Hi, I have my phone tether to computer (it does the same thing via wireless or USB cable). Periodically every 15-30 minutes teh connection drops. I am running windows 7.
The connection doesn't come back unless i turn the tethering off/on. While the connection is dropped on the computer I still get 3mbps on teh phone so there is no problem with signal.
Any ideas? its probably a setting somewhere on phone or computer..

Using my Tilt from AT&T I swapped out the stock ROM for the Sleuth v3 ROM and haven't had a problem since. Well until now. This morning I realized that the WiFi wasn't connected when I went to get a file from my email, normally it's just easier to do that rather than download it to my PC and transfer it. But when I went to activate the WiFi, the WiFi turned off immediately after establishing a connection to the router.
I know it's not the router, the PC I'm using right now is connected to it, as are 2 other PCs. I tried connecting to another wireless network, but the WiFi on the Tilt does the same thing - connect then deactivate.
I'm pretty much stuck and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
*edit* Sorry, forgot to mention that up until now I haven't had an issue with the wireless.
*edit2* Using the internet sharing, I'm suddenly now connected to the wireless network? Maybe I somehow blundered my way through... I'll experiment and keep this post updated.
my Trinity 3600i got same wifi issue as yours before. but It seems recover after I reflashed a new rom.
Ok so now I'm not really sure whats going on. From Comm manager, I click the WiFi button and it starts to connect. Once it does, the WiFi is disabled within 1-2 seconds of connecting.
I tried the Internet Sharing option with my Tilt hooked up to my PC and instead of connecting to the EDGE network, it connects to the wireless network. When I look at the comm manager screen again, the internet sharing is disabled, but the wifi is enabled.
Same thing is happening to me. I connect for a second, and then wireless lan disables itself. Using dutty's WM6.1 WWE with radio 1.58.26.20. I have another att tilt with the same problem (I unlocked it one earlier today). I'm going to try messing around with my router a little more.
Anyone got any ideas?
edit: apparently, if it's connected to your computer via usb, if you turn on wireless lan, it'll shut itself off. Then if you unplug the usb, it'll turn on. boy do I feel stupid.
ah haha, i totally forgot about the USB wifi thing, i usually dont let it connect when im connected to the computer so i forgot about this x.x very sorry i couldnt have helped about this ealier
I just hope this addresses your problem Elm0
Im using my g1 to tether my pc while my net is down, id like to play darkfall for some harvesting at least but the issue i have is losing connection after 5-10 min. it will start with 300-350 ping (fine for harvesting) then climb until disconnect after 5 + min, im using tmobile btw. are there any settings or something i can do?
So it doesn't matter what I'm doing, the connection will cease after a period of time and I have to reset my tether (usb checkbox) to get it working again. I'll try a different rom maybe?
For some reason within the past month my wifirouter software isn't working anymore. It says it's connected but when i try to connect my laptop it connect but has no internet signal. Does anyone know what is going on? Is sprint stopping me from tethering my laptop to my phone? Sometimes i will get "a remote connection has ended your session" message.
Has anyone else observed the following?
When I connect my new RAZR-i to my Windows7 laptop, my wireless session dies and I cannot connect anymore until I disconnect my RAZR-i.
If I am connected to the internet via a LANL line/cable, connecting my phone also kills the connection but after a few seconds I am connected again (w/o having to disconnect the RAZR-i).

I'm having quite similar wifi troubles with mine phone too and so far only happens with my university wi-fi haven't had the same problem anywhere else.
My problem is when ever i try to connect to the wifi at uni after I manually put my details to connect and when its saved the signal instantly drops down to nothing and my phone tries to connect forever.
It keeps saying connecting but when I forget the wifi network the wifi signal is jumps up back to perfect. My laptop and other android devices connect fine but with this phone as soon as i connect I lose wifi signal.
I don't have wifi at home but tried it with a friends wifi and it just connects fine.
maybe its because the razr gets recognized as a Network device? Had a similar problem while using a UMTS stick. always had to reboot my laptop to get a connection again with the UMTS stick.
How can I tell my laptop that the Razr isn't a network device?

In Win7 you connect your Razr and go to the Network settings where you see all your network adapters. There you have to right click on the razr modem and deactivate it. (Not 100% sure, can't test right now)

Worked! Thanks!
I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.
