I am on 6.0.1 stock rooted. Wifi was working fine but it would face occasional cutoff or drop i.e my wifi logo would disappear leaving only my mobile data on for approximately 15-20s, 3-4 times a day at random intervals.
I decided to forget both networks (2.4 and 5.0) and connect back both. Instead, I am getting a wifi authentication problem, unable to connect back at all.
-Passwords are correct, double checked it.
-Rebooted router
-Cleared cache from settings and dalvik/cache within twrp
-Did a google and realize it's a common problem, followed this linkhttps://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702#c78 post #78. Nothing's working still.
Help? I'm stuck on mobile data for now damm. My computer and other phones connect just fine to my router.

Have you tried simply power cycling your WiFi router?
I need your help everyone. My brother is using the Galaxy S II running ICS 4.0.1 that was bought along with my S III and it is acting up. GSII is running stock ICS, and still in stock configuration. Phone is not rooted or messed with in any manner. The phone connects and stays connected to the Home Network, but data transfer stops after few seconds. All the other devices at home (laptops, PC, other phones) stay connected and works fine. Home network is through Century link and wireless is through actiontec modem and wifi router - http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=264#.UOyOPB3aI7s). He has been using this phone with no problems with the same wireless network for almost 4 months and this issue started almost a month ago. I have no idea why it went wrong all of a sudden and not had any luck in finding a solution from all my research.
Problem: When WiFi is activated, it will connect to the home wireless network and will work for few seconds. As soon as background activity that requires data stops, the WiFi stops working. If I am browsing or a video is playing on Youtube, it will stay connected, but as soon as I exit out of the application that is pulling data, it stops working. I have to turn it off and back on again for it to work, but this issue repeats. From looking at the signal bars for WiFi, its full (I was sitting next the router) upload arrow blinks once in a while but noting on the download. None of the apps are connected to the network. Browser will show loading for a while and then displays no network connection message. I tried google play, youtube, third parts apps etc. to ensure its not just the browser. When I turn off the WiFi, the phone seams to download a bunch of messages and updates that was not being pulled for a while. My GSIII connects fine with the network and it works fine even after being idle for hours. I have no idea what is going on and would really appreciate any help. I am close to calling Samsung and T-mobile, but thought I will try here first as we all know how easy it is to deal with those guys.
Things I have tried so far: I have tried all of the following based on suggestions I read from other forums I found through google search.
1. Factory Reset the system: FAIL. After the reset was complete, I waited for everything to finish loading and then I connected to WiFi by inputting all the necessary details. Same results, will work for few seconds and stops.
2. Restart the Modem and Router: FAIL. I do not think it is modem or router related issue as my S III seams to connect and work fine.
3. Turn off the security for wireless network: FAIL. Same result as above.
4. Try different encryption: FAIL. Same result as above.
5. Forget the Network and redo: FAIL. Same result as above.
6. Change the IP address to Static in advanced settings for the network: Worked for a while and then this stopped too.
7. Change WiFi sleep policy: FAIL. Changed it to " When device sleeps", "Never" and "Always", does not make any difference.
8. Third party apps suggested by everyone: FAIL.
This is where I am at right now. I have tried to include all the information possible. Please ask me if any other information is needed.
Last resort ... try a warranty replacement.
Is the phone experiencing the same issues with other wireless networks (coffee shops, McD's)?

The issue was not with the phone, but with the router/modem. This was the century link modem with wifi and router from walmart that was bought for $99. Its an actiontech router with built in modem for century link. This does not work and dont bother purchasing it. I ended up buying the NETGEAR DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in DSL Modem from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UHMB5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) for a 30 dollars more, but it works. Only extra step was that i had to call century link for my username and password that needs to be entered during the setup procedure. The actiontech from walmart did this automatically (mainly because this was a century link branded product).
I have an MSMT-320 running Cyanogenmod 13.0 (13.0-20161219-NIGHTLY-mondrianwifi) and I've been having issues with connecting to wifi. It will cycle through disconnected > authenticating > obtaining ip address > connected, no internet > connected and then back to disconnected. It does so rather quickly, sometimes resetting at different points in the cycle. It's been doing this occasionally for several months, but recently it's been almost all the time.
At first, resetting my ATT modem/router would fix it. I was having other internet issues (speed, mostly) and had the modem/router replaced recently and that did not fix the problem. In fact, resetting it has no effect recently. I tried restarting the tablet and turning wifi on and off with no luck. When this started (with the old modem/router), I was able to connect fine at work or my parent's house. I haven't tried anywhere but home recently. However, no other devices on my home network were having this kind of issue with the old or new modem/router. When it did connect, it ran fine and I had no issues.
Today I decided to try a factory reset. As soon as it came up to connect to wifi, the same issues came back. In fact, I cannot even sign into my Google account. Either the wifi is lost, or it cannot reach the Google servers or it just says an error occurred. I've even gotten an authentication notice on my phone from Google, but it still throws an error and fails.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
In the last 6 months or so I have been experiencing frequent wifi issues, regardless of the custom ROM I'm using. Usually some time after a new installation I am unable to connect to the networks I normally use (my home network and the one at work which uses a proxy server). No matter what I do (clear cache, factory reset, change ROM...) the problem persists. In settings a number of random messages are given: secured, disabled, authentication problem, etc. Every now and then I can get a connection (never at work though) but it doesn't last long. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I hope it isn't hardware failure since I'm still enjoyng this tablet after all these years!
Mine started having wifi issues off and on a couple of weeks ago. The wifi started to not turn back on after waking it up, at first just in manually turning it off and then back on seemed to work. Last Friday it just wouldn't stay on at all. I would go to the wifi in settings, it sometimes would get stuck saying turning on. I finally did a factory reset on it, it at first seemed to fix the problem, even spent a couple of hours trying to get everything set back up. Then the problem returned, it just keeps turning the wifi off, if i can even get it to turn on at all. I was going to try and use my phone as a hotspot through Bluetooth (not sure if i can or jot, never tried before), but even the Bluetooth won't stay on. So Sunday, after spending way to many hours fighting with it, i went out and got a new tablet.

Have you tried using the Samsung Kies app to flash the latest stock rom, Dont use Odin or other non Samsung approved flashing software.
I have had my T800 for over 4 years and had no real problem with the wifi connection, But i have heard that there can be compatibility problems with some wifi routers, Also try changing the channel number on your router, Auto channel was giving me poor connection on my PC, I ran the inSSIDer wifi app and it said to manually change my wifi channel to channel 1 the clearest channel as other wifi and bluetooth and wifi dongle even you smart gas/electric can cause interference., auto was picking channel 13 for some reason and it fixed my problem.

Thanks, but since it's the router at my workplace there's not much I can do on that side. Question is, are there any specific steps I can take to verify if it's software-related or if the wifi module is just gone?
Wifi and Bluetooth both use the 2.4ghz frequency, So they can interferer with each other and can cause constant disconnect`s, I have seen this many time, Use 5.0ghz on your T800 if you can, Or disable Bluetooth.
Does your wifi work OK on other brands of router?, Or is it just the one you are using at work.

It's kind of tricky to answer: let's say the times this issue appeared it always stareted at work, but then also at home I couldn't keep a stable connection. Once the problem starts, I get no connection at work at all and very difficult connection at home (meaning it does connect intermittently).
UPDATE. After other attempts and a complete restore of stock firmware, I have both wifi and bluetooth not working, constantly "turning on...." but never activating.
Just got the new Pixel 6 Pro and already I'm having issues connecting to my WiFi (2.4ghz and 5ghz). It will connect for a few seconds, disconnect, connect but will display no internet, or sometimes not connect at all. My Pixel 5 has no issues with my WiFi btw. I've tried factory reset 3x, updated to 11/5 patch, turned airplane mode on/off, reset router and modem, turn off and then turn on phone, and still no luck. Anyone else with a similar issue?
Try disabling randomized MAC under Security settings for your network.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any problems, and I haven't had to disable the randomized MAC or anything else. I hope you get it working.
Thanks for the responses! I disabled the randomizing MAC option for my WiFi. It still kept disconnecting/reconnecting, but after about 5 minutes it finally just stayed connected
Update: Keeps disconnecting from WiFi again. It'll connect for about 10-15 seconds and then disconnect. Randomized MAC is disabled, have the latest updates, and tried powering all the way down and back on again. The constant switching is also draining the battery and making my phone hot. Any ideas on what to do other than not have WiFi on my Pixel 6 Pro?
having similar issue with mine. is your router wifi 6 ?
I have an issue with an eero in my ring pro base station, but not my google wifi mesh network.
just got the ring pro, so havent had time yet to thoroughly investigate for a solution yet.
Are you using your wifi with an allowed/restricted Mac list? I have to reboot my router everytime I change the list for the connection to stabilize.
same here, had the exactly same issue with my pixel 4 xl. I'm using a Fritz!Box 7590 without WIFI 6.
WPA2 / no random macs / band 5 for 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz disabled
Still the same issue. Pretty annoying.
no WiFi 6. Using netgear orbi rbr40 with latest firmware. Tried connecting to both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, and also not using an allowed/restricted Mac list. Rebooted router again just to see what happens and my Pixel 6 Pro stayed connected a bit longer on the initial connection and then after about a minute the connection started to drop again. Would rooting and flashing whatever is available here in the community fix whatever is causing this issue?

I have had the 6 Pro for about 2 weeks and several days ago phone calls I tried to make timed out after 10 seconds. Restarting would work for about an hour.
Verizon Store (individual owned - Littleton, MA) was wonderful. After checking settings and replacing SIM they called Google Support. This is a known issue so they had the fix:
System- Reset Options - Reset Wifi, Mobil, Blue Tooth, then pick reset settings. Power Down, Restart.
Worked like a charm. Give it a try and hope it works for you.
FWIW my modem took a complete dump so I have a new one on the way. I think this is definitely a bigger issue.
