Hanging Wifi Problems on HTC Dream

ISSUE
Every 3 - 5 minutes while browsing, my wifi will "hang" (timeout when trying to access sites). Note: it doesn't disconnect, the wifi icon is still there as if I was connected, it will just timeout any requests.
TEMP FIX
Reconnecting will fix the problem until it occurs in another 3 - 5 minutes.
VERIFICATION
This is not an issue when using my device on my friend's home WIFI connection.
WHAT I'VE TRIED
Updating my Linksys WRT54G Ver. 2.0 router to the latest firmware.
Switching from WEP to WPA (TKIS) encryption.
Trying different wireless frequencies (i.e. different channels)
Manually setting MTU to 1500 for my broadband connection
Resetting router & Modem
Setting a static IP on my phone (only wifi settings I can change on my phone).
COMMENTS
I think switching from WEP to WPA (TKIS) sped up my connection (but didn't fix the hanging). I didn't do enough testing to verify this but I ran 4 speed tests (1 with WEP then 1 with WPA then one with WEP then one with WPA) and in all occasions with WPA (TKIS) encryption my speedtest results were nigh twice as fast as the results when using WEP encryption. Odd...?
This isn't an issue on my laptop when using my WIFI connection, however, that doesn't say much since I likely have a much better receiver in my laptop (an Intel wireless N card) and it's not to say my laptop gets a perfect connection (I can't play Team Fortress 2 on WIFI anymore because of lag spikes - need to play with wired connection), but it just doesn't have this hanging problem.
If anyone has any ideas of other things I could try to get this working I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hey,

have you solved the problem?
i have the same same issue with modem-router wifi Sitecom wl
Every 3 - 5 minutes while browsing, my wifi will "hang"
it doesn't disconnect, the wifi icon is still there as if I was connected,
if you had solved can you tell me how fix it?
Bye

Hi,
It looks that I've got the same issue as you have - the connection is still active (at least, the icon shows that), but after a couple of minutes, I cannot access any website.
Did you guys find any solution to this problem?
thank you very much

Ive had that problem with a few routers(i know the answers late, but maybe it will help someone at least). I had to disable the routers firewall. Once that was done, no disconnects. Weird.

Wifi issues

I have seen a lot of threads about wifi issues but never could find a straight answer. I received my galaxy tab today refurbed from newegg. Anyway, when I try to connect to my home wifi, it is WPA2, the tab says authenticating, but the wifi signal drops and it never connects, then the box pops up again asking for the key. If I use tethering on my phone with no protection it connects just fine. My question is, is there a trick to fox this, my second question is, if I install cm9 on it will that eliminate the problem completely? Thanks

I have heard about problems between the Galaxy 10.1 and specific wifi routers. The case which I followed closely was fixed by flashing new firmware into the router.

have occasionally put my wifi off then on again. then he works well

router
i had this issue. i changed my password, reset router, changed the wifi security to wep, changed the channel . after that, few hours later, to wpa2 and magically back to normal ...this is a router issue.

I changed the decription from aes to tkip on my router to exclude dropouts and have faster mbps

For what it's worth, I have this exact same issue on my Galaxy Ace.

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi - Can't Connect to Dlink DIR-645 Router.

I'm having major troubles with my girlfriends Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi connection.
At my house it connects perfectly.
At her house, with the Dlink DIR-645 N router it tries to connect. Tries to obtain an IP Address for a while, then says that it can't connect because the signal is too weak. (which it isn't) Full bars.
Many other devices connect to this Wifi flawlessly. (iPhone, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab 10.1, ASUS EEE-PC)
I've tried changing channels in the router settings,
I've tried taking off the security (WPA2)
I've tried renaming the SSID
I've tried adding the connection manually on the tablet. (not connect via scan)
I've tried updating the firmware on the Router and the Tablet.
I've tried a wipe/factory reset on the Tablet.
The only way I can get it to connect is to have it connect with a Static IP Address. If i do this, it'll connect and have internet access for a while. But sooner or later it gets booted. I don't want to set up static Ip address on the her router.
And I'm just confused that this doesn't work. Any suggestions? Should i try a custom rom and hope that it's a software issue?
It's going to be hard to get Samsung service to replace it, because it seems to work fine on some other routers.

May be try to change range of router to 2.4 ghz if it is 5 ghz
Or try a custom rom as cm10

Saw some posts about SGT2 have some troubles with n networks. So just try to switch router to b/g mode If it is set to n mode, it is should be help

Really? having trouble with N networks is a bit of a big issue isn't it?
I'll give it a go, but won't that affect transfer speeds and my ability to stream video from my NAS?

how to change it?

The problem is that the Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't have a 5 GHz radio. If you're using 802.11n in the 2.4 GHz band, it'll work with the GT2 (i.e. channels 13 and below). If you're using 5 GHz channels, then the tablet won't see the AP.

[Q] My Nexus 4 conect in Wi-Fi but don't access web

Guys, recently bought a Nexus 4 and it normally connects via wifi but can not connect.
I was using the Android 4.2.2 OTA updated to Android 4.3 and the problem persists.
The Nexus 4 connects normally, but the icons of wifi connection and carrier signal are gray instead of blue and even trying to install applications via Google Play or simply access a site via browser do not work and accuse the connection fails.
I was tested and the router's signal is good and other equipment that I usually work (other Android smartphones and notebook).
My router is standard G and I use WPA2.

Oddly enough, I have the Nexus just 3 days and only had access to the router so far from home, but today I'll look for a router to test the public.
But either way it's frustrating the Nexus 4 have these compatibility issues when connecting to a wifi router.
Before making the switch router, is it not possible to find out which configuration of WLAN could cause this? Does Google do not have this documented?

i feel your pain, been there
it could be your router, from the way it assigns ip addresses to your type of encryption. by any chance is it a linksys G router? that was my problem before until i just decided to get an N router.
did you try switching to WEP or open to see if the problem persists? or changing your gateway ip address? or changing which ch your wifi is on?
never hurts to try

Should factory reset your router and upgrade firmware first, then immediately connect to it without encryption and see if it work.

Wifi connection keeps turning off and then on again

So I have been using my Redmi Note 7 for at least 6 months. The wifi signal has been working fine until I changed the router. The router actually gives a very strong connection(up to 63mbs) but randomly everyday my wifi connection turns off. The wifi connection works fine for my computer and other devices though. I'm wondering if this is to do with my phone or my router? Any suggestions will be appreciated.?

I've had some weird Wifi issues as well, though I've seen it on certain other devices too. It has something to do with my home network setup. I found that the best solution was just to use a static IP when on my home network. I just had to be careful to use an address that was outside the range assigned by router. I also had to use the great google to find that a prefix length of 24 means a netmask of 255.255.255.0

Hey, you probably fixed the problem. I had this same problem with all modems, cable works and wifi disconnect. Try disabling ipv6 on modem/router.

Thanks guys!
I've been going through this for the past month as well... Thought my phone was going nuts turns out we just changed the router to a different brand as well
