Hi, I have mi note 10 pro, currently on global 11.1.3.0 (stable, no root) since ota about a week ago. I have started getting an issue where wi-fi randomly stops communicating with my router (5g network) and I have to turn wifi off and on to get it working.
Router is fine as no other devices have this problem, I have rebooted router and assigned static ip, to no avail. I have tried a factory reset on the phone and also tried all settings relating to wi-fi on the phone that I can find including ones in developer options but problem persists.
Was just wondering if anybody else is having this issue or has a fix, thanks in advance.
Hello, you could tell us you router brand, model, channel, etc. I have a Mi Note 10 Pro and I havent observed a problem (apart from the max throughput being slow, sway lower than what I have with a Mi 9T Pro). I sometimes switch from one routeur to another and there are differences in performance but not a lot. I have ASUS RT-AC68U, Mikrotik wAP ac and the frequency spectrum here is almost desert. The Mi Not 10 is running xiaomi.eu 12.1 20.7.9.
Im on 11.1.2.0 and yesterday at night randomly started the same issue like you described.
For two hours had the problem but till now morning didn't appear again..
noticed the same 2-3x times on the LITE.
the wifi icon is still active and it tells me, that iam connected.
but theres no traffic anymore. websites dont open or anthing else is online.
after wifi turn off/on, it works again.
it was on a tp-link router with 5ghz.
Yes that's the same issue I have, after two days messing with my router settings and reflashing it, and testing with no difference, I deleted the network on phone and re added it and it seems to have sorted its self out for now.
No didn't work after all, started doing it again, going to try 2g wi-fi network for awhile and see if it is only 5g related.
Yeah this is definitely an issue with the phone, 2g network works fine. Have also just discovered that when the traffic stops on my 5g network and I go into wi-fi settings, the phone can no longer see any other networks available, including my 2g network and all neighbouring networks, it still shows the 5g network its connected to but not transmitting to. As soon as I turn wi-fi off and on all the available networks appear again, this must be an update issue as was fine before last update.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to send a bug report to developers?
You don't even mention if your phone has a sim card and if mobile data is active.
Have you tried in Airplane mode (with wifi on) ?
What are your settings under WLAN assistant ? (I have both options off).
Running dual sims, same problem with wi-fi 5g, data on or off. WLAN settings are off, have tried with on as well, same problem. Haven't tried in airplane mode as use work sim and need it on for emergency call outs, so turning off not really an option or solution, can I ask why you think sims or data could cause an issue with the wi-fi, thanks.

It would be a way to test wifi only with the least possible other things that could interfere (I was thinking of bluetooth and auto switching from wifi to LTE data). Maybe you could test for just a few hours or put your SIMs in another phone temporarily.
its also happening without bluetooth active and iam using only one sim.
2,4ghz does work 100% without issues.
Ok I see, but not sure that would be the problem, as I always have Bluetooth off and data off and get the problem, will try to test on airplane mode late at night, as no spare phone, just a pain as some times the issues happens within a few minutes of selecting 5g network and some times takes a few hours! So might take a while to test properly, but will give it a go, thanks

Do you have access to your router / access point logs where disconnections may appear ?
I've checked in my router's log and the only references of my phones are daily DHCP renewal.
Here are the 5 GHz parameters of my router that work well for my phones (and everything else). But I am located far from a city and seem to be the only one using this frequencey here. Maybe someone is using the same frequency / channel near you. You may try a change.

That's the problem, the router still shows the phone as connected and the phone also says its connected, its just that the traffic stops, there are at least ten other devices using the same router with no problems on the 5g network and the phone was working great for months before last update. I will try and change channels later tonight when everybody is off the network, thanks
Changing channels did nothing, have submitted a log through the bug report feature you can get to in update settings, guess I'll just have to wait for an update.
Just got the miui 12 update and wi-fi problem still happening, looks like I'll be getting a new phone soon!
I had the same problem with Android 10 on many different phones, and I discovered the following fix which works reliably.
Nearly all routers use a "combined" mode where they use the same Wifi SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and the device can pick which one it connects on. This is usually good on most devices, phones, laptops, Macbooks, smart TVs, etc. But only on Android 10 phones I've found that the device gets confused. It starts in 2.4Ghz mode and midway kind of forgets about it and switches the same WiFi connection to 5Ghz mode (or vice versa). Traffic simply appears to hang up with no packet reply – because the phone is suddenly expecting response in the newly switched band, whereas router is still assuming connection on the other band. I believe it has something to do with the Intelligent Wifi hotspot selection feature in Android 10. Also I've seen that Android 10 in many cases defaults to the lower bandwidth 2.4Ghz band rather than the higher bandwidth 5Ghz connection, which makes bandwidth slower.
The simple fix is to login to your router, and configure a different SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. All routers let you do this. So you'd call 2.4Ghz SSID as, say, "MySSID" and the 5Ghz SSID as "MySSID5G". Connect your device to the 5G band, and everything is reliable and probably faster than before since your phone is no longer connecting to the slower 2.4Ghz band!

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately my router is already configured as you suggest and the problem still happens.
I've also 5ghz only mode enabled.
problem is still there.
Anyone found any fix for this ? Mi note 10 on miui 12, having issues with both 2.4 and 5ghz networks...wifi icon seems to be connected, but apps don't load. Tried everything, combined networks, only 2.4, only 5ghz, different routers, etc. Very frustrating issue.

I've had this amazing tablet for 2 weeks now but sadly I seem to have an infuriating Wi Fi issue.
It connects fine
The reception is excellent
When I download large files (ie the data for a game), the network just drops out and reconnects. When I'm not downloading anything sizeable, it's fine.
Any ideas?
*Shameless bumpski*!
Is "Power Saving" on? If so, turn it off. Other than that, maybe it's your router? I haven't had the same issue with my Note 10.1, either at home or on the road.

Try changing the channel on your router. Usually 1 and 6 are the best.
Thanks for both of your replies.
So - it continues - I've tried all the channels on my router now (BT Home Hub 3) and it still disconnects when downloading large files only. Power saving is off also!
I phoned Samsung - they didn't know and said that it was mostly likely a rare faulty unit. So - I've taken it back to the shop and I've just been given a brand new one.
Guess what. SAME THING! Grrr. So it can't be the device, it must just be a weird incompatibility with my router? Any other ideas or know of any apps that might help me resolve this?
The only other thing is to wait for the JB upgrade and hope that fixes it :/
Right further developments - when I connect to a hotspot like starbucks (where the connection speed is limited), I can download HUGE files and it never disconnects.
So therefore either the Note 10.1 doesn't like an 85mb connection or it's the only device in my house that hates my router....
Annoying though! Still would appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Get a different router...sorry, someone had to say it.

Useful.
I've actually slowed the router down from wifi b/g/n to just b/g and now the tablet works perfectly fine.
So obviously there's an issue with the wireless-n on the note because all my other devices work fine at this rate.
I hope JB will fix that.
I have no issues with the Wi-Fi on this tablet, I'm quite pleased with the dual band.

Since you are the only one to have this problem it's obviously not an issue with the note.

Yeah, sounds like something with the N implementation of your router not getting along with the Note. I have a Netgear N300 router I bought in the spring, and the Note has no problems running on it in N. I get blazing fast speeds, and haven't had problems with file transfers of any size (I've moved a few 1.5GB movies over the network to it).
Is your current router an older model? Many of them were labelled "draft-N", and the implementation may not be totally correct for N devices. Also, try updating your router firmware if possible, and if that doesn't work give one of the alternative router firmwares (Tomato or DD-WRT for example) a try.

Thanks - well this is the funny thing. When N is on, it connects perfectly and until it 'conks out' it downloads at an incredible speed. Then reconnects!
The router is a British Telecom special and sadly I'm kind of locked to it as it's not a standard ADSL model, rather a fibre optic one and they don't come easily in the UK (afaik). It's not draft-N either...it's just a final implementation of N!
The wireless has a 40Mhz option with N but that seemed to do the same. It's only when I knock N out it's alright.
Exact Same Issue
I have the exact same issue. Only drops out at N speeds with large file transfer. Starts off fine, getting great speeds of almost 4 mb / s, but then just stops.
If I switch n file transfer off, it works fine, but at much slower speeds around 1 mb / s
I am using a zoom 5350 cable modem / router - the firmware is updated by the cable supplier which is Comcast.
Anyone have any ideas here? I also returned my first note to as I thought this was a hardware flaw, but new one I got yesterday does the same.
Solved

Update - shockingly, unplugging the cable modem / router and powering it back up now has transfers working at full n speed with no dropouts. Software glitch with the cable companies firmware update perhaps that reset??
Anyway, after having a good 25 attempts drop out before this, every attempt has worked fine since power on/off of modem/router.

Is anyone else having issues with their Nexus 5 not finding their 5ghz Wifi network?
My N7 does have some issues however if I toggle the airplane mode on it, it will find and connect the 5ghz network.
However, on the N5 toggling airplane mode, restarting the phone, nothing seems to find it.
The network is not hidden, though did try just entering the WiFi information to the phone to give it a try and it still didn't find or connect.
I downloaded Wifi analyzer and it won't find the network either.
Not much help this mate other than it's working for me
My N5 wouldn't detect my wifi signal at home. I changed the wifi channel on the router from 13 to 11, then the phone could see it fine.
After doing this, I recall having exactly the same problem last year with the N4 (before I sent it back).
I use channel 13 normally because there's less interference from surrounding wifi routers in my street, but for some reason Nexus phones don't like it :-/

Using channel 13 is a big no, no as it will cause interference in 2,483.5–2,500 MHz which is highly restricted by the FCC.
Also, using channel 13 does not negate co-channel interference from channels 9, 10, 11, 12, either.
The only channels you should ever use for 802.11 2.4GHz band should be 1, 6, 11 - In other markets, channel 14.
I'd recommend the app called wifi analyzer and find the channel that has the highest dBm rating out of 1, 6 and 11 and use it.

I know you said it is not hidden but - sometimes the SOHO devices will seperate the SSID's 802.11N between the 2.4 and 5 band in the settings so I'd say double check them. Also, the wifi analzyer will not pick up a network unless it is sending SSID beacons.

The 20 and 40mhz is the bandwidth you'll use - the 20 will be the slower one as you have less RF to pass data over.
You're not alone. Mine doesn't see my 5GHz network either, just my 2.4GHz. I've restarted router, restarted phone, no avail. I have my channels set to automatic.
Same here. The phone initially saw the 5GHz WiFi upon the first start up, but after the initial update, it cant see it anymore.
EDIT: So I loaded WiFi Analyzer and went into settings. I noticed that the some "available" 5 GHz channels were selected: 36, 40, 44, and 48. I set my router to channel 44 (5220 MHz), lower channel extension, dynamic channel width, N/A mixed and the phone can see it again. However, there is only one bar (it's always low on this router anyway).
I only get 1 or 2 bars on 5ghz vs 4 on 2.4ghz

As of now, it looks like it won't connect to UNII-2 5GHz channels (channels 52-140), which require the use of DFS. Can anyone see if they can use UNII-3 Channels? 149-165?
Is ANYONE having success connecting to any channels 52-165??? I'm curious if this is a SW or HW related issue.

For what it's worth, I set my TPLINK TL-WDR3600 v1 w/ DD-WRT 5GHz radio to Channel 149 (5745 MHz), N/A Mixed, Dynamic width, upper extension channel and I was *successful* seeing and connecting to the AP.

So, my next thing to find out.
Does a client (The broadcom) chip have the ability to see if DFS is used or not used? If so, the device may not allow you to use it since those channels on UNII-2 are supposed to be limited to only using those channels if it is used.
This may be what is to come due to the FCC coming down on 802.11AC and mimo as of late.
I guess the next question is. Does anyone have DFS on their 5Ghz capable home router device? If you turn it on, I believe you may be able to use those channels. (Theory)

Again for what it's worth, I enabled "radar detection" in the advanced settings of the 5GHz radio in dd-wrt for my router and set the frequency to auto. It settled on channel 36 and I did connect.
I don't know if the router is DFS enabled and if dd-wrt properly enabled it. Is there a way of prompting the radar detection to force a channel change?

I read up on the settings - Enable radar and auto channel for DD WRT - Now is there a way to force it to change? If you had another device capable of broadcasting on 5Ghz, I imagine it may be possible.

<grin> I thought of that. I have another 5GHz access point and tried to bump out the DFS(?) router. I set the same frequency on the interfering AP and then re-applied the first radio's settings. The first AP settled on a different frequency. I tried bumping it again, and it *appears* as if it settled back to the original frequency. However, I can reapply the settings without changes and I don't always return to the same frequency. Also, my Nexus 5 can't find it when it's on 36 (where it settled) so I'm back on 149 fixed for now.
Update - Turns out that my second AP auto-selected 36 which explained why it masked the first AP's signal. Now they are both happily separate (36 and 149).
Hope this helps, but it's not terribly scientific.
I decided to keep playing around with the settings and apparently putting the WiFi on channel 161 seems to have done the trick.
Thanks guys!

Hey guys,
by all accounts it appears as a new SW restriction as of Lollipop official release, since my n5 could connect to any channel in 5GHz band (EU regulatory domain, so only channels 36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,100,104,108,112,120,128,132,136,140) on every 4.4.x release and on first 5.0 dev preview (i didn't try installing any other builds). 20mhz/40mhz/80mhz wide, does not matter, all were working just fine (nexus5 is 40mhz capable though). Right after flashing release version of 5.0 posted on google images I am not seeing any DFS channels anymore, so only 36,40,44,48 are there, since I'm in Europe. But that explains why some of you see 149-165 channels in US for example, since they do not require DFS scanning. Enabling DFS scanning for testing purposes on those lower channels (36-48 for ex) makes no sense, since there are no military or weather radars in this space and regulatory bodies do not require it anyway.
This is a pretty bad move from the google side, since while home users don't really care about switching their home routers back to non-DFS channels, in the enterprise world those phones are going to use 2.4Ghz primarily, since nobody is going to adjust the network when someone decides to block a spectrum on some clients. Now considering the fact that 802.11ac is 5GHz only, why would you buy a phone 802.11ac capable that doesn't support most of the 5GHz spectrum?
Hope to see the change in the upcoming update if any.
Cheers,
Slava.
Yup, all the other changes don't mattter...gotta be Ch 161 on 5G. LAME!

It happens on any network. I was on holiday in the US, and it kept dropping the connection. I thought it was just because hotel WiFi are just ****ty in general, but it happened at home and at work too.
The WiFi at home is an ASUS RT-AC68U, and I'm connected to the 5 GHz channel, and channel congestion is not a problem. 2.4 GHz is congested a lot, but the disconnect happens on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Most of the time, I would pick up the phone, and try to access a website and it would take forever. After a while it would say "Internet connection unavailable at *wifi name*". Then after a reconnect it usually works, and loads the page instantly.
At work, I'm wearing an Android Wear watch and installed the network change notifier, so every 10 minutes or so, my watch would tell me that I have disconnected from the WiFi and after 5 minutes it will connect back again... Signal strength is excellent, channel congestion is horrible, but it shouldn't disconnect that many times.

It happens on any network. I was on holiday in the US, and it kept dropping the connection. I thought it was just because hotel WiFi are just ****ty in general, but it happened at home and at work too.
My house WiFi is an ASUS RT-AC68U, and I'm connected to the 5 GHz channel, and the channel is pretty much clear. 2.4 GHz is congested a lot, but it happens on mostly any network.

You seem to have a good rooter. With all my >snapdragon 800 phones and tablets wifi works perfect .
Connection between phone and router is 433mbps. Before you hard reset your phone try to change channel . And try to keep your connected devices at minimum 2 or 3. You can also try pseudo static ip instead of dhcp

All my other devices, be it computers, tablets, older phones, do not have this problem. The problem I face is really similar to this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/wifi-woes-t3197144
I suspect it is due to a setting that is found in KitKat to "Avoid poor connections" but that is not found here. When doing a speedtest.net I can get 200+ mbps, so speed is not a problem. My phone just doesn't like to stay connected... Probably will try a hard reset, just need to backup my data.
Is anyone here also experiencing the same problem with me?
I found that from time to time, my XZ Premium losses WiFi connection and can't find any hotspot until I turn on then turn off airplane mode, or just restart.
Here are the screenshots form my S7 edge (SM-G935F) and XZ Premium, they were next to each other and very close to the router.
Please help me, thank you.

are you using 5G? if you are, you need to update the wifi channel and band through your router settings. that's what i did with mine and now i don't have that intermittent wifi connection anymore.

Sure, thanks, I will give a try, and can you please tell me which channel and band should I use?
Anyone found a solution for this?
Wifi was spotty before the Android 8 update but now it's almost unusable. Every now and again it will just stop showing wifi connections, toggling wifi on and off might show a connection or 2 but it will either disappear or just say "Disabled" when trying to connect to it. Reboot solves it for a little while.
Usually use 2.4Ghz wifi with a variety of router brands.

Happens here on Android 8 as well, quite annoying to be honest. Sometimes drops the connection for no reason, and then when I click on WiFi settings, it doesn't show any connections till I turn WiFi on and off and even then it'll only show 1 SSID, turning it off for a while longer and then turning it back on brings back the rest of them and then it'll connect, but it's stupid how I have to keep doing this every few hours.
I set my 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to different names and join only the 5 GHz, and I don't get drops. On Oreo rooted.
i have xperia xz premium with Oreo 8.0 I encounter the same problems when I'm connected to my wifi, suddenly the data connection is blocked, and when this happens I have to turn off and on the wifi symbol to restore the connection. I do not understand why this happens. My phone is updated to the 47.1.A.5.51 system with November google patches. My modem is Billion Bipac 7800N
So it seems to be a common issue, anyone know if Sony is aware of it?
Where can we complain? It's their damn top of the range phone and it's most basic function isn't working right.

Knock yourself out. I've had more than one device with the Snapdragon 835 behave in this way, so I think it's a chipset issue.

Do a Google search for WiFi and Oreo and you will see that this is affecting multiple cell phones.
Do they all have the 835 chip in them???
I think it is an Oreo issue.
I have no such problems and I have Oreo and the 835.
Try disabling IPv6 on your router.
This is still OS/firmware issue but this temporally fix the issue

I found the solution:
My network works with two devices:
1 ZTE Router (2.4GHz)
1 D-LINK Repeater (2.4GHz)
In the router my XZ Premium works nicely, in the repeater happen exactly what you said, Connect apperars "no internet" after 1 second and wifi on Smartphone is automatically disabled or wifi stay enabled, but says "disabled" on network.
So.. I checked the wlan settings of the two devices in my network exhaustively item by item and I changed the devices settings about 20 times, I and I found that none of the settings matters (wpa or wep, 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz, Bandwidth 20Mhz or 40Mhz, type of network b / g / n, nor channel 1 to 13) just ignore this.
What REALLY MATTERS is a option in the advanced wlan settings, called "Fragment Threshold" this value was at 500, I changed it to the maximum (2346) and my XZ Premium started the connection instantly. Explaining: increasing this value defined that the packet can be up to 2346 bytes before being fragmented, so we deactivate packet fragmentation, reducing overhead and ensuring the best transmission rate possible, so this option determines the size of the frame.
Put simply: Go to advanced Wlan settings, locate "Fragment Threshold" and change to the highest possible value. That worked for me =)
worked for me
1- turn off wifi in being wifi settings ie where you view your wifi networks
2- select "scanning settings". it will show once you have turned your wifi off
3- turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
4- go back turn wifi back on and enjoy

It did not work for me, unfortunately.
I know I am reactivating this thread after nearly 3 years of the last post but did anyone find any effective solution to the Wifi issue?
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.
