Tab 2 rooted w/cwm CM11 since forever see IMG.
Wifi goes out, have to toggle off/on then it stays on for a while again. Sometimes its on for 30 to 45 mins and sometimes it cuts out after 10 mins.
Could wifi doohicky be worn out?
No battery saver app running, just greenify. Tab has minimal apps running and 2 games, have not added apps for over a year.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thinking about reflashing rom, maybe it got stale, it's been about 2yrs since last flash.

Solved/ :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
My issue was not the tablet or OS/firmware, the problem was my WiFi router.
Running a netgear N600 DB WiFi router with multiple devices connected via Ethernet cable and WiFi signal throughout the house, all other devices worked properly with no issues whatsoever when it came to internet access.
Yet tablet kept disconnecting or loosing signal and would have to toggle WiFi off/on to get it started again. Never suspected router because all other devices worked properly with no signal strength loss or degradation.
After monkeying around with tab with no solution I decided to restart router, had nothing to lose, whatever, and as soon as I restarted router issue was gone, turn on WiFi and it stays on until I turn it off, even if tablet is idle for days, I wake it and WiFi connects immediately.
Now the router was having some signal issue with just the tab and nothing else,I also have two other devices connected that are similar in age and technology to this tab and these showed no signal issues whatsoever.
So the moral of the story is, don't discount your router just because everything else is working properly with the router and network.
Now my tab has to see a therapist because I called it "a piece of $#it" and it wasn't even the tabs fault.

Hi,
I have a laptop, TV and iPod touch connected to my router via Wi-Fi, and a desktop via LAN. It's always been completely stable, rock solid. 2 weeks ago I bought a Sony Xperia T to replace the iPod, and since then the router has been freezing up every 15-30 mins, cutting off every device connected to it and not responding to any attempts to log in to it. The lights on the router don't indicate any problem and if I leave it alone it will unfreeze itself within a couple of minutes.
If I turn off the Xperia's Wi-Fi, the network goes back to being completely stable again all day. Turn the Xperia's Wi-Fi on and the router will freeze within 5 minutes and then again every 15-30 mins.
Google search tells me this is actually a fairly common problem with android devices but nobody seems to have any solution. I've upgraded my router's firmware, tried assigning my phone a static IP address, told the router to use g mode only, tried a range of different Wi-Fi channels, none of this had helped.
The problem happened on ICS as well as the recent Jelly Bean update.
Does anyone have any idea what my phone might be doing to screw up my router so much?
Thanks.
Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel, no joy. Anyone else experience this?Anyone got a fix?
Tried deactivating stamina?
Yep, it's deactivated. Still doesn't fix it. It's very annoying. Only noticed it since Lollipop update. Anything else I can try?
EDIT-Just been reading online that baby monitors may interfere with wifi.......I've 2 baby monitors for my toddler and newborn......would this be causing my wifi to drop in and out???I've tried all 13 channels on my Sky broadband router but no luck....
My wifi drops in/out when the signal is poor so it may be related to the babyphones?
I've turned the 2 baby monitors off and wifi on z3 still dropping in and out. What next?? Is my phone damaged?

Try safe mode (Long press the power button, then long press the power off button onscreen, click ok) and see if the problem persists.
Have you tried different routers? Have you tried turning laptop/wife's phone into a hotspot and connecting to that? Get an app like wifi analyser and see it looks like your wifi is acting normal there. Is wifi turning off or is it just disconnecting from the router (the icon might be misleading).
It's staying on now in safe mode, thanks! But why is that happening? I did a factory reset as I thought phone was broken! Pity, I should have waited for your advice!
Edit, unstable again. Coming in and out.
Tried again this morning in safe mode. Problem still there. Wifi turns on then icon goes off and it searches and connects again. Then goes off etc. I downloaded wifi analyser but don't know what to do now?? I'm not very tech minded.
I'll look up how to turn laptop into hotspot. Thanks for your help so far.
PS -I just remembered that the Bluetooth on the phone kept connecting and disconnecting in my car this week.... Would that have anything to do with the wifi issue?
EDIT- downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?
Hi!
I have some problems with WIFI on my tablet, it disconnects randomly from my WIFI network quite often, at home this isn't too much of a problem as the device reconnects itself in a few, but then I traveling with trains, the device disconnects as soon as I stop browsing the web for a few minutes, and then fails to reconnect itself, turning WIFI on and off makes the device able to connect again but only for a few minutes, then the problem reappear.
I have already tried to disable powersaving mode, set WIFI to never sleep in WIFI options and turning off WIFI optimization too. Neither of these fixed my problems., factory reset didn't help me either, as this happens on trains too, I can't change the router settings either, is there anything else I can try???
I also send my device into Asus repair serviceservice 2 times, first time they did troubleshoot my battery charging (which was working flawless and I asked them to troubleshoot my WIFI not battery), second time they was troubleshooting my WIFI error, but screwed up the battery.
Third time they replaced the motherboard and after all this I'm still stuck with my broken WIFI.
Please help me
Hi all, I'm on unrooted stock and have so far only disabled bloatware and system apps via the stock app manager. I've got a solid wireless network throughout my house with one Linksys WRT54G2 running as a wired gateway (with wireless connections) to my main router, a Linksys/Cisco E3200 (only wireless connections except the gateway). I don't have issues with any other wi-fi enabled hardware, including two tablets running Lollipop and my Note 2 which was running CM 12.1, but with this phone the connection seems to drop after a couple hours of non-use (i.e. - while sleeping overnight or while running around making dinner and taking care of our baby at night). When this happens the phone tells me that I'm still connected to my wireless network but there is no throughput until I cycle the wi-fi on/off in the phone settings and it reconnects.
This happens with wi-fi calling enabled. I have yet to make a successful call with wi-fi calling so I will leave it disabled today but doubtful that will cure my issue. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Other than that I'm loving this phone and was so ready for an upgrade, will probably root before long but will try to keep the stock rom for a bit. TouchWiz still has its quirks but has come a long way over the last few years. Additionally, has anyone been following this thread? I will probably look at something like this in the coming days to increase battery life but for the most part I think all of my needs will be met with the wireless tether APN settings change and software. Thanks
This has been driving me crazy for a while now. I have a SM-T580 and it worked fine when it was on 6.0. When the update happened, whenever I did "something" (such as install an app or cast to a CCA), it would turn the WiFi off after several seconds. The wifi indicator would actually go grey and it wouldn't be able to turn back on for several more seconds. After turning it back on and having it connect, it worked fine, for several hours or a day. Very random.
No other android device on the network does this, using a AC68U router (also tried a N66U with no difference), and signal is excellent. It seems to be only this device and after the 7.0 update. Any ideas? Thanks.
