If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.

I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

[Q] Wifi

is anyone having wifi issues where games disconnect and downloads have to be restarted alot?

Its neva happened to me using wifi, are you using other things at the same time? PS3? PC? I know my xbox tends to disconnect if im downloading somthing on the pc

Having the same issue
I don't have to be downloading anything, the phone could just be sitting there and the WIFI disconnects even with a app like SKYPE running in the back ground. My current internet is 20 meg down with 4 meg up and of all the devices this is the only one that disconnects or has any kind of connection issues.

Happens about 10 times a day. So annoying

Yes, I get this with my PLAY.
No other devices have this problem in my house. Stable connection that is on all the time.
Really annoying in Rainbow 6, particulary since it doesn't seem to save your stats with you disconnect because of a Wi-Fi droput.
Also sometimes have problems when it comes out of sleep mode, have to turn off wifi, then on again on the PLAY.
Very annoying.

Could it be to do with the security settings on your routers? Mines set to WPA2 PSK with a 13 character password and its never dropped connection. Or could it be the make of your routers? Mines a Netgear router. If a few people post there setup maybe we can find a similarity between them and find out if it's the phone, router, setup or all of them that's the problem.

The distance you are to the router makes a big difference. I think the wifi receiver on the play is weaker then other devices.

Yes. I havent updated yet, I'm hoping that 2.3.3 will fix it.
It says I'm connected yet stops working. I have to turn off the wi-fi then turn it back on to get it working again.

I have the same security on mine. The router is wireless n from my provider. It ie a router modem in one.

I did back when I was on 2.3.2. It was so annoying. I could have 2 computers, an iPad, and my Play connected to the same router and only the Play would disconnect continually.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread

I have the same problem with 2.3.3 the wifi just keep disconnecting is really annoying. Does any one know if this is a bug or a real design or hardware problem that wont be fixed wit updates?

It's wifi range isn't as far reached as other devices.

Wifi connection issues

Usa anyone else experiencing wifi collection issues.
Wireless N simply doesn't work. On G and B I get connected but 90% of the time I'm connected with no internet access. I use g band then b band and get no data. Turn off wifi and my 2 bars of 3g works ok. Turn back on wifi it connects and nothing can access data.

I've changed my network name and wpa code several times. I even added a network with wep security and no difference. I tried hidden ssd and no difference.
Used to work fine. I guess logic tells me it must be EH06 modem since this problem started with in the last couple weeks.

I have to use static ip to get on my Netgear N router. Put in all the info including a DNS server.

How many devices connect to your router? By the way, what security do you use on your router? Get rid of your router throwing B signal, its ancient history. I connect to N/G/B no prob.
Edit:
P.S. Does anyone else tinker with your Router besides you? Did you recently turn Mac Filtering on? Do you run software such as Cisco Network Solutions? It could 'block' out 'intruders' from connecting when in reality its just your phone. Lol

I.have a new n router, dual chain or whatever n is in the 500mghtz band. I have seven devices connected. I use wpa security.

I does have a firewall on and off (vizio router). Firewall doesn't seem to make a difference. It can and currently is setup to broadcast three separate networks. 500Mhz for n good for tv's, one I choose for g only (can do auto which is n g and b), one for older devices b band only. Phone has no data with any of the three networks. But connects to to all three.

AFAIK, our Epics only connect on 2.4Ghz on wireless N. I don't think it is capable of connecting on 5Ghz...but don't quote me on that, I may be wrong.

I've connected to a 5Ghz router before, did have issues keeping a stable connection even though it was set to auto B/G/N
I don't know if you mind, but why not try throwing out 2.4Ghz frequency? Make sure your channel is 1-11. I remember the Epic not being able to connect with Data if the channel was persay, 21.
I'd get rid of the B signal, an old laptop or a PSP are the only two devices that come to mind when I think of a device that only takes B signal.. lmao.

Good point, I think the auto channel thing puts it up past 11...
I will report back. thanks for the help everyone, I do appreciate any feedback.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Ok. Changes channel from auto to 11 and that seemed to do the trick. Now working on G. Tomorrow I'll try N.
Thanks for y'all's help!

My question is why overnight my wifi shuts off sometimes on the Epic, even when I have "never sleep" selected in advanced settings? Running rooted stock Froyo EC05.

Simple my friend, not enough RAM to allow it to stay connected, so by default, the epic's Adminstrative commands terminate it in order to free up resources. Thus trying to save you battery etc. If you free up resources, like clear ram, (level 1&2) you'll notice you can connect right back as soon as you do that. The more you run at once, or even background processes eat up your ram. Some common that come to mind: Google+, Live Wallpaper, weather/clock widgets, to name a few.

Thanks for the explanation...but I find it weird that it's always overnight, and not when I have lots of apps going during normal use. Shouldn't there be much more RAM free when nothing's hapenning in the foreground? It's not every night either, only some.

[Q] HELP!!! N7 3G wifi tether IP address conflict HELP!!!

So, I'm deployed right now and I got the N7 3G specifically so I could tether to my computer and phone. After getting the device and realizing that it did not have native tether I rooted it and flashed it with the image(?) I found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995737
Everything went smoothly and I thought I was good 2 go. When I attempt to log on with my devices I get a IP address conflict. My computer (WIN7) is smart enough to manually assign itself an IP and connect to the internet but nothing else will. It's driving me nuts. Obviously, I can only imagine that it is something to do with the DHCP. I would have posed this question on that thread but based on not having posted before I did not have the permissions. Thank anyone ahead of time for any help.

Still no luck. I've reapplied everything multiple times and nothing. I've also flashed the monoco(?) rom hoping that their tether would work but nothing. Only thing I haven't done is factory restore and start from scratch. This is really sucking. I'm looking for any suggestions. I'm sure 90% are more experienced then I am with this. I have absolutely no programing knowledge.

Hmmm. Yea its DHCP from your Nexus handing out IPs. I'm not sure what your DHCP RANGE is but it should be a pool of about 10 IPs. If your Range is only set to 1, then it will only hand out one.
Oddly there aren't any options on my Galaxy Nexus (I don't have a 3G N7).
What I would do is take your other devices and tap and hold on your tethered WiFi network and select forget. Disconnect everything completely and forget all settings. Change your WiFi Tethered name.
Try to connect one at a time before moving to the next. The devices keep the connection settings in memory and will try to use the old IP address they used before.
This could also be a bug with the tether section also. Most roms share the same development features.

Help Connecting android to wep secured router

No one at work with an android phone/tablet can connect to the WiFi. IPhone/pad Windows p8 and laptops. Connect fine. It gets stuck at authentication error or can't authenticate at least on my phones/tablets. I don't know if there is an firewall issue but I find it hard to believe as other devices can. Is it an android issue? We have like 10 or so access points or extenders all under the same name. I don't know if maybe I need to find the main router and try connecting to that... any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Are you sure it's WEP? It sounds like you're using a flavor of 802.1x WPA like EAP-FAST which isn't really supported on Androids.

It shows up as WEP secured.
From what I've gathered. Some android phones used to work but there was a lot of people that couldn't connect. So they called our IT guy and he called our network guy and they got it opened up so everyone was able to connect. Then a short time later android stopped connecting

Long time ago but still an issue. Anyone know the issue?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

First of all, WEP is highly insecure, but I don't know why you would have problems. I would upgrade the security to WPA/WPA2 to prevent people from "stealing" your internet.
Sent from my LePanII using xda app-developers app

Usually it's an issue with the router/AP, not the phone. No idea why either.

Normally the security protocol is WEP ,its ok..the problem is not with your phone maybe they adopted for MAC filtering..you should try to check with the network admin..or try connecting a laptop and see if it works with the same protocol..or try to check with the network admin to move on to wpa or wpa2..maybe things can sort out
