Even though my wifi is switched on on my phone and connected to my home network, when I come home it does not reconnect. In fact my wifi seems to be switched off.
Anyone else have this?
Any way to fix it? I've tried forgetting the network and re-entering details, but that didn't work.

Sometimes ill push my wifi wiidget and it will Jehoshaphat that it is on but it wont connect to my network. If ithen go to settings, then wiring, it will start connecting.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Are you talking about the power control widget that comes with the phone?
Yes.....
In that case then yes, my phone doesn't auto connect to my network when I turn on wifi I have to go into settings too.
I've been having issues with my phone staying connected to wifi also. It's become quite annoying.
I sent my note 3 (sim free n9005) to repair one month ago because a sensor didn't work (another story). Now the sensor problem has been fixed. But there is another issue. The wifi keeps dropping. I mean wifi is completely turned off on my phone, then it tries to turn on, and off again... I have googled a while,it's not the wifi is slow, it's the wifi is completely turned off then it tries to turn it on, and keeps turning on and off. At first it happens occasionally and it can be turned on. Until several days ago, wifi could not be turned on at all. If I go into setting - connection - wifi, I will see it says 'turning on' but nothing happens. Reboot helps sometimes but the issue soon reappear. I did factory reset but no use. I would think it's the phone's problem. But When I go outside and test in public wifi (university wifi, MacDonald etc), it got no problem at all. So I began to think maybe there is something with the router. So I turned off my router, the wifi is turned on immediately and I can see all the wifi connections from my neighbours.
My router is virgin media netgear vmdg485 (100M fiber optical). I googled it, it seems specially made for Virgin media. It's a modem/router all-in-one device. Just wondering has anyone else got similar experience? B.T.W all other devices in my home connect to the wifi no problem at all. I think they may have upgraded my android software on the repair. I never had this problem before the repair. But android is the latest version (checked in settings). So I don't know what option I have on software side. Probably I need to try a new router?
And also I have tried everything I found on Internet (turn off switch network etc in advanced setting in wifi. turn off power saving for wifi, disable wifi direct/share, etc).

Hi,
I had a similar problem with my note and was advised to go into the wifi settings and deactivate "Scanning always available" and "Auto network switch".
I had this problem with a Virgin media router and where android was under the impression the connection was unstable it was deactivating the wifi to go back to the cellular.
This may be completely wrong but it solved it for me.
Hope this helps!
I had this issue and the only thing that solved it was a factory reset.
I had a similar problem with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and Virgin Superhub 1
I hadn't previously noticed problems with wi fi at home when using different phones in the same location.
After much reading on support forum I concluded that many Superhub users believe the device is not very effective when operating as both a cable modem + wi fi router.
I opted for an expensive solution of buying a new wi fi router.
My Superhub now operates just as a cable modem and is connected via ethernet cable to the adjacent Asus RT-AC66U which does have the advantage of 802.11 ac.
Speed test result from Note 3 via wi fi setup described above.

Thanks paul, mine is super hub as well. I want to get a router to test, but worring if it doesn't solve the issue.
wow, that router is a lot of money, really hope it's not the router issue.
Hi all
All of the sudden, my nexus 4 doesn't seem to scan for any wifi network. I have made sure I turned off the aeroplane mode, turn the WiFi on, and see that wifi is switched on, but it just doesn't scan, not even when I click scan, as no any scanning message popped up. So basically I can not connect to any new network, e.g hotel wifi or airport wifi. I have tried to forget some saved but unused wifi in my phone, as well as reboot.
The strange thing is, the wifi itself seems to work, because I can connect to wifi network that it has already remembered.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks in advance
Can anyone help please?
Hi,
I have a problem that my WiFi network disconnects and disappear from the list. Even if I search for network it will not show up.
It looks like a lot of the other WiFi networks around me is also missing when this is happening.
It will suddenly come back again and work as it should for several hours.
I have i locked to 2,4GHz, WiFi always on, scanning is on.
Had the same problem when I used Auto 2,4GHz/5GHz.
All other devices is working as they should. Have also reset the wireless router. (Netgear X4 R7500)
I have the same problem. When I turn the wifi off, and the back on again it discovers my router and connects.
Does anybody have a fix for this?
Same problem here. My 2,4ghz network sometimes just vanishes and shows up after a couple of minutes. And it just won't connect at all with my 5ghz network. My router is a D-link dir 868l. I'm on the latest firmware. My other devices all connect just fine, except for my 6p.
Updated to 6.0.1 and I have still problems. When I come back home, I need to turn off and on WiFi to reconnect. Wifi have not dropped since i updated to 6.0.1 yesterday.
Just curious
Who is your service provider? My girls 5x is connected to Sprint and she has no problems on my network. I have Tmobile on my 6p and it keeps dropping the wifi. Maybe its a Tmobile thing?
reset network config
I had the same problem and try to go to airplane mode on and off then even forget network and add back on. Work for a second and disconnected. So far this way work. Try this.
Got to Setting > Backup & reset > Network Settings reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys too.
Good luck! :good:
My brother has a Nexus 6p and the WiFi doesn't switch on at all after he updated to 6.0.1. I reflashed factory image of 6.0.1 again and it didn't work. I then flashed 6.0 but it still doesn't switch on. Any help?

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I still have this big active, and have been using mobile data since.
The wifi setting "turn on wifi automatically" in the advance settings use to work like a champ but for some reason it won't turn off when i'm outiside of my wifi signal range. I can turn off wifi manually and when i get within a saved wifi signal it will turn wifi on.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any advice will be appreciated!
My WiFi never turned off automatically on its own. I had to create Bixby Routines to turn WiFi off after leaving my apartment and turn it back on when I got home.
My phone would constantly be connecting to any available XFINITY Hotspots which is probably why that setting never worked for me the same way it worked for you.
Could your phone be doing something similar and connecting to Hotspots or open WiFi networks without you realizing it?
Mine has never turned off automatically either, it does turn on automatically when im in range, but i have also setup Bixby routines so im not sure if it turns off automatically now or not.
My hot spot is disabled but before this last update my wifi would turn on and off automatically. Oh Well luckily we have bixby routines lol
Thanks guys!
