Solution (Tested Personally) :
To get Wi-Fi fixed on your Samsung Galaxy I 9000 follow the instructions detailed below :
Make sure Wi-Fi is ON and Navigate to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings, now click the left-side context-menu button on your phone to bring-up Advanced option and click it.
Now to get things working we will need to make cellphone use a static IP address for Wi-Fi, check the Use Static IP option and proceed with entering values manually.
If you are not sure what values to use take a look at your network-adapter status on computer, here are my settings (should works on most default router setups).
Enter all values and your screen should now look like the one below.
Now go back to your Wi-Fi settings page and click your access-point name and it should show you the manually entered IP value.
Your Wi-Fi issues should be now over.
If you need help with manual values do ask here.

I don't mean to be offensive but your recommendations make no sense at all...
You are saying: if you have wifi troubles switch from DHCP assigned ip-addresses to static ip-addresses, using the settings which are personal to _your_ setup at _your_ house.
If for some reason static-ip-address gives you a better connectivity I suggest you start investigating your DHCP configuration in your network.

No offense taken, but being a system administrator and software developer for 9 years I know what I am talking about. The "DHCP configuration" on my network/router is fine, it is working flawlessly for past few years with 8 computers on the LAN with multiple wi-fi devices connecting to it almost on daily basis - only SGS gets the Wi-Fi blues; it is the 'SGS DHCP' driver implementation which is having issues - without a static IP SGS connects and works for some time but have issues re-connecting automatically after a screen-off or long break. I personally had used my iPhone 3G on this setup for more then a yaear (and many other phones/devices occasionally) without a hiccup and problems were there on SGS from very first day until I used the STATIC IP.
Here are some forum/blog posts/user opinions confirming the SGS wifi issue and the static ip solution :

If you are having SGS Wi-fi issues, have you tried this solution ?

Thanks for the tip. But I was wondering how the wifi would perform if you were at a wifi zone other than your house wifi with these settings. For example, university library or a coffee shop. Would the wifi connectivity get distorted due to these settings when we're using free wifi such as the above mentioned?

I haven't tried this but have the same concern about switching to other wifi networks. My data plan includes free wifi connection to the Cloud, BT Openzone and other wifi hotspots. I would be concerned at the effect of a static IP address on those.
I have only noticed an issue with wifi since upgrading to Froyo. Sometimes the phone dies not switch back from 3G or HDSPA when I return to a wifi zone. The workaround is to switch wifi off and back on again. I have an unlimited data plan so the only concern is speed but that does make it annoying.

Now connects but no Data Transfer
Hello ApnaDroid,
Thanks for your trick.. Now I can get "connected" but cannot have any data transfer.. when I connect to my wifi router (my modem and wifi router are seperate units) which is on 10.1.1.10, I dont see it connected and having data transfer. Strangely, when I see under WiFi routers wireless statistics, I cann see the MAC address of the Galaxy S showing this in front "STA-ASSOC".
That means, that I am getting connecetd to the wifi alright.... but no data transfer... MIND YOU, WITH NO CHANGES TO THE SAME WIFI, WHEN I FACTORY RESET, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
Please guide. Is there any way to patch this in Froyo Build DDJP6.
Regards
PS ; Is there any way I can reset the Wifi to factory settings without Hard Formatting (Factory Formatting) my Galaxy S ???

This solved it..

After doig all the above, I again switched back and unchecked the "Static IP". Then voila... I tried this...i open allshare app which go to wifi settings and connect to the wifi then just close allshare and you have wifi
Went to allshare ad enables wifi... IT WORKS...

As soon as I updated to Froyo I had the same issue with regards to wifi refusing to reconnect to my Netgear WNR2000 at home after a short while, it was fine with Eclair and worked fine with a Draytek 2600 at work after update.
My solution was to change the Netgear router to use WPA2 encryption and not mixed WPA/WPA2, have not had a problem since. I have not tried other methods yet.

Woah, the AllShare method really worked for me. I went out one day and tried to connect unsuccessfully to a hotspot. When I came back, the Wifi didn't work and was stuck at "Obtaining an IP address". Nothing else worked, but accessing the wifi settings through Allshare, gave it an external ip address, (169.152.647.201 or something or other) and from there, refreshed to obtain a local IP within the proper subnet.
Thanks akshayadv!

Also, guys you may try to remove dhcp reservation for galaxy from your routers. Helped meh.

Hi,
My Stock 2.1 did not have any wifi problems. Now updating to stock 2.2 it does. Found a little app on market, Wifi Fixer from Zanshin which did not do anything to improve. Uninstalled it again. Restarting my Bogpond Netgear cable modem router (CG814WGv3) did do the trick for about 2 minutes before dropping again. Another time the wifi stays on but no connection to internet. Which is not correct as other wifi phone does connect as well as my wifi laptop and this computer. Phone reboot will fix wifi for a little while. So I do think this is a Froyo 2.2 issue and dont want to change the router settings as it did work before without a problem. I dont want to go the static IP route for now.
I am wondering if it has anything to do with maybe my Aura gps program. Not so much because of the gps, but because the program wants a data connection at times. Similar with google maps I hear... I see some people suggesting this may create a conflict when only on wifi even though it initially works, something with re-associating the wifi. I am not that technical, so I leave it for your consideration...
???
I would like to find out more about the Allshare method. Could not find an app on market with this name, what is it, where to find, and how to go about it?
Any other solutions or fixes? (I find so many posts/threads, which so little on possible fixes.)
Phone details in signature.
Thanks

Dear VeenK,
All Samsung Galaxy S Froyo ROMs have an app called allshared which comes pre-installed. (Mine is DDJP6 with OCLF installed). I have been using this to connect to the internet. I havent changed any settings like Static IP or the like.. Its just factory settings which are left untouched in my phone.
Method : Just start your Allshare app and when it askes to connect to WiFi, click OK. When the WiFi is connected in allshared, simply close the app and you have the working WiFi. (downside is that the WiFi will have to be connected again using allshare after power off and power on)
Try the allshare app and let us know your feedback... (It has worked for me everythime.. A bit frustrating though that you have to do it off anf on. But its a workaround discovered by me almost by accident. much better than doing a factory reset everytime).
Regards

Thank you, it work for my new I9000 (2.2 IL).

Allshare
Thanks, this workaround worked for me ! Still hate Samsung but at least I can connect to my home wifi again ....

I had to start the AllShare app only ONCE and never more, even after phone reboot.
I am currently using "Static IP" solution since I had v2.2 installed and it works everywhere (DHCP/public cafes(nobody must have the same IP number as the IP number I assigned for my phone), Static/home).
@ApnaDroid (OP):
Great tutorial with pics!
But for DNS1 and DNS2 I think you need to input "192.168.1.1" (router's IP number) in both fields, because "192.168.1.2" is the first device connected to your router.

I have this problem whit my milestone 2:

it's new, I bought it 2 days ago.
I must to send it back for a sostitution or there is a soft way to fix this problem?
please help me!

I herd of wlan issues which some MS have. You probably have to go back to a störe and exchange ur device for another one.

ok, so the problem is an hardware problem? not a software one? I try a lot of wifi and I saw that only whit wpa-psk it's bugged (at my home I have that one...).
is there any method to understand if is an hardware problem? becouse I have buy it on expansys, and I prefer to not change the device if the new one will have the same problem.
thank you a lot!

skaburn, I have had an issue when using the router WPS, PIN or push to connect method as well. The connection was successful but no data flow so I had to manually connect and use the WPAx phrase and all was good ...

where can I entere my wpa phrase?

1. Navigate to: Settings->Wireless & Network Settings->Wi-Fi Settings
2. If you have the network SSID remembered then press and hold the entry until the popup menu appears and press forget network.
3. Press add network and enter the network SSID and press the security combobox and select the correct encryption/authorisation protocol.
4. Enter the password/passphrase and press save.
One other issue I remember was that my wifi router/cable model had the WiFi channel set to auto and it supported 13 channels. The Milestone 2 supports 1 to 11 channels so I manually set them both to 11 (can be any clear channel) just incase there was a problem with the auto-negotiation between the router and the phone.

Ok, thanks a lot, when i try I will share my result.

thank you a lot! whit manual add of wifi, it doesn't work too
but whit the second way the problem is seems to be fixed!
I don't understand only one thing, i had to change the channel of peer to peer connection on 11, but the peer to peer connection is for a router? I thought that it is for a direct connection whit another device..
thank you again..
edit2: -.- connection failed! data still not pass on wifi! it seems to work, but after 5 minutes it doesn't send no more data....

Seems to be a common problem, lots of complaints on the Motorola Forums aswell... I have the same problem.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/41656

@shellite:
yes, I saw but there is no way to fix? I found on motorola support only problem report, not fix..

To my knowledge, after much scrounging, no fix exists and Motorola will not acknowledge that there is an issue.

[Q] I can't connect to Wi-Fi.

So after sucessfully flashing my HD2 to WP7, and obtaining a 25 digit activation code for Live Services, I go to turn it all on and it refuses to connect with my Wi-fi. All it says is "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network wireless". I used to hape WPA, but i took it off so that maybe it would connect. But it didn't work. I even disabled the firewall, and the mac filter list.
My router is a Westel Model 327W (Provided by my ISP).
I currently have this rom installed. This is the second one I've had, the first one was the first one that was ever available, idk what it's called or where I can link to it.
Please help me! I can't get data, so Wi-Fi is my only option for internet! Which is my only option for installing apps! And its not working!
UPDATE:
So i walked down the street and tried to access 3 different Unsecured Wi-Fi access points (all of which I could connect to on my iPod Touch) and for each one it said "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network ______". So now I know that the problem isn't in my internet.
Please help! I have no idea what to do!

Please someone help! I can't do a thing with this phone! It is so irritating!

Reflash the rom with maglrd, but have you wifi router switched off. once the rom is loaded, look into the wifi settings and see if you see other wifi pick ups.. Now switch on your wifi router. Do you now see your own wifi address! I had a similar problem, but that fixed for me, but also choose wep instead of wap.
C how you get on.

Wifi problems with 802.11 N + PEAP Authentication
Hi folks!
Here in my university we have a Network called Eduroam (www.eduroam.org , probably you've already heard about it).
The Hotspots are N capable, so my phone, if connected, shows a speed of 65 Mbps. For the authentication, we use MSCHAP v2. So far, so good...
Now to the things I experienced: @ home, where I use a 802.11g network, everything seems to be ok.
Here in the university it's not. Sometimes it needs a really long time to connect to the network, and sometimes it drops the connection just shortly after. Switching off and on again speeds up the process a lot.
But now to the worst part: Often, the connection is shown as established ('Connected'), but in reality there is no connection: No mail connection, no HTTP connection, ping doesn't go through... nothing. Even it shows it is still connected.
Now I am not sure if this issue is caused by the autentication or the N Network , but I can say two things for sure:
1. My laptop, when connected to the same network with the same parameters works fine.
2. It has been working fine up to the transition from Android 2.3.5 to 2.3.7.
I'm running cm7-20111021-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-pre_stable-v1.5 on a A953, but was also experiencing those issues on builds before that one.
I'd have loved to post this into the developement thread, because I have already seen someone describing a simmilar issue (less detailed unfortunately), but I can't due to the 10 posts minimum rule.
Best regards and thanks for that great port, Endless !

Probably you can try switching off the N network from your phone. Force it to connect through G.
This post might help you.

It basically disables n network from Milestone 2
You can give it a shot.

I delete all my wifi connections, reboot the cell and work all good..

Hi everyone,
yesterday I was it my friend and tried to connect to his access point. He has b/g AP with WPA2 password protection & DHCP enabled. But when I tried to connect it kicked me off in authetication state and tried to connect again - but without success. I tried to disable and enable wifi, deleting saved connection, but nothing of this helped me.
I'm using CM7 - does anyone have similiar or same problem - connecting to WPA2-PSK wifi? I'm using WPA at home and it works ok - I just want know if it is global problem with CM7 on Milestone 2 or just me (or just this AP) and what solutions can i try.
Thanks for suggestions.

I know it is not here but my phone is locked in airplane mode!

It always happens to me on my uncle's house. His wifi is WPA2 and has such a BIG password, but when I try to connect the phone acts as if nothing happened...
I think it's a global problem with Milestone 2, because it didn't work in any Rom, Froyo/CM7/GB/MIUI.

WIFI Trouble

Hello guys .. so I just got my N6P four days ago .. when I first opened it and tried to connect to my home WIFI network .. it refused to do so .. it didn't even detect my network no matter how close I'm to the router .. and strangely it detected every single WIFI network around my house .. all of them .. I tried lots of things including an early factory reset "I think I've made the fastest factory reset in history after only half an hour opening the box LOL " and it didn't work .. I received 4 security updates using my data and it didn't work .. It didn't actually detect the network except for when I changed the network name from the router's page "It was on marshmallow back then"
Now I thought that it got fixed and everything was alright .. I received the official Nougat update the day after this and all worked so fine .. until I disconnected my router and re-opened it .. the mobile didn't detect the network .. AGAIN !
and again it was detecting all the networks around us .. so I changed the network name again and it worked !
now as you can imagine .. this happened with me another 3 times in the past three days .. and it's really annoying .. the mobile is just fantastic but this issue gets under my skin .
any help guys ?
thanks in advance

Any help?

Return it.

How many other Wi-Fi hotspots have you tested your phone with...Friend's house, School, Public, etc? If your phone will see and connect to those, then the issue is your router.
Another thought is you say the phone "can't detect my network". If you mean cannot SEE the network, then you may have the router set to not broadcast the AP. You can still connect using "hidden networks" OR just set your router to broadcast the AP which is the default. Lastly, most routers are dual band, meaning 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Usually each has it's own password (and security settings). Try to connecting to each one, and make sure your security settings are compatible with the phone. (eg. WPA2-PSK AES) vs TKIP. Sounds like you may have some router Wi-Fi configuration issues, more than a phone issue. BUT the first step is to test with other known working Wi-Fi AP's.

I had the same, trying three roms within a few hours.
In the end I had to change a router setting, from "channel 13" to "auto".

Well.. It was my first thought that it was a router configuration issue and I tried all of these things.. Unfortunately nothing worked except for changing the SSID.. What irritates me the most that it already can see and connect to any other wifi "friend's school's etc" it only happens with my own home network.. And my own N6P only.. No other device is affected.. I'm still working on it so yeah

Unfortunately it's not an option.. I live in a country where it's really difficult to get a nexus in here in the first place
But yeah that would have been my first option if it was easy
