I'm having some issues with wifi, stock 4.1.2 n8010.
The connection isn't dropped, but wifi stalls or stops, particularly in the youtube app. Sometimes its stuck trying to load a video, or gives up with a network error, until I retry several times, or I turn wifi off and back on.
When browsing, its not as apparent, but there are random stalls when loading a webpage.
I've tried with a netgear and a linksys router, with WPA, WPA2, WEP, and unsecured. So far only the unsecured network shows improvement, but I'd rather not leave it like that.
I dont have access to a 5ghz signal to test.
Every other device works fine on both routers.
There was another thread with a similar issue, but it was rather old, and didn't help in this case.
Some suggestions were to turn off wifi power saving mode on similar devices, but I can't find this setting on the n8010 (wifi only)
Anything else that might help solve or troubleshoot this?
First and only bump, still no progress..
Any ideas, or anything really, are welcome
Did you solve this... I have a similar problem with n8000 ? Annoying cos i'm using it as a remote game control for tv box, and it keeps cutting out.
Thanks.

I just upgraded my router to a wireless one. Firstly, it's connected via ethernet to a PC and it is happily getting internet access.
On my i5500 I get a strong wifi signal. Wifi Analyser shows the signal at max constantly. I can also connect with Gmote and it works just fine.
The problem is that I can't actually access the net at all from the phone.
So basically I know that my phone is talking to the router with no problem. It's just getting out onto the internet.
Does anyone know of a solution?
try logging into your router and change the broadcast channel to something else and test it again. it should be something like a/b/g mode... define a single channel and see if it works.
I had originally thought that was working. It did for the first few minute where I had connection but then it just dropped.
I have noticed that I have some very small bursts where I can connect.
Do you think that trying the different channels may be the solution?
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?
Still no solution. I went through every channel and every encryption method.
So far I've found that having the channel set on 'Auto' and then disabling encryption seems to give me internet connection through WIFI for at least the initial period but it eventually drops. But that's also not always.
I've also Googled it to death and found nothing. If you do find the solution please post it here and I'll do the same.
Maybe we can help each other.
make sure you entered the right password of wlan.
use a pc to connect the router and in the wlan you'll find the password.
Ok, just to clarify. My phone connects to the Router via WLAN. In fact I can use Gmote to control my PC. So the WLAN connection is great.
The problem is accessing the internet when using that connection.
I had similar problems with a router last year. I resolved the issues by flashing DD-WRT firmware. The manufacturer's firmware was junk.

I had that idea but they don't have firmware for my router yet. I have asked them if they intend to make one.
Any chance the firewall on your phone is blocking your browser from using the Wifi?

I have no firewall on my phone.
Ok I've tried some new stuff and they I've had the longest connectivity so far (which is about half an hour).
First I made sure my Wifi wasn't set to turn off when the screen goes to sleep. Second, according to a forum I read, Netgear recommends channel 7. If that channels doesn't work try 1,3,6,9,11,13.
I then disabled encryption.
Fortunately no one near me uses Wifi at all and I've got the kind of walls that stop the signal from getting outside.
Anyway. It's working so far but I'll monitor and report.
[edit] And I forgot. The router was checking for firmware but it wasn't actually finding so I downloaded it myself. Seems that also made a difference.
Ok. I can confirm after 2 and a half hours my internet connection is stable. I even left half way through and when I came back it connected perfectly.
So as a summary here's what I did:
1) Get latest firmware
2) Change channel to 7
3) Disable encryption
I will change encryption and see if it still works
My Galaxy note 10.1 is having problems with wifi. Connecting is not a problem, but at random intervals no communication between my router and the device occurs. At such times it claims it is still connected but only the green upload arrow is on, and none of the programs, like email en the browser, work. Toggling wifi to off and then on again fixes the situation, until it happens again at a seemingly random time later. I don't have problems with any of the other devices (windows laptops, ipad etc) that connect to this router.
Anyone an idea what this is and how to fix it? Or do I just have a faulty product and should return it?
I am running the original Samsung OS.
Does this happen on EVERY router You connect with ?
As it was with SGS II there are several routers/router types that "speak different connection languages" and/or have to be readjusted in their settings ........
Try first on a different router to check wether it is really the 10.1 causing the problem ....................

Thanks for the reply! Yes it disconnects on both the router at home and at work. So it is the 10.1 causing the problem. Also it looks like the problem is getting worse. It disconnects much more frequently, to the point that it has become unusable. Am I the only one with this problem? If so I should return it.
Thanks for your help.

Turned out to be a hardware problem. Returned the device and got it replaced. Works perfectly now.
I've had my Note since 8/24. No Wi-fi problems until today. I kept loosing the connection. The Note told me about it. It automatically switched to a different access point.
I turned my router off then on. It's been at least 6 hours without a problem.
Is there any way to be certain what the source of a connection problem is?
I have just discovered my wifi turns on and off every ten seconds when I connect to a Bluetooth headset or keyboard. Maddening.

Interesting. I use a BT speaker while watching Netflix. Periodically it loses the wifi connection, and I have been blaming it on my ISP and throttling. Maybe the issue is actually something different. Need to test it tonight.

Hi,
After updating to jellybean my wireless keeps disconnecting when i try to use it (data transfer/internet).
Sometimes it reconnects after about 30 seconds, but other times it wont reconnect until i forgot the network, and connect again.
The router is about 3 feet from me, and is on an otherwise empty channel. Its currently set to use b/g/n.
After some googling, it appears that this should have been fixed in Jellybean, but google did something (When i find the link again, i will ammend this) in ICS that meant b/g/n mode didn't work.
When i get home later today, im going to try changing the mode to see if this solves my problem, however i would like to know, Are other people having this same problem ? or is it just me ?
Resetting the wireless router might help.
There's a couple of threads going about wifi after updating to JB.
Someone had mentioned a router reset fixed poor connectivity.

Am I seriously the only one who saw an improved WiFi signal after the JB update?
As Thats OK said, try resetting your router. If that doesn't work, set a Static IP on your tablet.
Having a wifi problem with my tab where I lose connection randomly, most often when it's coming out of a sleep state but sometimes when it is active also. It will say that my wireless connection is "not in range." I'm on AOKP 4.2.2.
I don't think it is the tab itself, since I did not have the problem when I was running Hydro. Other wireless devices in my house are fine also, so I don't think it's the router. It was suggested that I try the wifi-fixer app, and that does seem to help reconnect it, but I'd like to have a more permanent fix if it's out there. I do have the option to keep wifi "on" during sleep in settings. Is there anything else I can check on my end to see why this happens or solve the problem? TIA
I have an Asus ZenFone 2 that I have recently reflashed to stock, thinking it would fix the issue (which it has not).
The wifi on my home network shows that it's connected, and I have it set up so that wifi is working while the phone is sleeping, but sometimes it just stops. I get errors watching YouTube, apps that require internet connection stop responding, etc.
My router (Linksys E1550) has a basic setup, nothing out of the ordinary there. I never had this issue with my old phone (Galaxy Nexus) and the same router.
Any suggestions? I don't really have any other wifi network to test it against, unfortunately.
