[Q] Wifi stalls [Solved]

Pardon me if this is a repeat, but I've searched and found nothing.
I'm on Moto Defy/MB525, rooted, overclocked, CM7.
My issue is this....Wifi on my home network connects just fine, surfs just fine, until I connect andFtp to my Mac. Initially, everything is good...connects fine, ls- fine, allows selection of file on host and destination on client. The problem comes in between 2% & 5% transfer; wifi stalls, socket disconnects(Server kick out?), wifi becomes inactive for anything/everything. I can cycle the wifi and it 's functionality returns. Then I'm back at the start. Thought it was andFtp, but it works fine with my website, as does my Mac.
So I guess my question is....why would/should/could FTP cause the wifi to fail?
Thanks in advance

Not exactly the same as your issue but I see you use CM7 and thats the one ROM that I have had wifi issues with, do the problems occur when the screen goes to sleep ?The issue I have is that regardless of wifi sleep policy when the screen goes to sleep,although I am "connected" streaming radio starts to stutter,or transfer rates will crash,I know its not the same issue as the one you have but here is a link to bug report for CM 7
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4232

The motorola milestone was/is plagued by similar issues when using WPA2 with certain access points. I think it was related to buggy TI wifi drivers.
For milestone, this was recently fixed in kabaldans CM7 port.
Maybe the defy is using the same buggy drivers?

Thank you both for the answers.
Bombardier, sleep seems irrelevant, it does stutter and I am on wpa2, figure I'll try something different now, eh?
Nanzy, ill try the other rom you mentioned.
Thanks again.

This turns out to be the solution. Switching to WPA solved the entire issue. Thanks again for the insight.

WiFi on CM7 for Fire

I know the sound and video on CM7 is supposedly good now, but what about the Wifi issues, are they resolved? I recently rooted and was looking to install CM7, just wanted to make sure the WiFi was legit before I did so. Thanks.

I installed CM7 on my Fire a few hours ago and used it to do a lot via WiFi. My experience was pretty smooth, no specific issues at the moment.

WIFI works good.

Will Wifi on CM7 now connect thru Adhoc networks or are we still limited to Infrastructure networks? Thanks.

WiFi working well. I did have one problem though, and that was with it not turning WiFi on automatically if CM7 was rebooted. I had to search for airplane mode terminal command to fix it, but I don't recall what it was. Maybe someone else can post here just in case it's needed.

CM9 and iSyncr wifi

Does anyone use iSyncr (or Cheetah sync) with CM9?
I have CM7 on emmc and iSyncr is working fine. When I test CM9 from sd I cannot get iSyncr to work. It will fail to connect and wifi becomes inoperable. I have to toggle wifi off and back on before I can use it again.
I can replicate the failure by just installing iSyncr and the wifi add on to a clean install of CM9. I have tried this with 2 different Nook Colors, 2 different sd cards, several different CM9 builds. The iSyncr dev has no other reports of issues.
So, does anyone have this working, or am I the only one trying this? I may try installing CM9 to emmc to see if that would make a difference, but I would like to hear from someone who has it working first.

Any suggestions for wonky wifi?

Ok, I'm running the Mirage KANG of CM7 on my nook, and I've got a stock rooted ICS HTC Vivid running Faux's 007 kernel. Just recently installed the kernel, so that's my suspicious point, but I'm on the road so not much time to research.
Basically, I can wifi tether to my Vivid with laptop and with nook, but the connection keeps crapping out. Downloads on the nook will stall out. Sometimes I'll be unable to open pages for a bit there or on laptop.
Bonus variable, I'm sitting in an airport with a million wifi signals around me.
Even better? I'm on a locked down work laptop that encrypts any removable media or treats it as read only, so I can't really do any tinkering.
Any suggestions or thoughts?

If you are talking about the CM10.1 that just had the wifi fixed then this issue needs to be reported to the developer. The developer needs to fix this issue.

but how to report? I can't able to post any comment on Android development

I just read your first post more carefully.
The wifi was fixed by dzo. He fixed the wifi the same way he fixed wifi in Aurora ICS. Your wifi problem is also in Aurora.
The best you can do is to flash the ROM (v5 with wifi) again (do a clean install). If it still doesn't fix that problem, then tell me and I will report the problem to developer.
Thanks.

Okay, I went back to Aurora V5U21 and flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24412002&postcount=3379
the patched WLAN configuration. Everything seems work great except I set the WiFi always on but when screen off still WiFi will off, but everytime it off it will autoconnect itself without reopen the WiFi.
And also I installed a clean CM10.1 V5, and used like 1 or 2hour then the WiFi icon remain blue but without updown arrow then awhile become grey and won't auto reconnect anymore, just stay grey there until I reopen WiFi. Is not a big problem but sometimes I open WiFi wait for Whatsapp or other social apps. I don't know when it disconnect.

OK, I will report that for you to the developer.

Same here
I too experience wifi not comnnecting after sleep mode... and When connected to USB mode.. the transfer rate is around 170 kbps... Anyone hav this problem??

I have sent a message to the developer. Now, I am not sure if he will fix this problem or not. I think he will fix it because a lot of people on the development thread are talking about this issue as well.

Since we are talking about CM10.1 wifi issues, I'll state mine too.
I installed CM10.1 v7 on my U8800, everything looked ok, apart from the wifi. I could see all networks around me but the phone couldn't connect to anyone.
The same issue was present in aurora 5v20 but flashing the alt wpa supplicant fixes the problem.
I tried using the same file in CM10.1, the wifi connected but only my home's router was visible ( I should be able to see at least 5 more routers) I could not see nor connect to any other network.
Anyone know why does this happen?

I am currently on CM10.1 v9 and found out that if I enable wifi modes b + g on my router the phone connects. With g mode only no luck. I don't know if that helps you, but it is something.
