Hello everyone
okay, i've been with a really anoying problem since the 2.3.x updates on android (Samsung Galaxy Gio in my case). The problem is that everytime I try to connect to the network, I stay some seconds with good connection and suddently the router just rebots himself. Tryed already changing some router settings (by the way my router is an Zyxel P-660W-Tx v3), setting the phone to factory, deleting apps and I always get the same result. I tryed to contact the Zyxel company but with no sucess until now. I know there's gotta be another fix than just have to buy a new router so it would be great if someone could help me out. Because this thing is freaking me out already.
Cumpliments,
Deviantor.

My model is YP-G70 , firmware 2.3.5 on original updated stock rom.
My wifi working very well when I used with my others device (HTC Desire, Nook Color and PC) but with my awesome Samsung Player...
Every some minute the player drop the wifi line and after 1/2 second reconnect.
And i loose my download
Incredible.
I turn off Juicedefender, I 've setup the wifi property "Wifi sleep policy" with NEVER, I turn on KeepWifi Service (app) but.. NOTHING.
Do you have some advice?
Help...
I had the same issue when I bought my US model. But I only had the issue with my home wifi and not anywhere else. Can you connect at another location and see if you have the same issue? I ended up just replacing my old Belkin router and haven't had an issue since.

Try installing KeepWifi, see if that works. Otherwise it could be your router configuration, like the kind of encryption you use for your wifi password. Try to reset your router but don't use any password for a little while, if that works, use another encryption method.

Thanks for the advice...
I will try, but tomorrow I 'll be in another "wifi area" so with another router...
Solution
I've changed the "Client Lease Time" in my dhcp server (ddrwrt) from 0 to 99999 minutes.
It's working end I don't know why
I read this solution in an old XDA item of this forum. Thanks!!!
Hi
I have the same problem with my G70. For to have the max signal in the device i need to go beside my router. I have try with other router but the problem is the same.
maybe is only the display animation in the screen? I say that because i check the quality of my signal at it tell me GOOD.
im also having this problem on my I9003.
the wifi sleep policy has a bug.
some say that your Security/password should be WPA or WPA 2, they said this happens on WPA-secured routers, i haven't confirmed it though.
the only temporary solution for this is to disconnect or turn off the wifi in your phone settings and turning it on again, then you can connect again.
Due to the ROM,i think.Because wifi on 2.2.1(mine is YP-G1) functions great
Dose G70 have a ROM of 2.2.1?If so,you can try it yourself if you like
well i found a fix for this bug, just download the latest version of WiFi fixer from the Play Store.
that's the easiest way to fix this wifi sleep bug.
Hello, I am having the same problem, but I suspect my situation is worse. I've even tried the wifi fixer app, but my 5.0 drops wifi and breaks large downloads and games that require constant connection.
Do I have a defective unit? Any advice and help would be much appreciated.
Solution! (for me at least) go into your router settings on ur PC and change the lease time to either Forever or 30 minutes ( I can't remember which one). It worked for me... good luck

I had this wifi problem with 2.3.5 it was really annoying . Even if i was a meter from the router the signal sometimes dropped to 1 line. Samsung fixed this problem with the 2.3.6 update, and now the signal is ok.

Not the best solution, but....
I have the same problem that happens with my SGP 5, my friend's IPAD, and the Actiontec Router that Verizon supplies with their FIOS service.
I've tried every other remedy that I can find with no success.
The only solution that works for me is to assign a static IP address to the devices. It results in a very solid and stable connection in both cases.
Hope this helps someone else !!
Thank you all for the advice, but nothing seems to work, and I have no idea how to force it to upgrade the os from 2.3.5.
I don't know what to do now short of sending it to Samsung for service.

Download from samfirmware (or anywhere else) the XXKPL firmware.If you are 5.0 international, simply flash it with Odin. US users must make a new tar with just the "factoryfs.rfs" in it and flash it with Odin. That will upgrade you to 2.3.6. However, if you do that, I strongly recommend installing one of the custom kernels, so it won't be impossible to root.

Hi guys, I seem to have a problem that hasn't been easy to diagnose.
My wifi scans for networks, let's me input the WPA/WEP password and then nothing happens. When I press on "Connect" it isn't doing anything. The weird thing is that to some networks (my laptop hotspot) it connects correctly but doesn't seem to download or upload any data, but nothing happens on other networks.
I've searched around a lot and some people say that it is hardware issues, but for these guys, available networks don't even show up. So I have faith that my problem will be software related.
This first occured on Hydrog3n ROM with Fluxi Kernel, then I flashed the rom with netchip kernel, still nothing, now I'm on stock ROM and still no luck.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi, try in router set to WPA PSK (personal) or better WPA2. maybe it will solved.
Maybe you should try to wipe phone completely data/dalvick/cashe/format sd card... Then install some fresh rom and see it then...
Thanks for your help guys!!
After fighting with this for several hours I found out the problem. My router is old and the signal it transmits is b/g. So I set it up to only g and my phone in only 2,4Ghz...
This fixed the problem!
Thanks again!
hi everyone,
my phone is a GT-I9300, android 4.0.4, Baseband I9300XXLFB (original, stock), Kernel vers. 3.0.15-782020-user[...], Build number IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB.
it seems that Samsung didn't only change the Search function through the update we got last week, but also disabled Tethering (I think).
the update was meant for the US version of S3 where the Tether option is sold separately by the operators but they also released it for the international version. I found Nexus users complainig abt the same issue after update.
does anyone know a fix for this? can someone reccomend a good custom ROM please
Thank you
original post
"my S3 worked fine untill few days ago...I don't know what changed it, but my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore. it gets connected to the router but I have no transfers (tried it on my router but also in many "public" Wi-FI). also, none of the Tethering options work (haven't tried them before 2 days ago, only after the Wi-Fi issue came up), none of the Wi-Fi, USB or Bluetooth (Tethering gets connected fine, but the connection has the exclamation mark and I have no internet on my PC). It might have happend after Samsung's update fix we got few days ago for searching or something, but I'm not sure."
Wi-Fi is working after I've done a reset on the router...but I don't understand how the hell my router affects other Wi-Fi connections. There seems to be a software glitch with the Wi-Fi somehow.

I tried the *#0011# command and switched off the "WIFI Power Save Mode" but that didn't fix it either.
I suppose it is a software problem as the phone (apparently) worked fine fot 3 weeks (I got it on the 7th July).
did/does anyone have this issue? please help me fix it and also, please reccomend a good custom ROM (or "the best" if there is such thing ).
Thank you very much for any help

According to your description, I'd say that your wifi chip's done
I'd call to local service/place you purhaced the phone and explain the problem.
Warranty should cover that kind of problems.
Ok, so here's the deal.. I have a DLink DIR-300 router... Ever since I moved to ICS (stock and rooted) on my Galaxy S2, I always have some difficulty to connect my phone to the router...
I get "authentication error" or simply try to connect but then stops trying.
There are only 2 ways to fix this:
1-) Forget the network and turn WiFi off during some minutes.... Then turn it on again and reenter password
2-) Reboot my router
This only happens with this router (which of course drives you to think that's the source of the problem) but the weird thing is that my two brothers also have a Galaxy S2 and have no problems (using different roms)
Any idea of what might be happening or how to solve this once and for all? Additional data of my phone:

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup & try one of the roms your brothers are using & see if it fixes the problem. Could be an issue with the WiFi drivers in the particular stock rom you're using not playing nice with the router.
If it's OK for you using one of those roms but you really want to stay on stock, keep trying stock roms until you find one that doesn't have the problem.
They're the things I'd try if I were facing that problem. A router firmware upgrade might help as well, but given only one phone out of three is having problems, I'd try the above first.
Could it be that one of your brothers blocked you on the router?
There may be a limited set on how many wireless connections your router may be set with and yours has just went over the limit.
You could try using a manual IP, Gateway & DNS rather than DHCP settings that the router would give you.
Hi,
I had no problems so far, but my Router broke and I got a new one. From this day one my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone is having this annoying wlan disconnects.
I have lots of wireless devices (laptop, tablet, 3ds, lots of htc phones etc, kindle) non of this has issues with my new router.
But somehow my S3 keeps losing the connection. This usually happens after I left the building and come back.
I look for many solution but couldnt find one working.
I tried the always on during stand by (it was anyway always on)
I tried to change the 2,4 brandwith but somehow this option is not availibly on my phone
I tried the *#0011# something number (I forgot) to change the wlan sleep time, but this option is not availible on my phone.
My router is using a dhtc ip distrupition also is using the b g n, which seems to work with any other device. I heard i should switch to only b g. But this lower the speed by 3, i dont want to do this. If this is the problem is there no fix for the samsung phone?
Thanks
ps after reconnecting the internet works without problem is the disconnect during standby which is annoying
Try a factory reset .

I did now a factory reset, it didnt work. I still have the same wlan problem. And now I have to press like 3x connect until it connects to the wlan network...
The problem is solved with the patch released in January.
This big updated fixed all problems.
