I'm really satisfied about defy's performances but there's something i can't figure out with WiFi connection. I'm currently using a netgear wireless-N router which works flawlessy with all the other devices, my defy instead is not able to stay connected for more than 10 seconds, keeping disconnecting and re-connecting to the router, continuosly. No way to use the browser or the market under Wi-Fi.
I'm also on a motorola's forum, there i found other people who experienced the same issue. Some of them say the problem is related to wireless-N routers and yes, it looks like defy works better with wireless-G routers (tested).
Btw, no problem with the 3G.
I was wondering if some of you, here in xda, got trouble with defy's WiFi.
FWIW, I use my defy with my linksys wrt54gl router with no issues whatsoever, so it very well may be the wireless n being the issue.
I'm using an access point (netgear) with wireless N and i'm connected to Wifi all the time. I've had this mobile for a week so i haven't noticed myself getting disconnected on skype...but it works fine with N
I see a wifi issue with my fritz.box as well. wifi is (and stays) connected, but no data is going through. I've found various tips like using static ip or using different channels, but in the end they didn't work for me.
so I rooted the defy and modified the tiwlan.ini where ht_enable was set from 1 to 0, which actually disables N, but gives me a reliable connection instead.
hth
thanks for your replies.
@trosenda
Most of the times it keep disconnecting but sometimes it stays connected but there's no flow of data, that is what happened to you.
I will try your method, disabling N (ht_enable set to 0) probably forces defy to go through G only.
thanks
I have a netgear wifi g and I have some trouble with defy which keep on disconnecting so I can't use the browser or the market...It's not related with wifi n because my router is only g but the problems are there...If you found a solution can you post a step by step explanation?
Solved I figured out defy don't like wifi n routers and protected ones. With a router that broadcasts on g channels with no protection (btw only mac adress control access) the defy works like a charm...hope this help others

Thanks.
Yes the problem is exactly what you said - defy doesn't like too much w-N and secured routers. Not all the people have this issue, however, it has been reported to Motorola through their forum. Let's wait for their answer, hopefully there could be a kind of fix.
I was having the same issue with my Belkin N (secured) in my house. But in two other buildings I have G routers w/o issues. So, I figured, just swap the N for a G, right? No. As soon as I tried either of the G routers in the house, same problem as with the N. So I put the Belkin back in the house and spent some time adjusting its three external antennae. Bingo! I now have as solid a connection with the N as with my two other G routers. Must have been interference. Phones? Applianaces? Sonos? BTW the only other thing I had with the same trouble was my PS3. Now, it's connected perfectly as well. Interference.
I'm online through my Linksys 610n router, haven't skipped a beat since I got the phone...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that turning of the n-standard on my router, going to b/g mixed (from b/g/n) worked great, no more disconnections. Before, is disconnected like all 20 seconds or so.
What worked for me:
My router is a netgear dgn1000 (a/b/g/n), i had WiFi issues for long time, i tried with the G mode only, tried all the possible configurations (both on phone and router), but nothing to do, disconnections every 10 seconds still going on.
Finally i got it working by following these three steps:
1) Update the router firmware (my router was updated to 1.1.00.41)
Then from your dgn1000 configuration page - 192.168.0.1 -
2) Go to "Wireless settings", switch to G mode
3) Go to "LAN Setup" and assign an address reservation to your defy (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
Note: I tried 2) and 3) before the firmware was updated, no success. So, if you have a dgn1000, first of all update the firmware.
Hope this can help
I don't lise connection but the signal is very weak with Wifi. 3g réception is inside on the other hand

I had the DGN1000 with firmware 1.1.00.35 and my Milestone 2 was connecting very well. Now, I have a DGN1000 with the 1.1.00.28 and my Milestone 2 doesn't connect at all: every 10 secs the connection is re-established with a new dhcp request.
Do you think I ONLY have to change my firmware? Or I have to change also the address reservation?
hi,

FLS-BR how you maneged to get defy with 16GB is it froms SD card
I can't get my Note II to connect to my Dlink DIR-655 running in N-Only mode. My Blackberry Torch would connect and my laptop has never had an issue either. I have not changed anything recently and have been using this router with it's current settings for over a year without issue. The N2 sees the wi-fi network but, fails to connect once the password is entered (password verified). I can connect to other G mode wi-fi routers just fine.
DIR-655
Firmware Version: 1.35NA
Hardware Version: A1/A2
802.11n - Only
40MHz
WPA2 + AES
Anybody else experiencing this problem?

Hi 09GraySilverBusa
I have a DIR-825 and I had almost the same problem with my note 2 but I kept getting the reauthorizing problem. I went to dlink and posted there and the thing that finally worked for me was to change from AES to TKIP.
I have my 2.4 ghz band set at n and g
Auto 20/40 mhz
Auto (WPA or WPA2)
5GHz band is set to n only with all the other settings the same.
Hope this helps

Thanks but, I suspect your Note II is connecting via G mode. Also running in N only mode I can't select TKIP instead of AES. I'll try posting in the D-Link forum.
Hi, I have some problems running my fire tv with 5GHz wifi. Sometimes it lose the 5GHz wifi and i have to restart my fire tv until it finds the signal again ( i have to restart 10 times or more to find the 5ghz signal again). I have tried different channels on the router, but no one seems to work.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the router as i have 6 different devices attached to the 5GHz wifi (on channel 48) and it works perfectly.
Sorry for my english i hope u understand.
Anyone ? im running the latest custom rom , but i have the same problem on stockrom.
Hello, I've a problem with my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Wifi.
Every now and then (usually 1h) my wifi disconnects from the wifi network and reconnects after about 30 seconds. I had the very same problem with my Nexus 7 2013 and I solved that problem by setting the frequency to 2.4 GHz only.
I tried to do the same with the Samsung tablet but the option is not present under Wi-Fi> advanced.
There's a way to do the same with the samsung tablet?
I'm on KitKat.. Lollipop will bring back that option?
Note:
- the tablet is NOT rooted
- I've no power on the router because I live in university's campus accommodations
- I saw in another post that this app might help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer&hl=en I would like to not use an app that doesn't explain how it does that kind of things (I use my tablet for work and I've some private data on it)
Hi.
Can anyone check if they can access dualband hotspot on thisfone running android 7 please ?
Mine can only start 2.4 and 5ghz mode but fails to start dualband mode .?
I can.. But ofcourse if I am connected to a 5ghz network and try to share it instead of sharing cellular it ofcourse forces 2.4ghz.. And vice versa.
