Wi-Fi issues remain after the Gingerbread update...:-(
When I connect to a wireless network and try to stream or upload something my phone starts to lag. Now I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network and have to reboot my phone. This is the exact behavior before the update...nothing has been fixed in this release ... I sure hope LG fixes the issues before T-Mobile pushes the OTA.

Personally never had this problem. I would revert back to stock and try and get a replacement phone.
This is my third replacement and all of them had this issue. It would work fine for a while and then it would start acting up...

really 3 replacements with that same problem? idk maybe its ur wifi at your house?
It is not my wi-fi, the phone does it on other networks and I've used my wi-fi with other devices-no issues...

I had wifi problems.....until I switched to cynogenmod.
I was about to get a sensation, but cannot consider giving up the benifits of cynogenmod. The additional features it adds, although small, all add up to a much better user experience, not to mention that it fixes the phone.

Which security type are you using on your WIFI? Maybe it's an issue with that specific protocol. Try changing the protocol back and forth for test purposes. It's possible it's one of the newer types of security and they really just aren't aware of a problem yet.
Also double check the firmware for your device. I understand that you say you've had it on other wifi and other devices work fine on your wifi, but I've had XBox's and computers that had problems with the firmware I was running but other devices worked fine.
I had the same stuttering problems as you using wifi with stock Froyo. The phone was close to unusable when streaming or downloading anything. Most of the time if wouldn't even switch from 4G to wif which was more annoyingi. With the gingerbread update wifi has dramatically improved and the switching is well under 10secs. Cm7 or anything based on it never worked for my wifi network sadly.
I have this very same problem. Turning on wifi I would still see the 4G icon and data activity. This has got to be so annoying after upgrading to gingerbread. Also now I have a new issue with the browser. This is issue is when the screen locks then unlocks the browser would automatically go back to the previous page. I mean why so many issues with this phone?

When I'm on wifi my phone won't load any websites, the xda website won't load, neither will Google or any others. I knew there was a wifi problem with 5.1.8 so I waited for 5.1.9. Anyway can anyone tell Mike1986 about this problem because I don't have enough posts to ask him myself or better yet, could anyone give me a fix.

I am not sure what this problem is, but I've been running 5.1.8 since the day it was out, and even as I am typing this, and well, no wifi problems so far whatsoever.
There you go, it is supposed to be the wifi fix for AR 5.1.8
Wifi fix from AR 5.1.9
It looks like the only difference is the addition of this line in the file " system/etc/calibration "
rssi_offset=-20

I will have to say though, that I still have wifi issues despite implementing every fix I have found in these forums and trying multiple radios.
If I leave the phone on overnight, I always have to turn the wifi off and back on to get a connection, otherwise it seems to be connected but is not.
I also have terrible wifi reception. Sitting at the same spot in a cafe with my laptop and my phone shows a world of difference. I can pick up 6 AP's from my laptop but only see one on the phone.
Am running Cingular's OTA radio 26.06.06.30_M with HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM
Thanks for the help everyone, the restart method solved it. Also is anyone having camera problems. When I record a video and play back it skips and its really starting to get annoying.

Has anyone who had data connection problems and updated with lg tool seen any difference with the data connection issues???
Just asking because its really annoying me and I might have to exchange even though I didnt want to go through the trouble...thanks my peeps!

What ROM are you using? I've been using 2.3.3 ROMs based off the OTA, and I've had no Data issues whatsoever with the new Baseband... But they still require a hard-reboot in CM7.

Its the data problem most people have, the data gets stuck with up arrow in 4g icon and you have to reboot or turn on airplane mode then turn off...

Any advice on improving WI-FI calling.
I get no signal inside my house.
No one is online and all computer are off.
Stock Gingerbread Tom.
You get no wifi signal or the wifi calling will not connect?

WI-FI connects and every thing
WI-FI related works great except WI-FI calling. I have the router in the middle of house. The call connection is fine at first then it acts like when a cordless phones go out of range static and echo.

I use WiFi calling all day without this issue. You might try telling your router to use a different channel, and/or looking for sources of interference.
That sounds more like internet connection quality to me.
I would try making sure nobody is running torrents or other high bandwidth stuff at the same time.
I had no issues with WIFI Calling on CM7. I recently switched back to the stock rom and have had jitter issues and poor sound quality. Hope this helps.

+1.. get the free wifi analyzer app.. then switch your router to the channel with the least interference.
I try that on my next day off.

What version is your wifi calling app?
Hope this helps.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
In the WiFi Calling app settings, check under Connection Preferences to be sure you have WiFi preferred for calling selected, just in case something changed it. Also, in the setting area, maybe under advanced, there is a menu option for log errors. That might help point to the problem and a solution.
Problem with wifi calling
I have a LG G2x 2.3.3 (rooted) running Xboarder's Stock Tweaked OTA Gingerbread build v1.2.2 and faux123 kernel (thank you great work) just have one problem that I have not been able to solve or find on here, my wifi calling will open and say enabling and stays that way (will not connect to wifi calling) any suggestions?

I had the same problem when I was on stock rom. Once I updated the baseband and flashed a custom rom, I dont have that problem anymore.
So for No reason my wifi tethering will not show up on my computer when activated. Ive checked a couple comouters So its a phone issue. It worked earlier today and i havent changed anything. Im using the 'wifi tether' app. Any ideals would be great, thanks ing advance

Ok i got its working. So here is my fix incase any one else has this issue.
I pulled up the app click the wifi button to turn on tethering and As the screen was up saying its was turning on i hit the back arrow to back out. Then turned tethering off and back on, boom it works
Weird fix but good to know just incase

Sometimes wifi tethering is inconsistent for me too. I usually try switching profiles between generic ics to galaxy nexus cdma/lte.
Also lately I've been using the widget to switch on and off tethering rather than opening up the app and so far its been working more consistently

yeah i've been getting random lag spikes/dc's for like 20 seconds. Pretty annoying wish i knew how to fix it
So at first wifi seemed good, range is better than my epic, speeds good as well(throughput anyways) but I've noticed a lot of disconnecting lately and having to toggle my wifi on and off to connect a lot. I'm not sure on this next part but I believe it all started when enable smartaction features. I tried toggling, dhcp versus auto, no difference. I'm thinking that maybe there is a cache somewhere in the driver that is not clearing properly creating network handshake issues, but that is a speculated thought based on very little knowledge. A little extra info, I have experienced this on both my dual band wifi N netgear at home, and a single band wifi G netgear at work, I'm stock no root(yet). I am semi noob when it comes to networking but I do have enough knowledge to setup securely a wifi network and do basic troubleshooting. Any thoughts on this? I am gonna try disabling all smartactions as well and see what fruitation arrives from that.

I definately think that smart actions was causing funkiness, still no issues after 24 hours now with smart actions disabled.

When you disabled SmartActions did you use titanium backup or just disabled your SmartActions?

I've experienced this issue since I've had the Photon Q. I used es file explorer to delete all the Motorola smart action apks in system/app. Will report back to see if it helps.

lol, don't think it was necessary to go to those lengths... Just disable any SmartActions is the suggestion.
I have a few night time / low battery smart actions - and I guess I never really use wifi during those periods. During the day when I do use wifi and the smart actions are not in use, I don't have any wifi issues.
Interesting theory for sure, especially since it is a new and perhaps only partially tested Motorola product. Would be nice if this is a workaround, at least there's something to look into .
I don't think it has anything to do with Smartactions....the couple of times I've experienced Wi-fi disconnects I never had any of those running. It seems to be more of a seemingly distance/threshold sort of thing to me.

I've never really experienced any disconnects that I couldn't attribute to distance...
Some here have said that wifi disconnects within feet of the router and VERY frequently. I can't say I've ever experienced that on this device...
My wifi issues were definately not range based, but I have yet to experience the issues I was having before since disabling the smart actions, but I will play around with renabling when I have some time and see if I can narrow it down, I have a feeling it was the sleep profile and I'm pretty sure I left it at defaults other than times.

Through the STOCK phone dialer put in ##106157#. It will reset a lot of wonkiness and do another hands free activation, updating ports, PRL, etc on a level more in-depth than the System Updates option.

I'm having an issue where the WiFi is off but it keeps asking if I want to connect to access points at random intervals.

Not related to smart actions, but maddening nonetheless...
Go to "Settings" --> "Wifi" --> "Menu" (Bottom right) --> "Advanced" --> "Show Reminders" - uncheck.
