I have problem: My wifi signal drop every 60 secs approximately,on every stock rom from JVQ to the newest JVU. Last rom where wifi works great was JVQ after that version i have same problem in every single STOCK rom,JVZ,JW1,JVU... (on CM7,ICS port,MIUI I dont have that problem).
Anyone know how can i fix it? (sorry if my english is not to good)
Known problem. There is a workaround however. Set your wifi routers dhcp lease time from 0 (or never) to, for example, 120 mins. Also remove ip address reservation (if set) in your routers settings.
Used to have the same problem at android 2.2, but the 2.3.3 update fixed it. I used to assign a static IP to my device at home, that helped for the time being.
I have INTRACOM JetSpeed IAD-Wp2 router and cant find non of these settings.
Try going to 192.168.1.1 in your webbrowser on your pc, and try getting access with username and password "admin". That should allow you to configure some settings, including assigning a certain IP address to your phone.
On your phone, go to wifi settings, advanced, and enable "Use static IP address". Then configure it's settings.
You should refer to the routers manual to find out the setting for the dhcp lease time and ip address reservation. Routers and their names for these settings can differ slightly from each other.
If you set static ip in your phones wifi settings, you may not be able to use wifi anywhere but in your home network.
So the problem is my router or the phone? All these solutions that you have proposed are not long-term right? It will help me just when I am at home but if I go out somewhere that settings will not be of some help right?
The settings I posted were looked up specifically for your router, milanche911. But indeed, it'll only fix it when you're at home; you'll have to turn using a static IP off if you're elsewhere.
Does it happen to you no matter what router you use? I only had it happen to me at home, at other people's places things were fine.
try this application
it is WiFi scanner and signal checker... in config is setting scan Frequency 0-30 seconds and including the radar and WiFi sources GPS locator ...
good luck.

If the issue is the "wifi bug" which has been covered in the leaked rom threads, the culprit is the phone.
As a long-term solution, there's no harm in setting the wifi routers dhcp lease time to finite value and removing the address reservation, so that the router is not forced to give your phone always the same ip. At this point, you should not change the ip to static in your phones settings, this is what will prevent you using wifi outside your home.
Now you should find a way to check these settings in your routers configuration.
Thank you people! Thank you for your help, the problem was that I had been logging into the router settings with admin / admin and I got the complete setup for just a basic settings. Trick was that I log in with admin / tzlkisonpk and thus get full router settings where I finally found the "lease time" setting. Configured for two hours and now everything is fine. Thank a lot once again! Cheers!
Glad it worked out

Hi all,
After connected to wifi, I still could not get any internet connection. Anyone knows why? Is there any additional settings i need to check/uncheck?
Thanks.
If your router/access point has DHCP enabled, there shouldn't be any additional settings.
On the TFLO Settings tab, open "Menu" -> "Wireless Networks", then "Advanced". Is "Status" associated, and a valid IP for your network?
DHCP IP assignment
I had a hard work of IP assignment with my Diamond initially. Could connect to Wifi with all of those security configs (WEP/WPA/WPA2) but could not fix IP. I had to change IP lease time from 3 weeks to 3 hours with my D-Link 624. Than it worked perfectly.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
My status is associated, and there is IP address assigned. I wonder what's wrong. The funny thing is, my Asus P750 is able to connect and surf.
Did you solve your issue? If not, try to change WIFI power management to max performance.
Hi this is my first time on a site and I just wonder if anybody can solve my problem!
I,ve read a few posts and set my xda llI so that in connections my network card connects to work!Also have done all the rest and set it to internet just in case as well
My Isp in connections window is on the advanced tab and select networks on the network Management is set to My Isp.
my Wirles Lan Manager is status connected to network
My ssid is the one that all the house computors are set to,my mode is Infratructure and Tx is Auto.My channel is 6
my bssid is 00-18-2D etc etc.
My Mac is 00-09- etc ,etc.
My IP.169.254.168.73
signal quality is good
I,ve been onto the 192.168.0.1 website and added the mac address of the xda lli but when I try to get the internet on the xdalli to connect it justs says default page. I cannot seem to connect. is this normal or do I have to go through O2 to pay for another internet connection besides my home address one.Have I missed something out!Help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Hi,
Your IP of 169.x.x.x means that you are trying to use DHCP to get an ip address but haven't been supplied one by your router..
The ip addres of your router is 192.168.0.1, so it may be sensible to setup your router to allow a dynamic address range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.110 (say) - when anyone tries to connect using a dynamic address (using dhcp), they'll be given an address in this range.
So, initially check if DHCP is enabled.
Do you have a laptop that connects using a dynamic ip address (ie not static - ie not implicitly defined) - if so then DHCP _is_ already working and there's another problem.
If this is the case, I'd initially disable any kind of mac-filtering or security until you get a simple connection going..
Sorry, if this isn't too clear - I'm tired - what router are you using?
Kev
First hand it can depend on your router
I have had problems connecting with Virgin broadband routers for instance.
Have you tried connecting elsewhere?
Also what type of security do you have on your router?
One more thing to try
Check under the "Network Cards" settings when disconnected and select "the internet" from the drop down menu.
Hope this helps
clearing the way so that I understand correctly!

My router is a netgear dg834GT.I,ve looked at the range and the range for 192.168.0.1 actually goes from 192.168.0.2 upto 192.168.0.254 so the range should be there. how would I know if the router is DHCP, is there a way of seeing this? The filter would be set up where for the mac address?Is there a way of changing the isp on the phone so that its range is within the 192.168.0.1 range?the only security that I have is the routers own and the avg antivirus.would disabling the avg help!

If you haven't set up mac filtering, then it won't be a problem.. if you have, then there should be an option to disable/remove any you've input - build security up from a working setup.
Have you (can you borrow) a laptop that you can setup wireless with a dynamic ip address and check that connects; if that's okay then the router is setup correctly.
So I the Alpine comes up with "connected to network" but the ip address is 169.x.x.x ..
This means that the Alpine has not been allocated a usable ip-address by the router for some reason and you'll get nowhere until this happens.
Your other PCs.. are they set to dynamic ip addresses - I guess so as you have no room for static addresses. You should probably check they're all dynamic as if (say) you've allocated a static ip address of 192.168.0.2 to one of them and then DHCP tries auto-allocating addresses, I guess there could be a conflict (don't know how clever dhcp is). Usually I would set the DHCP range to 192.168.0.100 -> 192.168.0.200 (allowing 100 different dynamic addresses).
Have you checked that authentication is set top 'Open' and Data Encryption 'Disabled' on the Alpine; and ensure you've disabled (temporarily) all router security..?

Thanks kev for replying.
I have a hard wired lead to the router for one computor and 3 laptops connected by wifi and another computor connected by wifi.
the range or should I say the ip addresses are 192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4
upto 192.168.07.I,m at work at the moment but as soon as I get home tonight I'll set the wep key to disabled is there any other thing on the router that I need to do?
Can't think of anything else...
But at least you know DHCP is working if the other PCs are getting ip addresses okay.
And you know the wireless is working...
So it does look likely that it will be something to do with WEP/WPA encryption... (I guess you've got it setup at home), hence why the router isn't allocating you an ip-address.
If you can't get it going, it may be worthwhile doing some sceenshots of the router configuration pages (or config files)...
What I can tell you is that what you are doing looks correct and you have everything setup so you can go on the internet whilst at home using the Alpine. Mine uses the router whilst at home and GPRS whilst out.

The dg834GT is pretty much the one that Virgin use, like I said in my earlier post.
I have found these particular routers to be a problem (sometimes) with my Alpine.
You should try to update the firmware.

Well Done Kev!
It was the "open"on the phone and putting "open" on the router.I had to intiallely disable the wep key.then when I got connected,I reactivated the WEP key and I could not connect.So on the phone I unticked the automatically connect to my name of my router name and reput in my encryption key again and I was in and On line.Thanks to both of you(Kevcal and Voxshots) for helping me.Definately could not have done it without you Pair.I like the idea of using the screenshots so I,ll post a screenshot of all the settings on the phone and computor so that anybody else will be able to resolve there problems with all credits going to you people on the bottom!
Very happy to have helped and glad you sorted it out
I just bought my Samsung galaxy S i9000 and the only problem i have is with the WI-fi,it works fine until i reset the router(just power on and off), then it starts doing obtaining "IP adress from..." and it wont connect ever again .The only option in this case is to reset the phone to factory setting and this is frustrating.
I noticed that if i turn off the wi-fi on the phone first and after that reset the router and then turn on again the wi-fi on the phone works.The problem is sometimes i forget turning it off from the phone or if a power cut happens it will do the same thing until reseted to the factory settings again and of course i lose all the applications.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Try to change the wi-fi name to something smaller.Also if you use password for the wi-fi try to deactivate it to see if it is the same problem.I feel that it has something to do with the decreption used in the router...maybe i m wrong..
I will try the password removal to see if the problem persists.
Nop, it doesn't work either way, i called a neighbor to come by with his nokia N8 and it seems to work fine for him.
By the way my IP changes every time if i power on and off the router i think the problem might come from there since it says "obtaining Ip adress from...", but then again for nokia N8 works just fine, and i even renamed and reseted the router to different settings and still doesn't work so my guess is that the phone has a problem.
Your router changes IP every time you restart it? Can you explain a little...are you being re-issued a dynamic IP from your ISP thats refreshes when you reset your router? Otherwise I would think even after resetting your router it would default to 192.168.1.0 or .0.0.
Either way it sounds like a DHCP problem...where the router is not properly issuing an IP address to the phone, or your phone has cached old settings and isn't being able to pick up an IP after your router changes IP.
Yea Kops the Ip is dynamic and refreshes every time i reset the router

I would look into seeing if your router is capable of NAT (as most routers are). This would enable a private network in the 192.168.x.x range, and might solve the issue of it not picking up the new IP if the issue is with caching the old one. As far as clearing any cache related to wifi, I'm not exactly sure where that would be found. You could try going into your Settings > Wireless & Network > Wifi settings and forgetting the network. Doing this and letting it re-discover it may help.
May I ask why you are resetting your router? I see no need for it to happen very often. Also, just let me clarify....if you successfully join the wifi, and leave the wifi range...when you return, will it connect again? Does the non-connection only happen after resetting the router?
Have you tried to use static IP for your phone instead?

This might be worth a shot if you could get NAT working, to eliminate the "obtaining IP address" from the DHCP... but if the IP is constantly refreshing and changing, I'm not sure it would do any good.
I can't see any wifi hot spots including my own under "WIFI networks". Running latest Cybermod 7.2 on an EU milestone phone. I have no MAC IP floating or static address under "advanced settings". I wonder if that is the problem.
- Regulatory domain is set to 11 (US, my location)
- MAC address = Unavailable
- IP address = Unavailable
- Static IP address is turned off; no settings
If this is the problem, where would I find either the mac address and IP or, numbers to plugin for a static address?
Thanks much in advance,

Go download apndroid.apk Google it
Thanks, downed it and installed, put a widget on my desktop, not sure what it supposed to door how I'm supposed to set the 3 radio button but it isn't helping anything at this point. Still no wifi.
PK
Go to the apndroid and enable stuff there sorry i already forgot about it
Thanks again,
Put check marks in the three boxes and made the little button on top have a green bar. Hasn't fixed anything. The main problem I think is I have no MAC address anywhere. The iI think with it in floating mode, the IP address will be given out by the WiFi hot spot.
I wonder how I can give it a MAC address.
Regards, PK
When WiFi is turned off, it will show no MAC address. Are you sure WiFi is on and searching for networks? Try toggling WiFi off/on again. Still no MAC? Perhaps your ROM isn't accessing your WiFi chip correctly.
Thanks,
Nice to know about the mac address.
The WiFi Check marks don't stay on very long....20- 30 secs. During that time it doesn't pick up any hot spots. It also doesn't find any when I use the "search" option (found by pushing settings button wile in "wifi settings" with both boxes checked).
Regards, PK
If WiFi won't stay enabled, then there's an issue with the driver. Have you tried another ROM?
Thanks,
I went from Cybermod 7.1.x to the latest Cybermod 7.2.x. I don't see that many popular roms around any more for this phone. Any suggestions?
Does the "radio" include the wifi drivers and is it possible to flash radio independently like on other phones.
PK
Post your dmesg (or logcat -b kernel) after you try to enable wifi.
Most probably it's a hardware issue.

suddenly lately i am reading that a lot of people have hardware problems with wifi - including myself...
That is a strange coincidence, however unfortunately it happened...
Hey guys, I got a problem with wifi on my One. The thing is I got a couple of wifi routers in my house (one can't cover the entire building) and they're both broadcasting the same SSID, password etc. basically one is connected via RJ45 to the other and set up exactly the same way. Problem is when I move around the house and lose connection to one of my routers and the phone automatically connects to the other all my connections on the phone stop working and I have to turn my wifi off and on again. Same thing happens when I'm at my university, each floor has 2 wifi routers on it and phone tends to jump between them screwing up the internet connection each time. I know it might not be the biggest issue in the world but still it's quite annoying especially since my old SGS didn't have this problem. My phone is not branded and of course up to date. Thanks for any advice.

From my experience after installing a lot of different wifi's in different operation modes, it all depends on how exactly the routers have been setup.
But to answer your initial question- the topic at hand; as long as the wifi's broadcasts the same SSID, you cannot choose which of the two individual routers you want to connect to. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik this is not possible. If you want the possibility to choose, then set them up with different SSID's. This would be the _easiest_ solution, just make sure they broadcasts at different frequencies with at least 5 channels apart, i.e. channel 1 and 6, or 6 and 11, or 1 and 11. These are the most popular ones in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. If you use 5 GHz you have a lot more to choose from.
Now, if it's important that your network works seamlessly (with the same SSID), I can provide a step by step guide upon request.
But the solution to your current problem, from my experience; yes you have to turn the wifi off and then on again to "force" the wlan-card on your cell phone to -faster- connect to the closest router, otherwise it will take maybe 15-45 seconds before it does this automatically. It's basically the same with computers. This mostly happens if the wlan-card are within range of both networks, but it will try to stay connected to current one before changing.
And there are some important guidelines to follow when you connect one router to another if they are from the same brand (because of the ip-range and gateway). I once had to setup 8 wifi-routers in a house, because of the size and the thick concrete walls (same SSID)...
The problem is my laptops and other phones don't seem to have this problem, also the phone doesn't 'fix' itself after 40 or so secs it just stays broken as far as I've noticed forever (or at least till i leave my house). Also it doesn't have a problem connecting to the other router, it loses connection, looks for available networks, finds my other router, connects and... nothing works. Exact same thing at the university, finds routers, connects with 5/5 bars and it just doesn't work.

Are you sure you have it setup with DHCP and not some static ip-settings? Can you post some screenshots of your wifi-settings?
If you haven't tried already, get your phone to "forget" it's settings so you have to reenter the password and make sure it's set to DHCP. But first take out the power from both your routers so they get a reboot, and make sure the ethernetcable is connected from one of the LAN ports on the main router connected to the internet (from your cable/dsl/fiber-modem), and in to the WAN/Internet port on the secondary router. Btw what routers do you use as master and slave?
Yes of course I have the routers set up just like you say And yes I'm using DHCP on both of them. They are Airlive 1600GL with tomato rom as main and WR740N as secondary. I took screenshots of what seemed relevant sorry the main router's settings are not in English but it seems that would require me to reflash it with a different rom.

These are Google DNS.
I would do it simple and solve it by changing the SSID on the slave router to something different, like wireless2, and change channel to 1. Or change the channel on the master router from 8 to 11. Your phone will probably change from one network to another faster this way, or it's at least easier for you to manually choose.
If that doesn't help, and the network is 100% problemfree for other wireless devices, I guess it must be a firmware or hardware problem with your One's wlan-card. Most likely firmware.
I will try it in the morning but still I'm pretty confident it's not the matter of setting up my home network but rather One's software bug. I can't say with 100% certainty right now but I don't remember having this issue before the update to the newest Android version.
Both routers need to be on the same subnet, enable dhcp server on one and disable it on the second one. Also set the second one as an access point only with a static ip in the same subnet.
The problem you have now is that wireless clients must negotiate a new ip when switching routers because of different subnets assigned to each.
Let me know if you need more details.
But still that would fix the problem at my home, what about when I'm somewhere else?
What ROM are you running? I leave wifi enabled all the time and haven't had any issues moving between networks, it automatically connects when another network is in range.
Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5 all stock not even rooted.
Since your completely stock it should just work. I'd try fixing the home network first and see if that solves the issue at home, then move on to trying to figure out the network issue at school.
Router1 - master
Internet connected to wan port
Cable from lan port to a lan port on router2
Dhcp: enabled with an ip range of 192.168.1.100 and up
Lan ip 192.168.1.1
Channel 1
Router2 - slave
Nothing connected to wan port
Cable from Router1 lan port to lan port on this router
Dhcp: disabled
Lan ip 192.168.1.2
Channel 11
Set ssid and wpa settings the same on both routers.
With this setup clients can hop from one access point to the other without a dhcp request or ip change, should switch within seconds.

Since your completely stock it should just work. I'd try fixing the home network first and see if that solves the issue at home, then move on to trying to figure out the network issue at school.
Router1 - master
Internet connected to wan port
Cable from lan port to a lan port on router2
Dhcp: enabled with an ip range of 192.168.1.100 and up
Lan ip 192.168.1.1
Channel 1
Router2 - slave
Nothing connected to wan port
Cable from Router1 lan port to lan port on this router
Dhcp: disabled
Lan ip 192.168.1.2
Channel 11
Set ssid and wpa settings the same on both routers.

Tried that setup for many times over the years I've worked with routers, from my experience that is unstable.
