I have the newest fw for my S5 and I have a lot of problems with WiFi. Sometimes I just get the err_name_not_resolved
In chrome and then I have to disable and enable WiFi and everything is OK again for perhaps an hour or a day... My phone also keeps getting warm and I suspect it has something to do with WiFi?!
I have tried reinstall my phone and my router is a Asus new one.
Please help. I had problems with WiFi since galaxy s3... (On different routers)

Just got my Arc today. Connect up via wifi to various diff sources, same issue. After approx 2 mins, signal bars for wifi remain static, never move and connection issues occur. This happens on anything from market, web, gmail etc.
Repeatable on various diff routers, only way to recover is turn off wifi and reactivate it, then it will last another 2 mins.
Checked and running latest firmware. Faulty device?
Maybe, my wifi works fine.
Yeah starting to think that. Both my galaxy s, and iphone 4 stay connected all the time at decent rates. Watching the router stats the mac for the ARC just drops down to 1, then dies. Also noticing bad range, like anything more than 3m away from router and no signal.
Hi there. yes i have the same problem with my arc.... but not allways, yesterday when i was on market,downloading its stops at 40% and thats it, i must turn off wifi and turn back on, that will help..but after few minutes (downloading,browsing,facebook) it again stops,and again the same. But its not allways after 2 mins... one time is working fine without problems even one day is ok ,and sometimes is doing this. yesterday i get a error from arc something like that " error parsing packets" . And what i have noticed on 3G is doing the same, i tried to download yesterday the same file with 3G conection and it stops again. So i think this is not only wifi problem...i dont know.any clues?sugestions? sorry for my english xd
im at work atm.
The WiFi is pretty well known already, it happens also to me and quite a few other owners of the Arc. From my experience it is related to Youtube application or video playing/flash pages because most often it occurs when using them.
Sometimes I would be able to use the WiFi connection for more than a day without issue, while other times it stops working twice in 5 minutes. Pretty weird behavior, but I'm guessing it is a combination of a software issue and the newer support for draft n wireless connection.
Joy, its kind of a deal breaker for me
No WIFI issue whatsoever with my ARC
Software issue.
Hey guys, the newest 3.2 update (not the first one but the second one that came out) messed up my Wifi and now I can't connect to it. I've turned off/one my roouter+modem, wifi on tablet, tablet itself, and re-added the network multiple times and nothing seems to work. What happens is that I add the network and it would try to connect and authenticate but then it just retries connecting again and then all the available wifi networks are gone. It's a mess. And it happened a few times where it would finally connect but then no webpage would open after a few minutes and the wifi bars on the bottom right turn from blue to grey. Wtf. How the hell can Samsumg mess up something like that? And no it's not my wifi since it works perfectly fine with alllll of my other devices.
I just had exactly the same problem. 3.2 was working fine for a couple of days for me but now has difficulty connecting and when it does connect doesn't seem to be able to reach the internet. No issues with other devices. Time for a custom ROM?
Had also issues with wifi and the latest stock 3.2. It went away with Task 6.1 and probably the other custom rom also.
And now it is all working again.
Strange but worrying.......
On the contrary the wifi is better now with me. I used to have wifi issues after the TW update. The first days with stock Android I dont remember a single day dropping my wifi connection, but after TW update I sometimes picked my Tab to see "no internet connection". After 3.2 update it is just always on. I am quite happy with this update. If I ever see a drop in connection it is %100 router related which sometimes confuses and tries to assign the same the IP address to 2 different devices.
I got my 7.7 yesterday. All is working great, but about every 30 minuttes of use, the WLAN-connection hangs. The WLAN-icon stays lit, but the tab is not able to send/receive data. To get it to work again, I have to disable WLAN and then enable again. It then works for about 30 more minuttes.
I have not installed any task-killers or battery-enhancers etc..
The router is a D-Link DIR 555. I use several PCs and Phones on the same router without losing connections ever. Encryption-type is WPA2.
Any ideas?
Bro here is the same problem really confusing me evrytime the wlan disconnects.
Have you checked that your WLAN settings do not put the tablet wifi to sleep ?
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Wi-Fi sleep policy
I'm having the same problem here, and my wifi policy is set to never, so when that happens I have to turn off/on wifi.. not good!.
I have the LTE version, but am running it without a data plan. I have the same issue with WIFI. The connection will hang after 30min to an hour of use. It is VERY annoying. I ran Speedtest, and i get an interesting result, over wifi i get a very fast download speed (15+Mb/s) but my upload totally hangs. It just sits there. On the same wifi, with my Galaxy Nexus, i have no problem with download or upload.
I've seen several threads across the internet about the problem, and no one seems to really know why. Some people say you need to change settings in your router, and it isnt the Galaxy 7.7's fault, but, i don't know if I buy that. I have the same problem at the Airport, and, i cannot exactly go and change the router config there. I am hoping that there will be an update to the firmware for the wireless radio, either separate or with ICS.
WIFI Problems Solved!!!
Hi,
I had the annoying wifi problem. It would work really fast for a few minutes and decide to stop working all of a sudden.
I fixed the problem by setting the maximum Router output to 54mbps G. Seems like the galaxy tab 7.7 does not like the N settings.
Now it works flawlessly and I will just use it at G speeds until Samsung provides an update. (I really do not notice the difference in speeds between G and N. Just the peace of mind that it will work every time.)
I hope that solves some of the other users' problems.

Hello all!
I have started having some strange wifi issues with my S4.
It seems different to the "usual" WIFI problem others are having. In their case their wifi keeps not turning on, dropping out etc.
In my case, my wifi is working and the phone keeps being connected to the WIFI; it shows up in the router devices list, i can 192.168.1.XXX the router form the S4, but there is no internet connection...
This started with the MGA firmware, and it happens when I come back home, and the phone logs back into the wifi network. Meanwhile an ipad is connected to the same WIFI net and is happily working without interruptions, which makes me believe the fault is with the S4..
After a half hour or so, the S4 suddenly is happily accessing the internet again.
I even flashed the wifi fix patch but no help....
I have a suspicion it might be a dhcp issue, but I've set the routers to assign the same ip to the S4 everytime.
Any ideas?
Is anyone else having terrible WiFi performance? It seems to work just fine for the first 30 seconds of connecting, then no data is transferred. My tablet and laptop are working just fine next to me. I have never really gotten my WiFi to work that well in the first place. Anyone know how to fix this? I've done a hard reset, tried a different ROM. Nothing makes a difference.
if you have a dlink router, you have to go out and update the firmware for the router. I had the same issues then updated my routers firmware and no more problems.
This is one of the issues I am closely monitoring. I use wifi 99% of the time. If it isn't useful I don't want the phone. I am trying to decide between this and the Note 3.
none here check your battery saving settings, that coukd switch off wifi at some time
