Does anyone else have a problem where wireless tether seems to cause the network connection to become intermittent and sometimes a page won't load?

mines worked perfectly so far, and that's in an area with subpar reception too.
Ive got the latest version of wireless tether for the inc too. I know its not a signal problem, I have a Verizon tower 2 miles from my house and get great 3g reception indoors.

The new versions wifi has problems with me. The version that comes with the 10 minute root video/package, seems to work. I'm having a problem at the moment because I upgraded on accident with a new rom. In the process of trying to fix that.

I've had my x for about a week and a half now and am using the darkslide rom. I like it a lot but I am having a few issues. I don't know if it's related to the rom or something else.
First the wifi tether is slow. I get about .5 M on a good day. I used to tether on an htc hero and easily got triple with sprint. Also after tethering for ten minutes our so the data will just stop and I have to stop tether and restart to regain connection. I get 1.5M when I use the speed test app on my phone..
What is the deal with verizon visual voicemail? Do you have to pay for that? Just switched from sprint so I'm ignorant on that one.

And the signal strength indicator fluctuates from 1 bar to 4.

What app ate you using to tether with? I usually get 2.2 to 2.4 down. I do have issues with wireless tether losing connection when my screen goes into sleep mode sometimes but when I wake the screen my connection comes back up. Only happens occasionally. It seems to happen less with barnacle wifi tether.

I use WiFI tethering daily and I haven't seen a issue. I used to use the Wireless Tether App from Market and with that I did experience a couple dropouts and some slow speeds.... After I switched to the stock 3G Mobile WiFi App with Team Black Hats' patch I have had ZERO issues.

I'm using the wifi tether app from the market. I guess I'll do some searching to find out how to do the patch thing.
Thanks!

On average I get about 1.5mbps on my tether. Not to shabby I guess.
I only got my n7 a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately updated to 4.2. I didn't notice any issues. Immediately after the 4.2.1 update I keep getting random connection issues. I have to turn wifi off and on to resolve it.

I had the issue.. 32gb version in the US with the sep build. I actually had it prior to to 4.2.1. I ended up going into advanced properties and changing wifi to always on. Drains battery, but fewer need to turn wifi off and back on.

Yes. I have WiFi disconnects and random reboots since the new update .

WiFi Fixer
I use WiFi Fixer downloaded from Google Play. When the connection is dropped it automatically reconnects after a second or two.
Same on my 7 WiFi stops working at random times turn WiFi off and on fixes it, only started after 4.2.1 update

How do we make Google aware of these bugs?

My WiFi is always on and tethered to my evo3d at least 8 hours a day. Not a single problem under 4.2.1.

Just to clarify, i'm having this problem 100% stock. Not rooted what so ever. Roms/kernels could have this eliminated. But I wouldn't know.

No wifi internet / e-mail / notifications after 4.2.1
I am having a similar issue. Stock Nexus 7, never rooted, installed the 4.2.1 update when it was pushed. Since then I can connect to wifi connections but there is no internet access. While the icon in the upper right has small flashing arrow like data is being sent back and forth, the icon remains gray and no internet-requiring services on the tablet work. I've tried everything that I (and Google Play and Asus support) could think of with no luck.
The only thing they could come up with at the end was to restore the tablet to factory settings. Unfortunately I have application data that I need to back up that I can't access by accessing the internal storage using my laptop (I'm stock, remember?).
So I'm between a rock and a hard place here. Anyone have any suggestions? It was very frustrating when the Asus representative suggested I use the built-in backup and restore feature:
Me: "That requires internet access to work right?
Asus representative: "Oh....right..."
My Wi-Fi on both my Nexus 7's is very slow. They stay connected fine but I'm getting about 150kbps download speeds. I factory reset one of them to no prevail. Anyone have any insight on this or heard of others with this issue? All my other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi connection and I tried turning everything else off so just the Nexi where connected to see if the speeds are faster, but they aren't. I'm stock on both devices and both are the 16gb version, one older than the other.

Known issue. I logged a bug with Google and there's actually several open bugs reporting wifi issues. So far, none of the bugs are being picked up by google officially.

I've tried this same thing, and as soon as I installed 4.2, WiFi went to sh**. Completely stock.
So turning wifi off then on seems to be the generally excepted quick fix?

Or use Static IPs. That solved it for me. I had to ask my company to provide a reservation for my MAC Address. It's like back in the 90s when Wifi started coming out using the BellLabs/Lucent chipset.
So when I lock my Nexus 7, my wifi will drop after a minute or so, and in order for it to stay on I have to keep the screen unlocked and on. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? Thanks.

Should have clarified, I have it set to stay on.
This is a well documented issue and has just happened on 4.2.1. I have the same issue and looking for a fix

I'm stock rom, rooted, cwm recovery, 4.2.1. My wi-fi is rock solid perfect. Some issues that have caused problems are the encryption method (wpa seems best), too long or special characters in the network password, outdated firmware on the router, reset of router needed, static ip seems to help some.
I recently bought my wife a nexus 4 abs she's been having a problem where when she disconnects from wifi her mobile network won't connect, it says 4g but it's greyed out. I know she should still have connection but she doesn't, everything just times out. Only thing that fixed it was a reboot, anyone else experience this issue? And she's on stock rom, not rooted.

No worries it'll reconnect to the servers.

This only happens to me when my WiFi connection decides to disconnect! Both my Service and WiFi gray out when my WiFi does not work. I have a terrible at&t internet service! But other than that it works properly.

Does it just never turn blue after turning off wifi? Its supposed to turn off mobile data when wifi is on to save battery. It could just be an issue with your carrier
Well like I said a reboot does fix it, from what I understand it's just when disconnecting from wifi. The time interval was about 10 minutes and her mobile data still wasn't connected. We're on tmobile btw. I thought it might just be an n4 issue, I don't experience that issue on my one.
