I'm experiencing similar issues after I took the 4.4.2 update, and now previously stable wifi access points are not very unstable, I have great signal strength but it wont pass data and I get that stupid connection is unstable message. This is ridiculous, and this is a fully clean factory defaulted install.

Don't recall the exact names...
But have you tried disabling " avoid poor connections" and set to " auto " band or maybe even try just the " 2.4" band to see what happens.
Personally i turn all those silly wifi extra features off . worth a try

I got my VZW S4 to stop throwing that error by assigning a static IP to it. So instead of my router assigning a new IP address every time the S4 connects, it always connects with the same IP. No more of that "internet unstable" error since doing that.
Worth a try.

Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4um-AqLk1jw
Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.

If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!

Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

Is NOT the phone.
i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

Problem had never occurred when I used only 3G. That was my workaround when I got fed up with it before I dropped the wifi security.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
[my apologies in advance if there's a thread on something like this already - the XDA forum search function was not working this morning]
I've got a sort of bizarre problem that I cannot sort out.
We have an open wi-fi network at work which I've been connecting to with my Inc4g [not rooted, still running stock everything] since last summer. At some point in December, though, I stopped being able to connect to it. Here's where it gets weird:
A) My other co-workers with various other kinds of phones have not noticed any change or disruption with the work wi-fi,
B) I brought my old 2010 Incredible to work the other day and it had no trouble immediately connecting to the wi-fi network, and
C) My Inc4g still connects to our wi-fi network at home with no issues
So it is very specifically an issue with my Inc4g connecting to my work's open wi-fi.
When I toggle my wi-fi on, this is exactly what happens:
1) it sees the saved network
2) it then just constantly goes back and forth between "saved" and "connecting"
3) it also occasionally flips wi-fi off entirely and briefly displays the "to see available networks, switch on wi-fi" message... but then it flips wi-fi back on and goes back to #2
It shows signal strength for the network as poor if I look at the modify network menu, but that seems unlikely given A and B above. I have also tried telling it to forget the network and rescan, but that does not change anything. I have NOT asked firm IT about whether they changed anything with our routers, but it seems like that should not be the issue.
Any thoughts or suggestions???
Thanks for reading the tl;dr if you made it this far.

Whoops -- forgot to add that info -- not rooted.
Started the unlock process with htcdev back in July literally hours after they shut that down (when folks did not even realize they had shut it down) and then never got around to tinkering after that. Most recent software update was Oct. 2012.
Might as well also add --
Not only does my phone connect successfully to WiFi at home, but it also connects to my open work network when upstairs in our cafeteria (obviously via different router).
It just doesn't work in my specific place in the building. It presumably has to do with the router near my workstation. From the exact same location, various other Android phones and iPhones all connect without issue. It's driving me nuts.

That is truly bizzare.
When you try and "forget" the network, does it disappear from the list? But the problem returns when you try to reconnect, or does it never leave the list?

Yeah, it's gone from the list of networks when I tell it to forget. If at home, it stays gone. And if at work, it only reappears when it rescans for available networks.
I'm sort of tempted to just factory reset at this point, but don't feel like losing all my settings/apps/etc.

For some reason I am unable to connect to my home WiFi network. It acts as if it is about to connect by saying authenticating and then stops and does not connect act all. Then after if I try to connect to the network again it says "Failed to connect to network". I have noticed this has happened to me before when I flashed the Viper ROM so I just went back to stock. I do not know why this issue is occurring.
Try fixing permissions in recovery. This appeared to work for me.
Something else to check is the setting called "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep": System Settings --> WiFi --> Menu --> Advanced. Try a different setting and see whether that works.

WPA2 on both home and work routers. That's not the issue for me. It seems that when I try to connect manually, it fails. When Android connects by itself, it usually succeeds.

Try looking at your router logs when the error happens to see why it's not authenticating. Try rebooting your router.

So what youre gonna want to do is open your logs, clear them, try to connect on your phone, then look at your logs to see if the router even sees the attempt. It should show any errors as well.
What does your phone do when you try to connect?
edit: couple more questions...can anything else connect to your router? Also, your router is also a firewall. When you log in you might try and disabling the firewall feature altogether and try connecting.
I'm gonna try the logs now, and yes 3 computers are connected wirelessly. Also the phone says connecting...then says authenticating problem. I know my password is correct for sure. I'll check the logs now

Thats strange. Your router *should* be logging auth issues.
Have you tried forgetting your wifi network on the phone and reconnecting as new? And yourer showing password to make double sure its correct? If it is, the auth issue is probably a security mismatch. Router set for WAP, youre trying to connect with WPA2, etc. Double check your router how auth is set up.

Can your phone connect to other routers/AP's using the same encryption? Or do you know? Possible your keys are corrupt.

Have you updated the firmware in your router? If so, check to see if there is any new firmware. Also what is the bit length of your passphrase? 8 or more characters. I would also have your encryption set to WPA 2 with AES not TKIP. Also try setting the channels from auto to a fixed channel, start with 1 and go from there.

Changed it to AES, already updated firmware and passcode is good. It's crazy because I went to my gf house and connected to her router instantly.

Then it is some issue with your router, time to buy a new one. Only other thing I would suggest is hard reset the router, reset it up and try a 10 digit passprase with all numbers

I got my HTC One today and I have exactly the same router and I have exactly the same problem. Old LG 2X would connect like lightning. Tried different encryption, reset router multiple times, nothing.
Sorry if it is an old thread. sorry for bump.
I also had this "Authentication Problem" issue on my HTC Pico a few days ago.So,I also tried restarting my router, changing password and stuff like that. but it didn't worked.
out of curiosity I then switched my phone into airplane mode and waited few seconds and then back to normal. to my surprise, my phone automatically got connected to the wifi without any hassle. and hence problem solved.
Problem:
Since Android 4.3 update, on Version Samsung Note 2 I continued to get WiFi connection error "Unstable WiFi connection". Also, WiFi internet speed was noticebly low.
I cleared dilvik cache, rebooted, disconnected and reconfigured WiFi - none of which helped. In fact, the problem is not with the phone or operating system. The problem was in my the WiFi network channel. My Motorola router had automatically used channel 1 which was also used by another 4 networks in the the neighborhood.
Solution:
Install WiFi Analyzer on your phone. Find out a channel with the least interference.
Reconfigure your WiFi network to use that channel. I have had no WiFi errors since then.
Good luck.
Thanks!! Worked great. I'm out of the "crowd" now. I think everyone in my neighborhood was on the same channel...lol. Changed mine and now...
Looks like just me and one other in the area on "my" channel now..... VERY noticible improvement !!

Hello
Thank you very much for your recomendation but could you explain me how to change to a different channel ?
Use your router settings. Some are Web bases depending on your provider. My unit is a "2wire". I did a Google search on how to change "2wire router settings"......how to and link popped right up. I then changed the channel with my computer....it was pretty easy.

Did you do the second part ...... installing the WiFi analyzer just tells you if your router signal is in a "crowd"....after that you adjust your home router to a clearer band..."out of the crowd". Your WiFi reception will be better. If it happens on "public wifi" their signal strength being broadcast could be at fault.
