That could be a number of things. Only certain gear has the WPS buttons (Linksys/Cisco, I think).
1. Reset your router. If it used to work then just quit, rebooting the router usually fixes it.
1. Has it ever connected to any wifi equipment anywhere?
2. Check the security settings on your wifi router & verify you're using the same settings & key on the phone
3. Worst case, set up your wireless router to use no security & see if the phone connects. If so, it's probably your set up. Change the router back to decent security (WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES) and make sure you set the phone up to access the wifi router with that same security.
The WPS button is located on the router itself. It should be easy to find.
Google the make and model of your router to see if you have one. If you are using your service providers router you can call them and ask them how you can connect via WPS connection
I dont know what was going on with it,but I did all the steps that yall told me but dint work,It got me mad ashell lolz I left my phone alone for a while when I came bk wifi was working it wierd ...but thank yall ,and just to let yall know it have happen before but never say nothing until now, I was wondering y this happens sometimes it just take 1 day for the wifi to start working, idont know why? it mite be routers or something cuz I know the phone aint the problem or mite be, ....but anyways thatnk you so much for both of you .....

Glad it's working. Weird that it stops working at times. Might be interference from other things if, when it stops working, it's always in the same location.
Good luck

LOL, I hear ya. You might want to try using a different channel on your router. It may help if it is a problem with interference.

I searched but could not find the answer. What file are needed for WiFi? Can I copy ones from a JVQ rom to a JVT rom? My wifi keeps dropping out on Juwe's Smart Edition rom that I using Hellraiser 1.0 on.
Does it get stuck on "obtaining IP address?"

No, it just randomy goes off. Its not my router. I think it has something to do with the rom I was trying to port. DlevROM wifi works great, so does this one if it stays on. Went off three times since I started typing this. I wonder if my data can shut of my wifi? I tried the wifi fixer from market , but no sucess.

So it connects and disconnects a lot right? Go to my thread called [Q] Wifi issues. I believe we had the same problem.

I already tried the wifi fixing apps. No luck. I know its related to Juwe's Rom because it does not happen on DlevRom.
Help? I know it has something to do with dhcpcd and the wifi folder,kernel and probably something else, but I can't figure it out.

Anyone with some knowledge about wifi please help. Need guidance.
So i called samsung about this issue today because this is the 2nd infuse with same wifi issues and both were stock. This one now is rooted with dlev rom. Still same issue. I refer people to call samsung everyday for this issue when they call in. Samsung emailed me the shipping label to send via ups to the repair place. 5 to 7 days for them to fix it he said. Dont let anyone say its your router. Its not its the wifi chip in the phone.

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

Not sure if i'm any help at all, but every time ive used wifi tethering, i need to load something on my phone after enabling tethering in order for the inernet to work on the computer. it never seems to work correctly until i use data on the phone after turning it on and connecting.
Freeze tether app in titbu. Done.

For some reason my wifes infuse always drops wifi. I tried a new router, three new roms,four new phone modems to nothing. My xperia arc can keep wifi all day. I am aware of the wifi issue but this doesn't make sense. Any help would be great.

Try Going to wifi settings and press the menu button, click advanced and set the wifi sleep policy to never.
turn off your juice defender like app if you have one running
I checked the advanced settings. The policy was on never. also she doesn't have any app like juice defender. I'm at a loss

I've been noticing this too. And wifi policy set to never. Turn the phone on and it's not connected. Haven't tried the dchp release yet though.

What are you running? Stock or custom rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
On stock 2.3.6 I had no issues with wifi dropping, but when I switched to a several custom ROMs, wifi would connect and disconnect every minute or so. I figured it wasn't my router, because it worked perfectly prior to flashing a custom ROM. It was driving me crazy, and I read through every post I could find and finally found a solution that worked for me. I still don't know why it works, but it does.
I had my router configured to assign static IP addresses for each device based on MAC address. The DHCP reservation expiration was always set to Never for each device. As I said, this worked fine for stock 2.3.6 (and also for Froyo previously). When I flashed either Zeus or Numas, the wifi drop and connect loop would start immediately. I changed the DHCP reservation expiration to something other than Never and to my surprise, wifi stayed connected.
So if your router is filtering by MAC address OR if you are not using a static IP connection on your phone's network settings, it might be worth a try, worked for me. I am currently running Zeus 5.2 and wifi is staying connected.
Wifi dropping due to custom rom flashing is not due to custom rom.
It is due to improper wiping.
A thoroughly clean wipe to make sure there is no residue of previous ROM will solve your wifi issues.
lol..I think I've posted about this just about in every thread at one point or another.
Look around
I have tried every rom on this site...never had a wifi problem dropping or connecting....wait I did once ...cuz I didn't toggle my wifi connection.... lol
But honestly stock or custom...always connections stable and stong...I do reboot both modem & wireless router from time to time....IMO refreshes the signals...
Now Apn...that's a different topic...I keep apn backup for that on file...

Actually, on Zeus my wifi drops all the time. Not when I'm using it... that never happens. But whenever it locks, it drops almost everytime... I don't know for when, or how long, but after I turn my phone back on, then it starts to reconnect... It kind of sucks.. the data at my house is... very.. EH.. 1 bar of 3.5g kind of... But.. it does ALWAYS stay connected. So there.

Ok she tried zeus the new one, had wifi problems.tried doctors ROM same thing. Now is using numas blue ROM and its improved. She still can't watch YouTube for long clips. I tried router settings yesterday and tried to see if that is causing problems. Also haven't tried wiping it completely again... Will give that a go in a few mins and report back. thanks everyone for posting on it

Thanks for the info. I've tried just about everything, but nothing seems to work. Btw, I thought I would try the R3velation rom, and it's the same thing thing on that. I guess I'm just going to have to live with it.

fwiw, wifi drop is prob from "unclean" flash.
prior to flash, wipe and format system/data/cache.
Ive been using wifi tether with no problems until last night. When i turn it on my other devices wont see it now. Whats wrong?! Thx for any help
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
A little more info wouldnt hurt. Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Did you change anything at all between working/not working. Have you tried rebooting the phone and other devices? You can also try changing settings such as SSID or encryption.
I restarted all devices including my phone. Running synergy 1.7. Also hit refresh on other devices when searching for wifi but no bueno. Didnt change anything at all just tried to use it lately and nothing is finding it

Make sure your device profile is set to Generic ICS/JB(wlan0). I'm pretty sure that is the one that eschelon recommended. Also sometimes you do have to start the service, stop it, start it again. Mine acts up like that every now and then.
Ever since my device got bricked and flashed the the original firmware, my connection on wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnects even though im like 10 feet away from my router. This bothers me because I cant play online games. Is there anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
I suggest you turn off your router (or also disconnect the cord) for 30 seconds, turn off your WiFi on your phone, then plug it back in and turn on your WiFi again and check. Otherwise it might be a phone problem.
I'll give it a try
...When im connected to other wifi network this doesnt happen.

You should consider buying a new Wireless Router which is more powerful. As your statement, that this issue doesn't happen in other WiFi network, try to check the speed of your internet, traffic, etc.
My other devices works fine

So the issue must be the communication between your phone and the device. Try to restart the phone, or remove your wifi, and then enable it again.
try this
go to settings> WiFi > advance > keep WiFi on during sleep > select always on
I tried, the problem is still there

problem solved and a question-why does unstable wifi mess with usb?
My phone kept getting disconnected from my computer. This was apparently happening because my wifi was unstable. Not sure why the phone disconnected, I was connected via usb. The wifi was unstable because I was using a proxy. When I use my comcast connection straight through the problems go away. If someone can explain why an unstable wifi can screw up a usb connection I'd be grateful. Windoze issues?
