WIFI connection causing router to lock up? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I have an ASUS router and this past week I have noticed when I come home from work or my phone wakes up in the morning for my alarm and connects to my WIFI I have to hard reboot my router due to the router getting locked up and WIFI as well as ethernet drop connection.
To test out if the cause is most likely my phone, I disconnected from WIFI and this morning my WIFI for the first time in a week was still active and didn't have to reboot the router when the alarm went off.
I highly suspect now that the cause is my pixel 2 which I have had for over a month. Has anyone else had this issue recently of your phone connecting to your wifi and causing the router to lock up?

Ok cause I found another person with same problem and ASUS router as well. But I wonder what could have caused this problem to pop up

I have tried to change several settings on the router, change the channel, with or without protection on the wifi etc and the same problem.

Just bought a Pixel 2 XL and having the exact same problem with my router (Asus AC66U). Whenever phone connects to home wifi every other wifi device and even ethernet is losing connection.
Any update regarding this problem since this thread is 4 months old?

I have this EXACT same problem with the exact same problem. Huge PITA. I walk in my house and everything goes out. I can confirm that it is the phone (Pixel 2) and I can confirm that the router does actually reboot. I sat watching my wifi, rebooted my phone and watched as the router reboots. I also watch the wifi on the phone struggling to connect even when the router is fully back up.
I bought a new router that I haven't hooked up yet because at first I thought it was the router. I will be trying the new router in a couple days just to see if there is any change.

This happened to me with an asus rt ac66u, but not with my pixel2. I got rid of the router before i had this phone. It would happen constantly with both my wifes htc 10 and my htc m9. It took me forever to figure out the phones and router werent playing well. If the phones stayed unconnected, it worked fine for days. If they were connected it would happen every morning, and sometimes just randomly thru out the day. Its obviously not the phones fault, but some firmware or hardware issue with asus. The phones could connect to any other wifi just fine without crashing it. I bought a tp-link and the problem was solved. Works fine with htc m9 and 10 and now my pixel 2.

Update: I swapped out my router to a Tenda, rebooted my phone and everything held.

For now I've connected Pixel2XL to 2,4Ghz of my AC66U wifi network and it seems that router doesn't crash this way. Just a temporary solution, ordered AC68U.

I have same problem. when i comeback after work wifi disconecting.... i have to reconnect manualy wifi and then it working ok.... This problem I see when tablet is in sleep mode during a few hours....
It could be a DHCP issue. If possible try to assign the Note a static IP address on the router. Not all Wi-Fi radios work equally well with all Wi-Fi routers. For example, the i9100 had a particular dislike for D-Link routers. I travel a lot and haven't had any issues with the Note connecting, staying connected, and re-connecting in any of the hotels or airports I've used it in.

When I first received my 10.1 Note, my wifi didn;t work and I almost returned it as a result. I reset it to factory and magically it started to work. I suggest you do this also.
Ever since then it has been flawless.
I also had this problem out the box on day one with my wifi connection at home. All I did was turn off with the toggle, unplugged my router from the power source, waited one minute, flipped toggle to "On" again and boom - problem solved, has dropped a connection since.
Hope this helps.
Try disable wmm in your router. it fixed mine.

WiFi problem DIR855
I have the same problem that the Note 10.1 connects to my WiFi network but no data is passed through.
I did a factory reset and then it started to work as it should but after a couple of hours it stopped again.
The D-link DIR-855 has both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wifi band so I enabled the 5GHz band and I was able to connect to the SSID and access internet, nut only for a few hours.
Now it connects to the netwok but I can´t access internet nor my LAN.
At home I have Huwei router and there it works without problems.
I wonder who to blame if it´s Dlink or Samsung.
Anyone have a solution to this?

Flaky wifi - frequently needs disconnecting and reconnecting when using 5GHz wifi

Anyone else having issues with 5GHz wifi becoming unresponsive and needing to be turned off and immediately back on to kick it into working?
I've got Smart Network Switch and Download Booster (switch to mobile data if wifi is no good; use wifi + LTE) both switched off, so they shouldn't be a factor.. I even switched them back on and then off just to be sure that they were in fact off.
After a painful day spent trying to transfer data to the new phone, and installing all of my usual apps - having to disable and renable wifi at least 50 times throughout the day - I decided to switch from using my 5GHz wifi to 2.4GHz (same router), and it now seems fine. Switching back to 5, and I end up back with the same result - wifi will work fine for a while before stopping.
My Galaxy S5 has no issue using the 5GHz (and neither do any other devices I have), so it doesn't appear to be the router (Asus RT-AC87U) at fault unless there's just some compatibility issue with the S6.
Phone is G920I (Australian version, 64GB)

Pretty sure this is a Android 5.0 problem. My nexus 6 has this problem as well. I have the AC68U. I am getting my GS6 tomorrow so I will see if it has the problem then. No problems on 2.4 like you.
Turn off the stupid Smart Network Switching.
noticed exactly the same thing, all other devices in the house are perfect, but the S6 loses connection now and then even when next to the router.
No issues using my 5ghz wifi network and the S6, have not had to disable/enable it once for any reason. Tmobile version.
You might try getting yours replaced, 50 times in a day is insane.
Thanks for the replies guys - oddly comforting to see that some others are having the same issue..
@byronhinson - Can I ask what brand of router you have (since both Prod1702 and I are having the issue with Asus routers + Lollipop)
I have exactly the same issue and on top of that the phone gets laggy when it losts the wifi!
However with classic wifi (not 5Ghz), it works fine all the time!
GS6 32Gb - Australian version as well
Same issue here. I hope they will fix it.
No issues here, 5ghz all day long well when I'm home

I have a AC68U as well (or the T-Mobile 'Cellspot' version of the same), and my Galaxy S6 stays solidly connected to my 5ghz network all day.

Look at the silver lining - at least you didn't spend an entire day unawares and having to constantly switch wifi off and on to kick it back into gear, before *eventually* (after all of your transferring of data and installation of apps was done) thinking to switch to 2.4 and having it work as I did

I had the same problem and my router also is ASUS AC87U , wifi disconnected problem can solved after upgrade your router's firmware.
but there is a very serious problem I found.
on ASUS AC87U 5G wifi + Galaxy S6 , it drain battery very fast and get very high cpu usage at screen off.
it means the phone always keep running and can't get in sleep mode.
connected to another brand router it just be fine, very stable and no battery drain, So, I don't know this is ASUS's problem or Samsung's, that makes me very annoyed :crying:
hope someone can told me how to solve, thanks!

Argh - trying to update the router firmware was the first thing that I tried when I found the issue.. Stupid bloody router kept on saying that I had the latest version, but checking the Asus website shows that there's a later version from 2nd April that requires a factory reset after installing - 2 of the things fixed are around wifi issues..
Updated and so far so good, but I guess a couple of time will tell. I'll keep an eye on battery/cpu usage and see how it goes..
Hopefully a router firmware update will fix the 5GHz issue for others that are having the issue too, at least for those with Asus routers.
For all of you who are having this issue, how is your battery life?
Just got my S6 today, same router as the OP (Asus RT-AC87U) and same problem on 5Ghz. Constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to Wifi.
2.4Ghz works fine
5Ghz work very solid on other devices so i'm not really sure what is the problem.
Galaxy tab S 105 and 8.4 works fine on the same router's 5Ghz network.
5GHz for dummies
I was having similar problems, where two Samsung devices in the house were both having difficulty remaining connected to the AC87U router for any length of time. Sometimes they would continually report Authentication Error but then connect happily after a reboot. Other times, they just would not connect.
In my case, it boiled down to dumb user error. I was using the same SSID for both bands, but had mistyped a character in the password for the 5GHz band and so was only able to connect to 2.4GHz band.
Perhaps this will save somebody else some trouble!

Samsung S6 - WEAK WIFI SIGNAL - NO WIFI FOUND

The WIFI on my Samsung S6 is searching for wifi, but nothing shows up. The SIGNAL is extremely WEAK! When I set my phone on the router, it suddenly comes up my wifi. It means that the signal is very weak. I can connect it, but when I am 2m away it connects off. WHAT IS THIS? HELP ASAP

You didn't write anything about tests and results (same issue or not) using a different wifi router/AP, so I assume you didn't try that. You should try a different wifi to be sure the problem is on your S6 and not on your router before post here your problem.

4G / LTE Full bars and drops connection

I have strange problem. When i use LTE I get full bars and everything works fine for a couple of minutes. Then I lose connection. I can not open any webpages, update Twitter or anything else. The bars are full and the 4G icon is there. If I run a couple of apps like LTE Discovery or Network Signal Strength, they both show that I am connected with good quality. But nothing on the internet works. I have checked the APN. It is correct.
If I deactivate cellular data and switch it on again, I have connection for a few minutes again.
If I set it to 3G only, everything is working fine.
I have tested my sim in my wife's iPhone and it works fine, no connection drops.
The phone has been laying around for a while. I just started using it again, but I can not get what could cause this behavior.
I am on Android 6.0.1.
Any ideas on what to try?
Possible loose connection inside the phone? Maybe a factory reset is needed? Is the phone being used with a case that could be interfering with the signal?

I flipped the back cover off and inspected the connectors. They are both seated. I am not using a case. Going to try a factory reset next.
But I don't see how a loose connector would behave like this, keep the connection for a few minutes and then drop? As I wrote I have full bars and both the apps I have tried show very good connection to LTE. Shouldn't a loose connector then show zero?
I believe those are wifi wires.
Is the imei properly displayed in the dialler?
Maybe re-flash the latest stock ROM in fastboot?

Yes, correct IMEI.
Did a full factory reset, but seeing the same. I have got full bars and a 4G symbol with no exclamation mark. I have connection for a couple of minutes and then it drops. Switching to 3G only makes the problem go away.
Going to try a re-flash, but I have never rooted this phone, and I am on original rom.
I see that there are two antenna cables, one white and one black on each side of the battery. Does anyone know which is which? Does 3G and 4G share the same cable?

I am at a completely loss with this. I have searched and I have found a lot of threads on several forums with a similar problem. In fact the problem with intermittent loss of connection seem to go back to the 5.0.1 days.
I have tried everything I can think of, but still I have 4G for just some minutes, then it drops. If I wait another few minutes the exclamation mark shows up next to the 4G symbol. Every "network checking" app I have tried shows I am connected to LTE. In the phones "about"-menu and sim information, it also shows connected. But it's not.
Toggle Airplane mode on/off solves the problem, until it drops again after a few minutes. If I try speedtest I get full LTE-speed before the connection drops. I haven't timed it, but it almost seem to keep the connection for exactly the same time everytime.
This has to be a software bug of some kind, but what can it be??

No, I have not. I will try that as well. Have to look around a bit to find out how.
Yesterday I rooted the phone and installed the latest Ressurection rom. I suppose that came with a new radio module? But the problem remains even there. I am starting to believe that this could be a hardware issue after all. I have ordered two new antenna cables and will replace them. But I don't understand how a faulty antenna wire could cause such an error. As said, it keeps the connection on LTE for a couple of minutes. Switching Airplane mode on/off fixes it for another couple of minutes. If I switch to another apn and back again the LTE also wakes up again for a brief time.
Switching to 3G only works fine all the time. 2G and Wi-Fi also.
And just to know when it says that is connected to 4g is it really connected? Have u tested the speed?

Indeed!
It looks a lot like this:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/o-UyGECxh2k
But having read the thread through, there doesn't seem to be an absolute answer to what is going on.
Tried downgrading the modem to the modem from 5.1.1. No change. Have LTE for 3-4 minutes, then it drops. Shows full bars, but there is no connection. After another couple of minutes the exclamation mark comes next to the 4G symbol. Toggling Airplane Mode on/off gets it going again for another couple of minutes. It drops even if I am using the phone.
Changing to 3G only, works fine.
I have ordered new antenna cables, both the black and the white, and will try to replace those. I don't have much faith in that, due to the nature of this problem. A broken antenna cable should not work for 3 minutes and then stop until reactivated by airplane mode. But, I have run out of things to try.

I am using Telenor in Norway. My wife has an iPhone 6 and I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4. They both work fine on 4G with my simcard.
I had a similar problem in new York. I have metro PCs which is owned by T-Mobile. Every where I checked they said my current APN was correct, but I still had the exclamation point. I ended up fixing it by changing my APN from fast.T-Mobile.com to metroocs. Have you compared the apns from a working phone to the nexus. It sounds more like an authentication problem rather then a signal problem. Or call your carrier.

So... the apn-settings are correct. They are the same as on the S4. I even tried a sim from another carrier now. It behaves exactly the same.
This has to be a hardware issue, even though I can not understand how it keeps the connection for a few minutes and then drops. Doesn't make sense at all.
I had a similar issue with Consumer Cellular (an AT&T MVNO in the US). When preferred network type LTE was selected, the Nexus 5 would go to “No signal” every 12 minutes for 45 seconds. This wasn’t an issue when preferred network type 3G was selected.
I was able to resolve it by modifying the APN slightly, changing the parameter “MVNO Type” to “GID”. I left the MVNO value field to its default value.
This issue started with Android 5.1 and I still need to set that parameter with 6.0.1. Experiment with that setting and see if it helps.

I tried that too today. No change.
But I have discovered something new. If I start streaming a radio station when I still have 4G, it keeps streaming. I left it on for an hour and it kept the connection the whole time. I stopped streaming and started surfing + facebook and it kept the connection.
When I toggle airplane mode off/on or reboot the phone it keeps the connection for a few minutes and then drops. Like before.
Now, this HAS to be a software error of some kind. It almost seems like the 4G radio goes to sleep after a few minutes and then it doesn't wake up again. If I switch to a different apn and back again, it wakes up.
I have made sure that the apn settings are correct. My carrier has confirmed that, and they are exactly the same on my S4, which works fine.
Does this make sense to anyone? What more can I try? Is it possible for the 4G radio to go to sleep and stay off?
Edit: Keep trying new things, and I have discovered that if I connect the charger when the connection is "alive", it keeps the connection. When I disconnect it, the connection drops after some minutes. This strengthens my theory about the 4G radio going to sleep.

Acer Iconia B1-730 wifi connection dropping

My B1-730 tablet keeps dropping its wifi connection, despite being only 12 feet away from the router. Often I need to reboot it to get the connection back (turning wifi off/on and airplane mode on/off doesn't work). This is now happening at least once per day. It's running Android v4.4.2.
Any ideas how this can be fixed?
Just check if you are facing this problem on your other devices if you have on the same wifi connection. I was also facing this problem couple of days ago then i got my broadband line checked and the issue was solved.

Just check if you are facing this problem on your other devices if you have on the same wifi connection. I was also facing this problem couple of days ago then i got my broadband line checked and the issue was solved.
