LG g3 WiFi issues

[ziggazee]

Is anyone else having this problem? My phone keeps dropping the WiFi signal even if I'm next to the WiFi router. The WiFi indicater shows good signal with all bars lit at all times and I don't get any notifications of signal being low but it still doesn't load/connect to anything. It's very sporadic, but regular.. once singal is lost it won't load anything for a minute or 2 even if the WiFi on the phone is turned off and on. I've tried resetting the router but the problem still persists. All other devices connected to the same WiFi don't have any problems. I'm using the virgin super hub by netgear.

Same over here. I have 3 other devices on the same router and none have a problem. Restarting the router does not solve the problem.

I have a similar issue at my partner's house. When I first got the phone I had no issues connecting to the 5 Ghz wi-fi connection, but lately I have issues with the 5Ghz, but connecting to his 2.4 Ghz connection works well. His device and other household devices work well on the 5 Ghz connection. It is annoying, but since the 2.4 Ghz seems quick, I am not going to worry too much about it right now. Hope there is a solution though.

I remember my z1 having similar problems...it was fixed by changing the security mode I think...wep..wpk...or something...just fool around with it...no harm in trying

I have a NetGear accesspoint that the G3 refuses to connect to regardless of the G or A bands. So frustrating.

Stard having this issue this weekend, thought it was the router location and I repositioned and still no help.

Hoping and update fixes it

I too have experienced issues with WiFi during my last 4 days of ownership. Perfect WiFi signal (I was sitting within feet of the router) yet no Internet connection. Cycling WiFi off and on fixed the issue. This occurred on two different networks using different hardware. Both were using WPA2-PSK authentication. No other devices on the network experienced any issues.

That option was already enabled on my device. I never enabled it, so it must have been on by default.

Also, when this happened, my G3 still had a valid IP address

Have same problem since day 1. Cycling between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and vice versa seems to fix for the short term.

But seems to happen on a daily basis.....!

I have the issue has well. In fact, mine will sit at obtaining IP address.

add static ip address to resolve the issue

I added static ip address and it was able to connect to the wifi but it will
be the same problem when you connect to another wifi at a different location.

Do not change network prefix length/DNS1/DNS2. Keep these the same.
You could use this as temporary fix at home atleast and connect to wifi.

Disconnect completely from your WiFi, switch off WiFi on the phone, turn back on and go to advanced settings, uncheck the Google auto scan thing, then connect back to your WiFi.

It worked on mine. Much more stable.

I am also experiencing this and it is really annoying. Toggling WiFi off and back on always fixes it, but that is not an actual solution because the problem happens so frequently.

I have tried:

1. Disabling Sprint connection optimizer
2. 'Keep WiFi on when screen is off' is enabled
3. 'Allow WiFi scanning' is disabled
4. 'WiFi signal weak' is disabled (set so that it does not disconnect from WiFi when signal is weak)
5. 'Battery saving for WiFi' is disabled
6. Using a static IP address
7. Factory Reset
8. Forget network

I still have had no luck. Does anybody else have any suggestions? I have about a dozen devices on my network and they play nicely; this is the only device giving me trouble. I am starting to wonder if it is time to RMA?

EDIT: It doesn't seem to happen when I connect to the WiFi at my work. Hopefully flashing a newer build of DD-WRT will remedy this. I love this phone except for that one issue; unfortunately though, this issue would be pretty hard to live with....

Same thing here. Before G3 I had G2 and Flex, both had the same wifi problem. Funny thing is that some $150 Chinese almost noname generic phones never have this problem on my home wifi. It's exclusive to LG.

Same Problem here. I am having a Nexus 5 sitting next to it. No problem with the N5 but constantly interruptions with the G3. This phone is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

I have the VZW G3 rooted, have no issues with WiFi on either antenna using an Asus dual band router.

I did have issues with a dlink, but it had issues with all phones not just the g3 so I replaced it.
