OK so on my open network at home o can connect but then I lose internet connectivity after about 5 minutes. Recently today though when I go to shut off wifi and bring it back on, it just reads error and won't let me check it back on or off. I then power cycle the phone and I'm back to square one with the 5 minute disconnect. Wtf

It may not be your phone.
I had the same issue but I reset and reconfigured my Cisco router
Renamed my network and phone connected within seconds and I haven't had any issues since.
Try connecting to a different wifi network and see how well it connects.

Same thing happened to me at home.
To resolve it I had to reboot my Wireless Router at home, then I was able to connect.

wifi is flakey on mine as well. Also google market will say "no connection" while other apps connect to the internet just fine.
So far (knock on wood) my wifi is great.
Except for that one time I had to reboot my wifi.

I replaced my router today and my wifi issues went away. I'm sad to find out the Atrix 2 doesn't support 5ghz wireless N
This is a motorola bug. It exists on the Atrix 2, Droid 1, Droid X, and Droid X 2.
It has something to do with the method the wireless radio in the phones notifies the AP that it is going into low power standby. So far I've been unable to determine the EXACT reason that it does this, but have a feeling its related to using WPA/WPA2 and sending the LPN to the AP with that enabled.
I'm trying to figure it out, and if any one else experiencing problems with wifi where it drops connectivity after 2-5 minutes, please let me know the following info:
Length of SSID
Brand of Router / model.
Encryption type: EG, WPA2/CCMP (CCMP=AES on some devices)
length of encryption key.
I'm going to try and find a way to fix this at the router, provided the settings are available.
Ssid is the same as router name WRT330N. No encryption. Got my new skyrocket no more wifi issues

I am experiencing exactly what you described, every time I connect to WPA2 network at my college I experience weird problems. For example when I stream music with GoogleMusic I can barely go through one song. On the other hand I have no problems at my home where I also use WPA2. The most confusing thing is that my phone acts weird on unsecured networks too.
Do you think this is a software issue ?
For those who are seeing the poor WiFi connections that lock up after a few minutes...
Go into your router settings and disable WMM.
I am told (by a reliable source) that the problem resides in some T.I. drivers commonly used in Moto phones and it's exacerbated by overly strict code in many routers.
In any event, I was suffering terribly unstable WiFi connections that would lock up every few minutes. As soon as I disabled WMM on the router, everything started working cleanly and has remained that way.

Thanks for the info. What should we do if we use wifi in a university or any other place where you can not change router settings? Do you think Cm7/Cm9 will remedy the problem?

I will most def try this out (though i'm limited to devices I have management access to), hoping for the best (my wifi works well, but does seem to drop off sometimes and other times no problems whatsoever...)

I am currently using CM7. I was previously using leedroid. One night my internet suddenly stopped working. I was conected but i couldnt use it. So i switched roms thinking that was the problem but no change. The wifi works fine on my moms laptop and my dads iphone, but not on my inspire. If i disconnect from wifi, then reconnect it will work for a couple of minnutes then suddenly stop working. Any ideas on what is wrong? It has been doing this for days and its really annoying. Thanks
(Sorry if this is a duplicate topic i had to type this fast before the internet stopee working, and didnt have time to look)

Just curious. Even though other devices can sign on to router, have you tried resetting it. Sometimes they have an ip conflict and resetting refreshes the ip tables.
Yeah I would try resetting the router if you haven't already. I know I have had some connection issues before and it was caused by the router. My computer would work just fine, but my phone wouldn't connect.
It worked. Thanks soo much. I should have tried that in the first place.

I agree, they often fail. I use only linksys routers now and I still have to reset it every now and then.
Its not just at home.. its where ever i try to connect to wifi i realized recently. It is also a very new router
I'm having the same problem with mine. I'm running ARHD 6.3.3 never had the problem with Cyanogen. Is there anything I can do about the wicked not really connecting? I'm running Juice Defender, but I've been having this problem before I installed it.

I had same problem with cm7. Heres what I did - phone- wifi serttings, go to your router connection and press forget. Then I restarted phone, PC, router. Back to phone, wifi settings and re-entered router code, extra. Sounds odd but it worked for me

That happens a lot to me, too. I do believe it's the phone. My room is across the house from the WiFi modem, and my sister's is even further. Her phone catches the signal when mine doesn't. I would like to know the solution, too, if there is one.

Still not working. An app maybe?
I have tried everything.. nothing is working. Its not just at home its everywhere i go. Only thing i could think that would cause this is an app maybe? Is there an app that is known to stop the wifi from working? It has to be something like that. If its not i guess my phone just randomly broke.
So, I had this issue too. I bought and installed an new digitizer (again :/ ) but the tape/adhesive didn't get to me until 3 days after the digitizer. By time I got the tape/adhesive (I temporarily used electric tape on the 4 corners til then) I had gotten a ROM up and running. I took apart the phone, to put the tape/adhesive on the LCD (it was a replaced also) and on the digi. When I put the phone back together, the wifi would work, but no internet. I tried it with 3 different routers and the only fix was to reflash the ROM/a new ROM. This was like 3 days ago. Today I wanted to fiddle with the volume rocker to try and get my volume up working again.... well the same thing happened when I put the phone back together and booted up, wifi connects, but no internet, reflashing the ROM/a new ROM, fixed it. I think there's like something with the phone that 'detects' when it's taken apart, and like does something to the ROM. My Tapatalk accounts got logged out also. I did, both times, also try wiping caches to no avail. Also tried turning wifi off, forgetting the network, and then restarting.... to no avail. The ONLY fix for the wifi each time was to reflash the ROM Maybe someone else could try to recreate this, see if it's only me or not.
I finally found out how to fix it. It turns out I had wifi settings backed up from a diferent rom in titanium backup for some reason. I reverted back to my stock back up, cleared all my titanium backup stuff out, then re-flashed my rom. So thank you guys for all the help. Hope this helps you guys fix you problems.
Hi guys,
Many a times the internet over Wifi becomes dead n I don't come to unless I realise I'm not getting mails n Whatsapp for quite long...
So is there an app which can dc Wifi when the internet is not working n reconnect it when it starts working....

In setting make sure you have checked the option : Notify me when open network available
So if you wi fi goes does it will disconnect but will reconnect once it is back again.
Hit Thanks if this helped

I'm not saying the wifi signal goes away... But the internet becomes dead... The wifi signal remains as it is... So I want something which will disconnect wifi when there is no Internet on the router and reconnect it when there is active Internet. hope you can understand

I've had very similar problems with my device (Sony Xperia S) and in the end, it turned out to be my Router that was causing the problem! I've had to force my router onto 'g-only' Wi-Fi to get it to be stable, now my device stays connected all the time, and also connects everytime.
I'm not saying that is what your problem is, it could be any number of things. But without more information it's impossible to tell. My logic is, that you should make it as 'easy' as possible for the device to connect to the router by checking it's wireless speed compatibility and considering forcing it to a set speed so that all your devices connect ok. Like if your router (like mine) is not n-certified, then it means it can 'possibly' run at n-speeds but is not garaunteed to do so. So, in that case, it's wise to maybe consider changing it to one of it's certified speeds.
Of course there are many other things you can consider looking at too, like trying to change the wireless 'ping' timeout on the phone to be more frequent, which uses more battery, but can keep connections alive.
Also make sure that the device is set to 'keep wifi alive' when it goes into standby.
I'm still new to Android, but I hope that at least helps a little.
It's not the problem of the phone or the router... It's the problem of the internet service provider... From his side the internet gets disconnected... So sometimes as I'm on wifi... Phone does not get Internet from wifi nor it gets from GPRS... So I want some app where when wifi is not having Internet Phone gets the internet from GPRS.. I don't know whether it is possible or not

Hi, I seem to have this problem with my phone, where it says that I don't have any Internet connection. I know that it does have connection (my laptop is connected to the same wifi / it doesn't work on mobile data either) , it just seems to think that it doesn't, until I restart the phone / wait a while.
Has anyone else had this problem? / is there a way to resolve it?
Thanks in advance

I have heard of others experiencing this before. It is a bug being addressed in 4.4.3. My phone does not have this problem, I'd suggest trying a factory reset and see if that helps.

If you use 2 fingers to swipe down, are the network and wifi bars orange?
That's the problem that I'm having when connecting and disconnecting with WIFI. A short switch to airplane mode and turning that off again mostly helps it.
The wifi bar / reception are always white, and switching to aeroplane mode doesn't make a difference.
I don't really want to try factory restoring it either, just in case it doesn't work, then I've got restore all my data again

I have a similar issue on my Gnex running cm11. Aggravating to say the least...
Boy... I hope someone can help me out here. I have been searching for weeks with no luck. I have been having an issue with my stock 4.2.2 p5113 Tab 2 10.1 unrooted. I can't get it to find my home network. I can see my neighbors, even took it down to Arbys and was able to connect to their WiFi with no problems... Just can't connect or even see mine.
I have an Asus rt-n66r router. Have tried every channel and different frequencies. Changed every setting one at a time to see if it worked and nothing. Well... I take that back. Last night I turned off encryption and it popped up shortly... But went back away. When I go into advanced it shows the Mac address but IP says unavailable. I set up a static IP and that didn't help. I have reset the tab and router and even factory reset the router to no avail. It just doesn't make sense. Got this router back in March and its worked fine until now. Nothing has changed except me recently resetting the router to try and fix this. I have done everything I can think of but still can't see my own home WiFi. Everything else connects fine. Galaxy note 2, HP laptop on windows 8, smart TV, smart bluray, iPhone 5c, etc and everything else connects. Have even tried turning a few of them off to see if that helped but still nothing...
I really hope someone can help me. Had this thing for 2 years next month and it has always worked but at this point I feel like throwing it out the window LOL.

If a factory reset doesn't do it then your tablet is bonkers. If you scroll down to the bottom of list of networks is your network showing? Maybe it has (forgot ) your network?

I went ahead and rooted and put on the slimbean ROM and still issue persists. So today I hooked up an old 15 dollar router I had from micro center and guess what? It showed up. So I factory reset my good Asus router and hook it all back up and still won't find it. I'm at a loss. Everything else in the house is connecting to that router no problem. Its some issue between this tab and this router... Only thing I dont get is why it worked before no problem and out of the blue it stopped connecting to the router without anything changing. I've been at this now for the past 24 hours pretty much non stop and I can't figure out what's wrong...

Can you see your Asus router on the Tab WiFi networks at all? Is it at the very bottom saying "not in range" ?
Long press on it, if there you'll get option to "forget network" or "modify" / modify. If you don't see it them it's forgotten, try add new network,.

No... It doesn't show up at all. I forgot it a long time ago. I do see my TV sync for the remote control and I see numerous neighbors wifi names come up... But not my Asus router LOL.

By "forgetting" a network you eliminate it from your list of networks, you then have to add it again as a new network. Could this be the case?
Images are examples of forgetting networks.

No.. I understand what you mean. When I 'forget' a network, say on my phone, it will pop back up and I will have to click on it to connect to it. My home and guest WiFi names are no where on there. I scan and scan and they never show back up...
