Hi after updating to 4.3 connecting to my WiFi seems to just keep looping obtaining, authenticating, obtaining. This didn't happen in 4.2.2. Anyone know a fix?

Yes it works on other WiFi networks but does not mean the one I am having problems with is faulty cause other devices connect to it just fine. Not to mention it worked perfect on 4.2.2

WPA2 PSK. Also I want to note that this is a second router connected to the main one by ethernet and used as an access point

I had the same issue before 4.3 update. It was working fine after the update but today it happened again. I switched to static ip in my nexus wifi settings and its working fine. So i guess DHCP has the problem and im blaming nexus because everything else in the same network works fine.

I have the same problem with my old generation nexus 7. New one works just fine, galaxy nexus - just fine, xperia s - also fine, macbook pro - fine. I can't blame the network. Something is messed up. I tried a factory reset (as I'm selling this one) and it didn't help. also after quite some time of trying it wrote "Avoided poor connection" under the name of my network, but I can't alter the "Avoid poor connections setting" from the setup wizard.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think the problem is DHCP too. I used to use WPA2 for my LAN. My Nexus 4 appears to not connect to those networks anymore.

Tried to set a static IP address? And you could also playing with the WiFi frequency bands. Some reported they can't connect to WiFi on 5 GHz band. Could try the 2.4 GHz one instead.
In cases of weak signal, DHCP may fail when connecting. If this happens, move closer to the AP (stronger signal).
If you have 2 routers and use 1 as an access point, use the LAN (not WAN) port on the second router and disable the DHCP server on the same router. You can use the same SSID and float between them if the other settings match (encryption and password). Use 2 different channels as far apart as possible (like 1 and 11). On 2.4 GHz, only use channels 1 to 11. On 5 GHz, only use 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, or 165. The other channels have FCC limitations in the US. Use WPA-2 only with CCMP (AES) encryption. WPA should only be used with TKIP, while WPA-2 should only be used with CCPM (AES). I have seen a lot of issues when mixed is used.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the suggestions. While testing I was standing just beside my router, so no weak signal problem. What I did after many tries to connect was reinstall stock 4.3 but version which ended with the letter 'V'. I was unable to see my problematic android build version, because I was stuck at welcome screen. So the reinstall fixed it.

Hi,
im on the official Nexus S ICS update (OTA) but since then my Nexus S always crashes my Dlink dir-657 router.
Is there anyone else with this problem?
I'm pritty sure its the Nexus on ICS because i tryed this numeroes times.
What do you mean with crashes? Router restarts?
I have DIR-825 and no problem with either stock OTA or custom ICS
Hahah no. I device that connects to a router would not make it crash. You have most likely installed it poorly. Call geek squad.!

I've had something which may be a similar experience.
On my old HTC tattoo, connecting via wi-fi would cause problems with other devices on the network. The instant I connect with my tattoo, other devices would get an error message and have "No internet access" on their wifi connection. I'd need to hard reset the router in order for other devices to connect again.
Just reset the router.. or try another Kernel?
I resetted the router multiple times, this morning i had problems again. After switching on and of the router all was fine again. But im not planning every time i use my Nexus s on wifi switching on and of the router!
Im pretty sure i had this problems with my previous router to. But i changed him for this model
Now i know it wasn't the router.
Anyway as soon i turn on wifi on the nexus s my router crash.
Set up a static IP on the phone and reserve an internal IP on the router. Sounds like a dhcp issue.

Actually he isn't the only one my dlink router crashes too it has something to do with the internals of the nexus s connect with the "n draft" if you switch to "g" it won't crash but the nexus s has had this issue since the beginning although I will say I have only experienced this a couple of times after the ICS update

Thanks for this reply, im trying to switch to "g" and see if it happens again.
the only problem with switching to "g" is that, you may experience slow downs while trying to transfer files over your network or trying to stream HD in between devices on the network. Its a price you have to pay
I've definitely encountered this before with my dlink router as well. I've attributed it to a buggy ath9k driver that's been included with openwrt 10.03. It's improved over time as more ath9k patches have made it into the source, but still happens from time to time when the nexus is using wireless. Other devices don't cause it to happen.
I solved IT ... just put wifi protection on aes only

I have tried assigning the static IP - didn't help
Security is already set to WPA2-AES - didn't help
Rebooted router multiple time - no luck
Tried loads of different WiFi channels - no luck either
MAC address filtering is not turned on either.

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.

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

I'm using an Asus AC66U at home and N66U at my office with no 5ghz connectivity issues.
Here's some things that might help you troubleshoot. Start by disabling the "avoid poor connections" feature in WiFi options. Install inssider or similar WiFi scanner to see if there is interference for your specific router config. Try removing the WiFi connection from your phone and reconfiguring.

Hi,
It's strange I have a similar problem. After upgrading to 4.3 my 5ghz connection came to a crawl. We are talking about 1.2-1.6 Mbps. But the 2.4 ghz was fine (35 Mpbs). Once I downgraded, re-writing the "radio" file, then the 5ghz connect was blazing fast again (50 Mbps). I'm convinced this has to do with the "radio" update, but I'm not sure what exactly.
Any suggestions? Currently I'm back on 4.2.2 as wifi speeds (PA rom) make more sense right now.
Thanks in advance!

I tried all of the above, every combination, reset my router, there are no other 5ghz overlapping networks, at this point it is something to do with my install. I wonder if a factory wipe would help...
That's my exact setup (E2500' did you set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 5GHz only on the N4 and give the band a different SSID from the 2.4 GHz network?)! Try forgetting the current connection and setting it up again.

If it were the radio software specifically, then logically 5ghz would be broken for everybody, which is not the case. Perhaps the issue is device data specific... There has to be a better solution than staying on 4.2.2.

I have with wifi problems too, but with 4.3 and 4.2.2 version. At home everything works fine, but at work phone connect to router, but no Internet (internet work only 1-2s). Other devises with this router works fine!
I have even a different issue. The phone is stuck at Obtaining IP Adress every time now. I downgraded to 4.2.2 and it's still doing the same thing. It does work if connected to a different router, but not to my main one. I haven't changed any router settings either.
Hello !
I still have problems of "connecting/disconnected" wifi after all this time since de new CM wifi driver of march... I don't use a lot of wifi, but it could be good to have access to it sometimes..
I tryed to change change the wifi driver to an old one by flashing a custom .zip like said in some posts, but it didn't work. With the stock motorola room the wifi works very well.
And with CM11 it still have problems.
Has someone an idea ? I don't know what log (or something like that) could be usefull to answer the problem, if someone can tell me what to search it would be good !
Thanks in advance,

Are you using static IP or DHCP ?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I tried static IP or DHCP, when I flash a stock rom it works directly on the first boot, with CM and the new wifi driver it's impossible, it's always "connecting" -> "disconnected".
Something is quite strange : Even when I have 4 wifi bar, when the status switches to "connecting" it falls to one bar. And when it comes back to "disconnected" the full signal reappears...
Quite strange...

I can't check it in my office, I'll chek at home, but I still have this problem in static IP, so it should'nt be that, isn't it ?
That's true, static ip should have worked. Disable Wi-Fi optimization from settings and set band to 2.4 only. If you still have a problem I guess it's because of some incompatibility. The driver cannot be easily changed, old Wi-Fi driver was replaced for android/kernel compatibility
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
I just tried with another router, WPA PSK, with static IP, still the same problem : "Connecting -> disconnected", etc...
The wifi band was already 2.4Ghz, and wifi optimisation was disabled.
What can I do to solve this compatibility problem ?
Thanks for your answers.
Wpa2? Can't think of something else ATM
