So I disabled my wireless today, then after re-enabling I no longer seem to be able to detect any wireless networks. Rebooting, disabling/reenabling the wireless don't change anything. I powered off and removed the SDcard, and the core factory software still connects to wireless fine, so it isn't hardware. There aren't exactly a lot of settings I can find that I might have changed either.
Delete or forge the wifi connectio. I had the same issue.

I checked the other wifi threads, and I think my problem is different.
I can use my Verizon xv6800 at work, with WPA2 wireless access. As soon as I go home and turn on the wireless switch, the wifi crashes and i have to reboot my whole phone. I even tried this at my mom's house, and had no problem connecting. It seems to only be at home.
Could there be an issue where there are too many access points broadcasting?
Is there a 3rd party wireless manager I should/could use?
Been using wifi at work, understand that recently they changed the config on the router to only broadcast N. Ever since my NC will scan, connect, then immediately disconnect. I am running CM7 on nightly #177. Been doing it with several previous nightlies. I have a Netgear WNR3500 at home that I have setup to broadcast both G and N, the NC always connects G at 54mbps. Is there some setting I can check or file I can modify that will let me modify wifi settings on the NC? Any help with the N connection would be great. Thanks.
Edit: Ok, I lowered my overclock from 1.1ghz to 800 and it connected without a problem. Seems the overclock is having issues. Have to play around with it a little and try and figure things out somemore. Please disregard.
I'm having the same problem. My school recently switched to an n network and now I can only get connected occasionally and the connection drops within a minute or two, even if I'm in the middle of uploading a file.
Long story short, I can only use the internet if I set my router to 802.11g only.
I have a new Nook Color that I couldn't get to register. I tried updating the firmware to 1.4.2, which didn't help. I ended up being able to register by setting my D-Link Dir-615 router to G-only. After registering, I installed [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe (04/16/2012), but still can only connect when the router is set to G-only. G&N and N-only won't work. I've tried everything I can think of, including resetting the router to factory defaults and turning off wifi security. I've never touched airplane mode nor the overclock settings on the NC. I've tried forgetting all wifi connections, turn off wifi, etc. many times. I have a media player (N) and laptop (G) that both work perfectly. Setting the router to G-only cripples the speed of file transfers to my media player, so I'd really like to find a better solution. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
EDIT: To clarify, when the router is set to something other than G-only, the NC can still connect and gets full green bars, but no internet app will work. If I then set the router to G-only the wifi indicator on the NC will disappear for a second, then reappear and the internet works perfectly without me touching the NC. I don't have to turn off wifi or anything, just tap refresh on the browser.
check your router against a different device.

My media player (802.11n) and my laptop (802.11g) both work no matter what mode the wireless is set to. My Nook Color would connect fine, full green bars on the display, but no internet. Setting the router to 802.11g-only mode would make the Nook Color work, but slow down my media player.
Solution: I put dd-wrt firmware on my router and the Nook Color works perfectly while the router is in G&N mode, and the file transfer speed to the media player is back up to where it was.
Afterthought: I really thought it was the Nook Color that had the issue. This problem (NC only working when the router is set to G-only) isn't uncommon on the Barnes & Noble support forum and the media player worked great at N speeds. I went through my router's settings multiple times, testing after each minor change. I don't know why the dd-wrt firmware made it work, I'm just glad it did.
The problem with 802.11n has been present from almost day 1. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959823&highlight=wifi
The sure fix as others have noted is to not use 802.11n. Good to know that dd-wrt fixes the problem - assuming you have a router that supports dd-wrt.
I have an AT&T galaxy s4 and I've been having trouble with the wireless. I can connect just fine to the netgear router at my apartment in Athens but at home I've been having trouble. At home we have AT&T uverse with an AT&T branded router. My phone will connect for a little while but eventually the small down arrow under the wireless symbol in the status bar starts blinking and the phone says it's connected but I don't have internet. Ive tried searching for a fix but it seems that the only routers people are having trouble with are dkink routers. The problem seems to trigger after I try to load a new site or refresh a page. Also, locking the phone triggers it as well. I've tried changing the security settings, forgetting the network and re-adding it, as well as turning the wireless network power saving option off but nothing works. I've rebooted the phone and the router but it still messes up. What's odd though is that my brothers galaxy s4 connects just fine (although I haven't been able to do extensive testing on his phone). Also, I was home last weekend and the weekend before and it worked just fine. I haven't rooted my phone or changed any settings that would have impacted the wifi since then. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm having very similar problems. When I connect to the wireless, the phone will work on it for about a minute and then stop getting to websites, etc. I have a Motorola SB 6121 cable modem with Vonage and a Dlink DIR-655 wireless modem. Inet provider is Comcast (only option here).
Anyone else having the same symptoms?
I've done the same troubleshooting steps: factory reset, power cycle, default settings, etc and the phone does the same thing.
EDIT: it's been working longer than usual now. I adjusted the Transmission Rate from the Wireless setup to 54 from Auto and the wireless has been stable much longer. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253471 for people sharing the same pain we have
Hi everyone!
Recently, I bought my mother a Galaxy Tab A 8-inch device (Model Number SM-T350) and it theres an issue where the device seems to be connected to her Wifi network, but after a while, she is not able to browse the internet or use Viber. The Wifi Network shows connected. But after a specific time, when she needs to use Viber, she cannot connect to the internet even though the network is connected to her Wifi network.
Its not only Viber, but she cannot browse the internet using Firefox or the native browser.
The only way to resolve this is by turning ON/OFF the Wifi.
We tried a number of things like Setting the Sleep options to Never disconnect from Wifi, resetting the router, and so forth...
I tried updating the device but it seems like that this unit only goes up to Android 6.0..1. There is no security software that I know of installed on the device either. I checked the router settings as well and all devices going through that router are not Blacklisted. So all devices can pass or connect to the network. No MAC address filtering turned ON, it is OFF. But these settings are irrelevant to the issue in question, as the device Wifi shows status as Connected...
This is quite a "PITTY" situation as her Viber contacts cannot even call her either because of this issue.
To recap or to sum it up on the issue, is that after a while the internet does not seem to work on the device even though its connected to her Wifi network.
My mother does not have any other devices at her home.
I wonder if this is an Android bug or there is an issue with our router?
The router in question is a Cisco WRVS4400N if this helps.
Thanks
Bump. I have the same issue with my Tab A 6.

How old is there router
I have a similar problem with the Samsung Galaxy tablet a. My version is SM-T350. When I 1st got it a few years ago, everything worked great and I was able to connect to the Wi-Fi no problem. However, I believe that was after an update, the tab A will no longer connect to the Internet in less it is sitting right next to the router. Even this can be sketchy. It has to be within 2" to connect. I don't think it has anything to do with the router, but something with the internal Wi-Fi. I was thinking before when I wouldn't be able to connect it I had to select WEP instead of WPA
I wokeup this morning and noticed my mia1 wasn't connected to wifi anymore.
when i went to settings->wifi-> saved networks i could see the target ssid
no matter what i did i couldn't get it to connect to the desired wifi, but it has no problems connecting to other wifi networks.
things i tried
- rebooting phone
- deleting ssid and readding
- rebooting router
- hiding/unhiding ssid in router settings
- toggle airplane mode
- toggle wifi
- connect to 2.4 and 5ghz. both failed.
Anybody have any ideas what the issue might be and how to resolve?
Do other devices connect to that particular wifi? If not, that means there is something wrong with the router, if they connect, there is something wrong with your phone... And I really don't know how to help you, because you listed all the things I would've tried

You could try changing the wifi PW (router setup) to something short and without special characters.
Just to eliminate compatibility issues...
