So I got the Nexus 7 today from Amazon, did the setup, connected to wifi and had no issues. Very soon after, the Wifi showed it was still connected, but I couldn't update apps, go on the browser, get emails, etc. It looks like the Wifi is connected, but nothing that requires a connection is working. I tried factory resetting, but nothing helped. Has anyone else come across this issue? And ideas on what might be the problem?
Had that same issue. Rebooting my router fixed it for me.
Are you using 5ghz? 2.4?
I've been traveling all week and had no problems with my home 2.4/5ghz Linksys router nor any hotel access points I've used. Seems to work great. So you can't get online at all? No browser, no email, no apps, no play store, etc?
Perhaps you typed your password in wrong. What about router security?
Mine was doing some crazy stuff like that as well.
I rebooted the device and haven't seen that since.

Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.
I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.
I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.

Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.

you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..
ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them
i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
So it seems I cant connect to google servers using my works wifi "grey wifi bars" but im able to use browser and just about everything else. Is there a certain setting or settings that need to be set to connect to them ? I tried stopping and clearing google services framework, reboot but that's a no go. Tried using a static ip still a no go. Also tried playing with different wifi security settings "wpa/wpa2 psk" but nothing seems to work. If i connect to my phone it works perfect as well as at home. Anyone have any suggestions ?
Just guessing.. but it sounds like a security thing with your work network not allowing the connection instead of a tablet problem.Talk to your network guy at work. jmo
I randomly started having this same issue today at home.
All of my other devices are connected to google servers (TF101, GNex) just not my N7. Very strange.
Found the solution to this problem. It looks like since my battery had died, the date and time was reset to December 31,1999 and this was preventing me from connecting to Google servers.
Change to date and time to today and you should immediately connect.
My date is correct so it's gotta be something else maybe a port or something I'm missing I just don't know what. I also when I switch my Nexus to wifi at work it aso happens as well

Hello everyone,
I checked the forums and I haven't seen anything like this, but I'm hope my situation isn't unique.
So I got the Nexus 4 and I love it. I have it linked to my wi-fi at home and the campus wi-fi. Every time I got to the college campus it links just fine. However, when I get to the home wi-fi, it sometimes takes a while for the phone to connect to the wi-fi, or say that the wi-fi is out of range.... even when standing next to the router.
I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting the phone. When it connects it's awesome. Sometimes I have to turn off the wi-fi on the N4 then back on again for it to connect.
Does anyone know what this may be? Anything would be great help.
P.S. - everything else works on my wi-fi just fine. A couple Rokus, a notebook, and etc.
Thank you

Nexus 4 has several flaky wifi issues. When I first got mine I could not get it to connect to my home router at all. Then it just started and has been working fine ever since. You may try changing your frequency settings on the router or using a different security protocol. In my case it seems once it got connected the situation was resolved. Good luck!

I tried changing the frequency, seeing that my neighbor was on the band as me. I'm not sure if that did the trick, but now my N4 seems to be picking up the signal a little more quickly.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Same issue here. Sometimes I'm connected to campus wifi, I drive all the way home and look at my phone, it's still trying to connect to campus wifi. I have to turn wifi off then back on for it to disconnect and auto connect to my home wifi.
Here's my problem, and I've seen many problems with wifi here and on other forums but nothing exactly like this.
When I'm at work, my phone connects to the network over there without any problem but, every time I come home, it simply shows my network as "Not in range", even at 2 feet away from the router (WPA PSK security). I've tried turning wifi off and on, resetting my router, "forgetting" my network on the phone. Nothing does the trick unless, I restart my phone and then it connects automatically and stays connected until I leave.
Something strange I noticed tonight; I went to my son's hockey game and, at the arena, I noticed it still showed as connected to my home network!?!?!!?
I started noticing this issue a few days ago, after flashing the 4.2.2 image from Google. My phone is rooted and is running the latest clockworkmod recovery but otherwise, still stock.
Something else I just noticed; my Nexus 7 doesn't have the same issue...
Anybody else having the same issue? Any hints on what's going on?
I also have this issue. But I had the problem before 4.2.2

Got to work this morning... wouldn't connect to the network here because... It was still connected at home, 40km away. That's a powerful router!
Any clues as to what might be the cause?
What brand/type of wireless router are you using? What type of security?
We gotta be more than 2 with this problem... I've seen so many issues with wifi with this phone on other threads... Weird
Last night I went to my parents and again, my phone wouldn't connect to their home network so, its definitely not my router. So I made a backup of all my apps and returned to 4.2.1 and voila, wifi problems are fixed, for now...
As the title says, when I leave the house and come back it doesn't automatically connect to WiFi, anyone else have this problem?
I've changed the 2.4 and 5ghz to manual with no joy, its back to auto now.
Any other ideas?
Same problem here... :/ Using a Nexus 6p as well, when I get home it never connects, need to turn wifi off, and then back on to be able to connect...
No problem here with my work and home WiFi, both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
I had that problem and fixed it by changing channels and going down from 40mhz to 20mhz. Not sure which made the difference but my 6p connects right away now whilst before I had to toggle the WiFi.

I also have an issue connecting my Nexus 6P to my corporate Wifi network - I am seeking the specific details, but all I know so far is that it's a CISCO Access Point. The Nexus 6 had no problems at all. A colleague did briefly get his 6P connected, but then it appeared to break (he's not sure, but suspects it was after the November security update). It continually tried to connect and then eventually says Authentication problem (despite trying all sensible options for Forgetting, rebooting, changing password, confirming it still works for Nexus 6 w/ new password etc etc)
I am seeing this same issue with all of the 5GHz networks i use. It connects just fine but i need to choose it in the pulldown settings...does not automatically connect anymore.
This is something that started happening out of nowhere. it was fine after the latest update at the beginning of november but now has this issue.
Maybe reflash the system and clear the cache may do the trick but need to try.
Wondering why this is not an issue being spoken about more here. I'm sure its more widespread than it would seem here...
This is happening to my Nexus 6p too. when the phone switches to data network it doesnt connect back to wifi, i have to manually toggle the wifi on phone to connect to my wifi.
I have tried this at my friends home too and it doesnt look like an issue with the router, my nexus 6 connects compeletly fine without any issues.
Also I have noticed wifi disconnect when the screen is closed intermittently?
Is this an hardware issue?
Here is another person having the same problems. I changed my phone but I'm having the same issue on the new phone. It doesn't matter which location my phone is. It happens on every location.

Had the same thing. Connected just fine until something suddenly changed and it wasn't working anymore. It worked on other access points of the same WLAN as well as my home WLAN. Yesterday I changed the DNS Hostname of my Nexus (because "android-[insert random number here]" makes no sense) and suddenly it works again. Could be a coincidence though...
I've seen this issue on 5ghz networks on an HTC one m7, a Samsung galaxy s6 , this device and my Samsung Galaxy tab 4. It would seem to me it's an android issue.
Count me as another one with the automatic connectivity not working. Running stock 6.0.1 on Nexus 6P
