sorry for my wrong english and thanks everyone can help me
Have you tried to reboot your phone ? Device has the ability to adjust it antenna power depending on signal strength, and by being to close to access point it may gone in a very low antenna power.
You should consider upgrading you Baseband .

I gave similar problem with my phone on the same firmware. WiFi just goes off and comes back on by it self. It's really annoying issue and if you guys now how to fix it I would appreciate it. I just switched to Arc S few days ago from Galaxy S and still finding my way around this forum so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

it's common bug among a lot of arc s users apparently either rebooting your phone or turning off and on the wifi will probably get rid of the issue
Hmm, i think only my phone has this problem, when everytime it was out of connection range, i had to restart the moderm and then my phone was connected wifi as usual. May be i will try to up the phone to .587 but i will lose many modification as toggle,... So is there any way to up firmware without losing modification

try maybe flashing the 587 kernel. 587 kernels can be found here
maybe reboot router? or install new firmware

You can also try to flash a different baseband. It helped my WiFi range on my LT15i improve slightly so that I can now hold on to a steady signal in locations of the house where I couldn't before on the stock baseband.

AFAIK baseband has nothing to do with wifi.

Can anyone confirm if wifi disconnection problem has been fixed with the 2.3.3 update? Thanks
Well I flashed 2.3.3 2 days after I got my Arc, and I've never faced the wifi problem, guess it is fixed?
(Do you mean the one where it disconnects while downloading large files? Mine still gets disconnected about once in 2 days)
Its the one when arc keeps dropping the wifi connection. When wifi sleep policy set to 'never' and yet it drops it almost every time the home button is pressed after the screen has gone off.
Exactly that problem I am still having with my 2.3.3 arc
Mine is better
After upgrading to 2.3.3 it did not seem to improve at all for me, still randomly drops the connection, despite the wifi icon in the status bar still showing as connected. I returned the phone to vodafone yesterday who denied any knowledge of the problem despite so many people on the net complaining about it. They've sent it back for repair now anyway, fingerscrossed they sort something out, but i'm not too optimistic to be honest.
Still have wifi problem here after 2.3.3. Hope they'll fix it's soon

Seemed my router was indeed the problem (Dlink DIR-655).
The time the router ran in was somewhere in 2004, so maybe that caused the Arc to not be connected properly. Weird that laptops and the X10 mini we have don't had any problems with it.
@Roel_1982
what did you do to your router to fix your problem?
Did you change some settings?
Or did you get a new router?

There is no wifi disconnection problem with the Arc. I can confirm this because I use my device mainly through wifi when I listen for hours to online radio stations and haven't faced a single disconnection problem.
yup, still drop out ... GB 2.3.3 hk .145 firmware, TP-Link modem router.
Change wireless router to "g" mode and works ok. It seems to have problem with "N"

I adjusted the time, to update automatic.... also gave my Arc a fixed address through DHCP.
Ever since no problems with the connection. Maybe you could see if there are firmware updates for you're router available.
Update: got the problem again 2.3.3... screen went off, came back on... wifi seems to be connected in the status bar, but it's not
test this http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...PrRWuDqnnVcDpBYIA&sig2=uxmWpCo5pLQ9vBzEpDEqzQ

Still have the same problem after 2.3.3 on Xperia Neo. =(
Try to turn off WMM in the QoS section of your router. It worked perfect for me. No more drops or disconnections. It's because of poor implementation of WMM in Xperia WLAN driver.
i just flashed the firmware using SEUS, and i dont have wifi disconnections anymore, i think its something to do with flashing the firmware via flashtool o rosmething
I just flashed the firmware using flashtool and i dont have wifi disconnections anymore
My Arc never had a problem with wifi and it doesn't on 2.3.3 either
Something that has worked for a few of us is switching the router to just wpa.

FIXED:
Apparently the router had a reset button which I just dicovered hidden between the vent gaps, which has a different function than just pulling out the power cord for a minute or so. Now WiFi is working on my phone.
My phone won't connect to a WPA/WPA2 PSK WiFi network. It previously was able to connect (for 2 weeks), but since 6 weeks, it loops: scanning, connecting, disconnected. I have flashed many ROM versions and wiped all phone memory since (mainly for other purposes than this problem), but it still won't connect.
I have tried resetting the router several times without result. I can't access any more settings, because I live with other students in a house where the house-keeper also lives.
The WiFi at my university (802.1x EAP) and the WiFi at my parents house (also WPA/WPA2 PSK) always works properly.
I have searched through the internet and through XDA-forums, but none of the proposed solutions works, can be done on my phone or I am not able to try them because I can't access the router settings.
How about different kernels?

I have the same problem. After unlocking bootloader/rooting my Arc it doesnt connect with my router anymore. My other "still locked/unrooted" Arc has no problem connecting to the router...
edit: seems my BT is having problems aswell.. couldnt connect/find any other devices

I'm running stock 2.3.4 with stock kernel. DoomKernel still has problems isn't it? I'll have to live with it till that's fixed. Already tried reverse tethering, maybe that will work.
It's not such a big problem, as I have my laptop near me there, but installing apps is quite a hassle this way (search for .apk, install apk with flashtool or move apk to sd and install).
I don't have a data plan, it's €10/month for 200mb, pointless for me, because there's WiFi at home, at my university and in the train.

When you restoring your phone and after that making setup, then dont log into your google account. Install freshly new rom and directly try connect wifi. If i remember right i had to thiskind problem. And after i realized that problem was "google settings and thatkind stuff backup restore". I just uncheck this option and after that i was abel connect my home wifi. Before that i cant. give a try

I am using recently acquired Xperia Pro. I get very weak wifi signals in my room so i bought a Thomson Wifi Repeater/Access point to extend the wifi signal to my room. My phone is now unable to connect to the wifi and keeps scanning, connecting and disconnecting. It eventually ends up with a Limited Connectivity noticfication meaning i am unable to connect to internet although get full wifi signal strength. I tried changing some IP configurations but it hasn't helped. Interestingly my Notebook PC is able to connect and maintain somewhat stable connectivity, although at times it too gets disconnected from the internet. I tried connecting to the Wifi using an iPhone and it too had the same issues i.e able to detect the wifi signal but unable to connect to internet.
I am still trying to find the solution to the problem and will update if i find a way out.

I suggest that you update both your phone software and the router firmware to latest possible version.
Let me know how it goes.
same problem
I have the same problem on my arc s after i downgraded the official ICS to gengerbread using flashtool i even tried to upgrade back the ICS but the problem hasn't been fixed
Fixed
Try to find setting on your router like "max number of peers" or something like that and change the value to maximum it can, maybe it will tell the maximum number. After that reconnect your phone wifi, and bless me:angel:
Had same wifi diconnect loop problem - solved
I had the same WiFi loop - connect/disconnect issue. Extremely disturbing.
It appeared out of nowhere.
Rebooted the phone and the router several times - no help.
Used WiFi analizer to check for interferring chanels - nothing special.
Changed the WiFi chanel anyhow - no help.
Reinstalled/uninstalled AT&T smart WiFi - no help
Removed my WIFi network ('forget' button) and found it again, including the password - no help.
I have the WiFi manager installed, but I sort of forgot to check it doing everything through settings.
Only then I found that my WiFi Manager is stuck on the update announcement screen.
Okayed it - problem solved.
Funny thing, I don't remember updating the WiFi manager lately.
Feel so stupid wasting 2 hours.
i installed lupusv10 yesterday and keep having weird wifi problems with uhd rom!!!
I also installed the wifi module.
When i turn on my wifi all my connections in the area keeps switching,
also when i try to connect to my home network it won't let me.
I also tried to reset via terminal but no succes.
Same problem happend when on stock ICS .587 generic.
Hope someone had the same problem before (i really want wifi on my Phone)
Thx for help...

Translate, what does that mean?
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
2nd in the list switches to the 3nd , then 4th goes to 2nd.... (keeps on going) verry weird, maby i should make a vid of it.
If you mean the list of networks keeps changing, it is because the signal strength might be changing and Android does list them by showing the stronger ones first.
My Wifi keeps on dropping. It's very frustrating.
Anybody has this issue?
Please help
Yes, me too. If you have root you can easily fix it by editing a wifi-configfile:
/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Apply the following changes:
ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100
gEnableBmps=0
Your wifi signal should be stronger now and it shouldn't drop anymore.
Found that in the Z forum, also works for Zl.
Don't forget to back up!
....and as usual: i can not be made responsible if you brick...blablabla....

Thank the guy in Z forum, I just copied it from there.
I got my Xperia ZL 6502 about a week ago and I am having simialr issues with wifi. In addition to loosing wifi connection every now and then, the phone's wifi connection is also messing up connection of the wireless router with other connected devices in the house. I found people having similar issues on sony support forums. Seems the phone has compatibility issues with Netgear make of routers. I had absolutely no issues when I connected to a different router.
Did anybody here notice the same issue with your ZLs and did the configfile editing also got rid of the router disconnecting from other devices problem?
WiFi issue still existing after JB upgrade?!
WiFi issue still existing after JB upgrade?!
Hi All,
I've a question. Do you has already an issue with your WiFi after upgrade to JB 4.2.2.?
I guess it is so or it feels so.
BTW: How can I root my XZL to verify the WiFi parameter?!

I'm having the same problem. It can't connect to any network. I also upgraded my firmware but the problem still exists.
Interesting - I'll have to check out these settings later.
I had issues with being able to connect to an 802.1x secured wireless network... I basically reset my wifi settings figuring something was corrupted (I removed most of the files in /data/misc/wifi... I'd previously been told that these files would be re-created if you removed them...)
If you decide to remove these files yourself... make a backup...

it might be a problem with your router and i think that you should check if by default you have not disabled wlan and if it not that then try to reset your router it will definitely work

I think is hardware related since your WiFi was unable to turn on... Like previous S2. After they updated to ICS ROM, a battery leak which causes their WiFi to malfunction. And by the way. did you dropped your phone before?
See this blog:
http://www.stampede-design.com/blog/2012/07/samsung-galaxy-s2-wifi-issue/#.UoAu5XCD91Y
yes I did drop my phone previously but the malfunction does not follow that ...in both times.....previously and now the malfunction followed my discovery and usage of long touch on the WiFi icon in the sliding menu to reach the WiFi setting and choose network....any way the problem have been resolved previously by "more than firmware installation" as the service center worker told me ......I still do not understand what type of software that remain unchanged after complete firmware installation with re-partitioning.
