mine problem similar with this but can detect after router restart
Does X10 have week signal reception or it's my idea?
When I 'm at home I have different signal sign on my laptop and X10. Sometimes it even disconnect while laptop connection works fine.
I was wondering if anyone else have the same issue, I tried on my galaxys ,galaxy s2 and even on my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi could connect but there is no data transfer, I have tried this on several routers in my office but the result is same, is this a bug on android or hardware problem?
I have tried static IP, change many things but no chance, I even tried on different kernels but...
** my friends with blackberry and Iphone can connect to the same router and have internet
most likely your office has blocked access through mobile devices

But as I say in the first post blackberry and iphone can connect
Yes I have the same prob, goes steady for ten mins, then just stops receiving a network connection, but my desire is fine. My honeycomb tablet does the same thing, but just turning wifi on and off fixes it. This appears to need a full reboot then works perfect again for a while. I've only had this phone two hours and have noticed it so surely others have.

I too faced the similar problem in the beginning dude...later some where in the forum one user stated to reduce the security level of modem or router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP/AES...then it works flawless...i don't know whether it is a problem with android or hardware...but most of the router or modem is secured with higher level of security which could not be accessed by our SGS2..i hope this would be fixed by software update..

Its is most likely router specific problem as its not a general problem and the majority have no problem with the highest security level .

It seems to be a problem with just some devices as indicated by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194635. For a high end smartphone worth £500, temperamental wifi is a problem i shouldn't have to put up with. My router has no problem with any other devices so it's clearly a fault with the phone.
Never had an issue with wifi and wpa / wpa2 on multiple hot spots and home. Try a factor reset and flash . On kf3 xeu

i have this problem try to set up data tranfer with this, is free and support galaxy s2 , just follow the steps and a messege will arribe with your data set up...
http://tweakker.com/wizard/step1
That tweaker site is for GPRS/3g connection, this thread is about WIFI connection, so it won't help.
I have wifi problems as well. It connects just fine when i first configured the network but it won't work back from standby, although it still looks connected it won't transfer any data. Today i noticed an extra detail, it would seem that an app that was connected was still working but anything else i started fresh (like openinng the browser to access a page) wouldn't work.
I also noticed it loosing connection once after using it continuously for around 15 minutes.
Still haven't tried changing the security settings on the router, but, i previously had an ipad2 (for a short time, then sold it because it's just an expensive toy) and it would display the same behaviour.
Before that, i had a Nexus S with the same router and it always worked flawlessly! No settings were changed in the router.
I'm going to try lowering the security to wpa or wep and test it later.
If it works it might be a problem with the router but it's also a problem with the device (phone/ipad).
EDIT: one more thing, when i first got the SGS2 it had an older rom (vodafone KE7 i think) and it worked flawlessly until i updated it to a newer version the next day. I can't be to sure this was the culprit because i didn't use it that much the day before and it was a fresh install so maybe the issue didn't have time to show up.
one of my friends has a captivate sgs he also has the same problem, seems to be an android bug, or maybe samsung, another issue on this phone is about the bluetooth , it can not discover my headset bluetooth (sony DR-BT50) I have tried galaxy s , galaxy s2 and galaxy tab 10.1 but none of them can discover the headphone seems my galaxy life is messed up
Well i had similar issues with my vibrant and even on my nexus one....i think it is android bug....but if u r using cm7 or miui...u can easily get rid of it...by going to wifi settings>>>>advanced settings>>>regulatory domain>>>>change it to 14 channels....
but my sgs2 doesnt have this prob so far....i used those settings on nexus one and vibrant....and it worked....
Hope this helps..

I din state anything like it is a general problem...and moreover i tried with my Cisco wifi and with belkin router i could not able establish connection with my sgs2 where as my iphone4 connects without any issues dude ...so i concluded that it could be a minor bug and can be resolved by software update ...

Surely it would be backwards compatible.
It should be meaningless if bluetooth 3 not support BT2.x many devices still using BT2.X, anyhow my laptop is bt2 but I can connect to my sgs or sgs2

My Glalaxy s 2 has the same problem. It was fine till i was on KF7 but things changed with KG6 now.
My SGSII connects fine to every WiFi I've tried to join (open and ones that I know the password for). That is at least 3 different models of D-Link routers, a few Belkin and others that I can't recall.
I don't count a connection until I can actually view the internet and live stream the radio and I have been on it for more than an hour (I was proving to an ipad & ipad2 users that there was nothing wrong with a WiFi router and it was their toys that kept on dropping the connection).
I am was using the E7 and now F3 stock ROMs.
I did have a problem for about half a day. It would say connected to the WiFi but I couldn't get to the internet. I had to switch off the WiFi and connect via data connection and then try again with the WiFi - sometimes it would work sometimes it didn't. The only thing I installed prior to the problem was the Twitter app (from the market). Once I uninstalled that app and rebooted the phone everything was working fine. I can't say for definite that it was the cause of the problem.
To the OP: since you are connected to the work's WiFi, could the problem with not seeing the internet be due to the Work using a proxy server. That is what my work has.

Well I have a router that was supplied by imagine.ie, its a Motorola router and they with-hold the password to change settings on the router, have you heard the like????
Anyway trying that twitter suggestion, maybe the sync function was causing intermitttent wifi problems
Edit: Scrap them not giving out passwords http://www.imagine.ie/wimax_hub_setup.html
After a few hours survey I could connect my phone to the wifi, but Im not sure if this method works for you, anyhow I will explain here check it on your phone and report back
-Downaload the application "wifi static" from the market and install
-turn your wifi on and then run the application
-in the application choose add configuration,a window will popup saying have found a wifi connection will ask you to set for this connection or no just accept
-exit the application and turn off wifi
-turn on wifi and try to connect to internet,if you can connect then you are done if you can not go to below
-go to wifi static and choose the configuration which is already set and change the DNS I changed DNS1 to 8.8.8.8 and DNS2 8.8.4.4
-reboot (maybe not neccessary but recommended to do)
-turn on wifi and connect to internet and check if you still can not then...
-wait for me for further study
Hi
i'm a biggener i installed taboonay with every thing ok. afetr ihad worked 3g hwuawi on my iconia a500 i lost wifi connection. wifi is fine with my laptop, but it doesnot work with iconia. even i updated to 2.2 .
wifi is working but can not find my home wifi network !!!
please help.
1- i installed taboonay 2.1
2- wifi ok
3- 3g dongle ok
4- wifi not working
5-update 2.2
6- still wifi not working
7- searching the internet for solution
i'm thinking of doing the following
1- reinstall taboonay 2.1
2- update to 2.2
3- 3g dongle
4- try wifi ????
what do ya think of this idea?
Seems I read somewhere awhile back, that the wifi won't work with the dongle inserted.
At least that's what I remember, and it seems your steps confirm this. I could be wrong though, as I use a 501.
I suppose, when you remove the dongle, Wifi starts working again?
Also, one other thing to try which seems to help a lot of people with home routers. Try changing channels on your router through the router admin.
Same problem
3g also work whenever i chose wifi mode or wifi and 3g!!!
I had this problem as well, but I hadn't installed anything, it simply just stopped working. I erased the iconia from
My network, then added it back. On the iconia I forgot the home network, and then found it again, re set the network settings, rebooted and re-installed the firmware and it was working again. Haven't had a problem since

Seems sensible as you can't use wifi and 3G on the A501 at the same time either, its one or the other....
I think I solved the wifi issue after updated to xxlq1 4.0.4
My p6800 updated to 4.0.4 and unable to connect home wifi, however, it connect to office wifi very stable.
Today, I tried to config wireless router, and found that my tab is able to connect when I set the wireless in wpa-tkip, and it keep connect strength and no problem now. (My router previous setting was in wpa2-aes)
I think it should be the p6800 driver problem, hope someone can fix it.
Thx
Sam

Hi. Nice to meet people from Hong Kong here. May I ask How's the xxlq1 Android 4.0.4 rom? Is it much smoother than original official Android 3.2? Any Pros and Cons compared with 3.2?
Thanks a lot.

I've a similar situation, the wifi connection to home wifi (Open, Mac Filtering, Dynamic IP) really sucks, but connection to office wifi (WPA, Hidden SSID, static IP) very good.
I've just factory reset my home wifi and set to using WPA-TKIP, Hidden SSID, but it didn't really help. My notebook, Galaxy Note, iPhone4s, iPad2 all get connection very quickly and stable, but not my Tab 7.7...
I update it from 3.2 with mobile ODIN without wipe to keep all apps and data, after update all apps work.
4.0.4 is good and smooth, only problem is wifi at home, but office work.
I backup the room, and tried fresh flash 4.0.4 only, and wipe all data, still not work.
So I think of router and try to config router to fix this issue.
Now I am happy with new rom.

Check them channel on the router. Find a clear channel using a wifi sniffer and try again. I did this and have no issues now.
