I use WPS button alot in my field of work. However, since the Nougat release it seems to not be working about half the time. I carry 2 phones with me at all times, so it's not the routers I'm trying to connect to, cuz when my S7E fails, my other phone has no issue with the WPS. I did try to reset Network Settings. Made no difference. Is anyone else experiencing any issue with this ? Thanks

Hello XDA. I've noticed that my new Note 4 has been dropping the wifi connection while using the Internet. So what happens is the wifi button suddenly becomes grey and I have to press it to enable it again. It works for a while and then it drops off again...then I gotta press it to enable it...
I've discussed this with Verizon and they are suggesting i do the dreaded factory reset.
I have a feeling that I'll be sending this one back...
Any advice from the experts? Thanks in advance.
Are you having this problem at multiple locations or just one? If at multiple locations, I'd have to agree to try a full reset. If at one, could be a router issue.
Just to cover all the bases, you haven't any power management or something like tasker that could be turning off wifi?
No power management software installed and I really haven't used it much anywhere other than my home wi-fi so I guess I should double check it tomorrow on other networks to confirm before the reset.
I had a similar issue with my Note 3 where I couldn't get wifi to stay on no matter where I was and I needed a new phone...that was after using it for 9 months with no issues....this Note 4 is brand new.
If you are using smart network switch option try to disable it and see if its ok

Decided to install N a few days ago and test it out, everything was going fine but after returning home from work today my wifi will not reconnect. I've added the info for my wifi back in several times, the phone says the network info is saved, but it never connects or even appears in the list. Don't really feel like wiping again right now, so did anyone else run into this and manage to fix it? Any ideas? I've already tried all the usual stuff, but no luck.

Apologies if this is a silly response but is N official? I thought it was a beta? I'm assuming if that's the case then you'll get variable success with connectivity and functionality.
Do got have the most up to date vendor and is the kernel your using optimised correctly or should you expect issues!

Definitely not a bug. I have been using the preview since day one, and WiFi is working completely fine. Here's what you can try - wipe cache from recovery. And then if it still doesn't show up, you may try resetting your router settings.
I have faced such issue, but that would be subjected to all my devices connected to that specific router. Caused generally by lousy internet connectivity, or some router issues.
I had already tried doing both those things but the problem still persists. I guess I'll just have to try a factory reset or wait for the next update and see if it resolves itself.

The next update is near. In case you can't wait, factory/reset would be good option.
Went ahead and rolled back to MM and everything was working well, then I reinstalled N and wifi was again working without issue. I just returned home from an interview though and wifi will not detect my network again. SSID is still saved, but won't appear in the list or connect. Did a cache wipe from recovery, re-entered my wifi info, reset modem and router, but still no luck. So it appears to be something that I can replicate, and only with N. Here's hoping the next update fixes it.
I'm on the N beta preview 3, and my wifi will randomly stop working on my 6P. I have to switch it back each and every time. Also, when I return home, my 6P won't automatically reconnect to wifi like it did on MM. Definitely seems like a bug.
I am using the latest preview. Wi-Fi won't connect. It shows both the 2.4 and 5 ghz options as saved, but it won't use either one. Older version of Android connects fine to same router. I have a NetGear router.
same issue
Yes I would like to report having this issue as well on the 6P in N beta. I have a 5x on MM in one hand 6P on N beta in the other . 5x has connection fine 6P does not using 3 different routers.
Android N on 5x experiencing same issue. Any resolution?
I can report the same. Has anyone discovered a fix?

Wifi works great on preview 4. Might suggest a full wipe of your phone and flash again. ATTACH]3800543[/ATTACH]

Mine works well however if you turn it off and then travel away from your router with wifi off; it will fail to reconnect upon returning to your home wifi and turning it back on. Do you ever turn your wifi off for an extended period of time?

WiFi Issue
Don't know if related. In my case, cannot turn on/off wifi. Even while of it shows the progress bar as if it was looking for networks. Have no wi-fi at this point and unenrolling from the beta isn't sending me the rollback to marshmallow. This on a Nexus 6P
Temporarily fix
I found a temporarily fix till the next update (hopefully) fixes it. Hop to advanced setting and click on wps button. Wait for 5-10 second then click cancel. Hop back to wifi list and you should find your SSID. Sometimes it won't connect even though it's saved and appears in the list. What you want to do is keep clicking on connect. This should help, atleast it does for me. Nexus 5X on Android N.
So, I have been having some extremely frustrating issues with the WiFi on my 6P. I got my phone in January and I have been super happy with it except for this one issue. Since I got it, I was using the stock OS up until the April security patches came out. Before the patches, I had some issues, but the phone was still mostly usable. Especially after that update, however, I have been faced with two very irritating WiFi issues.
When my phone goes to sleep, the WiFi connection inevitably drops out. Sometimes, the WiFi will still be active but not associated, but it will frequently have also switched itself off completely.
I can only stay connected to a network for about 30 seconds tops. The connection will just stall out and then reconnect after several seconds.
In an effort to get better performance, I decided to switch from the stock OS to PureNexus (which I used and loved on my old Nexus 5) and I also flashed the ElementalX kernel. For the first few days, the WiFi performance was rock solid, but slowly it got worse than it was on stock to the point of being unusable now. Now, here's what I have already tried/checked:
The "Keep WiFi awake during sleep" option in the Settings app is DEFINITELY set to Always.
This issue is not specific to any one network. It had occurred on every network that I've used and on 2.4G and 5G networks (although it seems to be worse on 5Ghz)
I tried turning the band selection off Automatic and choosing both 2.4 and 5 only options, both just seemed to make it worse.
I've removed all apps that I installed and checked logcat for any app info that might be related to the issue. All I see is just normal stuff and then BAM! The wifi driver states that it disassociated from the AP.
I tried installing WakeLock to hold WIFI_MODE_FULL at all times. This hasn't made much of a difference with it disassociating while the screen is off.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this? I am to the point now where I might have to send in my phone under the warranty because I don't know if it's just detective hardware or what at this point. The fact that it worked well after a clean install would seem to suggest that it isn't, but the fact that it persisted across two different ROMs suggests that maybe it is.
Either way, I am at a loss and I've exhausted all the diagnostic skill that I have trying to fix this because it's so damn frustrating when you're in the middle of doing something and you can't stay connected for 30 seconds. Any help or ideas would be appreciated immensely!
My issue is the wifi connects but no internet message

Is this with different Access Points or just at a particular wifi spot? I would factory reset the device, reboot your router, make sure you don't have any odd settings on your router like modified channel bandwidth, etc. If the 6p doesn't stay locked on, it's a hardware issue and I would do a warranty claim. My 6p wifi has been money since January with every ROM.
So I have the SM-G928T galaxy s6 edge+. It has a few issues, one being the wireless charging constantly pauses and then comes back and sometimes just stops all together. I fixed this with turning the daydream feature on. My BIGGEST issue is the Wireless! The wireless adapter CONSTANTLY turns itself off at random, then turns back on a few seconds later. This causes any downloads, updates, etc to fail.. I've read that I am not the only one with this issue, but so far no fix has been really found... I've gone into recovery and cleared the cache partition, made sure that smart network switch is turned off, keep wifi on during sleep is set to always (even though it shuts off while ACTIVELY using the phone). I've done a factory reset more than once, each time clearing cache partition. I've been told in several other places that it's my wireless router... This is NOT the case.... For one, I'm a network admin. If it was router issue, I would know it. Secondly, it happens no matter what network I am connected to. Public wifi, home wifi, corporate wifi, etc. All have the same result. The only thing I have not noticed is if it does it even when there is no network traffic on the device, mostly because I don't just sit and stare at my phone when I'm not using it.... Only notice it WHILE I am using it. My assumption though is that it's only happening when the device is USING the wireless connection. It is also important to mention that this is the 2nd device to have this issue. I thought it might be hardware issue so I exchanged it for a new one, and it also has this problem... Maybe I just have terrible luck....
Does ANYONE have any ideas on this?
All day today I have been having Wi-Fi connectivity issues. None of the other devices in my home are experiencing this. It is just my OnePlus 8 Pro that keeps dropping Wi-Fi and refuses to load games. While I'm on Facebook or any other app it refuses to load. It doesn't matter what frequency I am on or what channel I am on. It is not my service provider I have already called and asked. I think something is messed up. So is anyone else having Wi-Fi problems on the OnePlus 8 Pro?
Do you have a private DNS active?
Same here

Mine will only stay connected for short periods. If I put it down and leave it for a while 9 times out of 10 it's swapped me back to mobile data. I've reached out to OnePlus to see if it's a fault or a known problem they're working on.
This is actually happening to me as well. 10.5.8 stock rooted. I see that exclamation point next to the wifi signal sometimes and nothing else in the house is having issues.
Okay so this is what you have to do to fix the problem. Click onto your Wi-Fi and let it go into the settings then swipe up on your screen and go into the app info. Clear your cache. Turn your Wi-Fi off and back on and it should work just fine
I have a much better fix. Change your MAC privacy setting to "Use device MAC" and change from default "Use randomized MAC". Wa la I haven't had a drop all day. This has been driving me crazy!
It might actually be a really simple problem with a simple solution, just i need to see a screenshot with the diagnostics, or the troubleshoot from the device why doesn't it want to keep the connection steady. You can actually learn all these things related to the wifi and some little programming things really easily, it is not that tough, trust me. I took the cisco programming course from SPOTOclub.com, during this pandemic, and in one month i was already an expert in the wireless connection and the LAN and so on and so forth.
If you're having Wi-Fi connection problems or see an Wi-Fi icon with an exclamation point Wi-Fi problem, try the solutions below:
Make sure Wi-Fi is on. Then turn it off and on again to reconnect.
Make sure Airplane mode is off. Then turn it on and off again to reconnect.
Press your phone's power button for a few seconds. Then, on your screen, tap Restart Restart.If you don't see "Restart," press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds, until your phone restarts.
