The slow wifi connection problems still happens to me, both on cm7.0.0 and 7.0.2 .
I have tried my device on network with different security settings (open/tkip/aes), also tried in different network area (home, office, college campus, cafe) the performance are similar: slow wifi connection, periodically hangs or drops off.
I have searched in both xda and other sites, unfortunately, no solution found...
Can anyone post some fix for this or let the dev know about this?
Thanks

After connecting to 3 different wireless connections and none of then working, I'm concluded that my wifi isn't working.
I go to settings and check wifi on, it finds the network, connects, but I lose my entire data connection for the duration wifi is turned on!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
I'm having the same issues with the wifi. I downloaded wifi analyzer to make sure I was on a good channel. Set it to the best channel and my signal strength is 100%. I will be able to connect for a little bit but for some reason it goes in and out, connection unsuccessful, yada yada yada. I messed with all the troubleshooting solutions for my router (dgl-4300) but nothing works. If anyone can reply with a fix or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
Same Issues
Any help is greatly appreciated. Data working fine when on 3G but Wifi = no data. Connection is fine, IP is fine.
UPDATE: It's working again on my home WIFI. Will have to see if it's just an "at work" issue. Hopefully IT can assist.
Same problem with Verizon MiFi
I have had ZERO problems connecting to the Linksys access points we have setup at my home and my office, but recently my work provided me with a Verizon MiFi (as well as an iPad - don't hate ) and I've had MANY issues trying to get my Vibrant to consistently connect to the MiFi.
My iPad, Motorola Droid, and Laptop have no issues connecting to the MiFi.
On my Vibrant I'm running the 2.1 stock ROM with root & the latest ClockWork recovery.
It will "connect" to the MiFi (I use quotes because I can't really tell - it AT LEAST receives an IP). But I'm unable to send and receive data. I can't even browse to the MiFi's internal configuration page .
To FINALLY get it to connect consistently I have to do some kind of random combo toggling the wifi off and back on and then turning the MiFi off and back on and it will EVENTUALLY connect and stay connected with data flowing freely.
I've customized my configuration a little bit on the MiFi so I'm going to reset it back to factory and not change the config to see if it makes a difference - because at lunch I was able to connect to my boss' MiFi with no problem. I'm thinking it may either be the phone or the mifi...
I've connected to about 10 different wireless networks with NO issues, at all. The connectivity is actually much better than my G1/Nexus.
HOWEVER, last night at a bar I was connected to their wifi, strong signal, but I was not able to use Data. I was in a very poor reception area for T-Mobile... don't think that could be an issue, bit the other places I use wi-fi that is not the case.
I just chalked it up as a fluke and moved on. Not sure what was wrong.
I had this happen to me today. I just rebooted and it went away. Toggling wifi didn't help, but I only tried it once. The phone reboots so quick I figured I'd give it a try.
I have set the phone up manually with static ip. Seems like its a problem with the dhcp.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but having searched I can't find anything that helps.
I have upgraded my G1 to run on Android 2.2 via all the links and information on here, but seem to be haing some trouble with Wifi.
The G1 finds and connects to my wireless access point no problem, I can then browse the Android Market on the phone but after about 1-2 minutes I get a message saying "A network error has occurred", I click retry repeatedly and sometimes after a few attempts I get it to load the page I want. I also experience the same when browsing the web on the G1.
I have tried manually creating the wifi connection but still no improvement. I have changed the channel of my access point but again still no improvement.
I have tried disabling Wifi on the G1 and using my mobile internet connection from my 3G network and this works fine.
Here are some details from my G1
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version 2.6.35.99-cyanogenmod shade(atsign) toxygene #2
Mod version CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
Build number FRG83
Any helpwill be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Gavin
Still no joy!!
Still hoping for some help, in the meantime I have updated the radio to 2.22.23.02 but still I am experiencing the same problem.
Help!
I have the exact same problem on my HD2. 3G and internet pass-through work fine, but when I'm on WiFi I get the network error messages. I have tried different WiFi networks, several Rom, radio, Kernel combinations and I still get the same errors. I even tried reverting back to the original T-Mobile Windows Rom. While I can't get the same errors, many web pages didn't load while browsing. In general I got the feeling that the rate of non-loading pages was similar to that of the network error pop-ups that I experienced while using Android. At this point I'm suspecting that I have a hardware problem. I tried opening up the phone and messing with the WiFi antenna connections, but nothing I did made any difference. I'm still looking for a solution, but no one has really addressed this exact problem.
While this may not be helpful to your specific problem I hope it makes you feel better that you are not alone.
What wifi do you run on? b/g/n ? That may also affect your connectivity.
It sounds more like a modem/access point problem to me...not phone.
Could be wifi interference from a cordless phone etc. Also, check you are using 20mhz bandwidth on your wifi access point. Some access points allow setting it to 40mhz which can really cause problems.
Can you try wifi access from a friends house that is known reliable and see if there is any improvement?
I too have this issue
I have jumped through all the hoops to get my T-mobile G1 rooted, updated
(2.6.35.10-TheOfficial-pershoot-DreamSapphire-2708)
and it works great with my voice only sim from AT&T...except that the wifi just doesn't work right. It connected for about 20 minutes, and since then everything I try to do fails after a loooooooong pause "Network Error"
Is there anyone who has any idea what this can be?
Im having some problems with the wi-fi connection. When it first conects, everything goes ok, but when I start to download anything, the connection just stops responding, even tough it looks like conected. What should I do?
I'm having the same problem and couldn't find the solution, did any solve the problem?
Wifi problem on MS2
After months of researching and suffering the pain I still have not got a full solution for my MS2. My wifi problem is that it connects well, great wifi speed on my home network. But after a couple of minutes there's no more internet access even though it shows that its connected. I chanced upon this link laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/motorola-droid-2.aspx?page=4 where it had the same problem brought up. It had a solution/fix which I do not want to use though. Further information can be found on the droidforums link on that page. What I have been doing all along is the same as what the guys at laptopmag has been doing, just reconnect whenever internet is down. Irritating yeah, but don't really have any other option..
Hope someone does have a proper solution :X
In addition to the sporadic troubles loading some sites with Flash elements, we had a much more persistent problem maintaining Wi-Fi connectivity. On three different routers, the Droid 2 would connect and then, after a few minutes, would continue reporting that it was connected but stop downloading data. The solution to the problem, once you notice it, is to disconnect from the router then reconnect, but that is a huge hassle.
Our original Droid experienced the same Wi-Fi problem so many times that we eventually gave up and resolved to use 3G only. However, after searching through several Droid forums and finding dozens of posts from other users who experienced the same problem on first-gen Droids and Droid Xs, we found a possible solution that seems to have worked with the Droid 2. After we changed the settings on our 802.11n router from mixed mode to 802.11g only, we did not experience the problem again, though we had to operate all of our computers on the slower 802.11g speed, which is unacceptable.

I installed the BlurLess GB rom and the problem is now gone.
Btw, my router @ home is G only, so the solution posted did not apply for me.
Upon searching the web it seems like many other people are experiencing the same kind of bug where the wifi drops and even says it low signal when you know for a fact its full signal. I have a e3000 fairly old router but good, sitting right next to it and i get these messages with the note 3 about the wifi being unstable. Some people said to uncheck the auto switch to 4g in the advanced wifi settings but that doesnt fix it either. Anyone else having the same problems?
Looking under my WiFi setting and I don't have an ADVANCE line to go to. I only have 1 line that reads Notify me. I started getting 'Unstable Network today' and I'm not connecting currently.
Hi,
I have realized that my wifi connection drops down from more than 20 to only 1 Mbps with my lg g2. It happens with 2 routers and seems that if I reconnect the phone then I go back to more than 20 (and short later in goes down again). Any idea what can be?
No suggestions on this one? I tried the location services changes with no success. I would say it is some app causing issues, but no idea which one could be...

got exactly the same problem
switching wifi off an on solves the problem for 2 minutes or so. then it drops to 1mbps again. tried different routers.
I figured out that it only concerns internet traffic. LAN traffic remains at full speed.
WHO can help please? :cyclops:
hmmm. wonder if this is the same problem a lot nexus 5 owners have including me.. there's quite a big thread on it in n5 QA section
there's no fix but workaround solutions include running in 2g mode or turning off data when on WiFi and even making a script to do so automatically when entering WiFi areas.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/slow-wifi-n5-t2514501
thank you for that interesting link.
unfortunately the solution turning mobile data off didn't worked for me.
I also tried static IP instead of DHCP - no success.
one strange thing, as already mentioned: LAN traffic to my computer works perfectly with max speed. (copying files e.g.)
so, wifi works in principle. It's about internet traffic only.
but which kind of software/hardware is able to distinguish between internet- and local traffic?
