Is anyone else noticing that their WiFi doesn't exactly drop, but just stops working apparently at random?
I notice this when sending a message via Hangouts, it won't send for a minute or two. Just three bouncing dots. My WiFi still shows connected, but the message doesn't send.
Same with Hangouts video chat. It will freeze up on me, and have a poor connection/experience, but when I switch to T-Mobile's network, no issues.
I haven't had this WiFi issue on any other devices in my home. (Droid Incredible, Galaxy Nexus, HP Touchpad w/Jelly Bean).

I am experiencing the exact same issue. I just turned off WiFi optimization as suggested and we will see what happens.
Just received mine, I'll check it on my home Wi-Fi. My work Wi-Fi is suspect because the building is old and we've had a tough time getting things to work around here. Lol.

Artem Russakovskii posted on g+ that the nexus 5 has issues with networks that use a 5 ghz signal. Apparently using another channel solves the problem. Similar to the issues chromecast/nexus 7 has on 5 ghz networks. Changing it is worth a shot, most routers have an option to change it.
edit: (assuming you are using a 5 ghz channel)

Just happened to me again with YouTube. Video stopped playing half way through. The only way to get the video to finish was to turn off wifi and switch to LTE. I had wifi optimization off, and I do not have a 5GHz router.

Even though my router is not 5 GHz I just went into my phones settings, WiFi, Advanced and changed the WiFi Frequency band from Auto to 2.4 Ghz. Maybe that will help? It seemed to work right away without me having to turn wifi off and on again so there is that. I need to use it awhile though.
Do you have any antivirus programs running? I had to uninstall mine because it was causing wifi issues.

I've been having some pretty terrible Wi-Fi reception. Especially on my school's campus. There will be a router on the ceiling directly above me, and I'll get like one or two bars maybe, and terrible speeds.
Just tried turning off Wi-Fi optimization, maybe it'll work better.
UPDATE: This seems to have fixed it. I just downloaded an app at 6 MB/s from the play store in the same spot I've always had problems.

I am having the same issue with my N5, there's a thread at Android Central discussing this issue: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/329226-nexus-5-wifi-problem-4.html
Basically, if I watch a YouTube video that's at least 5 minutes long, I won't be able to finish it as the video will pause at least one or two minutes after starting. This is not YouTube buffering the video either, the video will just pause forever.
Another test is open up Chrome and type words into the URL bar. Auto suggests will appear, if I keep doing this, sooner or later there will be no auto suggest appearing, suggesting network connection is either dropped or became very slow.
I am connecting to an Asus RT-N16 router in 2.4Ghz N mode. Tried turning off Wifi optimization, and other router settings (20Mhz spread, G only mode, other frequencies, etc) and same problem persists.
Since this problem is not as common, I am suspecting this maybe a router incompatibility between N5 and Asus Rt-N16. Anyone reading this thread, if you are having this (or not) issue, please post your router model + settings. Thanks.
I have (2) N5's, a white one and a black one. The black one is very "flaky" with regards to wifi and battery drain. I initially noticed the problem with battery drain where it would drop 20% in two hours with <1m of screen time. It would also go from 100% to 4% over the course of a day with <50m of screen time. I initially did not use the phone much as I was trying to figure out the drain problem, but now that I have been using it more, I've experienced wifi drop outs, where the signal indicator shows connected with a strong signal. I have never experienced that amount of battery drain or any wifi problems with the white one. Both connect to the same routers. I have an Asus 802.11AC router at home. The only AC devices I have are the N5's and my laptop, but the laptop and white N5 has never had trouble. At work I have several TP-Link 802.11N routers in the ceiling throughout our building and a Netgear 802.11N router in our IT sandbox lab. I've tried changing channels, 2.4 vs 5Ghz, updating router firmware and performing factory resets on my home router and the Netgear at work, all to no avail. I've done factory wipes on both phones many times trying to find some reason for one to behave in such a way where the other does not. All I can come up with is that the black one is defective. What's worse, some days the black one will work just fine on wifi and I'll see expected battery drain.
Another update: I went to Paradise Bakery (sandwich shop with free wifi) to test out the wifi. The N5 connected to the wifi fine, but unable to get pass the 'Agree to EULA' login page. I brought along my work HTC One and it was able to connect and get pass the agreement page with no problems. I am beginning to think there's something wrong with the wifi on my N5.

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

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.

This isn't the case with me. I used my phone continuously on WiFi for about 2 hours this morning with any issues. I'm connected to a Wireless-N 5.4GHz network, so there shouldn't be any problems here (my friends' phones won't work on the 5.4GHz network).
Try going to a Starbucks or something and testing their WiFi there and see if you have the same issues.

I have the same problem, but i have 3 routers in the house i can connect too, 2 are 2.4ghz, the third has both 2.4 and 5ghz and i find that i get a stable connection to the 5ghz.. if i let wifi be on 2.4/5 auto then i find the signal drops all thetime, if i lock it to a spectrum it seems to stabilize although it occaisionally drops out.
I'm noticing some wifi issues as well. It seems to jump up and down. Also speed tests are quite slow compared to my other devices that are connected to the network. For example, on my ipad i get 20mbps on a speed test and the htc one x only gets about 8 mbps.
Got mine on release, no problems so far.
Like Dan said, try connecting to another network and report back.

tried it at work, both tablet and nexus work fine there, one x just times out and drops, guess i will be returning tomorrow.
will set it up in the store and make sure it works on there wifi before leaving with it.
While using the phone in a spot with poor wifi reception, I've noticed the wifi icon completely goes away sometimes. It will then pop back on shortly thereafter. Is this normal behavior when it thinks the wifi signal is completely gone?
I just picked one up yesterday and have been having issues. In my bedroom it will read 2 bars, drop to one, then shut off. Comes back on within seconds. This phone seems to have WiFi issues for a lot of users.

This is exactly how mine behaves too. I'm in the room with my router so I normally have full bars (and should) but every once in a while the signal goes away and comes right back 2 seconds later. I've tested it with 2 routers, a linksys running dd-wrt and a d-link one, both have the same results.

I don't think what I am experiencing is a hardware issue at all. Im not even moving the phone when this happens, and my phone passes the squeeze test. I'm confident this means it has to be software related.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
This is kind of an old/dead thread by now, but I just wanted to share my experience with wifi on the One X.
I'm also having problems, but I'm currently running a nightly (though very stable) build of CM10 on my One X and still have wifi issues. This COULD be hardware related, in that it's just crappy hardware (though it could also be software related if CM10 is built using wifi "code" (not really sure what the correct term for the wifi stuff in the software is ) from the stock software)
I'm sitting at work right now, for example, and every once in a while the wifi will disconnect. When connected it shows 2-3 wifi bars, when it's NOT connected, my wifi network shows up as "not in range" .
same type of thing has happened at my house. I thought my phone was defective so I traded it in for a replacement at best buy. Same issue. Such a shame becuase I really like everything else about this phone and wifi was never an issue on my last HTC device.
kernel changes affect wifi. some of the cm10 builds have known wifi issues.
i would never think of returning a phone because of an experience with a custom rom, since the phone wasn't built to run that rom.
always revert to full stock and see if you still have the issue. also updated ota/ruu are made to fix issues also. at&t rom doesn't have many stock wifi issues, but you can always run into issues with wifi access point incompatibilities.

I've been having the same issues... I have a laptop that doesn't seem to have any problems with my current router (Medialink Wireless N router I got off Amazon - good router until this issue...). It also doesn't matter how close I am to the router either. I've been sitting 2 feet from my router, and it will still continuously disconnect and reconnect. Let me know what your findings are...
Idk if this will help: settings/wifi/menu/advanced/keep wifi on during sleep. I have mine set to always, no problem here. If that doesn't help try assigning an ip through your routers dhcp.

Ok....so it does still happen....on my Netgear 7550, Linksys E4200, Linksys E3000, and almost every other network I connect to...it is really frustrating...
It happens to me when I'm in my apartment bedroom some on the far side (I normally plug it up at night to my right on the headboard) which is about furthest from my router I can get inside...but otherwise I don't have the issue when I'm closer. I've started wondering if the phone just doesn't pick up wi-fi as well, though in fairness I have a single-antenna fairly cheap Rosewill router (RNX-N150RT).
Change the wifi ip settings on the phone from dhcp to auto. Mine was set to default to dhcp.

Yeah, I have the same issue. I've discovered that it doesn't disconnect if I'm within 5 feet of the access point, which isn't exactly a great option, but does suggest maybe a software fix or a straightforward hardware hack like the Atrix 2.
Ok so even after the update the wifi still drops....even when i am right next to the router....but I can say that when i am using WiFi tether it doesn't drop the tether connection....it all seems weird to me...

Possible solution - try this and see if it works for you
Was running into this problem on my new Pho Q (too fun calling it that), where it would drop wifi and report a connection was available on the left side, then connect again, every 15s to a min.
To resolve (at least so far now for me for about an hour):
Settings - Wifi - Menu - Advanced:
Uncheck Show Reminders
It seemed that having it popup a reminder of available networks could be related to it noticing my available network every few seconds, and it seems to have helped me. Try it and report back. :highfive:
Ok, seems its still happening, but far less often at least. When I have some time, I'll try to do an A-B-A test but it does seem better than it was before disabling the setting.

Someone thought it was related to smart actions - do you have any of those enabled?
I've never had any issues with wifi - and I've used many different types of routers and security models.
Have you tried changing your wireless channel on your router or gateway? By default most start on 6, so changing it to 1 or 11 might reduce interference from nearby wireless signals. Are you a long distance from your router/gateway?

Tried changing the channel, but still disconnects and reconnects often. None of my other devices (laptops, tablets, other smartphones) have any issues keeping connected. I'm still at a loss...
Anyone have any luck fixing this? When my wife's photon Q connects to our home network, no problem. No drops whatsoever. But when she connects to her work WiFi, despite a strong signal, it would drop every few minutes.
Every couple of minutes my N5 disassociates then reassociates itself with my router (BT HomeHub 4). Have tried wifi fixer app, setting static ips and replacing router and changing wifi channels . Other devices connected to router are fine so can only assume issues lie with the phone given the wider wifi issues around connecting to saved wifi spots and download speeds etc. I don't have these problems just these constant drop outs and reconnections. Am running CM nightlies and Elemental-X kernel. What would give the best hope of a fix. New Rom/kernel/radio/data wipe or all four? Or does my problem lie with the router? Any advice welcome as it is really irritating - particularly as I get no mobile service at home! Thanks

Thanks. Did a wipe and moved from CM to AICP. Still got the issue so help us 4.4.3, you're our only hope.

plagued? i have never had a problem with wifi.
what wifi type are you using? N? G? AC?
Try the common WiFi work arounds: setting your phone to only use 2.4Ghz (instead of 5Ghz or Auto) and toggling off the mobile data setting when using WiFi.
Well 4.4.3 seems to have made absolutely no difference.
Maybe it's faulty. If you've already tried another router there's not much else it can be. Try and get it repaired or swapped out.
I've not had a homehub 4, but never had Nexus specific issues with my HH 3 or 5.
