need help with wifi

hello guys,
I got a lg optimus 3d for a week now and i love it ! i only have 1 problem... and thats wifi. my mobile will not connect to my wireless connection at home.
Before this phone i had a nokia n900 and i never had any problems with connecting to wifi. i searched on the internet for possible answers but i havent found any.
This is what i do :
step 1 : i turn wifi on
step 2 : i'll search for my internet connection and enter the WEP code
step 3 : this is where the problems start, my mobile keeps saying :
connecting.... disconnected.... scanning.... connecting.... disconnected... scanning and this goes on and on and on till i turn off wifi
Last friday i turned off my router and modem and after i turned it on again my wifi worked but not for long because since this morning its doing the same thing connecting.... disconnected.... scanning etc.
What am i doing wrong ? i even tried my new sim card in my old nokia n900 and no problems at all....
I really dont know what to do and i hope you guys can help me.
mobile internet is working fine btw but i really want wifi at home because its faster

You can try 2 things to see whats the problem:
Find another router and try with that one.
Try to connect to another network and see if it works.
If none of the above works, then we are talking of a defective phone most probably.
EDIT: Something that you can try right away is to switch the authentication on the router to something else for example WPA2 and see if that helps.
EDIT2: Also be sure that the DHCP on the router is active. Kinda lame I know but it can cause such problems.

Try to switch the authentication first if you havent done it already. Just to try to do something while waiting 2 days

Go to your neighbour and try to connect on his wifi ,if it works then you have to reconfigure your network,if not then it's probably phone defect ..

[Q] Wifi Issues

After installing any rom, my wifi is transferring data very slowly. I check the region code for the wifi and it says europe. So i try to change it to United States and i shows my router but doesn't allow me to connect to it. Also usually under my router name is says (wep, or wpa) what kind of security it is and it doesn't show anything underneath of it. When it randomly connects it goes at 2kb per second. i have 30mbs internet. it has been happening on every rom i install, can some please help me. Thank you.

Happened to me a few times with my old Nook Color. What I did back on ICS to fix the problem was remove the network from my remembered networks on the tablet and remove it from the router as well. When I reconnected, it was as good as new. Hope this helps.

I have forgotten my router name numerous times. It has connected now but is extremely slow. I have a fast internet provider there is no reason my tablet should be this slow. When i got to disconnect and reconnect it doesn't want to connect to my router.

Does anyone else's WiFi randomly turn on/off?!

If I'm home, chillan out, connected to my home WiFi, sometimes my wifi will just randomly turn itself off.. And then when I'm out (let's say I'm driving around) my WiFi will just randomly turn itself on. I don't get why the hell it does bc it never used to! I have a Sprint S6 and I have connections optimizer deleted (using Titanium Backup) and I have "always allow scanning" OFF and "keep WiFi on during sleep" ON. What gives....?!

Same issue here. It seems to happen only with 5 ghz, not with 2.5.

How can you tell if the WiFi you're on is 2.5/5 ghz??

Router configuration. I use to enable only 5 ghz (faster), but had issues so changed to only 2.5 and seems to work fine now (but it is much slower coping files to pc)

I think the issues you two are describing are different. I think the OP is saying his wifi is being activated (turning on) rather than disconnecting and reconnecting to the network (which is an issue I also have). My wifi will never turn ON or OFF (as if the quick setting has been touched) unless I turn it on or off.
If I'm wrong, then please disregard.

My wifi setting does not turn off/on randomly, however, I have noticed my S6 (920i) seems to randomly forget networks I have logged in to...home/work mostly. There's no option to forget the network, if I touch the network name again I'm immediately prompted for the password.

You are EXACTLY CORRECT... And it is very annoying lol.

Yes, I get the same thing. I try to use Trigger scripts to set my phone the way I like it at work, home, night, etc. Sometimes, I'll turn wifi off, then next thing I know, it's back on. Or vice-versa. There's no setting for it anywhere that I can find.

WiFi issues after Marshmallow update

Hey guys,
Having an issue with WiFi since the Marshmallow update. We have an open WiFi network at work that you need to sign in to the firewall to access internet. Previously it worked fine, but after the Marshmallow update, my phone constantly drops the WiFi network. It always happens when I lock the phone or otherwise let the screen turn off for more than about a minute, but it also happens even when I'm using my phone, if I'm on for more than about 5 minutes on average it drops the network. When I go to reconnect, it lists under the SSID "Internet not available" but I just tap the network and tap connect and it connects anyway, doesn't even make me sign into the firewall again. I'd really appreciate some help with this, if I can't get this fixed I'll be doing away with Android for good. I don't use my phone for much other than Facebook and games, so I'm not at all opposed to using a custom ROM if that would help. Just haven't installed one since CM7 on my HTC Evo Shift, so I duno which would be best for my situation. Thanks in advance for any input!

Bump. Hopefully someone has a solution...

One more bump before I give up...

Hi, I'm on stock firm, and after the last upgrade, I cannot connect to my work's wifi network. It's a EAP-MSCHAP2 connection. At home, wifi works flawlessly....

try talking to your system administrator at work. The upgrade may cause a comparability issue that maybe fixed by a simple tweak at work.

Wifi keeps disconnecting?

Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:

I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!

Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.

still no fix

Is Bluetooth on? This is what is causing my WiFi to be very unstable......
