Hey guys and gals. Is anyone else having problems with their WiFi not connecting to certain networks after the 4.4.4 update? My phone will connect to my home WiFi with no problem..but won't connect to any other WiFi source. Any ideas??

No issues here. Connects at home, work and wifi at other people's houses.

Have you tried changing your wifi frequency on your phone?
Yep..it works fine at my house which is a 5gjz wifi network. But won't connect to anything else. Not even the mobile hotspot on my S5
Edit: changed the frequency band on my galaxy s5 mobile hotspot to 5ghz and now my Droid connects to it. It seems the phone will no longer connect to any 2.4 GHz networks

I'm at my parents and connected to their WiFi no problem 2.4 GHz. At home I'm connected to 5 GHz no problem. I have experienced no WiFi issues.

I have this issue with 4.4.2. Its been happening to me for awhile. I recently wiped my phone and started over and thought it was fixed but it can back last night.

Solo...Verizon sent me a replacement device..and lo and behold..I'm having the exact same issue. I can not connect to any 2.4Ghz WiFi networks. I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this. Verizon replaced the phone with no argument.. Yet my replacement does exactly the same things.

Go to Settings > WiFI and press the menu icon, choose Advanced > WiFi Frequency Band. Ensure this setting is "Auto"
It is.
P.s. all of a sudden after a few reboots seems to be working.

Now it stopped again...and won't connect to any 2.4ghz wifi again... sooo frustrating. It clearly has to be a bug in 4.4.4

Could it be your wifi router is going bad? are you having this problem connecting to networks other than your home network?
Yes. Nothing that runs on 2.4ghz. At my work that's all we have. At home on 5ghz works perfect. Router is dual band..and my S5 connects fine. Also when I turn on my S 5 mobile hotspot and set it to 2.4 gigahertz that doesn't work either

Given that no one else (from what I saw here) can recreate, I would say it isn't software but hardware. CLNR devices do have issues. Call Verizon again and see what they say
I've contacted both Moto and Verizon. Verizon is sending me another replacement. Hopefully this one works better than the one I have in my hand at the moment. The strange thing is that the phone I had before this one was fine before 4.4.4. Sooo idk. If I don't have any luck with this next replacement then I will call Moto and have them send me a replacement.
Edit: its a shame too..cause this phone is ridiculously smooth

UPDATE!!!: Soooo after 2 hrs in Verizon...an hour on the phone with customer service..and and hour on the phone with Moto tech support..a chance call from my Motorola rep and she fixed my phone in 2 seconds. Apparently..there is a glitch in 4.4.4 that prevents the lower frequency wifi from working with Bluetooth. Turning off Bluetooth and a quick reboot and WiFi is perfect!!

HI, we recently bought an 802.11n compatible router called Asus RT-N13U and its visible to every pc in the house inclufing the xbox 360 and the ps3 but its totally invisible to my nexus s its like it doesnt exist. We have tried disconnecting everything but still didnt work. I need help and this phone is not rooted.

Probably broadcasting on a channel which Android has disabled for your country. Switch to a channel between 1 and 12 on your router, may need to take off auto. An app like Wifi Analyzer should be able to see the network no problems.
Its on channel 11. My old was on 11 too but it worked...

Make sure you have set your router to use the 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz.
It is set to 2.4 ghz and wifi analyzer cant see it

Be sure your router was configured to WPA/WPA2 security,not WEP,and that the router is visible (Wireless SSID : ON) .

Anyone else having issues streaming youtube or google play sample tracks over wifi? 3g works fine, wifi connection says "lost connection to server". Works fine w the other phones using wifi in the house. Tried restoring back to my first post root save w the same effect. Any thoughts?

My youtube is touchy over 3G, might just be the connection but it'll play just fine unless I try to skip ahead.
Thanks KP.
I will try a different network today. Odd that the other androids in the house have no problem on the network. Thought it may have had something to do w the "officially unlocked" boot loader. But if no one else is having this problem it must be my network, or my phone. Maybe different protocols are used...?

For posterity sake, I narrowed this issue down to my network. Specifically the Airave 2.5 that sprint just sent me.

I believe it, pos... put it behind my router & all is well. Never did like the idea of having it between my router & modem anyway.

Haven't done or changed anything. I have wifi on my tab turned on at all times. When I leave my house the tab disconnects and when I come home it reconnects until yesterday. When I got home yesterday I noticed it wasn't connecting, my tab recognized my home network with no problems but I had to reenter the password. Very inconvenient if I have to enter the password every time I am home.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Have you tried the obvious, reboot the router, then reconnect?
Also, does it forget the password with any other router?
I have the same problem too. And it doesn't only happen at home but also other networks.
i had noticed since the upgrade (via mobile odin), my tab 7.7 longer see the 5ghz wifi network, however my note 1 and other devices sees the 5ghz network just fine

a full wipe also fixed this issue..
Ever since my device got bricked and flashed the the original firmware, my connection on wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnects even though im like 10 feet away from my router. This bothers me because I cant play online games. Is there anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
I suggest you turn off your router (or also disconnect the cord) for 30 seconds, turn off your WiFi on your phone, then plug it back in and turn on your WiFi again and check. Otherwise it might be a phone problem.
I'll give it a try
...When im connected to other wifi network this doesnt happen.

You should consider buying a new Wireless Router which is more powerful. As your statement, that this issue doesn't happen in other WiFi network, try to check the speed of your internet, traffic, etc.
My other devices works fine

try to forget the network, restart your phone and connect again.

So the issue must be the communication between your phone and the device. Try to restart the phone, or remove your wifi, and then enable it again.
try this
go to settings> WiFi > advance > keep WiFi on during sleep > select always on
I tried, the problem is still there

problem solved and a question-why does unstable wifi mess with usb?
My phone kept getting disconnected from my computer. This was apparently happening because my wifi was unstable. Not sure why the phone disconnected, I was connected via usb. The wifi was unstable because I was using a proxy. When I use my comcast connection straight through the problems go away. If someone can explain why an unstable wifi can screw up a usb connection I'd be grateful. Windoze issues?
Googled and tried fixes to get wifi working normally after updating to marshmallow but no luck. The speeds are pathetically slow tried clearinh cache, factory rest, tried google DNS settings anybody find a fix ?

Sounds like I've had in the past. Try this:
Turn off VoLTE and wifi calling.
Reboot and test wifi. If your speeds are back then it's because of those things.
I was plagued with the slow wifi issue ever since the Note 4....essentially for two whole years. Finally figured out it was they service being crap in NOCO.

Oh I'm sorry dude. Other than those "tricks" I have no idea what else it might be. My guess is maybe try fresh start again to see if it gets fixed.
