WLAN not working properly only at home - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm facing this problem since 1-2 months which is really annoying:
I dont get Hangout, Instagram, Gmail, Whatsapp.. Notifications/Updates when I'm connected at my home WLAN. It's working everywhere else fine. I "forgot" the network on my Nexus 6 (5.1.1), resetted my modem from my ISP AND also bought and installed a new WLAN Router (Airport Extreme). Nothing helped.
My chromecast also stopped working and I cant connect it - also working fine at other locations/networks!
Does anybody know this problem and how to fix it? Would be awesome <3
Cheers

It really does sound like the router, but seems odd that the issue persists after replacing it.

[Q] Wifi - problems..

Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.

[Q] Wifi Connected but not working!

WiFi is working on 2 other sgs2s but not on my NOTE! It was yesterday but not anymore! i tried everything, flashed another ROM (was using criskelo v4.1, flashed CheckROMv5) in vain! The weird part is that if i go to facebook in browser it works but nothing else works. No app, market, kitchen app, nothing! All works on 3g! It's extremely frustrating and i can't seem to find any answer anywhere!
If i start browsing with 3g then enable wifi, it works. I don't know what to do and i can't keep using 3G, it's extremely expensive in my country!
It started when i flashed UltimateKernelCleaningTool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738&page=13 before flashing AbyssNoteKernel35bOriginalLogo.zip.
Any clues?
Try assigning Static IP in WiFi Settings.
If everything Ok on device side, you may try to reset your Router. perticularly if mac protection enable, this issue occurs.
no mac protection is enabled on router, and if it's a router problem shouldn't other devices be affected by it? Laptop connected with internet, bro's sgs2 connected with internet, sis's sgs2 also!
could be kernel related, tried a different kernel?

yes, i tried abyss3.5b and cf kernel la4!
i prefer cf kernel since it has all functions enabled like 3 way torch and loop capabilities (no other kernel has those)! I've been using the cf kernel ever since i got my NOTE 2 month ago and never encountered that problem before!
Just want to share my experience. i faced similar problem today. I connected to WIFI in my office but was not working. Then i started browser and realized i need to login to cyberroam for WIFI to work. Everything worked smoothly thereafter. Hope this helps !!! Goodluck !!!
any firewall rules enabled on router? or any IPS/filter enabled?
i use droidwall, i tried disabling it but it didnt work! I tried browsing directly after clean install (no app installed) still didn't work! 3G works great.

[SOLVED] Weird WLAN problem (Connection, but no Data)

Hi everybody,
first of all, i'm german and i hope my english is good enough to explain my strange problem
I'm using CM10 by Ivendor (thx for the great work) on my SGS+. It worked for months without problems. Yesterday a friend asked me why my SGS+ is off. It wasn't off, but there was no data connection. It says WLAN is connected, 3G is connected, but both icons were grey and no data is transported. I disabled WLAN, and the 3G icon went blue and i got my data connection back. But evertime i enable WLAN, it will connect to my network, but i can't send/reicieve any data.
So, i thought maybe something on the ROM is broken or something like that. I updatet to the latest version (1.0) but i still have the same problem. Did anybody heared before from that strange problem, or is my phone hardware broken?
Would be great if anybody could help.
Regards, Keith
Hi again,
i fixed the problem and my sister should play lottery. She also has a smartphone and she was using the same IP like mine. In our network there are six computers and threee phones, DHCP is disabled and my phone got the 187 at the end of the IP, and my sister was using the same All is good now, sorry for this thread but i thought something like that never could happen to our small network and so i really don't checked that thing.
Regards, Keith

WiFi Problems

I am running Global 10.2. I got the phone on Saturday and since then I am unable to get wifi working properly. It will work for maybe a few minutes and then cut off. I have tried two different routers.
I am unrooted. Is there anything I can do apart from returning the phone or waiting until I can unlock the bootloader? TIA

I am having the same problem as you with my Mi9 very anoying works fine with the Hotspot shared from my Samsung S9+ but not all apps work via the home routers tried on 2 routers same thing MIUI update server is not reachable I also find Netflix doesn't work via home wifi from the MI9 but both Netflix and MIUI update work from the samsung phone hotspot netflix works fine from my other Android phones I own on my wifi though
Hope the fix this soon its very anoying.
Same problem for me : Wifi sharing is not working for all apps. It works for Chrome and Dropbox on my pc, but it seems some apps are not working. Those works with regular wifi. For exemple, nodeJS is not working fine.
Is the Mi9 blocking some ports ?
I got this problem too
I solve with set the hotspot band to fixed, 1 or 2.
But I have to set this every time I switch on hotspot.
Same problem
hi guys i m using the mi 9t and i have the same problem on 10.3.11, have you solved it or do u have any ideas on what is causing this stupid issue ?
happen to my mi9t today and i think it's kinda related to the co-ex problem between modem & wifi (problem not fix even rebooting the phone and restart wifi)
u can try the following step: settings-->wireless &networks --> more-->reset wi-fi,mobile &bluetooth
it works weel for me

WIFI problems with ASD9

Hi,
I have been having problems with wifi connectivity since ASD9. I'm connected to WIFI but chrome will say I'm offline for example and other apps won't see my phone as connected. Switching to 4G sometimes fixes the problem but often doesn't, it will still show as offline. Rebooting helps but that's not very practical. Before trying a factory reset I figured I'd share this here and see if anyone had the issue and found a fix that's less intrusive.
I have the same problem which is annoying. I found out that switching airplane mode on and off helps. Is there anyone else with same problem and updated to may patch? I wonder if its fixed.

I did a factory reset and the problem persists
Just an idea to isolate the problem, do you use adguard dns or something similiar?

None of those. I'm not rooted, no private DNS, purely stock software and no customizations. My 6T does not have this problem and this really started with the latest update. I have the same problem at work on the cafe wifi.
My wife and I are having wifi issues as well with certain apps. Tested my speed and was running 170 - 180 Mbps.
I was downloading files from my home server onto the phone this morning via WIFI and noticed it was rather slow. I was 20 feet away from my WIFI router tops (line of sight) and the phone was connected at 144Mbps. It usually is at 1054Mbps when I'm that close and only drops when I change floors.
I'm hoping this gets fixed quickly. I'm with Telus so unless they push an update, I don't really have options. I still have access to a Note 9, maybe I'll try a side by side comparison this week.
I'm hoping for a fix soon because not only does WIFI give me problems but battery doesn't seem to last as long as before.
I have problem with ASD9 on my at&t s10 plus. Just wondering about adding new ar emoji editor does work 4 u?
