Nexus 6P WiFi keeps dropping

[ZAIN2K2]

Hi all,

This has my first post, just downloaded the app!

I just bought my Nexus 6P, love this phone but the Wi-Fi connection. I had a Nexus 5 for 2 years with the same Wi-Fi setup in my house with no problems at all. All my other devices work fine, but the nexus 6p periodically drops the Wi-Fi and then connects again. Anyone else have experienced Wi-Fi issues with they're device? Have you found a fix?

I have this issue. And from what I read throughout other forums, many have this problem.
In my case when I turn the display off the WiFi is disconnected. When I turn it back on, I can see no WiFi, and my SIM data being used, WiFi reconnects in a couple of seconds. I have tried all the solutions everyone provided, all the settings etc but no use. Thinking of exchange or refund.
This is very frustrating !!

Keep Wi-fi on during sleep should be on, under Wifi > Advanced settings.

Hey guys!! I was having this issue as well! For some odd reason I thought to download "Wifi Keep Alive" and it worked!! My wifi no longer keeps dropping,! Try this!

+1 that's a great app, i found that if i was connected to a VPN the system that app uses kept getting errors and it's default behaviour is to then disconnect and reconnect your wifi which is not what I want it to do

I prefer "best wifi keeper" though which also works well but works great with VPNs
