G2 Verizon - Wifi Won't Connect

Has anyone had any issues connecting to Wifi networks on their G2s? I got the verizon version on Saturday and haven't been able to get the phone working on 2 different wifi networks. I can connect to the wifi network just fine, but I can't access the internet at all. I can confirm that other devices are able to connect no problem.
Curious if anyone has some thoughts on how to potentially fix this. If not, will be heading back to Verizon to get a new one. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have the AT&T G2 version , it will connect to any wireless router but the connection will last 5 seconds then no internet, this is totally unacceptable I upgraded from the G-Pro and may go back as that never had this issue, I did read LG had a similar problem with the Nexus 4 and Optimus G

Mine works fine. I have a VZW G2 and an ATT G2 connected on the same router. It connects to both G and N networks.

No issues with my Verizon G2.

Did you try rebooting your router? I see this at home with the families iOS devices a lot, especially after heavy data traffic. I'll turn off the router for a couple hours or overnight and the next day all is well. Router is open, no encryption.

I have the exact same problem. It will sometimes transfer some data using browsers, but nothing on facebook, pandora, or the play store it will say connection lost or not data connection.
My wife has the same phone and it works no problem and also the laptop. Must be a dud wifi radio or something like that. Mine is going back to the store tomorrow.

Are you trying to use adblock by any chance? I was and it was causing the same issue you have. I uninstalled it and changed my proxy settings back to none and wifi is working great now.

Just received my LG G2 White brand new from T-Mobile about 2 hours ago. After many attempts to troubleshoot the issue it all failed. The problem is Wifi will connect to router and even work but after 30 seconds the connection goes down. The actual Wifi signal shows connected but no internet it gets stock. We tried resetting the phone and toggling with different features but still it did the same thing. T-Mobile is the worst they were trying to have me ship the phone back and leave me phone less for days. I complained and they are sending another one overnight but have charged me for the phone on my account. Mind you I've had months of bad service, after all I think I got a defective phone. I've read some other people having the same issue with other carriers. If I get another one with the same issue I'm jumping boat. If anyone knows of a work around let me know. I tried 2 different routers same issues connects then it randomly disconnects and stops downloading or transferring data.
Reset Phone - didn't work
Turned off mobile data - didn't work
Turned off wifi sleep - didn't work

I'm on Verizon. I have trouble with initial connection to wi-fi. It says obtaining IP address for a very long time. Even if I have a very strong signal. It takes about five minutes. It eventually connects and works fine. Then next time I try to connect to that router it works fine. It's only the first time I try to connect to a new router.

I just got this phone over the weekend and I was also having trouble connecting to my home wifi.
It would stay connected for 30 seconds or a couple of minutes then disconnect however the entire time the status under the Wi-Fi settings page says Connected even though I couldn't access the internet or the admin page of the router. Frustrating. If I turned off the mobile data, the wifi, the phone, the router, or some other unknown combination of events it would then reconnect again for another 30 seconds to a couple of minutes.
I called Verizon, they told me to take the phone back since I was within my 14 days. I did this and was optimistic. Then the new phone immediately experienced the same issue.
I did some more research, changed my router from 20 mhz channel width to auto 20/40 mhz. Not sure why it was set to just 20. I thought that would fix it. Nope.
I tried to set my phone to use a static IP, that didn't work either.
Then last night I tried the WPS Push Button option instead of using a password. This method worked and my phone stayed connected. I haven't had a chance to repeat my steps to verify it works again but wondering how other people are connecting, password, wps push button, wps pin? WPS is not my preferred option due to the security risks but just trying to track down what works and what doesn't.
I am able to connect at work just fine using a password.

I'm having a similar problem - my work network has no problem connecting while my home network almost never works with this phone (~25% of the time, other devices have no problem). Occasionally, resetting the phone or just turning on-and-off WiFi fixes the problem, but more often I just give up and use 4G. Anyway, if anyone finds a solution, please post! This is such a standard feature that should really work out of the box.
In case it helps, my home network uses "WPA/WPA2 PSK" security and my work connects to "802.1x EAP" security - also I'm not adverse to changing the security options if it fixes the problem.
Thanks! Nick

After reading more on this, I've decided this issue is router related not phone related.
I discovered my router reached end of life in April of this year is no longer receiving firmware updates. Newer versions of my router have received multiple updates since then.
I will be buying a new router. I report back on if it works.

I really don't think it is "router related" as all my other devices work as expected with my router. A new router may fix the problem, but I'm pretty sure the phone's WiFi is buggy and not the router..

In my situation it really appears to be how my router is handling the connection when I connect with a password since I can connect with limited security.
Does your router have a firmware update available for it? If so, have you applied it?

Received my new to me router yesterday with updated firmware as of 10/7/13.
My phone was connected for a few hours last night and I have not had any problems today. I'll report back if I start experiencing any issues but getting rid of my old, end of life router and replacing it with a newer router worked for me.
I did not buy a brand new router either. I went with a cradlepoint mbr95 which has been on the market for awhile and has already had a few firmware updates.

Check you wireless security settings
Had a similar issue to this and it seemingly was resolved when I moved the wireless router security over from WPA/WPA2 personal to WPA2 personal only. The phone found the WAP and connected right away. I tried to reproduce the behavior but alas I have not been able to do so. Perhaps this will help others.

hi guys
i found the problem
it happens just when you disable auto update in "settings>general>about phone>update center>software update>check automatically"

[Q] Kit Kat Wifi Issues

With 4.2.2 I had no issues with wifi and can still go back to that version and have no issues, but with version 4.3 and 4.4 I have had and still have the following problem.
I have a list of known wifi connection points as well as available access points. Everything appears as it should, but the wifi will not automatically connect to any wifi (protected or unprotected/known or previously unknown) without first turning the wifi off and back on. Additionally, this only works if the persistent background wifi option is toggled off. If I do toggle the wifi on and off and connect to an available access point everything is fine so long as I remain in range and stay connected. If I go out of range and lose the connection, when I next reenter the range and the access point shows up on the list it will not connect unless wifi is cycled on and off. This happens every single day at work and home, although there is a workaround, it is quite annoying to have to cycle the wifi off and on. The networks will show as available and if I click on them and try to force it to connect, it still won't work unless I cycle on and off.
I have seen prior threads with this issue on 4.3 and there was a topic in the official Google issues page and was frankly hoping desperately that 4.4 would fix it, but alas, it has not. I know it is not the device itself since reverting back to 4.2.2 solves the problem.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix to this wifi issue that doesn't involve reverting to an older version of android or some kludged together solution?

Ya.. I have also been facing this problem since i have installed KitKat 4.4 on my i9300

Are you stock? Maybe try another ROM? I had the exact same problem, but my problem was my wifi AP.
1- My router was setup for a/b/g/n, I set it to only what I really had using the Wifi AP, which was g/n
2- I had a weird cable modem to router to Wifi AP setup. The router was handing out IPs, not the Wifi AP. I removed the router and only let the Wifi AP give IP addresses (DHCP). It seemed like the "further hops" away that the DHCP addresses were, the more issues i had with my Android connection.
No other devices on my network had these issues, but doing the above made a world of difference.
All that made my connections lightening quick, no issues at all since then.

odd Wifi behaviour
I got a refurbished delivered N10 last evening, came with 4.2.2, played with it a little, did a network benchmark test (FTP off a LAN NAS) and was getting comparable peformance to my other fastest system (a Thinkpad Ubuntu laptop). It seemed stable but I only used it for like an hour as 4.2.2. I was getting FTP of max 4MB/s over a N-router.
I then let it OTA to 4.3 and then played with it for some hours. Issue I found was the Wifi would work and then have "authentication problem" I had to turn Wifi off then on to make it connect to router. I've had that issue with other devices at times. I was thinking of staying on 4.3 to allow 4.4 to have another bugfix (its not been long out on N10) but I had a key issue for me (PPP Widget didn't work) so I did a stock 4.4. flash upgrade.
On 4.4. the Wifi speed is still fast, but periodically it just stops working, a glitch.
One key thing that stands out is the N10 is connecting at much higher Mbit speeds than any other of my devices, it is showing 130Mbits vs say 20-65Mbits on other devices. I'm wondering if my N10 is "too good" for my router an old low-spec refurbished model (Cisco E1200 v2, which I flashed to latest DD-WRT) ?
I'm not so far disappointed with network performance, just network stability, but I can't tell for sure if its the N10's fault or my router's fault. I'll play with settings a while til I find something stable.

When I first got my N10 I had a lot of trouble with wifi connection. Mostly authentication issues, or it would authenticate but not have internet access. It was frustrating, and Google's support was clueless.
I then tried using wireless tether from my N4 and it worked as it should. The issue ended up being the Arris router that Time Warner uses. I bought a Linksys router and have had 0 issues since. So if you're using an Arris router, or it shares the same chipset, that might be the issue.
The router is the Arris DG860.

Good anecdote.
Well in our house, the proliferation of gadgets has changed progressively to a large number, I make it 14 devices from an initial 2 devices 5 years ago. I count 4 wired and my 4 devices, my son's 2 and my daughter's 3 and my wife's 1. They all compete for router bandwidth, Wifi spectrum, router CPU / cache.
What I might do with this high-performance (capability and demand N10) is segment my network using an old G router I hard fix to non-overlapping channels from N-router, and connect the low-spec devices to the G and high-spec to the N. That will involve no $ and naturally reduce congestion. I run a NAS and download media to it and then stream to gadgets off NAS so I'm Wifi-limited often more than Internet-limited, and even tweaking I get 2MB-4MByte (16Mbit~32Mbit) off a NAS is making my typical LAN speed the same as the Internet bandwidth I buy (16Mbit).
My NEtbook (EEE 1015PN) if it ever felt a Wifi hiccup it would lock-out that frequency and so not see the router til I powered off netbook and remove battery.
I do wonder if some of the N10 Wifi complaints are really just generic or bad combinations with router or "straw that broke the camel's back".

I'm having wifi issues with my N10 as well. I had a few wifi issues at work, but not at home while using 4.3. Now with 4.4 I'm having serious wifi connection issues both at work and at home. In fact my N5 running 4.4.1 is having issues connecting to wifi both at work and at home. Not as often as my N10, but it still happens. I'm running stock on both and have no problem connecting to either network with my laptop.
I've installed wifi fixer, but so far it doesn't seem to be helping much. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be done to fix this that doesn't involve rooting either device?

I'm now running 4.4.2, and I'm experiencing better wifi connectivity, but it still drops out more than it did on version 4.3. Is anyone else having this issue?

Some of your problems might be just coincidence, something changed in your area around the same time as you upgraded. Some of these are just the wrinkles of firmware of device vs firmware of router, some combinations work bad and isn't really "fault" of Android in that you can't test every combination. You could wait for a fix from Android... or just try to avoid the wrinkle by changing settings on the router. A common thing is to move the router from auto to fixed channel and fix to 20mhz narrow. Go the place you mostly are with the N10 and use a Wifi analyser to find the least-congested channel and then set the router to that. What that does is reduce channel-hopping and gives less opportunity for firmware issues on both router and the Android device.
I also had a problem with my N7 when I moved house. The answer was to flash DD-WRT on my router and the problems went away.
So either wait+complain or go look at your router now.
Right now I have DD-WRT on an old refurbished Cisco E1200 and I set it to channel 3 with 20mhz and I got very good Wifi performance. With the stock Cisco firmware I was getting Android Wifi drops and poor performance. Yes, that's partly Android's fault but I fixed it myself quicker flashing firmware on the router.
I also took opportunity in DD-WRT to setup IPTABLES for a transparent proxy so all the devices in my LAN now share a large harddrive as http cache so e.g. any downloads from Play store for say my N4.... is cached to my N10 so I only ever download anything once.
If you have issues still with the N10, then what I find solves a lot of problem is do a stock flash of 4.4.2, on setup untick all the backup+restore from Google, then manually install and configure yourself to make it "vanilla". That often fixes accumulated wrinkles unique to your history of your device and places to more mainstream with less likely of having a unique problem. I do that on all my Android devices now (N4, N7, N10).

Similar wifi problems here
I've had similar issues with my N10.
I will have fast internet speeds (30+ Mbps) and it will just freeze. I'll be watching youtube and it will start buffering. Doing a speed test on my phone shows the speeds as normal. It makes no difference whether connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wifi.

I just resolved my WiFi issue this past weekend. Connectivity is rock solid
Here is what I did I.
Purchased my own cable modem/router. New router had updated firmware. time warner cable modem did not.
Change beacon interval from 100 to 20 on router and repeater.
Made sure router was on a less congested channel.
All is rock solid
YMMV

Great! Often just tweaking settings can do wonders. I flashed DD-WRT on mine and it solved a lot of issues on an old low-spec router.

Hey Guys,
I posted this in General section but saw this so I will add this info:
I just want to share what and why I did it. First off I did not have problems with my wifi on 4.2.2 with the Nexus10. the second that I went to Slim Kat and Vanir 4.4.2 I had weak wifi signal at work and at home when my nexus 7 slim kat and my galaxy note 2 Vanir did not. I noticed that RAM was also weird on the nexus 10. Even though it showed 2gb of ram on the specs it was only showing 1099 on 4.4.2 when I show that I have 1647 ram available with 4.2.2.
Concerning the OS using Ram. Google said that they would make Kit Kat more RAM friendly but I was using 535mb of RAM for 4.4.2 and right now I am showing only 357.3 mb for 4.2.2. I am using the same apps launchers and screen savers
I just flashed back to 4.2.2 this morning so I will update later, I do see an improvement in the wifi though.
I just want to say that I love Slim Kat and that is why I am on the 4.2.2 I just think Google somehow hosed up the wifi on the Nexus 10.
B][/B] Ok so I am at work and have went back and forth between 4.4.2 and 4.2.2. the 4.4.2 connects and disconnects back and forth. When it does connect to router but it says poor connection and it is only 24mbps. "It drops way more than connected" I am 45 ft from router in an open environment.
The 4.2.2 Slim Kat has a fair connection with 78 Mbps and has not dropped once. So I don't know what the difference is with Kit Kat compared to Jelly Bean but for my nexus 10 my wifi is great now with Jelly Bean. I wish I could figure out why and fix but I do not know programming.
I also installed on both 4.4.2 and 4.2.2 a app called WiFi Connection Fixer *Root* by ZEXTR. It did not help 4.4.2 but it did help with 4.2.2. this app helps connect to poor connections or when Android says avoided poor connection.
I don't know why the Nexus 10 is having issues with wifi with KitKat but I wish I could fix it. So I will be on 4.2.2 until a new version comes out and I will test it to see if it fixed it.
update; I have used 4.2.2 all day with the wifi connection fixer and I have not dropped wifi once and the download speed is fast. It is much faster than what 4.4.2 was, at least on my tablet.

Nexus 10 4.4.3 WiFi Bottleneck Problem
Hello there everyone,
I just wanted to confirm that I personally found a fix on my end for my Nexus 10 WiFi bandwidth problem that was definitely evident for many people that upgraded from 4.4.2. First off, I'm totally stock. I will most likely root & ROM this thing in this near future. I was having a bottleneck on my Nexus 10 around ~2 mbps when I tested using the speedtest.net application (may not be the best measurement application but it works). I ended up fixing the problem by changing my router settings in the WiFi section of my browser based software to N/G Mixed instead of just Mixed (which allows 802.11a/b as well as 802.11g/n to run on the router's WiFi signal). I use DD-WRT on my router as well so that may have played a factor in it but I did NOT see an increase in bandwidth until making the N/G Mixed change in the settings. I found this suggestion earlier in the thread and wanted to give it some credit. Thanks everyone!

WiFi issues?

I previously had an Asus ac1900 with no issues on my S8 but upgraded to a TP-Link Deco mesh. I've been having tons of issues whenever all 3 mesh units are plugged in only on my S8. All other devices operate fine. On my S8, literally every few minutes, I get the exclamation mark and lose internet but have full WiFi signal. Sometimes it repairs itself and other times I have to cycle WiFi. An Honor 8 right next to my S8 at the same time has no issues. If I unplug 2 of the mesh units, obviously I lose coverage but the S8 is completely stable. I've tried all the WiFi settings on the phone. Anyone else or any ideas?

1) Have you tried to connect to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks?
2) Forget the connection and re-connect again.
It might be that phone doesn't hop from one router to the other or has a hard time deciding which access point it wants to connect. I have a regular Netgear router, but a good one, so no issues.
Check if your router has a firmware update - helps sometimes.

No firmware update and no control over bands with any of the new mesh routers

Bump

I have the same problem too on my S8+. Hopefully this will get addressed.

I have the Deco mesh router and have the same issues. None of my other devices have problems, just the S8. So frustrating!

Try this if you haven't done so already... I was having the exact same issue. I changed the wpa/wpa2 setting from AES/tkip to just wpa/wpa2 tkip only and haven't gotten any more disconnects on mine. I was Rock solid last night and usually lose internet connection multiple times a night. I had found that in another forum so I thought I'd mention it here.
I may go back and try AES by itself tonight to see how it acts. AES is the more secure method.

You cant do this on the new mesh routers

I'm having the same problem with my Asus RT-AC66U router; I'll try changing the WPA setting tonight. My Pixel never had any issues with that router though.
I've got an unlocked US model S8.
Anybody have issues with Google WiFi? I was considering picking up a 3-pack...

Didn't know that. I'm using the Comcast cable modem/router and also Linksys E3200.

Last week, I upgrade my home router from Netgear AC1750 to TP-Link Deco M5 and experience the same thing. Both S8 phones lost the internet and with a notification of "Internet may not be available". That is when WiFi still connected. I even change the phone Wifi IPv4 to static IP instead of DHCP and DNS server point to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, still the phone lost the internet connection once in awhile at home with the new TP-Link Mesh type router. It appears that the Wifi issue is worst or only with the Mesh type wifi system. None of the other devices at home have this issue including the old S6 phones.

I have the Orbi 3200AC and I was having the same problem with an S8 I picked up from Craigslist. Did a bunch of tests on it and Verizon ended up sending me a replacement for it and this one has been good. No idea what set it off.

Solved!
I have an AC1900 and having the same issues on the my Galaxy S8+, disconnecting frequently. Switched to Tkip security but the speed is limited to the 56Mbps. so I get the logs and see that somehow the router is detecting my phone traffic as DoS attacks. I disabled Port Scan and DoS Protection option on the the WAN setup!!! and it worked!!

Android O has created wifi drop issues with the Nexus player

Android O has created wifi drop issues with the Nexus player

Really? How?

All of a sudden mine does not see my 5Ghz channel.

On both of mine with the so called 'stable' final release of oreo they are now paperweights... wifi is flakey and regularly drops mainly when connected to my asus (funny considering its a asus product) router.
Also when that's happening it half crashes the wifi on the router until both units are unplugged... have tried wiping both players and the router and it persists.
If this isn't fixed in a update (that ill have to sideload) i got paperweights unless i use otg eithernet adapters.
Not exactly the QC I had hoped to get from google
Edit: Confirmed that it works perfectly via the old usb2 apple eithernet adapter
FYI here are network adapters that i can confirm work.. Apple® USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704LL/A) and D-Link DUB-E100

Even in beta and stable the same problem. After reboot it loses wifi and I have to insert password again

I just upgraded to Oreo and i am having the same issue. My 5ghz APs are no longer visible to the Nexus Player.
I rebooted the routers and factory reset the NP, but it will no longer work with 5ghz. The 2.4ghz works, but the speeds are slower and it buffers with some videos.
Anyone figure this out? The version 8.0.0.
Hoping for a fix so i don't have to rollback.

hmmm...didnt think that buffering problem is because of wifi ...same thing here..

I actually experienced the exactly same thing recently right after my nexus player updated itself to 8.0. Nexus drop WiFi and can’t find 5ghz. I read many posts related and many solutions. I tried to clear cliche data, stop wps option in my modem/router, because it would randomly assigned new passwords. I change Lan to ipv4 only then enabled ipv6 back since I noticed it was not the reason....still WiFi dropped now and then. I have to restart my modem painfully and irritated. Till today I read something about frequency of 5ghz may relate to this. I found my 5ghz is fixed channel then I changed it to “auto” as 2.4ghz. After rebooting the modem, Wala, everything works. The voice search function works too with high speed internet.

I don't think you understand. The problem is the 5ghz wifi no longer works. Your "solution" was already mentioned above. That isn't a solution, the 5ghz wifi still doesn't work after the upgrade.
I am considering downgrading since they aren't any help. The video buffering because i am using 2.4ghz wifi isn't acceptable.

I have the same problem as the original post. After Oreo update, Player can see 5GHz Wifi, but it will drop out once in a while, randomly. Usually it seems to re-connect in a few seconds, but it is already too late and the playback is paused (very annoying). My router is running DD-WRT.
Is there a known fix or work-around for this problem yet, other than side-loading a lower version?
Thx

I am suffering this same issue and the remote is laggy. It started after the Oreo update. I also saw 500 Mbps bouncing around my LAN. At points my AC access points were shutting down. That all had quit, but the wifi issues remain. I do see 5ghz and 2.4, but often get, "WiFi has no internet connection" and streaming quits.
I contacted Google this afternoon, was transferred, no freaking joke, 7 times. They then just referred me to Asus, and refused any further support.
Google has fallen a long way in a very short amount of time. Their support is now abysmal, and all off shore.

Came here looking for this, it can see and connect to 5ghz but both are in and out and video is stuttering. Anyone have a recommended lower version? Or can someone suggest another box that has good bluetooth audio output?

Portable Wi-Fi hotspot stability issue

Hi!
I have Nokia 6 with Android version 7.1.1 and ever since the first use in July I found the Wi-Fi hotspot very unstable: when connecting my laptop to the Wi-Fi hotspot run on the phone, it's often that laptop connectivity hangs, it doesn't matter i use 5GHz or 2.4GHz. In the area I live there's full signal and same location and same SIM card using old crap Huawei has been working just fine. Has anybody hit the same issue? I read a bit around this may have something to do with Android 7 version.
Thanks for any help!
