I've been having trouble with my phone randomly rebooting about 40% of the time I connect to wifi with wps. I connect to a few routers a day with wps so it's important it work. Any idea's on why it could be doing this?
Thanks,
Jim

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.
When I reboot my Captivate, my Rosewill RNX-EasyN4 router reboots also. When the Captivate tries to connect to Wifi that is when the router reboots. This only happens after I reboot the phone. When I just turn off Wifi and then turn it back on, the router is fine. Even if I turn off the Wifi for a while and turn it back later, the router has no problems. Has anyone experienced this problem before? I am running Serendipity 6.3. I think it was happening when I was running stock also, but I am not 100% sure.
Sounds like your router is flakey. Rebooting the Captivate should not cause a reboot of your router. Check the Rosewill website and see if they have updated firmware for your router. That may solve the problem.
I have the latest firmware on the router dated 2010.07.15. I do not think it is a problem with the router because I have multiple notebooks, a PS3, and a wireless printer connected to it. Only the Captivate causes it to reboot.
Turn off wifi before you reboot.

Tried that already. Once I turn Wi-Fi back on, the router reboots.
Ok, try power cycling the router. 2) try the fxr wifi fix from the market.

Tried power cycling already. Installed and ran the FXR Wifi Fix, but that did not help. I went back to try your original suggestion, turn Wi-fi before reboot. Normally I have Flight mode turned on and Wi-fi enabled. When I reboot Wi-fi is disabled. So I assumed that rebooting with Flight mode on was the same as turning Wi-fi off. But I just tried it and they are not the same. When I manually turn off Wi-fi and reboot, it does not cause the router to reboot. The problem seems to be that when I reboot with Wi-fi on the phone is still in the router's WLAN Client Table. And when the phone tries to reconnect while the router thinks the phone is still connected, it causes it to reboot. At least now I can work around it. Thanks for your help.

Are you by any chance using a wireless N router? I've found that my Bionic will reboot my router every time I try to connect, not just on reboots. But if I turn off the wireless N and just use B+G on my router the phone works fine.
I have a wifi issue, it keeps trying to connect to the router then says authentication then disconnects ive tried 2 different routers and checked passwords everything fine my laptop connects fine, I installed phires rom and now i have nookiecomb w/froyo, I hate to start a new thread im am leaving for a while on travel and need this fixed since im going lite =P, did anyone else have this problem and can show me a fix?
Try doing a hard reset (holding down the power button until it shuts down). It should work. I had the same problem, wifi seems to be searching or couldn't log on. Had to do the hard reset twice before getting it functioning.
Just picked up the One yesterday and it's an amazing phone, however whenever I connect to my WiFi it connects quickly and then when I go to load a webpage or do anything with data it stutters, WiFi drops, 3G reconnects for a few seconds, tries to load and then WiFi reconnects. That cycle keeps going until I have to just turn WiFi off.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Yep driving me nuts trying to transfer from my old 3D. WTH.
no problems here with my netgear r6300 AC router, the initial connection does seems to take a bit longer than my old evolte but other than that not a single problem.
Hey,
Does anyone else have this?
I have a bunch of wifi connections my phone has been connected to before and has stored so it can connect to them automaticaly.
But for some reason every now and then is loses wifi connection and when i look in my list of wifi connections, it can find all connections accept the one that is known.
I thought at first it was my router but i noticed this happened also at my work and at friends houses.
The only way to get it working again is by restarting my phone.
This has happened to me the last couple of weeks, this is not something that happened from the start
