Xoom losing wifi connection.

Hi everyone, my dad has a Xoom on ics (official) 4.0.3 and it keeps dropping wifi connection. I tried static IP, dmz, and no difference. Wifi is working fine on my laptop, Motorola defy, HTC espresso, BB bold, etc. Any ideas? Router is a netgeat n600 wndr3700. Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue. I was using Skype for a video call and my wifi would drop every 15 minutes (or so). My phone would still be connected as well as my laptop. I noticed on my Xoom the wifi would completely drop a connection and then reconnect within 60 seconds. I've noticed at other times it seems to happen around once a day. I'm using a Linksys 600N dual band router but my Xoom is connected to the G band and not the N band. Hope we can find something that might fix this.

yeah i have the same issue when trying to stream anything from bbc iplayer. and im sure it isnt my isp because i am on a 50mb package.

I noticed this issue once my second xoom that arrived today registered to my network. I thought there was a conflict of some sort, so i just assigned each xoom their own individual IP via my routers Address Reservation feature. The problem is still there, but less often. Went from losing connection every few minutes, to every few hours or so.

Alright I'll try that

This is strange. Last night I went over to a friend's house and brought my Xoom along. While there I tried to go online with no success, although the lap top and my phone picked up the router signal. On the other hand my Xoom showed no wifi signal and wouldn't even scan for one. Came home the next morning and all is good with the Xoom's wifi scan and connections. There are times when my Xoom will not find a wifi signal right away but will find one later. I'm on nightly #81.

This is what I did to fix this, yrmv:
On my router I changed it from "mixed a/b/g/n" to "n only" and I have had a steady connection on both xooms for the past two days.

The WNDR3700 is a piece of crap. I had the exact same router and it caused me all kind of trouble.
I solved my problems by installing openwrt on it. Every device on my home worked perfectly instantly.

A500 Disconnects from Hotspot connection every 12 mins

Hi, I'm having this problem with internet connection using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my Galaxy Nexus. My A500 connects without a hitch to the Nexus but after 12 mins (this happens after each connection),it disconnects then waits for about 20secs before establishing connection again. This can be annoying especially when streaming videos on the A500 which tends to result in starting the videos all over again ie after each disconnection.
What can i do to resolve this issue?
I'm on Stock Honeycomb 3.2.1 and not rooted. Thanks

are you sure it's not from the nexus the problem ?
I connect my tablet to my liquid metal I got disconnected only when the 3G goes down... but never the wifi.
check maybe setting wifi policy etc... maybe.
check your phone as well.
try another device I mean tablet to another device, another device to nexus...

The hotspot connection on GNexus seem to be active each time the internet connection on the A500 goes down. I've checked the wifi sleep policy on both devices. They are both set to "never (when on battery)". May be software on GNexus need to be updated in order for this issue to be resolved. I used to have an HTC Desire as a mobile hotspot device which worked though once A500 is inactive, the connection on the HTC ends.

im not sure exactly what one would be your best bet.. But on the phone. try d/loading a wifi/3g data usage and analyzer app. Something that can watch the data services and give a report on what is happening.
SORRY I cant give you a app name to try but i have not had any wifi/3g issues so not used one..
Good luck..

I have similar problem on my a500 . When I connect to my AP I usually get 4/5 bars but after some time without moving anywhere my signal drops slowly to 0 bars, tablet disconnects and reconnect after 1 sec with 4 bars. And so on... No idea how to fix that bug.

HOUSEM
That problem you speak about was an old HC bug...
the wifi drop
I got it, but on the version 3.2 that was resolved, and ACER released a kind of... patch about this year ago.
- Wifi work then when connect drop down to 0 and disconnect then try to reconnect... that was a problem from a file supplicant things. needed to be deleted.

I bet it's your phone software got a problem something like that. did you try to connect the tablet to another wifi and see how long stay connected...
my tablet is connected on a hotpot 24/7 nearly and got rarely disconnected.

The problem is,the connection on the phone is stable and everything that requires internet access on the GNexus seem to gain access to it. Also, when the tablet is connected to my home Wi-Fi, it never disconnects or drop signals. So, it seems the issue is between the A500 and the GNexus. Probably a software bug btw the hotspot on GNexus and the connection to A500 or the connections btw the two devices are incompatible due to one being on honeycomb and the other on ICS. Just my opinion anyway

You might be right about the GNEXUS cos when I was using an HTC Desire as a hotspot, there weren't any issues with connections. Probably, the next ics update for the GNEXUS might resolve the issue. Its a shame that I've already sold the HTC Desire.

Got simlar problem:

i've tried to connect it to my old Nexus S usinf hotspot wifi and the connection seems to be stable
Both Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S have cyano9 nightly
I was wondering if the issue is just caused by a switch from 2,4ghz signal to 5ghz...

Loosing internet connection over wifi

hi folks,
this happens both my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus from time to time. While connected to my home wifi they will loose internet connection. They are still connected to my router as i can ping devices on the network. I have to disconnect and reconnect to get net access back again. Im using WPA2 Personal encryption on the routher with tkip/aes
Anyone else experience anything simillar? I have no issues on my work wifi.. it stays connected all the time
Cheers,
Mick

I'm curious about this too. Been having the same problem. I've tried two different routers even went back to stock. I use shout cast on winamp when I sleep. Wakes me up when the music stops.

Its frustrating as my 7 and Galaxy Nexus are solid as a rock on wifi at work.. both experience the issues at home. I'll try boosting the power output as suggested here tonight and see how it goes
Comment 31 by lamyjeanfrancois, Aug 16, 2012
Changing home router to a wrt-based asus rt-n66u and boosting the output power to the maximum US allowed value of 100mW fixed it for me. Other devices were working fine, even lowly archos 28 mini tablets. It seems that jb is misinterpreting signal strength.
I dont want to run a static IP.

Some testing last night, i upped the output power on my ddwrt router - that didnt stop the issue from happening. Then i went with a static IP. This seemed more stable but i still lost connectivety at one point, only for it to return on its own - before i would have had to connect/disconnect from the access point to restore internet. More testing tonight.. its very frustrating! I dont think its a hardware issue as its happening with both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Anyone else having simillar issues?

Same here
I Experience the same, happens almost every hour or so.
All my other wi fi devices have no problems, just nexus 7

Hehehe it seems many of us having wifi range issue. I checked my wifi signal strength thru wifi analyzer app and it seems wifi is solid if only I always have more than -40dBm strength. Which means I needed to be always closer to the router, can't make it when I'm already at my room. Quite annoying but I guess I had to send it to service center.

Same problem here....
Weird thing is I have 2 routers connected to each other (dhcp off on second one), having same problem on both routers. I thought it was the internet connection as my HTC Desire does the same thing.
I also tested the nexus 7 wifi with my 3g Desire via hotspot.... and no issues at all for 3 hours+.
So i'm pretty sure its not a nexus issue, unless there are some compatability issues from my nexus to the router.
Ideas anyone?

using static IP at home seems to be stable.. cant understand what different though between work and home that it works fine in the office.. must be a config parameter on my access point at home

WiFi disconnects often?

I'm really happy with the phone so far, but my wifi disconnects fairly regularly and I keep getting a force close on the SMCC Process (whatever that is). Anyone else having problems?

I just read the thread below this and that issue seems similar.
EDIT: I tried turning off the smart wifi, but it still loses connection. The phone still shows that it's connected to whatever wifi signal, but stops downloading. This happens both at home and at work, so I don't believe it's related to the router itself.

I'm seeing the same issue on mine as well. Noticed it last night playing Pandora via wifi. Would play like 3 songs then nothing. I would have to toggle wifi on/off to get Pandora playing again.

Sounds like basically the same thing. If I wait long enough, it comes back on its own, but it's faster to just cycle wifi or airplane mode once. It's fairly frustrating, and I even found myself just using 3G to do things last night instead of Wifi.

seems to be a known issue in other S4 forums:

Mixed Mode WIFI
I had this exact same problem with my EVO 4G LTE, the problem was the mixed mode WIFI. (B,G,N). On the EVO it turned out to be an easy fix because there was a setting in the WIFI menu to force either B or G. As soon as I selected one mode I had a solid internet connection. The problem here is there does not seem to be an option in the S4 settings to allow this. I have been trying to force single mode on my router to see if that will fix it but my router will not allow me to turn it off either. Pretty serious bug I would say.

WIFI worthless on brand new S4

it doesn't do it as often as it did with the SGS3 though

I really wish I could find a resolution to this. I'm thinking of wiping my phone and starting over to make sure it isn't an app issue, but man that's a lot of work.

Im having the same issue as well.. Im almost positive its common issue and i would expect it to be addressed in the next OTA

The common link seems to be DLink router. We have a Cisco Linksys router and it stays hooked up solid on that.

I have an Asus router. Don't know if there are usually problems with those or not, but I haven't had any prior issues.

I have a Cisco e4200 stock and a Asus running ddwrt operating as a wireless bridge to extend my network. I had to turn off mixed mode on both devices to resolve the issue. Hope that helps.

I have the same problem but I have Netgear routers. The one at my house works fine, but at my other location. The wifi drops.

Same problem on dlink

Adding my 2 cents because I have 2 S4's that I've been testing with and I'm getting mixed results... my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right!
I have 2 wireless routers at home:
- DLink DIR-655
- One provided by my ISP (Bell Canada; not sure of the model at the moment)
The DIR-655 is troublesome for BOTH S4 devices; they stay connected for a few minutes (or longer in some cases) but will always end up not transferring data even though they show as having a very strong signal. Turning wifi on/off always fixes the issue for a short period of time.
Knowing that there seem to be compatibility issues with the S4 and DLink router, I switched them both over to the Bell router. Now only one of the devices has the wifi issue described above.
I found it odd that changing the router being used fixed the issue for one of the devices but not the other. I'm now questioning whether one device has a hardware issue or not (doubtful on this, but worth questioning).
Both S4's have the most up-to-date firmware as do all of the routers in the house. No other devices (iPhones, laptops, apple tv, etc...) have any issues with the wifi.
I've tried resetting the routers, forgetting the wifi connection and setting it back up, rebooting the phone, smashing my head against the wall; nothing seems to have worked permanently.
Is it possible that this is a hardware issue and not a software issue? Has anyone else had similar results with multiple devices?

fix....?
this wifi drops are due to the router WIFI signal setting. it will drop it you are using a B/G Mixed signal/ B/G/N Mixed signal. i recommend setting it on 802.11 g. or, if all your Devices in the house have N use N since it has more bandwidth. i use G because of the PS3
Hope this helps resolve the issue for you guys, it sure did for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can attest that this wasn't a permanent solution for me. After switching to N mode only, the amount of times the issue occurred was reduced, but still happens at least once per day.
It's also a pain when I'm connected to networks where I have no control over the wireless settings (work, public networks, friends networks).

I have a linksys modem and router. Haven't had a single connection issue with this phone as I had with my EVO. As my wifi disconnects and reconnects right away. Lol. First time that has happened. Knocked on wood.

[Q] Kit Kat Wifi Issues

With 4.2.2 I had no issues with wifi and can still go back to that version and have no issues, but with version 4.3 and 4.4 I have had and still have the following problem.
I have a list of known wifi connection points as well as available access points. Everything appears as it should, but the wifi will not automatically connect to any wifi (protected or unprotected/known or previously unknown) without first turning the wifi off and back on. Additionally, this only works if the persistent background wifi option is toggled off. If I do toggle the wifi on and off and connect to an available access point everything is fine so long as I remain in range and stay connected. If I go out of range and lose the connection, when I next reenter the range and the access point shows up on the list it will not connect unless wifi is cycled on and off. This happens every single day at work and home, although there is a workaround, it is quite annoying to have to cycle the wifi off and on. The networks will show as available and if I click on them and try to force it to connect, it still won't work unless I cycle on and off.
I have seen prior threads with this issue on 4.3 and there was a topic in the official Google issues page and was frankly hoping desperately that 4.4 would fix it, but alas, it has not. I know it is not the device itself since reverting back to 4.2.2 solves the problem.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix to this wifi issue that doesn't involve reverting to an older version of android or some kludged together solution?

Ya.. I have also been facing this problem since i have installed KitKat 4.4 on my i9300

Are you stock? Maybe try another ROM? I had the exact same problem, but my problem was my wifi AP.
1- My router was setup for a/b/g/n, I set it to only what I really had using the Wifi AP, which was g/n
2- I had a weird cable modem to router to Wifi AP setup. The router was handing out IPs, not the Wifi AP. I removed the router and only let the Wifi AP give IP addresses (DHCP). It seemed like the "further hops" away that the DHCP addresses were, the more issues i had with my Android connection.
No other devices on my network had these issues, but doing the above made a world of difference.
All that made my connections lightening quick, no issues at all since then.

odd Wifi behaviour
I got a refurbished delivered N10 last evening, came with 4.2.2, played with it a little, did a network benchmark test (FTP off a LAN NAS) and was getting comparable peformance to my other fastest system (a Thinkpad Ubuntu laptop). It seemed stable but I only used it for like an hour as 4.2.2. I was getting FTP of max 4MB/s over a N-router.
I then let it OTA to 4.3 and then played with it for some hours. Issue I found was the Wifi would work and then have "authentication problem" I had to turn Wifi off then on to make it connect to router. I've had that issue with other devices at times. I was thinking of staying on 4.3 to allow 4.4 to have another bugfix (its not been long out on N10) but I had a key issue for me (PPP Widget didn't work) so I did a stock 4.4. flash upgrade.
On 4.4. the Wifi speed is still fast, but periodically it just stops working, a glitch.
One key thing that stands out is the N10 is connecting at much higher Mbit speeds than any other of my devices, it is showing 130Mbits vs say 20-65Mbits on other devices. I'm wondering if my N10 is "too good" for my router an old low-spec refurbished model (Cisco E1200 v2, which I flashed to latest DD-WRT) ?
I'm not so far disappointed with network performance, just network stability, but I can't tell for sure if its the N10's fault or my router's fault. I'll play with settings a while til I find something stable.

When I first got my N10 I had a lot of trouble with wifi connection. Mostly authentication issues, or it would authenticate but not have internet access. It was frustrating, and Google's support was clueless.
I then tried using wireless tether from my N4 and it worked as it should. The issue ended up being the Arris router that Time Warner uses. I bought a Linksys router and have had 0 issues since. So if you're using an Arris router, or it shares the same chipset, that might be the issue.
The router is the Arris DG860.

Good anecdote.
Well in our house, the proliferation of gadgets has changed progressively to a large number, I make it 14 devices from an initial 2 devices 5 years ago. I count 4 wired and my 4 devices, my son's 2 and my daughter's 3 and my wife's 1. They all compete for router bandwidth, Wifi spectrum, router CPU / cache.
What I might do with this high-performance (capability and demand N10) is segment my network using an old G router I hard fix to non-overlapping channels from N-router, and connect the low-spec devices to the G and high-spec to the N. That will involve no $ and naturally reduce congestion. I run a NAS and download media to it and then stream to gadgets off NAS so I'm Wifi-limited often more than Internet-limited, and even tweaking I get 2MB-4MByte (16Mbit~32Mbit) off a NAS is making my typical LAN speed the same as the Internet bandwidth I buy (16Mbit).
My NEtbook (EEE 1015PN) if it ever felt a Wifi hiccup it would lock-out that frequency and so not see the router til I powered off netbook and remove battery.
I do wonder if some of the N10 Wifi complaints are really just generic or bad combinations with router or "straw that broke the camel's back".

I'm having wifi issues with my N10 as well. I had a few wifi issues at work, but not at home while using 4.3. Now with 4.4 I'm having serious wifi connection issues both at work and at home. In fact my N5 running 4.4.1 is having issues connecting to wifi both at work and at home. Not as often as my N10, but it still happens. I'm running stock on both and have no problem connecting to either network with my laptop.
I've installed wifi fixer, but so far it doesn't seem to be helping much. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be done to fix this that doesn't involve rooting either device?

I'm now running 4.4.2, and I'm experiencing better wifi connectivity, but it still drops out more than it did on version 4.3. Is anyone else having this issue?

Some of your problems might be just coincidence, something changed in your area around the same time as you upgraded. Some of these are just the wrinkles of firmware of device vs firmware of router, some combinations work bad and isn't really "fault" of Android in that you can't test every combination. You could wait for a fix from Android... or just try to avoid the wrinkle by changing settings on the router. A common thing is to move the router from auto to fixed channel and fix to 20mhz narrow. Go the place you mostly are with the N10 and use a Wifi analyser to find the least-congested channel and then set the router to that. What that does is reduce channel-hopping and gives less opportunity for firmware issues on both router and the Android device.
I also had a problem with my N7 when I moved house. The answer was to flash DD-WRT on my router and the problems went away.
So either wait+complain or go look at your router now.
Right now I have DD-WRT on an old refurbished Cisco E1200 and I set it to channel 3 with 20mhz and I got very good Wifi performance. With the stock Cisco firmware I was getting Android Wifi drops and poor performance. Yes, that's partly Android's fault but I fixed it myself quicker flashing firmware on the router.
I also took opportunity in DD-WRT to setup IPTABLES for a transparent proxy so all the devices in my LAN now share a large harddrive as http cache so e.g. any downloads from Play store for say my N4.... is cached to my N10 so I only ever download anything once.
If you have issues still with the N10, then what I find solves a lot of problem is do a stock flash of 4.4.2, on setup untick all the backup+restore from Google, then manually install and configure yourself to make it "vanilla". That often fixes accumulated wrinkles unique to your history of your device and places to more mainstream with less likely of having a unique problem. I do that on all my Android devices now (N4, N7, N10).

Similar wifi problems here
I've had similar issues with my N10.
I will have fast internet speeds (30+ Mbps) and it will just freeze. I'll be watching youtube and it will start buffering. Doing a speed test on my phone shows the speeds as normal. It makes no difference whether connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wifi.

I just resolved my WiFi issue this past weekend. Connectivity is rock solid
Here is what I did I.
Purchased my own cable modem/router. New router had updated firmware. time warner cable modem did not.
Change beacon interval from 100 to 20 on router and repeater.
Made sure router was on a less congested channel.
All is rock solid
YMMV

Great! Often just tweaking settings can do wonders. I flashed DD-WRT on mine and it solved a lot of issues on an old low-spec router.

Hey Guys,
I posted this in General section but saw this so I will add this info:
I just want to share what and why I did it. First off I did not have problems with my wifi on 4.2.2 with the Nexus10. the second that I went to Slim Kat and Vanir 4.4.2 I had weak wifi signal at work and at home when my nexus 7 slim kat and my galaxy note 2 Vanir did not. I noticed that RAM was also weird on the nexus 10. Even though it showed 2gb of ram on the specs it was only showing 1099 on 4.4.2 when I show that I have 1647 ram available with 4.2.2.
Concerning the OS using Ram. Google said that they would make Kit Kat more RAM friendly but I was using 535mb of RAM for 4.4.2 and right now I am showing only 357.3 mb for 4.2.2. I am using the same apps launchers and screen savers
I just flashed back to 4.2.2 this morning so I will update later, I do see an improvement in the wifi though.
I just want to say that I love Slim Kat and that is why I am on the 4.2.2 I just think Google somehow hosed up the wifi on the Nexus 10.
B][/B] Ok so I am at work and have went back and forth between 4.4.2 and 4.2.2. the 4.4.2 connects and disconnects back and forth. When it does connect to router but it says poor connection and it is only 24mbps. "It drops way more than connected" I am 45 ft from router in an open environment.
The 4.2.2 Slim Kat has a fair connection with 78 Mbps and has not dropped once. So I don't know what the difference is with Kit Kat compared to Jelly Bean but for my nexus 10 my wifi is great now with Jelly Bean. I wish I could figure out why and fix but I do not know programming.
I also installed on both 4.4.2 and 4.2.2 a app called WiFi Connection Fixer *Root* by ZEXTR. It did not help 4.4.2 but it did help with 4.2.2. this app helps connect to poor connections or when Android says avoided poor connection.
I don't know why the Nexus 10 is having issues with wifi with KitKat but I wish I could fix it. So I will be on 4.2.2 until a new version comes out and I will test it to see if it fixed it.
update; I have used 4.2.2 all day with the wifi connection fixer and I have not dropped wifi once and the download speed is fast. It is much faster than what 4.4.2 was, at least on my tablet.

Nexus 10 4.4.3 WiFi Bottleneck Problem
Hello there everyone,
I just wanted to confirm that I personally found a fix on my end for my Nexus 10 WiFi bandwidth problem that was definitely evident for many people that upgraded from 4.4.2. First off, I'm totally stock. I will most likely root & ROM this thing in this near future. I was having a bottleneck on my Nexus 10 around ~2 mbps when I tested using the speedtest.net application (may not be the best measurement application but it works). I ended up fixing the problem by changing my router settings in the WiFi section of my browser based software to N/G Mixed instead of just Mixed (which allows 802.11a/b as well as 802.11g/n to run on the router's WiFi signal). I use DD-WRT on my router as well so that may have played a factor in it but I did NOT see an increase in bandwidth until making the N/G Mixed change in the settings. I found this suggestion earlier in the thread and wanted to give it some credit. Thanks everyone!
