Hello everyone,
Ever since I've upgraded my router from an old TP-Link (model TL-WR840N) to a Google WiFi mesh router my Pixel 5 (and also a 2 XL) have a spotty connection. With the old router no issues whatsoever.
They keep dropping offline and reconnecting after few seconds. Sometimes they are unable to join that network at all (I get the message "Unable to connect to this network" or "No Internet")
Every other devices on the network work fine, the issue is just with the Pixels.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
- Rebooted the network;
- Rebooted the devices;
- Toggled WiFi on/off;
- Reset network settings on the 2 XL;
- Use the device MAC address (instead of the random one);
- Set rating provided to "None"
Anyone else having similar issues with mesh routers?
Make a guest network on it and try that

Hi,
I recently upgraded to WM6.1 Rom and have several wireless Networks that i access in the same location.
I have noticed that it tries to connect to the strongest then will flip and try another without giving it sufficient time to receive an IP address.
Is there anything i can do?
Thanks
I have a similar problem.
1. I go to the comm manager and enable wifi
2. I go to Settings-> Wireless LAN
3. I get a screen that has:
SSID
an option to change the network
Mode
BSSID
Tx Rate
Rx Rate
Channel
signal quality
4. This screen will switch between showing the network that I am trying to connect with: SSID, mode, ESSID, and channel all filled in correctly as well the signal quality being almost 100% and no network.
5. It may be worth noting that when there is no network listed the channel changes.
6. I have tried rebooting both the phone and the router.
I am using the official WM6.1 ROM. I have tried WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK and I have double checked my key multiple times. I have tried configuring the phone to use TKIP and AES keys.
Does anyone have any ideas?
OK, I made a couple of changes but my current setup is:
WPA2
AES key
Wireless g/n mode
Dlink DIR-655 router
visible SSID
and everything seems to be working. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the passkey was bad originally although I had tried it a couple of times.
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 use an ASUS RT-N16 w/dd-wrt as my house router. I routinely have 4 devices on its wireless. This is the scenario (which has only just started happening recently):
my wife will connect her S5 to the WiFi at home
the S5 will report connected
every other device on the WiFi that is handy (haven't checked if it happens to my Roku) will be kicked off the WiFi
the S5 will be disconnected
I will have to manually reconnect my other devices, which report an "authentication issue"
The other devices in question are: my Optimus G, my Shield Tablet, our Acer Win8 laptop. Signal strength is not an issue. I have tried:
setting the S5's WiFi connection to our router to a static address
resetting the router to factory default
changed the channel on the router's WiFi
disabling the router's ACK timing
changed the router's WiFi mode to NG-Mixed
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Definitely one of the oddest issues I've ever had the "pleasure" of dealing with.

That is weird. I have all sorts of stuff connecting to my WiFi. I use a WD router that has worked extremely well. I would suspect something wrong with the router.
Sometimes routers go bad like any other computer part. Do you have another router to test with your setup?
Looked at some of the reviews of your model and some people had major problems. It has a two year warranty, perhaps get an RMA if still time left. Of course flash it back to stock.
I got the suggestion from elsewhere to create a guest network for her. DD-WRT's got the ability to create a fully isolated guest network, but I only had to create a new wireless vlan for her (bridged, even) & she's happily connected on her own little space (& I'm still happily connected on mine).
More of a workaround than a solution, but hey...
Nicely done.
Update!
My wife took her S5 w/her down to a girls' weekend getaway, & she had to turn off her WiFi while she was at the house because, you guessed it, she kept kicking every other client off of the network!
I'm happy at home w/her on a separate WLAN, but I really do wonder wtf's going on w/her phone...
I own an OnePlus 3T running Open Beta 8, and I've come across a rather strange problem with the Wi-Fi.
It is basically a problem with this one network. It has worked fine with all others I've had it on. It'll connect to the router but will have no Internet access, a Wi-Fi fixer tool I used reports Internet as disconnected and it also fails the DNS ping tests. When you connect after a while there'll be Internet access for a minute or so but then it disconnects again. What's interesting about this problem is, that other devices on this network lose their Internet connectivity as well. Upon disconnecting the phone, they regain Internet access.
I've tried all the standard fixes, resetting the router, resetting the phone -- which solves the problem for about a day or so but it comes back around. I've changed the IP to static and back. Assigned DNS manually. Even attempted creating a hotspot with another device connected to the network. And tried the WiFi Doctor app, but nothing has worked so far. This problem was also persistent in Open Beta 7
Hi together, i got my first onePlus this week.
basicly i really love it, but since the first day i am in struggle with wifi/internet issues.
I read already some Threads on this and other sites but i wans't able to Fixed the issue.
Now i didn't know how to solve the issue and hope one of your guys can help me to solve/localize the Problem...
At first i always lose the Connection, which could be solved by switching of the intelligent wifi (now i know, the wifi dropped because of the missing/slow inet Connection).
1. Problem Description:
the Oneplus is connected to wifi, but when i try to visit a Website or Open the AppStore the Internet Connection is verry slow, or not correct etablished. Sometimes, often after a Router restart or deleting the Oneplus from routers known device list, the Internet Connection via WiFi Works fo 1-15min.
2. Network Architektur.
OnePlus is connected to the Router (Fritz!box). The Fritzbox Works in client mode and gets the Internet Connection from lan 1 Port, which is feeed from a Radio Network (because we have a slow Connection i get Internet from a local Provider). the Fritzbox used 5ghz and 2.4ghz. the Last one is repeated by WLAN repeated(from avm too).
3. one plus os Updates:
- got Oneplus with Android 6!? but the Problem was present. (didn't Check oos Version because i thought an Update could fix the Problem)
- Update to oxygen os 4.1.6 (Android 7)
- Factory Reset because of the Problem
- flashed to Open Beta 10
4. what i have tried
-other devices
- on a Network from Family (with an other Router (from Telecom) and Simple Network complexity -> worked perfect
- remove repeated
- use only 2,4ghz and 5ghz
- changed WLAN channel (i have some 2.4ghz networks around me but nothing 5ghz, so this shouldnt be the Problem source).
- restart Oneplus and Router (which sometimes Works for some Minuten)
- configured Static ip on Oneplus (not possible in Router because client mode)
- Factory Reset
- perform wipe Cache
- flashed to newest Beta
5. What i want to try but where i was faced with other Problems:
- use ipv6 on Router,. not directly in client mode.
- root Oneplus to deactivate ip v6, not able to root, because OEM unlock doesnt Works (after entering Pin nothing happend, OEM is still locked).
i Hope somebody can help me or give me some Input.
best regards
