Hey, so I just picked this up but I can't connect to 3G or Wifi?
Have you gone to the settings menu and wireless, turned on wifi, and then selected a network? Are you using your own wifi? Is there wifi available where you are? Is there 3G available where you are?
We need to know the steps you've tried so we can help you.
Wifi - it tells me it is connected, but cannot browse unless I disconnect wifi when it happily connects using 3G. I can check the router and it has the Samsung's MAC address on its list of connected devices. Anyone else having trouble with wifi?

Someone else was having problems with 5ghz vs. 2.4ghz in their router. Are you broadcasting wireless-N at 5ghz? Have you tried rebooting the router, and a battery pull on your phone?
I don't think I am broadcasting at 5GHz - what should I be broadcasting at? Yuck, I turned off wireless-N so it is only broadcasting b/g and now it works...
Weird - now I turned wireless N on too so the router is broadcasting a/n-b/g and everything is happy. I actually specifically turned *on* 5Ghz/2.4Ghz too so it has both (Airport Extreme router) that it will talk and the router tells me that the Captivate is talking 802.11b/g/n and now the phone is happy. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - it was driving me nuts because I could see the wifi at Starbucks!

Hi,
I have multiple devices at home using the WiFi fine (iPad, Laptops...)
But with two android devices (Nexus 5 and Galaxy S 4, both on unmodified) I have the same problem.
It connects to the network, and works just fine, but after some time, there isn't any internet connection, although it shows as if it's still connected.
By disabling and enabling Wifi I get internet connection again, but it's really annoying.
Here's my setup:
Edimax router as AP
2.4 GHz (B+G+N)
Visible ESSID
Channel number 6
Encryption: WPA 2 (AES) pre-shared key (passphrase)
No MAC Filtering
EDIT: This router is a switch with wireless, it is connected to a diffrent router that is connected to the internet.
What can I do? Should I modify any of my WiFi settings?
Thanks!
did you try to disable energy saver?

If asking you're whether I had disabled the WiFi optimization in the WiFi settings, yes I have...
I have just only remembered that this router is actually a switch with wireless. The internet is connected to the other router, which is connected to the router i'm asking about (EDIMAX) which acts as a switch.
Hello all,
I just bought a Oneplus One.
But when I tried to connect to my home Wifi (which is 2,4Ghz, and no options to use 5Ghz) it didn' t saw my router.
Now I downloaded Wifi Analyser, This is showing me that I only have a connection with my router if my phone is only a few centimeter/inches away from the router.
This problem is not in my router because i have this with all the wifi connections that are using 2.4Ghz.
All the wifi connections that use 5ghz are working fine.
I've already changed the channels on my router, which didn't make any difference.
I also did a factory reset, still nothing.
I also changed the settings of my phone to only use 2,4Ghz wifi.
I set my wifi performance to his max but still only connection with my router if I hold my phone a few centimeter/inches away from it.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can try? Its really annoying that I can use wifi
Thanks for your time!
I have two wifi APs with the same SSID and it will stick to one of them with next-to-useless connection while standing near the other one. which would have much better connection.
This works fine on my Nexus 9 tablet and even better on my iPad and my wifes iPhone..
I tried some possible workarounds like Always allow wi-fi roam scans but I didn't see any effect.
This fix for SG3 might work but i havn't rooted.
Even more solution suggestions
Doesn't this bother anyone else ?
wifi has a bug in 6.X and its been talked about before.
my problem some times when i want to connect to another wifi it connects for a 1 sec and then drops it
i turn off wifi and back on and it will connect
i'm trying the app "Wifi roaming fix" but i think it causes the wifi to disconnect for a couple of seconds when it switches.
Strange that this seems to be of no interest to anyone. Is there indeed nobody who is using one or more WLAN APs in addition to his/her WLAN router? I can't believe that.
I have two APs (Main router and 2nd router as AP) but not for more coverage, my main router pushes 5GHz wifi, the second AP pushes 2.4GHz for older clients that can't connect to 5GHz
The 5GHz router is placed on a wall in the middle of the house and the entire house has great coverage so no need for more APs
I have more APs in my house with OpenWRT and 802.11r aka Fast Roaming configured and roaming between all my APs is working perfectly with all my devices.
Note 10.1 2014 Wifi, S7 Exynos and all other also.
With APs configured as "normal" ap with the same SSID and key i had the same issue as you mentioned.
I think your phone dont know that it could roam between your two APs.
If you could not run OpenWRT on your APs for 802.11r, you could try to enable WDS on both APs even if your APs connected by wire.
I just got this watch today and I'm unable to see certain wifi networks, particularly my campus wifi. I am able to connect to my cell phone's hotspot but that uses up my data plan very quickly. I downloaded this wifi manager app that lets me see my campus wifi but still doesn't connect to it.
Is there anything else that I can do to connect to my campus wifi?
Alternatively, can I get internet through bluetooth if my cell phone is connected to wifi? Is there a setting for this?
Thanks
Seems this watch is not supporting 5G network. You may check if your campus has 5G and 2.4G supported.
Hey everyone,
So I've been expernecing this problem for over month. Basically im connected to my wifi on 2.4ghz and suddenly my connection will drop and I check that its now connecting to 5ghz but it doesn't actually connect to it its just keeps connecting and disconnecting every second until it finally connects back to 2.4ghz. And then after few minutes of strong connection ill drop again and same thing.
Im only experiencing this at work. There isn't 2 different ssid for 5ghz or 2.4ghz just one ssid, I was able to find out that they are using dual band router so I can't change anything the router part. is there an app or some setting I can toggle with to enforce 2.4ghz band only? Ive already turned off smart switch and scanning but problem still here.
Thanks in advance!!
