[Q] Major WiFi issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have problems with WiFi on the Nexus 5 running 5.1 (updated build)?
Depending on the network, it just won't connect, while other people around me can connect just fine to the same hotspot.

[Q] Wifi Tether/Hotspot Problem

Good day,
I'm having problems with my Nexus S i9020T wifi tether feature. I can enable it but connected device doesn't have internet connection. I've tried using wifi tether apps from the market but the issue with them is that the hotspot they produce cannot be detected by other devices
I'm using another carrier and not T-mobile. It isn't my carrier since I've tried my sim on a desire hd and it was able to tether fine.
I'm currently on SuperAosp ROM and trinity kernel. I've also tried it on stock 2.3.4 but problem persisted.
My nexus s is currently rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Is it a hardware or software problem? Any idea on how to fix this?
Thank you.

wifi connection issues

After the last tmobile software update I am noticing that I am having quite a lot of problems maintaining a wifi connection. I am primarily on my home network which none of my other devices are having a problem. Has anyone had this problem since the update? Any one have any ideas?

[Q] Nokia N8 wifi hotspot not found by transformertf101. eos4 B168

Hi
I live in the UK. I have an Asus Transformer TF101 B70
I have a curious issue. I have recently upgraded from Revolver 4.2.2 to eos JDQ39 Nightly B168.
I did this because I could not get the KAT Audio app to work reliably on revolver and it is necessary for the mic.
It works perfectly on the home wifi network. For mobile internet I have been using a Nokia N8 using the Joikuspot app to create a wifi hotspot for the Transformer, Ipad and laptop with no issues.
With the revolver rom the transformer has no problem seeing and connecting to the Nokia N8 hotspot. However with the eos it does not see it at all although I checked it with a Nokia Lumia windows phone hotspot and it works fine.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm curious as to what may be the cause although I'm sure it can't be fixed in settings.
I've tried different channels on the phone. It allows 1, 6 and 11 and I've set the wifi regulatory domain on the TF to worldwide. I've also tried to manually set up a connection with static and dhcp but no luck yet my Ipad sitting right next to it gets the signal straight away.
It'll be a shame if I can't use the N8 anymore.

TF300T Stock 4.2.1 wifi issues

I just bought a ASUS TF300T (refurbished). Everything seemed to work fine. I updated it a couple time via OTA updates. It is now running stock 4.2.1 JB. I have only had this tablet for a week. The last couple of days it seems to constantly drop the WiFi connection to both my router and my Nexus 4 when wifi tethering is enabled. Often time this will even result in the router disappearing from the available wifi network list. I have tried switch my router to different channels and it doesn't seem to help at all. I have also tried wireless N on my router so that is only running 802.11 B and G, but that didn't help either. Also both my laptop an my phone do not experience any wifi issues with my router.
So after changing settings on my router and also seeing the same issue when connecting it to my phone it seems to be an issue with the tablet. My questions is should I try running a system restore? I think I've read somewhere that this tablet has experience some issue after do OTA updates and do a system restore fixed some issues (can't remember what the issues where). Or do you think it is just faulty hardware, and should I exchange it for another one as I'm still well within the 90-day warranty?

[Q] Slow when connected to wifi - Nexus 5 only

No matter how much I mess with the settings, or what Lollipop ROM I use, the wifi on my Nexus 5 is unbearably slow. I think it is from the Lollipop upgrade.
My Chromebook, Macbook, PC, wife's iPhone all have fast internet on Wifi.
This is not just my home wifi, it is any wifi network I connect to. So it is my phone.
I have read of others having wifi issues. Is there any fix to this?
I figured it out finally, after a week of searching. Of course right after I finally make a post lol.
I disabled wifi ipv6 on my Nexus 5 and now wifi works blazing fast.
Hopefully Google fixes this issue soon as all my other devices work with ipv6 just fine.
