I have a WiFi signal named Linksys @ my work; without passwords just open service. My phone connects to this when I go to work.
I also have a WiFi at home also named Linksys which is not my WiFi but it's my neighbor's. It's not secured but I dont get any service when connected to this. I have a WiFi signal of my own.
Once in a while my phone will switch from my OWN WiFi signal to my neighbor's Linksys thinking it's a signal from my work.
When this happens, i lose all my connections.
Is there a way for me to fix this problem?

I can't seem to connect to wifi. The phone keeps cycling between connecting, Obtaining IP address and Disconnected.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?
Are you connecting to a WPA enabled router? I've had issues on my Droid with certain routers (D-Link for one)... If I switch the router to WEP, it will connect fine.
For a phone to not support WPA is pretty lame. I picked up the TB today but I am at work. Hopefully it will connect to my home wifi network, I will update you on my results!
Had a similar problem on one of my TBolts...power cycle resolved it.
I can log onto my WPA network with no issues. Maybe bad password?
Well, I do use WEP and it will not connect. I turned off WEP just to see and it connects fine when I leave the network open.

Mine seems to be working fine, just connected to home network - I don't get a wireless icon up in the notification bar, but it goes green on my toggle.
I am using SHOStock 3 3.0.2 on my i777.
I just changed my router (TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 with DD-WRT running) and strange thing began happening.
When I connect my phone to Wi-Fi everything works as usual, then after a while (maybe about an hour?) no connection to network at all.
WiFi signal is strong, has IP Address assigned, router sees the device. But, cannot ping in or out. No connection to network at all.
If I disconnect from WiFi and connect again, it works for a while, then same thing happens again.
No other WiFi device in my home is having that problem.
Any ideas what might be the cause, anything I can try?

I'd do a factory reset first to isolate whether it's your phone or your router causing the problem.
My Rezound has issues connecting to my WI-Fi network at work. It's an 802.11g network using WPA/WPA2 encryption. My Rezound seems to be the only device that I can't get to work on it. When I enter the password to the network, it does connect and obtain an IP. However, it then has no internet connectivity. It works fine on my WI-Fi at home though. Any ideas?
Also, I updated the firmware on my router also, and didn't help.
I seem to be getting the same sort of wifi issues as previously stated elsewhere in this forum. I cannot hold a wifi connection on the 2.4ghz band fro more than 20s before its dissociated (ie i still have full connection to the router (3 bars) but cannot get through to the internet). This happens no matter what router i am connected to, whether its at home or at work.
I have tried:
[*]Setting the Wifi optimization checkbox off. No difference
[*]Avoid poor connections is off. No difference.
[*]Stamina mode is off. No difference.
[*]Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to Always. No difference.
[*]Sleep timeout to 30mins. No difference.
[*]I have factory reset the phone. No difference.
[*]Repaired the phone firmware with PC Companion. No difference.
I have also check to see if it is my router at home. I have switched between every channel available which made no difference. Security is Wpa/Wpa2 PSK AES which makes no difference. I only have the 2.4ghz available on that router at home (same at work).
My Note 3 and HTC One connect to both routers with no problems at all and do not drop out. Same goes with Sony Vaio Laptop.
I have installed Wifi Fixer on my Z2 to see if it can alleviate the problem and it does somewhat. instead of manually having to turn on and off the wifi toggle to reestablish a connection, the Wifi Fixer does it for me.Approx. every 20-30s in its log it will show the phone "dissociating" from the router, and the the app tries to "reassociate" the connection.
I can connect through wifi transfer to my Note 3 without issue, and the same goes for my TV, so it cant be a hardware fault, as the connection is still excellent strength for both (as well as the router, tested with Wifi Analyzer). This is a very frustrating problem as it makes watching youtube movies impossible, and hotspotting, skype calls, etc.....
And dont even get me started on the bluetooth dropouts. I am disconnected from a bluetooth connection every 66-70s without fail no matter what i try. No issues with my Note 3 and HTC One in the exact same conditions. It will disconnect then reconnect straight away with a delay of about 3 seconds, which makes calls and listening to music a VERY unpleasant experience.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I love everything else on this phone but this wifi/bluetooth connection issue is making it unusable. :crying:
I am on the .55 baseband version if that helps anyone
Hello team,
My Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international version) started to have wifi problems after stock update to 4.1.2. After that, I´ve tried many software and hardware fixes, including changing the wifi antenna cable. The result was the same, so I decided to try custom ROMs and came straight to CM11.
The wifi signal is very weak, and I can only connect from a few meters from the router
Installed CM11, full wipe cache/data/dalvik and still the same problem, weak wifi, connection only from if close to the wireless router.
Reading all the forums on XDA and CyanogenMod, I found the wifi-fix patch, which writes "murata" on the /data/.cid.info. This fix brought me powerful wireless signal, and now I get full signal bar to my router and even see many neighbor APs... but I am not able to connect. When I try to connect, type de password and than it just goes back to "Saved, protected by WPA/WPA2". I´ve also disabled authentication on the wireless router, and the result is the same. It won't connect not even to open networks, although I see strong signal.
Deleted the wifi_fix patch (delete ¨91fixwifi¨ on init.d, delete ¨.cid.info¨ under /data and rebooting), and went back to old status: very weak wifi signal, but able to connect (associate) if I´m very close to the router.
Turned wifi on and off, airplane on and off, captured log on "Murata" and "Samsung" modes...
Strange is that my wlan mac address is 88:32:9b:xx:xx:xx, which seems to be Samsung, but the Murata brings me powerful signal (although I cannot connect).
Well, I´ve tried many solutions so far, but that´s how far I could go...
Can anyone provide me some clue to solve it? I would be very thankful to have wifi back to my phone.
Log files are in attachment
Murata log (strong wifi, not able to connect)
Samsung log (weak wifi, able to connect when very close to wireless router)
Thank you all!
I too have only a range of 3 metres, I have 7 routers in the house because of this, yet I have less than 15% coverage of the house with this device. To put that in perspective, an HTC One X and Atrix 2 has 90% coverage with 2 routers. I'm 1 metre from the router in my room and I've got 1 bar, sometimes 2 briefly.
[Edit]
Woah, I tried the fix from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/cm9-i9300-advice-t1898004/post41394293
Seeing as it can easily be reverted, it displays very high signal. What I'd expect. But it doesn't let me connect either. I also tried CM10.1 like the people who it worked for, it didn't work.
