WiFi / Router connection problem ! SOLVED

Here is the issue I am having with my Galaxy Nexus while connected to the wifi / router (2Wire Bell Canada) at home
All happened 3 days ago when I was trying to open the play store and noticed that it stucked on the loading... screen
till it gave the connection timed out error.(Never happened before)
I tried to open the browser and been able to browse light sites..Heavy ones though were taking forever to open and
everything that need " sign in " as hotmail..(from the browser) didn't open at all giving an error of not connected to a network.
I run a speedtest >
Download : 6.2 mbps (I have 7 mbps plan) - Upload (took forever to load) : 0.03 mbps (I have 0.7 mbps plan)
Strange enough that next day I tried the above at work over wifi and all worked smoothly !
Tried over 3G and all worked smoothly as well ... !
Went back home, connected to wifi and same issue.., play store stucked on the loading... screen and all the above.
Note that I didn't change any settings neither on the phone or the router... except few updates for my installed apps.
I cleared data / cache of the play store, fastboot erase cache, changed channels on the router but nothing helped !
I was thinking of factory reset or reflashing ...but since it is working at work and over 3G I don't see the point of doing that...
Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you,

i have almost the same issue here, but mine is with additional problems like :
"i experiencing extreme slowdowns
- ui is very smooth for the most part, but some actions just have the phone freeze for 5-20(!) seconds
- several (most) apps keep getting the "is not reacting"-screen, even when i'm not using the device
- this freezing sometimes results in complete lockups of the device, device is running but doesn't react to the power button to turn screen on/off (either at all, or for around 20 seconds).
- just extremely slow wifi connection take me forever to download anything."
thing i did :
factory reset, wipe everything , reset everything , tried different roms (4.1.2 ; 4.2 )
the interesting part is when i'm not connected to a wifi i don't experience these problems ..
thanks if someone reply.
and thanks for letting me use this thread.

I tried many tricks without any success ... I wonder if it is related to the internet speed especially that while using my phone at work (extreme high speed connection) I have no problems at all - But at home with a regular high speed connection I have all the problems : can't open the play store stucked on loading, very slow browsing, network timed out ...etc.
Does anyone tried with a higher speed internet connection ? ... what speed are you getting on your phone when all these problems occured...
Thank you,

One thing that most people don't know about it is wifi channels. I had the same issue with my phone not to long ago. None of my PCs were affected by this, so I checked the WiFi channels been use by my neighbors and I found 3 WiFi signals( including my) using channel 6. This is means trouble so I changed my to channel 11 and problem solved. It doesn't mean you r having the same issue but worth a try. Download a WiFi utility software if you wanna check.

Thanks for your input...I tried that too with no luck ! ...But it is true that sometimes changing channels helps solving such issues.

Hello All,
after debating to find a fix for the issues I was having with my Galaxy Nexus and the Wifi / Router (Bell Canada) - Read issues in the first post.
I called Bell for the 3rd time and I was lucky to talk to a smart agent who told me that the problem is from Bell - They are having issues connecting to the https sites (secure sites) and they are indeed working to solve the problem as soon as possible !
So if Bell Canada is your internet provider and having problems connecting to the play store (which needs access to username/password), slow internet browsing, etc... hopefully everything will get back to normal soon !
Cheers,

Network connection error.

Hi all,
I need your help with my issue.
I have a problem with my internet connection on some games. (WiFi or 4G) If i tap on retry, it is working as it should. Except Clash of clans. It keeps disconnecting. i can play a minute or 2 before the messeage appears. On 4g Clash of clans is working perfectly. (Strange)
I tryed 2,4 and 5ghz band of the router. (Asus RT-N66U)
With my HTC m8 on the old firmware everything worked perfectly. (Android 4.4.2)
Since Android 5.0.1 and firmware 4.16.401.10 i get these errors. I tried several ROM'S. (SkyDragon, Leedroid, Insert Coin.) So it's not the software i suppose.
My HTC One m8 is S-Off and have Super CID.
For what it's worth, i'am living in the Netherlands.
Could it be a problem in the firmware or am i supposed to use another firmware? It looks like the WiFi is unstable. A speedtest is not constantly. Could it be a problem with my router? (Laptop is working fine)

I hope you guys and gals have a solution for my problem.
Thnx in advance!

It's a common problem with Lollipop. With other devices and stock ROMs as well. The next update should fix this.

This is a solution I've never heard of till now. It's been reported to work for others, obviously, or you wouldn't have posted this. Specifically, on what networks/carriers?

WIFI Fix

Like a lot of you guys I've been struggling with my WiFi to update Twitter / Facebook / Instagram and so on but I've found a little trick don't ask me how though ..
Seems when having a VPN activated the WiFi works normally but as soon as you forgot to turn on the VPN even Gmail and OS updates don't work
Some infos that may help ? :
I'm located in Algeria everything was ok on Oreo
Installed VPN and Android Pie update popped
Download it and applied it since then WiFi is broken
This issue is only on WiFi on 4G/3G everything is ok
Bluetooth issues when pairing Redmi Airdots you know the drill
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Redmi Note 8 very Slow mobile data

Hi, recently a suggested my dada to buy a Redmi Note 8, today he told me he can't watch youtube videos, i checked his phone and it is connected to 4G but the internet speed is realy slow, i did a speedtest and it is reaching 2 mbps max, i tried some solutions proposed to redmi note 8 pro but nothing works, we are in Mexico and the phone was bought here but it came with india rom, i tried to flash the global rom for test if it solves the issue but i cant, its older than the india rom running on the phone.
He cant connect his pc over wifi zone neither, it says connected without internet access.
Does anyone have a suggestion? plz help me, he wants to kill me
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

I have the same problem, no solution yet.

Aggravating!

Same issue here. I have noticed if I go in to airplane mode and back out my data isn't bad for about 45 min. Also my phone is a clean setup, I did not recover from backup and my phone has the bootloader unlocked. I only have a handful of apps on it.

Strange! You guys purchased from official store? Cause, no connectivity issue here at all. Check xiaomi authentication online. Check my speedtests:https://paavelo.tumblr.com/post/631930203952824320/speedtest

Please check again after you disable the gps and bluetooth...
And do it not from the drop down curtain, but from the menu...

Install Miui 11

Suddenly extreme slow wifi speed

Hi guys. I have 100mb fiber internet in my home. I bought a Mi A2 Lite in monday of last week. My Mi A2 Lite stock Android 9 4/64gb works fine, the wifi signal and speed was never a problem, but in the last 3 days my wifi speed goes extremely down. Youtube can't even load the thumbs, the videos don't open, It takes a lot of time to download some app from Play Store, etc. All the conection is extremely slow, like a 2G internet or older. The phone was working fine until the last days, I didn't have installed any new thing, don't touched the wifi router... PC, notebook and another Android devices working fine in Wifi, except my Mi A2 Lite. The 4G in the phone works fine. I've already turned off the bluetooth and location and nothing happens. Already reseted the wifi configurations and nothing, changed the wifi channel in router and no way... This is as far the worst Xiaomi I've ever bought :crying: :crying: :crying:
With speedtest apk the donwload and upload speed can't eve reach 20 kbps. No way to use.
What can I do? Mi Mi A2 Lite is brand new, last Android 9 (10.0.18.0) that I updated in tuesday (and make a factory reset), all working fine until this sh** starts...

Same problem here. Nothing changed, no ota update the last days. Very slow internet connection, tested with different router. Of course phone not dropped or something. Sometimes the speed goes up to 50 mbit and the download also is optimal and reached 10 mbit. I can't see where the problem could be because it sometimes seems to work normally.

Remember this coronavirus thing that's happening worldwide now? Your WiFi is probably slow because most people are home and have nothing to do but stream movies etc.
Yesterday I was supposed to get a free upgrade from 20Mb to 120Mb on my fibre subscription but during daytime I see 2-4 Mb only.
