This is pretty strange so I thought I'd check here with people.
I got my new Sprint Note 2 today. When I was at home it connected to my wifi network and worked fine. When I got to work I connected it to our wifi network and the internet won't work. If I turn off wifi internet comes back.
Here's the kicker, I have my old iPhone right next to it connected to the work wifi network and it is connected fine to the internet. This is definitely going through wifi as I no longer have a data plan on that phone.
I checked with our IT admin who said that there is no need to "accept" a device on our wifi network. He also rebooted the network for good measure. After both phones lost the network (from the reboot) and reconnected the same thing happened. No internet from my Note but internet works fine on the iPhone. Restarting my Note doesn't fix the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I have the same problem. Need help too.

My network admin created a second wifi network to connect to (I guess our router supported it) and when I connected to the new one I got internet.
If it helps others try and solve the issue he tried pinging the IP address that my phone was using and said that he could only send information but not get anything back.

Try changing your wifi channel config in the router.
Hi, I've got the International version N7100 and experiencing weird wifi problem. I have tried to reset my wifi router and use static IP but it doesn't solve the problem. Btw, the problem is whenever I connect my Note 2 to wifi it would lose connection after a while then messes my router and connection of my PC to router as well. Never had this issue until I brought the Note 2 home a week ago. I had to restart my router and turn off my wifi on Note 2 for everything else to work. My iPad, iPhone and PC are all doing fine when Note 2's wifi is off.
I used to have terrible problems with my Virgin Superhub which all went away when I changed the security settings to WEP hexidecimal from WPA2-PSK (AES). Laptops and phones would have intermittent connections all the time which a reboot or channel change would sort out but only temporarily. Give it a whirl.

I've been experiencing the same problem. It's especially annoying when I try to download big size apps on Google Play ( > 1 gb) because it will stop any moment and i will have to re-download it over and over again. It never happens when I connect to school wifi but it just happens when I connect to my wifi at home. Weird. Nothing is wrong with my wifi at all because my other computer is always connected 24/7 without any problem.
I have a similar problem on Omega Ron v5.0 with latest Andrei kernel. The phone gets stuck sometimes in getting IP address part or have disconnects. It's annoying.

Afraid not.
I did that after other efforts failed but still have to go through same issue every now and then. This is not a permanent problem but something that occurs at least once a day for me.
Also having Wifi issues with GN2 from Sprint
I got the GN2 on it's release date (this past Thursday) through Sprint. Got it home got set up, connected...everything worked beautifully.
After a couple of hours, downloading apps etc. I noticed it had stalled. Turned off WiFI and used the network to finish. Turned back on WiFi and Voila, action again, but a few hours later it stalled.
I first made sure all of my settings were in agreement. No sleep mode or anything like that was enabled. No power saver either.
Couple hours goes by, WiFi connectivity stalls (even though it shows a full signal) I contacted TWC and made sure it wasn't the modem/router. I changed the wifi channel, tinked with the bandwidth... everything worked...an hour later it stalled. Called Sprint they said I had a dud, took it back, exchanged it, got the new one... SAME ISSUES. YEsterday I connected to my Church network HOPING it was an issue at home, but not so. After an hour on the network it stalled.
Contacted Samsung today and they have had no complaints according to them so i said I'm happy to be the first... If anyone finds a fix please let me know.
PD

Do you have any solution yet? I have the same issues with 2 different networks. I already contacted Samsung, but they only say I should do a reset of my device and read the setup instuctions for wifi. I'm still in contact with Samsung and hardly try to get a solution.
Stay tuned, I'll post any news I can get.

I'd prefer it to work with the stronger encryption of WPA2 rather than WEP.
OP: it will be great if you could add a poll to the thread as that way we can see whats the percentage of users are experiencing this issue,
Thanks

I had this issue with my S3, but never with the Note 2. What i did in that instance was reinstall the OS and that seemed to have fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

Same issue here. Connect wifi and I'm able to hold connection for as little as minutes at times. Turn back on 4G and I'm fine. If I re enable wifi straight after it works intermittently. This is true of both my home and office wifi. So I'm lead to believe it's the phone.
Hi,
Almost the same thing here. everytime I go out of my home and comeback the wifi network seems to work but no internet access. I have to stop and restart wifi then it works.
very strange issue. ok I have a work around but I'm going to open a ticket to Samsung.
Same issue - connects for about 30 seconds
I've tried on different routers. Other devices (iphone, ipad, S3, etc.) all work fine. Sees the wifi network. connects, then disconnects and TURNS OFF WIFI. I can't figure out how to go to service mode to see if this is a timer issue. I've tried on both G and N networks. using a verizon fios, actionteck router (and netgear). Also, will not remember the password credentials. tried router reboot and fidling, etc. Driving me nuts. any suggestions ???
I'm wondering if anybody else has encountered this problem, where the G Pro cannot connect to a hidden Wifi network that uses WPA security? I have an E980 on the stock AT&T ROM as well as having tried it on the Telcel ROM, and both have this problem. I add the hidden SSID manually, it tries to connect, but then gives back an authentication error. This is a workplace router, so I can't tamper with the settings, but everybody around me with iPhones and Samsung Galaxies have had no problems connecting to the router. My own iPod Touch and laptop also have no issues, it's just this G Pro that can't do it. My workplace was originally using hidden WEP, and the G Pro had no issues with that...but then they recently switched to hidden WPA.
I'm on AT&T's measly 300MB data plan sadly, so much as I had planned to keep this phone for a while, this is a serious enough issue to make me want to switch phones already.
I recently bought new note 10.1 2014 edition wifi only version. Out of the box it had troubles in detecting my home wifi network. I managed to fix by enabling and disabling wps connection settings from my ZYXEL wifi router. But the problem appeared again in a month with just one reset of the router. My galaxy S2 and S3 have no trouble finding my network so I don't understand why the tablet can't. Both the phones actually more networks than the tablet actually so it's not limited just for my own router. I really hate Samsung for this. I believe the issue is not about hardwarehere.
S2 is running on neatrom latest version. S3 is running on original firmware 4.1 from Samsung and is not rooted yet.
I have been running into similar wifi problems without a real solution. I've noticed it had helped a little too connect to a 2.4ghz network versus 5ghz. But that cuts out the new wireless ac band that this tablet wad suppose to work with.

After your suggestion I digged into the settings of the router. I could not find the option you mentioned but managed to get it working by changing to 802.11b+g+n to 802.11b+g. I am sure this was not a problem before but helped for now.
Anyone else with similar troubles..I wonder if only mine is buggy piece...
i just got the note 10.1 2014 edition wifi only version and i am having problems with the wifi i have a rooted phone which i use the hotspot and my wives phone is connected to the hotspot and my laptop i have no issues with it but just as soon as i connect my table the 4g signal cuts in and out all the time any ideas on what i problem could be
This is a problem with the Note 3 too... Samsung seem to screwed the wifi drivers badly. I found going to wifi, hitting settings again brought up an advanced menu and unticking "scanning always available" and "auto network switch" fixes it a bit...
Thanks for the information I will give it a try
Hi. Recently set up with a new wifi hub and phone, laptop and tablet (Note 10.1) all connected fine. Even more recently the signal gave up in certain parts of the house so a lot of settings were changed, including network name. Phone and laptop found them fine and have been working ok but tablet can't find the network at all. No way of downloading apps onto tablet and diagnosing the problem but save changing the settings again and risking the signal going back to rubbish in the top of the house, is there anything I can do to figure out the problem?
Sooo I've had my M8 for nearly a month now and I love the thing. However, I notice that I've been having some issues with the M8 not being able to detect or connect to my home and office's wifi. My laptop and my fiance's Nexus 5 can detect our home wifi network with full strength.
Interestingly, the closer I get to my router, the stronger the signal gets, but the moment I move maybe 20 feet away into another room, the wifi cuts out or gets very weak. I understand that distance is a factor, but I feel that my M8 should be able to connect to my router in the next room, especially when other devices can do so with no problem.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not always an issue. This only started happening recently - the only software upgrade that I did was the Verizon push that installed right out the box. I have not made any changes to my wifi network at home or work.
I've tried a couple of things with no resolution, including;
Resetting my router (power cycling)
Restarting my phone
Forgetting both wifi networks and manually re-adding them
Changing my wifi direct name
Turning on airplane mode, turning off my wifi, turning off airplane mode then turning on wifi (this was a suggested method for the M7 that I saw on another forum)
I did some Googling and didnt find much, so maybe I just have a lemon, but I did see that wifi connectivity was an issue with the M7.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm having the exact same problem getting over 20Mbps over Ethernet but then 0.25Mbps on my M8 over WiFi even when close to router
Have you guys played around with your routers settings?
What signal is your router on, wireless b,g,n,ac?
Is it throwing mixed frequency? (2.4ghz or 5ghz or both)
Go to WiFi settings in the phone, then advanced, then it will probably say "auto".
Try setting it on only 2.4ghz or only 5ghz see if that helps.

Tried that and my router is just b and g suppose upgrading to an n or ac router would sort it

This. Worked for me...and on my old Nexus 4. I think it is a KitKat thing.
Hello!
I have the strangest problem with my Huawei Mate SE and I'd be shocked if you've ever seen something like it. Up until 24 hours ago everything was working mostly perfectly. But now I'm having network issues, and these aren't ordinary networking issues.
I cannot connect to the internet with WiFi or my mobile network. BUT, there is one network that allows me to reach the internet, my home wifi network. I can connect to different networks, I can connect to 4g and 4g LTE, but I keep getting timeout errors going through those.
I've already factory reset my phone and I'm about to return this phone if it can't be fixed. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you!
