I'm trying to figure out a wifi roaming issue I've noticed that the OnePlus 5 seems to have some issue when roaming from AP with an SSID to another AP with the same SSID.
What happens is I see the roam occur (the wifi icon goes from low signal to full signal and with wifi analyzer it shows it's migrated to the new AP) but then the phone seems to get stuck and is unable to send / recieve data.
A quick tap on / off of airplane mode immediately resolves this issue but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this and has figured out which settings on their router the phone doesn't seem to like?
I have other devices on the network and they don't seem to have this roaming issue so it does seem like it's isolated to this phone.
The issue seems to occur most often when roaming from the DDWRT Netgear WNDR4300 (Atheros platform) to the TPLink c20i (AC router on a Realtek platform)
Same problem here. Asus router and asus extender.
Yes, me too. I have a Virgin router downstairs and TP link extender upstairs. When I go upstairs I have to touch off the wifi on my phone for a second and it will then connect.
A bit annoying but generally speaking I am very happy with the phone.

Hello,
First, its not that the router have problems, because I can connect an iphone and 2 other pc through wireless!
On wi-fi connection settings I can see the wireless connection. But when I try to connect to it, it stays "connecting" and then it fails and automatically become Unavailable!!
Any idea how to fix this problem?
router: Level One WBR-6001
I have exactly the same problem. Well try to work this out. I have two broadband lines in my home. One broadband line has a Zoom Router on it. The other Broadland line has a Dlink Router. My P3600 (WM6.1) can connect via Wifi to the Dlink router no problems with any Encryption. However, when I ever try connecting to the Zoom router I can see the wireless connection. But when I try to connect to it, it stays "connecting" and then it fails and automatically become Unavailable. I even can access unsecured networks up to 500 yards in my street. Anyhow I contact HTC support and they are one of the worst customer support group i have ever come across. They takes ages to respond to e-mails and offer stupid solutions that do not work. They Are as much good as a fireguard in a chocolate factory. So I contacted Zoom Support that do not what is causing the problem but at least they are in investgating the issue unlike HTC who seem not to be interested. My money is on the router.
Confirmed from HTC the problem was my router. I got new one a 3com router started working right away.
I had a 3com before this one and it worked well with my phone.
but i had to change it cuz it got broken
I have a D-Link DIR-655 802.11n router. Encryption set to AES/WPA2. The DX will connect just fine, but after a few minutes of web browsing it will stop transmitting data. I remaing connected to the Wifi signal but no data is passing and web pages go to 'page not found'. If I toggle WiFi off then on again, I get a few minutes of browsing then the same issue. No such issue on laptop or desktop connected to same router.
I read elsewhere that the DX may have issue with AES or just the 802.11n band in general. Anyone else found a solution or can shed light on this?

Download the WiFi Analyzer app and make sure your router is on a channel that no other router is interfering with.
I have my Tattoo rooted with 1.6 (can't recall the ROM name) with build number 1.67.405.6. Almost everything works fine except the connection with my home WiFi network. It's a PPPoE connection through ADSL modem. Next in line is the Netgear WG602 v3 WiFi router. At the beginning I couldn't connect at all so I changed the router's ROM to DD-WRT. Now I can connect with the router but no connection to the internet whatsoever. I can ping my router through my Tattoo, I can even open the 192.168.1.1 and mess around with its software but no connection to the internet. It is only limited to my Tattoo as I can connect through my laptop, through my other mobile (HTC S710) and also I can connect my Tattoo with any other WiFi (Secured or Open) with no problems at all.
I tried with no Security, with WEP, with WPA-PSK to no avail. Any other clues?
try running htc mail while you are using your wifi throuf your tattoo it worked for me
What is supposed to happen if I do that? I'm trying it as soon as I get home btw.
Nothing happened
Hi all...sorry for my interference but this problem is similar to mine.
I'm going mad from many weeks trying connect my Huawei Ideos (U8150) to my home wlan through a netgear VG602v3 AP. No way to do this.
Wifi works from my laptop and from my girlfriend's laptop, but from ideos it doesn't.
I turned off all wireless device in my house, I tried with/without WPA, I tried open network from channel #1 to channel #13, tried changing ssid and I also tried praying .
There is a weak wifi near here: it is on channel #1 and its power is between -89 and -82db. My wifi power (data from kismet) is between -50 and -18 db and is configured on channel #11.
In any cases, even if I put my Ideos near to AP antenna the story is ever the same:
- Ideos indentify the wifi network
- Ideos acquire the IP
- I open the browser or the android market and...
- Ideos lose connection...and so on.
I downloaded from work wifi (crypted with WPA) a wifi scanner from app store: it shows me the neighbour's weak wifi and my wifi network which appear and disappear recurrently.
Please, someone helps me (without suggest to buy another AP!!), any suggestions are welcome!!
Have you tried logging into the router and checking the privileges for devices. Some of them have a security element that restricts the use of the internet on newly connected devices until the setting is changed. I had a similar problem with a new laptop.
hope it helps.
I checked every setting to no avail. I still think somehow that my problem is with my router or adsl modem which doesn't connect automatically with PPPoE and Android doesn't have any command or software to initiate a PPPoE connection.
Other than that... Can't find any solution. Until then, I use connectify on my Win7 laptop. The thing is that I have to keep my laptop switched on as long as I'm in the house.

thank you for suggestion. I looked in depth but I did not found the option of which you were talking about. The unique solution still remains change the AP!!!
WiFi and Netgear Router
I think I finally found the answer. It appears Netgear routers support something called WiFi Multimedia. Its a QOS methodology. I disabled WiFi MM or WIMM as its sometimes called, as well as Internet QOS and all my problems connecting to web pages, the market, etc. through WiFi disappeared.
Strange that older versions of the ROM supported WIMM (or ignored it) and newer ones don't. But that solved the problem for me with no real degradation of performance on any of my other computers.
Good luck.
I have a weird situation. I have an SMC8014W-G modem/router at my upstairs desktop and D-Link DAP-1360 Range Extender on the main floor. I can connect from wifi being initially turned off to either spot no problem. BUT I cannot move my phone or tablet from one of their locations to another unless I turn off my Tablet`s WiFi for about 5-10 minutes before turning at back on at the new location, or it will not connect. This is a problem with my network, because the same thing happens on my android phone. Still working on it. I`ve seen others across the web talk about this problem with other mobile devices, while saying the problem doesn`t happen on PC type devices like laptops.
To test that out, I turned my phone's hotspot on. Using my tablet I was able to switch between my home connection and my phone's wifi signal back and forth with no delay at all. But moving from my router's location to my repeater's location could not be done unless I waited 5-10 minutes whether it's on my phone or my tablet.
The entire network is on "802.11 G" (can't used mixed mode or N, that's a whole other story we're not going to get into here) and both router and repeater are set to exactly the same gateway, DNS, network name etc. Encryption is WPA2. The only difference between them is that my main router is set to be a DHCP server, while the repeater is not (it says I can leave DHCP Server off if the router's is on. Perhaps that's wrong, I still have to try that). And my router settings only shows WPA2-PSK while my repeater has more detailed options showing WPA2 Cipher Type: AES PSK/EAP: Personal.

I have a similar problem with my TP-link WA5210G wifi extender.
My laptop connect fine,but my phones for some reason don't want to connect,they just stay on the obtaining IP and don't connect,i have mine in universal repeater.
And my phone and PS3 will just not connect.
I am guessing that you have this thing turned on in "Repeater Mode"?
Are you using it in Repeater or WDS mode?
Repeater but I solved the issue with newer router now it's handing off properly. There's a slight disconnect and reconnect for a few secs when moving between the 2 points but that's liveable

That's how it should be unless you're using the commercial routers I use at work. Those are generally way above consumer price points, though. Even at my house, I have a four second handoff time between router and AP.
Hi there,
I have been having issues with internet rolling out at home and I've been wondering if it has to do with a network setup. Basically we have 3 routers in different parts of the house with the same SSID for seamless connection and wifi signal everywhere in the house.
The issue I believe I'm having is that my devices are frequently connecting between each router and my device connection halts momentarily and the wifi icon isn't changing to reflect this.
What I need is some way of knowing which router my phone is connecting to with time stamps and hopefully even a Mac address since they have same SSID. Is this possible to retrieve from Android or is there an app for it? Even if it doesn't give too specific information as long as I can see that there's been a network change would be ideal too.
Thanks in advance.
