Bad corporate wifi connection issues

Hi,
I've experienced a corporate wifi connection issue.
Having the issue on two z3compacts (latest kitkat build) and also with a Z3 (also latest kitkat build).
connection details:
EAP-Method: PEAP
Phase 2-Auth: MSCHAPV2
CA-Certs: no
Identity: yes
Password: yes
Issue is the following if you roaming between APs it happens the the smartphones jumps to a next AP with better signal but it is not possible to connect to the wifi.
There are two workarounds:
1. re-enter the password for the connection again
2. turn on airplane mode and turn it off again
The state is very annoying.
We've tested various Samsung and Nexus smartphones and we couldn't experienced that issue.
Any of you experienced the same?
Br,
Michael

Hi Phy,
thanks for that hint!
Can't believe anymore that it is a network component issue...because,
We have 500 android devices integrated (LG, Samsung, Nexus) and also nearly 4300 iPhones (4s, 5c, 5s and 6 (IOS7-8))
Besides them three xperia Z3 devices for testing purpose.
We only experienced this issue with the xperia devices.
Actually we're observing this issue over a month now.
We checked also the wifi controler logs and we saw that the xperia devices quit connections and connections tries by themselves.
Br,
Michael

  • HP Slate 21 Pro: WiFi connection issues

    Hi,
    I recently ordered two HP Slate 21 Pro devices. Unfortunately, both of them have WiFi connection issues. After some time the properly configured WiFi connection will be dropped, which results in connectionless devices. The WiFi AP is disabled after this, and so a timed reconnect will not succeed.
    After inspecting the Logcat I found following lines:
    12-05 08:56:58.939 V/EthernetStateTracker(675): report interface is up for eth0

    Is this issue already known? Has someone a solution for me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Christian

    That really shouldn't affect it.
    I'm a little stumped because I haven't seen this issue with this device before. The only similar issue I found was this, and it's unresolved.
    Have you tried doing a hard reboot of the Slate 21? 
    I work on behalf of HP (But this isn't my job)

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

    I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
    If you could help it would be much appreciated.

    That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
    Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
    The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
    You're forgetting that Apples 802AC  wifi is "next generation"  'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable.    Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

  • Wifi Connectivity Issues, how to Downgrade

    I am using a 13 inch macbook late 2007 model running snow leopard 10.6.4 My problem is that after waking my macbook from sleep my wifi errors and has the connection timed out or the invalid password when it is correct. My roommates are able to connect to the router perfectly fine and My airport can connect to my home network as well as the campus network. I have tried the various fixes including trashing the system config folder, adding a new location, deleting locations, adding and removing airport, adding and removing preferred network locations, repairing disk permissions. Im sick and tired of trying to find a work around to this problem. I have time machine enabled but I don't want to roll my computer back an entire year just to fix wifi connectivity issues. Is there a way to downgrade without losing my applications, and personal files. No i didn't make a back up before install, I just want a to downgrade to 10.6.3 which I never had connectivity issues, is this possible?
    Message was edited by: borgeous

    It is managed by apple but no direct responses are from apple, yes i have had problems in the past with arrogance and users showing no respect for "noobs". The genius bar is located 2 hours away and when I do have access im skeptical to leave my macbook with them because i NEED it for school work. But my intentions weren't to be negative but to shed light on a problem. I was being sincere and sometimes the truth is negative; there is most certainly a need because without bringing attention to problems how is anything going to get solved or changed? Also if you reread what i posted it states "Finally a forum where members AREN'T arrogant", meaning that I WASN'T referring to this forum.

  • TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

    Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

    Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
    In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
    The actual issue is the DHCP :
    sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
    when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
    even renewing the address won't work all the times,
    switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
    going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
    Solutions attempted and failed:
    Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
    Reseting iPhone;
    Switching off and on the iPhone;
    Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
    Meditation and stark visualisation;
    Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
    All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
    I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
    Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.

  • Possible solution to iphone 6 wifi connect issues

    Re: Why does iOS 8.0.2 not resolve the issue of WiFi connectivity with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6?
    Trying to keep this thread alive. I had luck with what I discuss there.
    I want to add to that:
    After restoring from an icloud backup from my 4s, I never allowed my new iphone 6 to create its own new backup. I didn't have enough space on my icloud account. I meant to upgrade the space but every time it asked I didn't have my CC around (it wanted to verify my cc info)... so I just cancelled and figured I would do it later.  After deleting both the old and incomplete new backup... my wifi connectivity issues went away. (who knows why?)
    This has worked for a few hours now.. Something is for sure different.  Anyone with this issue try this and let us know how it works .

    iphone5s wifi is **** slow since I updated it to ios 8.0.2  It isn'tmy router because my laptop and PC
    are fine.my wifi is working fine even on Samsung Galaxy s3. I am able to stream movie on youtube on S3 but not on Iphone 5s. even whats up messages take long to download on iphone 5s.
    I have tried the following on the devices and nothing has changed! 
    Turned Wifi on and off
    Forget Wifi network add again
    Reset Network Settings
    Erase all content and restore from iTunes backup
    Erase all content and restore as a new device
    Disabling WiFi in location services >does nothing
    Disabling location services entirely >does nothing
    Changed the network type to WPA in my router to Personal or MixedWPA2/WPA -PSK. Rebooted router.
    I amfrustrated beyond belief! I shouldn't even have to try all these things and I'm even more frustrated the only way I can use my devices is by pulling from my Airtel cellular hotspot and use my data!
    This needs to get fixed ASAP!
    It seems like there is no Solution for IOS 8.0.2 Wifi Problem. We have to wait until apple release new update that may fix it.

  • Windows 8 pro and 8.1 pro WiFi connection issues

    I hope to start a meaningful dialogue with Microsoft about the WiFi issues that Windows 8 and 8.1 have.
    I've been deploying Windows 8 and 8.1 since the Surface Pro was released.  Since then we've deployed about 50-75 Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2, Dell Latitude 7000 series, Lenovo Yoga 13 IdeaPad and Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad devices.  Some have Windows
    8 pro, some have been upgraded to 8.1 Pro, and some were purchased with native 8.1 Pro builds on them.  All of these devices have difficulty with wireless in one form or another.  We were able to reduce some of the problems (not eliminate) on our
    corporate LAN over the last year by turning off Windows' ability to turn off the wireless adapter to save power, or turning off some of the offload or chimney or other advanced capabilities of the adapters.  Problems were still present, but less so. 
    Many of our users were able to be on the wired LAN, so the issues were somewhat glossed over. 
    We were finally able to fix our Wireless LAN issue (we believe everything is working as expected after 2 weeks of testing and observation) by updating the controller and AP firmware for our Aruba wireless infrastructure (we have one controller and 11 ap's
    across 5 well connected sites).  This is great- sort of...
    The problem is that while it's now very obvious that in our case, updating the firmware on our corporate WiFi is able to get the various 8 and 8.1 devices working on our LAN, this is not a true fix as it does not address our mobile and wireless capabilities
    while:
    1. traveling
    2. working at a partner's or customer's location and connecting to their WiFi
    3. Working from Home
    4. Etc.
    We obviously can't update everyone's AP/wireless router firmware.  The solution, by necessity, must reside on the Windows 8/8.1 machine and it's inability to reliably connect and stay connected to existing Wifi networks.   I want
    to know the current state and thinking that Microsoft has regarding this persistent issue (searching for "Windows 8.1 wifi" in the "Windows 8.1 IT pro" forums on TechNet returned 4000+ results).  Ignoring or not addressing this
    problem head on is a huge mistake.  Let us know the root cause (SOMETHING has changed in the Network/IP stack) and a solution to work around the cause. 
    I'll conclude like this: I KNOW that some Wifi issues can be resolved with firmware updates to WiFi routers/APs.  I KNOW that some WiFi issues can be resolved with driver updates or, in some cases, downgrades.  I KNOW some Wifi issues can be resolved
    by uninstalling Intel ProSET, or getting manufacturer direct drivers.  I KNOW some issues can be resolved by turning off Windows' ability to turn off the adapter when "not in use" to save power.  I KNOW some owner's of Windows 8/8.1
    machines have downgraded to Windows 7 or XP or abandoned Microsoft altogether and move to Linux or Mac.  The ONLY common problem across all of these solutions, is Windows 8/8.1.  Therein MUST lie the ultimate answer.

    THIS.
    I have been going through the same efforts as DLovitt with no joy.  I have ruled out all variables which leads directly to something with Win 8/8.1 being the problem.  Very frustrating that I cannot find a fix anywhere.
    Subscribing to this thread in the hopes an answer is forthcoming.

  • Macbook Pro WiFi connectivity issues

    Hi there - planning on contacting Apple directly tomorrow but thought I'd put this question to the community before I run up my phone bill!
    For the past few days I've seen my WiFi connectivity go severely downhill, I've had my new Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina) for a little less than a week, and I haven't had a problem with my internet since a few days ago.
    This is DEFINITELY an issue with my computer. I have other computers and an iPhone which work perfectly well with the same network - in fact, my girlfriend was next to me running on her laptop for 20 minutes whilst I sat there pulling my hair out to the messages of "You are not connected to the Internet" and "Network timeout".
      The computer was originally installed with OS X Lion, but I updated to Mountain Lion after 2-3 days. (Perhaps it's a problem with this? Is this an ongoing thing with the range or the OS?). I have tried reinstalling the OS X, a frustrating ordeal as I actually needed an internet connection to do this! This, however, doesn't seem to have done too much...
    I've tried deleting all information about my network (in the advanced wifi tab, and in Keychain), and also tried entering the wrong password in when manually adding the network, I'd heard that works yet clearly not!...
    I feel like I'm using a mobile phone with bad signal when I have to hold the pc in the air as if i'm looking for that "sweet spot" (strangely enough this usually works for a minute)
    Any ideas? I feel like I've exhausted all means, I'm at the end of my tether!

    I have been having the same problem. When my MacBook Pro running 10.9.1 (Mavericks) wakes up from sleep, whether from shutting the lid or inactivity, the Wi-Fi seaches for a network, but won't reconnect to my known home Wi-Fi network. When I try to select my network from the menu at the top-right of the screen, I get an error message after about 10 seconds saying that the network is unavailable. If I turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on twice, I can then reconnect to my home Wi-Fi network. This is a very annoying problem. Please fix it in 10.9.2.

  • Linksys E3000 – WiFi Connectivity Issue

    I usually have the 2.5GHz (B/G + WEP) and the 5.0 GHz (Mixed + WPA2-PSK) networks running. I have about two to three iPhones running on the 2.5GHz, one Laptop on the 5.0GHz and one desktop wired. Recently in the previous week I came across wireless issues on the E3000 Linksys Router when arriving home from work. My iPhone wasn’t connecting to the Network or my Laptop. It seemed as if the SSID wasn’t broadcasting. I went into the router and played around with it and didn’t find any issues with my user settings.
    The router seems to broadcast the SSID for 2.5 & 5.0 sometimes [it disappears frequently] and when I’m able to attempt to connect it my iPhones plus my Laptop say “Unable to connect to network”. I’m not even connected to it wirelessly to manage the network. The desktop that is wired is able to connect stream internet across the modem though the router, this also goes when I wire my laptop as well.
    I’ve made sure I have the latest Firmware: 1.0.04 & I’ve manually reset the router to factory defaults and still had the same connectivity issues. I’ve disabled the 2.5GHz broadcast and ran the 5GHz to make sure the connections weren’t conflicting with each other, which isn’t the case.
    It seems I’m having broadcasting problems with the router and even resetting to factory settings aren’t working. I’ve noticed it’s not my devices that aren’t experiencing the issues because the iPhones and Laptop are having the same connectivity issue. My router is mounted to the wall and my modem is working perfectly. 
    Edit: The lights that are on & solid, during this problem is the Power + Internet + Wifi + Desktop(2)

    I realize this is an old thread, but curious as to whether the firmware upgrade helped. My problem is similar, but a few things in my configuration changed over the past 2 weeks:
    1) I added a new Roku HD wireless to my router (2 days ago)
    2) I upgraded my broadband modem to the Comcast Arris TG862. I had them put this modem in bridge mode so that I could continue to use my E3000. (2 weeks ago).
    3) I noticed that comcast created an open network on my TG862 called xfinity wifi. I turned this off (yesterday).  Comcast does have an option for it. 
    Starting yesterday (after I turned off the comcast open network, I began to have problems on my 2.5 Ghz band on my linksys router. Never had these problems before. The network disappears, then re-appears. Somtimes I can connect to it but it's only a matter of time before it disappears again. 5 Ghz seems solid. 
    Last night, as a test, I turned my xfinity wifi open network back on, and all of a sudden my 2.5 Ghz was rock solid (at least for about 5 hours). It then disappeared again. 
    I will try the router firmware upgrade, but wondering if the Arris 862 could have anything to do with this. I'm not sure I trust comcast - particularly after they played that nasty open network trick on me. 
    Thanks!
    2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
    Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
    Try setting a manual [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channel] Channel [/url] to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.
    What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto TPIK and AES.
    Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
    Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.metageek.net/support/metageek-software-archives/ to find out. How many?
    I prefer not to use Arris branded modems or modems with built in routers. I recommend that you check to see if you can get into a Motorola SB 6141 or similar modem model that is stand alone. Comcast support Motorola modems I believe. 
    I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
    Thank you for the suggestions. Security is WPA2/PSK. This has not changed.
    A few questions. With regard to your last paragraph, even if I got a bad data flow from the ISP modem, I would still expect my router to be visible (or am I mistaken). I think, in the past, I've completely turned off my ISP modem and I could still see my router - just had no internet connection. 
    I'll look for other wifi routers - it just seems so darn coincidental with turning off that xfinity open wifi. I've always noticed other wifi signals in the area, I didn't actually notice any new ones (other than that silly xfinity one). 
    One thing I did do, I did remove an AP I had connected to the router when I set up the Roku because it seemed like it was un-necessary once I switched to the Arris modem. I just disconnected it... should it be degrown or something? 
    Thanks!

  • X1 Carbon (20AX series) wifi connectivity issues

    Dear Lenovo Support and all others,
    I am posting this in hope that someone can help with my problem and also to share my unpleasant experience with a new Lenovo product.
    Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon
    Model: 20A8A00VSG
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    Purchase date: 27th February 2014
    Since the first day I purchased the system, I have been having an issue with my wireless connection:
    1. I am unable to reliably get a wireless connection to wireless access points (e.g. free wifi coffee outlets or malls) and personal mobile hotspots (mobile phone hotspots). It constantly says "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY". In other words, I cannot get internet access. Even when it does connect to the network and get internet access, there is a tendency for the connection to drop back to "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY".
    The only time I can get a reliable connection is when I am connected to my home wireless router. The system does not seem to have problems on home wifi networks. Since the problem seems limited to wireless access points and hotspots, I believe its a hardware/software problem.
    Please note that I have other  wireless devices (laptops and mobile phones) that can connect to the same networks that I am trying to connect to and have no issues.
    I have tested the networks with my friends' wireless devices as well and they have no issues accessing the internet so I am fairly certain that there is no issue with the networks themselves.
    2. I have already called in twice and been given advice on both occasions but the problem still persist. I have updated all drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled and updated the BIOS for the system and also performed a system recovery but nothing has worked so far.
    I have also tried disabling and/or deleting any anti-virus software and firewalls but it does not fix the problem.
    I have also been advised that I need to go down to the Lenovo service center to have my laptop checked out by the technicians and that there MIGHT be a firmware upgrade for the wireless card itself.
    NOTE: MIGHT? The support staff doesn't even know for sure whether there is an upgrade available.
    3. Rebooting my computer, the wireless card or the hotspots does not solve the problem. It might work for a shortwhile before it reverts back to it's non working state or stops working again once I reboot the system.
    I am really unhappy with the purchase so far. It's actually a good laptop per se when all is working, but without internet access, it is pretty much like a dead fish. And thats 90% of the time.
    Like I said, this problem has been happening since day one and I've tolerated it long enough.
    I hope someone can help me with this problem.
    Thanks all.
    UPDATE - 3/24/2014
    I borrowed an ASUS Wireless USB adapter from a friend and installed it on the laptop. Lo and behold there are no connectivity issues to my iPhone wireless hotspot.
    INTEL DUAL BAND WIRELESS AC 7260 - NO CONNECTION/LIMITED ACCESS
    ASUS USB N10 WIRELESS ADAPTOR - CONNECTIVITY AND INTERNET ACCESS
    I think this narrows it down to the software/hardware in the computer....

    Hi, all
    there is an issue bugged driver or even card firmware related. Intel confirmed that. Wait some time for the new release.
    For the test purpose only disable 2,4 ghz band support and switch to 5 ghz. N-band seems unstable so switch to G-band. As the Linux users report the same issue it's firmware bug basically.
    x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
    x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
    Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • IPhone 5 2.4ghz/ weak wifi connectivity issues

    Hello. So when I got my iPhone 5 I had a 2.4ghz linksys router and I thought the router was messing up dropping the connection a few times a day so I bought a Netgear dual band which in return worked pretty well.
    Now for some circumstances I had to move for a while to an apartment and the router there is a netgear 2.4ghz and it worked fine since I was very close to the router but then I moved rooms and I would get 2 bars BUT the conection would be super slow, it barely loaded web pages. So I didn't notice this but whenever something heavy was to be loaded, it dropped the wifi connection and used the LTE data. Before you know it, after a day of watching netflix, I had used about 2gb of data. what the frick???
    So I decided to test out my iPhone 5 vs my iPad 3 and the results were:
    iPhone 5 and iPad 3 did well in 5ghz band, near and far, but iPhone 5 was significantly slower
    iPhone 5 did well in 2.4ghz band, near, but still significantly slower than the iPad 3 near the router.
    iPhone 5 was slow in 2 bars and dropped connection to LTE in 2.4ghz band, far from the router.
    so my conclusion was that maybe my wifi chip is faulty which is why i'm getting very poor signal and connection.
    the worst part is it drops my wifi connection and connects to LTE and eats up my data. Turning off cellular data seems to get rid of that issue, but nothing fixes the slow internet while having 2 bars on 2.4ghz.
    will they replace my iPhone if I take it to an Apple Store?
    would it help that the screen seems to be ungluing from the bottom? i press on it and it makes a clicking sound when before it didn't use to.

    You might have to get an antenna for the netgear. My iphone5 was great with my old zytec router. It died and I just bought a netgear, and on the 5 band I still have to be close. I was reading on netgear forum, some of the routers have a weak signal. The iphone 5 has a weaker antenna than previous models.
    I had to turn in my first two phone becue they would not even read the wifi on my any router.
    A lot of people are having this issue witht he net gear. You can get an atenna, or get a signal enhancing case for the phone.

  • Major iPad 3 WiFi connection issues since 5.1.1 update

    Prior to the 5.1.1 update (which ironically was supposed to fix wifi issues), my iPad 3 worked great.  Since the update it has been a complete disaster. 
    Even though it always shows a strong wifi connection, certain apps seem to have no connection while others work fine.  Safari usually works ok, although sometimes pictures won't show up - just a small box in the corner.  Facebook app always seems to have issues as does Pandora.  The biggest problem is the App Store or iTunes which say it cannot connect even though Safari works fine at the same time.  Ive tried reconnecting, rebooting, and I even bought a new router since I thought maybe my old one was causing the problem.
    Is Apple fessing up to this issue?  I have to believe it is a software/firmware issue since before the update everthing worked fine.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
