My tablet is consistantly losing internet 8-10 times daily. The signal is strong but greyed out. To regain connection I have to turn wifi on and off. I also have the the wifi set to never off, stock everything, reset factory wipe too. Any help would be great otherwise a return is my future.
Router: Vizio XRW100 802.11a/b/g/n WPA security

Not so much info about your setup, however try switching channel in router. To many neighbours with wifi can make it hard. I prefer the 5 GHz band, great performance and less traffic, and the 8.9 supports it so give it a try.
Try a wifi scanner from the market and see which channels are in use in your surroundings.
Giving your suggestion a try will let you know how it goes.

Gray icon does not mean that wifi has disconnected. It means sync is experiencing problems.

Ok I am not sure the A500 supprts 5GHz, as a last resort before returning the Samsung you could look for a firmware update for your router.
Good luck
Ok so i hard reset my router and had the 8.9 the first device to connect to my network. Set the tablet to turn wifi off while screen is off. So far after 8 hours only had trouble 1 time connecting to my wifi (after sleep it couldnt findn my wifi). Hopefully this sticks

What does the issue with router have to do with ISP? two different things.
I also have issues with my wi-fi turning on and off whenever it wants, interestingly it happens on newer routers that have 5G, so I disabled 5G on my phone and disabled ATT smart WiFi. happening less now..

When I had AT&T Uverse service, the whole system ran through a 2wire router that includes a WAP. That's probably what he's referring to.
Also this thread can get deleted by now. Problem was solved.

Actually I have a problem with mine dropping WiFi all together. I know it is working because my husband's iPhone stays connected and it still works when mine has dropped. Lost 4 calls today because of that problem. Tried tinkering with the WiFi setting on the One between 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz and auto. Makes no difference. Connection lasts maybe 5 or 10 minutes then it disconnects. If you have a solution let me know.

Have you tried looking to see if your phone is actually saving the password? It is saved in the following location;
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Open this file up using a file explorer with root capabilities. Is your network SSID and password in there?

It is saving it because all I do to get it back on
Is turn off WiFi and turn it back in again. Then it works for five minutes or so. And I looked at the link that was provided above and made sure I had WiFi on always power saver off etc. See what it does tonight.

Sorry, my response was directed towards the OP. Should have made that clearer.
Sometimes dropped connections with android phones comes from having your router set to 'auto' for channel selection. If yours is this setting, try changing it to a fixed channel. Use the app Wi-Fi Analyzer to find a clear channel.

Well I contacted HTC, and I did the steps ad posted above and so far no problem. Of course it will probably happen after I post this knock on wood. Didn't have to do what HTC said below since it works now but will definitely do it if the problem persists. I also uninstalled a battery widget because one of the posts said to try that also.
We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Wi-Fi connection on your HTC One and can certainly provide some assistance to help resolve the issue.
To start, we will need to check a setting on the device. From the Home screen, access Settings>Wi-Fi>Menu>Advanced. Make sure the DLNA Auto-IP is disabled. Also, I know you have also changed it prior but set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 2.4 GHz. We will need test the combination to see if there is any difference.
If needed, we will need to make sure there is not an issue with the phone trying to get through your network’s security. For this, we will first need to remove the network from the phone. Access Settings>Wi-Fi then tap and hold on the name of the network to select Forget Network. Once done, reboot the phone and temporarily remove the security from the network. It should be open with no password and the SSID being broadcast. This is only temporary so we can test the phone to see if the same thing continues with an unsecured network. Once this is tested, you can add the security back to the network.
We would also recommend testing the phone with other public networks to see if you still having issues with the connection.
Feel free to reply should you have any further questions, Christina. If you feel more comfortable discussing issues by phone, you can contact Technical Support at 1-866-449-8358, 8 am to 1 am ET, 7 days a week.

Having the same issue with the wifi. Connection is erratic even if I am in the same room as the router/superhub. I went to the store today and they tested it there as well. They uninstalled some power saving apps and it seemed to work ok but at home same issues. Loosing connection when surfing and if I leave the room no connection at all.
Will have to get back to the store tomorrow to get it replaced.

Yea man...I remember you...haha. The One is bringing a lot of good people over from what I've been seeing.
As far as using an international ROM, yes I am....was using Trickdroid, but now I'm trying out AndroidRevolution 8.0...same issue. Next time I flash another Rom, I'll try the international setting instead of the ATT setting. Wouldn't I have to change the APN if I did that, or does that setting adjust something else?

Nah I didn't have to change anything. I get average 15-25 meg lte speed. A lot of guys were having the WiFi passwords reset on boot with the att package checked in aroma. From what I've seen the only difference with international & att is the signal icons. I had to switch because WiFi tether wasn't working under att.

I sometimes have the same wifi problem. I think I have to wait untill there is a software fix.
UPDATE: I bought a new router (<with wifi support 2G and 5G) and all my problems are solved.
I love this phone but have one strange concern, I've noticed that it likes to say my Wi fi is unstable yet I know it's perfectly stable has anybody seen this or experience it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes. I have similar problems with my wifi if I have it attached to my 5GHz wireless network that I know works fine.
It is particularly bad if the router is in N+AC mode.
Once I switched onto a 2.4GHz wireless network I haven't had the problem since.
For whatever reason my note 3 wifi has been really flaky on 5GHz.
I brought this up in the stupid questions thread a few days ago.

I got this error a lot the first couple of days. I played with the wifi settings a lot, and it seems to have "settled" down.
I was getting "unstable" error sitting feet away from my router. However, I just walked around 200 feet away from wifi at work and noticed it was still connected.
Edit:spoke too soon. Doing the same thing now.

the weird thing is is that it never loses the connection and my wifi speeds stay consistent at 64mbps
I get it a lot... I tried it with my 5g and it happens once or twice a day. The 2.4 ghz is even worse it happens about 7-10 times a day. I used my MiFi and it was 3 ft from my phone and it did it as well. Not sure the cause.. I have auto switch and Bluetooth off

If you disable this, it will stop prompting you about that and will also stay connected to not so great WiFi (if you have crappy WiFi).
All wifi has unstable times. What ahent929 said to do is correct.
This phone is designed to detect a drop in the signal. That's why it says it's unstable. Even if you have the absolute best router in the world, keep in mind the other radio frequencies that are passing through yours as well vis a vis.

Okay, so I'm having a WiFi problem. We just got the Comcast arris modem/router combo, which I know isn't the best, but it was parents choice.. so I'm stuck. I get very slow WiFi speeds , .5 -4 mbps depending on closeness to router. My family and friends with other phones such as iPhones and galaxy phones are getting around 20mbps down. Things I have tried are - flashing WiFistock.zip fix, restarting router, changing channel on router, changing secruity type, disconnecting and reconnecting, restarting phone, I'm nof sure what else I can try.. I can't stream HD Video anymore and I used to watch a lot of it.. any idea and help would be appreciated , thanks in advance !

I don't know if this helps, but try setting your modem to b/g/n mixed rather than N only (or if its set on b/g/n, change it to N only).
I had problems with wifi and mixed modes solved them.
Will try, thanks for the tip!

One of the first things I did. I had Xfinity out here today to check and it's all good, even upgraded modem. New connection and new modem didn't help.. it's not a major issue being it will pick up my neighbors open signal. Kinda glad I held off on Fi for now, screwed wifi wouldn't be good with that service

Is it on 5Ghz or 2Ghz? IIRC N6 can't connect to some certain channels on routers over 5Ghz unless you force your router to a N6 friendly channel.

You're welcome, and I'm glad it worked for you! Someone suggested that to me when I was having the same problem years ago. I don't remember specifically, but I think it was something to do with the phone's BT profile or ID changing enough that the router's security wouldn't recognize it as the same device. Changing the password and changing it back somehow reset everything and allowed it to connect as a new device.
can confirm, changing the "wireless network key" in the router was the only thing that worked, my device just refused to connect to wifi after I upgraded to 7.0, this shouldn't happen, there is a good number of people reporting this issue with the 5x and 6p it seems there's a problem with the drivers and returning to MM doesn't solve it
