Use someone else's phone to create a hotspot and try to connect to that device.
As I mentioned already I can connect from other wifi router or hotspot. But I want connect from my own mobile. is there any way to do?

Miracast doesnot need wifi network to cast. Theres direct connection b/w device & tv.
Its DLNA which works via wifi network.
So you should be able to screen cast directly to TV via miracast or wireless display feature.
In MIUI, its in Wireless & Networks->More->Wireless Display
1. Have miracast/widi enabled in TV settings
2. Switch on Wireless Display setting in RNP5, your TV will appear on screen
2. Select it & accept connection request in devices, RNP5 & TV
3. Wait for direct connection between TV & RNP5
4. RNP5 screen is mirrored on TV
(Tested in LG LA6200 Smart TV, works this way without any 3rd device or wifi router)
which custom rom supporting this feature? i dont want to use miui.

I havent tried custom roms on this device.
But this is generic feature & must be present in LineageOS/AOSP based roms. Please check in your rom's display settings.
I have used it on RR in redmi1s (hardware limited), LinOS in Motog2 etc
Some device manufacturers disable this option, due hardware limitations. But custom roms will have it.
Its available with name Cast, in Display settings (generally last option) or QS tile (check hidden tiles)
1. Settings->Display->Cast (in QS cast->go to more settings)
2. Cast Settings (3 dots)->Enable wireless display
3. Wait for TV to be listed
4. Click & accept connection
5. Voila, its done....
I did exactly same procedure. But it not detected unless i have connected in third party wireless network.
I always use this feature with my LG tv (same way as above), have tried it with Redmi1s (custom rom, display->cast), Motog2 (custom rom, display->cast), and redmi note 5 pro (MIUI, wireless & networks-> more->wireless display). Always worked well.
Just a note, it may take time & multiple attempts before listing & proper connection, & distance between TV & mobile shoule be less, else issues crop in.
That listing of TV via 3rd party wifi network, it may be working under DLNA & not miracast.
P.S. In RNP5 pro, as i checked it, even with miracast based cast, when you switch it on, it will first switch on your wifi before making connection. But it need not connect to any wifi network.
May be its like, cast feature in current version is open to both, DLNA & Miracast, thats why it switches on wifi to check whatever method it finds to connect to TV. & by default it goes to DLNA. In old Redmi 1s, cast feature doesnt enable wifi to make connection unlike current RNP5 pro.
So try switching off wifi device & attempt connection. As wifi access point may be saved & gets auto connected, when cast feature attempts to switch on wifi. Be near to TV while attempting miracast mirroring.
Thanks I have switched to Havoc OS based on 8.1. Screen cast works fine here. May be this feature absent in pie based ROMs.
