Wonderful tool for checking local WiFi. Managed to boost my signal by selecting a different channel from all the other local ones.

I have also did the same things as the people that reviewed the app.
my favorite WiFi Analyzer is WiFiFoFum for Android. For PC I use InSSIDer (Inside Her, lol)
I've used it back in Windows Mobile days. The cool feature I like is the WiFi Radar, which is cool for finding wifi networks in relation to your position.
It has the same thing like showing various WiFi networks and their dedicated broadcast channels.
Channels isn't something people regularly consider when setting up WiFi networks but it is a huge issue. Having 2 wifi networks with overlapping frequencies will result in serious lag, timeouts, and connectivity issues.
To get technical there are 11 channels (plus some more for 5Ghz bands) but typically you'd have 11. Only Channels 1, 6, and 11 won't overlap each other.
Selecting 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, or 10 will be overlapping a channel somewhere (if you are in a rural area with lots of networks). In my router, I did a wifi analyzer around my house and everyone is using 1, 6, or 11... but the key is finding the less crowded channels with the least amount of signal.
Don't select a channel that has another signal with full bars or you will degrade both of them. When I first bought a house I moved in and had HORRIBLE wifi. I looked and my neighbors are both using Channel 6... and so was I. So I moved to 11 because it was less crowded and everything is great now.
This is standard WiFi 101 but most people just use the defaulted settings which usually is set to 6.
[EDIT]
We are talking about your WiFi Routers... not your Phones. The process above simply states that you should download a WiFi analyzer for testing purposes SO THAT you can program your router properly.
The stock wifi settings connects and disconnects, And never connects.
Thanks for that info +1.
It was a problem with phone not connecting to router. After I did the trick I found out it worked.
Instant wifi connection.
The stock wifi settings connects and disconnects, And never connects.
Yesterday was my first day with wifi working , After this method.
I made this post to help someone out, Suffering from the same problems I was having.
WIFI SETTING MENU
Inside there is a setting to connect to the router. That is the only my phone can connect.

I've noticed that my WiFi connection is unstable regardless of which ROM I'm using. I'm sitting less than 10 feet from my router and the signal is excellent yet my Fuze WiFi won't connect...I can't update 2.1 weather, can't open a page in Opera and IE.
Anyone out there with a solid WiFi connection every time they use it? Which ROM are you on? What are your settings/edits?
I'm desperate to find a solution to this since having a built in WiFi is one of the perks of the Fuze. And I don't want to be held hostage by AT$T ridiculous data plan.
i'm using EnergyRom Jan 27th build 21889. I've never had any problems with wifi for any EnergyRom builds i use. I don't really set anything up, i just turn wifi on, and just enter the WPA passkey and it's done, it's only a one time setup, everytime i turn wifi on it'll automatically connect.
There are tools like Wifi Monster etc that can show you the strength of the wifi signal, as well as tools that gives you options to set up an advanced profile (I think it's called Wifi Profile).......
do a search for Wifi in PPCWarez and you'll find what you need.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also on EnergyRom Jan 27th build 21889....I've actually been an avid follower of NRG Roms but have never had a consistent WiFi connection. I really don't know where I'm going wrong. I've been using the same WiFi for the past 3 years. I didn't have WiFi connection problems with RoMeo's Rom on my Tilt or on my Hermes. Just would like to have a dependable WiFi connection. I'm pretty sure it's not the Rom..just curious if I had things configured properly.
I am also having problems with the Wi-Fi connection on my HTC Touch Pro. It is very unstable and unreliable -it flies for 10-20 seconds, and then hangs. The problem persists with different routers. I am using the stock HTC ROM.
Performance Mode
Hi guys,
have yo tried switching WiFi mode from "Battery Saving" to "Performance"?
Start/Setting/Connections/Wifi icon
The same wi fi problem for me: it recognizes the network, it asks for the pass, but it doesn't connect.
i'm two meters from the router... any suggestion?
Try...
Change your wifi settings to preformance first.
Things that affect WiFi not particular to your phone:
1. Bluetooth on and active (same frequencies) on your phone as well as others
2. Other Routers (esp. if you live in an apartment)
3. Running Microwaves ovens
4. Other RF devices in the 2.4GHz range. (i.e. wireless keyboards, mice, novelty devices, etc.)
The only step to do is change your router at home to another channel and try again. If you are connecting outside your home, then you are at the mercy of the provider.
Has anybody tried to connect to a Time Capsule?? I cannot get my G2X to see my router for nothing. Is the G2X compatible with a N router??
It is N compatible, but it didn't see the N network on my dual-band router.
The Time Capsule should be b/g/n, or at least g/n, so it should show up.
I will check the settings but I think I have it setup on N only
ok first off that your "Time Capsule" router works with your computer laptop etc. is basically irrelevant, other then to reassure you that it works for these devices.
i have seen so many people here and other places say, "hey it works with my "XXXX" so it is working. why can my phone not connect also"
I'm not sure if phones are just more finicky or what
What i DO know is that phones have extremely small antennas when compared to everything BUT other phones
i see the "Time Capsule" has "Simultaneous dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz"
i have also heard people say dual-band not working and when they select one frequency their phone connects
so heres some things to try
1) places phone no more then a few feet away from router (in this case the "Time capsule") and try and connect
2) turn off dual band and select first 2.4GHz and try connect and then try 5GHz
3) see if you can update the routers firmware and repeat steps 1 and 2
4) try other bands like B and/or G on both 2.4 and 5GHz
5) set your router to an open network (Not locked or hidden in anyway) and try to connect, you can always re-lock it down later, right now your trying to find the problem through a process of elimination
6) try changing the channel, Mine is at 10, because others near me are using 1-6, if there are allot of people using a channel, your phone will have a hard time connecting or staying connected. i think they get confused. there are android apps that will tell u what channels are being used around you. use it to pick a channel as far away from others as u can!
PS:
for firmware i found this there might be newer so make sure you check

I originally posted this in the IS03 sub-thread but received no replies.
Not root-related but since a little under a week ago, my IS03 has been having a real hard trouble with wifi when at home. If I move more than 4 meters or so away form the router, I cannot access anything.
When this happens, I'll disable/renable wifi (from 4-5 meters away or further) and one of two things will happen: 1. My network will not even show up or 2. My network will show up (with a 'good' or 'fair' wifi status) but when I try to connect, it will disconnect immediately.
What I noticed through the Wifi Analyzer app was that even when the Android wouldn't show my network on the network list, wifi analyzer still registered it about -70dbm.
I originally thought the router is to blame but both my wife's AU HTC Evo and my Amazon Kindle have no problems using wifi from the same distance.
I also thought that perhaps the cover I have for the phone may be collecting dust so I removed it to no avail.
Any ideas why the wifi in my phone is acting up?
Thanks.
UPDATE since original post: I moved my router (Linksys WRT160N V3) to a more central location and installed DD-WRT (TX Power power set to default 71) and the problem went away for about a week but now it has returned. Both my Kindle and my wife's Evo have no issues with accessing the internet through wifi from the other side of the apartment but the IS03 cannot.
If I try to connect to wifi and I am right next to the router, one of three things will happen: 1. It WILL connect but I cannot access the net. 2. The network will show up on the available network list but it won't automatically connect (will say the network is disabled. If I try to manually connect, it will immediately disconnect. 3. Network won't even show up.
I have four handheld Android devices and, currently, 3 standalone WAPs plus Verizon's FIOS router.
.
None of the four devices can maintain a connection to any of the standalone WAPs or the router for more than a half-second or so: they solicit the PW, Authenticate, connect briefly, and then drop the connection.
.
I normally have only one WAP, but added the two just to make sure the problem was not in the WAP. Ditto Verizon's router, whose WiFi is normally turned off, but turned on now for troubleshooting.
.
For the life of me, I cannot think of any changes I have made in the week leading up to the onset of this problem.
.
One of the standalone WAPs is an Orbi Mesh system, but currently with no satellites - the satellites having started to act weird with onset of the problem and therefore having been turned off.
.
I also have two instances of AndroidTV running: one on a Sony Bravia TV and the other on an NVIDIA SHIELD box. And, weirdly, both of them are able to hold a WiFi connection - but UNABLE to hold a Ethernet cable connection. Same appearance as the handhelds over WiFi: connection gets dropped, only almost instantly so the screen just kind of vibrates with the connected.
.
If I turn off all standalone WAPs, leaving only the WAP in the Verizon router, the problem persists - with the Verizon router's WAP on channel three and, according to the WiFi Manager Android app, no competing signal sources on channel 3.
.
The problem persists even with the handhelds within 10 feet of the various WAPs.
This started about a week ago. Before that, no problems. And I don't *think* I have changed anything.
Right now, the only thing between me and hiring somebody to troubleshoot the problem is the weirdness of the problem - and the fear that their billing by the hour could cost me too much.
Can anybody point me in some direction?
We have set up a WiFi router at our summer house and all devices bar my OnePlus 8 connects without problem to the WiFi. My phone connects to the WiFi but not the internet. Have restarted the phone and removed and added the WiFi connection but no luck. Any idea what's going on?
I had this problem with my oneplus 8, European version, where at times internet connection would drop, but wifi was still connected so the phone was in effect blocked since I use VoWiFi both voice calls and data was blocked.
The problem turned out to be between my router and the oneplus 8. I had to go into the settings of the router and disable a feature called "band steering". This setting will make the two different wifi gateways inside the router, the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz appear as one and the same with the same SSID name. This is supposed to simplify setting up devices with wifi but is known to cause problems sometimes.
As soon as I had separated the two and given them different names, I no longer have a problem with internet access dropping from the wifi.
I have no idea where the fault happens, I only know that I have had to disable band steering with another router I had before. I think this feature might be a bit unstable.
No idea what's happened but this morning it just worked.
