[Q] WiFi Killing my AP - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried MIUI and CM7 but both have issues with my Dlink router. The phone connects to the wifi network and it works for a while. Then the Wifi on the router just dies. No devices are able to connect to the router (wired connections still works). Rebooting the router fixes the issue, but crashes after a while again.
Last modem I tried was JVQ, still same issue on MIUI galnet 3.4
Any settings / tweaks that need to be used?

[Q] I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced set to NEVER off)

I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced settings set to NEVER off)
I just upgraded to a Virgin Media Superhub (WIFI and Cable modem built in)
I set the WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)"
is this causing the problem
I am trying "WPAPSK2 AES" today to see if it fixes it?
Me and my house mate have a galaxy S and both phones are doing it.
is it my WIFI router or is it the Galaxy S's at fault here
apologies if this has been covered, i did a search but wasn't sure what to search for about this.
Cheers
@anyone
I tried WIFI tether and WIFI fixer apps but no joy
I had a WIFI connection before with my Netgear router in WEP. The super hub is a netgear router, i cant understand whats causing the problems.
its just connecting and disconnecting .
when ui set it up from scratch sometimes it works until i go out of range, then goes the connect disconnect route...
Also I unplugged the modem and turned SSID on (it found it and stayed locked) and then SSID off (it appeared to keep connection) ...? is this a clue as to why it keeps connect disconnect?
Any help welcome cheers
i solved this but I dont know how
i set up both to
WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)
phone to wpa psk2
and then revealed the ssid in the modem. left it for a bit, then hid my SSID
it's worked properly for a few days now.
maybe it needed to do something to lock on?
....now if i could get my MMS working another story
I have the same problem... It's driving me crazy
all i know is this
get rid of juice defender if it's on
Turning The Virgin super hub on and off solves the problem temporarily.. faster than reboot the phone.
if your phone isn't rooted, don't enter the WIFI settings twice it can corrupt the wifi complexly needing a master reset!
also i set the Virgin hub to
WPA auto Broadcast SSID
also on Virgin Hub
settings
advanced settings
content filtering services
untick firewall and ip flood
i think broadcast SSID on your WIFI unit fixes it

Reflash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
are your setting for the phone and WIFI the same as the ones i posted above on the other posts?
I flashed CM7 and it works perfectly
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
give it a try...(you need to be rooted)
do you know your firmware version? i have the same problem. ive tested and the wifi sleep policy doesnt work at all!
my wifi reconnects every 59 seconds with sleep set to never. its the same with sleep set to never when plugged in. sleep when screen turns off doesnt work and is exactly the same, reconnects every 59 seconds and doesnt sleep at all. not as far as ive seen (watched for around a quarter of an hour before getting very bored). I dont know if this is anything to do with it but if you watch the WIFI scanning the Connection resets after every 10th scan. Im using a Belkin router but as said ive tried on several different WiFI connections and the drop out is always the same.
im using jvt firmware and semaphore kernel.
my phone was froyo before and wireless was fine before flashing.
ive spent a week on google with this. there are hundreds of threads and even vids on youtube. as yet though no fix.
ive changed router settings at home. with no improvement. the reconnection happens whenever im on wifi and i cant see mcdonalds letting me rummage through their router.
As far as i can figure the problem started in the jvs firmware. I havent tried jvs but there are a couple of google results saying that since updating to jvs wireless reconnects constantly.
same as above......
HELP!!!!!!!
Its driving me mad!
FIXED at home. Changed Belkin Routers Lease Time from "Forever" to "1 Hour". Guess outside connections will depend on what the Routers Lease times are set up as.
However the "Stop WiFi when screen turns off" still doesnt turn off Wifi at all (as far as I can see, as now tested for over an hour).

i have such a ****ty router and cant even set up the lease time
well im going back to jvr..
i believe they changed some wifi drivers in jvs and jvt and thats why some phones get this bug..

[Q] issue with darkrom 3.4

Hello
since installing 3.4 I have had issues with this rom however none so serious I jumped ship however I have problems with conecting to my home wifi which is causing pain...
I have set up wifi on my note as dhcp and my netgear router is also set to give ip address via dhcp however the note will only connect sometimes otherwise the message 'obtaing ip address' is shown then the connection drops to remembered and then Im back on 3G. I have tried various fixes including re-flashing the rom providing a static ip address. I have this issue with any dhcp network the note just will not connect all the time...

It happen even on stock to me mate.What I do is turn off wifi,go to browser and navigate to any site(yeah with wifi turned off still and data network off),when it gives you error turn on wifi and refresh the page.
I know its irritating but I have no solution and it works for me
still trying to find a solution to this. setting wifi sleep policy to Never seems to help I also deleted the dhcp_list file which forces the note to reconnect from scratch each time it connects to a known network rather than selecting it from the list. still not a full fix. seems to be a samsung thing rather than rom based. do the modem downloads available control the wifi functions or are they just for radio 3g etc as I will try a different modem to see if that helps.....

hotspot not working?

Helo, I have installed on my i9000:
-latest nightly of CM9
-semaphore 1.1.1
-JPG modem
and when i try to turn on the wifi hotspot it goes on for 1 second and then immediately turns of. With a previous configuration (team hacksung build 17, all stock) the hotspot stayed on, i could connect to it with my laptop, but i had no internet connection. I did manage get an internet connection with that configuration, but that was only once. With my phone I always have a working internet connection.
Is this modem or kernel giving problems with the wifi hotspot, or i there something wrong with my hardware?
Thanks!
same problem for me...

[Q] HTC One doesn't connect to WiFi N-only networks

My HTC One cannot connect to routers which are set to N-only mode. As soon as i change the router's setting from N-only to b/g/n mixed, it connects with no problem.
I have tested this with different routers and they all behave the same (i.e. N-only doesn't work while mixed b/g/n works fine). I have also tried 4.3 and 4.4.2 stock ROMs but both have the same issue.
Can anyone successfully connect to WiFi N-only networks? This phone is supposed to support WiFi ac, yet alone WiFi N.
So everyone else can connect to WiFi N networks?

Mi5 Pro WiFi 2.4GHz issues.

Hello forum members.
I want to share with You My Mi5 Pro WiFi problems, hoping someone can give advice so i can use my Mi5 Pro again.
The phone's WiFi has some issues:
It scan and display all networks, but can't connect to 2.4GHz networks.
It connects and work fine with some 5GHz networks. Also connect and work fine with 5GHz hotspot networks.
Bluetooth is working fine.
MiDrop can scan, but can't connect and transfer.
Hotspot is working only on 5GHz mode. On 2.4GHz can't share or connect to other.*
What I have tried to solve the issues:
Reset the phone.
Update the phone.
Flash other MIUI.
Unlock and flash other Android.
Rooted the phone and changed the WiFi MAC address (on MIUI).
Erased and flashed the modem (NON-HLOS.bin)(on MIUI).
No changes after all my attempts.*
And also, after all My attempts, I have noticed something. When I try to connect to 2.4GHz network (unsuccessful of course) and leave the WiFi on or off (the WiFi is not connected) , the phone's battery is draining very fast. If I connect to 5GHz network (successfully), and after that turn off the WiFi,**the battery is not draining fast.
If someone have any advice, or something I can check or share more info, I'm here and waiting.*
Thanks.
PS:Correction, 5GHz is not working with any router. More specifically, it's not working with most routers.
Maybe it's hardware problem. WIFI antenas disconnected?
Maybe, bit i hope it's software.
When i remove the antennas there is no wi-fi networks even detected, or only the closest ones are shown very weakly.
