Has anyone else had a problem with wifi after the AT&T update? I returned my first Infuse because it would not connect after the update.It would show full connection strength , but say "You have no internet connection. Now I'm afraid to update the new phone.

My wifi connection is better since the update. You may want to check other things like your router, etc. Try the Wifi Analyzer app available in the market to help you troubleshoot.
wifi not connecting unless turn off then back on?
I'm new to this but Im having wifi issues as well. No matter what wifi i go around i have to turn off then back on my wifi for it to connect. Does any body had this issue or know what might be wrong?
Do you have SSID broadcasting enabled? My Infuse wasn't able to connect to a hidden SSID after the update.. Had to broadcast and enable security to get it to work.
Got the phone today. Wifi issues right off the back. Can't even get past 128kb. lol.
Phone is being returned.
Why was this bumped....

Okay I posted a while back about this. For the past 2 weeks my wifi will connect and about 5 mins later won't load anything, but says I'm still connected. I've unplugged my router ( At&T router) and plugged it back in, no difference. I had att replace the router today and still having the same problem. I have it on wpa. I need to fix this, I run everything through my phone and this is really affecting my day to day. Any advice?
Infuse running infused v2.0.2.
If you're still using the stock ROM like I am, I'm finding the WiFi reception on my Infuse to be the worst I've ever experienced on any phone I've ever had. Lets hope the Gingerbread update fixes it.

Download wifi analyzer from the market and look see if there are several wifi networks on the same channel as your wifi. If so, change the channel on your router and see if that helps.
Also, what's the model on your router?
Even I've faced this issue ever since I got the phone but still there's no fix.
The problem is with a particular make of the router. I read online about it and there are more than 2 problems here.
1. If the router is a multiprotocol - bgn router, it might be a problem if the router is running in mixed mode. Our phone supports only b and g. In any case, if u enter the MAC address of ur phone into ur router, it might solve the problem.
2. If the router is not broadcasting the SSID i.e in hidden SSID mode, there might be wifi issues. Change the settings to remove the hidden SSID.
3. There is a PSP mode (Power save polling) mode in the hardware which will put the wifi to sleep if the phone goes to sleep (It is different than the wifi sleep policy) If the phone goes to this mode, some routers wont be able to send packets to the phone and this causes wifi to get disconnected.
If you try to connect to a public wifi, u should be able to connect. I guess the problem is only in ur home. I have the same problem but sadly i cant change any router settings since I stay in a university dorm...
Hope this helps!

Wanted to say I have a Verizon Actionteck router with FIOS and I am having the same issue with my Samsung Infuse 4G, only I am not using WPA I am using WPA2. I have to restart my device and then the device will work. Currently with WPA2 and I hide the SID and have the setting "Connect even when not broadcasting" enabled.
Thoughts ? I still have the 2.2 OS yes rooted.
My note is functioning normally! I dont have any problems with connecting to wifi at home, friends' places and even public wifi at like tim hortons etc.
BUT it doesn't connect well to the wifi at my university... and it definitely isn't the problem with the wifi signal or anything as my phone (galaxy note) connects fine as well as my laptop etc... I am not sure how to solve this problem... let alone figuring out what exactly is wrong...
In order to sign into the school's wifi, one will need to put it an id and password.. its a WPA wireless network.
To be more precise, my note sometimes will be connected to the school wifi fine without any disconnection but very frequently (at least 75% of the time I open up my tablet at school) it will not be able to connect or sometimes disconnect stochastically. I will have to try turning my wifi on and off a few times and if that doesn't solve the problem (which is the case for most of the time) I try restarting my tablet.... most of the time if my tablet decides it doesn't want to connect, nothing seems to work! I will just have to try and connect to the wifi some other time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

More info: usually the error is authentication error or wrong password or just doesn't connect.... all the info inputted is correct

Your school Wi-Fi just sucks, it's unstable. Or you have on your note an app that uses an restricted protocol. As an example, a router can be set to drop any yahoo related connection. But most likely just an incompatibility between your note and the router.

Could it be a region area cause wifi networks of that size have a lot of different routers all over the place working together and each router can be programed individually to do certain things like drop as the previous post said yahoo related protocol for example so does it work in some areas and not others
I'm having this exact same problem at my school. The wifi will intermittent reconnect, and sometimes won't automatically connect when I enter the building, regardless of the signal strength. It will say "authentication error" sometimes when it doesn't auto connect. Often it will also reprompt for the WPA key even though the saved one is correct.
Wifi works flawlessly at home, work, and friend's houses, but has issues with the school's.

Had similar issues at my school, its not your tablet its the wifi generally the signal strength is bad and that's y i struggles to connects but works sometimes, i realised it was router and signal when even iphones had problems
I made a topic about this a while back. The success of connecting seems to depend on the proximity to the wireless base station and amount of other wifi devices. Even in the worst environments, if I go into settings and disable/enable wifi multiple times it will eventually connect. I get the authentication error fairly often and just ignore it, disabling/enabling until it connects successfully.
I think Samsung WiFi drivers just suck happens to me all the time if there ever a login to connect

I've noticed whenever I connect to a 5Ghz network, it's complete garbage. At my house, when I connect to 2.4 Ghz I get a consistent speed of around 75mbps, when I switch to 5 Ghz, I can't get more than 20 consistent. Sometimes it works super quick for a second, and then anything I try to do, web surfing, videos, downloading apps etc.... just suddenly stop as if I have no connection and never start again.
No issues here with 5ghz - can only suggest resetting router and phone, otherwise perhaps you have a faulty handset.
Also no problems here. I find the range off the antennas great.
Did several speedtests and no drop outs.
Just got mine and AC 5ghz works great. Getting 235/23 mbs on my home internet.
I have the same issue. Inconsistent connection and slow speeds on 5ghz, only way to fix is a router restart, but then if i turn off WiFi and re-enable, the problem returns. Possible IP issue?
When I received the phone 2.4ghz was fine (110/110) but 5ghz was not (550/3).
I had to go to setting > WiFi > Advanced (in the "..." menu near the gear on the upper right corner) and uncheck Wi-Fi optimization.
Then I got 550/250mbps
Not sure if it's relevant to your problem, but you could try that.
Good point. Seem to remember something similar on the 10 too. Thanks!
You're welcome Hope it will solve your issue.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Got a replacement handset yesterday, just to be sure that it wasn't the phone, same problem happens?!
I use a Linksys router, if the op is still on the thread, what about you? Have no issues on other 5ghz networks. Well, the other 2 that I've connected to.

I think I remember a bug with some Android phones on 5Ghz if IPv6 broadcasting was enabled in the router. Are you using this? Tried disabling it?

Thanks, i'll give that a try. I've never had this issue with any other phone, it's very odd and actually frustrating. While I can fix it at home, I wont be able to modify router settings when out and about, so if I struggle to get WiFi on the move, i'll be paying a fortune for data, which may force me to return the phone.
Just tested mine with Virgin Media router and WiFi optimisation turned on. Maxed out at 220Mbps

I'm noticing issues on a Linksys router as well. My wife's old M8 had an issue that would go away when Bluetooth was turned off.
I messed with settings tonight and it seems more stable. I just made 2.4 and 5 on SSID, and changed all band settings to Auto.

If its happening on other connected devices on your wireless network either 2.4 or 5Ghz try changing Router channels.
I've seen this happen on 2.4Ghz. Turns out since I lived in a pretty Wifi congested area the channel my router kept picking as "The best" was actually 6 and all the routers default to that channel. Literally that frequency was so bugged down my internet went from hitting 60-80Mbps down to Kbps. Wifi Analyzer showed all 12 channels were pretty full. I switched to 5Ghz only and immediately saw a difference, but the few channels I do have on my router are getting congested nowadays too.
Nowadays whenever my phones Wifi speeds hit the floor I do speedtest on other wifi devices and Ethernet speeds. If theres a significant difference I quickly use Wifi Analyzer to see if its time to switch channels.
when i got my htc u11 unlocked i had problems with the wifi not connecting at all or if it did it would disconnect. i found that there was a software update so i downloaded it on my mobile data. once installed everything started working correctly. mine will connect at 866mhz to my dlink-879 ACN router
The ivp6 thing or whatever is what I did when I got the m9, it wouldn't connect to my wifi at first and it was 5ghz

I forgot about that option. Had issues with my 10 when it came out a d that fixed it, so far it's working on my 11.
Still having issues with this. Tried above suggestions, not specified a channel, currently set to auto. My M9 and 10 have no issues holding a fast connection. Getting a bored of it now, as trying to stream Le Mans and it constantly cuts signal.

Hi Guys,
My return to HTC from the Rezound days to the U11 have been less than smooth, it seems. First I have the strange SD card corrupt issue... And now I've got this "sticky" WiFi issue...
Let me try to explain:
So, I'm on Stock phone, straight set up as I got it from Amazon. My Internet bandwidth speed tests around 250mbps on an average. And the speeds remain the same when I experience the issue. Essentially what happens is that randomly my internet starts to "stick" meaning, I'd click on a link, it'll take forever and a half and then the page loads out of nowhere. Similarly, I'd be syncing files to Google Drive and my file upload or download starts crawling ?...
The fix: Toggle WiFi on and off and starts flying again! I haven't noticed the issue while on data (I think)...
I have optimizations off for WiFi. WiFi stays fast on other devices... So I'm not sure what's going on? Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!
Haven't experienced it for now on 11.
WiFi was something "messy" on my 10, but all good so far on 11.
Might be some router compatibility issues, from top of my head and without first morning coffee see if it happens on both 2.4 and 5 ghz frequencies and if you can disable ipv6 on your router..

Thanks for your response. I believe it's the Comcast XB3 the big black router with the phone lines and 4 computer ethernet ports and etc... In the background, it might be a Cisco router... Have you found a fix for this?

hi. i have the exact same problem as you but only on the 5ghz band. no option to select just 2.4 GHz band is a letdown. i use a virgin media hub 3.0 CH7465, ipv6 in stateless mode. had to disable 5ghz band from router to use the phone on wifi. no issues with mobile data. another issue, unrelated, is the vibration feedback on key press every now and again.

Thanks for reporting and sharing, friend... I'm wondering why more people aren't seeing this or we just got a bad unit? Hopefully HTC finds out and does something about it... ?
Hello !
I am Naphtaline, owning a Sony Xperia XZ Premium and we are experiencing some of your issues there too.
It looks-like the problem could be related to Snapdragon 835 or Android Nougat but we can't be sure yet.
While our problem are not always exactly the same as you, we can say that it could be possible that there are Wifi issues on every snapdragon 835 based device yet on the market.
So, I made a survey to help us understanding this problem. We could then send the results to our brands to help them resolve it.
Please share this link to every people you know owning a flagship device, even if they don't experience the issue. This is very important !
If there are moderators here, if you could make a pinned topic about this survey, this would be marvelous !
https://goo.gl/forms/xePus2lCrjrBjk9b2
Thank you !
this issue is hard to replicate, I tried doing 20 or so speed tests yesterday trying to get it to fail but wouldn't...I know in the past when the issue was present, I switched to 2.4 with no change...I don't have this issue on most routers, only my home router (TP-Link Archer C7) but there again, the issue is so intermittent that it's possible it could happen on other routers but just not noticing.
Pretty sure I've been having this issue since day 1, but I'm trying to tell myself it's just my router, which it's not, as it happens on any wifi network. Also, phone suddenly decided to drop my Verizon signal, and now it won't reconnect. HTC has no fixes for either issue, and Verizon says it's HTC's fault for the signal. Definitely my last HTC phone.
With 5Ghz, if i go to a room little far from where the router is, it would not work but the Speedtest would show amazing speed. Whereas the 2.4Ghz works fine in that room.
FWIW guys the dropped connection effect is happening on my 2.4 SSID as well... Only, momentary fix is toggling off and on.... Have any of you tried a replacement? Maybe we got flawed units?
I am also experiencing this issue and it's driving me nuts! The quick fix is to toggle WiFi on/off, but I shouldn't have to do that.
I have the Xfinity XB3 router, but I do not think it's the router because I also have an S7 Edge where I am not experiencing this issue. I'm going to try using the 2.4 SSID, but from what I've read in this thread so far, it does not sound like that's going to help.
I too am experiencing this issue on the 5Ghz channel of my router. It seems to work initially, but only after a few minutes, it starts to have connection issues. When I switch to the 2.4 Ghz channel, it works just fine, always, no connection issues whatsoever. I just did the survey. Thanks for compiling this, I hope a fix is determined. I have the US Unlocked version, Viper U11 1.3.0 w/ Magisk v12 and module v1.10.1.
The problem is wifi drop-off. Even though the device is showing a good signal the data throughput is weak. If you move closer to the router the wifi will jump back into life. Its due to not having an iso standard for signal strength displays.

Same here..
For me it happens only with my home router networks (Linksys WRT1900ACS).
I found that this drop issue only happens when I'm far from my router when the signal is below -65dBm and only if the 5GHz network is on 80MHz-bandwidth and 2.4GHz is on 40MHz-bandwidth.
Lowering to 40MHz for 5GHz and 20MHz for 2.4GHz solves this problem completely for me.
Two important notes:
1) This behavior only happens with the U11. With other devices like the G6, iPhone 6s and etc. everything works fine at the same time when my wifi networks are on 5GHz 80MHz and 2.4GHz 40MHz.
2) On other 2.4GHz 40MHz-bandwidth networks that I've connected (other than my home's) I don't experience this drops at all with the U11, even when I'm very far away from the router and the signal is very weak.
So this problem seems to be only between the U11 and some routers on some configurations. Very strange
