I think every since the JB update it won't work.... None of the secret #s work anymore on mine either.

change the sleep setting to what? always on? or never on? I have this same issue and when I enter the code *#0011# into my phone dialer, NOTHING happens. I need an alternative way of fixing this issue.wifi settings. advanced. change the sleep settings there and your done
I keep getting disconnects on my S3 as well. The asterk, pound 0011 pound then menu doesn't do anything. Samsung doesn't know what the issue is.I'm currently having the exact same problem. Also, whenever I connect to a new WiFi network, I have to do the same again. It's frustrating, especially considering I'm out and about and connecting to different hotspots regularly. I have now had 3 S3's, none of the previous two had this problem. (First was chipped when I opened the box, second kept vibrating constantly then crashing and either rebooting or turning itself off.)
just change the encryption of the wireless security`s router to automatic (tkip + aes) in wpa2-psk version and it will connect with no error.
i have come across this suggestion before but ignored it. While i was trying all the solution provided on this forum, i tried the above and i saw my wifi up just like before. Wonderful with all my experience on i.t, i need to do research on this.
Regards and thanks.
funny enough. i also noticed that i have ip conflict with other device using the same wifi. i changed the ip address on the device but discovered that my phone wifi only work for few hours and off itself and find it difficult to switch on.
can some with similar issue and solution please help?
This may or may not help, but it's always a good thing to check.
Get Wifi Analyzer, free, swipe to the page showing the signal graphs, and see if you are on the same channel as others nearby.
Ideally, you want to be on your own channel with a unique network name. If you and your neighbors are all using the same routers and defaults, you could be getting tangled up. That's all easily fixed in your router settings and often clears up a lot of trouble, as well as improving wifi throughout your house.

Hi All.
This fix might help some of you out there. I have been pulling my hair out with intermittent connections to Home Wi-Fi Network using smartphones. Was also having drop-outs on wired connections as well. We have 3 Samsung phones here SI-SII-SIII plus 7 other devices (PCs, Sat Boxes & Live Streaming Devices). It dawned on me that a possible cause of the problem was IP Address conflicts. So I went into my ROUTER which is a BT Voyage 2110 - Advanced Settings - Local Network - DHCP Server - Reserved IP Address List. I then entered the MAC Address and assigned an IP address for each device on the HOME Network. The MAC Addresses I got from a little Utility called MyLanViewer (you don't hv to use this one as there are similar utilities out there which will show you who or what is on the network). BTW most ROUTERS (if not all) will have the facility to do this.
End result for me here is that the problem has been solved. So hope this helps someone out there.
Saluti,

I dialed *#0011# pressed menu button (first picture) then selected WIFI and got to the next screen (second picture). I pressed the button so it says "Off". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
I am on the initial firmware 'xxxxxLE8
