I only got my n7 a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately updated to 4.2. I didn't notice any issues. Immediately after the 4.2.1 update I keep getting random connection issues. I have to turn wifi off and on to resolve it.

I had the issue.. 32gb version in the US with the sep build. I actually had it prior to to 4.2.1. I ended up going into advanced properties and changing wifi to always on. Drains battery, but fewer need to turn wifi off and back on.

Yes. I have WiFi disconnects and random reboots since the new update .

I use WiFi Fixer downloaded from Google Play. When the connection is dropped it automatically reconnects after a second or two.
Same on my 7 WiFi stops working at random times turn WiFi off and on fixes it, only started after 4.2.1 update

My WiFi is always on and tethered to my evo3d at least 8 hours a day. Not a single problem under 4.2.1.

Just to clarify, i'm having this problem 100% stock. Not rooted what so ever. Roms/kernels could have this eliminated. But I wouldn't know.

No wifi internet / e-mail / notifications after 4.2.1
I am having a similar issue. Stock Nexus 7, never rooted, installed the 4.2.1 update when it was pushed. Since then I can connect to wifi connections but there is no internet access. While the icon in the upper right has small flashing arrow like data is being sent back and forth, the icon remains gray and no internet-requiring services on the tablet work. I've tried everything that I (and Google Play and Asus support) could think of with no luck.
The only thing they could come up with at the end was to restore the tablet to factory settings. Unfortunately I have application data that I need to back up that I can't access by accessing the internal storage using my laptop (I'm stock, remember?).
So I'm between a rock and a hard place here. Anyone have any suggestions? It was very frustrating when the Asus representative suggested I use the built-in backup and restore feature:
Me: "That requires internet access to work right?
Asus representative: "Oh....right..."
My Wi-Fi on both my Nexus 7's is very slow. They stay connected fine but I'm getting about 150kbps download speeds. I factory reset one of them to no prevail. Anyone have any insight on this or heard of others with this issue? All my other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi connection and I tried turning everything else off so just the Nexi where connected to see if the speeds are faster, but they aren't. I'm stock on both devices and both are the 16gb version, one older than the other.

Known issue. I logged a bug with Google and there's actually several open bugs reporting wifi issues. So far, none of the bugs are being picked up by google officially.

I've tried this same thing, and as soon as I installed 4.2, WiFi went to sh**. Completely stock.
So turning wifi off then on seems to be the generally excepted quick fix?

Or use Static IPs. That solved it for me. I had to ask my company to provide a reservation for my MAC Address. It's like back in the 90s when Wifi started coming out using the BellLabs/Lucent chipset.

Greetings all.
I'm having problems getting my Q to jive with my Nexus 7. I have manually reset the Q and I can set it up using my Nexus 7 but once I connect the Q to my network the N7 can no longer connect.
I have no problem getting it to work with my Galaxy S III so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't got clue as to what.
Any ideas?

Now I've even factory reset my nexus 7 and have installed the latest build, still can't connect.
Starting to think Google really dropped the ball on this one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I just picked up a Q and it constantly disconnects from my router over WiFi. It turns out that my router is one of the "Routers with Known Issues" - https://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2665467&topic=2663797&ctx=topic
While not a solution for everyone, since connecting it via ethernet I haven't had any problems. I still need to try updating to the latest firmware on my router or may even try a 3rd party firmware to see if it makes a difference as I'd prefer WiFi.
My Wi-Fi connectivity was rock solid on 4.2, but since applying the OTA I'm getting frequent data drops. Still shows me as connected to my router, but get no data. A quick Wi-Fi toggle fixes the problem each time. Anybody else seeing this?

Does anyone else have this issue ?
Connectivity is really key for this device and if this is common then I would likely not update.
upsetting to hear this, one of the big reasons I opted for this over some other 10.1in tablets was the MIMO dual band wireless. My Viewsonic g-tablet has horrible wifi connectivity and it makes watching youtube horrible. I couldnt imagine having to deal with it on my nexus 10 when it comes in the mail.
The first thing to check is always to set a static IP and see if the issue is resolved.
Just got my replacement today. Before the 4.2 and 4.2.1 updates, WiFi was solid no drops and full bars. After updates, pretty finicky drops quite a bit:/ hope the next update addresses this.
And yes sometimes it will show bars but no data. Especially when I start using 5ghz instead of 2.4ghz.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
After a few hours with no drops, I may have discovered a fix for my situation. I changed my access point from WPA (TKIP) to WPA2 (AES), and for the last 4 hours I haven't had a single drop. Prior to this, it'd drop every few minutes. Hopefully this holds up.
I've been having connectivity issues as well. I'll have my Nexus 7 and 10 in the same spot and the N7 will hold a solid connection and the N10 will drop and reconnect ad nauseam
My Wifi is perfect.
I also have this problem , any one found a fix?

When I had this problem I found that my google account had saved my connection settings. It was trying to use the same static ip as my phone. Went in and changed it and everything is fine.
Hopefully this can help.

So when I lock my Nexus 7, my wifi will drop after a minute or so, and in order for it to stay on I have to keep the screen unlocked and on. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? Thanks.

Should have clarified, I have it set to stay on.
This is a well documented issue and has just happened on 4.2.1. I have the same issue and looking for a fix
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm stock rom, rooted, cwm recovery, 4.2.1. My wi-fi is rock solid perfect. Some issues that have caused problems are the encryption method (wpa seems best), too long or special characters in the network password, outdated firmware on the router, reset of router needed, static ip seems to help some.
So, when I turn on the bluetooth and connect it to anything, like headset or stereos, speakers, there is some wifi drops every 10 seconds or less which is so annoying, cant watch a youtube video or browse easy and everything is ruined, so how to fix that? And is that only me? Im rooting my phone next week, cause that was a replacement and on my old nexus 4 never used bluetooth after 7 months , so dunno if i had that on my old nexus 4 or not.

I have the same issue, when you use Bluetooth it interferes the 2.4GHz radio waves created via WiFi chip, 5GHz works fine on WiFi with Bluetooth on.

Unfortunately that is where the problem comes in, I am not sure if it is hardware or software which is causing the issue.
If you want to keep connection on WiFi with Bluetooth then for now you have to use a Wireless Router which supports 5GHz (to enable support on Nexus 4 go to settings, WiFi, advanced and then Wi-Fi frequency band which will show up a list, choose "Auto" for 5GHz and 2.4GHz).

It's not fixed when I receive a call in my car the n4 drops wifi. And that was the main reason for getting a wifi router in my car. I'm on 4.3 My galaxy Nexus does not have that problem. This needs to be fixed soon.
I dunno, its fixed since i flashed the 4.3 paranoid android rom, and google support sent an email saying that its fixed in android 4.3 and they said that cause i called them several times because of that issue, Ive never had this issue on my gnex, but I had the gnex when it was on 4.1.2, i heard that its a bug in 4.2.

After upgrading to 4.3, I have lost my Wifi performance to my normal router. Now, while still able to scan available routers, I'm no longer able to connect.
Anyone know of a solution, short of an RMA?

Wat kind of router are you using and what frequency? 5Ghz or 2.4?

One is a linksys, the other is unknown as it's at the doctors office. As for frequency, one of each.

Setting a static IP has fixed it for me. Setting it on the phone that is. Happens far less now than when i didn't have a static IP.
How did you upgrade at 4.3?
Through official OTA?
if you could check it, reflash only radio.Img from factory Rom.

My issue is not that bad.. the only issue i have since the update is the wifi signal drops completely, and the router next to me on my desk. The signal comes and goes for a couple of minutes then goes back to normal

The upgrade was done via a full wipe (was rooted at the time) and flashed the image from Google. Phone has been stock since. After the upgrade, I noticed the Wi-Fi signal went from four bars in the living room to three. Before losing connectivity completely, then two. One to none happened pretty quick.
