A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.

I have somewhat of a similar situation... I just installed CM7 RC2 and I can connect to my home's wifi and browse the internet etc... but some apps like Facebook won't update. With Facebook, I can retrieve messages sent to me but the news feed never updates and I can't view profiles. And for some reason everything works when I use my university's wifi...

Go here and download the latest Nightly cm_liberty_full-30.zip
WiFi performance has been dramatically improved since RC2, and if nothing else, it's a better place to continue trouble shooting from.

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?
Router information: Linksys Wireless-N WRT120N
I have done everything that i could think of to get this working. i have done several google searches and they all say to do specific things.
For example:
-Reset router
-Enable B/G only or G only set at channel 11
-turn off router firewall settings
-and a bunch of other random sh*t
i have done all of the above then some and i still cant get it to connect. all i get is *scanning* then *disconnected* thats the only two things it says. except right after i reset the router. every time i reset the router i get * obtaining IP yadadada* then goes to *disconnected* then back to the "scanning, disconnected" loop.
there have been some people that have said flashing a custom firmware on the router would fix the issue with mobile connectivity on Wireless-N routers.
please someone be helpful with this and please dont tell me i need to reset my router. i have asked this same question on several forums and the only replies i get are "if you reset the router and turn off security it WILL work fine" thats bull****. im not an idiot. thats the first step any computer literate person would take before asking questions.
**Update: same as from General thread. i had to repost because it was closed for some reason there. also here are the answers to the other two guys to responded.
"not standing close enough" -i have been standing next to it. i have yet to test it more than 10 feet away lol so it cant be there
"flash another rom or reflash current rom" -it has nothing to do with my rom, kernal, or radio. this issue is also happening on my girlfriends xperia running Wolfxperia and mine is the blackeditionHDv2. its also an issue with her sisters xperia. hers is still stock 2.2(i think). their stepdad has an iphone and it wont connect with that either. from what ive gathered... its a mobile issue. i know all these phones say (b or g only) but even setting the router to broadcast in b/g it still wont connect. it notices the routers name with full strength on all devices. also i might add that their laptop is an older laptop. does not support N but still can connect to the router and have internet.
Same here. Xperia mini x10 pro. When on it says connecting even thought I nothing appear visible.

as for me it just started, before that when i was at col i was able to watsapp as usual, the phone is currently not with me but when i get i will post some ss for you to see.

Here are the ss
any idea on how i can solve this?
I'm guessing this is an ip issue. The mobile devices are not able to get one. This usually happens to me on a public network and I even get a " limited or no connectivity".
The work around I do is to assign a static ip on my phone. Its very simple to do and if you need help doing it, let me know.
There's no clear explanation I can tell you, but it seems some mobile devices have a hard time pulling ip's from different types of routers. Hope this helps.

Will ask my gf to give it a try. It happened so abruptly, it was working fine when she was at col then when she came back it won't detect any wifi, whether it's her house or mine, and now that she is back at her col she still can't connect.
I know how you feel.
I have had this issue ever since I first upgraded to Stock 2.3.3 last July. On 1.6 and 2.1 (both stock also) I never had issues.
Basically, in my case, resetting the router DOES solve the problem, but only for a limited time. This limited time is random, as sometimes it will work for a few days, and then sometimes it will cut out a few hours again after I have reset my router. I am also using the static IP method (and an app called WiFi Stat which I initially thought had solved the problem, but it hasn't) I'm not sure what triggers the WiFi connection to be lost, but there must be a trigger. Like I said, I never had this issue in my previous old Android versions.
I had hoped (somewhat naively) that moving to a custom ROM would solve the issue, but after installing Wolf's latest ROM, I still have this issue.
Have you tried anything based on 2.3.4 or above, to see if this is an Android 2.3.3 issue? Are there any good ROMs people could recommend that are based on higher versions than 2.3.3?
WEP/WPA key issue?
If its not the kernel/ROM/version of the phone, it could have something to do with the way the security is set up for your router. I had the most frustrating time logging into my university's wireless (think it was encrypted with 802.1x EAP) which required username and password. Though most home-owned router are equipped with WPA/WPA2 PSK or WEP, you can try the steps below:
1. Go to Settings ->Wi-Fi Settings -> Add Wi-Fi network
2. Type in the network SSID (yeah this is the manual part)
3. Open the "Security" drop-down box and set the following:
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP (default)
Phase 2 auth.: MSCHAPV2
CA cert.: leave unchanged
User cert.: leave unchanged
4. Type in username (if any) and password.
Once again, this would work 99% for 802.1x...not sure about WPA/WEP. Good luck!
Try Channel 6 in router option and hope it works.

setting a static ip doesnt seem to work.. any idea? i wish not to re-flash as i dun think that would be a permanent solution.
again i dun think it has anything to do with my router as other gadgets are able to connect with it and i didnt fiddle with the security.
It is unable to detect any router as i have tried it different hotspots.
Hope to get some help.
------------------------------------
I wipe clear the settings and it worked again.. hope the problem doesn't persist again.
Sorry to bother you with this, but I could not find anything remotely similar discussed anywhere.
My Sony Xperia S sometimes loses the default route for internet access.
The symptoms are:
- I can access all the local computers on the network just fine
- external web sites do not work
What I see when checking on the command line via "ip route" is
Code:
192.168.0.1 dev wlan0 scope link
Luckily my phone is rooted so I can just "su" and then
Code:
ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlan0
Afterwards, the internet access is working again for some time.
WiFI settings are set to a static IP address 192.168.0.11 with the default gateway configured to 192.168.0.1.
Why is the device losing the default route?
How can I prevent this?
Is there a file somewhere that needs to be changed for the route to persist?
I did not have this problem with Gingerbread. It started after upgrading to ICS.
Laptops work fine on the same WiFi network and do not lose internet access.
<Princess Leia voice>Please, XDAdevelopers, you are my last hope.</Princess Leia voice>
I'm having the same issue with my S after rooting/updating to ICE WIFI is still connected and LAN works ok, but no internet access turning WIFI on and off is the only way i can get it working
hope the is a fix
Sounds similar to an issue I was having as well. Actually, I was having it prior to the ICS update as well, i.e. with GB.
The only way I found to reliably get internet access on my SXS was to reconfigure my router to use DHCP, which was somewhat annoying. Had to reconfigure all my network nodes as well, of course, which were using static IPs.
Static IP had never been an issue with my old HTC Desire running GB (and earlier versions) or my ASUS Transformer with Honeycomb and ICS. Definitely seems to be SXS-specific.
I do not want to work through the hassle of changing the settings in my more than 20 devices on the network just to get this one working reliably.
Is there no other way than to switch on DHCP?
I tried DHCP and it didn't work for me.
and just because use run DHCP doesn't mean you would have to change all you devices, you can leave then as static.
I've been having the same issue on mine - did it occasionally on Gingerbread but has been noticeably worse on ICS - turning WiFi off then on again cures it 60% of the time, three off/on combos sorts it's 95% of the time
I noticed this week while visiting my parents that it worked first time every time, of course this is a DHCP setup!
I'll be setting my home router to give a fixed IP to my phone tonight - but that doesn't help at work where I need to override the DNS settings (don't care if the IP is dynamic or not - just need to use different DNS servers*!).
* And yup I have permission to do so - Facebook and a few others are crudely blocked using DNS, but authorised people are allowed access (basically so we can delete nasty posts) and this is over-ridden using static IP - gets annoying that Facebook trashes my authorisation when it falls in this blackhole.
For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.
THE FIX
Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.
When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.
Hope this helps people until we get a fix.

Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.
No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.
@freeza has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.
For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.
Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.

My wife just updated her s6 edge to the latest patch from Samsung (Oct 1 security patch), and now she cannot move around within my home mesh network.
Symptom 1 :
S6 Device - Turn On WiFi - Connect to WiFi (WiFi1 - a mesh network) - All OK
Move location - Device switches to closest node in WiFi1 mesh network - Device disconnects from WiFi1 with Authentication Error - Toggle s6 WiFi off/on - device connects to nearest node on WiFi1 - All OK.
Symptom 2 :
Move location - Device switches to closest node in WiFi1 mesh network - Device disconnects from WiFi1 with Authentication Error - Try to connect to different wifi network (WiFi2 - a std non-mesh wifi) - Device errors with authentication error - Toggle wifi off/on - device connects to WiFi2 - All OK
At no point do I have to re-enter passwords for either wifi. The S6 device was working on the mesh network before the latest update. Whatever is happening is killing wifi on the device, as I have to toggle it off/on in order to connect to any wifi network once it has failed.
I have factory reset the device, with no change in behavior. I suspect this has to do with the patch for the WPA2 vulnerability....
Any Ideas?

Android security Patch Level 1 October 2017
I am having this same issuebut on non-mesh wifi. Both my wife and I have S6 edge phones that are exhibiting the same issues. We do not have to move for the issue to occur. It will connect for a very short amount of time, then disconnect and say "Authentication Error Occurred." At a minimum it requires turning wifi on and off. I continued to have problems at my office as well. I am also suspecting the KRACK patch is the culprit. No other devices in my house appear to be having any issues.
I am currently testing a wifi solution from an old form at my office which appears to be working: Turn off Bluetooth... I turned off my Bluetooth and then i was able to successfully connect to the network. I have since turned Bluetooth back on and am still connected while moving between Access Points in my building. I have not connected to any Bluetooth devices since I originally turned Bluetooth off.
I'm not at a point where I would claim this resolves the issue. Could you try turning off your Bluetooth and see if you see improvement as well? Either way, I still think this is caused by the most recent security patches.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Toggling Bluetooth had no impact with the issue.
However, just be clear I am not experiencing any issues connected to my non-mesh guest 2.4ghz wifi. Once connected to this std wifi the connection persists and never drops.
In my own research I seem to remember one of the reasons behind issues for symptoms similar to yours, was caused by running the same SSID for both 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks, you could try renaming one if indeed you have this setup...
Thanks Again
I am having the same issue with a normal S6 after the 11/2 Verizon update. I have an orbi mesh system and each time the phone comes out of sleep it gives the authentication error. If I reset the wifi I can connect until the next time. Traveling between nodes can also cause it to start throwing the authentication error.
Following up, toggling Bluetooth doesn't seem to actually fix it. Just a coincidence I guess. I am still having issues but not as bad as they initially were. It seems to be most affected by moving around.

I know I am not using a mesh network and you mentioned switching nodes seems to cause your problem. My router does beam-forming and automatically switches between 2.4ghz and 5ghz based on signal strength. I'm wondering if its a related issue and switching frequencies is behaving similar to yours when you switch nodes.

Interesting... My mesh system uses both frequencies also, and this may be a similar cause, although under different circumstances.
I have a remote support session scheduled with Samsung tomorrow evening. I'll update the thread with anything of value that transpires.
Thanks
Just to update the thread....
Had a call with Samsung support, which was a bust. I spoke with a pleasant but technically challenged individual, whom informed me that my issue was because the wifi password was wrong, and that was all it could possibly be. When I asked her to explain how it could possibly be a password problem, she could not, and when I asked her if she understood the difference between a std wifi and a mesh wifi she did not. I may as well of talked to a chat bot.
I am now left with the choice of taking it to a Samsung repair center, living with the problem, or flashing the phone to a different rom (as this is my wife's phone its still locked and stocked so I do not want to open that can of worms unless absolutely necessary).
I am going to try 1 more time to get through to a technically competent person at Samsung, but I do not hold out much hope - maybe the next security update will solve the problem. I may see if I can find a stock rom file version released before the oct update, and downgrade.... Sigh...
Man that sucks they set you up with someone like that, thanks for keeping us informed of whats going on.

I'm experiencing similar issues with a Verizon Galaxy S6 edge. I just got the October patch a week ago and it has been a pain for several days with authentication errors. My wifi at home is a Deco Mesh, at the office we have a Netgear Nighthawk. So, problems with both mesh and std wifi networks. I did find a patch for the Nighthawk and that seems ok so far, updated about 30mins ago.
I did a factory reset on the phone using the Verizon Software upgrade assistant's repair option and that didn't fix anything with this. I think my battery is draining for the attempts to connect and scanning wifi. Other than that, my only solution has been to restart the phone. It connects before I even unlock the phone after restart which made me think maybe it was a service that was causing the issue once running but I could understand that if I walked out of the mesh node into another node as well. For the office, I would just look down and find that I was disconnected so I'm not sure when that was happening.
Would love to hear if anyone else has a solution.
Thanks!
I'm starting to see more/similar instances of this cropping up over on the S6 sub reddit....

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/7cbd4h/galaxy_s6_on_fw_70_now_has_wifi_issues/
Same here. S6 refuses to connect to Orbi since this last samsung update on November 2nd. And i agree...battery life is being wasted along with the wifi dropping constantly. Come on Samsung....FIX THIS ISSUE!
Same issue, very frustrating. AT&T Galaxy S6. Orbi at home and work has mesh wifi (I believe) and getting authentication error there too as well. Battery is like 40% after 2 hours off of charge. Major issue.
Exactly same problem here. S6 Edge, seen the same thing on Note 2. Happens on Orbi mesh and non mesh router at work. All happened with the latest patch.
Small Update:
Samsung (after a little back and forth) have passed this issue onto the development team. Who knows what will happen next.
Can I encourage you all to report the issue to Samsung and point them to this thread, the more reports, the more likely we will get a positive response.
Thanks
I confirm the issue on GALAXY S6 FLAT, italian no-brand version, after the october update.

I created a thread here on the Samsung site: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...s-after-October-2017-update/m-p/213559#M39427
Same issue on Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. Started happening after the October security patch. Also posted on Samsung's forums.
Same issue for me on S6 edge, ever since Oct 2017 security patch. Wifi drops, "authentication error occurred" , phone gets hot and MASSIVE battery drain until wifi turned off. Only temporarily fixed by flicking wifi off and on again, but error will come back again after a short while.
Same for Galaxy S6 (xeo) after last software update. I'm using Mikrotik solution.
I have an s6, and an s7 (for work) the problem is only with the s6. Very frustrating, never know if i'm connected or not.
