I have tried many of the ROM's here and I have noticed a
problem they have in common My network uses WPA-psk tkip usually when connected, the internet will work fine for a
few minutes, (generally 10-15 minutes), the connection will
just stop working, it will still be connected to the wifi
network but I cant load any web pages or send any pings the only way to fix it is to either try to connect to a different
network then connect back to my network, or turn the wifi
off then back on. My router is a linksys wrt54GL running tomato I also tried connecting to my actiontec router, and my
netgear router and the same problem happened on all of
them My hp ipaq rx3115 running windows mobile 2003 does not
have this problem. my signal strength is good. (generally around -20 to -30
dbm ) on some of the threads, I herd about a wifi patch but I
never see any links to it. Is anyone else having this problem?
This has been plaguing me for a while and it's making me hate this phone. I've also seen this issue pop around the internet so it's not just me.
What happens is the wifi stays connected to the router but has no connectivity (i've tried pinging the gateway when it happens, the connection is dead although it is listed in the router as connected). And it happens totally random, sometimes it works entire day, sometimes it happens every hour or worse. This seems to have gotten worse with MM. I used to be able to fix it with turning wifi off/on but now even reboot wont help (it connects to the router but immediately says no internet on wifi), i have to reset wifi on the router for it to start working. I have 2 other androids (kitkat, lolipop), an iphone 5, tablet with a hybrid OS, 2 laptops and a desktop on the wifi working without issues so that kinda rules out the router as the sole culprit (it's a Technicolor crap from my ISP that i can't change, i can only buy an additional AP but i have no idea it will help). Ofc, when the connectivity is lost, the phone is still connected to the wifi, hence doesn't switch to network and i stop receiving notifications, which is driving me insane (also a work phone).
I recently installed an app ("wifi connection manager", the app itself is fairly useless, half the stuff doesn't really work that well, and all the options are really things you can do manually) that has a background service that i thought would keep the connection alive. It worked for about a week and then all of a sudden it stopped. I've tries everything else, short of reflashing the phone.
So after ****ing around for the 1000th time, trying to figure it out i realized that turning the WMM off (router QoS) stops the connectivity issues. Problem with this solution is that my download rate over the wifi drops by half immediately (from 50mbit to 25) and after a while all the wifi connections start to deteriorate to the point where it becomes painfully slow. What's more puzzling however is that when i do turn it off, the G4 connects via 802.11g (and for some reason this makes the connection not lose connectivity). Other devices connect via 802.11n whether WMM is off or on (except the desktop, which has an old wifi card, also on 11g).
Sorry for the wall of text. This and the anticipation of a bootloop is making me seriously regret my purchase.
So my two questions are:
1. Is there a way for me to force the G4 to connect via 802.11g even when WMM is On ? It obviously chooses how to connect on it's own.
2. Given the history of events, is there a network guy somewhere here that could identify wth is going on ?
Thanks a lot for those that made it this far
If I Connect to my Router behind another Router.( Needed to be done because of reason's)
I can only connect to the internet for approximately 3 seconds. It starts loading shows me a page and stops.
Nothing works after this. Only disconnect reconnect. Static IP , disabling ipv6. Nothing seems to help.
Even creating a DMZ settings for this device in the router did not work.
It is a D-Link dir 615. And old beast and only here to bring my people some wifi. And even this one is behind an old Belkin from 200x
So I would love to fix this. Also even behind a openwrt router (behind a fritzbox) it seems not to work.
Ping still works. But websites don't load. Apps don't download. Etc....
Greetings,
Recently upgraded from Galaxy S7 Edge to the Galaxy S9 (standard). The phone so far is fantastic in virtually every way. I am still running all stock (fully updated) software and I have not yet unlocked the bootloader or rooted my device. The only issue I seem to be having that may or may not be environmental is what can best be described as wifi drop outs or hanging.
While the phone doesn't appear to disconnect from the wifi network but it will occasionally hang and websites and net based apps will be unable to load content for a few seconds. Often when the hang occurs the Wifi notification Icon will show a solid white upstream arrow and a blank downstream arrow with no blinking activity during the hang. After a few seconds things seem to return to normal. I have had this occur on both my 2.4 and 5.0ghz AC networks. I have tried rebooting the router and resetting network settings on my device. The issue does not occur on any other wireless devices connected to the router (23 total). Router is a Linksys WRT32X running DD-WRT w/ OpenVPN running ExpressVPN for all except 4 clients (Rokus) that do not use the VPN but rather a split tunneled to be direct with using ExpressVPN Smart DNS for media.
Unfortunately I have been unable to test my phone on a different router to see if I can recreate the issue. This is more so to see if anyone else has heard anything about this kind of issue with the s9 or if my case is isolated and thus potentially a defective wifi unit on my SoC.
Thanks in advance for any information or advice offered.
EDIT: I also noticed that occasionally during the wifi hang/interruption the Wifi notification icon will have an exclamation (!) mark. This does not always occur but sometimes and other times it is the aforementioned upstream arrow going solid while with no activity from downstream arrow.
Turn the VPNs off and see if the connection fixes itself, then you can narrow it down somewhat
Need a direct connection to troubleshoot network problems
Since I've purchased the note 10 +, I've had some wifi connection issues. The phone never stays connected, or will drop wifi frequently. Normally once a day. Now though, it is much more common, and it is for longer periods of time. I'll be casting something to my tv, and then the video will drop due to the phone trying to "reconnect" to the wifi. Has anyone else seen similar issues?
No issues here with WiFi. Do you have any other devices that exhibit this issue? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?
I've tried resetting the router, and doing a factory reset on the device. Also, I've tried it on another wifi network and it does it there as well. No other devices that I have on my wifi exhibit the same behaviour. I was hoping with a software update it would get better but it is getting worse.
Do you have a case on your phone?
Any settings made in advanced wifi settings?
Tried app like wifi analizer? Both to check the received wifi strength and also possible wifi congestion...
Are the problems only while casting to TV or also when streaming of Internet?
Did you try change in wifi settings in router, like extended lease time or assigning fixed ip-adresses to both TV and phone, change of wifi channel, switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

The wifi network is fine. Both in signal and congestion. The phone is set to be on the 5 ghz. And I've never had any issues with it on any other device. I lose signal frequently. I only used the casting example to help people understand what's happening.
Now there is a problem with many routers. Even expensive models may not solve the problem with an Internet connection. I also had problems connecting to wi-fi. The phone was disconnected from the router once every few days. I called the guys who connected the Internet to me, but they said that everything was fine on their part. They sent me a master, he looked, but could not do anything except how to change my router. A few days later, I realized that the problem was not solved and started Googling the problem on the Internet. I came across a forum where they advised me to enter this ip 192.168.1.1 and after a couple of manipulations, I was able to fix my problem.

Are you just talking about the programming page of Netgear's routers? Netgear also has apps for that...

How did entering your router's default IP address fix your issue? What changes did you make to your router's configuration?
Just saying that you entered that IP address and making a couple of manipulations doesn't help the OP.
