Every time i connect nexus 4 to my home wi-fi. Every other device gets terrible connection speed... Before nexus 4 my Nexus 7 had steady speeds up to 20mbps. With nexus 4 connected speeds go down to 5-3 mbps and even when i disconnect n4 from my home wi-fi router still acts really strange and i have to reboot it. Anybody experienced anything like that?

I have three desktop computers, an iPad, an iPod, a Roku unit, and two smartphones sharing the same wifi signal. My speeds don't seem to vary any regardless of the number of devices sharing it at any given time. I would have to call my service provider if I found myself in your situation.

Yep, same.
To the op, I'd say either reboot the router (which you probably have done) and / or see if there's a firmware update for the router.
If no cure, call your internet provider.
Ok.. Forgot to mentioned that n4 also loses wifi connection from time to time.
Seems like im not the only one.. People post similar problems.

I have seen this before. It happens in mixed networks (old B laptop used to crash the WiFi AP when G clients were also connected).
1) Check for a firmware update to your router. This is most likely where your issue is. The router speed should drop and increase as needed, but buggy firmware may only keep in last slowest speed until a reboot.
2) Mixed encryption (WPA & WPA2) is a nightmare Force "WPA2 only with AES only" -or- "WPA only with TKIP only". Some clients may try to use WPA with AES and this was what was crashing my AP at the time.
3) If you still have issues, try using "G&N" only, or even force G only. Some older G clients don't hear N traffic, so they just transmit on top of it.
4) Last resort, look for a used router that can run DD-WRT firmware. Personally, I will never go back to OEM router firmware.
Hope this helps...
i used Wi-Fi Analyzer and it showed 2 really strong signals on the same channel.. one being mine and the other someone's else. i manually changed it from 11 to channel 5 and everything back to normal/// 20mbps just like before!

Hi every one. I just got my N4 last week and i experiense the exact same thing!!!!
this is realy bad because every time i use the wireless network every body in the house starts complaining because my N4 shuts down all connections here.
It works alright with the main router wich is a thomson. but it fails with the other two routers (that are Belkin - N) that are only access points!
I realy want this fixed because not having internet at home is quite bad!

Have any of you guys had any problems with Wi-Fi on the Galaxy Tab?
I've been trying to connect this device with a wide range of routers and keep ending up with no or a very poor signal.
Just upgraded to firmware P1000XWJJ3 and the problem persists.

How far away from the router? Any walls between?
My Tab works pretty well if i'm close to the router, but with some distance between - oh say 5-6 meters - it rapidly decreases and soon enough drop the connection all together. Very strange, been trying different routers and different settings and it's the same all over the board.
Regarding the firmware (JJ3), just go to http://www.samfirmware.com/ click "Tablets" and select firmware and then install with Odin. Easy as one, two, three.
MIne works fine with through thick walls on the balcony. What wireless security/ preamble type have you got? Is the router set to 20/40? Is it transmitting at 100% or auto?
The router doesn't matter. If i sit on my balcony smoking a cigarette, I either have a weak signal or the tab switches to 3G. My phone or laptop hold the signal easily.
The distance is like 5 meters and 3 wals between us. One of them concrete. But my phone holds the signal there, while my tab doesn't. On the other hand my wife's SE Xperia X10 barely holds inside the living room. So I guess android in general is not that good with wireless.

Of course the router matters mate. Instead of guessing why dont you try to troubleshoot... surely logic alone will tell you that its not your tab as a)noone else is having this problem b)your xperia is.
If it ain't broken - don't fix it. This router serves half a dosen of devices. Only android ones are having issues.
My laptop, my wife and my daughter's laptops, my htpc and my son's desktops as well as my phone are OK with it. It is on 100% and no encryption. I have it for years now and it never disappointed me. Why should I blame the router?
For one thing, if youve had it for years it is possible there are firmware updates that will immediately improve the connection of both your working devices and the newer, less backwards compatible android devices.
There are also security frames and CTS overhead to consider. Your router may just be too old to communicate with the newer radios in the android devices. These things happen all the time. Just google wifi problem and add any device you can think of to the end of that... there will be people conplaining about weak signal everywhere, and its usually the routers that are at fault.
EDIT: If it aint broke dont fix it is not an acceptable philosophy for a gadget lover

Well we have several people tried flashing this firmware and it is failing.
Can you be more specific on how you flashed it?
Which PIT file did you use?
Did you select repartition in ODIN?

explanation
The problem is almost certainly your old wifi router having bugs with PSP (power save mode). Android relies on the PSP standard to reduce the power usage on Wifi, your laptop and other old devices probably don't. I've seen old routers disconnecting almost immediately with android devices...
You can try setting "Wifi Sleep Policy" set to "Never" (will impact battery live, obviously). Though there was a bug fixed in ~July where Android would still use PSP, and the tab might not have the fix yet.
But the best fix is to buy a new router. It is broken, standards-wise, and needs to be fixed. Also, newer wifi routers are a lot faster and generally hold the connection better, so its really a no-brainer...
Ditto my brother!

I have to agree... I have two instances of WiFi use with my new Tab:
1) At home, older Netgear router (not that old mind you) - DG834PN - Does 802.11b/g/Super G
2) At work, brand new Netgear router (brand spankin' new) - Wireless N etc
At work, my connection on the tab is consistent without a drop out, fault less and constantly fast. Even the signal strength is good across the other side of the building.
At home however on my older router (no Wireless N) it's slow, signal strength is poor and constant drop outs are present. I need to hit "Retry" on the network connection box so often at home.
So yeah I feel that should be fairly conclusive. The Tab seems to like brand new wireless hardware.
No wonder. 802.11N is much stronger WRT to power since it has 2 antennas. But it is still the tab to blame that it doesn't hold a signal of standard equipment.
Actually, the problem you're having at home is super g. Its not a wireless standard. If it is working in 20/40 auto mode, just switch it to 20 only. This should improve your network connection in general.
Also gonsider using g only - b is pretty redundant by now.

My router lists b and g, g only or Auto 108mbps.
I have had it selected on g only for a while now.
What settings does it have for the super g... does it give you the option of disbling pairing or something like that? It could be the bonding that causes your disconnects.
hi folks,
this happens both my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus from time to time. While connected to my home wifi they will loose internet connection. They are still connected to my router as i can ping devices on the network. I have to disconnect and reconnect to get net access back again. Im using WPA2 Personal encryption on the routher with tkip/aes
Anyone else experience anything simillar? I have no issues on my work wifi.. it stays connected all the time
Cheers,

Comment 31 by lamyjeanfrancois, Aug 16, 2012
Changing home router to a wrt-based asus rt-n66u and boosting the output power to the maximum US allowed value of 100mW fixed it for me. Other devices were working fine, even lowly archos 28 mini tablets. It seems that jb is misinterpreting signal strength.

Some testing last night, i upped the output power on my ddwrt router - that didnt stop the issue from happening. Then i went with a static IP. This seemed more stable but i still lost connectivety at one point, only for it to return on its own - before i would have had to connect/disconnect from the access point to restore internet. More testing tonight.. its very frustrating! I dont think its a hardware issue as its happening with both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Anyone else having simillar issues?
Same here
I Experience the same, happens almost every hour or so.
All my other wi fi devices have no problems, just nexus 7
Hehehe it seems many of us having wifi range issue. I checked my wifi signal strength thru wifi analyzer app and it seems wifi is solid if only I always have more than -40dBm strength. Which means I needed to be always closer to the router, can't make it when I'm already at my room. Quite annoying but I guess I had to send it to service center.

Same problem here....
Weird thing is I have 2 routers connected to each other (dhcp off on second one), having same problem on both routers. I thought it was the internet connection as my HTC Desire does the same thing.
I also tested the nexus 7 wifi with my 3g Desire via hotspot.... and no issues at all for 3 hours+.
So i'm pretty sure its not a nexus issue, unless there are some compatability issues from my nexus to the router.
Ideas anyone?
using static IP at home seems to be stable.. cant understand what different though between work and home that it works fine in the office.. must be a config parameter on my access point at home

I'm really happy with the phone so far, but my wifi disconnects fairly regularly and I keep getting a force close on the SMCC Process (whatever that is). Anyone else having problems?
I just read the thread below this and that issue seems similar.
EDIT: I tried turning off the smart wifi, but it still loses connection. The phone still shows that it's connected to whatever wifi signal, but stops downloading. This happens both at home and at work, so I don't believe it's related to the router itself.
I'm seeing the same issue on mine as well. Noticed it last night playing Pandora via wifi. Would play like 3 songs then nothing. I would have to toggle wifi on/off to get Pandora playing again.

Sounds like basically the same thing. If I wait long enough, it comes back on its own, but it's faster to just cycle wifi or airplane mode once. It's fairly frustrating, and I even found myself just using 3G to do things last night instead of Wifi.
seems to be a known issue in other S4 forums:

Mixed Mode WIFI
I had this exact same problem with my EVO 4G LTE, the problem was the mixed mode WIFI. (B,G,N). On the EVO it turned out to be an easy fix because there was a setting in the WIFI menu to force either B or G. As soon as I selected one mode I had a solid internet connection. The problem here is there does not seem to be an option in the S4 settings to allow this. I have been trying to force single mode on my router to see if that will fix it but my router will not allow me to turn it off either. Pretty serious bug I would say.
WIFI worthless on brand new S4

I really wish I could find a resolution to this. I'm thinking of wiping my phone and starting over to make sure it isn't an app issue, but man that's a lot of work.
Im having the same issue as well.. Im almost positive its common issue and i would expect it to be addressed in the next OTA
The common link seems to be DLink router. We have a Cisco Linksys router and it stays hooked up solid on that.
I have an Asus router. Don't know if there are usually problems with those or not, but I haven't had any prior issues.
I have a Cisco e4200 stock and a Asus running ddwrt operating as a wireless bridge to extend my network. I had to turn off mixed mode on both devices to resolve the issue. Hope that helps.

I have the same problem but I have Netgear routers. The one at my house works fine, but at my other location. The wifi drops.
Same problem on dlink
Adding my 2 cents because I have 2 S4's that I've been testing with and I'm getting mixed results... my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right!
I have 2 wireless routers at home:
- DLink DIR-655
- One provided by my ISP (Bell Canada; not sure of the model at the moment)
The DIR-655 is troublesome for BOTH S4 devices; they stay connected for a few minutes (or longer in some cases) but will always end up not transferring data even though they show as having a very strong signal. Turning wifi on/off always fixes the issue for a short period of time.
Knowing that there seem to be compatibility issues with the S4 and DLink router, I switched them both over to the Bell router. Now only one of the devices has the wifi issue described above.
I found it odd that changing the router being used fixed the issue for one of the devices but not the other. I'm now questioning whether one device has a hardware issue or not (doubtful on this, but worth questioning).
Both S4's have the most up-to-date firmware as do all of the routers in the house. No other devices (iPhones, laptops, apple tv, etc...) have any issues with the wifi.
I've tried resetting the routers, forgetting the wifi connection and setting it back up, rebooting the phone, smashing my head against the wall; nothing seems to have worked permanently.
Is it possible that this is a hardware issue and not a software issue? Has anyone else had similar results with multiple devices?
fix....?
this wifi drops are due to the router WIFI signal setting. it will drop it you are using a B/G Mixed signal/ B/G/N Mixed signal. i recommend setting it on 802.11 g. or, if all your Devices in the house have N use N since it has more bandwidth. i use G because of the PS3
Hope this helps resolve the issue for you guys, it sure did for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can attest that this wasn't a permanent solution for me. After switching to N mode only, the amount of times the issue occurred was reduced, but still happens at least once per day.
It's also a pain when I'm connected to networks where I have no control over the wireless settings (work, public networks, friends networks).
I have a linksys modem and router. Haven't had a single connection issue with this phone as I had with my EVO. As my wifi disconnects and reconnects right away. Lol. First time that has happened. Knocked on wood.

Hey kids.
I came from the S3 the beginning of November. One of the "new" annoyances I've come across is a notification that the wifi connection Internet speed is too slow. Which is bull. The only way to reconnect after that is to reboot. Sometimes enabling airplane mode does it as well. So my question is twofold. Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone figured out how to turn this stupid setting off?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't encountered any of these problems. My Wi-Fi signal it's weak at times, but when I have a good connection internet speed is fast

Thanks. Actually did the power save to off this morning. Happened again this afternoon. As far as switch to 5ghz, I've found that my wifi signal's reach gets cut by about 20-30 feet on that band. Which means I lose reception in part of my basement. I can move my router more centrally in the house, but overall speed suffers (goes from a solid 8-10mbps connection to about 1.5 mbps) cuz the wiring to that receptical is sketchy.
I can get that stupid message in the same room as the router.

yeah 5ghz band will cut your signal strength in half probably. Maybe buy a dual band wireless access point? Its wierd that your speed goes down on 5ghz. Mine practically doubled on my note 3. My house connection is 100mbps / 5mps. On 2.4ghz i can only get up to 30 mbps, when i enabled 5ghz wifi, i shot up to ~110mbps down.

that's ridiculous... buy another router or access point? Its the phone, not the internet, when you get the notification when you're right next to the router. The Note 3 is the only device on my house giving me Wi-Fi issues. Sorry I don't mean to sound like an arse, but it seems silly to buy a phone and have to replace your router, when everything else works just fine with the WiFi signal.
Just to clear up, speed goes down when I connect to the other phone plug. So my router (brand new, furnished by internet provider) is on one side of my house. And this happened before moving in mid Nov as well. Before was cable Internet, now dsl. It's the best thing I can get @ current location.
I'm not sure if it will actually solve anything, but I received the latest update ota. Tomorrow gonna download latest firmware and flash via odin avter wiping everything with safestrap.

Kancerstick pretty much had it right. Rather than switching the band from direct 2.4 to 5.0 though, go into your router settings and look for a setting that says "channel".
What channel are you running on? There are 1-11 channels, try different ones or the idea is to find the one that matches the channel of the phone/client device

The one solution that did work for me was to go into the WIFI Settings -> Advanced option under the menu key -> Uncheck the "Auto network switch" option. I haven't had any further issues with that message so far.
tried everything...
I think I have tried everything on this issue. I got my note 3 a few days ago and it will not keep a stable network connection. tried:
1. uncheck the auto switch
2. turn off mobile networks
3. turn off wifi when sleeping
4 changed my router to static ip and not DCHP
5. forget and reconnect to network
6. reset router
I don't thing I can change my router settings anymore or I will have issues with other equipment
I am sitting right next to my router and everything else works fine but my note 3 will not keep a connection. I keep running speed test and half the time it works and half the time I get a no connection error.
Any other thoughts? Should I try another unit?
Hello, I own 2 nexus players, suddenly 2 days ago after working well, both started to develop slow wifi connections, streaming is nearly impossible, I downloaded a web browser for the device and opened a speed test page, the maximum speed registered is no more than 1.5 mbps while my internet connection is 10 mbps, all my other wireless devices get at least 9.8 mbps when tested the connection, strangely in the nexus playerthe speed increases a little more during the morning at the most to 3 mbps. I tried everything regarding the router, at first I used my dsl router wifi then I turned it of and started using my airport extreme, no changes in my nexus players, and getting full speed in my other devices, then I connected the nexus players to the airportextreme 5ghz wifi network, no change, I also tried to get the router closer to the nexus player, no change.
The last thing I tried is to share my mobile 4g connection to the nexus player which is about 25 mbps, I was standing next to the nexus player and the fastest speed it got was 1.5 mbps.
The problem occur in both nexus players, my other wireless devices get full wifi network speed, I dont know what else to do. Is this a common known issue?
How far away are they from the router? I have my router and NP #1 in the same room, and 5ghz signal is excellent. But the signal for NP #2 in the bedroom is lousy, so it uses the 2.4ghz band.
Maybe try using a wifi analyzer app to see what the best channels are for your router?
The router is at the most 15 feet from the nexus player. The strange thing is that both worked fine for about 3 months and suddenly at the same time they presented this problem. Could it maybe a firmware update? Mmmm When I shared my 4g connection I was three feet from the nexus player, I have no further ideas of what could be the problem. Neither google nor asus have responded my emails.

same problem
Exactly the same problem I have. It started today. I have even performed factory reset but without any help. It runs 6.0 software but until today everything works fine. My internet connection is 40/20 mb/s and all other devices works just fine.Anyone knows what can be?

most likely a driver incompatibility issue that came with the latest update.
I assume this to be the case since I used to have wifi problems with the Nexus player in the past, which used to disconnect from my wifi sometimes, especially with my 5GHz wifi, to which it never managed to stay connected more than a few days in a row. And all of those problems are gone after the new update. So I assume that the changes fixed things for some people (like me) and broke things for others (like you). My speed from the Nexus Player is blazing fast as well, it maxes out my connection when performing a speed test.

Thanks for reply.
If it is happend right after I have updated to 6.0 I will understand but three weeks later....
Somewhere I read that NP can be connected with wlan cabel using wlan adapter.If is it possible do you think it will solve the problem?

It should solve the problem. Also I've heard wlan cables come cheap these days on ebay.
Maybe a neighbor is now using a bad channel. See adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference.
Hi @mladost13, did you solved the slow wifi issue on Marshmallow?

Apparently my dsl modem blacklisted both nexus players, i don't know why, so the bandwidth for the two devices was limited. What i did was to reset the modem, problem solved temporarily, I already had to reseted it twice, as it blacklisted the np again. After doing that the speed in my nexus players is back to nearly 10 mbps again.

Tanks! I deleted Nexus Player from wifi devices list (in router network manager) and bandwith comes back!
