Probably just my imagination, but...
For those with wifi problems, try going to Settings/Locations and Security, and uncheck the box that says "Use wireless networks"...
Leave the GPS box checked to determine your location when needed...
Stop all of your wifi "fix" apps just to be sure.
Just a theory, but it has been working for me for a couple of days, so please try...

Doesn't GPS use a lot more battery?
A fix about unlock channels 12 to 14?
The new version of DSC Rom has all wifi channels available (0.71)

What I'm most curious about is the GPS, since Samsung did design the phone does it have the same issues with GPS as the Galaxy S does..
I know we probably won't know until next week, but still curious.

I am pretty damn sure that the issue has been resolved, i mean it would be absolutely stupid if they didnt
I'd hope so, but then again. The original I9000 Galaxy S phone shipped with broken GPS and then when they came to the US, they had broken GPS...
But in the end, software tweaks fixed most of the GPS issues if you had a rooted phone.
Yea my vibrant GPS is fine now but when on jfd firmware GPS and compass were faulty but was only software related.
But even now with everything working I noticed that my GPS and phone antenna interfere cuz putting my phone in flightmode makes GPS much more accurate so I'm thinking this s why they replaced the antennas.
But yea GPS should be fine on NS

The GPS chip in the NS is different from the SGS series. It'll work just fine.
Acording to FCC they changed the antenna

Yes they changed the antenna. The Vibrant's GPS works anywhere, hard-ware wise. It was just some of the software builds that it didn't work on.
I just read a review that stated gps worked "flawlessly"

Which review?
Engadget did a review but stupidly did not test the GPS. What a shame review.

Go under setting/wireless & network settings/ mobile networks... And the data enabled is what turns on ur data. Unless ur talking about just turning off 3g. And I believe thy make wigets to go from edge to 3g

I go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode
And switch from GSM/WCDMA to GSM Only. This changes it from HSDPA/3G to Edge.
I have to admit i'm not sure why, but it does.
I only get one bar on H, but four bars on E @ my house, so I switch it all the time. I have WIFI @ home for data anyway...
I also miss having access to the network setting from the upper right corner of 1.6
Not sure why they took that away since the icons are still there...

CyanogenMod 7 isn't very supported here. I would try over at Rootzwiki.

hy!
I have that problem to , it seems that firmwares 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 has some problems with routers ( not all ) i have a belkin and when i installed those firmwares i observed the problem now i`m using 2.3.4 with cf-root and semaphore and works properly
I do have an smc barricade and an UPC router i dont know the model of it but that one disconnects too.. it's very weird never had this problem on Miui/ics/froyo/gingerbread, and flashed over 100 roms! So i think it's too about that 2.3.5-2.3.7 firmware problem :/ i hope that this will be fixed because i dont have an unlimited data plan

Probably a noob question, but have you controlled the suspend policy in the advanced wifi settings?

me understand how the GPS in the Nexus 10 works. I spoke to a Google tech and he said its not a true GPS but that it needs WiFi to work. If I'm near a WfFi hot spot I probably already know where I am. What's the point of having a GPS that needs WiFi?
I just don't get it

Really helpful answer, I'm kinda wondering why you bothered though.....bored?
The point is so that apps that use your location can work I would presume. Similar to the Nexus 7. You can still use maps for example.
It's called Assisted GPS
Give this a read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
It may still work without the WiFi but will get a better positioning if the antenna is activated. I don't think it actually has to connect to a wifi network.
GPS should still work without wifi. It states on its specs that it comes with GPS not AGPS. So it comes with an internal GPS. Like Samsungs Note 10.1 it has GPS and it is able to work without wifi. Just make sure when using Google Navigation to input your destination prior to cutting wifi off so it has its route already in place. AGPS will be present when wifi is on. Its not a true GPS in ways that it won't get the route information like a regular GPS device would do but it will track you without problems. My Note 10.1 is accurate to 13 feet!
