Just got my Arc today. Connect up via wifi to various diff sources, same issue. After approx 2 mins, signal bars for wifi remain static, never move and connection issues occur. This happens on anything from market, web, gmail etc.
Repeatable on various diff routers, only way to recover is turn off wifi and reactivate it, then it will last another 2 mins.
Checked and running latest firmware. Faulty device?
Maybe, my wifi works fine.
Yeah starting to think that. Both my galaxy s, and iphone 4 stay connected all the time at decent rates. Watching the router stats the mac for the ARC just drops down to 1, then dies. Also noticing bad range, like anything more than 3m away from router and no signal.
Hi there. yes i have the same problem with my arc.... but not allways, yesterday when i was on market,downloading its stops at 40% and thats it, i must turn off wifi and turn back on, that will help..but after few minutes (downloading,browsing,facebook) it again stops,and again the same. But its not allways after 2 mins... one time is working fine without problems even one day is ok ,and sometimes is doing this. yesterday i get a error from arc something like that " error parsing packets" . And what i have noticed on 3G is doing the same, i tried to download yesterday the same file with 3G conection and it stops again. So i think this is not only wifi problem...i dont know.any clues?sugestions? sorry for my english xd
im at work atm.
The WiFi is pretty well known already, it happens also to me and quite a few other owners of the Arc. From my experience it is related to Youtube application or video playing/flash pages because most often it occurs when using them.
Sometimes I would be able to use the WiFi connection for more than a day without issue, while other times it stops working twice in 5 minutes. Pretty weird behavior, but I'm guessing it is a combination of a software issue and the newer support for draft n wireless connection.
Joy, its kind of a deal breaker for me
No WIFI issue whatsoever with my ARC
Software issue.
So I just updated my Desire HD with the new 2.3.3 update. I downloaded the update OTA using the wifi connection here at home. The download of the update and the installation itself went fine. When my phone rebooted after the update I was glad to see all my settings and apps were still there.
However, there is no connection to the internet anymore through wifi. It does connect to my wifi as I am able to use the Unified Remote app to control my computer. None of the apps however can use the wifi connection to connect to the internet any more.
I already deleted my wifi settings in my Desire HD and re-added them, but that didn't do anything. A simple reboot didn't solve my problem either. My mobile network connection works fine, although much slower than wifi used to be of course.
Does anyone know what I can do to hopefully get my internet connection working again?

This is a known problem...HTC gotta fix this with a new OTA ...
Btw, i can connect to my wifi, and also browse market and web with the standard browser..
Ps:Whit new 2.3.3 Ota..
Chefs have found the WiFi problem. It's not really a big problem. But HTC implemented a minimum WiFi signal strength, which is set high.
So if the signal isn't strong enough, the WiFi will be turned off.
Infact, here on my desk the signal is on the max, and i havent any problem..
I am getting problems too with wifi after update.
For some reason at home wifi is ok here i only reach internal network ...
Very Strange problem...

I doubt that's the problem. When I look in the Testing menu (using *#*#4636*#*#) and go to Wi-Fi Status it says the RSSI is between -51 and -76 which should definitely be strong enough I suppose.

You're correct
HTC has set the minimum WiFi strength to -88, which is imo too high :-/
That's why people will experience dropped wifi
So what is the solution?

Whoops. i don't know why I pressed the "Thank you"-button xD
For casual users: Nothing, wait until HTC releases a new update.
Chef gtg465x has provided a fix in "ROM Development"-section, but you need to root your phone and use CWM etc. If you're not familiar with these things, you better don't try to fix it.

I suppose that only helps when you have the problem of your phone dropping wifi signal when it is below -88? Then I don't think this will solve my problem, as my signal strength is ~-60 and the wifi connection itself works fine but just doesn't connect to the internet after the update.
EDIT:
My problem has been solved
It appears that my phone does not get the right information about the Default Gateway when using DHCP as it was set to 0.0.0.0. After setting the phone to use a static IP I could change the Default Gateway and solve the problem.
Now the question is, why doesn't my phone get the right Default Gateway from my server after updating the phone to 2.3.3?
iep thats my prob ...
Where can i find the signal strength of wifi in DHD ??
When i'm near my router, activating wifi on phone, it only tells "excellent" but there are no values.
Thanks for your advice

1. Open the Phone app
2. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
3. You should now be in the Testing menu
4. Click Wifi information
5. Click Wi-Fi Status
6. Look at the number behind RSSI

Wow, thats the reason, why i love this forum. Thank you very much. Your answer came blazing fast.
The value tells -57 to -60 (pressing on 'Refresh Stats') sitting directly near the antenna of my router
I can't evaluate, if these values are good or bad.
Would be nice to know, which range is good and which range might result in connection problems.
Thank you

Those are pretty good numbers I believe. I am usually getting between -52 and -70 when sitting in my room, which is about 6m away from my router (and through 2 walls). Apparently, anything lower than -88 is bad with the new 2.3.3 update as the phone loses wifi connection at that value.

Ahh i understand. So lower values are better than higher ones.
I heard, that it depends on the radio. I flashed 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 used with 2.3.3 (MDJs VivoSense 2.1) and it works very good. (no wifi drops at all).
GPS is fast as well. After some seconds i get about 8-10 satellites.

This is pretty annoying problem, why did HTC changed it when it worked good and making it worse?
try wifi fixer from market.its pretty good.write here pls if u have ay probl.
Im having some problems with the wi-fi connection. When it first conects, everything goes ok, but when I start to download anything, the connection just stops responding, even tough it looks like conected. What should I do?
I'm having the same problem and couldn't find the solution, did any solve the problem?
Wifi problem on MS2
After months of researching and suffering the pain I still have not got a full solution for my MS2. My wifi problem is that it connects well, great wifi speed on my home network. But after a couple of minutes there's no more internet access even though it shows that its connected. I chanced upon this link laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/motorola-droid-2.aspx?page=4 where it had the same problem brought up. It had a solution/fix which I do not want to use though. Further information can be found on the droidforums link on that page. What I have been doing all along is the same as what the guys at laptopmag has been doing, just reconnect whenever internet is down. Irritating yeah, but don't really have any other option..
Hope someone does have a proper solution :X
In addition to the sporadic troubles loading some sites with Flash elements, we had a much more persistent problem maintaining Wi-Fi connectivity. On three different routers, the Droid 2 would connect and then, after a few minutes, would continue reporting that it was connected but stop downloading data. The solution to the problem, once you notice it, is to disconnect from the router then reconnect, but that is a huge hassle.
Our original Droid experienced the same Wi-Fi problem so many times that we eventually gave up and resolved to use 3G only. However, after searching through several Droid forums and finding dozens of posts from other users who experienced the same problem on first-gen Droids and Droid Xs, we found a possible solution that seems to have worked with the Droid 2. After we changed the settings on our 802.11n router from mixed mode to 802.11g only, we did not experience the problem again, though we had to operate all of our computers on the slower 802.11g speed, which is unacceptable.

in my case all I had to do was port forward som port i dont remember
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
I installed the BlurLess GB rom and the problem is now gone.
Btw, my router @ home is G only, so the solution posted did not apply for me.
i have trouble to connect to wifi. have problem connecting to wifi where other phones, NB dont its just showing low signal... can someone hlp?? thx in advance
How many "bars" do you get when sitting right next to (3 feet/1 meter) a wireless router?
its full but when i go further like next room it drops to one bar and disconnects. thats my wifi at home and when i want to connect to someones wifi i have one bar where he has full ... would it work if i go to winodows mobile 7 or i checked forums and there is a way to enable 802,11n and it should fix the range of the wifi

looks like ur having the same problem as he is. check this thread and read thru post #5 to last.

+ check if you can get any BLUETOOTH connection (pairing)
if it fails...definately a loose cable issue as i mentioned in that thread.
BT is working perfect even in range where wifi makes problems so i dont think the cable is the problem. if im in one meter distance wifi get full bars but when i check the signal longer it drops to half and back to full. so when the signal is half or less it drops below range and the connection failes. can you tell me whats the max distance of the wifi in HTC HD2??? have the phone in warranty so will try that but dont think they accept this so trying to solve it my self...
depends on the router
is it possible to buy better wifi chip to my phone?
my router is D-link dsl 2641R
I stopped using my phone wifi for months now, heres my problem...
>Phone is able to detect my wifi at any range but won't connect it.
>I can only connect to wifi within 2 meters from the router.
>After connected, wifi signal strength didn't drop as move further away from the router but get disconnected after about 2 or 5 meters.
>GPS, bluetooth, and others works fine.
I tested other routers and different roms, results are the same...
If you have the same problem as mine and able to find a way fix it, I'd be thankful if you can share it here.
Thank you

Either that, or your WiFi card is damaged.

Yea, but gonna try what i can do first before sending it for repair or getting new phone instead
UPDATE:
Well...somehow after these months staying with stock rom, the wifi suddenly got back working again.
I Tried reboot several times and connect wifi frm far away to confirm it, and it seems to be fine now, don't know what happened, but i hope it stays fine.
