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.

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.
I am having issues with my Nexus 10, and I think it started with the 4.3 updated, but I can't be 100% sure.
I have a Verizon Wireless JetPack 890L broadband access point, and my Nexus 10 gives me no end of hell with.
It connects, but afterwards, I see the bars moving up and down like crazy, and it constantly drops connections and reconnects. The reason why I say I am not sure how long the problem has been going on is because I originally had my jetpack and someone else's configured in my wireless settings, so when I disconnected from mine, it would reconnect to his, so I never noticed. When I cleared the wifi settings and only had my AP settings, that's when the problem was noticed.
I tried setting it to Channel 11, and that seemed to work fine for 2 hours and then the problem surfaced again with constant drops and reconnects.
When I am at home, the device works on my wireless no problem.
I'm running a stock Nexus 10, that's rooted.
Anyone seeing any wifi connectivity issues with their Nexus 10?
Rollback to 4.2.2 fixed the problem. Obviously 4.3 and this device do not get along.
Greetings people.
I am a new user of Nexus 4 which I bought 3 days ago. Yesterday I encountered a strange problem with my Nexus which I did not have with my previous phone (Xperia Sole). A friend of mine asked me to make my Nexus a hotspot so he could connect to the internet. So what I did was to open my 3G and then use WiFi hotspot. Firstly my friend could connect to my Nexus WiFi but he couldn't access the internet although I could. Then I tried to close and re-open my 3G (without disabling hotspot) and he managed to connect to internet that way. But I couldn't from my Nexus. I never had a same issue with the Xperia. I could connect normally to the internet while using my phone as a hotspot. I was wondering if this is a normal case or should I try something else.
Using Stock Rom 4.4 KitKat and Stock Kernel.
Thanks in advance.
As the title says, when I leave the house and come back it doesn't automatically connect to WiFi, anyone else have this problem?
I've changed the 2.4 and 5ghz to manual with no joy, its back to auto now.
Any other ideas?
Same problem here... :/ Using a Nexus 6p as well, when I get home it never connects, need to turn wifi off, and then back on to be able to connect...
No problem here with my work and home WiFi, both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
I had that problem and fixed it by changing channels and going down from 40mhz to 20mhz. Not sure which made the difference but my 6p connects right away now whilst before I had to toggle the WiFi.

I also have an issue connecting my Nexus 6P to my corporate Wifi network - I am seeking the specific details, but all I know so far is that it's a CISCO Access Point. The Nexus 6 had no problems at all. A colleague did briefly get his 6P connected, but then it appeared to break (he's not sure, but suspects it was after the November security update). It continually tried to connect and then eventually says Authentication problem (despite trying all sensible options for Forgetting, rebooting, changing password, confirming it still works for Nexus 6 w/ new password etc etc)
I am seeing this same issue with all of the 5GHz networks i use. It connects just fine but i need to choose it in the pulldown settings...does not automatically connect anymore.
This is something that started happening out of nowhere. it was fine after the latest update at the beginning of november but now has this issue.
Maybe reflash the system and clear the cache may do the trick but need to try.
Wondering why this is not an issue being spoken about more here. I'm sure its more widespread than it would seem here...
This is happening to my Nexus 6p too. when the phone switches to data network it doesnt connect back to wifi, i have to manually toggle the wifi on phone to connect to my wifi.
I have tried this at my friends home too and it doesnt look like an issue with the router, my nexus 6 connects compeletly fine without any issues.
Also I have noticed wifi disconnect when the screen is closed intermittently?
Is this an hardware issue?
Here is another person having the same problems. I changed my phone but I'm having the same issue on the new phone. It doesn't matter which location my phone is. It happens on every location.

Had the same thing. Connected just fine until something suddenly changed and it wasn't working anymore. It worked on other access points of the same WLAN as well as my home WLAN. Yesterday I changed the DNS Hostname of my Nexus (because "android-[insert random number here]" makes no sense) and suddenly it works again. Could be a coincidence though...
I've seen this issue on 5ghz networks on an HTC one m7, a Samsung galaxy s6 , this device and my Samsung Galaxy tab 4. It would seem to me it's an android issue.
Count me as another one with the automatic connectivity not working. Running stock 6.0.1 on Nexus 6P
