for those with wifi 'broken' try to change your router settings to WPA2 personal (TKIP+AES) that seems to work for me now,
other settings 'broke' the wifi
this might be just an issue with must me and my router
*spoke too soon: still broken, it only works certain times, mostly it just spins when i try to connecto to online
the wifi icon keeps flashing a black dot... that means the wifi is NOT working right? it should be just a solid blue bars?
on wifi advanced settings, WPS Pin Entry - what is this and do i need to enter that pin on my router?
still no luck with wifi on my network after flashing back to stock 4.2 from 4.2.1
same 'broken' wifi
might be this phone's wifi hardware is incompatible with wDDRT router?
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std
my other wifi devices work perfectly fine, so im really stumped
in phones advance wifi settings it has this WPS entry - what is this and is it somehow not allowing me full wifi?
i can view playstore,, it checks and loads my gMail but it won't connect to websites
it takes so long to download and install apps from playstore, i have to hit cancel, redownload, reinstall to get it working,etc. its not 'instant' like normal 20Mbps wifi should be
ran speedtest.net app and it wont connect to any servers
if anyone has clues to why my wifi is broken, please PM me thanks
it get a blue 3 to 4 bars on wifi signal but it keeps having this 'black' dot flashing in that wifi signal bar, (what is that?)
shows connected to my wifi at 72Mbps at good strength
I found my solution: in my router I unchecked the option WMM (Wi-Fi-multimedia)-settings (2.4GHz b/g/n). After I activated it, my data speeds increased enormously. Try it & report!

Public wifi and my work wifi working perfect with n4. So it definitely my routers wddrt firmware issues with n4... still gottta figure it
Sent from my TC970 (Wi-Fi) using xda app-developers app
My n4 will not connect to any of the WPA2 AP's around here.
I have the opposite problem. I can connect to my WPA2 router at home just fine but cannot connect to the WEP wifi at work. Well, not reliably. I've gotten connected twice, but was unable to recreate the conditions.

I had speed problems with my 5GHz band at home. Connected, but couldn't get over 1Mbps on my 30+ connection. Connected to the 2.4Ghz band and I get significantly faster speeds. Haven't had problems connecting though.

I've noticed similar behavior, seems like my 5ghz signal strength is much weaker than my 2.4ghz signal according to my n4.
So this n4 is picky about. Certain WiFi networks.configs
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Sometimes, my N4 loses wifi connection at work. It's inconsistent. My work wifi is open but MAC filtered.
There have been 3-4 times when I noticed that it lost wifi connection. I had to turn off wifi radio and back on to reconnect.
OTOH, connection to home DD-WRT wifi router is rock solid.
Set lease time for as long as possible, it normally this is 2 weeks..

Hello, I am also having problems with WIFI. I've tried a lot of things (change the router configuration, the cellular exchange kernel, etc ...) but I could not fix this problem. Can you give any more ideas? I've even thought about buying another router but can be giving the same problem.
I used my wife's phone as a router and it works normally, but when I connect directly to the router from home and he trasfere data only for a few moments and then transferring data, although still seem the symbol of wifi connected.
I found changing a setting on the Nexus 4 seems to have remedied most of my WiFi issues. Forcing the WiFi frequency band to 2.4GHz only instead of Auto appears to have done the trick for me.
In WiFi if you select Settings and Advanced under Wi-Fi frequency band there is an option to force 5GHz or 2.4GHz with the default on Auto.

Do other devices connect with your home WiFi router? If doesn't then its likely your router is broken. If does then try resetting your router.

I have the same problem as yours. My galaxy jb 4.1.2 not work with home wifi. ..in office it works well with all wifi routers.
My laptop and other desktop connect very well with home wifi. Galaxy s3 always said connecting. .contacting. ...
I think the problem is with the security type with wifi router/modem. My home wifi set to wep security.
Try to change security type of your wifi router then tell us it works or not.
On ics it works fine but in jelly bean it never work.
My HTC One X can connect to my 5ghz wireless N network just fine, but my Nexus 10 can't even detect it. I was on ParanoidAndroid so I factory reset and flashed back to stock. That didn't solve it either.
Any idea why this is happening? I don't remember if I ever tried connecting to the N network.
Thanks in advance.
Mine connects to a 2.4 wireless N just fine... Never tried connecting to a 5

I have mine connected to a 5ghz wireless N network. Go to your WiFi settings and click the menu and select advanced. Click WiFi frequency band and make sure its set to auto.
Hope this helps.

Also make sure you have the right region selected for your wifi
Check your channels, there was a thread about it a while back.

Thanks for all the suggestions guy. In the end, I think the problem was the router. Apparently the Nexus 10 couldn't connect to certain frequency. I had to test a few and finally found one that the tablet was able to detect. Meanwhile, One X works fine on all.
My N4 is no longer able to detect my home network. It detects my neighbor's network and several other networks, although it cannot connect to any other network. When I try to connect to a detected network, it just says "Saved". My home network is working fine and several other devices in the home are connected to it. In fact, my wife's N4 is still connecting with no issues. I have tried rebooting the phone, rebooting the router, telling the phone to forget the network, changing the channel on the router, no success. Running version 4.4.4.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong or ideas for a fix?
Thanks,
b
You haven't inadvertently switched the WiFi frequency from automatic to 5GHz have you? It's just that I had a similar problem and that's what had happened.

Hello everybody!!
I have a problem with my S7 edge...
When i turn on the wifi my S7 edge connect to my wifi and after 1minutes my phone lose the wifi...And after 5-10seconde my phone find the wifi
When i go to the menu wifi i see on my wifi" Internet not available"
I try on my computer and other phone and the wifi work....
What is the problem??Software problem or hardware problem?
Please don't say me it's a hardware problem
My 4g works good!!
Thank you so much
It could be a problem with your WiFi access point. I know some Broadcom chipsets can crash when certain devices try to connect over 802.11g. If you have a wireless N 5 Ghz radio, you could try to connect to that SSID instead. I have a router that started having constant WiFi crashes when I got my new phone, but I just had to get on the 5 Ghz SSID and it stopped crashing.
Thansk for the answer !! it's work
