I got the 5.1 OTA on my nexus 7 and a few days later I was trying to use it and wifi wasn't working. I disconnected and reconnected and it still wasn't working. I checked my phone (on the same wifi network) and it worked fine, so I power cycled the nexus 7 and wifi worked perfectly once it came back. Has anyone else seen this sort of problem (so far it is just the one time)?

I got my Nexus yesterday and already noticed some problems with the wifi (before installing anything). When I turn on my wifi it works for some seconds, but when I start using it some more, my wifi stops working. I have to reset my wifi and it will work again for some seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I also have a HTC HD2 with android on it, and I haven't had any problems with the wifi on that device.
P.S. I already unchecked 'avoid poor connections'.
No problems for me, my GNex seems to connect faster than my Xoom or DX.
Hi
I just got my galaxy nexus 3 weeks ago. Everything went well untill 2 days ago.
Randomly and since yesterday permanently, my wifi isn't working properly.
I haven't changed any settings. Our laptop works great on wifi and this is why I tought there would maybe be a problem with my galaxy nexus device.
Under normal circomstances the "wifi bars" are blue. Now they are gray and internet isn't working.
(2 weeks ago I did a switch from yakjuxw to yakju. Everything worked properly)
I provide you with some screenshots of my device.
(As you can see I'm connected to wifi)
What do you reckon the problem could be?
Thanks
(ps: posted this with the laptop connected to wifi right now)
I'm experiencing some strange issues as well. I haven't nailed anything down, but it seems I'm having data problems (both wi-fi and vzw data) when I'm in a low signal area (my house) around -100dbm. Phone and text seem to work fine, but it's a little strange that the wi-fi would drop out too. During this time my wi-fi and signal meter are gray. If I restart the phone, everything seems to work again. The last restart was 12 hours ago and the signal is still "blue" now, but I know at some point it will "gray out" again. I do not experience this problem at work, and both wi-fi and signal meters are blue.
This is kind of a big deal for me because I rely on my phone for email notifications and I come to find after the fact I have several emails and never received the notifications on my phone.
Looking around the web, it seems others are experiencing various signal issues as well, but no one has any solutions and I'm not even sure if the issues I've seen are related.
Yes very strange indeed. I tried turning my phone off and on again but the wifi signal meter is stil gray.
I remember my brother buying a HTC sensation last week. He had a gray wifi signal meter from the beginning. Luckely he could attach his HTC to the pc and download updates wich fixed the wifi signal problem.
No updates for us yet. I wonder if they will fix this in 4.0.3 and if they even know about this issue...
I'm now at another place with wifi acces and it seems to work Here... maybe it is a compatibility problem with the router? I bet that when I go back to my place the wifi signal meter Will be gray again...
How to make it work properly?

My wifi goes to sleep every time the phone goes to sleep, despite having it set to always on. Also signal is poor. Where my iPhone 4 has full or 4 out of 5 bars, the GNex only has 1 or 2 bars.
I´m having these problems too... my other devices work fine everywhere in my house, but gnex doesn´t... it gets a very bad signal. I´m on 4.0.1 (OTA update hasn´t arrived to my phone yet... whyyyy!?).

You might have a yakjuxw or other yakju-- built instead of a yakju? I THINK (not sure) that they receive updates slower. I think they go via samsung or other carries.
Anyway I'm now at 4.0.2 and tbh I much more prefer 4.0.1. Since i got to 4.0.2 my phone seems a bit slower.
All of a sudden my gray wifi signal meter turned blue (after 2 days being gray). I can now even connect to ANOTHER network that I was never able to connect too ...
I think this problem is very much related to the phone/phone's software. I didn't change any settings nor apps...
I am a user of a Nexus 7 32GB wifi version.
I have been using it with my home wifi (Asus RT-N16) for several months and it worked pretty well.
However, I cannot browse any website suddenly today although the connection is good.
What's wrong with it?
The wifi works fine for a while and then just dies. The wifi icon is still in the statusbar but no matter what app I open that uses the internet connection, nothing will ever load and Whatsapp messages will not be sent. When I disable wifi and re-enable it, there's a ! next to the wifi signal bar stating there's no internet connection and of course, none of my internet dependant apps work still. I have to reboot my phone (shut it down and turn it back on; apparently they never thought of adding a restart option) to get my wifi to work properly again. This happened a few days ago as well and I really hope I don't have to reboot my phone every couple of days to get my wifi working. So any suggestions? (No suggestions that include flashing a custom ROM on it or rooting it!!) A factory reset won't help because I bought the phone with Android 6.0.1 already pre-installed. I have the security patch of july 2016 installed.
P.S. My 4g internet works fine.
How about giving rebooting the router a try.

I have a similar error.
That my Nexus partially can not access the Internet via wireless, to which it constantly changes between the wireless and mobile data.
Does this have to do with the "intelligent network change" setting, if so how can you turn off the setting, in marshmallow is this setting not available.
The trouble also occurs with other routers.

I did that the first time it happened since my router tends to freeze once in a while, even with the weekly schueduled reboot. But the thing is, my iPad still had internet while my Nexus didn't so it was definitely on the phone's end. I did a quick Google search and a plethora of other cases popped up so I knew I wasn't the only one. Apparently those wifi issues have been around ever since the update to 6.0.1 and the fact that Google did absolutely NOTHING to fix it those 9 months is just ridiculous!
Hi!
You've got the option to try the Android 7 (Nougat) Developer (now released: Preview 5) version.
Works fine and stable for me, and there is a slight chance that it will help with your problem.
Just join the: android.com/beta
And you can always roll back to your current Android version.
Anyone facing this issue
Does anyone know any fix
Yes mines the same, wifi works fine for a short amount of time then disconnects, after it cuts out goto wifi settings and all I see is scanning and no wifi devices. only way I can get wifi working again is a reboot but then I get disconnecting again after short period of time!
EDIT: I would just like to add until I updated to nougat yesterday I've never experienced this issue and I did a master reset straight after installing nougat.
I am having this same problem. Any fix for this?
Same thing here. It happened to me after the first night. I thought maybe something was corrupted after the upgrade, so I did a full factory reset yesterday morning. Everything worked fine until I got up this morning. Looks like something over the course of the night causes this to start.
Things I've tried without success:
- factory reset
- rebooting
- removing and re-adding wifi network
- tested all other devices in the house (no other device is having an issue)
- tried both 2.4 and 5ghz networks (issue is affecting both)
UPDATE: After a few hours, I turned wifi back on yesterday, and it's been working fine since. I made no changes to the phone.
Faced same problem with developer preview
Before the official release of Android 7.0 I installed two Android beta preview, 3 and 5, and had the same issue I uninstalled the previews and had no problems with version 6.1. I hoped that this would be fixed with the official version but It wasn't, Im still facing the same problems with wifi disconnecting.
Edit: When I had the previews the only way that the phone would seem to remain connected was to go into the router options and change the client lease time. I never fully tested this because I uninstalled the previews within a couple of days. I guess I'm going to have to test it this time.

Maybe this thread could help you guys, didn't try, and as it is for nexus 5, do every operation carefully.
Flashed back to 6 as the WiFi issue was unbearable, working perfectly fine again now. I was also getting major battery drain on 7.0.
Hi
I found a strange solution working for me. I had bluetooth disabled, since I have enabled bluetooth today, 5 GHz connection is stable - Pls test it and update. And pls don't ask me, why these two protocols are in any way related...

Didn't work for me.
This problem had disappeared for weeks and then started rearing its head again yesterday although I had made no changes to my phone. For the record, it's happening on both frequencies for me.
Last time, the issue magically disappeared. After it didn't go away over night, I restarted my router this morning, and now it's working fine.
To clarify, I don't think it's router related, though. I have an R7000 that's working perfectly with all other phones and other devices in the house. It's the same router the 5x was connected to before Nougat started causing these issues.
Apparantly 7.1 solves the issue
