WIFI signal randomly dropping on ICS

Ok random problem for me..
Using the note since December last year with no problems... Until now!
Have tried most custom roms now but have recently stuck with stock as I like to use the sky go app so I can watch the F1 at work.
My problem is with any ICS Samsung based ROM my wifi keeps dropping and then reconnecting but the strange thing is only with my virgin media dlink router. If I connect to my BT home hub its fine (but so slow on YouTube etc and my PC is hooked to the virgin line which I use for all share)
Is there a fix for this? I don't want to go back to GB even though the connection problem doesn't occur there as I'm one of the few who actually likes stock ICS. I have done a search and there are a lot of complaints threads etc even with the s2 but no definitive fixes. Any and all help and suggestions appreciated

OpenWrt
Have the same issue with Stock SGN ICS and routers with OpenWrt. Still dont know what causing it.
Regards.

Yeah, I´ve been experiencing that too. I have been working abroad recently, and when I was at home it seemed fine so I assumed it was the network rather than the phone. Using it side by side with my ipod, the ipod is working more consistently, so I wonder if it just has problems holding a connection when the wifi signal is weak (all the routers here are wireless G, while at home I used a newer N router). I noticed, in particular, that when the ipod was reporting very poor signal, the note was giving good signal, but was not able to connect, and then lost connection altogether.
Do you still get drops if you have your phone very close to the access point?

I get less frequent drops if im closer but it still loses connection then auto reconnects. I just never had this problem with GB.
Well i thought i'd try a couple of the custom roms.. So far King Droid 4.2, AllianceRom V1, Cassies XLR and now on RocketRom v7. They are all doing it. Im at my wits end.
So im now gonna try a few different kernels.. If i remember rightly the kernel handles the WIFI?

Likely a kernel issue - I saw the same on SpeedMod K3-9, reverted to K3-7 and works fine....(Although investigating the best route to switch to NoteCore STD)
My advice is find an alternate kernel ....

Alternative to Fake Wifi Connection Module for Lollipop

I need to stay on Kitkat for using this module which makes app believe it's connected to WiFi.
I need it to play Modern Combat 5

It's not quite as elegant as the Fake Wifi Connection module but the solution in this thread does the job for now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/request-t3109558

S5 Active - apps slow on WiFi

Hi. I have a new stock (not rooted) AT&T G870A running 5.1.1 with OJ3 baseband. I've noticed 2 apps, Instagram and Followers+ run very slow when the phone is connected to WiFi. If I turn off WiFi, they work fine. But as this phone is from my job, switching to cellular data for these 2 apps isn't really an option (nor is rooting it). Anybody run into anything similar (and fixed it)?
TIA,
-Jerry
PS... and like my Sprint S4 before this, it's rockin' a really sweet wallpaper from @rwilco12 pro wallpaper app... (shameless plug for forum mod... )

No problem and my pleasure! Thanks for all the great wallpapers! :good::good:

Found an answer....
After lots of Googling/reading, I found many dead ends. One of them said to disable IPV6 on your router. Didn't try it as the problem happened at home and at work. Then, the other day, things started working properly at my job. OK, maybe it is the network... When I got home, I disabled IPV6 on my internal router, and voila! Problem solved!
HTH,

Any solution for the 5 minutes Tethering/wifi hotspot bug ?

Hi,
I have stock 4.0.3 and i wanted to know if there is any solution for the annoying bug that cuts wifi hotspot (tethering) after 5 minutes?
Whenever i turn tethering on, it automatically disconnects after 5 minutes, even if another device is connected.
Any tip about fixing this huge bug will be very appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone ??
I'm sure more people have noticed this bug...

Yes noticed it.
Using freedom os fixed it.
It's based on stock oos only.

I'm on freedom os and I encounter the same bug. My solution was to remove wifi password

I have password on still my WiFi isn't shutting down after 5 mins now.
Lucky me maybe.

Also noticed that yesterday...

Noticed this two days ago when internet was down at my house and I tried using my hotspot to get work done. Was quiet annoying.

That strange I just got my OP3T and havent needed to use the hotspot yet. But my nexus 5x just started doing the same thing recently, made me wonder if its a more wide spread issue across different devices.

Yes it's very strange.
I've read somewhere else that it's only happening after the oxygen 4.0.3 update.

noticed this and can't find a solution yet.

I just got my 3T two weeks ago and I haven't tested WiFi tethering, my phone is running OOS 4.0.3, rooted with Magisk and passes SafetyNet.
I know my old Galaxy S4 worked fine for tethering for hours.
I will test WiFi tethering and to my laptop this evening while streaming content from YouTube and see if my tethering lasts longer than 5 minutes. I will also test if I can properly turn the WiFi toggle on and off without the phone acting up.

Uh this is something I will test out as well. I need a working tethering Hotspot for work and I didn't expect any issues here (just got my OP3t a few days ago.

I've had mine a couple of weeks now and tethered a couple of times and had no issues, however, I've resisted the temptation to update to 4.0.3, due to the touch latency issue and now maybe because of this, and only updated to 3.5.4. So maybe it's a 4.0.3 issue as mentioned?

Greetings, I just wanted to follow up and state that my tethering worked just fine. I did three 10 minutes videos on YouTube at 1080p and consumed 600MB of my data plan.
No interruptions or disconnects. My 3T was on a 4G connection the entire time. Plus I did this test when my 3T was at 14% battery and went down to 8% battery.
Once again my specs are the following, OOS 4.0.3 and Magisk Rooted.

The actual issue is hotspot will be disabled if no device is connected.
Only fix I found was using either Tasker or Automate to check that and switch it back on (I use a location trigger, since I need while at office only).

When enabling Portable hotspot, which uses Mobile Data and allows others to connected to the phone, it states inside "Connected Device Manager" that this feature will be turned off after 5 minutes if there is no device connected.
I'm not sure that this is a problem, I'm sure my Galaxy S4 did the same thing when no device is connected after a period of time.
But yes creating a Tasker profile to keep toggling this on when it turns off would work.
