I've been struggling with this for a while, but it seems like WiFi constantly drops or slows down and I need to toggle WiFi off and on again. I read about how this affects dlink routers but I don't have a dlink router. I'm running stock rooted.
Anybody else with this issue? Does MF3 fix this?

I've been having a couple problems lately on connecting to wifi.. well it connects, but I cannot use the internet. It usually only takes powering down the wifi and turning it back on, but it is an annoying issue. This had happened on the stock rooted rom, and on cm. anyone else have or know of this issue and a possible fix?

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.
I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

Having the same issue
I don't have to be downloading anything, the phone could just be sitting there and the WIFI disconnects even with a app like SKYPE running in the back ground. My current internet is 20 meg down with 4 meg up and of all the devices this is the only one that disconnects or has any kind of connection issues.
Happens about 10 times a day. So annoying

Yes, I get this with my PLAY.
No other devices have this problem in my house. Stable connection that is on all the time.
Really annoying in Rainbow 6, particulary since it doesn't seem to save your stats with you disconnect because of a Wi-Fi droput.
Also sometimes have problems when it comes out of sleep mode, have to turn off wifi, then on again on the PLAY.
Very annoying.
Could it be to do with the security settings on your routers? Mines set to WPA2 PSK with a 13 character password and its never dropped connection. Or could it be the make of your routers? Mines a Netgear router. If a few people post there setup maybe we can find a similarity between them and find out if it's the phone, router, setup or all of them that's the problem.

The distance you are to the router makes a big difference. I think the wifi receiver on the play is weaker then other devices.

Yes. I havent updated yet, I'm hoping that 2.3.3 will fix it.
It says I'm connected yet stops working. I have to turn off the wi-fi then turn it back on to get it working again.

I have the same security on mine. The router is wireless n from my provider. It ie a router modem in one.
I did back when I was on 2.3.2. It was so annoying. I could have 2 computers, an iPad, and my Play connected to the same router and only the Play would disconnect continually.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
I have the same problem with 2.3.3 the wifi just keep disconnecting is really annoying. Does any one know if this is a bug or a real design or hardware problem that wont be fixed wit updates?
It's wifi range isn't as far reached as other devices.

One very irritating "feature" on my note 3 is it's automatic network disconnect when it thinks the internet connection speed is poor. Is there any way to override this automatic disconnect? Particularly since there seems to be a well known bug with the galaxy range wifi network which thinks the connection speed is poor even if there is nothing wrong with the wifi signal or Internet connection speed.
Try this.

Unfortunately the wifi connection dropping issue seems to be highly dependant on your router.
Most people with the problem (including me) solved it with a different/newer router.
If you have spare time you could waste it ticking/unticking boxes in the wifi menu .. & THEN change your router lol

I am having the same issue on a corporate wireless network behind a proxy. It will connect, perform the connection speed test and then disable the network due to the connection speed being slow.
I am able to connect to a WiFi network on a secondary connection which does not go through the proxy. Both connections are on the same network.

Yes.... obviously an OS bug but we are stuck with it currently.
The information people need is how to COPE with the bug. I changed my router & no more problems so there's router's that will stop the issue occurring.

Have you tried completely removing the wifi profile and then re-adding it? Also, try disabling wifi Optimization.
