Running a new Xtrons branded px5 (android 8, octacore, 4/32Gb unit). It seems to have an isue reconnecting to the hidden wifi network unless I make the wifi network publically viewable. This si just because this is the default way that iOS runs the hotspot software on their phones.
Is there a better way to get a px5 to reconnect to the wifi without me haivng to make the SSID viewable by going in to my phone setting seach time?
tbh, even my iPad cant reconnect to the iPhone hotspot w/o BT Tethering.. always have to unlock -> settings -> re-enable hotspot...
Yeah, it's a pain! oh well.
Sorry this is an iOS limitation.

Hi,
I have multiple devices at home using the WiFi fine (iPad, Laptops...)
But with two android devices (Nexus 5 and Galaxy S 4, both on unmodified) I have the same problem.
It connects to the network, and works just fine, but after some time, there isn't any internet connection, although it shows as if it's still connected.
By disabling and enabling Wifi I get internet connection again, but it's really annoying.
Here's my setup:
Edimax router as AP
2.4 GHz (B+G+N)
Visible ESSID
Channel number 6
Encryption: WPA 2 (AES) pre-shared key (passphrase)
No MAC Filtering
EDIT: This router is a switch with wireless, it is connected to a diffrent router that is connected to the internet.
What can I do? Should I modify any of my WiFi settings?
Thanks!
did you try to disable energy saver?

If asking you're whether I had disabled the WiFi optimization in the WiFi settings, yes I have...
I have just only remembered that this router is actually a switch with wireless. The internet is connected to the other router, which is connected to the router i'm asking about (EDIMAX) which acts as a switch.
I have two wifi APs with the same SSID and it will stick to one of them with next-to-useless connection while standing near the other one. which would have much better connection.
This works fine on my Nexus 9 tablet and even better on my iPad and my wifes iPhone..
I tried some possible workarounds like Always allow wi-fi roam scans but I didn't see any effect.
This fix for SG3 might work but i havn't rooted.
Even more solution suggestions
Doesn't this bother anyone else ?
wifi has a bug in 6.X and its been talked about before.
my problem some times when i want to connect to another wifi it connects for a 1 sec and then drops it
i turn off wifi and back on and it will connect
i'm trying the app "Wifi roaming fix" but i think it causes the wifi to disconnect for a couple of seconds when it switches.
Strange that this seems to be of no interest to anyone. Is there indeed nobody who is using one or more WLAN APs in addition to his/her WLAN router? I can't believe that.
I have two APs (Main router and 2nd router as AP) but not for more coverage, my main router pushes 5GHz wifi, the second AP pushes 2.4GHz for older clients that can't connect to 5GHz
The 5GHz router is placed on a wall in the middle of the house and the entire house has great coverage so no need for more APs
I have more APs in my house with OpenWRT and 802.11r aka Fast Roaming configured and roaming between all my APs is working perfectly with all my devices.
Note 10.1 2014 Wifi, S7 Exynos and all other also.
With APs configured as "normal" ap with the same SSID and key i had the same issue as you mentioned.
I think your phone dont know that it could roam between your two APs.
If you could not run OpenWRT on your APs for 802.11r, you could try to enable WDS on both APs even if your APs connected by wire.
Hi!
When I enable the hotsot on my Android 7 device and later connect to my other android 7 or iphone the internet works flawlessly, when I connect with my head unit android 8 it connects and doesn't have a x in the wifi icon but it doesn't make a connection to the internet? I dont know what is wrong or what is causing this problem.. the head unit does connect to the hoptspot of iphone and other android 7 device and wifi networks. the only thing not working is the connection between my phone and the head unit? and since bluetooth tethering isnt a thing on these devices, there isnt really a way to connect to the internet on the road..
Hi experts. I have an Android 6.0 phone with Mediatek processor (MT6580).
Because I don't have money to hire an internet service, I am forced to use my neighbor's WI-FI.
But there is a problem, and that is that WI-FI is used by an average of 8 devices during the day.
And sometimes, some of those devices make intensive use of the internet connection. causing the WI-FI router to saturate.
When this happens, it seems that the WI-FI router starts transmitting the WI-FI signal intermittently.
Then my phone starts to connect and disconnect from the Wi-Fi network automatically (approximately every 3 seconds).
Because of this, the apps that make use of the internet connection, immediately detect the change in the connection, and this represents a big problem for me.
My neighbor's WI-FI router: "TP-LINK WR720N". with security WPA PSK / CCMP / WPS disabled.
I do not have access to the settings of said router, so I cannot change its settings.
My phone is not rooted, but nevertheless I can access the EngineerMode, in which there are options that allow changing parameters related to the WI-FI connection, but I don't understand anything.
My thought is that through the EngineerMode, I can do something to solve the problem mentioned above.
What is your opinion?
Greetings from Venezuela.
We have set up a WiFi router at our summer house and all devices bar my OnePlus 8 connects without problem to the WiFi. My phone connects to the WiFi but not the internet. Have restarted the phone and removed and added the WiFi connection but no luck. Any idea what's going on?
I had this problem with my oneplus 8, European version, where at times internet connection would drop, but wifi was still connected so the phone was in effect blocked since I use VoWiFi both voice calls and data was blocked.
The problem turned out to be between my router and the oneplus 8. I had to go into the settings of the router and disable a feature called "band steering". This setting will make the two different wifi gateways inside the router, the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz appear as one and the same with the same SSID name. This is supposed to simplify setting up devices with wifi but is known to cause problems sometimes.
As soon as I had separated the two and given them different names, I no longer have a problem with internet access dropping from the wifi.
I have no idea where the fault happens, I only know that I have had to disable band steering with another router I had before. I think this feature might be a bit unstable.
No idea what's happened but this morning it just worked.
