I've searched the forums for a similar issue with no luck, if anyone knows of a thread with a matching problem please provide a link.
My problem is that whenever I connect to my home network via wifi, I'm able to connect/disconnect a maximum of 3 times before wifi stops working completely. On the forth try, the phone will detect the network, try to connect and instantly disconnect. The only way I've been able to get wifi working correctly again is by rebooting the router, which also restarts the '3 connection' cycle.
I'm using a Netgear DG834G v2 and currently running Wolfbreak's latest version of CM6.1.3 but I've had the same issue with every other rom, including the official SE firmware, which leads me to believe that it is a router issue and not the phone itself.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In your phone, go to WiFi settings and press options button, then select "advanced", in wifi suspension politics (or something like that) select NEVER, then download and install Blade Wifi Fix from the market (i don't know what exactly does but it will prevent WiFi disconnections and it really works), and you can try using (optional) this app to connect to WiFi, if the problem still persists i would rather think it's a router issue or something ._.
CescVicious, thanks for your help. I tried both of those apps but my wifi continues to disconnect. I'm leaning towards it being a router issue more than the phone and have posted the problem on the Netgear forums.
Thanks again.

so... i search for wifi conections and i find the desired network, i then enter the correct wep password and press conect - it trys to connect for about 5 seconds and the says "disconected"
i have tried using the static ip address method- doesnt work
i have tried hard reset - doesent work
i have updated to 2.1 (about 3 times)- doesnt work
so any ideas?
i will also add that sony erricson support claim that this is not possible
Have you tried another network? Or reboot your router?

works well on one other network (and used to on this network!) - and yes rebooted but still not worked!
If it works on another network, i dont think its something wrong with your phone.
Try a few other hotspots
If you are using WPA then switch to WPA2 on your router!
I had a simular problem after going to 2.1 both on my mini pro and the ex's lg gt540, not sure what caused it, but reseting the router to factory and re entering all my settings fixed it for some reason
Use wep

I'm having a similar problem with my wife's x10mini. She has it for the past 6 months and has always been able to connect to our home router. Since 2 days ago she has been unable to see the router in her wifi settings and so unable to connect to it. The strange thing is that she can still see all of our neighbors wifi routers, just not ours, that is just 1m away.... I tried manually adding it but it says that the router is out of range.
I have gone through all router settings I can access and the phone still cannot see the router. I've even left the router wide open, without any protection whatsoever and the phone still couldn't see the router, despite seeing all other routers around.
Please give me some ideas to try. I've also formatted the phone and re-installed everything to no avail. I'm getting a bit lost now.
Maybe this can help someone else, my problem was solved by changing the router channel from Auto to Channel 10.
Maybe the router started using a channel that the phone couldn't see/use.

Maybe an complete reinstall of the base system would help also try simply turning on and off your wireless and see if it works
I also experience almost all of these bugs but turnin on and off my wireless fixed my problems

Hi, is anyone has the same problem? When I'm connected at home to my Tenda router (WIFI b/g/n) after cca 30 min. my phone WIFI stops sending and recieving data, Skype is offline, etc... but WIFI in phone is stil switched on. After I switch WIFI off and back on (on my Samsung, not on my router), everything works good for a while and after cca 30 min. is situation the same. Is there in Samsung any WIFI sleep mode or something like that? Or some settings, which is not visible? Any other suggestions? Sorry for my poor English. Thanx in advance.
I'm having the same problem. But I did a factory reset and it works fine afterward.
And just few hours ago, I encountered this problem again. What did to get this error was, I pressed "on samsungapps" and it failed to update and thus results wifi connection stopping. What about you? Also my Kies air is not working.
are you guys sure you have wifi sleep policy set correctly? just to be sure, settings, wireless, wifi, menu button, advanced, wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Yes. And also even if i manually disconnect and reconnect the wifi back. The data still doesn't come in. It is stated there as connected but no data at all.
Somehow Wifi keeps searching every few seconds, even thought it's connected.
This is bound to cost in battery life too.
I have reseted router to default settings, disabled n mode, disabled security (only mac filtering is on), disabled all unnecessary features and PROBLEM IS SOLVED !!! Thanx God Tomorrow I will experiment with router settings to know, what was causing this error ;-)
Well at least u're connected, I'm facing the same problem as the thread starter. No data flow at all. Browser showing me offline msg. I had the same problem on the 1st day with the phone after I woke up. previously playing with most of the default aps. So i'm not sure what went wrong, did a factory reset and it works fine.
Until, few hours ago, I tried my kies air which didn't work. Browser couldnt load the address given. And I thought i had an outdated kies air, so i went to click on samsungapps, which failed to update me. At that point the wifi is still working, i leave my phone for about 30 mins, and when i came back. The same problem which happened on the 1st day came back. I was hoping to find an answer here so I didnt do the factory reset it. On another note, the phone wifi works after restart, but wouldn't last.
Edit: The wifi works after i resetted my modem to default. oh well. at least that solved it.

Hi,
Did you find out what setting was causing the connection issue? I also have this problem with my Tenda router. I thought it might be the wireless N, but disabling that doesn't fix it. I have a wireless distribution system set up with other tenda routers so didn't want to disable all the settings to troubleshoot if i can help it!
Thanks

I have the same problem, my router is N and the conection between SGS2 and my router is bad. Any idea?
Same problem here, I'm running WZR-AGL300NH in access point connected to my Ubuntu Server. Everything else works in the house just fine but SG2 stops transmitting data after a while.
I recently upgraded to KF1 firmware (and unknowingly wiped out whole phone, being on the bleeding edge and that didn't seem to help.
I would very much appreciate all tips because this problem is very annoying!
Additional Info:
- Buffalo is running latest firmware
- Authentication WPA2-PSK
- Encryption AES

Same symptoms here. Cisco DDR2200. WPA2 PSK. Haven't tried fiddling with the router yet.
This seems to be a common problem. Anyone knows of a definitive fix?
Bump...I have the same problem and the issue persists even after i reset the phone

Glad I found this, thought it was the ROM I had flashed to the phone (which is VillainROM)
I keep losing connection from my phone via wifi like everyone else in this thread
edit: I've just assigned my phone an IP address via my routers settings and I can connect to the net again
Also when it wasn't working, I couldn't ping the phone. When I assigned the IP just now I still couldn't ping it.
When I did a tracert to it, I could get to it when the IP was assigned and when it wasn't.
I have no removed the assigned IP for the phone from the router. Wifi connection is still working after disconnecting/reconnecting wifi on the phone.
I can also now ping the phone, where as before it was getting timeouts.
Also when it wasn't working the first time when I did a tracert it was showing up as HPsomething (didn't make note of the numbers)
this time when it is working it's just showing up as the IP address when doing a tracert.
Another update:
Just checked my printer, it has an IP address manually set on it, which at one stage when the phone wasn't working for internet it had the same IP as the printer, hence when tracert'ing it I was going to the printer instead of the phone and getting the HP etc back.
When it wasn't working at that time and looking at my routers DHCP list, it had the MAC Address of the phone against the IP that the printer has....
So I've got some issues with how my own network is setup ^_^ which looks like is causing me grief.
So the issue is with DHCP? Setting a static IP fixes it? I'll have to try, but I doubt this is a problem with the network, as all my other devices use DHCP without this problem.
I have the exact same problem!!
It's really annoying.
i was having problems with wifi too.. it keeps scanning and checking, etc, signal dropping for no reason..
fixed mine..well for me it worked
backup ur phone ( i dont take responsibility if ur phone catches fire or dies or chases u around )
u need to be rooted
download FXR WiFi fix and rescue from market
and just run the app.
now my wifi signal stays constant speed and i get good speeds
alternatively try
WiFi Fixer
both of them will cause high battery usage..i think since it keeps the signal at maximum.. so only enable wireless when i need it or use juice defender or green power.
greenpower seems great. using this at the moment
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my wifi...
Here is the before: Wifi works about 70% of the time, occasionally the connection would be dropped (as in "no network access", it still said it was connected).
Here is what then happened (in that order): Wanted to find a less crowded channel and installed Wifi Analyzer. Quickly decided that Channel 1 would be cool, browsed to the router configuration on the Desktop machine (LAN connection), changed the channel. Back to home on Android (don't remember whether via the home or back button). Into settings to see whether I would have to rescan or whether it would pick up the change of channel itself. It couldn't connect... It scans and attempts to connect, but doesn't
What I tried:
I restarted the Galaxy. Still couldn't connect.
Deleted the connection and re-entered the passphrase. Still couldn't connect.
Uninstalled Wifi Analyzer. Still couldn't connect.
Restarted device again. Still couldn't connect.
(At some point during all this, probably quite early, the Wifi symbol also stopped showing up in the status bar. Doesn't appear no matter whether Wifi is on or off)
Switched back to the channel I came from. To no avail
Switched of encryption on the Wifi. Still to no avail
Any ideas as to what might have happened and, more importantly, how to fix it? As I said the connection itself has never been the most reliable, but this is a different league
Thank you everyone!

If you haven't tried it yet, reset your router. That fixes the majority of Wi-Fi issues out there. If that doesn't work, it may be your router itself. Certain routers have more issues with mobile phones than others.
You may want to go to a friends house and try connecting to his router and see if you can troubleshoot and isolate the issue. Either way, best of luck...

Damn you sitecom router!!!
Alright, one thing I hadn't tried until now was to restart the router. That fixed everything including (for whatever reason) the lack of the Wifi symbol!!
So if that is possible feel free to delete this thread! I didn't find the option anywhere...
Sorry for the unjustified disturbance

Hi i went from stock ics on my ray to cm9 by followingnexact step by step guide provided by cm9. Used their kernel as well. Have never modded my phone before. Having a small problem with wifi though. After my phone has been asleep for a while, if i wake it up the wifi icon in status bar is no longer blue its a dark grey and i can no longer browse anything or use the internet. Ive tried rebooting. I did the whole wipe cache etc when installing cm9. In wifi settings in advanced ive also left the setting to "leave wifi on when sleep" checked. If i turn off and on the wifi connection the phone ofcourse is able to reconnect again the icon is blue and i can connect. It not jsut a one off thing its been happening since i isntalled the rom.
If i wakek from sleep a few minutes later i have no issue with wifi. Its only when its been sleep for a while do i have this issue.
Any solutions?
I have the exact same problem but for me it's even bigger, whenever i turn on wifi on my modem, i can connect to internet on my phone, but after awhile i lose my connection completely, on my phone and on my pc also, the only way to get it back is to reset my router and wait for like 5-10minutes...

If its also an issue with your. Pc then your issue might be also the router.
My other devices actually work fine in my case its oky this phone that has issues. Macbook iphone ipad nexus s no problems with those.
Same issue here. I can see available networks but unable to connect. There should be no problem with the wifi router as all my other devices work well and I have tried another router. Now I have to flash back to stock firmware.

Your issue seems more severe than mine. Mine actually connects and works, just that when it wakes from long sleep it wont work until i turn off and on wifi.
I get this problem too, but my problem even worse than yours. My wifi lose it's connection after a while, but the icon on status bar shows it's connected, running ping test, browse, even play store can't be accessed. I pinged the router and got unreachable.
And yeah, this problem occurs when I'm using all ICS based rom..
Anybody has any idea if this is a known problem, or if its just us few having thisissue?

I have same problem. I have SE xperia mini with CM9. WiFi worked fine until yesterday. Now phone can't connect to AP (full signal - try connect -> signal drops down), but sharing 3G internet over WiFi works fine. I cleared dalvik cache, but that didn't help.
Dear All ,
I have been suddenly encountering wifi connection issues with my S3.
It refuses to connect to any router unless i am very near to it.
There is no problem with reception as the phone can detect the wifi and has 3-4 bars
If i try connecting while far away from the router to a detected network, it just gets stuck on "connecting.."
If i connect while near the router and then walk away, remains connected but I have no internet access..
Things I have tried:
1-cycling wifi on/off , reboot phone, reboot gateway
2-turning off wifi power saver from service mode *#0011#
3-flashing a different non stock rom after doing a wipe/factory reset.
4-searched extensively for three days with no avail
If any encountered such a problem before and was able to solve it, your help is highly appreciated.

I haven't encountered this specific problem before, but I have had other problems with my S3 and WiFi. It turned out the problem was my router, which was in 5ghz mode. If you have a 5ghz router, try to switch it to 2.4ghz.
Something else you can try is to change your modem and/or kernel. Those 2 both have something to do with WiFi, so maybe it'll work.
Again, I haven't encountered your specific problem myself, these are just some suggestions.

I'm having the same problem for about 2 months now, it's driving me crazy, if anyone knows how to fix this please let us know! Thank you in advance.
AS the guy above you suggested try changing your modem and if that fails try a new kernel which should sort out the problems you are having. Or as he also suggested try your router and make sure it isnt in 5ghz mode only.
Try logging into your router's configuration and changing the wireless network channel from auto to a manual setting (e.g. 9 or 3). The only wifi problems I ever had with my S3 were (misconfigured) access points and routers.
