Help Problems with wifi Samsung galaxy 5 (i5500)

[MrFrem82]

Hi, I've some problem with wifi connections. I own a lynksis wag54g2 wifi router. I can establish a connection, but after some times (it's not standard, it may vary), my device disconnect from the router and it's not able to reconnect. All that i can do is plug off my router (i take off the ac adapter) and when it's up again my phone can connect. it's very frustating, but i don't know what to do? i've tried setting something in wifi preferences' on my phone but nothing change. i've also flashed my firmware to the new one, hoping that it could fix that problem, but it didn't. someone could help me?

p.s. i wrote here because i can't find any specific topic for my phone, if i were wrong please move where it is supposed to be.

I have exactly the same problem.

I just bough a Galaxy 5 yesterday (GT-I5503) and I got it connected to my Wifi without any problems.
I have a Linksys WAG54G2 using a WPA2 Personal security key and the Internet was working fine when I first connected. Browsing, Gmail, etc. all worked fine.

After some hours, my connection broke, I turned off the Wifi on the phone, deleted and added the wifi connection again, I have even restored the mobile to its factory settings, etc. and nothing works. I cannot get to the Internet anymore.

I have other mobiles and computers all connecting without any problems. Just the Samsung is giving me this problem...

Thanks for any help.

Hi! We are in the same conditions and we have exactly the same problem. Did you try to update your galaxy firmware? On Samfirmware.com it seems to be a new firmware for your model, here. Give it a try, if you want.

We still need some help.

I'm facing the same problem as well, it couldn't establish an internet connection.

hello guys
i haven't yet own myself a galaxy 5
but let me tell u something,
i have already used linksys router wrt54g2 for some time
and you know, it's wifi is often not detected after some time....
my bro's iphone, n my laptop often doens't detect the wifi after an hour or more.
so, i think it was the work of the router itself, not the phone...
my suggestion, if u want to restore the wifi router, you go to 192.168.1.1 in web page, password by default is admin, username let it blank....
click on the tab wireless, and go to security tab below, then click save setting
your wifi should be visible again, witchout even restarting the router...

 

[MrFrem82]

Yeah! that worked for me. Once my phone disconnect from the router i did what you suggest. i deactivate wifi on my phone, and do these steps. when i reactivate wifi on the phone it was able to connect. Great!

Now, is ther some way to fix that poblem?

it's not the phone but the router,particularly,linksys. sometimes this router is difficult to configure. giving problems to users attempting connection and having conflicting ips to your provider. i'm using a dlink router and it's been 4 years with nary a problem. my cell is a samsung galaxy 5 gt - i5503. still new so.. no wifi problems yet.

I daily use wifi with this device for abt 4-5 hrs and I never had problem with connection being dropped to the router.

SAME PROBLEM.

It is getting seriously close to class action time. I, as I'm sure many of you, have seen this issue on a lot of other forums.

Who fixes this? My ISP, Telus, says its not their problem. My cell phone company, Virgin told me to exchange my phone because it is defective and I did at The Source (aka Radio Shack) and the second i5500 acts exactly the same way. And how the hell do you actually get to talk to someone at Google or Samsung?

Telus, Virgin, The Source, Google, Samsung! WTF no solutions to this problem?

 

[Stash68]

I remember reading somewhere about this kind of issue but with another samsung phone, if i remember correctly changing the security on the router solved the problem.worth a go?

 

[jonmorris]

My wife has updated the firmware (which didn't clear the phone, although I backed it up for her anyway) and Wi-Fi seems to be working better.. as in, it's connected and hasn't dropped the connection after an hour.

Wow; she'd have been lucky to get a few seconds before.

I did read about a design fault and Wi-Fi that couldn't ever be fixed, but I am not sure that's true.. although I'll have to keep an eye on things over the coming days, and with other Wi-Fi routers (this is a D-Link at home).

 

[GALAXY 5 TRIC]

I had one of siemens router before. But my galaxy 5 connects to it but the browser, maps, gps dosent work. I replace the router to a linksys cisco wrt120n
but the problem stiil exists. Pls help me......................

 

[TheMaskedBrit]

I downloaded two great little apps from the market called KeepWifi and Wifi Fixer, its not dropped the connection and connects without any trouble for the last few days. There free to download.

Hope it helps, worth a shot...plus there a doddle to use.

dear themask .. if u believe me its not the router's problem but the problem of the device. samsung galaxy 5 has got very weak wifi antena because i compared it with samsung monte which recives the wifi signals very fast and connects too where as galaxy recieves very laow signal and takes hell of time to connect. blame should go to the Samsung who really cheated its customers.

Don't know if it's the phone or software problem, keep reading that many things on different forum. Only can wait for the froyo update to see if it's been rectified...if still got the phone.
