Hey Guys, this issue has been bugging me for quiet some time:
I have been using the Soft Access Point function of windows 7 via my wlan card for a long time and it didn't really give me any problems until recently.
It goes like this:
I activate the network, my phone connects. So far so good. But it keeps dropping out and reconnecting to mobile network all the time. That happened with other devices like my Netbook as well, but never this frequent and only when I wasn't actively using the connection. When I got the nexus 4 it started happening more often. And in the recent days/weeks very frequent. Sometimes only minutes after connecting. Also when the connection is in use, even during VoIP calls.
But I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the phone or the network setup... Any ideas?
Oh yeah, I'm running unrooted stock and the PC is Win 7 ultimate x64

I forgot to mention: To fix it, I have to disable and then enable the network again. It always shows as still active on the PC but doesn't show on the phone before I do so.

In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to keep wifi on while sleeping.

Mine has the same issue, even with it set to stay on during sleep.
I unchecked the wifi optimization to conserve power setting and that solved it. Somewhere on the google boards, there is a bug report on it.
I have the setting 'Keep wi-fi on during sleep' set to Always and have the Wi-fi optimization checked and my wi-fi has been flawless.
Going to try that now thanks

Hey guys, I have a slightly related issue.
My device just won't turn its Wi-Fi off when it goes to sleep! I've tried both the advanced settings of, while plugged in and never, and both are not working add evidenced by the battery graphs.
Any fix or solutions?
- As of now I've taken my device out of its flip case/stand, assuming that the magnet in it has something to do with the Wi-Fi remaining on.

My Wifi will not work, not sure as to why. It shows that I'm connected but can't surf or use xda. I tried rebooting my router and still nothing. Anyone else having trouble?

My friend had this problem, but his just randomly started working the next day. Others have also said try factory resetting your router, uninstall any newly installed apps/mods, or if your router has, "Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling", to disable it.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll give it a shot when I get home. Hopefully mine will just start working like your friends.

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

No it is os bug. I have the same issue on newest update

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.

Turnoff wifi power saving mode. This should work.

This is my second note 3 and it happen with both. Whenever I connect to a wifi I get a notice popping up that my Internet connection is unstable.
Of course when this happens no data transfer happens.
Any thoughts??

I noticed that the unstable connection was an issue when I installed adblock plus. After I uninstalled it the problem went away. So far that's the only resolution I've found.

I've been having the same issue, even from my bed which is about 10 feet from the router. I'm starting to really kick myself for letting myself fall outside of the 14 day return period...
Seems like a bug, I see it occasionally but I never drop any packets or see any latency.. shrugs..
I've been able to fix this issue by booting into stock recovery and wiping cache.

I've noticed it too with Adblock Plus installed. I think, it would constantly tell me that the connection was disabled due to slow network or something along those lines, on multiple different networks, all within 10 feet of the router. I wasn't able to use any apps that use internet other than Chrome today. I uninstalled Adblock Plus and it seems to be fine so far.

Hey, sometimes when I'm outside of the house, and try to use something like YouTube in a place with low reception, it just halts, loading very slowly and won't let me view any videos. However, after this, my Google account will fail to sync. Even after going to a place with better reception, it will fail to sync. And this happens to all the accounts on my s4 that I have set to sync. The only way to get sync to run again is to connect to a wifi network. I've tried clearing app data, enabling and disabling network data, and restarting my device, but nothing works until I'd have connected to a wifi network. Any suggestions or ideas?
