Like the post above said you can it by going to settings > tap on your wifi (like if you were looking to select your network) > menu then advanced. Option is there.

Thanks! It helped fix mine as well.

Will this indeed affect battery life? Have you noticed any difference or is the difference negligible?

You should be fine. It should actually help to since you be connecting and disconnecting from WiFi constantly every time you go to use your phone.

Go To Settings, tap WiFi. Tap the menu button. Advanced should be there.

Hi, I am having the same problem. I went to advanced wifi settings and did the option that the above said but it still happens? What should I do? Thanks

Another little trick is to disable wifi power saving mode. Open your dialer and input: *#0011# then press the menu key, and choose wifi, then tap the little button that says "on", it'll restart wifi and the power save mode will be disabled. I'm not exactly sure what the power saving mode does, but it doesn't say "preparing network" as often as it used to.

Your Wi-Fi screen looks different than mine, but you can try pressing the Menu button, select Advanced and look for an option named 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' - set it to 'Always'.

The problem is not fixed Wi-Fi
The problem is that my phone's Wi-Fi can not search for points of distribution of Wi-Fi


Please solution if possible ...

You're saying that no Wi-Fi access points are listed, or that you can't connect to any of the ones that are listed?

Did Wi-Fi ever work correctly?
Does the Wi-Fi icon show up in the Status bar? (I didn't see it in your screenshot.) If so, how many bars (curved lines) are shown?
