Is anyone else experiencing an issue where the phone "forgets" that it is connected to a Wifi network? It will still show that I am connected to the network, but I will be unable to actually do anything online until I disable and reenable the Wifi radio.
This occurs at random times - sometimes I can go hours before having this issue, and other times it is almost immediate.
It is not my router because I have not experienced the issue with other connected devices such as my computer or Xbox. It also happens on any network that I am connected to, not just my own.
Any ideas?

Try going into setting/wireless/wifi settings. Then hit the menu button and select advanced. Then make sure that wifi sleep policy is set to never slerp. Also check the "best wifi performance" is checked as well. See if that helps.

Sorry, rooted with Revolution 1.1.3 and the Anthrax kernel that it comes with. I have tried many different Roms and each one exhibits this behavior.

Ever since I bought the evo3d I have had issues with WiFi staying connected at home(haven't tested other networks). While I'm on my WiFi network browsing the internet and threads my WiFi icon will disappear and I lose connectivity. 3g will kick on for about 30 seconds then WiFi will pop back up and connect. It tends to happen every 5 to 10 minutes. No other device, including my og EVO, has this problem. Ideas? Troubleshooting? Replace phone?

I had this issue with WiFi after original EVO got gingerbread. Change the channel on your router, I had to call Verizon, but been good since
Try turning off always on mobile data and mobile data when your on wifi. If you have automatic sync on I'd recommend turning it off as well when your on wifi. A quick way to achieve this is to use the htc data widget.

You can try going to wifi settings, then hitting menu and advanced to turn on wifi performance mode. And you can change wifi sleep mode as well (one of the settings is fifteen minutes, so who knows)

Well none of those settings helped but I have been on a different router for a little bit now and don't have any problems. So it must be a setting within my main router... Time to mess around with that yippy :/

Wifi has this weird issue where it wants to scan my home network even though its connected a million times to it. Almost like it forgets lol. I usually have to disable then enable it; not a big deal i guess but still a bug for sure!

Mine does the same but after I wake the phone I have no problems. Maybe a 3 second delay reconnecting.

Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)
My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.
as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.

Any confirmation on this update? I have to reboot to use my GPS pretty much every time. SG2 comes out Friday, I'm returning it if I can't get a solution.

Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.
so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.

Might want to check and see if that said the 19th, pretty sure you guys don't have any MR's this week.
I got my GS2 not too long ago, and from the start, it's had issues connecting to my house router. I've tried the wifi elsewhere, and it works just fine.
I have about 7-8 other devices that connect to my router in my house, and they all work. Why doesn't my GS2 work? It's still on stock rom.
I have Verizon FIOS and the plain router they give you, if that matters. Looking for answers before the 30 day window if possible.
Have you tried restarting your router?

Or check for a firmware update for your router.

Is your router a D-Link? The SGS2 hates D-Link's. It has a fondness for Netgear's.

It's an Actiontec. Never heard of that brand.
Is there anything else I can do or check to figure out this problem?
Nvm. I restarted the modem, forgot the connection, then reconnected it. It worked, though it's kind of a weak signal. Thanks given to those who posted.
not the first time I've read that people were having weak wifi signals on their SGS2. I have yet to experience this myself so I'm guessing its incompatible with some routers. I have a verizon fios router and it works great.
I've noticed weaker signals on my S II compared to my captivate and my wife's Atrix. Nothing huge.
That's off a westell 327 dsl router.

I've had no problem connected to secured wifi, but whenever an open wifi is available and I get the notification, when I try to click on it, I just get a Settings crash / force close notification. If I try to manually go into settings and into wifi, it does the same thing. Phone is unrooted - anyone else having this issue?
wifi fix? not for me
I found somewhere online that you can punch *#*#526#*#* into your GSII, and it fixes wifi problems. When I do this, it does begin a driver download, but it never seems to finish. I'm still having the force close issue when trying to open settings to connect to some open wifi sources.
Okay I have been rooted for a day now and it seems that I am having some trouble staying connected to my mobile data. I did remove some bloat once I rooted but I don't think it has anything to do with that because when I am connected everything is fine. Is anyone else having this issue?

It's happened to me a few times but I think it's more of an LTE thing then an issue with the phone.

I'm on stock and see it happen at home as I get near the edge of Wi-fi range. The phone seems to continuously switch from mobile data to wi-fi, causing a lot of stutters when I'm streaming. I also had to switch to the 2.4 GHz channel from the router. The 5 GHz channel was worse and the phone seemed to be confused when I had it set up to connect to both channels. I'm not seeing LTE at our house, 3G at best.

Have you tried changing Settings->Power->Power Mode to High Performance?
That fixed it for me.
Well I had the issue a few times the night before and a couple times yesterday. Bit I think it might be the WiFi effect or what I'm calling it. The phone seems to want to auto connect to WiFi and it makes the mobile data stutter a bit.

I like having it enabled because it allows me to get on my network at home and work automatically. Which is helpful because I gave up my unlimited data. But if it does it again I may look into it.

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.
