Hi,
When at home, on a verified Wifi connection (have no issues on a Note 3) i get constant disconnects from Wifi, and sometimes i have to manually connect back because LG V10 cannot connect on its own.
I tried:
- to increase the Wifi range, but that was not the answer.
- Factory resetting the phone, no change.
I am on the latest software version.
Does anyone have a fix for the WiFi issues?
Kind regards,
Daniel

I've searched the forums for a similar issue with no luck, if anyone knows of a thread with a matching problem please provide a link.
My problem is that whenever I connect to my home network via wifi, I'm able to connect/disconnect a maximum of 3 times before wifi stops working completely. On the forth try, the phone will detect the network, try to connect and instantly disconnect. The only way I've been able to get wifi working correctly again is by rebooting the router, which also restarts the '3 connection' cycle.
I'm using a Netgear DG834G v2 and currently running Wolfbreak's latest version of CM6.1.3 but I've had the same issue with every other rom, including the official SE firmware, which leads me to believe that it is a router issue and not the phone itself.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In your phone, go to WiFi settings and press options button, then select "advanced", in wifi suspension politics (or something like that) select NEVER, then download and install Blade Wifi Fix from the market (i don't know what exactly does but it will prevent WiFi disconnections and it really works), and you can try using (optional) this app to connect to WiFi, if the problem still persists i would rather think it's a router issue or something ._.
CescVicious, thanks for your help. I tried both of those apps but my wifi continues to disconnect. I'm leaning towards it being a router issue more than the phone and have posted the problem on the Netgear forums.
Thanks again.

Dear All ,
I have been suddenly encountering wifi connection issues with my S3.
It refuses to connect to any router unless i am very near to it.
There is no problem with reception as the phone can detect the wifi and has 3-4 bars
If i try connecting while far away from the router to a detected network, it just gets stuck on "connecting.."
If i connect while near the router and then walk away, remains connected but I have no internet access..
Things I have tried:
1-cycling wifi on/off , reboot phone, reboot gateway
2-turning off wifi power saver from service mode *#0011#
3-flashing a different non stock rom after doing a wipe/factory reset.
4-searched extensively for three days with no avail
If any encountered such a problem before and was able to solve it, your help is highly appreciated.

I haven't encountered this specific problem before, but I have had other problems with my S3 and WiFi. It turned out the problem was my router, which was in 5ghz mode. If you have a 5ghz router, try to switch it to 2.4ghz.
Something else you can try is to change your modem and/or kernel. Those 2 both have something to do with WiFi, so maybe it'll work.
Again, I haven't encountered your specific problem myself, these are just some suggestions.

I'm having the same problem for about 2 months now, it's driving me crazy, if anyone knows how to fix this please let us know! Thank you in advance.
AS the guy above you suggested try changing your modem and if that fails try a new kernel which should sort out the problems you are having. Or as he also suggested try your router and make sure it isnt in 5ghz mode only.
Try logging into your router's configuration and changing the wireless network channel from auto to a manual setting (e.g. 9 or 3). The only wifi problems I ever had with my S3 were (misconfigured) access points and routers.
Hi guys,
Looked for an answer on this forum, no luck....
Problem,
When connected to an Wifi N-router, my wifi works for an certan amount of time and than drops. Wifi says I have a full conncetion but all my apps say there is no internet. Manually set Wifi on and off works until the connection drops again.
The strange thing is that it is only on N-routers. When I put the mixed mode on, it works like a charm.
But the problem is, Wifi is so slow on mixed that it is no option for long term.
Also it looks like even some routers with mixed on, makes the wifi drop. On my ubee modem every mode drops the signal, on a older linksys modem mixed (b/g/n) works.
Solutions tried:
- Got a new phone, same problem
- Factory reset, same problem
- Disabling Wifi power saver or any battery saver, same problem
- Change Wifi direct name, no luck
- Try apps like wifi repair, or signal boost, no change
- Static Ip adress, did not work
- WPA, WPA2, WEP, no luck.
- disable sleep on my phone, no luck
- Reset the modem, even factory reset the modem, same problem
- Problem was still existing after Firmware update....
I think I tried almost everything. Do one of you have the solution?
Phone
Acer E700
Kitkat 4.4.2
Not rooted or anything...
Thanks so much!

The issue was driving me crazy since the update to KK 4.4.2. It was like disconnecting the Wifi but the Wifi was not disabled, just the Wifi icon turned grey instead of the green when you are actually connected. Well long story short, turn off your BLUETOOTH and it will not disconnect anymore from Wifi. It seems to be a 4.4.2 bug.
Yeah I know.. who would have thought that?
Anyways, this works for my Acer E700 for days now and I am pretty convinced it will keep on working. Before this I was losing the connection within half an hour (but when on the power adapter the Wifi wasnt dropped)
I have beed searching over the net for few weeks, but fail to found any solution.
I have a E5823 using 32.0.A.6.200 (non-rooted lollipop), the previous one is a D5833.
My home has only one wifi router which set to reboot at the early morning, to prevent the firmware crush due to usb IO error.
While using my z3c, my phone will reconnect to the wifi after router reboot. But when I switch to z5c, strange happens.
My z5c is able to see the SSID (which it should automatically connect to), but it cannot make any connection to it i.e. always showing connecting and still stay at mobile data. I have to manually switch off wifi and turn it on again for another connection. The problem can be reproduced by a manual reboot of my router...
Is it a bug about my z5c firmware?
I have the same problem. When I get out of my WiFi zone and came back, it won't auto reconnect unless i turn on my screen which is pretty annoying as I have VoIP for business usage.
Hi All,
I just received a replacement for my V10 that suddenly died and I'm now having Wi-Fi connection issues.
When I brought it home yesterday the phone was still on 5.1.1 but updated overnight to 6.0 both experienced the same issue.
I have not rooted my device yet but will in the near future.
I have 3 different access points in my home with different id for each.
I can connect to one of them but not the other two.
When I try to connect it I eventually get a WI-FI connection error, or the connection is labeled disabled, or the connection doesn't connect and just shows saved.
I have tried:
1) reset the router
2) changed the password
3) changed to an open connection e.g. no password
4) forgotten then connection on the phone
5) restarted phone
none of these have fixed my issue.
Anyone have similar issues?
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Thanks you all for reading my problem.

Just started having a similar issue yesterday. Stock MM, no root. Factory reset had no effect.
Maybe you can join my thread, I have problem with wifi also. You can check if we have same issue and may try my workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/help/wifi-mac-address-changes-reboot-h90120j-t3470140
I actually just noticed this on my phone yesterday. It seems to happen to me when the wifi signal is a bit weaker (but should still be able to connect). My wife's V10 didn't have an issue though. Haven't find a solution yet, but my wifi would also not find any connections after it would disconnect and have to rescan to locate any networks.

Have you tried to do factory reset?
