[Q] Wifi will not auto connect

[shadowofdarkness]

I have had this problem for awhile where my phone will not auto connect to my home WiFi, at first I thought it was due to me doing a lot of updates without wiping and was fine with that but I just updated to official LS8 and did a factory reset and it is still happening.

I did nothing but the initial login setup then left my phone when it lost the connection it would not connect again. I have to go through settings and manually select my AP and hit connect. Luckily it does save the credentials which is good since my passphrase is 63 characters long.

Anyone know what could be wrong. My cousins S II on the same software works fine connecting to my WiFi.

To reiterate I did do a factory reset and had the problem within minutes of starting the phone with zero changes other then logging into my Google account.

may be the problem is with the firmware or software you are using!!!!!
just do one thing and try if it works!
install any of the custom Rom present here which you like the most, maybe it stock or what else it doesn't matter!!!
do a full wipe in recovery and do format data, system and cache and then install the custom Rom!!!!
formatting will solve some of your basic problems related to Rom!!!
format options are available in recovery under Mount and storage option!!!
just try this once and let me know Bro!!

which kernal are you using some kernal have issues with certain types of routers because either the router or the phones wifi files are not upto date or cannot communicate with each other properly.

Flash other modem.

Don't ask how, use search, plenty of info.

I finally got it working, it turns out the JB firmwares were more picky about router settings then before. I found some advice on a different problem that unexpectadly fixed it where I specified the routers channel and width to 36 and 20mhz instead of auto.

That worked but caused massive slowdown on my LAN transfers for my laptop 8.5 MB/s instead of 12.5 MB/s I did some trial and error and found channel 64 and 40mhz also worked for my phone and gave me the better speed.
