The problem I'm experiencing is that I am not receiving push notifications of any kind while my phone is locked/sleeping (screen off) on my wifi network at work.
My home wifi network and mobile connection have no such problems, i get the notifications instantly. My wifi is set to never sleep.
I do get the notifications a couple of seconds after I unlock my phone though. Not very useful because I have to keep checking my phone.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but my home network is WEP secured and work is WPA/WPA2 secured.
Anybody have any ideas what could be causing this?

My guess is that your work network blocks those ports (not sure what they are).
Edit: I had a quick look and saw its port 5228

Thanks for the info. I'm on a home router...Belkin N300...anything i can do?

Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you go into your router settings there should be an option somewhere to open up additional ports. (typically 192.168.0.1 in a Web browser) Just have a look online to make sure the port your opening for Android is correct, I only had a very quick look.

Sometimes when I wake my nook from sleep it wont connect to my wifi.
When i go to my Wireless settings, it shows that my WIFI is On but it it does not detect any networks(there are over 10 wifi networks in range (apt building)).
I go to turn wifi off and it grays out and I get a message that says "Unable to stop Wifi".
The tablet locks up and reboots. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have seen this once or twice. A router reboot can help a little, but it hasn't been enough of a problem for.me that I've tried to do anything else. All of my Android devices have had problems with my router now and again.
I dont think its my router. Ive got 3 Android phones, A kindle fire, 1 Asus Transformer, multiple laptops, Xbox 360's, wii and multiple IOS devices hooked up to my network and none of them have complained about my wifi being busted. The nook tablet is the only one doing this. My first nook tablet did do this at all. I am wondering if this one has a defective WIFI chip
Yes, I have this same problem on my home wifi.
But in my office, everything is ok.
I have had the same issue. I just reboot the NT. It happened this morning, it was charging overnight with the low battery warning comming on last night before charging. Perhaps that may have something to do with it. I'll try to see if it's on it's charger next time it happens.
I had issues with mine doing that somewhat often. It would even happen during use. I was non rooted with a couple of sideloaded apps. Finally I got fed up and took it in. They swapped me out for a new one and I've had zero issues since.
I was lucky in that both me and my wife got these and I had a point of reference. Her tablet had no wifi issues while mine did. That was what led me to believe there was a problem with mine.
If you keep having the issue, you might want to think of getting it replaced.
WiFi problems only on one router.. Connected - No internet.
The WiFi on my Rooted Nook tablet works great at home, at in-law's, at parents, at neighbors houses. But at church it would find the signal and accept the password then said - "Connected - But no internet". It had full bars. The IP address was some generic number with mostly zero's. I had access to two different iPhones at the time and they both worked and connected to the internet with appropriate sequential IP addresses. I rebooted the D-Link router and my Nook Tablet with the same results. Any Ideas??

Me thinks that your deity doesn't like the idea of you rooting B&N's device.
What are the IP addresses of the other devices, the NT doesn't like nonstandard network protocols.
NT reboot required to get WiFi working
I purchased two Nook Tablets for my kids. Both are rooted using Snowball-mod. Both typically work well, but then refuse to connect to my home wireless network after some time. I have several other laptops and PCs connected to the same WiFi network with no issues. Only the Nook Tablets are unable to connect (after several hours of use). Rebooting the Nook Tablet always solves the problem... until it happens again. I have not found a patter to this yet (i.e. what might be triggering the WiFi to stop operation). If anyone find a solution to this issue, I would love to know what is found.
Several of us have found WiFi will lock out when the device is in sleep mode. Killing WiFi prior to sleep seems to stop this mysterious behavior, for me anyway.

Is it known whether a un-modified ("stock" B&N NT) also requires WiFi to be disabled before entering sleep mode? If this is not an issue with an un-modified Nook Tablet, then perhaps this issue can be corrected soon.
Hi all,
The NT does not support Channels above 11 on WiFI networks...so if you router is on Auto-mode, it might choose a channel higher than that...and puff...no net...
Also, I had a Netgear Router which had some WPA2 incompatiblities with my both my Blackberry and my NT. Flashing the Router's firmware, also solved my problem.
Hope my experience is helpful.....
Cheers,
Gizmo
Gizmo, thanks for the suggestions but I do not think this is a router channel issue. What is happening is that the NT WiFi seems to lock-up (possibly driver issue). Bringing up Settings and tapping to turn off WiFi results in a grayed-out WiFi toggle (not "Off" but inactive). Attempting to touch WiFi again after this produces a message similar to "WiFi is not responding" (I don't remember the exact message now). My routers are set with fixed channels 1 and 6 as well.
Hi, I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble getting WIFI to work on my NT. The thing is: it only works disabling the password on my home network! But I want to maintain a secure connection... Can someone helpe me? Thanks in advance!
waking the wifi
Don't know if I'm late or not, but I actually found a resolution to this issue by downloading an app from the Google Play store called Wifi Manager. It's free and as soon as you launch it, it'll instantly re-wake and reconnect your wifi within less than 1 second. It's not intended for that use but it helps big time!
I've noticed that I'm losing Wi-fi connection very often. Its coming randomly... first for example I using browser Dolphin HD and connection is lost...
2nd - I turn Prime in the morning for the first time and doesn't work immediately.
After restarting it works, but this is happening now almost every day.
Wi-fi antenna shows half of signal so this should be working. But the problem is that antenna is in grey color instead of blue color.
U know if you click manage WiFi settings then click option screen there is a advanced setting where you can change WiFi to best preformance this should help you

I see no option for best performance in advanced settings????
Go to wireless settings hit manage WiFi access points hit menu then hit advanced then check box for performance
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I think he is talking about the wifi disconnection policy. No such thing as "performance" in wifi settings.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
About what kind of "policy" are you talking about ? i didn't hear anything about that..... what is that normal to lose wifi connection? nothing we can do?
At the wifi screen, at the very top right corner of your screen next to the add network button there is a button with 3 squares on it. Tap it, then tap advanced. Then change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
Do a factory reset and see if you have same problem maybe its a bad update/flash
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Also try restarting your modem/router and see if that helps. Sometimes the fault may not be on the device itself.
I also have this problem!! The wifi disconnects very often on my campus which makes things really annoying. It seems like an software issue to me though since restarting the wifi makes all the wifi networks display and connect again (until it disconnects again) I have yet to try the factory default solution though.
I still didn't fix this, internet is working fine during that time on PC, but Prime loses connection somehow, I just turned it on and he started of without Wifi connection...

When the Prime loses connection, the only solution that works for me is to turn my router off, then back on

I get back connection after restaring Prime, but that isn't really a solution doing it every day, its annoying at least.

WiFi connection
when i upgraded from Transformer to Transformer prime i had this problem constantly. I had to remove the WiFi network profile and re-add it. that seemed to fix the profile going in and out.
I just upgraded my firmware. And I have problem with Wi-fi.. it keeps connecting, then disconnected over and over.. its never get connected! I tried tp use Fix My Wifi apk, and Wifi Fixer but that doesn't work :'( can't you help me?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
I had this problem once before IIRC. Do you have any apps or settings enabled that automatically turn the WiFi off when you're not in range? Something like Y5 Battery Saver or anything of the sort? If you have any apps like that, uninstall them or force close them then try and connect.
I don't have any app. But my wifi automaticaly turn off whenever my screen off. I can't connect any wifi :sly:

Try this - Blade WiFi Fix
Its for the Blade but works on other phones, it keeps the WiFi alive when the screen turns off.
Hope this helps
Also if it works please post here and comment on the app so other people know if they get the same problem as you

Do you have access to the router you are trying to connect to?
If so try changing the channel its on.
Apparently (from reading on another forum) if there is another router in range that's on the same channel it can cause android phones to struggle with connecting.
You could also try - Spare Parts Plus which allows you to change the sleep status
And - Blade Buddy which lets you change your phones WiFi scan interval

Older thread but doesn't seem solved...
Looking at the above, have you checked your wifi sleep policy? It may be set to disconnect when the screen turns off instead of persisting in the background.
This worked for me
I had a similar problem and found it was DHCP. I have 2 iPads, 1 Droid pad, 2 Droid phones, and an iPod in the house. The Apple devices were attempting to seize IP addresses held by the Droid devices.
The Apple devices were trying to get the last IP they were issued and were ignoring the DHCP deny messages coming from the router and mindlessly retrying the request until eventually they either managed to get the IP they wanted or they just took it. (the latter, I think) When that happened, the Apple device would appear in my list of connected devices, the Droid would be out, and it would lose its connection.
After I entered static DCHP reservations for all the wireless devices in the house, my constant disconnects went away.
I would try setting a reservation for your Droid outside the DHCP range configured on your router.
The fix
Im not trying to revive a dead thread but im just trying to help. If you are having the constant disconnect and reconnect wifi problem , it's because your android phone sucks and cannot take the automatic wifi N. Go to your router settings and set to "Use G only". It will work.
Worked perfectly on my parents LG L7 (free phones from fido) I guess it didnt support N at all. My router was on "Mixed A/B/G/N" settings.
Hope this helps.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 on 4.04 on my home wi-fi using WPA2 with AES encryption.
When I download anything large from the play store or use torrents the wi-fi disconnects and reconnects.
I should be able to download without my wi-fi connection dropping.
If I change my router settings to use WPA and TKIP I can download without my wi-fi disconnecting but this isn't a good solution as my wireless speeds are slower using WPA.
Any advice please? I have tried 2 different routers and the issue is the same.
None of my other devices have any issues pc, laptop etc when downloading while connecting using WPA2 and AES.
Can anyone check if they have the same issue please, using say adownloader download a torrent and make sure you're using wpa2 and aes on your router, keep the screen on so you can monitor disconnections.
Thanks

how do you disable dual encryption? thanks
same issue here, but only on a router running dd-wrt.
My other router with wpa2 does not disconnect. Are you on dd-wrt too maybe?
Same issue for me, with 2 differents rooteur... (WPA2)
Trying to disable wifi offload and wifi save mode without resolve the problem...
Futur upgrade should resolve it...Hope...
Yep, I can confirm I'm having exactly the same issue. At home I'm using a BT home hub 3.
At work its just a generic netgear.
I'd just like to say, well spotted. I didn't even think to change the WPA2 to WPA.

when using a BT homehub 3 I found I kept losing wifi signal it just kept dropping out, then I tried this....
From your phone dial screen dial *#0011#
Press button to right of home button (menu ?)
you will see a list of options, press wifi
you will see a button marked 'on', around half way down the screen on the left.
Even when I turn wifi sleep off, this button says that the sleep function is on.
Turn it off with a single press, then press return button untill you are back to your home screen.
After doing this no drop outs !!
If you turn handset off at any time this resets and you need to repeat the steps.
Thank you for answer, already done but sometimes is enought to keep connectivity, sometimes not... Keep thinking is not à real fix... But you're right, it's seems to be better like this...
