WiFi drops connection

[brosko]

Does anybody else with an n9 on 5.0.1 experience WiFi drops once in a while? (Maybe for a second or 2 the triangle goes empty and then reconnects) this is happening to mine. Rebooting router seems to fix it for a day or so. Any insight at all?

Have you tried a cache clear in recovery? Not sure if it is the same procedure on the 7, but worth a try: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...e-nexus-7-2012-2013-cache-partition-wipe.html

No Wi-Fi problems on the N9 so far, but my N7 on 5.0.2 constantly dropped Wi-Fi. Before the 5.0.2 update the N7 was solid (maybe there is a bug hidden somewhere in lollipop or I just need to clear the case in recovery.... I'll work on it some today & see if it has any positive affect.

Sorry about the N7 stuff on the N9 forum guys

I just got it and set it up for the first time a day or so ago. I doubt the cache needs clearing? I think this is bug in lollipop as I have read about it in various forums and sites online. Also might be my router. I have been having funny things happen over the last month or so with other devices as well. Orange bars, internet connection lost etc.I am going to try a new router first I think.

If it's a bug in Lollipop, I don't have it. WiFi has been solid here since Christmas. I'm on Comcast with a NetGear Nighthawk R7000.

Yeah it seems hit or miss. I am reading stories of some who have upgraded from kit kat and started having the problem. I'm hoping my new router fixes it. It should be here today.

My wife and I both home office so I went with an overkill router. I've had many brands over the years, and I've settled on NetGear. You will be eliminating router problems.

The router seems to have fixed it. I have went 3 or 4 days now with the new router without a disconnect

I've had WiFi issues on a Maxx a few months ago, some things I've noted (1) make sure wps isn't enabled on your wireless router assuming its not an access point, (2) uninstall any apps that access hardware, eg flashlight apps (3) turn off any WiFi scanning and avoid poor connections

Otherwise if its a bug then cest la vie, but #2 above was the issue on the Maxx
