I have this issue with wifi.
I have 4 routers at home with the same SSID to extend the wifi range.
The phone connects to the first router he see's but doesn't changes if I get closer to another router, it stays connected to the first one while it catches signal.
To change router I have to turn off wifi and then on again.
Sometimes I'm next to one router and the signal appears on minimum because it stays connected to the first router it saw.
Shouldn't it always connect to the strongest signal??
Weird, ah??

My TP connects to my home router via wifi, but occaissionally disconnects then reconnects. I dont have this problem with any of the pc's connected to the router. I had this problem also on my kaiser. Any suggestions?

Make sure you have not set wifi to turn off after x time of innactivity (Saves battery)
Check under: Start>settings>wifi>menu>advanced
Its not that - it doesnt turn off but disconnects and reconnects straight afterwards as if its lost the signal. I'm sat 5 feet away from the router!
You could try sliding the battery signal slider in settings alittle more towards signal quality. but 5 feet, that shouldn't effect the WiFi
I have a 2wire 2700hgv router, it's very good for long lines. The router is set to not broadcast the SSID. The One S will not connect to it automatically. If I enable the SSID, it will connect about 10s later.
This means the phone will not work in my office either where they do not broadcast the SSID.
You talk about 802.1x connection?

Without the SSID being broadcast, the One S just does not connect or see the router. I will be seeing if the 802.1x works in the office next week.
Waiting for 802.1x,because its very important for me

This morning I was awake early, before the people next door.
The people next door turn off their router at night. This morning the my HOS connected to my router, the SSID is still hidden. I confirmed with Wifi-Analyzer that next door had turned off their router which is always broadcasting 3 SSID values all on Channel 1 which is standard behaviour for BT HomeHub routers these days.
Later in the morning I could hear people next door, I power cycled Wifi on the HOS, and now it will not connect to my router. My router is on Channel 7.
This is the only HTC Android phone I have had which has had this problem, my other Android devices never had a problem.
Weird...
I'm still running 4.0.4. This Wifi issue started a couple weeks ago. Not sure what it's related to.
Anyways, my phone's Wifi will NOT disconnect (the App) from my Home's Router AFTER I leave the router's range. Meaning, my phone's Wifi still shows it as being connected to my router even though I'm (30) miles away at work! It shows as (1) bar and in the Settings it shows connection as POOR.
After I do a Restart the Wifi connection to my home's router disappears.
Sometimes when I come back home (in range of the router), it will NOT connect at all. It will show as (1) bar and POOR connection. It will show (1) bar even when I'm in the SAME room as the router!
Again, Restarting the phone clears up the issue and the phone's Wifi connects just fine.
What do I do to fix this ?
Comcast is my ISP, and I have a netgear router for my wireless in my house.
However, it would seem that comcast has recently put up a new wifi hotspot near my house, or extended one of their current hotspots, and my xoom keeps picking it up.
The problem is the comcast signal is incredibly weak... like half a bar weak. Where as my netgear is full bars... and yet, the Xoom will try and connect to comcast's hotspot rather then the router that is a couple feet away.
If I go into SETTINGS and 'forget' comcast, it just finds it again.
Is there some setting, or app, that would make my Xoom only connect to MY router and not comcast's when I'm home???
For some reason it's not "Forgetting" that connection. Once you forget a connection it will no longer auto connect to it. It's always going to see the signal, but after forgetting it, it should not be auto connecting.
Connect to it again, which should save it, then long press on it until it pops up a menu that contains forget / modify and click forget. See if it forgets it properly that way.
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!!
