I run my N7_16G_WIFI stock.
I received the 4.2.2 update over the weekend. Now, though my wifi seems to be connected, and you see upstream/downstream animation in the notification area, play music isn't downloading the download queue, but fails. Websites load, but speedtest app fails to complete the searching for server phase. Installing apps from the play store works, eventually, but Netflix, YouTube, and other medium to high bandwidth apps are not. Even my weather app will only load the weather alert page, yet maps, forecast, etc are unusable.
Will test LAN performance to gauge the extent of the problem, perhaps related to traffic passing through the gateway. No other devices on the network are affected, however. I usually stream files from my DLNA server with no problem, so I can test that tonight.
Has anyone had any issues with flaky WIFI after the update? I had no such issues before.
I've been having constant disconnect/auto reconnect after the update to 4.2.2. No other device on my network is having this issue though.

My wi-fi was flawless before the update and is just as good after 4.2.2. I sincerely doubt the update caused a problem if it installed correctly. Many posts refer to fixing wi-fi issues by updating/resetting the router. I have a pretty new router with the latest firmware update.

My first thought was it may have been the router as well, but my Nexus has been experiencing constant disconnects on every network I've connected to.

Same here. I expect to have problems in my neighborhood; Urban area and everyone has WiFi. I brought it to work to test on our Meru network, though, and still had the same problem. At work, we are the only building on a 100+acre lot, with saturated WiFi signal. I still had the same issues.
On a factory upgrade, not sure what I could have done incorrectly, since I just tapped "Yes, install" and went to bed.

My unrooted Xoom does not want to keep connected to my wifi signal since the upgrade. I did not have this problem before, but now if I set the Xoom down for a minute or so, the screen on or not, and pick it back up it is no longer connected. Sometimes I find I am without a signal when clicking on a link just after entering a web site while actively surfing. I have the wifi disconnect policy set "Never." Is anyone else experiencing more problems since the upgrade?
No issues for me so far.

The only wifi problem I have is the kernel wifi driver memory leak mentioned elsewhere. My xoom will eventually reboot itself if left on wifi overnight.

This really sounds like the WiFi driver leak problem as mentioned before. Your symptoms are exactly what I was experiencing, pre upgrade.
The workaround is to not set the disconnect policy to "Never". Since I have turned that off, I have not seen the problem.
Nope... no problem here... tried to restart?

Sorry, no problems here with wifi.

No problems here either.
Thanks everyone for all the input.
I must have missed the discussion on the wifi driver leak problem but will do a search on it. If you don't use the "never" setting, which one do you use? It looks like a compromise with the other two settings as I like to have the email and the internet ready and waiting when I turn the Xoom on.
To another suggestion, I have tried rebooting several times.
After further use, it now appears to be an intermittent problem as on occasion today it has not been dropping out.
Im also having this problem since the OTA with my Wireless tether connection.
The tiamat kernel fixes the wifi issues. Check it out in the dev section
i am running stock xoom non rooted. I too am seing issues occasionally with wifi. I have noticed the signal has become lower since the upgrade. My connection used to he good and now ranks as fair. I have restarted bit he the access point and the xoom no change
The Iconia is my first Android device. I decided to go with it over the iPad since I just couldn't justify buying something that felt like a huge version of my phone.
With that being said I have issues with the market. I keep getting load errors when searching/pulling up an app to read the description. Is this an issue with the android market or an issue with my device?
I also have issues with the stock browser but I am going to try Dolphin to see if it helps.
What kind of error?
If it's load error and it gives you options to Retry or Cancel then your Wifi is not connected or losing connection.
That is the issue I'm having. Would the wifi issue be related to the tablet? I have no issues on my notebook and iphone.
i've had problems with some wireless routers and my iconia. make sure you have updated firmware for your router. it's a quick and easy fix if it works. also try wep instead of wpa. lowered encryption will sometimes clear up an issue with compatibility.
I'll look into that. My router is pretty old and I have never done squat with it.
I updated my firmware on my router and so far tonight I haven't had the market freeze or have any errors. I do have another question and that is why doesn't my apps show up under installed in the market? I also have two installed apps that are listed as not installed in the market,

Has anyone been experiencing wifi issues recently? The wifi seems to disconnect frequently for no reason at home, even with strong signal strength. Generic UK firmware (rooted) with the latest xloud update. I have unfrozen everything for a few days to test it, but it still has issues. The issues seem to recently have started, but I didn't have them before the xloud update.. hmm..
What I've tried: taking battery out for half an hour, enabling/disabling wifi, deleting/readding wifi access point, and most up to date router firmware (Linksys E3000).
same here.. additionally, as compared to the previous version of 2.3.3 (3.0) the WiFi switch this time takes around 800% longer to connect fully to a network.. jeez
i have a blazing fast connection with a linksys router, so that's not the problem...
I'm having the same problem. Did the x loud update this morning and ever since refusing to connect to wifi networks.
Constantly scanning, connecting then disconnected.
Only tried it on my work wifi so far will test some more on home wifi tonight.

How far are you from your router? I don't get dc even when I have one bar in the house. Before I would get dc with 3bars. I bought a new netgear rangeboost router that fixed everything.

I'm in a condo, at any point I am pretty damn close to the router It's a Linksys E3000 with a lot of transmit power. I didn't have these issues before the xloud update, though, and don't have these issues on other phones and wifi devices.
Yea that's a good router. Is it really running N mode only.

802.11n only, on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Blazing fast for all clients (especially on 5ghz), except for when the Xperia Play doesn't want to stay connected.
Anyone been able to solve this issue?
I also have this problem on my R800x, even after yesterday's OTA update to 2.3.3. But it's not recent for me; it's an issue I've always had with this phone. =/
Did you guys go to wifi settings » Advanced and changed the wifi sleep policy to never?

Also try going to your router set up page to see if it's assigned the same ip as another client. Otherwise there might be something wrong with with your wifi radio...
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
It is set to never sleep. No IP address conflicts (multiple locations have the same problem). Only started happening after OTA xloud update.
The only thing left to do is to clear cache on your play. Remove the wifi. Reset and reconfigurate your router and modem also.

Which cache?
I've had problems on the last stock ROM. CM7 cured all those issues for me.
The clear cache you click when flashing a new rom. Like re do your phone from the start.

Well that just sucks. I guess I'll wait until 2.3.4 comes out and hope it fixes the issue.. it's clearly a bug introduced with the xloud update.
I retract me previous complaint. Since the 2.3.3 OTA, I'm noticing the phone is simply renewing its lease with the router. While the signal strength on the phone isn't as good as the original Droid, it seems to be fine. I'm looking more at the rest of the network.
I'm starting to think it's my router giving issues. Why would it need to renew the lease constantly, when it should be 24 hours? I have standby set to never.

I've got 3 brand new routers (my place, friend's place, parent's place) that are all giving issues with the new firmware. I definitely think it's SE's fault on this one, as my gf's Desire Z with 2.3.3 doesn't have any issues.
The wifi refused to stay connected to all my networks (home, parent's house, work). Finally, today I have decided to flash back to Generic UK 2.3.2 and rooted. Now wifi stays connected perfectly (downloading all the games back, several gigs complete). Looks like it was a firmware problem. I'll wait for 2.3.4 to be available OTA before I hit update this time (skipping xloud update completely).
I'm having problems connecting to the corperate wifi with my Nexus 10, I've used an android tablet berfore on it, TF101 connected without any problems, I've seen issues reported with the Nexus 7 and Wifi, has anyone else had and issues connecting to WPA/EAP with Certifcate authentication.
The device is crrectly registered as it can connect to another SSID which uses the same mac database

Bump.
Any fix to this issue? We use WPA/EAS and I get "not in range". Some people got it to work and some didnt. there's an open bug being tracked on Google (Issue 34212) but no workable solution on the N10.
Having problems with optimium wifi. I have to sign in everytime, while on my phone/laptop its not needed.
I downloaded the wifi register app from optimium, but it can't sign in with that. Any solution?

My connection stays strong (max bars) when for example playing a youtube video, but after while the video endlessly buffers (or freezes) until, either I jump in and out of multitasking screen or restart the WiFi connection. It's as if it can't reinitialize the stream for some reason. I have the same problem downloading apps and other media, i.e. good signal, stable connection, but just seems to time out continuously. It's driving me mental, without reliable WiFi the device is next to useless. I'm hoping it's a software issue that will be addressed soon, but if not I suppose it's RMA time.

I had the same issue with YouTube last night. It took me a while to get the connection back at one point. I rebooted the device and the router and I eventually got my connection back. I would tend to think it is a combination of Android and the router that will eventually be worked out with an Android software update.
First - Hi all, long time reader but this is the first time I've needed to start a thread - so sorry about my first post being a problem/Q!
I've not had my Nexus 4 long, but have got some pretty annoying Wi-Fi issues. I've searched for answers but it seems that people have different Wi-Fi problems and I just wanted to see whether my issue was a common one and, if so, is there a fix on the horizon?
My issue is that I can connect to some routers but not to others (work, home, most open networks)... when I connect it simply says "saved, secured with WPA/WPA2" but wont then connect.
Phones running stock 4.2.1 with franco kernel r28 and the things I have tried are:
Resetting routers
Assigning static IP address
Wi-Fi direct from my Nexus 7
Cleared cache from recovery
changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
Flashed new kernel
Very frustrating and because of my signal the lack of Wi-Fi has made me go back to my old phone while I wait for a fix... which connects perfectly to the networks (S3 running CM 10.1)
Is this a 4.2.1 issue - as seems to be the consensus with other Wi-Fi issues or possibly a hardware issue?
Thanks for any info!
There's one fix you've not tried which might work for you (it didn't for me). You would have to be rooted though, which is going to system/etc/dhcpcd and changing the permission on dhcpcd-run-hooks to read and execute from "others". This help some people out but turns out for me that my router isn't compatible with my phone. (DSL-2780).
I've noticed that some of the mobile devices(eg iPhone 3gs, SGS2) are quite sensitive to wireless channel which your router/ap broadcast on.
Try manually switch to channel 6 or 8 that solved my issue - I don't believe in incompatible routers usually problems are related to config.
It is more complicated with an access to the public WiFi as you can not modify the setup.

Just to update.
I've now tried this and still can't connect to the affected Wi-Fi networks, probably going to have to wait for 4.2.2 to see if that fixes it...
I had troubles connecting to my wifi network here in my house, which worked pretty good with my galaxy nexus, what i did and worked was deactivating the option "avoid poor connections" in wifi advanced settings, you should give this a try

I too have wifi issues with my N4. We have several phones at home - an HTC Aria and believe it or not the SGS1, SGS2 and SGS3!
All of them connect with no problems. My brand new N4 will see the router but refuses to connect until I toggle wifi on/of serveral times in succession, sometimes 6-8 times!
I have avoid poor wifi disabled but it does not help
I really hope El Goog fixes this asap as it is very frustrating.
I've had this issue forever. Android phones hate low or overcrowded signal. Though my nexus 7 always works fine. Makes me think it is the lack of WiFi antenna strength
