Hi all
I rooted my NC a few days back, and it's working great. I'm able to connect to and use any wifi I find, (tried 3 unique locations successfully; 2 for 15 minutes a pop, 1 for about 2 or 3 hours) except for my home wifi It works about... 30% of the time. It seems to be totally random as to when it works. I use a DIR 615 at home, running WPA/WPA2 PSK.
It's not a problem with too many devices. I've run two laptops, a wireless 360, and 2 iphones all at once with no problems. Even when I power off the 360 and laptops and put the iphones on 3G I have the same issues with the NC.
Signal strength is also not an issue.
I've had it work for between 2 and 60 minutes at home, but most of the time it reads "Connected, but no internet."
Has anyone encountered this? Or have any idea what might be causing it?

I had a friend that had the same problem. He called bn support and they suggested they turn off n on the router and use b/g wireless only and it fixed his problem. I know not having n enabled maybe annoying but it was the only fix he colud find. Might be a router issue since he has the exact same router as you.
What version of the Nook Color firmware are you running? v1.0.1 has some wifi improvements, so it could potentially help.

I am on 1.0. To upgrade I just do a wipe of /system and /data via an 8 failed boots reboot, then update, then reroot with autonooter for 1.01 right?

On the router or on the nook?
Edit: And is this for all N routers, or just mine?
I also have a DIR-615 using N with wpa2 and I have no problems. My NC is 1.0.1 rooted with Autonooter..
I can say that the NC had a very decent wireless reception...
Maybe try another channel? Does your DIR-615 have the latest firmware?
I'm sorry, forgive my ignorance; how do I change channels?
The first thought that comes to my mind is: have you checked to see if there is upgraded firmware for your router?
I had no problems with a DIR614 at my sister's or either of the netgears I have at my own home.
The ONLY time I have had problems is when I was using the ad-hox fix script- something went slightly wrong for me and the infrastructure mode wouldn't stay connected to any wifi signal for long.
My solution has been to manually switch between wpa_supplicant files.
I also have the DIR-615, hw rev B2, fw 2.25 and ended up having to run WEP & b/g only as I found that with b/g/n enabled a b device would kick n devices off.
I didn't miss having n functionality, and had to have WEP as I have several devices that do not/cannot support WPA and are b only.
Also IIRC some hw variation of the 615 had various problems. I don't recall what they were offhand but a quick web search should turn something up. I only got this as I got it for a good price and ATT IIRC rev B2 hw was supposed to be OK...
I've run into a similar situation, running dd-wrt. I noticed that when a dhcp lease is created for my nook I get connected, no internet. I delete the lease and it works again.

I'd miss N for sure. I need N to stream 720p MKVs to my 360 Just in case I want to test that though, how would I go about disabling N on the DIR 615?
As a previous poster mentioned, i changed the settings on my router to b/g only and it fixed the connnectivity issues right away. I wasn't 100% keen on losing n to fix it, but it will do for now. I do get on to the wifi at my work and other places which i wouldn't be diabling n for any reason.
I am on 1.0.1 already and will try putting n back onto the router settings and see when i have some spare time.
I had "DIR-615" problems with WiFi for my Pandigital Novel. Until it just burn out. Well it was a $24.99 gamble of "open box" merchandize at Fry's 2 years ago, and it did work fine as is, just reflashed to the latest firmware. But it was before 615 become DD-WRT-able, and it didn't work for my PDN half the time anyway. So, I got me a Fry's FR-300RTR which is $29.99 rebrand of 615 (open boxes should be like around $15 or so, but there were none at the time.)
Long story short, I put DD-WRT on it, procedure is in the regular DD-WRT forum for Fry's router 95% of the way. The remaining and quite important 5% is in my blog http://fineoils.blogspot.com, enjoy.
For both PDN and Fry's routers to work stable on 802.11n, I used (it's also quite important, as I didn't find anybody else mentioned these) wireless basic settings like:
AP (don't use the "Router" unless you have another "gaming" router for $180 or so in your network(s), but then you don't need this cheapo device in the first place, right?)
NG-Mixed (I'd be working on pure N, but have couple of ancient b/g laptops, plus throaway dumb phone, I'm a cheap skate, as you can see, lol)
Full (20 MHz) (don't go for 40/20, or Turbo, or whatever if you have too many phones around -- which is usually the case today)
Auto (but the actual channel is "1", as it's less crowded in my area; so first scan your area and choose whatever you like more, 3 or 4 APs on your best channel compared to 8-10 on a default channel)
[whatever]
[whatever]
[Advanced Settings] should be left default, OFF, without mark in the box (one may spend a lot of time trying to improve something instead of reading one's nookbooks; I tried a little, had some problems, turned it OFF, and everything goes OK.
Replace all "regular" 2.4 GHz "wireless" phones in your household for the 5GHz ones, as long as you don't use BT/tethering, don't use your cell phone too close to your NC.
Use default 20db gain, it's just fine. This cheap piece starts to overheat even on default signal level, so consider voiding the warranty on your 615 or Fry's and set some heat sink like it's shown in my article. The picture shows a different router (and with some other weird mods), but you get the idea.
On less than 15% of battery charge, there might be some problems with WiFi (and I yet to see someone finding what is a default NC transmission level, and if it's 100%, I'd rather play with 20....40% instead and see what happens).
However, on a deplete battery there's lots of other things that may become dysfunctional.
Firmware did not help. Looks like I've fixed it by replacing my router. Thanks, boxing day! Using a DIR 825 now.

Look. What I proposed is using DD-WRT on DD-WRT-able D-Links. Which, in their original form (firmware), are either lower than average, or barely average routers in terms of throughput/throughput stability, stress under the load of multiple hosts/DNS/wired&wireless combinations/wireless signal attenuation, and overall QoS/load balancing, or lack of it. Then, many ISPs tend to shape traffic dynamically and drastically when observing some bursts of traffic on some ports (think P2P). D-Link devices do not like that. So no wonder they are cheapest on the market (seems like TRENDnet junk might be cheaper, but these just don't work stably even under low loads).
DD-WRT on 615 helps to alleviate many of most acute problems described above. Sure, one can decide like swapdotavi to put up extra $80...$100 and buy DIR-825 with twice RAM and 60 % faster processor, but guess what: it has a commercial version of DD-WRT as its firmware

Your advice seems very applicable. I wanted to test the easy fix (firmware upgrade) first before I started deciphering your post which, honestly, went way over my head. I didnt mean to overlook your post or anything; your advice seems valuable.
By the time I found out my lazy firmware upgrade didnt work my girlfriend was so fed up with the outages I was causing by constantly rebooting and playing with the router that she dragged me out to look at boxing week sales and bought the 825 herself. I wasnt about to stop her
I was simply presented with an easier option is all.

Ever tried to reboot your GF?
Jokes aside, your brand spank new 825 should have a commercial DD-WRT distro on it, and for it to show best possible wireless performance (like in: overall throughput, load balancing, QoS, filtering of cell and other parasite interference/frequencies), you may want to look at my first post for 6 or so basic wireless parameters that I have found useful for use 2 tablets, 2 laptops, and 2 wired PCs in my household, porch, and backyard.
Sure it should work fine out of the box (unlike 615), but it takes some effort and play with a router when tuning your NookColor for predominant usage of 802.11n
If problems arise still, try to touch your router at its different outer body parts and check their temperatures. These should be mildly warm, anything hotter requres a trip to the shop for the replacement.
Not yet rooted Nook would refuse to stay connected, but dropping wireless N worked like a charm. All of the devices in the house are using G anyhow, side for a laptop, so this worked great.

I have the impression that Dlink don't actually make their own hw, and possibly even their own firmware as IIRC even with the 6XX series of routers they went through SEVERAL various CPUs and fw variants in those routers. e.g. IIRC the 615 had 3 different hw variations and 3 different fw families...
Back when I got it there was no choice other than stock fw and possibly one of their betas, and at that time it was one of the better performing routers in that price range overall, or more specifically the rev B2 hw variant...
Disabling N: it's in one of the router setup pages... probably have to use the manual setup rather than their "wizard", which is what I always do anyways...
Hi guys,
I'm on my third HTC One, and all three of my One's experienced this issue. Basically when at home on my HomeHub 3, if I download something large (take Angry Birds for example) the Wi-Fi will drop out. It WILL reconnect immidiatley, but it keeps stopping downloads and sometimes the downloads don't continue and so I have to monitor everyhing that is downloading. It seems fine when Web Browsing etc, but when downloading thats when issues kick in. I'm using a laptop, iPad and Xbox and none of those are having these issues, it's just the One. I was in the Trafford Centre earlier doing lots of downloading though and there wasn't a single issue.
Just wondering if it's a problem with the Hub or a driver issue?
Mike.

I also have this issue. One thing you could try is change the frequency to 2.4ghz or 5ghz instead of auto. Hoping it's just a driver bug. I'm using wpa 2 security on my wireless at home. I haven't checked to see if WiFi drops out at my office which is wep I believe.

I have heard of people having issues with HH3 on Android before. I'm trying to find the post but no luck. I think it had something to do with the HH3 default setting for channel selection. With it set to Auto, Android phones were having problems. I would first try logging into your router and changing the channel selection from Auto to a free channel. Use the Android App WiFi Analyser to find a clear channel. Also avoid using channel 13.
Having trawled through the interweb to try and track the issue down, the route cause seems to be the firmware in the HH3 is a steaming heap. You are probably best sacking it off for your own router. I'm having all sorts of problems with my Virgin "Superhub" as they keep pushing updates to it without warning, which resets all my security and settings to default! The only reason I've not gone back to my custom DD-WRT Linksys WRT160NL is that it is buried in my attic somewhere and I just know in will be in the bottom of the last box right at the back....
Just received my One in the mail today. After connecting to my home WIFI I started experiencing connectivity issues with all devices on my network. This thing is constantly pinging I/O. Screen shot of my bandwidth monitoring graphs from DDWRT'd router attached. When I turn it off I get great speedtest.net results and a quiet flat line on my monitor graphs. Turn WIFI on the phone back on and the graph lights up and speed tests take a dump. Any ideas?
my roommate's iphone5 does this, but it's intermittent. I'll be playing BF3 and notice lag spikes all of sudden. That's how I always know he's either home or connected to Wifi. Doesn't always happen though.
this has been constant since I turned it on at 3 PM today
My LTE did this to my network too, fixed it by putting in a $1200 Checkpoint security appliance lol, been running this way for about 3 months no issues. Somewhat of temp solution, but one of the benefits of working It, have to return to company. Still have not had time to dig deeper, just needed fixed ASAP due to fiancé getting frustrated that Internet always going down.

not a router issue. as of this morning I have powered off all other connected devices and was able to produce the same issue. Having constant I/O activity from a particular device is not indicative of a router issue. Something in the phone, service or app, is constantly pinging.

just went out and bought a Linksys EA6500 HD Video Pro AC1750. Issue remains. As I suspected, not a network infrastructure issue. Now I need some input as to what phone services might be the culprit. Installed a data monitor app and have no fruitful information to share from that either.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I bet if you have the Asus RT-AC66U you wont have any problems. It's $200 but man is it a beast. Plus it has AC and so does your new phone so I suggest it. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and I love it. Allows me to have a network printer now and my repeater for my PS3 doesn't lose any signal strength at all. I get 45mbps from LAN and 45mbps from wifi and 45mbps from my repeater on LAN and wifi. Everything is at max.
Great router and I am always happy to promote a great product.
Just grab a copy of wireshark, install on a laptop or pc and filter out your cell to determine what its doing. Shouldn't frame you more than 5 mins.

***UPDATE***
After the initial WIFI issues I had were inexplicably resolved with a hard reset, I ended up having a dead pixel and had the device replaced.
The replacement device was great out of the box, from approximately April 25th to May 6th. Yesterday, May 7 2013, I had a notification for an update to "Sprint Zone." I allowed the update. Upon the completed installation of the Sprint update my WIFI issues returned. I uninstalled all Sprint related services I could and stopped the ones I could not. Still the WIFI issue remained. I once again was only able to remedy the problem with a hard reset. There is obviously an issue with the relationship between Sprint software and the WIFI hardware, and it is not isolated to a particular device. The device was brand new at the time of my original post and has since fallen off the first few pages that get trolled. We are nearing one month in service of this device and I can't believe that I am the only one to have experienced it.
I want to know....
I am having this issue as well.
Really shouldn't have switched to Sprint as I am in LA and wow, the network is trash compared to Verizon over here. Unusable in most areas.
Anyway, rooted, on d3rpone , 4 different releases of it, same wifi issue.
I was getting the issue stock as well.
Still trying to analyze when it takes place.
A couple of quick ideas: First, you might want to see if whether it's specific to 2.4 or 5 gHz bands. I expect not, but worth looking. Also, maybe try disabling notifications in Sprint Zone -- maybe the stupid thing is phoning home a lot? Once you're sure you don't have a hardware problem, you might also want to consider unlocking and running Viper - that decruds a lot.

Thanks for the input. I will be switching to Viper if I have the issue again.

not a router issue. problem persists in any wifi environment i log in to.
I can't seem to find a fix anywhere for this. There have been issues with older phones having this problem, and there's usually a wifi module you can flash that fixes it, or a terminal command.
I have an 802.1x network (hidden SSID) at work that I was able to connect to until last week. I talked to IT about it, and naturally, the iPhones don't have any issues connecting, so it "works". For me, it just says "Connecting", then quits. It'll loop a few times and nothing. The server isn't even generating an event that I'm trying to connect at all, so it seems to be a problem even getting a handshake with the AP.
Anyone have this problem with the Note 4 and know how to fix it?

No, it started happening after using an older version of the ROM for several months with no issues. I did a complete wipe and installed the new version to see if that would fix it, but it didn't.
Only thing I can say is try flashing a stock rom and see if issue goes away. U can also ask the Dev if he mod anything to affect that. Also make sure smart switching is off
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I remember having this happen once on my home network. Wasn't with the note 4 as this was maybe a few years ago. Regardless, the issue was with the network and a complete power cycle of all my network devices cleared the issue for short periods. A complete reset up of the network was needed. Not sure what changed with everything locked down, but reused the same SSID and no trouble. All same setting as before.
I remember the same frustration as I had an Xbox, ps3, windows and Mac computers and other users with iPhone/ipads with no trouble. Was just my samsung
android device.
I am not sure why, but my android phones from Samsung have always been picky as can be with WiFi. They always have far worse signal than almost any other device I own and do some weird stuff sometimes. I've had the SIII, Note 2, 3, and 4.
I've had more generations of apple phones than Samsung phones and never the same amount of WiFi issues from apple. Not sure what the deal is, just something I've come to take for granted.

I've seen all the problems about Lollipop and Wifi not connecting. However, my problem is different. I connect just fine AND I'm getting 31 ms ping, 60mbps down and 12mbps up. However, my internet browsing is slow, Facebook is slow, you tube is slow. Pretty much anything I need is slow except that my e-mail comes in, although if I need to synch anything, but my inbox (because that's pushed) it's slow as well. Even the speed test takes a while to load up, but when it does these are the results I get. The only solutions I find are about problems not connecting to the internet. Even that being the case I tried those remedies with no luck. Also my wife who just got a Moto X has the same problems. Hmmm both phones are made by Motorola I'm wondering is this is a coincidence. I should say I wasn't having these problems a few weeks ago they just kind of started and my wife had a Moto G that didn't have these problems. This combined with bluetooth issues is making it very hard for me to keep believing in Android as much as I want to. Any thoughts or help on this is greatly appreciated.

All other devices such as my laptop, roku box and other smartphones don't have these same issues on my wifi. As far as using other wifi' with my smartphone it varies - some are good and some are not. Which makes me think it's having trouble with certain routers or their settings.

I've already tried all the suggestions. However, I can't adjust other routers that I don't have control over. So it's frustrating that it doesn't work better on more routers.
btw, what kind/brand of router are you using? maybe someone is using the same or similar that can give some advice.
I am seeing the exact same thing on a used Nexus 6 that I just picked up. It seems to only happen (so far) on my work's WiFi, although even that just started within the past couple of days. It works fine on the WiFi at home.
Since I purchased the N6 to use with Project Fi which relies heavily on WiFi, this is putting a serious damper on things.
I'm looking for any suggestions or even just confirmation that me and jdekoven aren't the only ones.
I have the same problem with my Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, all on either 5.1 or 5.1.1. It happens on my home Comcast X1 router/cable modem. It is not a problem with my Chromebook or Windows 7 PC.
It is not a problem at my office which has an Asus router and Cox cable modem.
This problem appeared recently, definately since 5.0, but maybe more recently (especially the Nexus 6, which I have only noticed the problem for a week or 2), and is only a problem for me on my home Comcast network.
I've had this same issue for a few days now. Just plugged my Asus router into the Xfinity box and once setup, WiFi is perfect using the other router. I'm assuming its due to background updates in the Xfinity box not playing nice with the phone. Dunno. But swap routers if you can.

I've already tried all the suggestions. However, I can't adjust other routers that I don't have control over. So it's frustrating that it doesn't work better on more routers.
