This usually happens on an unreliable network, but to get around this I usually try airplane mode on then off, try to re-connect?
Ooops. Just checked the wifi menu on my note. I expected to find something like "advanced options" in wifi-settings as on my razr HD. There was a check mark that allowed "to connect to networks that are weak". Couldn't find anything like it on my N3. But maybe some one else knows if this is a device thing or rather an android 4.2 vs. 4.3 issue.

The option you need to un-tick is "Auto Network Switch". I had the same issue at work with a poor connection, it would keep giving me the same message you're seeing. Once I disabled auto network switch however it worked just fine. It was right, the internet was slow, but it's better than the non-existent cellular reception underground.....

thanks for the suggestion, but i already untick all of the option and problem still persist.
I have a similar problem, I have a network with no internet connectivity (and want it that way for CCTV) I have to turn off my mobile data first (uncheck it in the data usage screen) than connect to the wifi, or it keeps booting me out.

Can't we stop these?
Are you running the latest firmware? It seems odd to say but I had the same problem with my GoPro for live viewing, updating helped fix the problem.
enable DHCP your router
None of the so called "fixes" work...changing settings. Un tick this.. reset router.. reset phone.. forget all the bad advice. ..
FACT IS...The Note 3 has a WiFi connection fault... hopefully Samsung will fix it.

Hi, i have a very strange and unpleasant problem with my Hermes.. At home I am using my wifi connection to receive mails etc. My Hermes connects to the wifi network normally, but when I want to use internet connection (IE, Outlook..) it will start GPRS. I have to turn wifi of and back on to be able to use it. It is pretty annoying as you can imagine. Now I am using latest Tytn WWE rom, but i have had same problems with T-mobile rom.
My old Wizard is connecting normally and has never done something stupid like this Do anyone have some clue what may cause this strange behaviour?
Have you confirmed that the home WiFi connection is configured as 'Connects to: The Internet'? In comm manager turn off the WiFI then go into settings/connections/Network Cards and you will be presented with all the networks used or previously found by your TyTn wireless card.
Select you named home wireless connection and you will be presented with the screen "Configure Wireless Network". Make sure that the entry against "Connects to:" i sset to The Internet - then press OK (top right), then dismiss the settings windows.
Try the connection again - it worked for me a while back. If already set at "connects to the Internet" then try deleting the settings and creating the entry again: press and hold on the connection (your home WiFi) then select "Remove Settings". Then turn on networked and set it up again remembering to select "connects to the Internet" when asked during the configuration of the WiFi connection. Of course you will again be prompted for a network key if you have a secure wireless router.
- if you all this then sorry but you didn't say. Hope it helps
I have already set it to connect to the internet few days ago. But i will try to remove those settings and do it again.. Hope it will solve the problem.
Thanks for your help. I'll report later..

Hi
I hear good things about Danielherrero's bandswitch app. This is a long thread and I think there are revisions along the way so best read through a sample of the pages:

Hmm.. I am already using that band switcher. Really a great program but unfortunatelly it cannot solve this issue.
But.. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel I've deleted my network settings and than set it again. And now it seems to be working! Hmm.. cannot be quite sure if it isn't just lucky day, but I've tested it more than 10 times and it seems to be OK.
Anyway... thanks for your help
Hopefully it will continue to work.
PS Is "cancer man" still alive or have the ciggies killed him off?
Mike
Glad to hear it worked OK. I too found it was teh only way to get mine initially working - since deleting and recreating the link it has worked OK (3 mths plus)
Aaah.. I heard that cancer man is still alive. But.. trust no one Hope he will not follow the Marlboro Man..
And by the way.. After few hours it still seems to be working. Thanks guys!!
Out of a month of use it has happened to me only once. I just turned off wifi then turned it back on. I believe the tytn is not recognising that it has a valid Internet connection.
Hello,
anyone has the same problem as mine? And maybe a fix
My problem is the stability of my 3G data connection. Sometimes it just hangs which means that it indicates that it is connected to 3G but when I try to sync my mail or browse to a page, it doesn't show anything and it timesout as it seems not to be connected.
I disconnect my data connection and connect again to fix the problem. I experience the problem when I leave my phone on standby for sometime.
If I have Opera running in the background, I have to exit it and start it again after the restarting data connection to be able to browse!!!
Anybody experience the same problem and maybe has a fix?
I sorta had this issue, but the phone kept switching from 3g to HDSPA and back again, not loading the web page during. So i disable HDSPA to force it only 3g. I dunno if if this is whats happening to you, but hey worth a shot no?
Where?
Where can I disable HDSPA ??

Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network
The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset and see if your connection stabilises
thx
thanks, will try that
i Already try that but the problem persist i´m going to try with a diferent radio
I have this issue too, Its been on the last 3 radios I have used. Going to update to the latest one tonight
Have you guys tried disabling the proxy?
Settings - Connections - Connections
You will have your internet settings, and then My Work Network. Under your internet settings, click Edit my proxy server, and uncheck This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
However the proxy server that already in there will dissapear, so write it down. But oddly, on my device, i cant edit it. i dunno, i guess if something goes wrong, just run the connections setup again.
This is a known issue without a solution at this point.
Here's the main thread discussing it, 30+ pages of trial & error:

Yes, but you're also not getting 3G...

He's getting 3g but not 3.5G which is usually faster speeds.

I posted it early up. read the thread dude it only disables hdspa, its not the same as the 3g switcher in the comms manager, that turns off 3g entirely
to the OP, glad it worked however, my internet started workin a few weeks later with hsdpa, could be due to a better radio that i flashed. so if u flash a new radio, hdspa might still work better so be sure to test it out!
Hi Guys,
I am working on boat and we have multiple Access points setup around vessel.
My phone connects fine to any of them but when I move location it just stays on the original AP it joined and doesn't roam between them and stops working - If I disconnect and reconnect it works fine again...
Is there anyway of making the Wifi more aggressive so it will join the strongest signal AP?
Thanks,
Andy
Are all the APs setup with the same SSID/WPA? That's how roaming would work but if they are:
Boat1/WPA1
Boat2/WPA2
The phone sees them as separate networks and will hold onto the one you first connected to then it will "let go" once it's no longer available. So if it's setup as my example, tell your IT guy to quit being a retard and do as I command him to. -
If it is setup "properly" then i'm not so sure whats the issue. I would assume it's set up with all the same stuff to help make it easier for customers/clients to access the network with the same password all the time.
Or is it an OPEN network which directs you to a website to log in?
In your advanced wifi setting try checking "avoid poor connections". See if that helps it to switch.

Hey, all the AP are setup the same the phone just isn't swapping between them, it just stays on the one it originally connects to. I have no issues with my laptop or old desire they both work fine on board.

I tried that, no luck
I am running Matr1x kernel, could that have anything to do with it?
There's an app called 'Best Wifi' that I've been using. It will switch APs if the signal drops below a certain level.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Johnny, that app is working
I'll give best wifi a shot, I've been having the same problem since I got the phone and my solution is just to toggle wifi.
If you're AP's are WPA 2 Enterprise with authorization, Android devices have problems switching between them.
I just want to report back that Best WiFi has been working for me.
2 APs WPA2 Personal
WiFi doesn't have seemless AP pass-off like cell tech, even with Best Wifi, if you're on a VOIP voice call and you're moving between APs, you'll lose your call when it switches between the AP. It's a limitation of the technology.

Hello,
I've already searched the forum for an answer but I've been unable to find any solution.
I have a GT-i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega ROM. I though flashing a new rom will help me but it's the same.
Everytime I walk away from my router, it automatically sets the wifi as "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" and won't connect again. I have to manually click connect to force it to connect it. Also, when I'm in my University, it keeps disconnecting for the same.
How can I avoid this and force it to stay connected? Do I need to flash some custom modem or something?
Thanks
The answer!

TRY THESE STEPS
1) Settings => Connections and tap Wi-Fi. Then tap Menu and make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always.
2) Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4. Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu => Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off. (WORKED FOR ME)
3) Or change your router settings to 802.11 model
Galaxy S4 wifi non-connection/drop out NEW FIX
Had a problem for ages with my S4 not connecting to wifi and therefore no internet, no updates etc. My router is a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn but this may work with most routers.
It would constantly go through the authentication, secured/saved cycle but rarely actually got an ip address.
After trial and error I found this worked straight away and it is a very easy fix.
Go to your router settings page, then wireless settings, look for Primary Channel setting.
There may be a (Lower/Upper selection) - tick the LOWER radio button and apply changes. Let router reboot.
Note I also use WPA/TKIP settings for security.
Test your S4.
Mine was set to Upper Primary Channel previously and as soon as I changed that setting to Lower Channel wifi and internet worked immediately.
I hope this helps some people with this common problem as I know how frustrating it can be.
Cheers
wifi verification problem
galaxy s4 GT-I9500 running pac-man rom. just started getting verification problem connecting to my linksys router one foot from my phone.
did the following on my phone: settings, Wi-Fi, settings, wps pin entry, msg reads " enter pin xxxxxxxxxx on your Wi-Fi router." where xxxxxxxxx is a number.
logged on to my router, clicked on Wi-Fi tab, under Wi-Fi protected setup, it asked me to enter the wps pin number from my phone. I did and after a minute or so, it indicated success and now my phone connects to Wi-Fi
weird. my phone connected for months without this procedure but just started failing today. thanks to the one who suggested checking the router setup.

I recently ran into the same problem and my wi-fi button wouldn't come on no matter what I did. Finally, I took the phone to Best buy as the now have a Samsung store there and the guy reflashed my phone with the 4.3 update free of charge and it worked. When I got home I rooted over my phone and now my wifi works fine. Hope this helps.

mac adress unavailable HELP
so i rotted my s4 gt9500 and somehow it managed to lose it's mac adress says unavailable at the moment unfortunately i have no efs backup so iam on a stalemate here i really need to get back my mac adress somehow so that the wi fi works again properly.any help you really be appreciated.
p.s the phone does not work on a custom rom yet since i encoutered this problem and want to fix it first.
Like many others, I have this pop up in the notification area few times every hour that is really annoying. Never had such notification from note 2, so played around with my router & phone settings, and so far has found this method that worked for me, hope it'll work for some of you experiencing similar issue.
In short, basically I just put my note 3 IP in my router's DHCP reservation list then manually set my note 3 network using static IP in the wifi setting.
Here are some details (router ip/192.168.10.1; note 3 ip/192.168.10.188):
Turn off Auto Connect & Auto network switch under Advanced wifi settings
Connect to my router normally using DHCP, I'm using WPA2
Login to my router and put my note 3 IP in the DHCP reservation list. each router is different, mine is TRENDnet TEW-633GR, so it's in Basic -> Network Settings
Under note3's wifi networks, long press the connected wifi network, click "Modify entwork confi", check "Show advanced options", under "IP Settings" select "Static", enter my gateway(192.168.10.1) and my note 3 IP address(192.168.10.188). For DNS, I use Open DNS(208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220), then click on "Save"
I've been on this setting for the past 3-4 days and haven't seen a single unstable network notification message. Hope this helps.
Just turning off auto network switch fixed the problem for me.

yea I guess it's different from some people. it didn't work for me just turning off auto network switching.
An apparent solution
My Auto Network was off to start with, and the message started all of a sudden. I've turned it on and back off and it fixed the problem.
Seems to be a glitch, an annoyance Samsung would have to look at.
I must be blind. I cant even find the option for auto connect.
EDIT: Got it. Have to hit the menu button while in WIFI options.
Impacting my Note 2
Now that I've updated my ROM to 4.3 on my Note 2, I'm seeing the same thing so it looks like it might be something in Samsung's implementation of 4.3. I'm going to give your suggestions a try on my phone as well.
This actually seems to work. The unstable internet connect notifications and disconnections seem to have gone.
Why is this? Is this a Android bug?

I think this is a "feature" from 4.3 as some people with note 2 upgraded to 4.3 reported this issue too, it's just really annoying.
btw disabling the message doesn't seem to improve or degrade the connection for me.
No, I don't mean disabling the message.
I mean manually putting in the DNS as the OpenDNS IPs.
The network was still disconnecting even after the Autoswitch networks option was disabled, so that didn't help.
The OpenDNS seems to have helped.

really? have you tried different DNS? I thought it's manually assigning local IP address on android & using DHCP reserve on router that has helped me getting rid of the issue, I just happen to use OpenDNS. Just turning off auto switching did not work for me either.
Nope, I've always been using DCHP reserve, and that never solved anything.
I think I fixed it
The message was annoying. The last time I saw it I pulled down the notification drawer and clicked the Wi-Fi with a question mark in it a floating window came up saying my internet was unstable bla bla. Tick never show this again then in advanced untick every box in there.
fix for 'your internet connection is unstable error"
i found a fix for this problem.
1. Enter into your modem settings by 192.168.1.1
2.Go to mac filter and enter your device mac id in allowed devices list.
the problem will be solved.
i have done this. and i am not getting that error message.
