Hello,
After installing I9300XXDLIx updates, anyone having issues with WiFi in a network where multiple routers have same SSIDs? At home my WiFi connects to internet without any issues and when I come to office where we have multiple routers with same name, I face internet connectivity issues. Other phones works perfectly well in this environment. Neither i had any issue with s3 on ICS (4.0.4).
Note: Network signals overlaps as well. See screenshot attached.
Thank You

Hi,
so kernel sources are released. Is there any fix for hero's wifi problems? I mean dropping connection to AP. It is so annoying, I tried to do everything: change channel, mode, encryption... Nothing helped. It is Linksys wrt160nl. The same applies to other networks (some public hot spots).
I never had this problem with my Linksys WRT54GL...

Could you paste your wifi settings? (mode, encryption mode, channel)
Using the Modaco custom ROM 2.8 (never had problems with modaco ROM and generic)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.25 firmware
Wireless Mode: Access Point
B/G Mode: Mixed
Channel: 1 - 2.412 Ghz (try a free one)
Security: WPA / WPA2 Personal
Encryption: AES
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
No Mac Filter
Under Advanced Settings I changed "Transmit Power" to 251mW for a better signal, the rest are default values.
Try to update your router firmware
Are you alone with this problem?

In case you haven't done so yet. Check out the Wifi Sleep Policy (access by pressing menu when you are in wifi menu). Normally the Wifi is turned off then the screen is turned off which can cause problem.
Similar problem with netgear wnr2000

Hi got similar problem with my router netgear wnr2000.what i found funny is that when i reset the router, the phone connects perfectly to the router, but after abt 24hrs or so, it fails to connect.even if i reboot my phone, or reset the connection on phone.fails to connect.it will only connect when i reboot the router. i will try the 'aes' encryption n see if that helps.will update if it works
Thanks for your replies. Please could other members share their experiences, used options and solutions. This issue is too common to simply forget it. I am trying to find some kind of pattern or special options, it requires.
i dont have a problem with wifi apart from the wont find or connect to n-range device other wise i use wifi all the time it never drops, on stock orange uk firmware
I have a Sitecom WL-173 router.
I cannot connect at all. I can, but only with no or WEP security. That is no option for me.
When I use WPA or WPA2 my Hero does view my network, but does not connect.
I called HTC about this problem. He told me that they do not support all routers. He could not tell me which they support and which not.

I also have the same problem. The way to solve it is to change the above setting to 'G' only. Not mixed/Hybrid.
Cheers!
I have not had any problems trying to connect to WiFi networks, until i went over to my mates place where he has the Virgin 50MB B-Band and also a D-Link wifi-N router, and my Hero could no see the network at all, even though his iPhone connected straight away.

I'm sorry, it hurt even more when i was sitting there pissed off that my Hero wouldnt connect to the Wifi!!!
I have Virgin 50meg at home no problem at all, went to my GF's who has basic Virgin cable 10meg on netgear G and would not connect at all.
No idea why, as it should be all fine!
I have the same problem. It is so ****in annoying. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware v1.25. Router is in "G only mode", WPA-2 PSK-AES security, I've set a static local IP for the phone, the phone's wireless is set to always ON... I basically tried everything I could think of. Ended up rooting the phone and installing Modaco 2.9... but didn't change anything. The only way I can get it work again when it drops is shut the Wi-Fi off then on...
Worst of all this is the problem seems widespread (but not universal)... What the **** does HTC think putting a ****in smartphone on the market with defective Wi-Fi... This is non-sense.
I really hope someone comes up with a fix or HTC updates this... otherwise we might want to start thinkin bout class action.

Is it a router setup or a Hero setting?
Pleaes explain if it's one of the options
probs here too ...
Linksys WAP54G v3.1
vs
HTC Hero
was working perfectly for first month or so, but has been getting worse and worse. ie, for a few weeks it would see the wifi but would usually fail to connect. now I'm lucky if it can see it at all!
have reflashed the wap with dd-wrt and experimented with a lot of settings. no diff.
have reflashed the hero with hero21 comunitry v1.6. no diff. (and also latest radio)
it just starts and stops when it feels like it.
oh, and my eeepc works fine on the same wifi, so I know it's not some wap screw up.
tried every tip I can find like 'use mixed mode' or 'g only', etc etc.
I am starting to think it's a hardware fault?
Same problem
Siemens Gigaset Tiscali modem with wpa psk2 tkip and T-mobile hero rom.
Sees the modem and connects with security first time but then says 'remembered out of range' on wifi settings but interestingly in wifi buddy it constantly has the syncing symbol next to the network.
Really annoying.
I've tried WEP and security off, wireless g only etc etc.
I have problems too but seems different to yours... but who knows : in fact i can't connect to wifi when the SSID is masked. Even if - or course - i put manuualy the ssid before with the good wep key. It happens on a livebox ( orange box )... but if i press the button to show the wifi network - it has to be made when you connect a device for the first time on this box - then it connects to the network... else it tells me that the network is out of range...
So does the wifi on hero has problem with masked SSID ? To compare i never had this problem - on the same box - with the touch diamond and the touch hd... and at home, not masking the ssid, the connection is ok without doing anything.
Ciao

I had the same problem with a Zyxel 660 router. I was able to connect to the wifi (WPA/PSK enable) but there was no data transfer possible.
So I updated the Radio ROM to the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 version and it solved the problem.
Grettings everyone, I have been facing an issue for quite sometime now regarding my S3 and my wireless N-Extender (Cisco RE1000), whenever I'm connected to my router i get full speed internet and everything is fine, However when im connected to my extender I do get full signal but no internet, the extender works perfectly with my iPhone 4, but none of my android devices (S3,Acer iconia tab A501,Asus transformer TFT101), I tried using a static Ip address to no avail, and using Wifi fixer app didn't fix the problem either. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
Not working on any Android suggest contact Cisco/ or Cisco forums .

my ROM is Jellybam, 5.1
since yesterday i havnt been able to connect to WIFI or to my mobile network.
for example the wifi, it says that it has connected to my router, but i still can't surf the internet.
same thing with the mobile network, it shows on the top of the screen that im on "H+" or "3g" but i still can't access the internet.
I've never had such a problem..what to do?
thanks.

check the access point on your phone to see if is pointing to the apn for your provider. To check access point go to menu - settings - more settings - mobile networks - access point names.
On wifi check your router to see if it sees your phone. The router may need a static ip or the router version is out of date and doesn ot support the wifi of your phone.

already done it. my mobile network settings(APN) are fine.
and i even tried to connect to my friend's wifi and still nothing. it connects, but there is no signal and i cant use the internet.
try calling your provider, your account may need to be reset to get rid of the problem with the phone internet.
To check on wifi you may need to try another kernal as there mabe an issue with the wifi files in the kernal.
but how is it possible? i had this ROM for 3 weeks and never had a problem with my internet connection. and i havn't changed my kernel or my modem since i flashed the ROM.
and the internet access and the WIFI problem had started at the same time. so i assumed that there's just 1 problem that causes the wifi and the network problem.
internet and wifi are seperate problems it is a coincident that they both failed at the same time.
Wifi software issues are located in the kernal. Internet issues could also be kernal or firmware related. These issues could strike at any time without warning.
We know it is not a hardware issue as it connects, so it must be a software isuue.

Hey guys,
OK Ive got a strange problem with one of my Galaxy S3's!
It will not connect to some WIFI connections! It will say 'Obtaining IP address' then 'Failed to obtain IP address' and then loops itself doing the same thing over and over...?
I have two S3's and my other rooted device is fine. The one that has the problem is running a standard O2 4.3 rom (Un-rooted)
My rooted phone is also running 4.3.
Anyone experienced a similar problem? I have had this problem with 4 or 5 WIFI connections now, including my home one which is rather annoying! I have tried the obvious and rebooted my router, which hasn't helped!
Any advice welcomed!

I've had issues with the quality of my internet connection being checked, and then the connection being killed due to "slow internet connection", even on strong Wifi networks. Solution turned out to be to uncheck the automatic network switch in the advanced Wifi settings.

How so, when I have an identical phone sat right next to it with the same version of Android and that phone connects perfectly?
The only difference is one phone is rooted, the other is not (Both running 4.3, just different kernal number and build number)
Well wifi is a function of the kernel .
So far I'm loving this tablet (even without root) but have noticed that I lose internet access if I'm browsing for a long time. I still have full Wi-Fi signal (I'm only a couple of feet from my router) but no internet access until I disable and re-enable Wi-Fi. This has happened several times since getting the tablet last Friday. I have 3 other Android devices including an Xperia Z1 and none of those have a problem. It has happened on two different Wi-Fi networks so it is definitely not a router issue. I have tried disabling and enabling the options under Advanced Wi-Fi such as 'Scanning always available' and 'Wi-Fi optimisation' but none help.
There is a Wi-Fi Check app preloaded on the Z3TC and it shows it is failing on test 4 - Gateway/DNS. All of my other devices remain connected.
Anyone else noticed a similar problem? I know it is early days but would like to know if I should return it before I get too attached to it!

I noticed at the beginning also the same...I had some connection problems in the browser and had to reload the page.
Do you have LTE or Wifi Version? Mine is LTE.

Just the 16GB Wi-Fi only version. I did some tests on my work Wi-Fi (streaming music and browsing) and the connection was stable. I'll try static IP and a few other things and test again at home.
Cheers
Yep, I have the same problem.
Wifi connection is not stable. Sometimes I have to wait for few seconds for it to reconnect.
Mine is 16 gb Wifi version only.
Is this a software issue.? Wondering if I should return it.
Anyone found a solution?

Actually, I haven't the problem again since the first week. I'm thinking it may have been a router issue after all (I'm using a Virgin Media SuperHub 2). I've not had any disconnections issues since.
Have you tried the Wi-Fi Test app?
