WiFi Disconnection problems - XPERIA X8 General

Hi
I've always had this WiFi problem that after about 5 minutes of usage the internet connection disappears on my phone but the WiFi logo stays.
This forces me to disable and reenable WiFi on my phone.
Later I discovered that this only happens with WPA secured access points.
WEP and non secured access points work fine.
I tested my phone with 3 routers. Same results for all. On my first 2 routers it wasn't a problem because I just set up WEP security.
With my new router I cannot do this because it has wireless N which doesn't support WEP...
Also this happens will all ROMs, even the stock ROM.
After Google'ing this issue I found out that I am not the only one having this issue...
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this?

No one knows what the issue is?

Wifi works fine here using WPA2 and AES, my router is an ASUS RT-N16 running Tomato USB firmware.

Alright, so I decided to run logcat to capture the moment when the connection drops.
Here's the image of the log window:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How I tested this:
1) Ran adb logcat in Windows.
2) Enabled WiFi connection.
3) Opened up YouTube, selected a 10 minute long video.
4) After about 4 minutes, the video froze, because it ran out of buffer.

Maybe you should try the WiFi libs from the FreeXperiaProject? Or a different ROM.

SSH into Nexus over Wifi

Anyone tried doing it? Do you get quite a bit of lag? I am connecting over my local Wifi and it is laggy.
(Turning off the screen increases lag a lot, but I guess that is because the CPU is slowed down, so that is OK.)
Well, I'm struggling to connect to mine
I know it's not my network because I can connect to my Iconia (on ICS), and my Iphone via wifi.
What rom are you using and how are you starting the ssh server on your Nexus?
As soon as I get it going I'll let you know about lag.
(My Iconia (on wifi) is very usuable - with only minor lag during login, but nowhere near as fast as my wired logins))

OK, I guess it is normal then, for me, it is usable, but slower than over ethernet. Pings are around 90ms, so that's just the way it is then.
I tried the DropBear SSH Server, SSHDroid just hung at initialisation. I also used a chrooted Ubuntu install with its own server, both were comparable in speed. Also I am using stock ROM.

[Q] USB Tethering GN3 to ASUS RT-AC56R Router

Has anyone successfully connected a Verizon GN3 to an ASUS RT-AC56R router? I have been trying various settings for 3 days without any luck. If you know how to make this work (which it is supposed to do), then please post how you did it.
I am aware that I could use the GN3 as a WiFi hotpot, but I have a number of wired components throughout the house that are not WiFi capable.
Thanks

In order for you todo that you would have to set your router up as a repeater. Might be able to look up how todo that

Thanks.
The repeater mode only functions as a WiFi repeater. I'm looking to utilize a cable to connect via USB to phone. It sure seems to indicate that I *should* be able to make it work, somehow. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I know that the phone itself works in USB tether mode, because USB tethering works fine when connected to a single computer.

[Q] Wifi issue

Hi guys !
I'm coming here after having looked for an answer everywhere, checked the forums etc.
I actually find answers and topics with a similar problem but none helped me to fix my issue.
I have an Asus transformer T100TAF.
The wifi works well the first 30 minutes (sometimes it is an hour or two, it happens randomly) and then just stop working. Windows doesn't find any Wifi source (usually I can see the neighbours' wifi and of course mine). This logo show up :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only way to fix it is to reboot windows (and then about 30 minutes after, or 1h/2h ... after, the wifi stop working again).
The troubleshoot tell me "''The Broadcom 802. 11abgn wireless SDIO adapter adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems"
I can connect on my network from my other devices.
I tried updating the wireless adapter drivers.
Thanks for helping guys !
Acer W4 820
I have similar problem. Sometimes it happens. Mostly with bluetooth on.
W4 820
Same here. But im on windows10.
I realized it usually happens when I try to connect to a WiFi with low signal strength. It tries than it crashes . And won't turn back on with the disable enable trick. I moved closer to the router and enabled it again and it connected instantly. What driver do u use?
Get a usb wireless card from amazon. Panda wireless is pretty good

6P as USB Modem on Asus Router?

Can anyone with an Asus router, such as the RT-N56U, tell me if the 6P will usb tether to the router?
I do this with my Note II. Gives my whole house internet using the Asus router instead of the phone hotspot, and also get the benefit of ethernet connections and a better wifi signal than the phone can provide. And only having one wifi network to deal with makes things so much better. My Note 4 just sits in a drawer because of this, since it can't be rooted. Which is a shame because it has a better radio and can get sometimes 80mbps+, when the Note 2 only gets around 50mbps.
Well in case anyone else has this question, I went ahead and bought the 6P. Can confirm it worked straight out of the box, didn't have to even change any settings on my Asus router. Just plugged it into the router USB port, and selected USB tether on the 6P.
And the speed is incredible at my house:

Just to be clear, when I said I didn't need to change any settings on my router, meant because I had already set it up with a previous phone. If you've never set up the router to use a USB modem, you'll need to configure it. Very simple, at least on vzw, but not just plug and play.

Debug wifi?

I can't get my Wi-Fi working at work. I have a Nexus 6p 64g that I've flashed with Pure Nexus. It worked before and my old Samsung Galaxy Sii can also connect. The Nexus stays stuck at 'Obtaining IP address'.
Can I get a log in some way to see what goes wrong? Or is there a way to reset Wi-Fi settings? I tried resetting vendor data in TWRP (didn't help). On a side note: I have no problem connecting to my home Wi-Fi.
Try going into Settings > Developer Options and enable Legacy DHCP. You may ask your work to look into their configuration to see if anything needs to be updated since Marshmallow updated the way enterprise level networking is handled. I ran into the same problem at my university and some people contacted them about it and I no longer have the issue.
I tried the Lollipop DHCP but it didn't help. Also, it worked before I flashed Pure Nexus and my 6p was obviously already running Marshmallow back then. I enabled to see more info in the Wi-Fi AP overview screen but I can't make sense of it.
Other tips?

Try Settings/Backup & reset/Network settings reset.

I tried that reset but it didn't fix it. Does Pure Nexus do anything differently from stock?
I noticed there's a number of wifi 'fixer' applications in the play store. Any experiences with those? Or other, more standard debug tools?
