Hi, I hope there are some experts here regarding wireless connections here.
Whenever I connect with my OP3T (OOS Beta6) and supposedly strain the connection by downloading stuff in games, my connection gets lost, and every other PC/notebook will won't have connection either anymore until I reset the Wlan signal on the router.
I tried to use a wifi analyzing tool, switched channels, doesn't help. It only supports 2.4Ghz also, maybe a factor?
On the phone, I activated detailed protcolling and always get following statements.
Code:
network_selection_disabled_association_rejection =2
network_selection_disabled_authentication_Failure =2
network_selection_disabled_association_rejection =1
What's the issue? Is the Router too weak, or what can I do with the OP3T to not kill the Wlan?
It's really annoying, I cannot really use Wifi with the phone.
Oh, additional info: So far it is just a game, Real Racing 3, which kills my router.
When downloading apps from Google Playstore or testing the internetspeed, everything is fine.
This is not the phone that's causing it, rather some strange bug with your router. It only has 2.4GHz? You probably should get yourself a more modern router in that case.

Well, I am in the process of upgrading to 802.11n routers. At my family's place this turned to be a Linksys WRT160N, here at home it's a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH.
With both routers, I am having trouble establishing reliable connections. I've been looking a bit more into it with my Buffalo router: the phone connects to the WLAN, but finally, varying from a few seconds to several minutes, i receive timeouts resulting in UnknownHostExceptions. Toggling wifi will restore connectivity, just to run into the same problem again.
I have had no problem with my Linksys WRT54G, nor with any other devices in my place (two 802.11n devices, a MacBook Pro and an AppleTV). There's also a Wii (802.11g/b?!) and an HP 2133 (802.11n) I haven't tried yet.
The Buffalo router operates on a custom Linux, 40MHz bandwidth, WPA2/AES in the 2.5MHz spectrum, 3 Antennas, 300MB (mimo).
All in all, googling makes me believe that a fair amount of people have problems in similar settings, but none of what I found could point directions into a solution.
Router setup is not the issue (i have been able to reproduce in two totally different setups that work with any other devices I have tried). Neither do I believe that a mix of 802.11g and 802.11n devices necessarily causes these kind of problems (at my family's place a 802.11g imac works flawlessly alongside of my 802.11n MacBook in an 802.11n network).
I am attaching a logcat that I captured while producing the problem. It only illustrates the problem a little.
In the end, probably the broadcom WLAN chip/driver gets stuck at one point and android cannot do much against it. If this is the case, posting a bug report against google/android open source developers probably won't help much, as it seems to be an issue of the driver/wifi chipset combo HTC/TMo uses in the G1.
If you agree on this, in the end I am looking for a way to file a bug report either at htc or t-mobile, but contrary to Android/Google, I haven't found anything on the net that I can file a bug report into... 1.0 companies *sigh*
What other ideas do you have? While I could leave the G1 just on 3g while at home, I don't have reception in every corner and the whole point of having it is being online essentially most of the time in order to catch my mail (it is set to keep wifi on while charging).
Regards
Interestingly, if I start streaming after connecting to WIFI, like speedtest or YouTube, the connection stays alive for the time being...
Hi folks !
Recently I started to experience some troubles using my WiFis connections. The problem is simple, the connection drops, the WiFi network disappears from all the devices, and a few seconds later it comes back.
At first I thought it was a problem with the router of my work. But then I started to experience the same things at home. Then I decided to test the WiFi without connecting my Razr i to it and it worked like a charm. Now, as soon as I connect my Razr i to a WiFi, it crashes a few seconds/minutes later and keep doing it until I disconnect my phone from the WiFi.
Did someone experience the same thing ? Have you any idea for solving the problem ?
Thanks anyway.
PS : I only use 5Ghz WiFis. I'll try with 2.4 soon but the 5Ghz compatibility was one of the reasons why I bought this phone...
We have also issues with our WLAN at home, which is sometimes (but not always) very unstable in connection with a Samsung 5 Laptop (regular reboots shortly after activating the laptop Wifi).
I did not experience this problem yet with my Razr i, but I will keep it in mind over the next days (we have a complex setup with several computers, phones and Android entities based around a Fritzbox 7390, so error identification and validation takes very long and is not finished yet).
BTW - if you look for help here, please specify your WLAN router in detail as well as your provider and general IT-setup.

Well ! Thanks for the reply.
My router that provides the two WiFis is a Cisco Linksys WRT61N.
My setup is kinda complex but works well. Got another router provided by my ISP, which is the DHCP server. This router is connected to a port of the WRT61N switch. Not to the internet port. Every connection that enters in the ISP router goes to the Linksys, and then is NATed by it. I don't think those informations are very relevant but anyway here they are. That's a complex setup but it works well (needed to do that because I have cable connection, and the cable modem/router have very limited configuration).
The devices that use my two WiFi are :
2.4Ghz : My Razr i right now.
5Ghz : Two iPads, and the HTC 8X of my girlfriend.
I made some other tests, one the Razr i there is an option for switching on or off a kind of network frequency. So instead of both enabled, I enabled only the 2.4Ghz WiFi frequency and connected my phone to my 2.4Ghz WiFi. No problems detected. Stable connection. Right now I'm at work, and everything works well in 2.4Ghz. So there is clearly a problem with the 5Ghz frequency on my Razr i.
Anyway, during those tests, I discovered something very interesting. My battery life had a huge improvement with the desactivation of the 5Ghz WiFi frequency.
Thanks for the details - especially on the 2.4/5 GHz topic.
I am also at work right now, but will check it at home and keep you posted.
WPA2
I had the same problem, I think it was triggered everytime the phone went to "sleep". It was changing the security encryption that fixed it for me. I can't remember what i had on the router as default, and I'm not at home right now to check what I'm running, but I believe it's WPA2. After the change, I had no trouble whatsoever. Hope this helps, good luck!
EDIT: nevermind what i said, i just logged into my router and remembered it wasnt the encryption type settings, but rather the wifi standard used, it used to be 802.11 b+n+g, and now i got it sitting at 802.11 b+g, which equals to 2.4 GHz. Meaning the razr has apparently a problem with the 5 GHz spectrum..
I too have a RAZRi which is connected by wi-fi at home to a Fritz!Box 7390. I noticed that when the RAZRi went into sleep mode with wi-fi connected (keep wi-fi on setting) it would have lost any internet connection on waking, requiring a disconnection/reconnection to reset. More annoyingly there was also a loss of connection (IP address) at laptops also connected to the router by w-fi on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections, which needed a reboot of either the PC or the router to re-establish a connection. The router GUI would show them all as remaining connected.
By using the manual setting on the router to restrict 2.4GHz connections to b+g (not b+g+n), it looks so far as though both problems are avoided, and the RAZRi can be set to use either the available 2.4GHz or 5GHz (a+n) connection on the Fritz! successfully without problems. EDIT big problem is though that disabling "n" on 2.4GHz seems to cause wi-fi throughputs to crash by more than 50% on both frequencies (which for me negates the benefit of having VDSL) - they recover if I re-enable, but then the lockups start if the phone is connected. A hobsons choice.
Thanks guys.
I need to find an app that will log when my phone is connected to a wifi and when it is connected to at&t.
My Exede internet provider claims that I have a solid connection, yet, my phone spends a lot of time on AT&T connection while I am within range of my home router. I will also find a program that will work on windows and plug a laptop directly into the modem so I can eliminate router problems.
Thanks

You don't need a program to do that, you need a length of Ethernet cable with connectors on the ends. Unless your laptop is really old it has an Ethernet jack. Just plug the cable into that, and plug the other end of the cable into the modem. Or plug it into one of the connectors on the router if it's just a wifi issue. You have 3 options - wifi, Ethernet connection to the router or Ethernet connection to the modem. Windows will grab an IP address from the router if you're doing it that way (wired or wifi) or from your provider (if you connect to the modem). How connecting the laptop to the modem will eliminate problems with the phone is something I'm confused about, unless you're going to use the laptop as a wifi hotspot for the phone. That's a program I can't help you with. I did an exhaustive search for that kind of setup about 2 years ago, and there was no cheap way to do it. (There's a company that has a box and software, but if you think a Note 3 bought outright is more than pocket change ... $5,000? $6,000? Something in that neighborhood.)
As far as your other problem - the phone not getting wifi from your router? (Whether your internet connection to the router is solid or not has nothing to do with whether the phone is connecting to the router via wifi. I can connect to a wifi router that's not connected to the internet at all. It'll cause "unable to connect" type messages from every app that needs an internet connection, but it'll still be connected to the router.
So, there are a few things you need to figure out. Try Data ON-Off, a free app for the phone. That will allow you to turn your AT&T (3G/4G) data off so, good signal from wifi or not, your phone won't use AT&T.
Use Wifi Analytics (another free app) to ssee what's going on there. If there a few wifi signals on the same channel as yours, you may be getting so much interference that the phone can't see your router's signal and drops that connection. (Changing channels on the router depends on which router you have, but it's in the wifi section and it's simple - usually just a dropdown for channel number. Wifi Analytics lists the channels as poor, good and best based on what signals are on what channel. Use one of the ones marked best, or at least good.)
It also depends on what's between you and the router. In my last house, if I was on the deck and someone turned on the microwave, I lost the internet. The physical path from my seat on the deck to the router passed right through the microwave. Little metal box, not much signal loss. But when it was running it wasn't a little metal box, it was a huge 2.4GHz transmitter, transmitting (as far as wifi is concerned) garbage and noise. I didn't mind 30 or 60 seconds of loss of signal, I'd just refresh the page when the microwave was done. But my wife, who plays WoW, would want to get safe before I ran the microwave. 5 seconds of no signal and you can get killed there. (She may be the only player ever on WoW who died when she was dead. Something like she got killed PvP at the edge of a lake, fell in and drowned. Drowned while she was already dead.) If the path from your phone to your router is through a lot of walls, that's a problem too. Each piece of sheet rock only absorbs a little signal, but a few walls together can kill it. Same thing if the path is through a large piece of metal, like a refrigerator. Or if your router antenna is vertical and you're on the floor above it. (Antennas shoot at right angles to their axes.)
This is the kind of thing that drives microwave engineers mad. If you're going for minimum power needed for the path loss, and you didn't notice that tree in the path in December, come May when the tree has leaves you lose the signal, and thousands of customers scream. Oops. (It's also why some satellite TV systems don't work very well when it's pouring rain. They didn't calculate the additional path loss. "It never rains, does it?")
But understand, the strength of your internet signal (Exede to your modem) has nothing to do with the strength of the signal from your router to your phone over wifi. Think of a radio station. The announcer is so close to the mic that his lips are touching it, and he's shouting. But you're MANY miles away and can barely hear the station through the static. Or, the other way around, you live right near the transmitter, but the announcer is in the room next to the mic and he's mumbling. In each case one part of the "signal path" (which included announcer to mic and transmitter to receiver) is good but the other one isn't. Your Exede to modem path is good, but something between there and the phone is bad.
So if you still want to use wifi from your router, you may now have enough information to figure out why it's not solid connection, and maybe enough to change what needs to be changed to make it work. (Moving 2 feet left [or whatever] may be enough to increase the signal enough to give you a solid connection on wifi if, looking from where the phone isn't working well to the router [with X-Ray eyes], you see a refrigerator or something..)
Thanks very much for the in depth reply.
Unfortunately I was not very clear with my question.
I have not had any problem with my router talking to my cell phones or with my laptops through LAN.
I have an intermittent connection to the internet.
Originally, my router was hooked up to an ADSL modem. Everything worked great.
Had to change providers to Exede (Sat. dish Internet provider)
Started having intermittent connection to the internet. (Not weather related)
Exede tells me that they do not show any dropped connections to their modem.
When I disconnect from Exede, and hook back up to the ADSL, the intermittent connection problem to the WAN goes away and works as it should.
Looking for an app for my cellphone that will log when the phone changes from access to internet through my LAN, to access through AT&T.
Also, I am looking for a shareware/freeware program for my laptop that will log when its internet connection is dropped.
Thanks
helloo is any1 here experiencing any wifi unstable connection? my wifi is really unstable sometimes cant even go to google...
Yes, I am having issues too. Initially thought it was an issue with my wireless router, so I bought the new Google OnHub, just to have the exact same issues. I installed Fing on my phone and tried pinging the router. I got extremely high pings times and lots of time outs. What's odd is if I have a ping going from other wireless devices (laptops\phones) to the router, as soon as I enable the wifi on my Note 5 and connect to the same SSID, they all begin experiencing high ping times and time outs. As soon as I disconnect or disable the wifi on my Note 5, all of my other wireless devices function properly. This occurred on both my original TP-Link WR1043ND and the new Google OnHub.
The wireless on my phone does seem to work correctly when connected to an unsecured SSID or one utilizing WEP. WPA2 seems to be when the issue occurs. However, my wife has the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (same internals as the Note 5) and has no issues on the WPA2 SSID. This is extremely frustrating.
I get really slow speed using WiFi. LTE connection I get no issues with apps like YouTube, the Play Store, Chrome, Gmail. Over WiFi, it just lags like it's on a dial up connection. Run multiple as speed tests, download speed is around 90+ MB/SS in the app. So I don't know what gives. VZW use, note 5, 32GB,Blue.
Hi everybody,
When i'm on my home Wifi network, i've tryed 2,4ghz & 5ghz bands, a static ip adres, changed various DNS servers. I tryed a full system reset.
Surfing, checking twitter or anything else loading does go very slowly or sometimes takes 15/20 second before the connection pics up. It looks like the connection goes in battery save mode or something like that. When i'm on LTE there are no problems.
I have a Huawei P20 pro for a month now and been never able to get a stable wifi connection only on my home wifi router. First i had a TP-Link Touch P5 router and second a TP-link Archer C3150. I've downloaded all updates on the P20 and on the routers. Other phones, like the Galaxy S8 or a tablet function without any problems. When i use my phone on any other wifi router but my own, there's also no problem with the wifi connection.
I googled the combination of my routers and the P20 for any wifi stability problem but can't find anything similair to my problem.
Anyone has some suggestions to help fix this very annoying problem?
Thank you,
Ron.
I'm having a similar problem here. 5ghz wifi comes to a crawl of max 10mbps down where is I usually get 200. It's only this device.
Basically when it first connects to the network it's finr, but after a wee while it comes to a crawl. Have tried configuring pretty much everything. My modem is a NetComm wireless nfv18ac
I have the same issue on p40 pro.

Since you are saying that it happens only on your home WiFi I would assume it has nothing to do with the smartphone, but with the router configuration.
Do you have some kind of QoS/bandwidth limit configured on the router? Do you have a lot of devices connected? It's a bummer, but maybe try factory reset on the router (save config somewhere before that).
