Frequent disconnections on wifi

Hi guys, not sure if its been brought up before, but my nexus one frequently disconnects from my home wifi, I don't know the exact intervals but once in a while when I check my phone, it'd be disconnected and when i look at the wifi settings, it would say connection unsuccessful and i would have to manually reconnect it. Seems like a major hassle to me, shouldn't be my router either as my laptops and other devices have no such problem.
Some facts:
Router DIR-625 (set on G and N)
Interestingly, my router reports my nexus one on 802.11 N band.. which is curious, I thought it wasn't enabled yet?
The signal strength is about 4 - 5 bars (only seperated by one wall)
Whenever I click on reconnect it reconnects without any problems
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem here?

change your WiFi sleep policy to never sleep. and also the nexus has a WiFi bug. check that setting first though, cause its on by default which I don't know why.

I remember having issues with my connection..I upgraded the router software, e voila...

I had similar problems with a DIR-655. I turned off MAC address filtering and updated the firmware (I was 3 years and about 6 iterations behind) and I haven't had anymore problems.
Edit: BTW, The N1 had flawless connectivity on all my other Wi-Fi routers (work, friend's house, etc) which happened to be Linksys

wifi issues on N4 possible fix?

for those with wifi 'broken' try to change your router settings to WPA2 personal (TKIP+AES) that seems to work for me now,
other settings 'broke' the wifi
this might be just an issue with must me and my router
*spoke too soon: still broken, it only works certain times, mostly it just spins when i try to connecto to online
the wifi icon keeps flashing a black dot... that means the wifi is NOT working right? it should be just a solid blue bars?
on wifi advanced settings, WPS Pin Entry - what is this and do i need to enter that pin on my router?

still no luck with wifi on my network after flashing back to stock 4.2 from 4.2.1
same 'broken' wifi
might be this phone's wifi hardware is incompatible with wDDRT router?
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std
my other wifi devices work perfectly fine, so im really stumped
in phones advance wifi settings it has this WPS entry - what is this and is it somehow not allowing me full wifi?
i can view playstore,, it checks and loads my gMail but it won't connect to websites
it takes so long to download and install apps from playstore, i have to hit cancel, redownload, reinstall to get it working,etc. its not 'instant' like normal 20Mbps wifi should be
ran speedtest.net app and it wont connect to any servers
if anyone has clues to why my wifi is broken, please PM me thanks
it get a blue 3 to 4 bars on wifi signal but it keeps having this 'black' dot flashing in that wifi signal bar, (what is that?)
shows connected to my wifi at 72Mbps at good strength

I found my solution: in my router I unchecked the option WMM (Wi-Fi-multimedia)-settings (2.4GHz b/g/n). After I activated it, my data speeds increased enormously. Try it & report!

Public wifi and my work wifi working perfect with n4. So it definitely my routers wddrt firmware issues with n4... still gottta figure it
Sent from my TC970 (Wi-Fi) using xda app-developers app

My n4 will not connect to any of the WPA2 AP's around here.

I have the opposite problem. I can connect to my WPA2 router at home just fine but cannot connect to the WEP wifi at work. Well, not reliably. I've gotten connected twice, but was unable to recreate the conditions.

I had speed problems with my 5GHz band at home. Connected, but couldn't get over 1Mbps on my 30+ connection. Connected to the 2.4Ghz band and I get significantly faster speeds. Haven't had problems connecting though.

I've noticed similar behavior, seems like my 5ghz signal strength is much weaker than my 2.4ghz signal according to my n4.

So this n4 is picky about. Certain WiFi networks.configs
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Sometimes, my N4 loses wifi connection at work. It's inconsistent. My work wifi is open but MAC filtered.
There have been 3-4 times when I noticed that it lost wifi connection. I had to turn off wifi radio and back on to reconnect.
OTOH, connection to home DD-WRT wifi router is rock solid.

Set lease time for as long as possible, it normally this is 2 weeks..

can you test to flash back CWM recovery and test again the wifi ?

Hello, I am also having problems with WIFI. I've tried a lot of things (change the router configuration, the cellular exchange kernel, etc ...) but I could not fix this problem. Can you give any more ideas? I've even thought about buying another router but can be giving the same problem.
I used my wife's phone as a router and it works normally, but when I connect directly to the router from home and he trasfere data only for a few moments and then transferring data, although still seem the symbol of wifi connected.

I found changing a setting on the Nexus 4 seems to have remedied most of my WiFi issues. Forcing the WiFi frequency band to 2.4GHz only instead of Auto appears to have done the trick for me.
In WiFi if you select Settings and Advanced under Wi-Fi frequency band there is an option to force 5GHz or 2.4GHz with the default on Auto.

Nexus 4 wifi disconnecting

my nexus 4 connects to wifi for a few seconds and is really slow then. the wifi colour turns grey and is not working should i return it or is there a fix ?

wifi is controlled by kernel, are you on stock kernel or what are you using?
is it your router thats causing the problem? try it on another wifi network.

If you're talking about the Wifi going grey and not being connected to Google services but otherwise the internet works, this is a known issue that Google has acknowledged
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065
In the comment sections, a Google engineer has made a few posts and it's clear this affects numerous devices, which would mean wait on a fix, don't return it.

for my wifi issue i checked my wifi channel. it is usually ch11 or ch6 on default so a wifi analizier for besy ch and do the right setting. works great for me. i hope it would help someone.

Worked for me when I changed the channel on my router from 6 to 5. Thank you.

Help
Im also having wifi issues. Works fine with my router at home and was the same with router in work but suddenly the other day it wouldnt connect in work, now it just says "authenticating" and never actually connects.
Have switched the phone on and off but it does nothing. Other phones are all working fine with router, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Nokia Lumia 920.
Im using AOKP Jb Mr1 Build 2 Rom and stock kernel and havent changed either before or after the fault.

Wi-fi disconnecting? Anyone having the same problems?

I've not yet received my OP5. I'm in China.
A lot of people here is having really severe wifi disconnection problems. No more wifi data but wifi is still connected, have to reconnet wifi to have data.
I cannot post link yet. But there are all kinds of report on the Chinese official OP forum.
I'm just wondering if any of you guys are having the same problems?
I'll test the phone once I receive it.

Yes another issue, it's done it twice on me in the last 1w hrs, the wifi icon completely disappeared as if it switched off, I'm noticing some worrying issues out the box.
That should have said last 12hrs.

For me the problem is different. WiFi continues on, it's like it's properly connected, however I can't access anything on the web. I have to disconnect WiFi, use mobile data, and connect WiFi again. Then it works for 2 minutes, and stops accessing any websites again...
So, the wifi only works for about two minutes. I quit and now I'm only using mobile data...
It happens with all access points and wifis I've tried.

Same problem here. WiFi connection is always on, but after 5 minutes after connecting there is no more data send.

Okay I'm glad I'm not just imagining it. I'm having the exact same problem. I thought it was my home network at first but good to know it's the phone. I wonder how long it's going to take for a fix?

Try turning off smart network switch in wifi settings, I had the issue, but when I turned that off I had no issues.

Thanks. Will try. I hope that solves it.

have you try?

Hi, I've had major problems within my 5 Ghz Wifi: The transfer rate was suuuper slow (0.15 kb/s and less) and after a while down to nothing.
But with switching to 2.4 Ghz everything works fine. So just go to wifi settings -> advanced and select 2.4 ghz only. That solves my problems for now. Hope a future update solves the 5 ghz issues.

I've had no problems with wifi on my OnePlus 5.

Having the same problem, disabled the "Smart WiFi-switch" in the advanced settings and hope it is fixed for now.

OnePlus haven't dispatched an update yet to fix this and other bugs...
Sad...

smart network is off but not work here.

i have the same problem with wifi. now i turned off smart wifi switch and i will try.
but i have the same problem with 4g. There is field, but i can't do anything, i can't surf on internet, like i haven't connections. Switch off data and turned on it and it work.
strange. very strange

same issue here. I've removed all files with 'cne' via recursive search in /system and commented out the entry in build.prop. seems to be a little better but still need some time to confirm

Latest update breaks 5 ghz wifi

So I finally figured this out - pre the latest update 5 ghz wifi on the Oneplus 6t worked flawlessly. Then the latest update came down (ironically over 5 ghx wifi) applied and rebooted and poof 5 ghz wifi no longer works. It connects, it gets ip, it can see the router everything looks normal but if i try to go anywhere on the internet - it tells me i am off line . 2.4 ghz wifi works just fine but the 5 ghz is broke. It took me a while to find this because I would auto switch to wifi at work and at home and didn't realize what was going on. Playstore would not download, app updates never came trhough. If I turned wifi off it all worked but then I am eating my data plan. Just an FYI to anyone having odd issues suddenly.

Weird. Mine still works fine on 5 GHz after 9.0.11 update (8/256 OP direct, totally stock unrooted).

On 5ghz as well. I've had no issues at all after any of the updates. On 9.0.11, unlocked/rooted.

No issues with mine on 9.0.11.

I have they same problem!

I have the same issue.
For those, who say it works, turn mobile data off and try to browse on wifi 5ghz...

Turned off mobile, still able to browse on wifi 5ghz.
Turned off mobile and wifi. Reconnected to wifi 5ghz. Still able to browse.
Turned on Airplane Mode. Reconnected to wifi 5ghz. Still able to browse.
Sorry. Can't reproduce issue.

For those that it works on 5 ghz - what band is your 5ghz on - if you check your wifi under network details see if it says 5 ghz or defaulting 2.4? (some people have combined wifi that will place you on what ever network is fastest) - also if you could show post your link speed (show on the Oneplus 6t under network details for wifi

Actually - I did a quick test and I could be incorrect. I set up a guest network with 5 ghz no password and got on it just fine and can pull 400 Mbs. My network password is complex so that might be what is causing the issues . I am going to experiment with a shorter password to see if that fixes it - but that would be a shame if that is the fix as it worked just fine before.

On tmobile, unlocked, flashed through twrp, no issue 5ghz as far as i can tell.

So I experimented more. Here are the results. No matter what I did to my internal wifi I could not get a connection on 5 Ghz. No issues on 2.4 with a long pw, a short pw- aes or tkip wpa or wpa2. But cannot, will not go anywhere on 5 ghz. Here is the odd thing. I can set up guest wifi on my router so I did. I set it up with no pw and boom, 2.4 g, 5 ghz1 and 5ghz2 - all of it. Then I turned on wpa/wpa2 and encryption (auto/aes/tkip) and set a password...and boom. Still working?? Exact same set up internal Wifi - nothing same issues. It's Bizarre. I turned off all the fancy settings for internal wifi like link sharing, fastest connection - I separeated them out to 2.4g/5G1/5g2 just like my guest and ...nothing. I can connect all day long but it just cannot get to anything on the internet. So for now I guess I am stuck using my guest network.

To the others who said they have the issue - what brand of router? - Mine is the TP-LINK AC5400

working fine here, verified that 5ghz is connected in settings

This sounds like it's a DCHP server issue with your router.

can't be - dhcp is band agnostic and it works - I get an ip address on 2.4 and 5 ghz just cannot get anywhere on 5ghz when using my home internal router set up - plus when I set up guest network on the same router I am just fine. And it worked just fine before the latest Oxygen update (that and I have about 18 devices on wifi all working just fine - including my oneplus 6 running the same Oxygen update - ) Has to be a bug of some kind.

Same problem here, oneplus 6T and Oxygen 9.0.11. I have this bug since update from 9.0.10 to 9.0.11.
I'm not on TMobile (see on reddit about oneplus_6t_update_breaks_google_play_certification), i'm in Italy with TIM operator.
I have problems with Fastweb Fastgate Router (Askey RTV1907VW), wifi 5ghz is connected but i can't browse, i can't do a speedtest from App on OnePlus 6T, etc.
But now in my office, i have a Vodafone 5GHz router, and i don't have any issue!
Could be a problem of the "channel" for 5Ghz wifi connection?
