Hi, is anyone has the same problem? When I'm connected at home to my Tenda router (WIFI b/g/n) after cca 30 min. my phone WIFI stops sending and recieving data, Skype is offline, etc... but WIFI in phone is stil switched on. After I switch WIFI off and back on (on my Samsung, not on my router), everything works good for a while and after cca 30 min. is situation the same. Is there in Samsung any WIFI sleep mode or something like that? Or some settings, which is not visible? Any other suggestions? Sorry for my poor English. Thanx in advance.
I'm having the same problem. But I did a factory reset and it works fine afterward.
And just few hours ago, I encountered this problem again. What did to get this error was, I pressed "on samsungapps" and it failed to update and thus results wifi connection stopping. What about you? Also my Kies air is not working.
are you guys sure you have wifi sleep policy set correctly? just to be sure, settings, wireless, wifi, menu button, advanced, wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Yes. And also even if i manually disconnect and reconnect the wifi back. The data still doesn't come in. It is stated there as connected but no data at all.
Somehow Wifi keeps searching every few seconds, even thought it's connected.
This is bound to cost in battery life too.
I have reseted router to default settings, disabled n mode, disabled security (only mac filtering is on), disabled all unnecessary features and PROBLEM IS SOLVED !!! Thanx God Tomorrow I will experiment with router settings to know, what was causing this error ;-)
Well at least u're connected, I'm facing the same problem as the thread starter. No data flow at all. Browser showing me offline msg. I had the same problem on the 1st day with the phone after I woke up. previously playing with most of the default aps. So i'm not sure what went wrong, did a factory reset and it works fine.
Until, few hours ago, I tried my kies air which didn't work. Browser couldnt load the address given. And I thought i had an outdated kies air, so i went to click on samsungapps, which failed to update me. At that point the wifi is still working, i leave my phone for about 30 mins, and when i came back. The same problem which happened on the 1st day came back. I was hoping to find an answer here so I didnt do the factory reset it. On another note, the phone wifi works after restart, but wouldn't last.
Edit: The wifi works after i resetted my modem to default. oh well. at least that solved it.

Hi,
Did you find out what setting was causing the connection issue? I also have this problem with my Tenda router. I thought it might be the wireless N, but disabling that doesn't fix it. I have a wireless distribution system set up with other tenda routers so didn't want to disable all the settings to troubleshoot if i can help it!
Thanks

I have the same problem, my router is N and the conection between SGS2 and my router is bad. Any idea?
Same problem here, I'm running WZR-AGL300NH in access point connected to my Ubuntu Server. Everything else works in the house just fine but SG2 stops transmitting data after a while.
I recently upgraded to KF1 firmware (and unknowingly wiped out whole phone, being on the bleeding edge and that didn't seem to help.
I would very much appreciate all tips because this problem is very annoying!
Additional Info:
- Buffalo is running latest firmware
- Authentication WPA2-PSK
- Encryption AES

Same symptoms here. Cisco DDR2200. WPA2 PSK. Haven't tried fiddling with the router yet.
This seems to be a common problem. Anyone knows of a definitive fix?
Bump...I have the same problem and the issue persists even after i reset the phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad I found this, thought it was the ROM I had flashed to the phone (which is VillainROM)
I keep losing connection from my phone via wifi like everyone else in this thread
edit: I've just assigned my phone an IP address via my routers settings and I can connect to the net again
Also when it wasn't working, I couldn't ping the phone. When I assigned the IP just now I still couldn't ping it.
When I did a tracert to it, I could get to it when the IP was assigned and when it wasn't.
I have no removed the assigned IP for the phone from the router. Wifi connection is still working after disconnecting/reconnecting wifi on the phone.
I can also now ping the phone, where as before it was getting timeouts.
Also when it wasn't working the first time when I did a tracert it was showing up as HPsomething (didn't make note of the numbers)
this time when it is working it's just showing up as the IP address when doing a tracert.
Another update:
Just checked my printer, it has an IP address manually set on it, which at one stage when the phone wasn't working for internet it had the same IP as the printer, hence when tracert'ing it I was going to the printer instead of the phone and getting the HP etc back.
When it wasn't working at that time and looking at my routers DHCP list, it had the MAC Address of the phone against the IP that the printer has....
So I've got some issues with how my own network is setup ^_^ which looks like is causing me grief.
So the issue is with DHCP? Setting a static IP fixes it? I'll have to try, but I doubt this is a problem with the network, as all my other devices use DHCP without this problem.
I have the exact same problem!!
It's really annoying.
i was having problems with wifi too.. it keeps scanning and checking, etc, signal dropping for no reason..
fixed mine..well for me it worked
backup ur phone ( i dont take responsibility if ur phone catches fire or dies or chases u around )
u need to be rooted
download FXR WiFi fix and rescue from market
and just run the app.
now my wifi signal stays constant speed and i get good speeds
alternatively try
WiFi Fixer
both of them will cause high battery usage..i think since it keeps the signal at maximum.. so only enable wireless when i need it or use juice defender or green power.
greenpower seems great. using this at the moment
Anyone NT (rooted) experiencing wireless disconnect every 12 hrs to 24 hrs
The wireless signal bar may still shows good connection but unable open any website or any network activity
Try disabled wireless but getting unable turn off wireless or failed to turn off wireless
Need to power cycle NT to make wireless back to function then will work for about 12 hrs to 24 hrs
More than 5 devices connect to this Dlink wireless router (802.11N 2.4GHz WPA2-PSK Channel 11) and none of them disconnect from wireless.
As I can remember this NT doesn't experienced this issue before I rooted the device (may caused by other application but not sure)
I have not experienced your issue directly, but I did have to return my original NT to BN because it would not read any micro SD cards. When I took it back to the store (restored to factory) they could not get it to connect to the wifi there and exchanged it out for a new one. I know that doesn't answer your question directly - just trying to say that it could be defective hardware.
Since you're rooted, I would suggested updating the WPA_supplicant file (which will also give you access to adhoc networks) as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370955&highlight=adhoc
If that doesn't work I would say try backing up and then restoring to factory to see if that fixes the problem.
I go ahead restore to factory default first then monitoring for couple days. If no error found I root again.
I noticed that problem recently. It just recently started doing what you said. My mother also says she has problems on hers as well.
Both of ours are rooted. I am going to factory restore mine and see what happens.
Hi apart from a minor WiFI router incompatibility issue that I had with my Netgear WiFi router...never had any problem...
Merry Xmas everyone!!!
Hello everyone,
I'm a longtime lurker of XDA ever since I switched from my Palm Pre (RIP) to an HTC Evo 3D. I created an account finally to post this question and I'm hoping someone can help because I am at the end of my rope.
My Nexus 9 has a wifi issue that cripples my entire network. First, I'll give you the details of my configuration and the problems I'm running into:
Running an ASUS RT-AC66R on Centurylink DSL. I have tried both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. I have tried multiple channels per band with no effect on the issues listed below. The 5GHz band is currently disabled.
Unless I am am running the factory image that came with the N9, my wifi connection will almost completely dry up across every device on the network when the N9 is connected. As far as I know, this only happens on my home network.
Restoring the N9 to factory settings - which I have now done twice since purchasing it on Nov 3 - eliminates this problem almost entirely until I install the OTA update. This problem happened with both the day one patch and persists in the recent update to 5.0.1.
If I am playing my PS4 or streaming Netflix (or anything that requires a connection), I notice the connection speed rapidly drops to somewhere in the range of 0-5 kb/s as soon as my N9 connects to the network. When I deactivate the N9's wifi, the connection returns to normal speed immediately.
I am still connected to the network when speeds are low, but data crawls. I am able to connect to the router's config page and can see that traffic caps out at about 5kb/s down and 60 kb/s up.
Here are some of the fixes I've attempted, which all failed to produce results:
resetting the router
resetting my modem
disconnecting all other devices
switching channels on the 2.4 and 5GHz bands manually
updating the firmware of the router
changing the network name
changing the network password
changing the network security type
I am typing this after having reset my N9 to factory settings for the second time to confirm that the issue lies within one of the firmware updates. Can someone please help a networking noob figure out how the connection of one device quickly (within 15 seconds) halts all traffic?
I should mention that the exact same issue was present on my N5 earlier this year (long before Lollipop arrived) but that it eventually worked itself out and stopped hijacking my network. Unfortunately without mobile data on my N9, it is essentially useless until I figure out the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
The first thing that came to mind is an ip conflict. Have you tried changing to a static ip on your nexus 9?
Edit: Also when your nexus 9 is connected check and make sure the ip address on your other devices jives w/ you router (you may need to make all devices static until you find the problem) I had the same router as you and i had a network switch that was throwing odd ip address to devices not even attached to it...
I updated to 5.0.1 again and didn't have any issues this time around. I went ahead and set a static IP anyways but I'll report back here if I have any issues. Thank you!
been using same router and internet (bt homehub 6) for past year nothing changed,
phone has been okay recently no recent factory resets etc
phone has been fine on home wireless network,,
been out today came home and router has been untampered
and phone will not work on wifi it connects but states
wifi sign in request authorisation
i can login to my router still so phone is connected,
ive factory resetmy router , problem still persists, i dont want to factory reset my phone as its loads of hassle if its a simple fix
My phone will connect fine to my wifi but then within a few minutes just die out and anything I try to load just times out. Toggling airplane mode just buys me another minute or so. I Googled around about it and Huawei phones in general seem very picky when it comes to wifi, I haven't tested it against other routers or bands but it sure doesn't like mine (and I have ten other devices that work perfectly). If you search about it you will find many people having the same issues, but no real fix.
I woke up this morning and noticed my wifi will not stay connected, I tried resetting my home network, also choose to forget saved networks, reset all connections, and even did a factory reset. Still wifi will not stay connected. Also tried on different network. I know Pixel 6 had a problem last year but I never experienced this until today. Any Help would be appreciated
Also wanted to say I am running stock firmware for T-Mobile. I did do a security update to see if that would fix wifi but it did not. Have not installed any new apps either.
Figured it out, It was the router after all. I have 1 router and 2 access points., named differently. I left and tried it on open wifi at coffee shop and everything worked. I went back home factory reset my router and put in new ssid and password. Now everything works . I never would have thought it would be router, because laptop and other devices had no problem with connecting.
