Wifi connected..Signal strong..

Ok so tis is my problem. the Wifi connects fine. i use it for 10 minutes...20 minutes..it works.. then suddenly.. it stops working?
I go to comm manager the Signal quality is full or 3/4 full (dependent on location). it stays connected... the tx rate is 54Mbps and the Rx Rate jumps between 1-54Mbps.. My network is not security protected but no one uses it except me and my computer.
Im using messeneger then it says " messenger trying to reconnect blah blah) then i go to opera and it stopped working too...but its still connected, the signal strength is still strong?
Whats going on?!
My router is a Netgear DG834GT.. I have put my xperia's mac address on the allowed list as well.. i just dont get it?
i have to disconnect and reconnect to get it working..then it lasts another 5 minutes and dies again? Sometimes when i reconnect it still doesnt work so i have to turn off wifi and turn it on 2 or 3 times?

You are not alone, my friend. That's exactly what happened to me, except mine is Belkin.
Someone here (sorry I can't remember) suggest turning off bluetooth solved the problem.

i would try upgrading the firmware of the router it solves many incompatability issues for many people
sometimes my linksys drops data connection so the wifi signal is just a pin
and only fix is to unplug the router for 10sec and replug it
seems to be common that wifi act up at least see people complain in many many forums for wifi able devices

bluetooth is not on at all... Also every other wifi device will connect just fine? why would it work then just stop?

I have no idear only knows that what i wrote fix it in many cases for many people

i have wifi on even in standby tweaked...did you guys tweak anything? like auto off or anything?

nop i just use wpa AES
but as i said i update my wifi router with the latests firmware when
ever linksys updated it and believe me they updated it often

is anyone facing this problem or faced it before then fixed it?

if it's not your router as Rudegar suggests (one way to test, try over a different wifi elsewhere) then I wonder if your wifi is powering down for some reason?

Hey guys...having the same problem. Firstly I had trouble connecting to Wifi with the Xperia...then I updated the router firmware...now I can connect to Wifi but it does nothing, I cannot surf the net, I cannot connect to Skype I cannot connect to Windows live, cannot check my mail, etc...
Any ideas? Bluetooth etc not on at all...

Cant detect any wifi

okay so my phone lost internet connection on me awhile ago and i was like wtf? then i tired to connect to my wifi but it said there was no wifi available, so i restarted my router an modem but still no wifi dected. So i got my labtop and it found+connected to my wifi with no problems, my phone cant even find it. any idea of how to fix this? Im still looking around trying to find a fix. My phone is rooted with fresh rom on it.

Just a thought, are you using WiFi Tether? I was wondering if it maybe didn't set a setting back correctly when you turned it off last. Try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.

ive rebooted it 2 times but it still detects no wifi, also i coulden't get a evdo signal or whatever that is today when i went out to see if my phone worked if that means anything. o and i just now got it to connect to my wifi by manually setting it up but idk if im gonna be able to see my towns local wifi wich i can connect to whenever im close by or my schools. Do you think i should do a restore on the phone or anything like that?

okay, i found a fix for this for me anyways. If this helps anyone go to your wifi settings and look at the networks you have connected to before, delete all of them. Then your phone should start scanning if you still have wifi turned on and there ya go wifi now works. I have no idea if this bug has anything to do with fresh rom.

Doubt it has anything to do with the Rom, just because we don't have Kernel code to modify or mess with that kind of stuff. May just be a bug for the phone in general. I will test it out tommorow when I have a couple of different signals around me.

i emailed Appalachian wireless and asked them for the evdo settings, but the custom support is probably pretty slow since there not a major company, when i find anything out i'll be sure to post it here. but since i don't get signal or have a data plan it dosen't bother me but i was wantin to get the 30mb addon for $10 so i could check my emails and use my instant messengers.

[SOLVED] Strange Wifi problem, need help

Hi
I have a problem about accessing internet using wifi. I connect to network, it's ok. But after nearly 30 seconds i cant access internet anymore. My phone says everything is ok, i am connected to my modem, my internet connection is ok but i cant use it on my HD before turning off- and on- my wifi. But i can only use internet for a short time again.
I tried hard reset but everythings is still the same. I am using BlackstoneHenge max stability&speed rom.
So what causes that problem? What should i do?

have you tried turning off your router and turning it back on after a few minutes ?

also try and set the wifi signal strength of the blackstone to performance and not battery. that way, the signal will be stronger and probably not drop. i had the same issue yesterday after flashing another rom, without setting it to full performance, the wi-fi would constantly drop signal and even when i was connected, it would not access the internet properly.

thanks chef_tony and mjuksel
i disabled power save mode of wifi and set to performance mode as you suggested. my problem looks solved now, thanks so much

Solved, thread closed

[Q] T-Mo G2 Rooted/Stock OTA 2.3.4 Wont stay connected to wifi

I tried searching and I've not found this issue addressed, but I may just be doing it wrong. But, here it goes anyways...
This house has 3 T-Mobile G2s, all with the same OTA. Only mine is rooted. However, none of them will stay connected to wifi. The wifi icon is showing up and it says that I am connected to the access point, but in status it says that mobile network status is disconnected. I can't do anything data related after it times out. If I disable and re-enable wifi it stays connected for a bit before it goes dead again. The handset doesn't go into sleep/screen doesn't turn off. Before I updated I did a Factory Data Reset, then re-entered all my information then let it update. Is there anything I can do, or try?

Being that all 3 phones cannot stay connected I'd be inclined to say look at your router... I'm assuming you've done all the obvious things like reboots, battery pulls, "forgetting" your network and then re adding it? Are other devices in the home able to maintain a wifi connection... your computer, for example? You've tried resetting your router?
If the screen isn't timing out, have you checked your Display settings? What makes you think the screen timeout is related to the wifi problem?

Well in the past on my myTouch 3g... wifi at times would get wonky after the screen timed out/it went to sleep. So was just adding that information here. Yeah, there are at least 8-9 other wifi devices here that can connect to the router just fine and send/receive data. I've tried "forgetting" the access point and then re-adding it, resetting the router, battery pull... and the same thing happens. And the router doesn't have MAC address filtering either. Can't ping google.com or 72.14.204.105 from the phone, but my pc can just fine. If I disable wifi it works as it should. Its just I only have realllly slow EDGE service in the house.

Hmm... by default wifi should turn off when the screen times out. Unless you've changed the wifi sleep policy. I had mysterious wifi trouble before on a different device (endless "obtaining ip address" loops) and the only thing that worked for me was restoring an older nandroid. Obviously, you're no longer rooted and that's not an option... but it's super unusual that 3 G2 phones are experiencing the same problem. And they're all running the Gingerbread update, so maybe that's the common denominator. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I'd definitely pay T-Mobile a visit.

I've not messed with the wifi policy, but my last phone would just drop wifi completely and I had to forget/re-enter everything to get it back. If it was the update then I would think the problem would be more widespread. Going to try fiddling with the router some more since that would most likely be where the issue lies. All else fails will just rollback to an earlier nandroid, like you had to do, and seeing if I can't get at least mine consistent. Thanks for your help and letting me bounce ideas off of.

After the soak update my wifi doesn't work properly, any ideas?

So I updated in the latest soak test to 2.3.6 and after that I have been having issues with the wifi. My home network drops and reconnects all too often and when I run a speed test the bandwidth is bottle necked terribly. My laptop gets 35.57Mbps down and 7.19Mbps up but my phone gets around 1-2Mbps down and about half way through the test I get a connection error every time. I also attempted to connect to a friends wifi earlier today and the connection just constantly kept resetting. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get my wifi restored?

..

I will give that a shot thanks.

Here is another strange thing it does. When I turn the wifi on it doesn't automatically connect to my network I have to go into the wifi settings before it will prompt the phone to connect to my wifi.

not having those issues at all.

..

I unlocked the bootloader and my wifi worked fine after that. I have no clue why that would have fixed it but it sure did. Previously to that I had not modified my phone in any way.
