Free wifi - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I got my N6P yesterday but I am having a problem with it.
There is free WiFi at work but when I try and connect to it I am not being directed to the log in page. I thought it may be an issue with chrome blocking it so tried Firefox but still couldn't log in.
There is no it support, as it is just a free open network.
Any body any ideas how I can get around this?
Thanks.

No idea, I haven't had an issue. I use free WiFi all the time at my work. You sure it's not the wrong wifi spot and you are on the private WiFi instead?

Yeah pretty sure. I had my old phone with me too which connected as normal so I know it wasn't a problem with the WiFi.
Edit.. Just tried another free network and was directed to a login page. Maybe just a problem with the login at work. I need to take a trip to MacDonald's and Starbucks to test it more!

Wi-Fi connectivity issues with 4.2.1

My Wi-Fi connectivity was rock solid on 4.2, but since applying the OTA I'm getting frequent data drops. Still shows me as connected to my router, but get no data. A quick Wi-Fi toggle fixes the problem each time. Anybody else seeing this?

Does anyone else have this issue ?
Connectivity is really key for this device and if this is common then I would likely not update.
upsetting to hear this, one of the big reasons I opted for this over some other 10.1in tablets was the MIMO dual band wireless. My Viewsonic g-tablet has horrible wifi connectivity and it makes watching youtube horrible. I couldnt imagine having to deal with it on my nexus 10 when it comes in the mail.
The first thing to check is always to set a static IP and see if the issue is resolved.
Just got my replacement today. Before the 4.2 and 4.2.1 updates, WiFi was solid no drops and full bars. After updates, pretty finicky drops quite a bit:/ hope the next update addresses this.
And yes sometimes it will show bars but no data. Especially when I start using 5ghz instead of 2.4ghz.

After a few hours with no drops, I may have discovered a fix for my situation. I changed my access point from WPA (TKIP) to WPA2 (AES), and for the last 4 hours I haven't had a single drop. Prior to this, it'd drop every few minutes. Hopefully this holds up.
I've been having connectivity issues as well. I'll have my Nexus 7 and 10 in the same spot and the N7 will hold a solid connection and the N10 will drop and reconnect ad nauseam
My Wifi is perfect.
I also have this problem , any one found a fix?

When I had this problem I found that my google account had saved my connection settings. It was trying to use the same static ip as my phone. Went in and changed it and everything is fine.
Hopefully this can help.

Nexus 4 Mobile Hotspot Help?

Hi, I have the unlocked Google Nexus 4,
and I am using it on T-mobile.
I did not get it from Tmobile, but on the Google Play Store.
And, is there an any way to activate the hotspot for nexus 4?
tried the hotspot apps in the Play Store, rooted and unrooted ones, but nothing worked.
I tried out the stuff thats built into the phone, but it gets connected, but no internet.
does it lead you to a tmobile page? or it just wouldn't connect? have you try to connect with other devices?
Don't know what to tell you, I use the hotspot that is provided with the OS and it works fine for me. Does your computer connect to the phone and not the internet, or will it not even recognize the hotspot?

Are you trying to connect to a hotspot or creating a hotspot? I didnt quite understand...

I had this issue a few days ago and another guy just made a thread on the same thing.
Mine worked for a week and cutout. Exchanged it and the new one hasn't had any issues yet.
The other guy exchanged his twice before getting one that worked. Both of ours connected to other networks than our own. Not sure why some Nexus 10's connect and others don't. And who knows of the ones we got from the exchange will continue to work.

i found somewhere online nexus 10 has trouble connecting to ARRIS routers
just found out thats what i have
some firmware issue with the nexus 10?
thing is it shows connected to my home networks but just shows gray bars showing no actual internet connection,(no blue bars) only a connection to the router itself
im trying to find a way to assing an a static ip now. thats the solutions they found
all other routers i can connect to perfectly
Arris is what I have as well, Through xfinity. A day after I changed my first one to a static IP address was when I started having issues. Did a complete factory reset of the router and tablet. Couldn't get anything to work. I don't understand how it worked for a week and just stopped. Then reverting to all the original settings on both devices didn't help.
Maybe someone with more networking knowledge can give us a good answer. I'm really having trouble understanding how a different nexus 10 will work having the same settings and firmware.

i read somewhere same issue with arris router http://www.nexus7nexus10.com/forum/nexus-10-discussions/3007-nexus-10-problem-5.html
The quick fix I found for this problem.
Download connectify me on your pc broadcast your network under another ssid.
And my tablet works perfectly fine connected thru that
I'm still going to swap my router though

Any real solution yet? I have the same problem, my device connects to most of the wifis except the one I use at home. I got 2 actually, one router in my room and one in my dad's, the one in my room mostly never works.

No real solution. Don't think there is one I spent about an hour searching everywhere I could.
So far it looks like nexus doesn't like ARRIS routers (I have time warner,not sure about you guys)
But I'll be swapping out my ARRIS router for a motorola one this week and I'll report back here to let you know if it worked
That connectify me is working awesome though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
great find, sich its such a hot issue you should make a thread detailing how to fix it using connectify me and also potentially reporting it to google.
That may be interesting: http://ir.arrisi.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=87823&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1807670
Summary: Arris has bought Motorola Home and has associated with Google.

Same here. It seems to be only my router that it doesn't connect to. Manta is dead I'm afraid

Anyone got AT&T hotspot auto login to work?

I have an AT&T SGS4 and their bloatware makes me sick but their feature that automatically logs you in to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots is nice. Has anyone got that to work on a Nexus 7?
Would also like to get it to work on s Nexus 5 but that is for another day.
Thanks.
