Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here so I will try to be clear and short.
I'm using a Moto X XT1058, first, Stock Br Android 5.1 Firmware, unlocked bootloader I had a long time since I upgraded from 4.4.4, until yesterday everything went normal, when I arrived home from work I noticed my phone didn't connect automatically to my house lan, so I tried to manually select the SSID on the WiFi menu and I clicked connect, then, instead of the "connecting" > "Assigning IP Address" > "connected" steps, it changed to saved and no connection was made, and every time I try it does the same. I tried almost everything I could to fix this and the result is the same (images attached):
- Clicked on forgot, and tried again with the correct password.
- Reset my router to factory and upgraded firmware.
- Switched over different wireless authentication methods, even open.
- No firewall or MAC filtering is activated on my router.
- Wireless settings are the default, I can connect with any other device except my phone works( Notebook, Desktop with Wireless adapter, my dad's phone Moto G).
- I made a factory reset on my MotoX, switched over 5.1, I made a downgrade to 4.4.4, full wipe, loaded a past backup with twrp, flashed via mfastboot manually, switched again to a fresh install of 5.1, still can't connect.
- I read something about cleaning wifi cache and accessing wlan test and test wifi drivers using dialer code *#*#526#*#* but it didn't work on mine, also read something about checking wireless interface using a root terminal, but honestly I'm starting to lose faith on this...
I like this phone so much and I don't wanna expend on another unless this really doesn't have any fix.
When going to the WiFi Options (three dots bottom right on the WiFi screen) make sure "Avoid poor connections" isn't checked, also try selecting the right band (2,4 or 5GHz) manually. Also turn of "WiFi Optimization", unlikely that this causes your problems but overall this setting will bring you into trouble before it saves a noteable amount of battery. Do you see a MAC Address on the bottom there? On your router manually set a channel (on 2,4 GHz try 7, should be pretty empty there). Try enabling WiFi on your phone while your routers WiFi is off, then turn on the router. Maybe you can solve this by manually restarting the service on the phone through terminal or adb if you have root, that works for me although I had a little different problem:
su
svc wifi disable
svc wifi enable
disable first even if you disabled through the menubutton.

Hello and thanks for replying! I tried what you suggested with no luck, today I noticed the problem got worse... not my phone doesn't detects any wifi signal...
I think this is a hardware failure problem and I have yo buy another phone
Any other ideas?
Sad to hear that, one last thing you could try is removing the battery. Since this isn't possible without disassembly there's a trick I got from the Motorola Service, they call it Hung State Recovery:
This works as if the battery was removed from the device. Since it is built-in it is impossible
to remove the battery for it would void the warranty.
This process terminates all running commands from the processor allowing it to start anew.
No Data will be lost in the process.
With the device switched OFF (even if the device is not turning ON at all) follow the steps
bellow.
1. Please press and hold the VOL DOWN key
2. While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
3. Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds.It must be more than 2 minutes!
4. After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
5. The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
6. Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.

Unlikkely that this will help but it's just 2 minutes and at least a chance.

Hello again... I almost gived up since yesterday but I don't know why, I wanted to try again... I even ordered a new phone from an online shop... but I just tried to connect to my wifi, and the reason why it wasn't detecting any APs was because I left the 5.0 Ghz band activated on one of my failed attempts to get Wifi working. Just switched again to automatic, clicked on my home AP and authenticated with my password and Bingo! It worked...
Not sure why but it got fixed somehow
Thanks for helping me out, I would try to sell it since I got a new one.
Good to hear that, that's a pretty common issue as it seems why I already suggested forcing the phone to use the right band. Don't set to automatic if you don't need both frequencies. Instead of selling the Moto X why don't you ship the new one back? If still sealed you shouldn't have problems getting a refund and in terms of one hand useable screen size, memory and cpu power you shouldn't need more until it comes to games or some strange kinds of usage where everybody clear in mind would choose a laptop.

Is it possible for an App to interfere with the WiFi connection? I've downloaded plenty of third party, torrented apps and I've been noticing that my WiFi will work for a few pages and then stop loading, throwing up an error saying "Web page not available" showing the little Android. This would cause me to disable WiFi and go strictly with 3G. Enabling WiFi later would help with a few more pages until it wanted to die again.
After I uninstalled ALL of my apps and unrooted the phone, I've noticed that the WiFi works again (so far at least). I still have the same 1 bar signal from across the house, but it isn't giving any more errors.
I constantly used task killer to free up memory, so I don't think those apps would have made a difference in the sense that they may have been taking up some bandwidth or the such.
Any clues guys? Thanks for any help.
Same
I have the same problem. I rooted and did the settings.db. My wifi will turn on and connect but 20-30 seconds later it just turns off on its own. I haven't unrooted it to see if it fixes it though.
How did you unroot yours?
Thanks
Like, I'm pretty sure that's just karma, dude. Harsh vibes from people like me that make software for a living reaching out and disrupting your chakra centers. And your WiFis.
That and using Task Killer in the first place. Not needed, causes more problems than it solves (and it solves almost nothing on Galaxy S).
I am in the same boat--just started noticing it today when I got home from work and turned the phone back on only to see I wasn't connected to wifi. When I connected to my network again I noticed the 3G icon stayed on the screen with the wifi connection symbol, where the wifi icon used to replace the 3g icon. After a little while, it was gone.
I have rooted and removed some of the AT&T apps but nothing else. I havent sideloaded any apps either. It usually take me a couple of tries to connect to my router (WRT54GL). Sometimes it also seems that my phone turns off wifi by itself.
I hope this isn't a symptom of the battery cover antenna. Does your WiFi signal show as weak in the strength readout?

It does actually turn off wifi by itself! I did the following last night and haven't seen an issue since. As a new user, I can't post links: androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/130163-wifi-connection-turns-off-when-sleep-mode-default.html
From androidforums.com:
By default the wi-fi setting is set to go to sleep (and use cellular data instead) when the screen is off, which will most likely happen while you are streaming music as well as other things. To change it so the wi-fi never turns off, go into the phone's menu -> wireless and network -> wi-fi settings -> tap the menu button and select advanced which has an option for wi-fi sleep policy that had been defaulted to sleep "when screen turns off". There you have the option to change it to "never" or "never when plugged in".
Did a little more playing around with it, finally had to reset my router to maintain any type of consistent connection after restarting the phone. One weird thing is that my old iPhone wasn't able to connect to the router consistently last night until the reset either--it has never had any issues in the past.
After the reset, the captivate did maintain a consistent connection--I browsed a few websites and streamed part of a show from my computer using Allshare.
This morning when I turned on the phone wifi wasn't connected so I went into the settings and looks like the phone had attempted to connect unsuccessfully. I clicked it again to connect and it connected without any issue and was fine until I left for work. The whole thing seems a little wonky, as well as it should automatically try to re-connect if it fails the first time if network is in range, or at least give you an alert.
I just set up tdogz suggestion above, so we will see if it helps.

Before I unrooted the WiFi wouldn't work with full or low bars, not sure of the strength readout.

Running into the same issue, I am positive it is a software issue. It only seemed to happen after I flashed my phone with the Odin One click downloader. Dunno if it is coincidence or not. Going to try clearing the user data from the recovery window to see if it helps. I also notices on the power widget, i cant control GPS from there, blue tooth as well i think.

Huzza! I figured my issue out, may be yours as well. Did you do the sideload hack with the settings.db? Turns out you need to change the owner of settings.db to system:
Code:
# chown system settings.db
After that, I was good to go. The logic behind this is that settings.db tracks more settings than just if you can sideload apps or not. I'm betting the system is trying to change a value in that file and it cant after the hack, so various systems fail.
Hi,
I'm a proud O2X user.
Only issue I'm having right now is that WIFI won't start all the time.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it gives me error.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it directly works.
Most of the times when it ain't working, I soft reset and WIFI is powering on again.
I had this same issue on my DHD. That was caused by the kernell. So I think it's the same with my O2X. I'ma wait till 2.3.x cause I don't use WIFI that much. And If that doesn't fix the problem, I'ma make use of the VIP service.
Other people expierincing this issue.... ??
After I installed Juice defender I think it got a little more diffecult to connect. One time I experienced that my accesspoint in the list had status "Deactivated".

Mine is still stock not rooted....
And when WIFI does power on, it does connect to my accesspoint.
The funny thing is even trying to enable WIFI with hiddemenu doesn't work then aswell....
Got my O2X two days ago, and Wi-Fi reconnection after sleep mode simply doesn't work. It times out waiting for an IP address from the DNS service, disconnects, connects, waits for address, and fails again. Turning Wi-Fi off in Wi-Fi settings, and then turn it on again, solves the problem. Peculiar and annoying.

Same problem here
I called LG yesterday.
The 2.3 will be a big update.
Many thing should be fixed.
He noted:
E-mail client will be fixed.
Some lag in the UI would be fixed.
WIFI should be fixed.
Better powermanagement.
So hope these world will be true.
Or else I'ma trade it for a HTC HD7
Got the same problem, WIFI works sometimes and suddenly it doesn't.

This can be router/access point related. Using WPA2 Personal encryption causes my O2X to lose WIFI connection after a short while. Therefore, for those of you with problems, try disabling WIFI encryption (only for testing) or try some other encryption method.
If the phone wont connect to a open/non encrypted router or access point, then the problem lies with the phone (most likely but not for sure).
Try it out!

I got the "Deactivated" too. I got that when I had the phone Wifi sleep policy set to "When screen turns off". When I changed to "Never" it was stable. I have later changed to "Never when plugged in" and that has been stable too.
I will test reverting back to "When screen turns off" this weekend and see if the problem returns.

My WIFI won't start then. After Reboot it will work couple of times. But then again it gives ERROR while start WIFI.
I have had this happen to me the last few days, despite wifi working perfectly the entire of the first week I owned the phone.
I have seen both problems mentioned here:
Won't get past "obtaining IP address"
Switching it on or off says "error"
Also, in the case where it would error, I also noticed a significant slowdown. Plugging the phone and using ADB to read "top" gave me:
Code:
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
1284 49% R 1 0K 0K unk root dhd_dpc
19960 1% R 1 912K 428K fg root top
Which must be a rare issue as I could only find a reference to dhd_dpc messing up here, for a SGS owner who never got an answer.
Rebooting the phone always fixes these issues. Although sometimes going into airplane mode and out again will solve the "obtaining IP address" issue.
I only have the •Switching it on or off says "error" issue.
I figured out enabling disabling wifi with the LG Control buttons (in the notification bar) fixed this issue.
Now it is always working and not giving me error.
Back it the day with settings or the power management icons enabling wifi 9/10 times gave me error.

Did he mention when we could expect the update?
Btw, you should shut off the wifi-sleep in advanced settings, and the problem is solved. =)
I am a bit concerned..
My phone is connected fine to Wifi at home, and apparently this weekend I have used 91mb of network data!! I did not go out so my phone should have stayed connected to Wifi at all times. But when I wake it from sleep (only woke it when email or text notification came in) When the screen lock pops up there is the 3G/H icon that’s stays until I unlock the pattern – then the Wifi icon pops up….
Should it not stay connected to Wifi even in sleep, as how is it recovering emails and such??
I am eating up my 500mb allowance very quick even when on wifi!!!
I have had no problems with home wireless as my pc (on wireless) has over 500hrs uptime connected.

yes i have the same problem, but then i reset my linksys router, then it works again.
but i had the same problem with my htc hd2.
Same here.
I have turned sleep policy to never but wireless always drop in sleep mode (sometimes it just stop to reply to ping, other times it switch back to 3g).
I tried every different setting on router (beacon, auth, speed, channel...) and static IP, but still no luck :\
So my wife's motox decided to stop connecting to my home wifi/cable modem. My phone (LG G2) as well as all laptops/tablets connect fine. My G2 can see about 8 nearby networks, the MotoX always sees my neighbors network and occasionally a 2nd or 3rd but that's about it. If my home network finally shows up I enter the password and it immediately switches to "Out of range" and shows as a Saved network. I enabled the hotspot on my phone and the MotoX still didn't show the hotspot. Here are the things I've tried so far:
- Forget network and readd it if/when it finally shows up as a visible network.
- Cleared cache from recovery
- Rebooted
- Toggling airplane mode
- Disable just data
- Power cycled cable modem. Also Hard reset it and set the network back up.
- Disable wifi optimization, notify when open network is available, as well as the always allow scanning.
- Switched from auto to 2.4 Ghz only.
- Switched between multiple channels on router.
The MotoX is the Canadian version, 4.4.2 stock, unrooted. Router is an awesome Hitron piece of crap but it's been working perfectly fine for months.
Short of doing a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

You have already tried everything that I would suggest, short of a factory reset. If you do factory reset, please let us know if it resolves your issue. Since you are not rooted, I'm confused as to how this could happen :/
Good Luck
I am assuming you have already unchecked the "avoid poor connections" option too in the wifi settings.

It was already unchecked so I didn't touch it.
Some routers can't handle certain number of conectinons, try rebooting your router
The router is built in with the cable modem which I've already rebooted as well as reset completely. Also with the phone only able to see a couple of networks at a time when there should be 8 - 10 visible at any time I think the phone is the problem. I just can't figure out what happened.

A few users have randomly had issues with WiFi, and their issues were only resolved by flashing the entire stock SBF as per the "Return to Stock" thread.
If a factory reset does not resolve your issue, you may consider SBFing back to stock. Since you will be flashing the stock rom (with matching CID), this is possible even with a locked bootloader.
Good Luck
I saw some posts about the SBF thing but wasn't sure if that applied to an unrooted / locked device or not. Thanks for the info.

An update for anyone looking for one. Her phone stated working fine yesterday on its own. It picked up and connected to our home network on its own and it can see all of the nearby networks like mine does.
Neither of us have done anything to it yet. Haven't touched the router or her phone since I first posted the problem.

Ok so wifi decided to crap out again. This time I did a full wipe (internal storage included) and now wifi doesn't even turn on. It flips to ON for half a second then immediately back to off. Bluetooth does the same thing. I've called my provider (Rogers) and they're sending me another one.
Considering the wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip I guess the whole chip is toast or loose or something. Either way its well beyond a software fix.

You did a full wipe, but did you actually SBF back to stock? As I had commented previously, ONLY a full SBF back to stock can repair a corrupted filesystem. A "Full wipe" just erases cache and userdata.
SBFing actually REPLACES all the partitions. If you haven't tried, you can't say for certain that it is well beyond a software fix. It could have simply been a corrupt file...
Good Luck
If it was my phone I would have tried a SBF but considering it's my wife's she's a big more hesitant to let me and if they're sending us a new one, why bother?
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.

What!? Really?
I've not had a single issue with WiFi connectivity. I'm an IT professional so heavily reliant on WiFi.

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.
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Oneplus 3t and everything was working fine.
But recently when I tried to connect my Wifi at work it keeps connected, but I cant browse the internet. There was a login page where I had to enter my email address, but it doesnt show up anymore when I connect to the Wifi.
I have clean installed LineageOS and then back to stock rom via ADB sideload , but still the same thing is happening. All other devices can connect to the Wifi, but when I connect my phone, I cant browse the internet. I have tried to change the IP address and DNS server as well.
When I open chrome and go to google.com it says "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET"
What does it shows in wifi settings? Do you have two lines in IP adress?

It shows just one line of address.. 172.16.55.24 I have tried to access the WiFi with IPv6 enabled and disabled too, but to no avail
Hi
Try to reset your mobile wifi setting or wifi router setting.

I have downgraded OOS 4.0.3 to 3.5.4 but still the problem persists. I do not have access to the router.
Well do what you can to figure out if it's the phone or the network
Use different devices, see if the network is up
See if the device will connect to a different network
Easiest way to narrow it down if you can
If it is the phone...cycle power, reset network settings, factory reset in that order. Or something similar

When you say cycle power, what do mean by that? And for the factory reset, should I do it through phone's setting menu and completely wipe data as well?

So as a general rule you start with options that won't lose you any data you want.
Then you go forward towards more "extreme" steps
So factory reset is basically the laymens ultimate step, and just like you described it, this comes last. Only do this if you can't connect to multiple networks and have backed up your data properly (if you don't care about your data you can do it right now tho)
Power cycling = turning device on and off, this is your first step
Next you're going to reset the network settings
Then if that doesn't work you can wipe all the data from settings as you described, but I wouldn't recommend doing that until you're sure it's your phone and not your network. Most of the time if you backup the data completely there is a possibility your'e going to restore the glitch with the good data.
Good luck

I have tried to completely wipe off all data from the phone, flashed Resurrection Remix, LineageOS and OOS 3.5.4, but I'm still having the same problem. The WiFi works for everybody else, but when I connect it shows that "Connected, no internet". It's a public WiFi and a login page needs to show, but it just asks that there is not internet and whether I'd like to stay connected. When I first got the phone it worked fine, and even showed the login page.
