Nexus 4 wifi disconnects - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi my nexus 4 is having problems with the wifi
whenever i connect my phone to wifi it establishes connection and after few minutes the connection is shown as active but no internet access so i have to reeboot or switch wifi off and on.
i tried everything but still not able to get it working.
i am on stock android 4.4.2
so please help anyone ????

Did you try different Wifi? Is the problem the same at home, at work, at McDo ...? Or just at home? Maybe it's a dynamic IP assignment conflict or something.

Wifi connected..Signal strong..

Ok so tis is my problem. the Wifi connects fine. i use it for 10 minutes...20 minutes..it works.. then suddenly.. it stops working?
I go to comm manager the Signal quality is full or 3/4 full (dependent on location). it stays connected... the tx rate is 54Mbps and the Rx Rate jumps between 1-54Mbps.. My network is not security protected but no one uses it except me and my computer.
Im using messeneger then it says " messenger trying to reconnect blah blah) then i go to opera and it stopped working too...but its still connected, the signal strength is still strong?
Whats going on?!
My router is a Netgear DG834GT.. I have put my xperia's mac address on the allowed list as well.. i just dont get it?
i have to disconnect and reconnect to get it working..then it lasts another 5 minutes and dies again? Sometimes when i reconnect it still doesnt work so i have to turn off wifi and turn it on 2 or 3 times?
You are not alone, my friend. That's exactly what happened to me, except mine is Belkin.
Someone here (sorry I can't remember) suggest turning off bluetooth solved the problem.
i would try upgrading the firmware of the router it solves many incompatability issues for many people
sometimes my linksys drops data connection so the wifi signal is just a pin
and only fix is to unplug the router for 10sec and replug it
seems to be common that wifi act up at least see people complain in many many forums for wifi able devices
bluetooth is not on at all... Also every other wifi device will connect just fine? why would it work then just stop?
I have no idear only knows that what i wrote fix it in many cases for many people
i have wifi on even in standby tweaked...did you guys tweak anything? like auto off or anything?
nop i just use wpa AES
but as i said i update my wifi router with the latests firmware when
ever linksys updated it and believe me they updated it often
is anyone facing this problem or faced it before then fixed it?
if it's not your router as Rudegar suggests (one way to test, try over a different wifi elsewhere) then I wonder if your wifi is powering down for some reason?
Hey guys...having the same problem. Firstly I had trouble connecting to Wifi with the Xperia...then I updated the router firmware...now I can connect to Wifi but it does nothing, I cannot surf the net, I cannot connect to Skype I cannot connect to Windows live, cannot check my mail, etc...
Any ideas? Bluetooth etc not on at all...

[Q] Problem with wifi Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500)

Hi, I've some problem with wifi connections. I own a lynksis wag54g2 wifi router. I can establish a connection, but after some times (it's not standard, it may vary), my device disconnect from the router and it's not able to reconnect. All that i can do is plug off my router (i take off the ac adapter) and when it's up again my phone can connect. it's very frustating, but i don't know what to do? i've tried setting something in wifi preferences' on my phone but nothing change. i've also flashed my firmware to the new one, hoping that it could fix that problem, but it didn't. someone could help me?
you can update the firmware to a newer one. this would fix your problem.

Hello.
I have a problem with WIFI on Galaxy 5 (i5500)(Europa) too. They have already changed my phone with new one, but the issue remains. So, for the second time now, I was able to connect my phone to my router for the first time, but after the first interruption or disconnection of WIFI I could not access to wifi anymore.
When I enable wifi in the phone starts ''connecting'' but then reports ''interrupted'' eventhough the signal is recognised as strong.
Firmwire version is the latest available. Router is encrypted with WPA2. Also I can access to router with my HTC Tattoo (Click).
Does anyone know the solution?
I have a decision to make(today), becouse If there is no solution to this I will change to another phone as I still can (Galaxy Spica).
Advise please.
Thanks a lot
What router do you have? have you tried with any other wifi network? i said that because my have this problem only with my router, and not for example with my girlfriend's one.
I found a little fix for my router, linksys wag54g2: open up the config page (192.168.1.1), go for wireless tab, select protection page and click on save settings. that reload the router and my phone is able to connect again.
Hi.
Thanks for your advice. There is some problem with router.. When I restart router the wifi on the phone works until swiched off or interruption becouse being out of range. When I try to connect to wifi again does not work unless I restart router again. ..catchy.. Interfering with mobile connection also makes the drop of wireless connection on my computer, so I need to restart router. I don't know the permanent solution. If anyone has any idea how repair this forever please let me know.
Best,
Thanks
Hi,
Here is my problem with my wifi with the galaxy 550.
For security reasons, my wifi network can't be detected (invisible). If i want to connect a new device by wifi, I must first set my wifi visible and then register my device.
Then I set my wifi as invisible again and the device can connect automaticaly to my network without "seeing" my wifi network.
Problem is that once i set my wifi as invisible again, my galaxy fail to connect because the network is unvisible.
Is there anyway to fix this ?
I have just read similar post on another thread and replied find it here
I ahvent installed anything, perhaps its to do with the handset if its locked to a particular carrier? just a guess and a question...
cheers

I have an answer! Hope it works for you.
My provider gave me really easy solution for wifi connection not connecting even though it was my own network with all the right info. It worked great the first time, then for some reason the phone locked in the "off" position. So I removed the battery to reboot (later learned the right way by pushing the volume button on the left and the power button at the same time)
Anyway, try this....
turn phone off - remove battery - remove sim card - wait a few minutes - reassemble - then the network should log on with no problem.....Good luck!

Data connection wifi connection stops

My tab was working fine for first few days but now data/wifi stops for no apparent reason. Ive flashed JJ4 rom but problem still occurs. Anyone else experience this and is there a solution?
You may have the same WiFi connection problem as I do (Tab continuously trying to get an IP address).
Go for a Static IP address.
If not Hard Reset until next occurrence....
I dont think it is that because my network data doesnt connect either when i trun off wifi. Must be faulty, to be returned.

WIFI Issues

I've had my Nexus for about a week now and noticed two strange issues with the WIFI connection.
1. I can connect to WIFI successfully at home but as soon as I go out and it switches to the 2G network and then later go back inside the WIFI doesn't auto connect it will stay on 2G, I have to disable and enable WIFI to connect to my home WIFI, is there a way round this or is it a bug?
2. Whenever I'm out an about and the phone detects a WIFI network even if its not configured to connect to the WIFI network the phone seems to disable 2G Data connection and continually notifies me of a WIFI network being in range and wanting to configure it, is there anyway of disabling this behavior and allowing the 2G Data connection to be active when no configured WIFI network are in range?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jon
Really can't help you much on the settings as I don't quite have my N4 but you should always turn wifi off when you're not using it. You will get much better battery and you wont have problem with #2. Sorry I couldn't really help much.

I have the same issue number 1. I find the battery is getting used quickly and the wifi will not connect. if i disable then enable, it quickly connects to the known wifi signal. I can see a different battery decay slope if I let this problem persist for a few hours, it then reverts to its usual slope once wifi is restarted. This problem usually only occurs once a day on average. I hope someone knows how to solve this issue.

Wifi connection problems.

Hello guys and girls,
I've got a problem with the wifi connection of my Nexus 6P.
In the settings it says 'saved' at first.
And after a moment it says 'authentication problem' or 'Wifi Connection Failure'.
If I restart the phone it will connect but after a minute or so it loses connection.
I tried the wifi on my work and it looks working correctly there.
I tried these things:
Restarting the Nexus 6P
Restarting the modem
Restarting the Access Point
Change channels of the modem and the access point
change wifi frequency
Forgetting the networkname and connecting again.
Turning off the Access Point but the Nexus 6P won't connect to the modem.
Turning off the wifi of the modem but the Nexus 6P won't connect to the Acces Point.
Do you have any suggestions?
This problem is annoying.
Ps: funny thing, the language on my 6P is Dutch.
But the status under the network name is in English.
Except for 'Verbinding maken/connecting'
Edit: Some strange thing happened.
I restarted the phone while charging.
And the wifi stays connected. Not losing connection for about 11 hours. Now I'm unplugging the cable and I'll keep you updated.
