so i have this problem for about 3 months now,
so I'll explain the problem I am facing,
I'm connected to wifi unless I'm an inch close to the router, so if I go away, the connection will be disconnected, however, in my work, I am connected to an access point which has put a big smile to my face, but apparently when I went back home, I faced the problem again, and I guess I would be connected to that only access point, which is the first time I've seen since i got this problem, all the routers/modems I tried to connect was a failure(saved, secured) since my phone met this access point.
I already tried Factory Reset, Flashing custom modem, *#0011#, deleting data/misc/wifi, changing settings on router and many many more as I've put an hour of fixing this every single day. none of this works. for what I recall, all I did was download an GPS app(I don't remember what it is) and then poof, wifi is doomed.
I have my iPad and my laptop connected and there's no issue with them, only on this phone.
I'm running 4.3 btw,
does anyone know how to fix this problem? my brain hurts a lot and I don't know what to do. please help I'm dying, thank you

I don't know if it has been asked before but I've got a problem with the WiFi on my A101IT.
Problems:
Sometimes when I turn it on when it has been off it either goes into boot loop for no apparent reason OR just randomly freezes at the boot screen. When it doesn't act up and I finally get on and my home screen comes up and I look for my active Wifi signal.... it's not there?! When I go to try to manually connect to my Wifi in the Settings it gives me some b.s. "Error" reading! When I try to disconnect and reconnect my Wifi connection on my device it still continues to read "Turning on.... Error." Then, if I feel like messing with it, I'll go through about 5-10 tries of turning my A101IT off and back on to get my Wifi signal on my device to connect as it should.
Other side notes:
I have a Linksys WRTP54G VoIP router that is configured to Wireless G network. Never really had any device connection problems until a few weeks ago.... it just all-of-a-sudden started doing this on its own. I also bought my A101IT off eBay from someone who bought it as New and took very good care of it and only used it like 6 times in 1 month. Beside that, I never uninstalled/deleted any file/.apk I wasn't supposed to. (I say I never uninstalled/deleted anything because I have permanent root access via Chulri's Method for FW 2.3.20).
Any solutions?? Please help!
UPDATE: Archos' [email protected]$$ Customer Support representative said to "upgrade firmware and that should fix the problem." Assumptions, assumptions..... you know what they say?! Anyway, I really don't want to upgrade my FW to 2.3.26 due to known Wifi issues still occurring because as I have found... it seems to be that it is a similar hardware issue like Microsoft's Ring of Death for their XBOX 360 Base, Premium, Elite, AND Slim version gaming systems. I may be wrong but I believe it's a NIC issue where the NIC is not fully soldered on and/or the heat from the A101IT's battery cooks the connection of the NIC on the motherboard of the device to where it can only be turned on at random after about 6 months or more. That's my idea...
try to use Wifi manager to control the Wifi again. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.kman.WifiManager&hl=en
It solved my wifi problem on UrukDroid.
And if u want u can get an older version that has the widget to switch for free.
(Although as it's old it might have bugs that are fixed by now)
= your choice
Alright, let's see if anyone can make heads or tails of my problem.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 about 3 months ago. From the moment I first booted it, I've had issues with wifi. Ever since, I've searched the internet high and low for solutions to no avail and have finally resorted to making my own thread.
So, on stock rom (and with Wifi power save mode OFF), it detects networks just fine, but cannot connect to them. I disabled the password and any security barrier on my home router, and now it connects sometimes. But even when it does, it will only last about 10 to 15 seconds and then disconnect and won't reconnect anymore.
But then I installed cyanogenmod, which changed things up a bit. It will not detect a network unless I'm 2-3 meters in range of the access point, but it will connect and maintain the connection as long as I'm within 1 meter range. For some reason, I can't access Service Mode in CM in order to turn off WiFi power save mode.
Now I'm unsure what to do next. I wish my phone worked right. It's not much to ask I think. I can't send it back to warranty, because Triangle Away can't download the needed files, not even through mobile data (which works as intended I think but is very slow and very weak).
So what do you think, is it a hardware issue? Could I get a private store to fix it?
Any help is appreciated, thanks-
You have a hardware issue, try replacing the aerial module first then motherboard or a new phone.

So there's no chance to make use of the warranty? How much would a repair cost, more or less
So I have completely given up on my LG G5 for 5 months and today I decided to see if maybe I could get it updated to Nougat to see if it would fix the battery drain I was having. I couldn't get that far. Now the WiFi and Bluetooth say Connection not allowed and I can't connect to my home wifi of course. Well I decided to check the MAC Address to see whats going on. My current MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00. Something doesn't seem right about that.
My ideas that I have done:
4 Factory Resets
3 Airplane Mode Reboots
2 Safe Mode Attempts
1 Clearing of Cache
At this point I dont know what else to do. I really miss Android and I am currently using an iPhone 6S. I just want to get back to the roots where I belong on the Dark Side. Please someone help me with this issue, I even contacted LG support and they told me they can't do much about it. Same with AT&T they aren't helpful over the situation. This seems to be an issue a few people have had but I think it's time to get this issue fixed.
May the 4th be with you...
Hey Guys
I have some questions related to my 3 year old LG G3 (32gig Version), which acts funny within the last few weeks...
First of all, my phone is not rooted (I use Android 5) and I have installed a new battery like 3 months ago.
So now to the problems:
My Phone will only very rarely connect to any WiFi I normally use. Even if I try to manually connect and/or forget the network and reenter the codeword, it won't connect 9 from 10 times. It says connecting.... and then saved.
So normally, I then turn of and on WiFi on the Phone, reboot the router, reboot the phone and eventually it's going to work, but it may take 10 to 15 times.... Does anyone know, what might be the problem?
Next, if I reboot my phone, sometimes it will not recognize my Sim-Card, even though it's always inserted. Here too, I reboot my phone several times, untill it recognizes the card again. But if it does, it always changes my phone language from English to German (well, thats not a big issue for me, just wanted to list it aswell...)
And the last problem, which is also wlan related: For 2 weeks now, I'm no longer able to find the phone-hotspot on my Laptop. It worked without problem before, but now, I can't even find it in the Networks list from my Laptop.... I fear, that this might be related to my phone not connecting to WiFi Networks, alltough this works at least some times and my phone sees all the networks....
So what you think? Is there still hope for my phone or do I have to get a new one? Would be a shame, cause I really like it otherwise...
Thanks a lot for your help

same problem here.
Were you able to find a fix? Its a hardware issue, I think
Multiple times a day the wifi connection will drop out of nowhere. It won't reconnect on its own, but if I turn wifi off and then on again, the connection will be fine. So the connection/signal strength is fine. Also, I've had the phone for about a year and this only recently started. To add to that, I think there might have been a recent firmware update around the time this started, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Anyway, I've tried so many different solutions at this point, but nothing has worked, so I'm hoping someone here knows what's going on or what can be done to fix it.
