Hey there!
I've been having difficulty connecting to my 2 wireless routers at home, it was an on and off thing for a while but it has been now a couple of weeks ever since I last was able to connect.
Weird thing is, a friend of mine with the same phone and firmware came over yesterday and connected just fine.
I'm running 2.2
Baseband: i9000XXJPP
Build Number: FROYO.XXJPO
Any ideas?

Hey guys, the newest 3.2 update (not the first one but the second one that came out) messed up my Wifi and now I can't connect to it. I've turned off/one my roouter+modem, wifi on tablet, tablet itself, and re-added the network multiple times and nothing seems to work. What happens is that I add the network and it would try to connect and authenticate but then it just retries connecting again and then all the available wifi networks are gone. It's a mess. And it happened a few times where it would finally connect but then no webpage would open after a few minutes and the wifi bars on the bottom right turn from blue to grey. Wtf. How the hell can Samsumg mess up something like that? And no it's not my wifi since it works perfectly fine with alllll of my other devices.
I just had exactly the same problem. 3.2 was working fine for a couple of days for me but now has difficulty connecting and when it does connect doesn't seem to be able to reach the internet. No issues with other devices. Time for a custom ROM?
Had also issues with wifi and the latest stock 3.2. It went away with Task 6.1 and probably the other custom rom also.
And now it is all working again.
Strange but worrying.......
On the contrary the wifi is better now with me. I used to have wifi issues after the TW update. The first days with stock Android I dont remember a single day dropping my wifi connection, but after TW update I sometimes picked my Tab to see "no internet connection". After 3.2 update it is just always on. I am quite happy with this update. If I ever see a drop in connection it is %100 router related which sometimes confuses and tries to assign the same the IP address to 2 different devices.
Here's my problem, and I've seen many problems with wifi here and on other forums but nothing exactly like this.
When I'm at work, my phone connects to the network over there without any problem but, every time I come home, it simply shows my network as "Not in range", even at 2 feet away from the router (WPA PSK security). I've tried turning wifi off and on, resetting my router, "forgetting" my network on the phone. Nothing does the trick unless, I restart my phone and then it connects automatically and stays connected until I leave.
Something strange I noticed tonight; I went to my son's hockey game and, at the arena, I noticed it still showed as connected to my home network!?!?!!?
I started noticing this issue a few days ago, after flashing the 4.2.2 image from Google. My phone is rooted and is running the latest clockworkmod recovery but otherwise, still stock.
Something else I just noticed; my Nexus 7 doesn't have the same issue...
Anybody else having the same issue? Any hints on what's going on?
I also have this issue. But I had the problem before 4.2.2
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Got to work this morning... wouldn't connect to the network here because... It was still connected at home, 40km away. That's a powerful router!
Any clues as to what might be the cause?
What brand/type of wireless router are you using? What type of security?
We gotta be more than 2 with this problem... I've seen so many issues with wifi with this phone on other threads... Weird
Last night I went to my parents and again, my phone wouldn't connect to their home network so, its definitely not my router. So I made a backup of all my apps and returned to 4.2.1 and voila, wifi problems are fixed, for now...
Hey Guys,
Just got my i9500 and solved a few setup issues but one I can't seem to resolve: The Wifi turns itself off even when it's set to "Always" in Settings>Connections>Wi-fi>Advanced>Keep Wi-fi on during sleep = Always.
Infact, as I'm typing this I'm realising that the Wi-FI is constantly connecting/disconnecting!
I'm running the stock ROM of 4.2.2 :
Baseband Version - I9500XXUBMG9
Kernal - 3.4.5-768420

Build number JDQ39.I9500XXUBMEA
Any thoughts?

As is always the way, as soon as I posted I stumbled across the potential fix!
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/566171-wifi-issues-disconnects-etc-fixed-me.html
Even though it was for the S3, the same options work on the S4 and "PSM" (Power Save Mode) was switched on and I've now set this to OFF.
Seems to be OK now.
Hope that helps someone else
If you find it happens again, try using a static IP (in the phone settings for the WiFi connection you're using) rather than DHCP.

Thanks for the idea but it's been rock-solid since the PSM change above.:good:
My router is Tp-Link Archer C20i working at dual bands 2.4 and 5 GHz. I bought it two days ago and the first day I brought it home, my Note 4 (SM-N910C) connected to it at both bands without any issues, providing me with a stable connection to the Internet. Yesterday, the problems started with the 5GHz band. My phone connects to the 5GHz network successfully, but it all ends there. I cannot access neither the setup page of the router, nor the Internet at all. The 2.4 GHz band works really well in comparison. I hadn't changed any settings, nor installed any apps.
Now my laptop, iMac 2008 and tablet Note 10.1 2014 edition work just awesomely well with the 5GHz band. I've browsed various sites and forums on the Internet and a similar problem seemed to have plagued both Galaxy S4 and Note 8, but the solution was to adjust the date and time. My phone doesn't have any issues with screwed up time and/or date.
I'm running the latest version of Lollipop 5.0.1, stock, no root. I've now tried to both downgrade back to KitKat and upgrade the phone to various firmware versions (and countries') to no avail. I've also upgraded my router's firmware to the latest version - it also didn't work.
Anyone stumbled across anything remotely similar? I appreciate any input.

I had this problem too, but I fixed it by turning off the wifi power saving mode and rebooting.
Did you try turning off the wifi power saving mode in *#0011# --> WiFi(top right) --> Toggle ON/OFF. Then reboot.
Hello All,
I've been using my S4 since the model was released and in general I'm very satisfied with it.
Earlier this year upgraded to Android 5.0.1 and all is good.
Now, the issue I'm having. Recently I got one of those cheap wi-fi repeaters
For some reason my phone stays connected to it for only few seconds then the wi-fi connection drops. I've tried connecting to the repeater with a laptop (HP Zbook 15) and all was good.
Also, I've noticed a lot of topics about S4 wi-fi issues with different wi-fi routers but till now I never had such.
So, my question is, has anybody used such repeater successfully with galaxy S4 (i.e. should I look for solution in my setup or its this model repeater's fault).
Thank you forward!
