Go into wifi settings and mess around with the wifi optimizer and always scanning function. Turn them on and off to see if that fixes anything.
My problem ended up being my router. I have to hard reset it for it to stop. Phones would disconnect every 15 seconds while desktop was every 30 mins

Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel, no joy. Anyone else experience this?Anyone got a fix?
Tried deactivating stamina?
Yep, it's deactivated. Still doesn't fix it. It's very annoying. Only noticed it since Lollipop update. Anything else I can try?
EDIT-Just been reading online that baby monitors may interfere with wifi.......I've 2 baby monitors for my toddler and newborn......would this be causing my wifi to drop in and out???I've tried all 13 channels on my Sky broadband router but no luck....
My wifi drops in/out when the signal is poor so it may be related to the babyphones?
I've turned the 2 baby monitors off and wifi on z3 still dropping in and out. What next?? Is my phone damaged?

Try safe mode (Long press the power button, then long press the power off button onscreen, click ok) and see if the problem persists.
Have you tried different routers? Have you tried turning laptop/wife's phone into a hotspot and connecting to that? Get an app like wifi analyser and see it looks like your wifi is acting normal there. Is wifi turning off or is it just disconnecting from the router (the icon might be misleading).
It's staying on now in safe mode, thanks! But why is that happening? I did a factory reset as I thought phone was broken! Pity, I should have waited for your advice!
Edit, unstable again. Coming in and out.
Tried again this morning in safe mode. Problem still there. Wifi turns on then icon goes off and it searches and connects again. Then goes off etc. I downloaded wifi analyser but don't know what to do now?? I'm not very tech minded.
I'll look up how to turn laptop into hotspot. Thanks for your help so far.
PS -I just remembered that the Bluetooth on the phone kept connecting and disconnecting in my car this week.... Would that have anything to do with the wifi issue?
EDIT- downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?
Hi!
I have some problems with WIFI on my tablet, it disconnects randomly from my WIFI network quite often, at home this isn't too much of a problem as the device reconnects itself in a few, but then I traveling with trains, the device disconnects as soon as I stop browsing the web for a few minutes, and then fails to reconnect itself, turning WIFI on and off makes the device able to connect again but only for a few minutes, then the problem reappear.
I have already tried to disable powersaving mode, set WIFI to never sleep in WIFI options and turning off WIFI optimization too. Neither of these fixed my problems., factory reset didn't help me either, as this happens on trains too, I can't change the router settings either, is there anything else I can try???
I also send my device into Asus repair serviceservice 2 times, first time they did troubleshoot my battery charging (which was working flawless and I asked them to troubleshoot my WIFI not battery), second time they was troubleshooting my WIFI error, but screwed up the battery.
Third time they replaced the motherboard and after all this I'm still stuck with my broken WIFI.
Please help me
Tab 2 rooted w/cwm CM11 since forever see IMG.
Wifi goes out, have to toggle off/on then it stays on for a while again. Sometimes its on for 30 to 45 mins and sometimes it cuts out after 10 mins.
Could wifi doohicky be worn out?
No battery saver app running, just greenify. Tab has minimal apps running and 2 games, have not added apps for over a year.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Solved/ :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
My issue was not the tablet or OS/firmware, the problem was my WiFi router.
Running a netgear N600 DB WiFi router with multiple devices connected via Ethernet cable and WiFi signal throughout the house, all other devices worked properly with no issues whatsoever when it came to internet access.
Yet tablet kept disconnecting or loosing signal and would have to toggle WiFi off/on to get it started again. Never suspected router because all other devices worked properly with no signal strength loss or degradation.
After monkeying around with tab with no solution I decided to restart router, had nothing to lose, whatever, and as soon as I restarted router issue was gone, turn on WiFi and it stays on until I turn it off, even if tablet is idle for days, I wake it and WiFi connects immediately.
Now the router was having some signal issue with just the tab and nothing else,I also have two other devices connected that are similar in age and technology to this tab and these showed no signal issues whatsoever.
So the moral of the story is, don't discount your router just because everything else is working properly with the router and network.
Now my tab has to see a therapist because I called it "a piece of $#it" and it wasn't even the tabs fault.

Hi,
I have a problem with wifi connection on Honor 8 (FRD-L09C432B399, EMUI 5.0.1) - I have no problem to connect to wifi networks, but wifi is spontaneously shutted down regardless of whether I am connected or not on router/modem. The wifi switch is still on (blue), but all visible networks disappear, the phone disconnects from the connected network, and it takes a few seconds before the phone finds networks again and automatically connects to the known network. I made a factory reset, but without success, rather it seems to me that the situation has worsened and wifi fails nearly every 10 seconds.
Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Thx.

Are you sure, 'Keep wifi off, during sleep' isnt set to 'Always'? As you already have resetted to factory set it shouldnt be. Although please verify.
Yes, it is; also 'Wi-Fi+' is dissabled.
This is my second phone to have this problem. First was my old S4, now my S7 has the same problem. Basically, I want to watch YouTube or Netflix on my phone over Wi-Fi, and I want to listen to it on a bluetooth headset. But after a few minutes of watching/listening, my Wi-Fi connection always dies, I get that little exclamation point next to the Wi-Fi symbol in my notification panel, and the only way to fix it is to turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on. It'll work for another couple minutes, then die again and need to be reset. Bluetooth stays connected the whole time and never drops. It's just the Wi-Fi that gets dropped. If I turn Bluetooth off and just listen via phone speaker or wired headphones, no problem, Wi-Fi can cruise all day.
The research I've done suggested that 2.4GHz might be causing a problem, but my network is 5GHz. Another suggestion was to switch the phone to a static IP address, that didn't help. I'd also read that Android has problems with IPv6, so I went to disable that in my router and discovered that it's never been on.
So, I found three solutions on my own, and none of them worked. Now it's time to reach out to the brain trust here. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? Vanilla S7, no root or ROMs. Thanks!

Have you tried the usual first step in troubleshooting, have you tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition?
You can also try flashing the stock firmware for your model number via Odin.
