Hello guys
I bought Nexus 7 (2012 Wi-Fi only model) a couple of weeks back. I had the option to update the OS to 4.3 and I did so soon after. Haven't rooted the device.
I have been experiencing issue with Nexus connecting to my broadband internet connection. Connection keeps dropping every now and then. I get the "connection timed out" error message. The wifi indicator at the top remains in blue color and sometimes goes to grey. I'm guessing the black symbol over the blue wifi signal indicator represents the data transfer. That symbol keeps toggling.
The Wi-Fi signal strength is strong and I'm pretty sure that's not the issue. My other devices, dell laptop and iPod Touch work fine with the same connection. I tried Internet sharing on my phone which has a 3G connection and connected my Nexus to that wifi hotspot, and it works fine! The problem is when I connect to my broadband connection.
I have done my part of searching on this topic and have tried some things like, the Wifi Fixer app, meddling with the modem settings like with the IP address, DNS; nothing helped.
Any suggestion/help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've had my N4 since a couple of days and have encountered some issues when using the phone on Wifi. I use connectify as a virtual wifi router on my laptop. My phone keeps loosing the data stream from time to time even though the Wifi symbol remain active. I either have to disable/enable the Wifi or restart connectify to get the data stream to work. Any suggestions how to fix this ?
It could be android's fault. I have the same problem on my Galaxy 3. The phone even loses the signal if I'm sitting in front of the router. It's noticeable if the icon shows sending data and occasionally receiving data, but not at the same time.
I have two other PCs in the same room and they don't have this problem so the router is probably fine.
My nexus 4 has great WiFi receptions. I was using the iphone 5 last week and i had issues connecting yo my home WiFi, i think because of some WPA or wep security, the iPhone would connect 2 times out of 10 when i turn on WiFi. It always connects with my nexus 4.

I am having problems with my Nexus 4 not automatically connecting to Wi-Fi. This is particularly annoying as I only live a few minutes from Uni so I spend the day cycling between my home network, uni network and 3G and set tasker to do things based on where I am. However, I look at my phone it tells me I have plenty of wifi signal yet it hasn't connected. This means I either have to switch the wi-fi off and on (which seems to take longer than it should to switch back on) or reboot the phone. After this it will connect fine. Is this a software issue? Or something that is just wrong with my phone?
Cheers
I too have wifi connection problems with my Nexus 4. I can get it to connect, but it won't reconnect. Not only does it not reconnect, it doesn't even detect that the network it was just configured to connect to is sitting right in front of it.
I've tried using Wifi Analyser, and it will show all the wifi signals in my area including those of my neighbours across the street, but it simply doesn't even show my wifi signal. Oddly in Settings, sometimes my wifi signal is not listed at all (reflecting Wifi Analyser's view), and sometimes it is listed but shown as 'Not in range'. It is very frustrating, and the only reason I have not yet RMA back to Google is I have a slight hope that the next update (4.2.2) will fix it.
Needless to say, I have a number of other devices at home (Lenovo and HP laptops, iOS tablets and phone, Windows RT tablet, Windows Phone, and Nexus 7) all of which connect to my home network OK. It is clearly a bug in the Nexus 4.
I had the same problem as you guys, i flashed Franco Kernal and it works a treat now.
Not forgetting the extra battery life the kernel provides.
I suggest trying it out.
Today i wasn't able to use anything what required internet on my nexus 7 even my wifi connection is fine, other devices connecting and have no problems, but my Nexus 7 shows also connection is good, and in full signal, but after trying to go to the internet, youtube, etc its showing only loading process over and over again, and just nothing happens. After maybe 5 mins of loading there appears message about internet problems
Please help.

It sounds like you have a good connection to your router, but the router is not providing internet access to the connection. You can try forgetting the connection, turn the N7 off/on and connect again. If that doesn't work, try resetting the router. This can be an issue with older routers or routers that should have firmware updated.
I got a wifi problem on my defy with CM11 Android 4.4.
At home I can connect to my routers wifi perfect.
But in school I can't connect to any network. The school has two available networks, one with a password and one without password that authorizes you through the browser.
I'm unable to connect to either of these. They have full wifi signal, but when I click connect they immediately drop to 1 "bar" and disconnect. After the disconnect I got full wifi signal again, but when I connect to drops to zero immediately.
Any idea on how to fix this? Maybe some of the network drivers having problems with networks with a lot of users?
This may just be a problem with Android in general because I noticed this on my Nexus 5x.
So if I'm just slightly out of the room of my router, I get my wifi randomly turning off. Sometimes on 3/4 bars it will say "disabled" and refuse to connect without me manually connecting. I don't want to use data at all, but I can't get my phone to keep the connection. My wifi signal isn't bad, and I can get it with my laptop across the street.
Any way to stop it from shutting off my wifi connection or "disabling" my router?
