I've notice a slight issue with my Tab. Sometimes, when it's been left sleeping for a while it 'forgets' to go back to wifi and stays on 3G connectivity, even though I'm sitting right next to the wlan router. If I check the wifi settings, the network is listed as 'out of range'. If I turn off wifi and then back on again, it connects without any trouble.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
This is most certainly a router issue. The simplest fix is to reserve ip up for the tab and use fixed up settings.
I do this with all my LAN devices anyway because it adds a little security, as well as better interconnectivity.
But really you should investigate the router.
Somehow I doubt that. I'm using DD-WRT running on the classic LinkSys WRT54G, a combo that is widely famed for it reliability. I also have the router set up to serve a fixed IP to the Galaxy Tab, determined by the MAC address of the Tabs wireless interface.
I'm also running quite a few other wifi devices with the router, including three other android devices (G1, milestone, nook), and none of them show the same behavior.
I see... how many of your other devices use a dual band revision n radio? In my experience this can be a headache, even for custom firmware.
None, as far as I know. I'm not entirely sure about my wifes Motorola Milestone, but I'm pretty sure the G1 and the nook use bog standard 802.11g. I think you're right that this might be the problem. Any ideas how to improve that? It's not really a problem, just a slight blemish on the otherwise awesome experience.
This is well known android behavior making wi-fi sleep to preserver battery.
There are some mods to keep it on when sleeping.

Yes, and there's nothing wrong with that. I certainly don't want wifi on all the time, I just want it to reconnect when it wakes up.
Ill look into your router tomorrow, but atm I'd say there wont be much you can do other than force g only on the router. This will stop the tab from sending crc/ plcp overhead on both bands. Crazy as it sounds, the tabs radio is actually interfering with itself in this scenario.
I just replaced my HTC HD2 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab and have the exact same problem. The HD easily picked up my work and home WiFi when I moved between them, but the Tab 'forgets' to reconnect after standby.
I'm having this problem too. Every morning I need to turn off the wifi, then immediately turn it back on, before it will reconnect. This is with an Asus WL520GC running DD-WRT.
Yes, seems to be a router/device compatibility issue.
My tab works fine in my uni network (and it has quite a few dark spots), all of my friend's networks but it intermittingly fails to reconnect to my home wlan. I have a sky router (sagem actually).

I have seen this on various routers before and encountered it again last night.
There is a discussion on the cause here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839367&highlight=connect+wifi&page=3
It is due to the lease expiring from the access point and the device requesting the old IP with first sending a discovery message.
One work around - not the best - is to reboot the router. Then the Tab seems able to connect. Also I think if you connect ofter to the router you might not see this as the device will ask for a new lease.
Another - from the above referenced post - is to create a DHCP reservation for the Tab. This will ensure it gets the same IP address every time. I made this change to my router - so we will see.
Hope this helps.
Samsung Galaxy tab won't connect to WEP wireless
I am trying to get my Galaxy tab to connect to my HTC HD2 that is set up as a wi-fi hotspot.
My galaxy tab will connect to all WPA/WP2 networks but not the WEP. Please help.
mine does the same on a SMC Gateway (SMC8014WN) aswell as a D-Link Router (DIR-665)
I am going nuts here because of the same problem. Tab worked flawlessly for the last 4 months, found any router and had no wifi problems until recently. I have a D-Link DGL-4500 gaming router, and my dsl modem router also has a wifi connection. I suspect from the new firmware. Mine is a Euro model. I dont know why I upgraded from JK5 to JMG stock firmware, and wifi issues started. D-link's logs reports that it receives a deauth from the device and the connection ends... and never revives. Sometimes it happens 3-4 times in an hour, sometimes it stays connected for hours. I tried everything, static IP, delete dhcp list, etc. I have reset the device twice to factory defaults. Even then it disconnected the first minute I turned it on and set the wifi. So it should be a firmware issue. I realize that the wifi signal is also weaker now compared to the previous firmware. Congrats SAMSUNG! The Tab is consuming my data plan even when I am home. And I wonder how wifi only Tab is going to handle this problem. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WE CAN DOWNGRADE FROM JMG?? Help is appreciated.
my tab does the same thing (so does my x10). But when I open my browser, or anything that needs wifi, it reconnects automatically, however the browser usually needs to be refreshed (retry).

exactly the same behaviour. Every morning, I'm connected to my router but nothing works. Turn-OFF->ON and it works again
I should have noticed Roto's entering line. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360.
Since JMG has wifi isuues, I jumped onto JMI !
My home wifi and phone tethering works rather perfectly, but my university wifi is driving me nuts. I'm using 802.1x EAP, and it rarely connects and when it does, it says connected with no internet and keeps dropping connections. While my laptop, kindle, and my phone all get over 4 bars, the nook color fluctuates from 2 to 3.... Overall, no connection!!! Would swapping my nook color solve this problem?
My signal is not as good as other devices, but it does not drop.
After testing your settings, you could always buy another unit, test it, then return it
I've been having the same issue, Hahyun. Apparently the workaround for normal, generally unskinned Android devices is to use a program like FullWifi or an advanced wifi settings config app but for some reason, the settings never seem to stick.

I've been having problems with my WI-FI as well. I thought it had to do with low battery but I fully charged it and had the same problem. I couldnt connect to my home router and evey other device can (laptop, captivate, etc..) but my nook color connected to my mobile AP on my Captivate no prob. I changed the security on my home router to WPA from wpa2-psk aes and it worked. I was very surprised!!!! Did I fix it? No about 2 days later I'm not connecting anymore. It must have been a coincidence that I connected to my router after the change. Anyone else have a clue about why this is happening?

I was at our Budapest office last week, which also uses wpa2/psk and neither my nook or my android phone could connect to the wireless there. I couldn't even see the network.
My laptop could connect just fine though.
Definitely something fishy there.
Well my android phone definitely connects.. with full bars!! But nook color gets 2 if it does connect...

I might have the exception because my wifi reception is better than in my other devices (iphone,ipad, htc surround, 4 laptops (mac, dell, asus and hp). I can actually pick networks in my neighborhood that don't show up on my other devices and connect to a wifi network and keep that connection even though is 3 houses down the street.
Hmm.. so I should trade in my nook?

Im gonna give it a shot when I get off work in a few hours.
I had issues with my wifi signal strength. When I took it back to the store I compared mine to the store models and they would have 15-20 networks come up and I had 5 all with 1 or 2 bars. They exchanged it on the spot for me.
Ok thx fir the reply.

I just received my gen 2 moto x last night and am having trouble connecting to Wifi at work. It connects to my home network and one of my work networks just fine, but when I try to connect to the work network I need it to connect to the signal strength drops to "poor" as soon as I press connect. My home network and work network both are password protected. I've verified the password and have the same connection settings as my friend's gen 1 moto x, which connects properly. The work network has excellent signal at all times when I am not trying to connect to it. It just keeps cycling from "connecting" to "saved."
Has anyone else experienced this or know a workaround? I found this but this is for a gen 1 (I'm not sure if that would help) but I'm not rooted so I don't have access to phase 2 authentication. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/wifi-signal-drops-trying-to-connect-t2872241

Exact same problem. Fine at home and everywhere else. Spent a couple hours this week on the phone with Moto. They keep saying it's the network, yet everyone else is on it. They say update firmware and open MAC. Both of which are done.
This is the message in the Access point every 3 seconds when my phone is trying to connect...
"Client Deauthenticated: MACAddress:9c:d9:17:a1:c8:51 Base Radio MAC:b8:62:1f:ad:5e:90 Slot: 0 User Name: unknown Ip Address: unknown Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode: 1"
My wife's phone drops WiFi in favor of 4G LTE at home. I have to turn off data to connect to WiFi but it eventually drops the WiFi. I'm still waiting on my pure edition so I'm not sure if its just her phone or if its a common problem.

I have this problem all the time ON multiple networks, its very frustrating
Mines will disconnect from my 5ghz when the screen goes off and reconnects when turned on, works fine on 2.4ghz. I have a Nighthawk ac1900 so the phone is definitely the problem.

This is related to 802.1X, We have it implemented Radius and 802.1X at work and it doesnt connect. But the same AP has a guest SSID which has no protection and a separate vlan which has access only to internet and it works fine.

Sounds like this could be my problem. We have 4 networks we can login to, but they are all broadcast from the same access point. One says "secured with 802.1x" and is for laptops, two say "secured with WPA/WPA2" and are for cell phones/other, and the final is unsecured. I can only connect to the unsecured network.
So does it sound like it's the phone that's refusing the network, the network is refusing the phone for something the phone is sending back to it, or the network is refusing the phone for another reason?
I'm having this same issue. 1st Gen Moto X sitting right next to 2nd Gen, and the 1st Gen is connected while the 2nd Gen can't.
I'm having the exact same issue. It appears the problem is that older Cisco firmware doesnt support 802.11w, which is what the moto x 2014 uses by default. Here is a thread where a moto rep explains it to Cisco - https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12331486/connectivity-issues-cisco-controllers-and-pmf-enabled-moto-x-gen-2
My girlfriend and I have this phone and we had a similar problem. It would connect/reconnect like a billion times before staying connected on our home network but connect fine on other networks. I tried several solutions but the one that worked was changing the channel on the router. I live in an apartment building and there are a lot of WiFi networks around me so I figured that might be causing some interference. I changed my channel from 6 to auto (it automatically jumped to 11) and now it connects instantly and is solid. What's weird is I tried channels recommended by WiFi analyzer and my other devices would connect just fine but the Moto X's couldn't even see the network in the list when it was on a lot of channels like 12, 13, and 14.
Seems like a weird WiFi radio firmware bug to me.
Is there a client side fix for this?
I just ran into the problem at my work. It is a major hospital. They are not going upgrade their cisco firmware so a couple of people's personal phones are able to connect to the network.
WiFi in general is bad on the X2014 and I am reading the same in the Droid Turbo forums.

I never had a WiFi problem with the Moto X 2014 until today at work. It wouldn't connect to a few different clients Wireless APs. At the first client site I power cycled the phone and WiFi still wouldn't connect. I then went to another client site and once again it would no longer connect. I power cycled again and this time it connected just fine albeit Bluetooth was acting funny and not connecting to the Moto 360. After cycling Bluetooth off and on again the 360 finally connected. Not sure if this is an actual issue or just dumb luck. I wonder if anyone that was having WiFi issues with this phone also has a Moto 360 connected via Bluetooth?
I don't own a 360 and my bluetooth is normally switched off unless I'm streaming music at home.
I know none of what I am about to write will solve anyone's issue but sharing my experiences mught help understand you're not alone. I wander between as many as a dozen different wifi networks daily. I manager a 63 room hotel on 7.5 acres where we are currently running EnGenius EAP350 AP's broadcasting in 2.4mhz band ONLY using .11bgn. I set the entire network to use one SSID so roaming is, in theory, problem free. My XT1095 has not had any issues at all here on property.
I also have my personal network in the lobby and main building under 2.4/5/.11AC side by side with out guest network. No issues bouncing around. I honestly expected issues but have found none.
There is one issue I have found in Android in general which can happen randomly, or I have not been able to induce the behavior only recognize it. Occasionally when I move from one building to another Android (ICS forward for sure) will forget which actual AP it's after and just hang. My solution is to tell the device to forget that node then once forgotten the network, of course, shows up in the list. I then select it and boom we're back in business.
I do have issues when I visit a network at say, the grocery store which requires accepting an EULA...the device simply will hang Wifi wize, even when I delete and reconnect I won't get the note to open the authorization page. I end up just killing wifi and going with LTE.
I get the same behaviors from all my phones ICS though Kitkat, don't have Lollipop yet darn it!!
I have long been frustrated with this weirdism from Android but have reached a point of M.A.D. with my devices but never found a solution.
I have noted I have the most issues by far with Cisco/Linksys devices. It has been almost assured that if I have an issue it's one of those routers running an older firmware version (amazing how many AP/routers use default password settings...I mean, really???)
Not 100% sure it's a firmware only issue but I do think it's some common bit of hardware in an AP/Router which can go spastic for some reason preventing Android from figuring out how to remain or get connected. I even had one of the EnGenius AP's go nuts, a fast swap with a freshly configured AP resolves but, again, still does not identify or solve the problem
I also sense there is some oddness deep in the bowels of Android's wifi/networking subsystem which just was never written correctly and may never be fixed.
Last I run and app called Wifi Analyzer by Kevin Yuan, it helps me a GREAT deal because I can target a specific AP/node to connect with. Android versions often defeat this by not remaining connected to that desired target AP and switching to something else. Here is where I think some of the issues with wifi connectivity live...Google MUST spend some time refining their wifi subsystem.
No matter this is a Very frustrating issue when it happens. My best solution has always been to forget the current connection then reconnect with it again once it reappears. Better yet use Wifi Analyzer or similar app to target a specific AP/node and connect/forget from inside the app, that really does seem to help, mostly...sigh, I know, sorry...
This WiFi issue is really aggravating. I have tried so many things:
1. Rebooting Router
2. Powering Off/On Phone
3. Turning WiFi Radio Off/On
4. Resetting Phone Cache Partition
5. Using WiFi analyzer and setting my router to various channels manually
6. Changing Router SSID
7. Forgetting SSID on phone and re-adding it
8. Verifying MAC Filtering is not enabled
9. Enabling MAC filtering and specifically allowing phone MAC address
10. Disabling "Avoid Poor Connections" in WiFi settings
11. Manually setting WiFi frequency band to 2.4ghz in phone settings
12. Disabling "WiFi Optimization" in phone settings
23. Changing WiFi direct and BT phone names (yeah, a big stretch, but I read somewhere that this worked)
24. Installed updated firmware on my ASUS RT-N12D1 (3.0.0.d.376_3602)
25. Disabled WPS on router
26. Switched router between Auto, Legacy and N-Only
27. Disabled Authentication and Encryption on router, just an "Open" connection.
After all of this, the phone still has WiFi connectivity issues. Sometimes after a phone power cycle it will connect to WiFi, but never for very long. Every other device I have connects to the WiFi without issues. I just got the Moto X a few days ago (AT&T version) and this is the first time I have ever had a device with WiFi connectivity issues like this. Very aggravating. There is clearly something wrong with either the hardware, or software on the phone.
There are some other oddities. When it won't connect to WiFi, there is something strange with the phone. Its not like it just can't connect or stay connected to WiFi, but somehow it seems like the WiFi is in a stalled state. Sometimes it won't show any WiFi networks and just says "Searching for WiFi networks..." until I turn off wifi and turn back on again. Then as soon as it turns back on, it will show the nearby SSID's, and try to auto-connect to my router, but after a few seconds it shows "Disabled" under the SSID. Then after a few seconds the disabled goes away, and it just shows the SSID name. It also won't let me change the WiFi Direct phone name while the WiFi is in this state, it gives me an error saying "Failed to rename device", followed by "Group Creation Failed". However, when I am actually connected to WiFi, I can rename the WiFi direct name just fine. So its not just simply an issue with bad radio signal or something, but something more serious, like the WiFi state is hung or something. If I can't resolve this in another day or two, I am going to have to return the phone, and hopefully a replacement will work. If not, I might have to get something other than a MotoX because I can't not have WiFi while at home and work.

I found a way that seems to work to connect to WiFi. To clear, this isn't a fix for the data-sync issue that some people are having, or poor signal, but the issue where you can't connect to an SSID, and there is no error or anything.
1. Hold Down Power Button
2. Turn Airplane Mode On
3. Turn Wi-Fi On
4. Connect to SSID
5. Press Power Button down again
6. Turn airplane mode "Off"
I have now tried this several times, and it works everytime. If I turn off Wi-Fi and back on again, it won't connect, until I do the airplane mode trick. I don't know who to give credit for this, I have spent days and hours searching, and I remembered reading that from somebody else, but not sure where, so this is not my fix, I am just posting it here as it seems to work.
This issue is strange, and must be some combination of Android, and Motorola software/hardware/firmware configuration. I hope they get this fixed, but it at least now, this temporary fix will work whenever WiFi is not connecting.
For those of you getting WiFi connectivity problems, it could be related to your router setup. Download an app called InSSIDer and run a scan, then choose a channel that's not being used but make sure it's 5 channels higher or lower. For example, if it detects 3 networks on channels 3, 5 & 6, then you want to choose channel 10 or 11. If it detects one network on channel 6, then you should choose channel 1 or channel 10 or 11.
I noticed issues like this when I bought my Nexus 4 after my iPhone 4. Android devices seem to ship with rubbish WiFi radios.
Like I've mentioned before, I've not experienced a single disconnection with my phone either at home, work, in laws, coffee shops or anywhere else ever. Same with my first gen Moto X.
Mine is slightly different. Now and then, after power cycling or rebooting, it forgets all the WiFi passwords. Not every time. Just now and then.
Also sometimes it's quite fast, some slow. My wife's firs gen is pretty constant.
I just got the new monster nexus 6 and I have a wifi problem where it simply will not connect to my work network. It doesn't say authentication problem it just pops back and forth between "saved" and "connecting". I was able to connect to my home network no problem and there's no issue with access control. They're both WPA2 and I've quadruple checked the password. I also know it works on everyone else's phones so it seems there's just some unknown issue with getting the nexus 6 to connect. Can't imagine anyone has any good ideas but has anyone else seen wifi problems with their nexus 6?
I've done the easy stuff like reboot phone and forget and re-enable network and manually enter network but wondering if there's some kind of bug. It doesn't even say "authentication problem" when i try a wrong passcode for ages but it eventually will. Very strange stuff
Does the work wireless have any sort of mac address filtering enabled? And available DHCP address leases? Those would be the two things that pop up in my head first.

The IT guy didn't seem to think there was MAC filtering and I wouldn't think so as I had my nexus 5 here a while back but I'll probably test tomorrow by bringing in my N7 2013 that's never been in the office and now has lollipop and see if it gives me trouble as well.
I'll have to learn more about terminal commands and see about the logcat as well to see if there's any hints why it's failing. Haven't got that deep into that in years though.

Having the exact same problem on my nexus 6. I do however get a warning 'authentication problem'. Re-entering password doesn't help. A reboot fixes the problem. Does not occur on my nexus 5. Hope this apparent bug is fixed in next lollipop update or sooner
I came across this, it's an older article but still relevant:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...uble-connecting-to-5-ghz-wi-fi-access-points/
I have the same problem.
Nexus 6 (Android 5.1), bootloader unlocked, and rooted.
The problem occurs sporadically, and only on one out of two SSIDs.
Firewall/Router is SonicWall TZ-215W.
The problematic SSID uses Windows PDC, DNS and DHCP server, and allows access to internal office network.
The good SSID uses public DNS servers, with no access to internal office network.
HCT-Vivid and LG G3 access the problematic SSID without an issue.
EDIT: The problem is solved by updating Sonicwall TZ-215W firmware to SonicOS Enhanced 5.9.0.7-17o.

I just spent two weeks at my brother's house who has Comcast. Never had a problem at all using his Wi-Fi for Internet.

I also have Comcast. No WiFi issues with my Nexus 6, or any other devices.
Hey there... I am actually a field technician for Comcast maybe I can help. What exactly are you having for issues... can you see the network, is it the default password with default network name??? Let me know and I can do what I can to help you. Also what device do you have an XB2 or an XB3 wireless gateway?
That's weird. At my mother's I also have some issues with the WiFi at times where I just won't get a connection. I keep having to turn the WiFi on the nexus on and off. Luckily the lte coverage in the area is top notch
Just yesterday subscribed to Comcast/xfinity, logged my Nexus 6 into it, got full strength signal showing on the phone, and HUGE latency-to-zero performance. This is the first and only time I've ever seen little to no WiFi performance, yet WITH a very strong signal. I wonder if this has something to do with xfinity WiFi and that business where they share your bandwidth with other members who are nearby and wanting to use WiFi?
My wife's iPhone works fine with it...

I have this same issue with my Nexus 6. I can connect to the WiFi fine, but web connections never seem to complete. The progress bar in chrome gets to about 10% and just sticks there. Apps attempting to download data just time out.
I am running the latest stable released build of Marshmallow.
I do not have this issue on my n6 with xfinity internet. I do not use their leased modem/router so do not share the Internet but doubt that is the issue.
However, the WiFi is not always 100% stable (notice in clash of clans when a short disconnect is a big deal). I rarely get sporadic disconnects in that game but streaming video, etc. never causes an issue. I am using the latest Pure Nexus build lately and seems to have helped (maybe placebo).
Edit: I use that n6 like an iPod touch now (WiFi only) so I'd definitely notice but it works great.
