Hi all,
Yesterday my gnex stopped being able to connect to my home 5ghz network. Nothing has changed in the router and connection to 2.4ghz network remains perfect. All my other devices (imac, two ipads,a win7 laptop and a win 7 desktop, and an iPhone) can still connect perfectly to the same 5Ghz network.
I have not changed my rom recently either. I've been running slim bean 4.3 stable release 1 since it came out, all the while using 5ghz with no problem. I have tried switching to every available channel on my router and there is no difference. This literally came out of nowhere with no change on the phone or router preceding this problem.
I have noticed that if I stand right on top of the router, literally within two feet, it will connect and work. But if I move more than two feet away, it will show some reception bars but no data will be transmitted, and it will eventually disconnect.
In the app inSSIDer the network appears, but when I'm in the other room it will be grayed out with no label at times, but the signal strength is equivalent to what it was when it worked (which was the last two years).
After reading several forum posts around the Internet (like https://productforums.google.com/fo...ic/nexus/X80hGyTmusI#!topic/nexus/X80hGyTmusI) I tried clean flashing the 4.3 ROM again. Then I tried downgrading to 4.2.2 slimrom (a fix suggested by many posts), but to no avail, both times with a full wipe and clean flash.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
5ghz band has always done that on my nexus. It's a PITA

I've been using my Nexus 7 2013 LTE for almost a year now. But since last week I've been having trouble connecting to the internet via mobile network. I have full signal, but no data connection.
At first the issue was intermittent, but now it's constant. Incidentally, sometime after I started getting problems (but during a brief period of time when I did in fact had a data connection) the device got upgraded to Android 4.4.4. Maybe the upgrade had something to do with the issue, but i'm sure that it started happening before the upgrade.
For some time I was sure that the issue was with the network. After long useless conversations with them I finally tried the sim on another device, and to my disappointment, it worked fine.
I also found out that if i change the preferred network mode to 2G, then i do get a data connection. That's not very useful.
Any thoughts?
I've been having a similar problem since the 4.4.4 update. I work in an LTE coverage area, and live in a 2G area. It transitions just fine from 2G into 3G and LTE, but then when I go back into the 2G area it drops signal entirely. Toggling airplane mode won't make it recover, but a full reboot will. After the reboot it works fine again. I'm considering trying a factory reset to see if that helps.
Hey guys,
So all of a sudden, my wifi is searching and not connecting in a campus setting. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 is still connected to the same wifi my Note 4 was. I have tried rebooting, removing battery, shutting off and on data and wifi, and airplane mode. Nothing reconnects it. Also tried forgetting all networks since there are 5 when searching for networks it finds and reconnecting to one, still no dice. It's been 4 hours, still can't reconnect. Any ideas?

Have you tried to forget the network and then ADD it with + Add Wi-Fi network? I actually had an issue playing with a Galaxy note 10.1 2012 edition, I turned my hotspot (sprint note 4) on and named it the same as our current network (was showing how open networks aren't always the network they say and anybody can create a Starbucks-Guest network.... I used starbucks-guest because I didn't want to put my schools on here). The tablet didn't see the network even after reboots, but when I added the network manually it connected right away. Also was this connecting to the same access points or different ones on the other side of campus?
Yep tried forgetting, re-adding the wifi spot and nothing.
I've been having wifi connection issues since day one of getting this phone.
Not sure if I have the same problem.
But at least once a day, it seems the phone can no longer make a connection to my wifi.
The only solution is to either just power off the phone and restart or do what Sprint asked me to do.
Sprint said to try and reset the network connection information by dialing ##72786#
The phone will power off and then restart do some background stuff and then power off again and restart.
Once that is done, all is fine.
I've never had this happen on any other of my Android devices. I even use a static IP with my phone setup.
And yes, I have tried just using the default of DHCP.
I had thought it was my router (Asus RT-AC68U) which transmits both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I have both setup and I try to use 5ghz the most.
I did upgrade the router software because I was one version behind, but that did not fix anything.
Also, I had a Sprint femocell in my house (provided for free from Sprint) because I had bad signal issues years ago.. But because this phone uses LTE and now it seems the phone comes with built-in WiFi Calling. (Means instead of using the cellular network it will use my network and ISP to make Sprint calls, all voice and text messages come through normally, it's basically a built-in femocell).
I returned that, whoops still in the box, need to get that mailed out fast.
I'm not sure how widespread this issue is, but I suspect it's bigger that just the two of us here. And if I'm in the wrong thread, please let m know.
Thanks

Hey guys, I am using Miui.eu 9.0.5.0 stable and since the moment I bought the phone, the Wi-Fi connection is falling (only Wi-Fi, in the 4G LTE network, there are no problems), the connection drops for a moment and connects again, this several times in the day. Sometimes it drops, comes back and drops 5 minutes later and sometimes gets OK for 3 or 2 hours, and drops again. Is there a solution?
I already factory reset and fastboot reset, but nothing has changed.
My connection Wi-Fi is on, but it only comes out of my connection and connects to it again.

I have the exact same problem. I am on the MIUI.eu 9.3 weekly 8.2.1.
I had this problem before on the 8.1.13, but I made a clean flash and everything was working fine until last night.
I think its a bug with the ROM.
The connection drops and connects automatically. You can change change the connection type to compatibility if you haven't already. Help but didn't solve the problem.
I think this happens when you have 2 wifi networks that overlap, but the have low signal strength.

try flashing stock miui. if it s I'll doesn't work, rma it
I just wanna say that after updating to the xiaomi.eu 8.3.1, solved the problem.

I just got this phone yesterday and so far I just cannot get it to stay connected to my network. No other devices are having this problem. It basically just seems to constantly connect and disconnect from the wifi and also seems to constantly search for other connections as well. I've tried factory reset, cache clearing(which never works as it just red triangle error's me), reset the router, tried to change settings in phone itself but nothing seems to fix it and it's making it impossible to use at home. Anyone have any suggestions?
Same thing here. I went in and turned off all the wifi in battery power saving exclusions. Ain't been home long enough to try though.
I'm having this same issue! My prior daily (S9+) didn't have this issue, and my Pixel 2XL doesn't have this issue. I could be right next to the router and it still does this. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm at home, work, parents house, or a cafe, it still randomly loses connection. Same with my Gear S3. Just randomly loses connection. It's pretty annoying, and I hope they offer a software fix. Yes, I factory reset the phone and it still occurs.
I noticed this only with the 5 GHz band... I will contact LG about it today...
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. My router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on the same SSID. Last I'd heard, Android wouldn't connect to 5 GHz in that circumstance, and my G7 appears to continue that trend.
But it still disconnects from the network all the time.
Sadly I have the same issue. I have different SSID for 2.4 and 5Ghz band, and as devil_tear says it's fails only with the 5ghz band. I did a factory reset but issue stills there.
Did you found a fix for this issue?
Had the same problem. Solved by enabling wifi on the battery saving power exclusions in the battery menu.

Thanks a lot for this tip.
Had the same problem, was burning through my 4G data at a rate much faster than on my Google Pixel.
So far, adding wifi to the power saving exclusion has seemed to fix the issue. Thank you!
PS: Does any else find the wifi signal on this phone is weak?

Great suggestion
Tried the suggestion here for adding WiFi to exclusion. WiFi on 5ghz still disconnects and reconnects every few seconds. Only way to keep it connected is putting it on 2.4ghz.
Tried the suggestion with reboots, factory reset, adding WiFi to exclusion and then connecting to the network. My g7 will just not work with it.

Have seen this also, in my case it happens when I am a bit far from the router, it may be the router not having a strong stable connection so the phone see it doesn't have internet. In the points I experience that I have a 5Ghz connection of 0-2Mb but I have maybe 2 bars of connection. Share your opinions to try to understand the problems.

For me I would say it happens more if I have 2-3 bars but nonetheless it happens even 3ft away from the router eventually. what's odd is my note 5 stays connected, my computer, and other phone stay connected on the 5ghz band. All these devices are in the same location so I'm pretty dumbfounded especially considering this is a newer phone than the note 5 lol. I hope it can be fixed with an ota update

I have the same issues. I sent back the first phone for a replacement thinking it was the issue. When the second phone arrived it was working perfectly and then it happened again.
I noticed this happened after I took whatever software update was offered. I went as far to switch providers with different equipment (fibe to cable) but same result.
Made specific 2.4ghz SSID for LG G7 and no issues.
I've never seen this happen. And my laptop and LG are using the same 5 ghz signal.
I think I remember the G6 doing this though

Just came back from my dad's house and I know it's a short test, however he has an Archer a7 connected after his dedicated provided box. I wonder if that can fix the issue?
I have the same issue.
it connects to 2.4Ghz networks fine but the range is very limited when I move to another room wifi reception decreases a lot. However my wife`s S9+ and my oneplus 6 works fine.
Main problem is when I connect to 5Ghz network it starts disconnecting and reception is even worse than 2.4Ghz. S9 and Oneplus connection is still fine at 5Ghz
I tried to change the 5ghz channels on the router but no luck and I exclude the WIFI from battery saving apps still didn`t work.
I have to use 2.4Ghz and the reception is not as good as other phones
Wifi seems stable for me, except wifi calling. That would crash at connection or even mid-call sometimes. I'd have to reboot to make or receive another call. Some sort of server error. Turned off wifi calling and no issues yet. Didn't notice Ed it anyway since 4g is really strong here.
After the newest update on my phone, taken today Oct 4th, 2018/my random WiFi disconnects haven't been happening at all on 5ghz. Also, the signal is about 3 bars larger now in the same location it used to be dropping out constantly. Hopefully it stays this way.

I was coming in to report something similar. I've got the US T-Mo version and just got the G710TM10K update yesterday.
WiFi stability has massively improved. Disconnects are almost completely nonexistent now. I haven't noticed that the signal bar is behaving any differently, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The update was fairly large (over 400 MB), so I could see new firmware playing a role.
Could anyone still on G710TM10G post their data from Software Info to check if the baseband has been updated? Here's mine from 10K:
