Anyone else having trouble with wifi? I have a connection to my home network and have used the 10 digit hex wep key. Even in the same room as the router (Linksys/Cisco), the signal strength is only about 50% and I can't even open a page in Opera.
SSID shows correctly
Mode: Infrastructure
Tx Rate: 54Mbps
RX Rate: 1 Mbps <-- is this the issue?
Channel 1
Advanced status shows: Associated to network.
Any ideas?

A call to HTC yielded nothing. I'm at my wits-end. Just turning wifi makes it almost impossible to load a website, I do better with just my marginal 3G service even though the wifi shows connected. Do you think a hard reset might help??

I'd also reset the wireless router too. Another possibility is there might be compatibility issues between the router and fuze. what router do you use? i'm using a linksys router and it's working fine. Obviously the signal the phone gets isn't as good as my Thinkpad's signal, but it does the job fine. I'm really enjoying this 3G speed, so I don't really use wifi that much - saves power!
only wifi problem i had was when i put in my wep key it rejected it the first time, and when i made it reconnect everything was fine. but at first it said my network was unavail.
Okay, try this - it's what worked for me:
Go to Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN.
On the bottom, choose the Power Mode tab.
Move the slider all the way over to Best Performance.
Fixed me right up.

I found that in a windows mobile support forum as a stated solution for anothe HTC project and tried it also, it worked!
Thanks!
I'm having problems connecting to a WPA encrypted router and it's driving me crazy.
It just hangs and hangs and hangs, but never connects. If I put in an incorrect pass, or bad info- it immediately will fail to connect, but with the correct info- it will continue to attempt to connect, but never finish.
I've changed it to "Best Performance" but that made no difference.
^ Happened to me also. Turned out that I didn't add the Fuze's MAC address to my router's allowed devices list in wireless security.
I'm having the same problems as OP. I'm using the Fuze straight out from the box and I've tried adjusting the power settings as suggested and still no luck. I've also hard resetted to no avail. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I don't have any issues with my wireless network, but I don't use an WPA encrypted router.
I have mine set to MAC address, and it work without issues.
I have a WEP encrypted router and it shows that I am connected. Do I need to set something up in settings -> connection -> connection? All I have are Media Net and "Work" listed. Seems like no one else is having this problem =/
I'm having a similar problem with my phone. I set my phone to maximum signal and the battery is just taking a hit. I can barely get a signal although it does work. I can't get the "free" ringtone to download off of their website, but no big loss. Wondering if the 3G/Edge would be a better bet.
Im also having a problem connecting to my network. it shows that im connected but doesnt now connect to the internet in internet explorer and other online apps. ive tryed...
restarting the router.
hard reset.
changing the power settings to high performance.
disabled hidden proxy as suggested on another thread.
exchanged my phone after being suggested by htc.
im using a linksys router. is it a compatibility issue?
this is driving me crazy; why are so many people having this problem?
I dont know if this goes here, but reading your problems, I think mine is a little different.
Where I live, in Mexico, almost everyone has internet service with the same Isp, who gives 2wire dlsmodem/routers with only a 10 digits wep encription (for default), the problem I have is that whenever I try to connect to any router (I've only tried with these) it asks for the wep key, but no matter what I put it always says that is incorrect. I tried disabling the encription and IT DOES work, but I dont control the other routers wich I want to connect to..
Any Ideas?
I am having the exact same problem. I could connect to an unsecured hotspot but can not connect to my WEP protected linksys/cisco router. It appears that linksys/cisco seems to keep popping up in this thread from folks having problem. Out of curiosity what model number of linksys/cisco do you have? Has anyone figured out a solution yet?
Go to configure wireless networks than go to the network adapters tab, click the first one IEEE 802.11 bg .... and make sure its set to user server assigned IP address.
Same problem here! tx @ 54 mbps rx @ 1mbps, and it doesn't change therefore i'm getting about 5meters distance before my connection becomes unstable (WTF). Using WPA2-PSK and set to performance.
P.S. all router incompatible comments are incorrect. There's a spec for .11 b/g and all hardware should be using this therefore it should work it's either a hardware fault or some settings aren't working correctly. BTW for me it's the same prob whether changing the ROM or radio, it doesn't change...
Same problem...never resolved? Fuze $200

Solution
I may have a solution, it worked for me on 3 routers so far and dramatically increased reception over distance and connection stability.
Open your WiFi router settings, go to advanced settings and look for something like Beacon Period. If I got it right, this is the interval between position updates and default setting should be 100.
If you lower this number, it will update your devices position more accurately and get you better stability.
Be warned it will probably marginally increase AP radiation and decrease bandwidth of the wifi connection by a percent or two, however I didn't notice any difference but a huge stability increase.
I am using Beacon Period 50 at home but anything from 50-75 works for me.
Enjoy
ok i did a search for WiFi problems everyone else's problem seems slightly different then mine
or not the same in the least
here is my problem
First i have NO data Plan so i turn 3g/4g off
then i Turn on WiFi and it works till i turn it off or reboot the phone
THEN even though it still connects to WiFi and my router says it's connected
i get no data throughput
no amount of resetting, deleting my router profile, rebooting phone, rebooting router, and messing with everything i can find INCLUDING setting my router to OPEN, changing the channel, changing from N to G or B from 40 mhz to 20
NOTHING works
EXCEPT
resetting phone to factory default
then it works again TILL i turn WiFi off or reboot/restart phone
any ideas ?
.
ok you can ignore this it has something to do with turning off the network 2g/3g/4g
I'm not sure what the setting is causing the problem, as I'm still looking into it
I'll post here when i find the setting that is causing the problem
in case it will help someone else
UPDATE:
ok under "Mobile network settings"
you can not turn off "Data enabled" (Enable data access over Mobile network)
why this affects WiFi i do not know as it should ONLY affect 2g/2g/4g
Because it says "Over Mobile network"
but it turns off WiFi data also
If i find anything else that effects WiFi I'll post it here
but for now this is the solution to my problem
PS: it's nice to be able to solve your own problem
PSS: don't call T-Mobile for help they will say you need flex pay or better plan to use WiFi, i hung up on the stupid bass-turd,
not to add to the fact it's super hard to understand their mangled English!
.
i got that problem last night, during my open box and testing the phone, all you have to do is reset the phone, then you are set to go; hope it works for you.
thanks for the reply
i found out what i was doing wrong
and edited my post
so others can not do what i did
thanks for the reply though
Maybe they did this on purpose to keep you from using the device with out a data plan. Who knows.
Has anybody tried to connect to a Time Capsule?? I cannot get my G2X to see my router for nothing. Is the G2X compatible with a N router??

maybe you should open your own thread about this ?
i do not use "Time Capsule" and not sure what it is (A router?)
to answer your last question the G2X supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot. so yes it supports the "N" standard
BUT
might not be compatible with ALL b/g/"N" routers
should be compatible with them all BUT might not be ...........
i am not an expert on routers, so cant say for sure
also could be that your router is to far away from your phone
your phones antenna is tiny, so has to be closer to the router then say a laptop or computer.
you might also want to consider going to a friends house and trying their wireless router.
anyway opening your own thread on this is your best bet

I have an airport extreme broadcasting mixed n/b/g and mine is really struggling. At first I thought it was the browser, but now it's doing it in both dolphin and the stock browser. It stalls a lot, connection seems to stop and restart. I already disabled wifi sleeping on the device. Pretty frustrating. Oh and mine is setup as hidden with no security on it at this time so that isn't the issue.

I did start my own thread.... and the wireless works everywhere else I connect to, The Time Capsule works because my laptops and everything wireless is working ok.
putting this up for those on cm7 (especially 2.3.5 and above) or on stock rom and are having problems with wifi connectivity. case in point is upon first boot after a clean install, device can connect to wifi w/ apparently no problems. on subsequent wifi wake, however, it's either wifi is:
stuck in scanning
connects then disconnects or
all network/s are not in range
...even though other devices such as laptops or iWhatever have no problems connecting & browsing.
you may also need to set the regulatory domain on your device (settings-->wireless & networks-->wifi settings-->menu-->advanced) depending on your region (ch.11 works for me here in the philippines). this should match (or be higher than) the one you'll set on your router, as attached.
got this to work on three legends (one on a dlink router and the rest on different models of linksys) and on a dhd(?), router unknown. this is not THE end-all/ultimate solution, however. consider it as a first step in troubleshooting. HTH

Hello everybody! My HTC Legend is not rooted. Yesterday i bought new router D-Link DIR 615. Everything is ok: my laptop founds the WiFi, my girlfriend cellphone (Nokia 5230) founds the WiFi and it works awesome for them, BUT my HTC Legend don't see the WiFi at all. I disableb the WiFi Protected Setup but still nothing. Made the Beacon period to 30 but still nothing. I config the router without any type of security but still no detecting the WiFi. The 802.11 mode is mixed, Auto Channel is on too and still nothing. Please any opinions?! Thank you in advance!
P.S. I am sorry for my bad english!

Anyone having problems with WiFi? My phone seems to easily disconnect from WiFi with the excuse of "Avoided poor internet connection". And it seems to have become worse after the v15e update. My phone is the H959 model from Singapore.

Give us some more info
Whats your router?
You are connected at 2.4 or 5ghz?
Are your channels congested? Try to find a better channel using wifi analyser

It happens on any network. I was on holiday in the US, and it kept dropping the connection. I thought it was just because hotel WiFi are just ****ty in general, but it happened at home and at work too.
The WiFi at home is an ASUS RT-AC68U, and I'm connected to the 5 GHz channel, and channel congestion is not a problem. 2.4 GHz is congested a lot, but the disconnect happens on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Most of the time, I would pick up the phone, and try to access a website and it would take forever. After a while it would say "Internet connection unavailable at *wifi name*". Then after a reconnect it usually works, and loads the page instantly.
At work, I'm wearing an Android Wear watch and installed the network change notifier, so every 10 minutes or so, my watch would tell me that I have disconnected from the WiFi and after 5 minutes it will connect back again... Signal strength is excellent, channel congestion is horrible, but it shouldn't disconnect that many times.

My house WiFi is an ASUS RT-AC68U, and I'm connected to the 5 GHz channel, and the channel is pretty much clear. 2.4 GHz is congested a lot, but it happens on mostly any network.

You seem to have a good rooter. With all my >snapdragon 800 phones and tablets wifi works perfect .
Connection between phone and router is 433mbps. Before you hard reset your phone try to change channel . And try to keep your connected devices at minimum 2 or 3. You can also try pseudo static ip instead of dhcp

All my other devices, be it computers, tablets, older phones, do not have this problem. The problem I face is really similar to this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/wifi-woes-t3197144
I suspect it is due to a setting that is found in KitKat to "Avoid poor connections" but that is not found here. When doing a speedtest.net I can get 200+ mbps, so speed is not a problem. My phone just doesn't like to stay connected... Probably will try a hard reset, just need to backup my data.
Is anyone here also experiencing the same problem with me?
I found that from time to time, my XZ Premium losses WiFi connection and can't find any hotspot until I turn on then turn off airplane mode, or just restart.
Here are the screenshots form my S7 edge (SM-G935F) and XZ Premium, they were next to each other and very close to the router.
Please help me, thank you.

are you using 5G? if you are, you need to update the wifi channel and band through your router settings. that's what i did with mine and now i don't have that intermittent wifi connection anymore.

Sure, thanks, I will give a try, and can you please tell me which channel and band should I use?
Anyone found a solution for this?
Wifi was spotty before the Android 8 update but now it's almost unusable. Every now and again it will just stop showing wifi connections, toggling wifi on and off might show a connection or 2 but it will either disappear or just say "Disabled" when trying to connect to it. Reboot solves it for a little while.
Usually use 2.4Ghz wifi with a variety of router brands.

Happens here on Android 8 as well, quite annoying to be honest. Sometimes drops the connection for no reason, and then when I click on WiFi settings, it doesn't show any connections till I turn WiFi on and off and even then it'll only show 1 SSID, turning it off for a while longer and then turning it back on brings back the rest of them and then it'll connect, but it's stupid how I have to keep doing this every few hours.
I set my 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to different names and join only the 5 GHz, and I don't get drops. On Oreo rooted.
i have xperia xz premium with Oreo 8.0 I encounter the same problems when I'm connected to my wifi, suddenly the data connection is blocked, and when this happens I have to turn off and on the wifi symbol to restore the connection. I do not understand why this happens. My phone is updated to the 47.1.A.5.51 system with November google patches. My modem is Billion Bipac 7800N
So it seems to be a common issue, anyone know if Sony is aware of it?
Where can we complain? It's their damn top of the range phone and it's most basic function isn't working right.

Knock yourself out. I've had more than one device with the Snapdragon 835 behave in this way, so I think it's a chipset issue.

Do a Google search for WiFi and Oreo and you will see that this is affecting multiple cell phones.
Do they all have the 835 chip in them???
I think it is an Oreo issue.
I have no such problems and I have Oreo and the 835.
Try disabling IPv6 on your router.
This is still OS/firmware issue but this temporally fix the issue

I found the solution:
My network works with two devices:
1 ZTE Router (2.4GHz)
1 D-LINK Repeater (2.4GHz)
In the router my XZ Premium works nicely, in the repeater happen exactly what you said, Connect apperars "no internet" after 1 second and wifi on Smartphone is automatically disabled or wifi stay enabled, but says "disabled" on network.
So.. I checked the wlan settings of the two devices in my network exhaustively item by item and I changed the devices settings about 20 times, I and I found that none of the settings matters (wpa or wep, 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz, Bandwidth 20Mhz or 40Mhz, type of network b / g / n, nor channel 1 to 13) just ignore this.
What REALLY MATTERS is a option in the advanced wlan settings, called "Fragment Threshold" this value was at 500, I changed it to the maximum (2346) and my XZ Premium started the connection instantly. Explaining: increasing this value defined that the packet can be up to 2346 bytes before being fragmented, so we deactivate packet fragmentation, reducing overhead and ensuring the best transmission rate possible, so this option determines the size of the frame.
Put simply: Go to advanced Wlan settings, locate "Fragment Threshold" and change to the highest possible value. That worked for me =)
worked for me
1- turn off wifi in being wifi settings ie where you view your wifi networks
2- select "scanning settings". it will show once you have turned your wifi off
3- turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
4- go back turn wifi back on and enjoy
