is there a solve or workaround for this issue?
What version are you using?

Neat idea. I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
You mentioned 3 problems but only 2 solutions....is the 3rd still an issue?

so far switching to channel 1 has fixed my issue, it quit working many times until I switched. Not one issue since.
I hope I'm not causing a problem with the existing wireless deployment at work using channel 1.

You're welcome I'm the article author btw.
Mine does the exact same thing.
I have 4G coverage at home so I often set it on the charger and leave tethering on for my laptop/xbox use but after a while I have to turn tethering off and back on, because it stops working.
Hopefully this fixes it!
I was using MrRobinson's stock rooted rom. When OTA 4.1.2 came out, I unrooted, installed patch, ran CF-Autoroot then I'm back to rooted again. However I did notice, every now and then, my wifi stays connected but connection dies. Internet connection is simply dead. So I don't get any email notifications if ever I get new emails. To fix this I have to turn wifi off/on and internet is ok again. I thought maybe I did something wrong so I wipe cache/factory reset, odin back to full stock non-rooted, installed OTA then use Exynos Abuse/Exploit to root. I am still experiencing the same issue. Att Smart Wifi is disabled. Wifi is always on under sleep policy. I have scorched the net and I can't find any solutions Any help would be much appreciated.
Mine is on the oem update no root even, and my wifi sucks now. The signal and connection will be good but it can't up or download anything. Wifi speed and cellular data speeds are all sub 1mbps also. ATT wifi is disabled also.
The only thing that helps me is to just pair to another wifi source, and go back if needed. Annoying! I'd love to find some solution also, I don't mind rooting if need be for it also.

You can still do warranty to get a new one just call att and tell them your situation with it. This would be my best recommendation to you. Or just root and keep running roms. This is one phone that I havent had the urge to customize with a rom or anything yet

Thanks for the recommendation but I also felt the same before. I thought the phone was fast enough that I didn't need to try custom roms. After trying Scott's ATT CleanRom SE, that idea was simply change. If you haven't, you should try running custom roms. Although, I would still want to know if there is a solution to this problem when running stock rom.

Perhaps it's a minor bug somewhere and the custom ROMs happen to pull that wireless code piece from something other than official 4.1.2 where the bug (if it is one) is located.

Perhaps it's an issue depending on what broadcast freq is being used by the router.

True, but 4.1.1 didn't have this issue. They must have changed something.
I don't know if it is related to the issue in this thread, but I had a problem with the phone since I got it of the WIFI constantly connecting, then disconnecting, then connecting again. I solved it by changing the security model of the router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP128.

Yeah saw that thread somewhere but this is a whole different issue. Wifi stays connected but no connection to the internet. You get connection timeout.
Yeah mine just quits. A note 1, a note 10.1, 2 ipads, 2 iphone 4's, and xperia ion and three separate computers have had zero issues on any of the wifi networks here. In fact, if I leave it be, it will not work on the phone, and it now seems to block all the rest from access! If I turn the wifi off on this, perfect immediately afterward. Strange.

did you try just simply reset your router?
I had all the problems in this thread after 4.1.2 A factory reset fixed it.
I'm using the international ROM (custom but fairly stock) and started experiencing the same issue when I switched ROMs.
Toggling the wifi always fixes the problem, but it's not a permanent solution. The problem seems to happen when the device goes into sleep mode for me.

I'm not a newb and I'm pretty sure aosp roms wont have the problem. I think its pretty disgraceful for such a great phone to have these wifi disconnects. No its not the router, I have a note 2 and s2 running flawlessly and I don't want to do a store return for the same phone. Any insight would be appreciated and voiding a warranty is the least of my concerns.
Anyone out there lol
I am interested with this also. Free bump.
Btw, I got authentication error on the wifi, not sure with yours.
Tested with 4 different routers, no go. Meanwhile, my iPhone and Nexus 5 are working fine, so are all my other devices like TV, laptops, IP camera etc.

I have Asus RT-N66U - stock firmware because DD-WRT have issues. I also tried D-Link, Netgear and Buffalo.. all bought JUST to test this damn Wi-Fi issue. All connection to 802.11n 5Ghz and I tried every single channel out there.
I am using JB 4.3, stock, rooted. Wifi setting is:
- Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Only when pluggen in
- Always allow scanning: no
- Auto network switch: no
No heavy traffic most of the time. Issue happens whether I play Netflix or not.

You just solved all your issues. Go on the 2.5 GHz. Forget 5ghz. Test that out I bet you it works. 5ghz has less people on it it also is unstable. Very unstable. I shut mine off on my router cause of all the headaches it was causing.

Hmm.. that's bizarre. I have used 5Ghz for a long time and all my other devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 7, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S) works great with the 802.11n 5Ghz radio. No authentication error. My place is also "crowded" with all the neighbors' Wi-Fi, all 2.4 Ghz.
I will test it out, but I found 2.4Ghz is slower when say, streaming netflix. Slightly more buffering.

Ok say I went ahead and rooted and installed Jedi and still had an unstable connection issue so I tried pac-rom and confirmed no issued with wifi, went back to Jedi and was still getting wifi disconnects. After a lot of hair pulling and google search I found a xda user post in a thread (I can't remember where) were an owner of the note3 and s4 said he fixed his wifi disconnects on both phones by changing his routers band settings to g or b and not mixed g/b like it had been set on. I decided to give it a try so I switched mine from what was a b/n band to just a b band and low and behold I was able to stream a whole movie via allshare without a disconnect where as before it was about 8 minutes before a disconnect. I hope this thread helps somebody. I will report back with an update In a day or so.

It appears that my wifi is very unstable. After transfering around 250mb, my connection stops working. Usually the connection requires me to cycle wifi in order to get it working once more.
I initialy thought that the issue could be fixed in the tmobile software update, but that was not the case. The issue persists after the update that took place last night.
Are any of you experiancing this? Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have setup a warranty replacement but id rather just send that back and keep my already setup device.

i suggest you stop assuming anything and search yourself. Also stop being a ****, its unnecessary. But i am sure it helps you feel so much more knowledgeable and better to post a "lrn 2 search" reply.
my guess is that you seen wifi blah blah blah and were like "this is the same as wifi calling not working or wifi turning off after the screen turns off" or some other basic issue.

I don't see how this thread is redundant, there's no need to police the forums.
OP's issue is something I've had - a factory reset, TheClefSLC, seemed to do something productive, though I still get drops when data is being transferred on a moderately large scale. As of now I think we'll have to either wait for a software/firmware update or, once the device is unlocked, experiment with ROM modifications...

I'm returning mine tomorrow.. this is unacceptable. Wifi just stops working.
I have 5ghz off on my router, so it is doing it on 2.4 too.
Try changing the channel on the router. I had about 8-10 instances over 24 hours where the phone just stopped transmitting data with the router. I had to toggle Wi-Fi to fix it. I changed the channel on my router and haven't had an issue in 48 hours or so now. Seems to have worked.

I think that this may just be the fix to our WiFi problems. I put my 2.4Ghz on channel 6 and my 5Ghz on 40. Seems to have done the trick, and my speeds seem faster on the 5Ghz on channel 40. well see how it goes over the next few days.

Well, it seems to put a band aid on the problem. It works fine for a little while, maybe a few hours. But after that the problems return. At least they did for me
I just tried the 2.4:6/5:40 setting with my Asus RT-AC68U. 2.4 ran a bit faster according to the Speedtest app, but 5 ran at pretty much the same speed (both were set to auto channel select beforehand). I am going to tinker around with it some more and see if I can improve upon it.
I have noticed the same issue on both 2.5 and 5ghz. I stream music thru chromecast and frequently experience lost connections. Very annoying. I hope this is an issue that is addressed soon in an update.
I am not experiencing any issues with wifi or touchscreen input on my Pixel C, so doing this wouldn't really be relevant, but I am curious if somebody with the aforementioned problems has tried flashing the MXB48K factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I know that there hasn't been any word from Google on what the MXB48K image is, but I figure you can't irreversibly harm your Pixel C by doing it and it may have updated Wifi and/or touchscreen drivers that help with the problems people are having. I'd be happy to help write up some instructions, if necessary, should somebody decide to try it.

Same I'm still on J also. Mine updated when I turned it on but its still the J build.
Yeah I'm wondering if this build fixed the wifi and touchscreen problems. If it did I would reorder
Edit: Actually, this build was uploaded at the same time the J build was uploaded wasn't it? That would just mean it has the same problems

I'll double check when I get home but when I switched the tablet on there was an update and I just assumed it was OK 38J already since there was only 2 images available
Not to mention there is no change log for either build. Worth a shot if someone has time over Christmas but I won't consider reordering it until Google officially issues a fix for these issues.
Turns out you were correct and it's on build 48J
I'm gonna flash the other one now I guess see what the deal is.

See i;m looking at the other build and it's the same date
I doubt it's actually worth flashing, if it was something important it would have been OTA'd by now
I just got done setting up my Pixel C on MXB48K. Seems to work fine. Again, I wasn't noticing the wifi problems or touchscreen problems, but I ran some control tests for the wifi before i flashed it. I will run the same tests before I go to bed and see if it makes a difference.

Now that Google's Pixel C is available for purchase on the Google Store, the company has posted the first set of factory images for the device. There are two Android 6.0.1 images available, carrying the build numbers MXB48J and MXB48K, respectively.
Editor's note: We were informed that MXB48J is the official released build. MXB48K is for development purposes.

I just got done setting up my Pixel C on MXB48K. Seems to work fine. Again, I wasn't noticing the wifi problems or touchscreen problems, but I ran some control tests for the wifi before i flashed it. I will run the same tests before I go to bed and see if it makes a difference.

oRAirwolf - is the Multi-window option available in the K build Developer Options by any chance?

I don't see it in there, no. I wish Google would be a little more transparent with the factory image differences.
does the k build have the same 2 stage bootloader?

I'm not really sure what that is. If you can describe what to look for, I am happy to check.
I've been on this build for awhile and I don't have issues, BUT! I didn't notice any issues while on J either. So I may just have a better unit.

It is my hope that somebody who is experiencing issues give this build a try. This build definitely works fine for me.

Thank you for testing this.
Are you a bit of a distance away from your router. Like the other side of the house or up/down a floor? The wifi works fine when you are in close proximity but rapidly degrades the further away you get. Ll of my other devices are fine anywhere in the house except for the Pixel C.
You can use speed test apps for mbps speed tests and the Wifi Analyzer app to test the dBm level.
Using these really shows the difference between the Pixel C and all my other devices. It is not just a numbers thing either. I really see slower internet speeds in use.

What if you install the K version, atg? Does it solve your wifi issue?
