WiFi issues?

I'm really satisfied about defy's performances but there's something i can't figure out with WiFi connection. I'm currently using a netgear wireless-N router which works flawlessy with all the other devices, my defy instead is not able to stay connected for more than 10 seconds, keeping disconnecting and re-connecting to the router, continuosly. No way to use the browser or the market under Wi-Fi.
I'm also on a motorola's forum, there i found other people who experienced the same issue. Some of them say the problem is related to wireless-N routers and yes, it looks like defy works better with wireless-G routers (tested).
Btw, no problem with the 3G.
I was wondering if some of you, here in xda, got trouble with defy's WiFi.

FWIW, I use my defy with my linksys wrt54gl router with no issues whatsoever, so it very well may be the wireless n being the issue.

I'm using an access point (netgear) with wireless N and i'm connected to Wifi all the time. I've had this mobile for a week so i haven't noticed myself getting disconnected on skype...but it works fine with N

I see a wifi issue with my fritz.box as well. wifi is (and stays) connected, but no data is going through. I've found various tips like using static ip or using different channels, but in the end they didn't work for me.
so I rooted the defy and modified the tiwlan.ini where ht_enable was set from 1 to 0, which actually disables N, but gives me a reliable connection instead.
hth

thanks for your replies.
@trosenda
Most of the times it keep disconnecting but sometimes it stays connected but there's no flow of data, that is what happened to you.
I will try your method, disabling N (ht_enable set to 0) probably forces defy to go through G only.
thanks

I have a netgear wifi g and I have some trouble with defy which keep on disconnecting so I can't use the browser or the market...It's not related with wifi n because my router is only g but the problems are there...If you found a solution can you post a step by step explanation?

Solved I figured out defy don't like wifi n routers and protected ones. With a router that broadcasts on g channels with no protection (btw only mac adress control access) the defy works like a charm...hope this help others

Yes the problem is exactly what you said - defy doesn't like too much w-N and secured routers. Not all the people have this issue, however, it has been reported to Motorola through their forum. Let's wait for their answer, hopefully there could be a kind of fix.

I was having the same issue with my Belkin N (secured) in my house. But in two other buildings I have G routers w/o issues. So, I figured, just swap the N for a G, right? No. As soon as I tried either of the G routers in the house, same problem as with the N. So I put the Belkin back in the house and spent some time adjusting its three external antennae. Bingo! I now have as solid a connection with the N as with my two other G routers. Must have been interference. Phones? Applianaces? Sonos? BTW the only other thing I had with the same trouble was my PS3. Now, it's connected perfectly as well. Interference.

I'm online through my Linksys 610n router, haven't skipped a beat since I got the phone...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that turning of the n-standard on my router, going to b/g mixed (from b/g/n) worked great, no more disconnections. Before, is disconnected like all 20 seconds or so.

What worked for me:
My router is a netgear dgn1000 (a/b/g/n), i had WiFi issues for long time, i tried with the G mode only, tried all the possible configurations (both on phone and router), but nothing to do, disconnections every 10 seconds still going on.
Finally i got it working by following these three steps:
1) Update the router firmware (my router was updated to 1.1.00.41)
Then from your dgn1000 configuration page - 192.168.0.1 -
2) Go to "Wireless settings", switch to G mode
3) Go to "LAN Setup" and assign an address reservation to your defy (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
Note: I tried 2) and 3) before the firmware was updated, no success. So, if you have a dgn1000, first of all update the firmware.
Hope this can help

I don't lise connection but the signal is very weak with Wifi. 3g réception is inside on the other hand

I had the DGN1000 with firmware 1.1.00.35 and my Milestone 2 was connecting very well. Now, I have a DGN1000 with the 1.1.00.28 and my Milestone 2 doesn't connect at all: every 10 secs the connection is re-established with a new dhcp request.
Do you think I ONLY have to change my firmware? Or I have to change also the address reservation?

hi,
why my DEFY wifi N only connect at 65mbit ???? why not 150mbit???
who knows something about it ???

Hmmmm don't know what to say I gotta netgear dng 2000 have no problem with connection just that the router was a lil weak. Fixed that with antenna replacements. Defy has the 2.2.2 Nordic deblur

[Q] 5 Ghz WiFi impossible on Linksys wrt610n

Hello,
I cannot connect to my AP on 5 Ghz
It sees it, it asks for password, but then disconnect and reconnect endlessly
Any idea why
Cheers.

One X does not support 5GHz wifi. I see only 2.4GHz in official spec

Oups, I thought it could as i can see it

Switch your router to 2.4, and it will work

I thought it was 2.4ghz only cos of the specification too but i can connect to my 5ghz frequency on my Netgear WNDR3700.

I can see and connect to my Netgear 5Ghz WNDR4500 no problem at all.

You guys can tell me what parameters do you use for your 5ghz ?
Thanks.

My router is fairly new, just bought it 2 months ago. I didnt change any of the settings, just plug & play. Even didnt change the router password.

The problem is with Linksys router's wireless .
even in my house we used to have a Linksys router , kept on disconnected when over 3 devices are connected to it , keeps on disconnected every 2-3 minutes really.
changed the router , and everything is smooth now

WIFI Channel 44
WPA2 AES encryption
Up to 300 Mbps speed setting
5Ghz a/n network types.
That's all the settings that i've configured, although it works out of the box with stock netgear settings too.......

I have seen some places (specs) where is doesn't show the 5GHz, but the phone supports it.

I have tried to double check this spec on the HTC offical website and it does indicate this phone supports WiFi 5Ghz, as it is with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
htc.com/us/products/htconex-att#tech-specs
however, i have tried to link with a DLink router, DIR-857, and it sees the 2.4Ghz SSID and could connect without any problem, however, not able to see 5Ghz SSID though, i have also tried to set no security and with different channels but seems not have any lucky to this.
i am wondering is there any particular setting to the phone or router double checked with customer service but seem not really help, only ask me to change and try with another AP or router.....

I'm connected to my 802.11a AP with no problems at all. Ditto for 802.11g. I don't have 802.11n here so no idea if that affects it or not.
I didn't need to do anything special on the phone. The AP is a Cisco AP1242AG and it has the usual configuration with WPA2-PSK.

[Q] One X serious wifi problem

cHi all.
I got my new htc one x week ago. The problem is everytime i connect out home wifi, it works for some tíme and then, after 40minutes approx, wifi goes down and cannot be reconnected not even by computer or other phones. I ides to connect via dads samsung ave and it worked without problems. Is there a way my htc one x could be doping something with router? We also had people here from the providers company and they.changed everything, changed the type of.router, antena etc, yet still after.connecting wifi it only works some tíme. Then blackout. And have to reset whole wifi router...
Thank you for your answers.
Best regards,
Martin

Got the same problem with my HOX. I'm using a d-link router DIR-615. For me the only solution was to switch from a/b/g/n to only g (the 2.4Ghz band). When connected to Wifi via N band, I must reset the router frequently. So try to switch your router to G band only (2.4). Many forum talk about this issue but it seems this is more related to Android OS itself. Some user tried other combination like DHCP or Static IP, different security level (wep, wpa, wpa2). Hope this helped! If you find a better solution please tell me, i wish i could use my router in the 5Ghz band.

This is a good idea:good:. find the channel with less trafic with wifi analyser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd and set your router to that channel.

I had the same problem on a netcomm router. I had to replace my router anyway, so I ended up getting a netgear router and the problem has completely stopped.
It works on both 2.4G & 5G bands without hassle since changing. It also works on my work router which is a linksys.
I think there must be some issues between the HOX and certain brands of routers.

The HOX isnt the only android device to experience this exact same issue (xperia x10,HTC Evo, HOX,Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, Xoom, Toshiba scribe, droid x) Maybe its related to some android builds or device's radios? Some pple are reporting this on many brands of router(Linksys,d-link, Sagemcom, cisco) but not all model of those brands and some of them reported that different settings resolved this issue (a/b/g/n to only g or b+g, AES to TKIP, wpa/wep or no security...). Its very strange and I hope someday they will find the cause of this HUGE problem. But for now Google and manufaturers are speaking like if this issue doesn't exist.
But i'm sure there is a way to solve this before replacing the router...

when i had weird router problems, basically my hox and only the hox caused the router to stop working completely for every device until rebooted, it even took out the other router that it was connected to.
my fix was changing the band thing as above. just try each setting and test each one

[Q] Can't Connect to 5 GHz Wifi Network

Can't connect to my new router's 5 GHz band. It's an Asus RT-N66U. The SSID is visible, but signing in doesn't connect. 2.4 channel works fine, although not that fast. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Resolved - switched to a lower channel.

I used inSSIDer to find the best channel, and I unchecked "avoid poor connections" and "use wifi optimization" in my phone's advanced settings. Also, I found the suggestion that solved my particular problem at smallnetbuilder.com, which has absurdly knowledgeable members who write some great stuff. For example, this article is about competing for bandwidth, which is a concern of mine because I live in an apartment building.
Here is the forum dedicated to the RT-AC66U.

WiFi Disconnecting Issue

Hi,
I'm on my second P2XL (Panda). Both have had issues where they constantly and apparently disconnect on Wifi.
I have a Virgin Media superhub 3 (tried turning 5ghz off), also a TP link range extender plug. Seems to happen on both devices, it disconnects when I'm right on top of the Superhub router.
Any suggestions?
Thinking it must be the router, any suggestions?
would it be worth renaming either the 2 or 5ghz ssid?
I am a wifi newb and have the hub set on factory settings.

I think you are correct on the issue being with the router, and since the repeater gets its signal from the router the repeater is likely not to blame. Changing the SSID would not help. I would first ensure your router (and repeater) is up to date with the latest firmware. My Netgear router comes out with new firmware 2-3 times per year fixing bugs. TP link offers new firmware but not very often. Another solution may be to change the channel the Wi-Fi is using. Usually set to auto, you can change both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz band channels. It could be interference from your neighbors is causing an issue. There are several Wi-Fi apps you can use to find the least congested channels in your home. WiFi Analyzer is one.
If your router is up to date and still causing problems on different channels, you should consider replacing it with a well supported model. No doubt you have used your phone on other Wi-Fi AP's and not had a problem. If you've tried the above with no success, do some research HERE to find a new router.

This is on the Android fanzine sites.

FIXED - For me, my router was pumping 2.4 & 5 ghz as same name. I renamed the 5 ghz, forgot connection on phone and connected to the "new" 5ghz.
No drops since.
Think the phone was getting confused when it was at the far reaches of the 5ghz connection.
