WIFI Problems

My wifi if being finicky, like not wanting to connect, or even see my home router, is anyone else having any trouble with wifi?

it must be your router.

no problems here...

I was running it with the following:
SSID broadcast off
WPA2 Personal
Mac filtering
I turned SSID broadcast back on and it works fine now, someone else want to replicate those settings and see if they have problems?

I am having problems connecting to my wireless router, my Evo is saying I have a "poor signal" at my computer desk but my computer is showing me at 100% signal. I think its a Evo software thing but thats my 2 cents. I don't use my wifi often with my phone any way so no biggie for now.

I also have ssid broadcast off and I cant get it working.

Hi everybody, So far I love the EVO even without 4g. Anyway after I turned on my ssid I connected okay. I can see the market and find what I want to download. It says downloading but never does. I have downloaded apps with the 3g but I don't have a signal at my home. I always used winmo before and had no problems downloading on my home network. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what I might be missing. I got root okay and have been having a blast but I sure would like to download some more apps while I am at home. Thanks, Rick

SSID broadcast off and no issues for me thus far.

Yes, me too. Sort of.
My Evo shows 1 bar of wifi signal strength at a distance of 8 feet from the router where my iphone shows full bars. I do get decent download speeds using xspeedlabs free but the upload speed seems to cap at 750kbs where the iphone goes over 1mbs with the same test. There is definitely something weird going on.

I am having similar results as far as signal strength. Sitting 2 feet away from my router I am only showing one bar of signal strength and getting very slow speeds. All of my other wifi devices (including those that are on the opposite side of the house and downstairs) are getting signals ranging from "good" to "excellent". Something definitely seems to be up with the wifi.....

I was having wifi issues too. I'm running dd-wrt on my router. Turns out just power cycling the router fixed it. I think I'm going to setup my router to reset weekly.

I get the same issue of having 1 bar of signal strength, regardless of how close I am... even tried on 2 different wireless routers, Linksys-dual band N, and Net gear A/B/G.
I get strong signal from both routers on all other devices, iPhone, iTouch, Touch Pro, Laptops, etc...
I've played with all the settings on the EVO, turning off the mobile data and only having wifi on, changing the encryption settings on the routers... nothing seems to work.
I love the phone, but kinda bummed about this issue.

I have ssid broadcasting turned off and I'm using WPA 2 with no problems.

There is a long, angry thread about this over at HTC's own EVO forum: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/2929.aspx
I'm also getting less Wi-Fi performance on the EVO than on other devices in the house.

Using Fresh 1.0.1 rom and also the new Cyanogen rom, with the SSID off, I cannot connect with WiFi, with SSID on, it works fine. Using Cisco/Linksys e2000 router.
Tested with my iPhone with SSID off, it connects no problem. So the problem is not my router.
Is this limitation of EVO?

Network loss

Ok guys, having a real problem here. Often when I am connected to either 3g or wifi my phone will stop picking up signal suddenly. AIt's almost every time and I will have to disconnect from the network manually and reconnect and it will instantly pick up signal again for a while then it'll repeat. When it suddenly stops it doesn't show on the status bar that I have lost any signal. With 3g its kinda just at a stand still not receiving or uploading and with wifi it just stays the same but I'm still not picking up a signal because by web pages won't load neither will other apps that require network load until I manully disconnect and reconnect. Is anyone else having a problem like this? I don't think it was like this when I firs got my phone a month ago. I'm at a loss. Any help is much appreciated. Oh I'm completely stock btw haven't rooted........(yet) lol

It has happened to me a couple times that I have noticed. I will be streaming music and walking and all of a sudden, nothing.
Even a soft reboot does not help. It will require a full reboot generally to solve the issue. I have not been able to identify the issue specifically. I suspect it might be related to LTE testing in my area.
What's the LTE status in your area?

No lte yet but as I stated earlier it happens on wifi too. It'll still show that the signal is connected but my pages want load at all after it happens and when I try to refresh it'll say that the webpage could not load because there is no network. Only until I manually shut off 3g or wifi in the settings and turn it back on will it pick up signal again but only for about 5 minutes. This has happened in various locations on 3g and wifi and will even happen at home wifi.

This has happened to me as well... A lot . Stock.. on various roms.. No lte as well.. But it's in the works
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition

I've had this problem too. Sprint replaced my phone and it never happened again.

I think reactivating hands free actually fixed my problem...for now anyway. It's not losing network like it was before. All I did was enter on the phone dial pad ##72786# that'll reactivate. Hope this helps

WiFi issues?

Not sure if it's just me, but WiFi will randomly disconnect every 5-10 minutes for a few seconds, then reconnect itself. My m8, nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are not suffering the same so I'm assuming it's not my router. Anyone have any thoughts?

I having a issue but not like yours. Mine just freezes then comes back. Are you on 5ghz or 2.4.

May have defective device or it's Router issue. Everyone I know including my self have no Wi-Fi issue. I'm always on WiFi so yeah

For some reason I lost connection to my hidden wireless and cant get it back. Still works fine on my laptop.

I have no Wi-Fi issues

I think the range is weak in my house my 5ghz on my s5 was 585mbps and my g3 is 296mbps but wifi works great but in my job We have like 5 differend ssids and they all disconnect alot and they all different routers but I guess in my house being closer doesnt log off but at work it does

guys chill! you dont have any problem with your wifi. our phone is looking for a better signal, if it doesnt detected that you have a poor connection it will disconnect itself and it will toggle on your cellular network.
here is your solution
go to your wifi click settings > advance wifi > and uncheck Wi-Fi signal weak and bam. you have your wifi connected all the time!
hit thanks will ya?

Lol same problem s5 wifi signal os stronger on same ssids

I also have this problem and I decided to debug it.
With my jabber client which logs every disconnect I found out that it disconnects from wifi every 5 minutes.
So I opened my router settings and found that only setting that is set to 5 minutes is interval of "Group Key Update". So I changed it to 15 minutes and now it disconnects every 15 minutes.
So it's not solution, but only a workaround. So i will set it to few hours and hope that LG will fix it soon.

WiFi Issues

Is anyone having wifi issues on the March update? I'm trying to determine if it is the phone itself or my wifi AP.
Thanks!

Yep sorry. Forgot to define it. The WiFi randomly disconnects for a few seconds and connects back to the network.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro

I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.

Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.

I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.

Wifi keeps disconnecting..

Hi guys, I just got my pixel 2 xl today and it seems that I have a wifi connectivity issue. It keeps disconnecting me on my wifi and then connecting every few seconds. Anyone else having the same issues?

I experienced the same issue on my first day, however the next day it's gone. I had my new phone for 5 days and I haven't seen the wifi disconnect again!!! My Bluetooth was doing the same thing too but no more weird!!!!

change your router channel to a less congested one (or just a different one), this solved my problem years ago

You beat me to it! Another tip, if you have a router with DDWRT you can set a channel range it can switch on. Main reason I keep my old WRT600N in service!
