I have my Nexus 7 running Stock 4.1.2 (rooted). At home I have 3 AP's running the same SSID and on Different channels. My Nexus 7 will connect to one of them when I get home, but when I move to another part of the house where the initial signal isn't very strong it does not automatically jump to the closest AP. I have to manually turn of the WiFi and turn it back on.
All my other devices work fine and as expected. These include Laptops (PC and Mac), iPhone(s), iPad, and Blackberry.
Any tips on how to make this work on the Nexus 7? Is this an Android thing? A Nexus thing? Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Hey guys,
In my office; I've got a wired ethernet internet connection to my laptop. I'm trying to enable Connectify (making my computer a hotspot) on my Win7 laptop so I can use my Nexus 7 in the office (I don't get great mobile reception otherwise I would just tether from my galaxy nexus).
For some reason, I can connect just fine, but after 10 minutes or so, Connectify drops the connection. It happens to both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. I'm ont sure if when the screens shut off it somehow drops and then doesn't come back easily? I need to turn on / off wifi again for the signal to return, then if I don't touch it it drops again in a few moments.
Anyone else experience this? I have to try this at home too, as I wonder if it's perhaps an group permission or policy level thing as well.
So I run wifi tether on my droid x2 and it works perfectly fine with most everything (laptop, desktop, xbox, etc.) however my nexus 7 (4.2.1) does not pick up the signal at all. It never shows up on the list of networks. I tried different channels but same result. I also had issues trying to connect with bluetooth on foxfi but still no luck. Any ideas?
I am having problems with my Nexus 4 not automatically connecting to Wi-Fi. This is particularly annoying as I only live a few minutes from Uni so I spend the day cycling between my home network, uni network and 3G and set tasker to do things based on where I am. However, I look at my phone it tells me I have plenty of wifi signal yet it hasn't connected. This means I either have to switch the wi-fi off and on (which seems to take longer than it should to switch back on) or reboot the phone. After this it will connect fine. Is this a software issue? Or something that is just wrong with my phone?
Cheers
I too have wifi connection problems with my Nexus 4. I can get it to connect, but it won't reconnect. Not only does it not reconnect, it doesn't even detect that the network it was just configured to connect to is sitting right in front of it.
I've tried using Wifi Analyser, and it will show all the wifi signals in my area including those of my neighbours across the street, but it simply doesn't even show my wifi signal. Oddly in Settings, sometimes my wifi signal is not listed at all (reflecting Wifi Analyser's view), and sometimes it is listed but shown as 'Not in range'. It is very frustrating, and the only reason I have not yet RMA back to Google is I have a slight hope that the next update (4.2.2) will fix it.
Needless to say, I have a number of other devices at home (Lenovo and HP laptops, iOS tablets and phone, Windows RT tablet, Windows Phone, and Nexus 7) all of which connect to my home network OK. It is clearly a bug in the Nexus 4.
I had the same problem as you guys, i flashed Franco Kernal and it works a treat now.
Not forgetting the extra battery life the kernel provides.
I suggest trying it out.
Whenever my iPad is connected to the WiFi network at home, my nexus 4 connects to WiFi but cannot use the internet. Any explanations?

Weird. I have 1iPad, 1iPhone, 3 laptops, 1 ps3, 3 tablets, 4 smart phones combined between 2 homes with 1 router and never had this issue. All can be running together or simultaneously, no issues.

I have an iPad 4.
Whenever it is connected and I connect my phone,the WiFi connects but I cannot use the internet.
I disconnect the iPad and then reconnect my phone and viola!it works... Any ideas why?
A workaround I found is that if I connect my phone first and iPad after that then both work,but not the other way round.
This problem is only with my nexus.
My galaxy s2(2 of them) and note, along with three laptops connect just fine. Its just my nexus which can't access the internet

My Nexus 4 (on PA 4.2.2 and 4.3) cannot connect to my wifi internet. Although it connects just fine to the network, it barely receives internet data. Sometimes I can see the icons going blue, but after a while they go grey again.
I've messed around with my router settings to no avail, and my Nexus 7 on PA 4.3 connects just fine, as my cousin's stock S4 does.
Also, my Nexus 4 connects normally to any other networks. The only problem is between my network and my phone.
Is there any recommendation or idea of what I could do in my case to fix those issues?
Any idea? I couldn't find any useful info on this on the web :/
