Got a 32GB version.
All my other devices, windows laptops, android tablet connect up to my wifi fine. I am using WPA with AES (static IP). The HP Touchpad connects, but there is huge packet loss and it barely can keep a connection. It doesn't drop out per se, just cant get any data. Tried changing router settings, being 30cm from it etc. Still same problem. Any apps/tweaks i can try on the Touchpad?
Maybe it has something to do with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n with WPA, WPA2, WEP, 802.1X authentication;
maybe your router doesnt support it.
Just curious, are you running any of the Preware patches?
I am having a similar problem with my 16gb wifi model. Wifi works for a short while, then drops the signal. If I go in and turn off wifi on the device and turn it back on again - then it will work fine for another few minutes until it eventually drops the connection again.
I had this problem before I loaded any preware tweaks - and after as well. I am running the Govnah app to overclock to 1.5ghz and a few other logging tweaks.
I did some digging and it seems the most likely issue is a problem with the firmware of my router (D-link DIR-655), specifically the wireless n protocol. I am going to try updating my router firmware and see if that helps out.
By the way - no issues with my two laptops, dell streak 7, or my wii - so its definately isolated to be an issue specific to my touchpad/router combination...
I too am having problem. I don't drop the wireless connection, just a internet connection. All of a sudden nothing on my touchpad can connect to the internet, until I turn the wireless off and then back on again. Very weird. Everything else working off of my Dlink DGL-4500 works fine, except the touchpad.
I notice a few of you have Drinks, maybe thats the cause?
I'm running on FIOS and using Verizon's provided router. Works flawlessly. I've had one issue w/ WiFi, but a reboot solved that and has never come back.
I had problems with my dlink 615. TP would lose connection after 20 minutes or so. My wife's would do the same. My evo 4g had the same problem. I changed the router to the G only setting. I haven't had any problems with either TP since that change. The 615 uses draft N and was one of the early routers with this. I think it causes problems with some devices. I haven't really lost any speed either as the 615 will only connect at the speed of the "slowest" wireless card on the network, and I have some devices at g speed that are always on. I do plan to get a new router at some point.

See my Touchpad is the ONLY device having problems, that's the part I don't get. All of my devices are wireless N as well.
TouchPad WiFi issues
Okay, I've tried every custom kernel available with almost the same results. I'm beginning to think my unit is defective, but I am hoping it is the custom kernels and not my unit. I haven't tried restoring the stock kernel but I suppose I should have before writing this. Anyway..onto the issue!
Does anyone have this problem where WiFi will randomly stop transmitting data? It happens most when I am browsing the web with the stock browser and almost all the time it is after the unit awakes from sleep. Sometimes it happens while browsing but the majority of the time it happens when coming out of sleep. WiFi is still on and connected to my network, but network activity is not there. The only way to fix it is by doing one of the following:
-Turn off and on WiFi
-Launch the HP software catalog.
The second method one seems to give the network a jump start and WiFi will begin working again and data will transmit.
Freeza I think that's a common slug, I read some other posts about it. Heck mine was doing it a lot, but not so much lately. I don't think you have defective device.

I have this issue too, on two Touchpads on the same wifi network (mine and my wife's). The issue vanishes on my portable wifi 4G hotspot and my much better office wifi network, so it's probably my router. I've ordered a MUCH better router, and if that kills the problem, I'll know for sure within a week.
I hear this is a common, but situation-specific issue.
phew.... Was getting worried for a bit there. Thanks guys. Hopefully the next webOS update can fix it

I also have this problem. The wireless on the TP will stop working, even though it says it is connected. Disabling and re-enabling the wireless fixes it temporarily.
I also have an 802.11N wireless router. It is a Trendnet TEW-633GR. No other wireless device has ever had an issue with it, so I think the touchpad doesn't handle something properly...
So since updating my atrix 4g to av 2.3.6 b 4.5.141 update my home wifi connectionto the device has been turning on and off. I have narrowed it down to the router belkin g+ mimo just wanted to make others aware. Had no issue before this update.
Any info on why this has happened?
All other devices stay connected as usual.
The Radio that comes with 4.5.141 is 1.77.37P, which I am also running and has given me the same problem. My former radio (1.77.30P) that shipped with 4.5.91 did not have this issue for me.
I fixed it by doing the following:
Settings > Wireless & Network Settings > Wifi Settings
From there, hit the menu button and choose advanced.
Click the "WiFi Sleep Policy" and set it to Never
This will stop the wireless from shutting off when the screen is off. Hope it helps!
Did you power off/on both the router and phone? Always worth a try before spending too much time do other possible fixes .
If the sleep policy is already set to never and you're still experiencing the problem you could:
1) flash the older radio
2) debug the problem. Install the sendlog app in marketplace. Recreate the behavior a few times. Open sendLog and email it to yourself. Look at the sendlog output to see why your phone is dropping the connection (wifi auth errors, signal issues, etc).
My home wifi is an old WRT54GS with WPA2 PSK and I've had no problems. Work is a 802.1x EAP. The other day I was at a coffee shop that had WPA2 and my Atrix was having some issues authenticating with the wifi router. After a few tries the phone finally connected. Not sure if that's the same problem you're experiencing.
Thanks I tried that.
What is happening is the connection just drops ff while on web or youtube ect.
It disconnects for a sec then reconnects. does this randomly. Even with the setting to never still randomly disconnects and reconnects.
Like I said no other wireless device does this and the atrix just started after the update.
may have to change routers hope not.
Will try the log app and post the results later.
Why change your router when it's the phone that has the problem? You need to address the root cause, not try and bandaid it.
Any possibility you can flash the 36P radio and try that? (Need to unlock your bootloader though).
Could also try a hard reset (30/30/30) of your router. This will load back all defaults, and sometimes clears up connection issues if you have them, but since this started with the update, it shouldn't be that.
I dug out my old netgear. atrix hasnt dropped connection once.
Something here conflicting with the belkin making the atrix drop it.
Tried the log file. Lol 1.2 mb of confusion.
Thanks everyone.
Maybe get belkin to send me a new router.
Just for testing purposes can you try connecting to the belkin with no WEP/WPA/WPA2/whatever enabled?
btw don't post sendlog output. log could contain sensitive information .
Its a known issue on Belkin routers and the 2.3.6 gingerbread update. Something to do with DHCP Lease renewal. Try this
Go in to router settings
Select LAN Settings
Change Lease time from forever to 2 days
Reboot router and phone
This fixed the problem for me

I resolved the problem. Belkin rep explained to me that I need the N band.
I was using G the new update for the atrix updated the radio. My router was old and the firmware is outdated. Sounds like bs to me. Anyway bought a linksys today. Problem solved.
I was impatient. Will try changing the date just for giggles. For now Im surfing xda.
Edit: changing the lease time did not resolve the issue for me. The new router is working perfectly.
we have a Belkin 750DB, and a Netgear WNDR3300 and are experiencing the same issues on the belkin, but not the netgear. I haven't had a chance to try the difference between N and G on the belkin. We haven't found a resolution yet, the router is only a few months old, and costs way too much to change out... any else solved this really yet? besides falling back to the 36P radio?
I run a Netgear on G and another Netgear on N at home, and have no problems with either router with any radio. My network printer runs off the G network, so I switch the Atrix to that if I need to print, otherwise my Atrix connects to the N router.
(Split the G and N so I can run N devices only on one and maintain highest transfer speeds).
I think the sales guy was talking BS. Atrix works fine on either band.
..
Just a update on this...
I have tested Netgear, and Linksys routers
Both have performed flawless
It is only on the Belkin router that the issue occurs at least for me.
So it must be some conflict with the new radio and Belkin.
If anyone has had luck with Belkin please let me know your settings.
I think it's somewhere in the router settings, but my wrt54g at home with dd-wrt can connect just fine with my Epic 4G Touch running Cyanogen 9 (or any other ICS rom for that matter). The one we have at work (also wrt54g running dd-wrt) won't. I'll reference this thread here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=667631
I've changed the "no acknowledgement" setting, changed security modes, disabled the SPI firewall, and even tried factory defaults. But it just doesn't want to connect for some reason, however when I use a gingerbread rom it will connect just fine.
So my question is, if anyone has found a solution as to why ICS phones don't like connecting to DD-WRT routers.
Widespread issue
I don't know if it's any consulation but this issue seems to be affecting a lot of people. << link to thread on sprint's site but I'm new to this forum so can't post it >>. No one on that site mentions dd-wrt but that doesn't mean it isn't a dd-wrt specific issue.
I am also expericing what I think is the same problem. I am using the Sprint Nexus S 4G connecting to my linksys wrt320n router with dd-wrt build 18946M (I upgraded from 14700(ish) to see if that resolved my issue but it didn't).
The issue seems slightly more complicated than a simple inability to connect. Before upgrading to ICS (in stock ginger bread), a few days ago, I would occasionally see my phone attempting to connect to my router and failing. Now with ICS, my device connects, gets an IP address and the router wifi status page shows the device as connected with good signal strength, but alas, there seems to be no network connectivity.
I decided to try CryogenMod 9 and see if the issue was resolved in their build. So I flashed the lastet (update-cm-9-20120411-NIGHTLY-crespo4g-signed.zip) cm9 mod and still experience the same issue.
Any help anyone could provide on this issue would be swell.
Confirmed it is DD-WRT
I came across this thread immediately after upgrading my router from stock to DD-WRT. Immediately the wifi on my phone stopped working. My phone, Nexus S 4g will not even see the network. Conveniently my neighbor has the same router as I do, a Cisco e3000 with a factory rom. I can connect to his network without any problem. Ugh. I love DD-WRT. Maybe I'll try a Tomato firmware... Well at least all my other phones/tablets work. It is specific to the Nexus S 4g.
UPDATE: I believe it is tied to the mixed network mode on my 802.11n router. I tried my old 54G in G only mode and it is working fine with my phone

Confirmed. I changed the wireless mode to 2.4Ghz N only and everything works. Mixed Network mode was giving the Nexus S fits.
I just *successfully* got my MotoE/Android5.1 working on DD-WRT after 2 days down (problem started w/new version of DD-WRT on a repeater)
MY WORKING SOLUTION: Turned of "auto" on the channel selection of my 2.4Ghz channel on both primary and repeater routers, turned control channel to 20 on the primary (where the DDWRT offerred a choice) then restarted phone. It was probably something with auto channel on one or both of disparate routers.
Phew. Nasty glitch.
I was humming along for 2 weeks stock and then 4 weeks with CM7 and everything was going great. I started having issues with my old router(WRT54G) so I took the opportunity to get a N router. I purchased a D-Link DIR-655. My phone doesn't seem to get along with encryption for this router. I can't connect to my router unless the network is open and then it works great. I have tried setting up the security as auto(WPA/WPA2), only WPA, and only WPA2 and I can't connect to any of them. The phone sees the router and tries to connect. Then under the ssid it says disconnected and then disabled. I'd rather not leave my wifi unsecured(although ssid is invisible). Any ideas on what I can try?
Yeah I had this problem before, if your router is dual band (2.5 ghz- 5 GHZ) some phones wont connect. Make sure your router is on 2.5 ghz, secure with WPA/WPA2 PSK. You might have to reboot the router and the modem a few times by unplugging it.

It is a single band router. I have tried rebooting it several times both through the browser and unplugging. Why would it connect to the network when open, but not when secured?
I am using Verizon GS4.
Actually, I go to Columbia, but my GS4 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately the wifi that Columbia provides.
Other devices have no such problem, and my GS4 does not have the same problem with other wifi networks.
I searched for relevant information on google so much, but nothing worked.
Could you guys help me identify what causes the problem and solve it?
Thank you.

Well, for starters you'll need to provide more information, such as
is this a dev edition or regular verizon phone?
are you running a custom ROM and/or kernel?
can you use other wifi networks?
I've never had any issues with mine.
Mine is just a regular verizon phone and I don't root it.
With other wifi networks, there are no such problem.
Columbia provides two wifi networks: one is unsecured, the other is secured.
But, both of them have the same disconnecting and reconnecting problem.
Actually, I even got replacement from Verizon, but the replacement one also has the same problem.
Of course I did the factory reset, which did not work.

Sounds like some compatibility issue with the access points AFAIK. I know there were some initial issues with some DLink consumer routers but this would be something new. You might want to see if you can find any information on the access points and report to Verizon/Samsung. For that matter you might report the issue to folks at Columbia and they might be of help.
That said, perhaps someone else has seen this and will chip in.
You are probably connected with DHCP. Sometimes I have found it useful to go into advanced options, and then click on "static". You should then see your IP address that DHCP has automatically assigned you. Try changing it and connecting. For example, if your IP is 192.168.0.7, try changing it to 192.168.0.45 or a number higher up.
Some of the routers have issues automatically assigning IP's. And with all of the connecting/reconnecting, the lower IP addresses can have issues. Assigning yourself an IP address that is out of the normal range that most connect in, can sometime help. My router at work does the same thing. So I set it up with an IP that was way out of range. 192.168.0.210. The DHCP service the router offers rarely assigns addresses in that range.
Also, sometime others will have done this already and assigned themselves a static IP in the low range. And sometimes the router will give seniority to someone connecting statically or that already has an IP or MAC that is filtered either on purpose or accidentally from an old configuration or user.
There are many scenarios. Including device fault. There could also be issues with the two routers or single router that is emitting both a secure and insecure connection.
Try the static IP address first, then report back.

It's likely to do with the WiFi Multimedia or equivalent in your router. It is especially prevalent in the Dlink DIR-655 and DIR-855 routers. If you have an "N" rated router (everyone should have) if you uncheck WMM (WiFi Multimedia) in your advanced router settings and reboot your router, you should not have any more constant connects or disconnects.
Sammy blames the hardware manufactures and the manufactures blames Sammy with each others firmware as the problem. I was using a DIR-655 router until i just updated mine last week to a Linksys EA4500 (N900) and no problems at all.
Just so you know, unchecking WMM means you force the router to basically run at "G" speeds instead of "N" speeds. WMM was a workaround compatibility fix during the time when "N" speeds were still in draft status, not official. New routers still use WMM but its all stable and new routers shouldn't have the same issues with the GS4.
90% of the time this is the exact issue people have with the constant disconnects with the GS4 with their routers. The fact it is at a university means you likely won't be able to fix it. You can try seeing if they can test this theory at their IT department but I have no clue if they will do it.
solved
I just set "Static IP" in the advanced option without changing IP address.
But, this solved my problem, thank you for your help especially h311sdr0id.
