Has anyone had any wifi problems, mine was OK yesterday but today it drops the wifi but then joins back as soon as I click the wifi in the notification bar. I'm just thinking if its because my battery is low or is it a common problem.

I've had this issue with a speedtouch router, but didn't have it with a netgear DG834
Does it have full signal?
Yes its full but then just drops altogether. I have charged it now and seems to be OK so not sure if it was because of low bat or mabee just a hiccup

Go to your wireless setting and then click Wi-Fi disconnect policy.
Set it to "never disconnect". You can also set it to Never while plugged in if you have the cable connected. Some routers will have trouble auto-negotiating if your device has a sleep/disconnect policy set.
That or it's some other weird issue like a low battery/wi-fi issue like you said.
I had this happen once while I was using the touchpad to scroll down a website. Was anyone also using the dock touchpad when it happened? I thought I found a gesture that turns off the WiFi. Of course, this has only happened once in about 10 hours of use.

I had a similar issue and the new firmware released today fixed it for me.

I am 3.1 and not root but my Wifi keep droping off once in a while when the tab in sleeping mode. I set it to never disconnect and have to reboot because it kept scanning and wouldn't find it till reboot. Any suggestion?

I have dropping wifi issue, and i had to disconnect and connect again without rebooting. This happened since 3.1 update. I think this may be caused by decrease in wifi driver version.
I also posted this issue on another thread (issue with 3.1) and hopefully ASUS rep will see and fix this issue.
Since 3.1 I am also having this issue and its pissing me off Hope for a fix soon.
Now I'm having wifi issues as well... My wifi will automatically turn off... When I tried to re-enable wifi, the wifi setting will say "turning off" and grey out... Only way to recover was to power cycle..
Now I'm starting to worry about 3.1 update... I wish that I can downgrade to 3.0.1 without any major force close issues.
my gf has this issue with her tablet resuming from sleep mode, just throw it in airplane mode, wait 5 secs n turn off airplane mode.
This new-with-3.1 issue has been mentioned in a couple of other threads.
Now... if only we noobs had a clear way of reporting significant bugs (like this!) to the appropriate folks at ASUS.
Yes I have been having the same problem. Just started today.
same to me~~ the wifi keeps dropping randomly, I want a fix!!!
Me too

Ever since 3.1 update, I too have problems with wifi disconnecting. Seems to happen most often after I wake from sleep. I have the wifi set to stay on all the time, doesn't help. After waking from sleep, flipping the wifi off (airplane mode) and on again seems to fix the problem.

i'm havig the same issue,wifi drops, when the tablet is sleeping, I have to discoonnect, then connect again to get it working. Wifi speed also seems slower with 3.1.
Possible Fix
While fiddling with my router I just made the discovery that when changing the channel to 12 or 13, the signal dropped out. Channels 1-11 worked fine. When set to 'auto' detect the signal occasionally drops out. I assume that when on auto it is occasionally accessing channels 12+13 and that is the cause of the problem. So for those having wifi signal problems try setting up a specific channel in your router settings and see if it makes any difference for you. I hadn't any problems before the 3.1 update, but Asus seem to have rolled back the wifi driver, and I guess this has affected a fair few users.
My device is running stock 3.1, never fiddled with the system in terms of rooting, ever. It's a WW sku device.
Obviously this shouldn't happen. And most likely wont affect US users as they don't have these channels. It may not be a fix for you but hopefully it will help someone running a non US build.

After upgrading to JK4 via Kies I've noticed some strange Wi-Fi behaviour. It seems to manifest at different times and for no apparent reason, so I'm starting a thread to see if a) anyone else has this issue and b) if so, how does it manifest for them.
First manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" but the Wi-Fi symbol did not turn green. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was showing "Error". A reboot of the phone fixed it, temporarily.
Second manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" and the Wi-Fi symbol turned green, but it did not connect to my wireless network automatically like it should. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was rapidly switching from a "Turning on" state to "Turning off". It did this about 10-15 times in a few seconds then went to "Error". Turning on and off the Wi-Fi again solved this issue.
Every time I solve this it seems to come back within a 24 hour period. I didn't have this problem (from what I can see) on JK3. I factory reset before and after flashing to JK4, and I flashed JH2 back just to be on the safe side beforehand.
Let the discussion begin!

I quickly tried out after reading your post, and I did confirm your first issue happening, but only when I turn my Wi-Fi on and off really quickly. Also my phone didn't lock up as you described either. Basically, I could only make that issue to surface once I turn off the Wi-Fi, and then turn it back on as soon as my phone reports it is disconnected. When I go into Wi-Fi settings, it does say "Error" there, but if I check the "Wi-Fi" there again, it connects automatically.
I almost never use Wi-Fi because I get 6GB of data, but I can see this becoming a very annoying issue if you have to use Wi-Fi frequently.
Edit: Actually, I ran into a different issue just now. I kept on playing around with my Wi-Fi, and confirmed this happening: Wi-Fi text turns to "ON" but the icon doesn't turn green. When I go into settings, it says "Turning Wi-Fi On.." or something similar and is stuck there. I wasn't able to turn on nor off the Wi-Fi. Reboot fixed issue...for now I guess.
I have also had this issue but I believe it has to do with trying to turn on wireless when your preferred network has a very weak signal. When I'm next to my router, I can turn wi-fi on and off rapidly with no issues. I have only had the issue in my room which has a much weaker signal.

i was having problems with my wifi today...i wasnt able to pickup any wifi signals and i couldnt manually turn the wifi on either...i got a few force closes on some apps and decided to reboot the phone, hopefully sovling the problem...instead i got stuck in the boot loop at the i9000m logo and now my internal sd card is done....hopefully i can return this pos at bell(im on rogers) and do a hup through rogers for the iphone4...at least thats a stable device.

I've never tested right beside the router, but my room is next to the room which has the router so I would think I'd have a fairly strong signal.
Interesting, though...

I find my wifi on my phone to be pretty solid.
I have an occasional issue where it does not see my wifi router at work, but all I do is turn it off / on and off she does. Just happens with the work router. Never had an issue with my linksys at home.
I've experience this issue with JH2 and it was caused by a change to fast in the settings. Just give your phone some time to connect and get identified on the network before you turn it off ans don't torn it on right after you disconnect it and you should be fine.
Been having the same issues since upgrading to JK4. Wifi gets stuck in "enabling" state occasionally when it try to turn it on. Sometimes I have to go as far as restarting the phone to get it to work again. Not a huge deal but still a nuisance.
I have seen both of these situations occur once after applying JK3 from Odin. It was shortly after booting it up for the first time including the "ERROR" text. I attributed it to a one-time glitch and it has not come back since. When I am home I force WiFi on and leave it in that state until I leave the house for work the following day so I am not constantly messing with the settings.
I get a similar issue butt only when activating my mobile AP.

I've been having a similar issue with my wifi since upgrading to JK4. I've gotten the "error" message on enabling wifi, but as others have mentioned it may be because I'm re-enabling it too quickly after turning it off. However, in one instance yesterday I tried re-enabling it several times after turning it off via the control widget and was ultimately forced to reboot before it worked again. Also, this morning I found that after leaving home and coming to work, I was still only seeing the wifi hotspots near my apartment rather than the ones in my new location (one of which I have saved and automatically connect to). I had to reset the wifi to find the local hotspots. Other than these wifi issues, I'm really loving JK4 so I just hope they get sorted out.
It is not big problem but really annoying.
Every time I lock it and after 3~4 hours it just won't wake up.
Edit:
Problem seems gone after I back to stock and upgrade to 3.2 with OTA.
Running stock 3.1 and have the same problem, sometimes it wakes up and other times it don't. I can try to wake up in 5 min and it may and most times not.
Have been turning off wifi and then putting to sleep and that seems to work so far.
Turning off wifi don't work for me, even when screen goes off in 5 min, it won't come back on.
I also noticed that every time wifi will lose connection after being locked.
I've set the wifi policy to "never turn off" but still not working.

I've never had any problems with auto shutdowns or losing wifi connection. I use Kikinash's stock 3.2 com gen2 rom. I've noticed many posts from people with gen1 and/or mixed custom roms having issues.

Yes. I am using lightspeed which based on gen1.
Stock 3.2, the same problem.
But, after I kill Skype and turn off rotation lock, I don't have this problem for an entire day. Today is the second day, and I need to go back home to confirm this problem disappears.
I think it is because of rotation lock. Or my kittens shut of my tablet...

if this fixes yours, I may actually have to root. The deep sleep thing is annoying.
I had 3 problems:
reboot somme minutes after screen off
loosing wifi connection
loosing System Tuner boot settings
I've switched from System Tuner Pro to Setcup and now no more problem
Maybe the problems we could meet are rather coming from some applications than from ROM or Kermel.

+1 on that. I haven't seen a sleep bug since 3.01 on stock.
had this problem on stock 3.1 installed custom rom working fine now
I reflashed the stock ROM and leave it with no app installed.
SHUT DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!
I don't know what to do now. Is this a hardware problem?
Different things seem to all work temporarily. I tried changing the wifi policy to always on and that works for a day. Then I'll change the position of the rotation lock and that will work for a day. Then I installed a wifi toggle gadget and turned it off each time I slept the tablet, and that worked for a day. But none of it seems like a permanent fix.
Most likely it's a hardware issue. I have my rotation locked on landscape, wifi set to sleep when the screen turns off, running rooted near-stock gen1 3.2 (before that I had the 3.0.1 and 3.1 installed OTA and rooted). Does the tablet switch off while plugged in? If not maybe there is a problem with the battery failing to supply power from time to time.

I've been getting it since using taboonay with richard trip's 3.7 kernel, before that I might have had it a couple times in 6 or 7 months.
Ok, i have been having this problem for a few months now and i have finally got fed up with it.
Whenever i try to connect to one of the many wifi spots on my campus or the one at my home, or pretty much any wifi spot, a few minuets later it will just drop, for no reason (and sometimes the wi-fi itself will just turn off for no reason after an hour or so.). And then when i go to the wifi options and ask it to re-connect, it just sits there and does nothing, no matter how much i tap it will not do nothing unless i turn wifi on and off, and even then the chance of reconnecting is slim, and when it does re-connect it usually just drops again.
I tried using the Wifi fixer app but it does not seem to help, and the log file i had it create cannot be opened for some reason either or is corrupted.
What im wondering is why does it do this, what is causing it? Is there some kind of log file or console where i can see what exactly is going on when it tries to connect to wi-fi so i can pinpoint the problem? anyone else have this problem and found a fix?
My nexus 7 is the 16GB version Wi-fi only. It has never been rooted or hacked in any way.
Same problem here. I've done research and apparently it seems like a common problem? It's driving me nuts especially when I'm trying to watch Netflix. My Nexus 4 has no issues...
Well if there is a kernel or ROM out there that fixes this i am just going to go ahead and root, because i have a feeling that google wont release a fix until android key-lime pie, if that even makes it to the nexus 7
Decided to install N a few days ago and test it out, everything was going fine but after returning home from work today my wifi will not reconnect. I've added the info for my wifi back in several times, the phone says the network info is saved, but it never connects or even appears in the list. Don't really feel like wiping again right now, so did anyone else run into this and manage to fix it? Any ideas? I've already tried all the usual stuff, but no luck.

Apologies if this is a silly response but is N official? I thought it was a beta? I'm assuming if that's the case then you'll get variable success with connectivity and functionality.
Do got have the most up to date vendor and is the kernel your using optimised correctly or should you expect issues!

Definitely not a bug. I have been using the preview since day one, and WiFi is working completely fine. Here's what you can try - wipe cache from recovery. And then if it still doesn't show up, you may try resetting your router settings.
I have faced such issue, but that would be subjected to all my devices connected to that specific router. Caused generally by lousy internet connectivity, or some router issues.
I had already tried doing both those things but the problem still persists. I guess I'll just have to try a factory reset or wait for the next update and see if it resolves itself.

The next update is near. In case you can't wait, factory/reset would be good option.
Went ahead and rolled back to MM and everything was working well, then I reinstalled N and wifi was again working without issue. I just returned home from an interview though and wifi will not detect my network again. SSID is still saved, but won't appear in the list or connect. Did a cache wipe from recovery, re-entered my wifi info, reset modem and router, but still no luck. So it appears to be something that I can replicate, and only with N. Here's hoping the next update fixes it.
I'm on the N beta preview 3, and my wifi will randomly stop working on my 6P. I have to switch it back each and every time. Also, when I return home, my 6P won't automatically reconnect to wifi like it did on MM. Definitely seems like a bug.
I am using the latest preview. Wi-Fi won't connect. It shows both the 2.4 and 5 ghz options as saved, but it won't use either one. Older version of Android connects fine to same router. I have a NetGear router.
same issue
Yes I would like to report having this issue as well on the 6P in N beta. I have a 5x on MM in one hand 6P on N beta in the other . 5x has connection fine 6P does not using 3 different routers.
Android N on 5x experiencing same issue. Any resolution?
I can report the same. Has anyone discovered a fix?

Mine works well however if you turn it off and then travel away from your router with wifi off; it will fail to reconnect upon returning to your home wifi and turning it back on. Do you ever turn your wifi off for an extended period of time?

WiFi Issue
Don't know if related. In my case, cannot turn on/off wifi. Even while of it shows the progress bar as if it was looking for networks. Have no wi-fi at this point and unenrolling from the beta isn't sending me the rollback to marshmallow. This on a Nexus 6P
Temporarily fix
I found a temporarily fix till the next update (hopefully) fixes it. Hop to advanced setting and click on wps button. Wait for 5-10 second then click cancel. Hop back to wifi list and you should find your SSID. Sometimes it won't connect even though it's saved and appears in the list. What you want to do is keep clicking on connect. This should help, atleast it does for me. Nexus 5X on Android N.
So, I have been having some extremely frustrating issues with the WiFi on my 6P. I got my phone in January and I have been super happy with it except for this one issue. Since I got it, I was using the stock OS up until the April security patches came out. Before the patches, I had some issues, but the phone was still mostly usable. Especially after that update, however, I have been faced with two very irritating WiFi issues.
When my phone goes to sleep, the WiFi connection inevitably drops out. Sometimes, the WiFi will still be active but not associated, but it will frequently have also switched itself off completely.
I can only stay connected to a network for about 30 seconds tops. The connection will just stall out and then reconnect after several seconds.
In an effort to get better performance, I decided to switch from the stock OS to PureNexus (which I used and loved on my old Nexus 5) and I also flashed the ElementalX kernel. For the first few days, the WiFi performance was rock solid, but slowly it got worse than it was on stock to the point of being unusable now. Now, here's what I have already tried/checked:
The "Keep WiFi awake during sleep" option in the Settings app is DEFINITELY set to Always.
This issue is not specific to any one network. It had occurred on every network that I've used and on 2.4G and 5G networks (although it seems to be worse on 5Ghz)
I tried turning the band selection off Automatic and choosing both 2.4 and 5 only options, both just seemed to make it worse.
I've removed all apps that I installed and checked logcat for any app info that might be related to the issue. All I see is just normal stuff and then BAM! The wifi driver states that it disassociated from the AP.
I tried installing WakeLock to hold WIFI_MODE_FULL at all times. This hasn't made much of a difference with it disassociating while the screen is off.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this? I am to the point now where I might have to send in my phone under the warranty because I don't know if it's just detective hardware or what at this point. The fact that it worked well after a clean install would seem to suggest that it isn't, but the fact that it persisted across two different ROMs suggests that maybe it is.
Either way, I am at a loss and I've exhausted all the diagnostic skill that I have trying to fix this because it's so damn frustrating when you're in the middle of doing something and you can't stay connected for 30 seconds. Any help or ideas would be appreciated immensely!
My issue is the wifi connects but no internet message
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Is this with different Access Points or just at a particular wifi spot? I would factory reset the device, reboot your router, make sure you don't have any odd settings on your router like modified channel bandwidth, etc. If the 6p doesn't stay locked on, it's a hardware issue and I would do a warranty claim. My 6p wifi has been money since January with every ROM.
