[Q] S4 wifi problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I use C-ROM for about a week now (I installed it 4h after I got my S4) and all in all it's a great ROM.
But I have some problem with it:
I have a wifi set up by my PC (with some cmd work), due to the restrictions by my carrier.
Every device I own (Tablet and Laptop) find this network and have no problems with this setup at all.
However this device has some problem: At first, when the Wifi is set up the first time, the S4 will connect to the Wifi with no problem at all.
After some time (I don't know what it depends on) the S4 does not find the Wifi anymore.
My Tab (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE) and my Laptop however still find the wifi and everything works.
To get the S4 work with the Wifi again I have to setup the Wifi completely again (I actually hae to change the SSID), after that it all works.
I'm not sure however if that's a general problem with 4.4 or with this rom.
I think i can remove the device itself from the error list, as all other Wifi-networks work perfectly.
Thanks for your help!

Do other devices connect with your home WiFi router? If doesn't then its likely your router is broken. If does then try resetting your router.

I have the same problem as yours. My galaxy jb 4.1.2 not work with home wifi. ..in office it works well with all wifi routers.
My laptop and other desktop connect very well with home wifi. Galaxy s3 always said connecting. .contacting. ...
I think the problem is with the security type with wifi router/modem. My home wifi set to wep security.
Try to change security type of your wifi router then tell us it works or not.
On ics it works fine but in jelly bean it never work.

[Q] Does WiFi not work with channel 13?

I just got this phone and haven't even had a chance to root it yet, so I'm still on the stock ROM. I'm trying to connect to a wifi network and my TouchPad and MacBook Pro can see it just fine. But my SGS4 can't see it - though it can see quite a few other wireless networks. Our friend's iPhone can see it just fine as well.
I searched quite a bit but only found reports of a custom ROM on the SGS4 not working with channel 13.

Google Edition S4 by JanJan - wifi tethering not working ??

Hello
I installed the 4.3 v2.2 rom on my Galaxy S4 - its the Google Edition S4 by JanJan. I turned on wifi tethering and then tried to connect to my phone using my laptop or tablet and I am able to get an IP address but I cannot surf anywhere.
I am able to surf using the browser on the S4 phone.
I am connnected to LTE on the Rogers network.
The SIM works in my S2 and I can enable WiFi tethering and use it perfectly fine - so it's not a carrier provisioning issue.
I have installed FoxFi on the S4 and still have the same issue - able to get an IP but no surfing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

I'm on Rogers too. I have noticed that with all non touchwiz roms. If you disable lte and use 4g or lower you will be able to get online. With my s3 there was a script you could add to connect to lte but I was unable to find one that works with the s4/4.2.2

Solution
So as it turns out there were 2 APN settings on the phone ltedata and ltemobile. ltemobile was the active one and I could surf on my phone. I deleted the other one and I can now surf from my connected devices using wifi tethering.

[Q] SM-T537R4 Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Wireless issues.. help :(

My SM-T537R4's (U.S. Cellular not connected though) wireless connection has been weird randomly.. I know I can't install a custom rom on this model.. Just wondering if it's a common issue with a fix or just my tablet being weird..
It's usually when I wake it.. I have to disconnect then reconnect it to my wifi in order for it to work online.. And sometimes (rarely) it's just dropped will general internet page surfing..
I've done several resets.. And it works beautifully for a few hours but then the issue kicks back in..

Galaxy S4 and Wireless N wifi repeater

Hello All,
I've been using my S4 since the model was released and in general I'm very satisfied with it.
Earlier this year upgraded to Android 5.0.1 and all is good.
Now, the issue I'm having. Recently I got one of those cheap wi-fi repeaters
For some reason my phone stays connected to it for only few seconds then the wi-fi connection drops. I've tried connecting to the repeater with a laptop (HP Zbook 15) and all was good.
Also, I've noticed a lot of topics about S4 wi-fi issues with different wi-fi routers but till now I never had such.
So, my question is, has anybody used such repeater successfully with galaxy S4 (i.e. should I look for solution in my setup or its this model repeater's fault).
Thank you forward!
