What exactly is the issue with wifi?

I've never had such a problem, I can leave wifi on, send the phone to sleep, wake it again and it reconnects just fine. Is it a router specific issue?

basically if u put it to sleep then let it be for a few inutes it will hit dip sleep and disconnect the wifi

The wifi thing is a pain in the ass. You have to turn off wifi then turn it back on again.

And sometimes when it's not dropped the connection completely it says it's still connected but isn't..

I thought the wifi issue disappeared with froyo? I was literally just about to change to froyo as was getting wound up by it - and had only started reading a few threads to decide which froyo to take.

The one thing that I found works best - was to use wifi keep alive and to change the setting mentioned above to turn off when screen sleeps (which is counter intuitive - credit to riaz on a post here)

Actually there are two wifi issues both dubbed "the wifi issue" that really confuses people

The original: Wifi will sleep and disconnect after a while of the phone sleeping (Regardless of settings)

The other: After the above wifi will sometimes not turn back on leading to either a manual "Off - On", the blade "Wifi Fix app" or a complete reboot

That's how it gets confusing.. People claim that they have "fixed" the wifi issue but mean number 2 which leads people trying to fix number one to jump through hoops for no reason

We really need to re-name wifi issue 2 :)

I always thought that the WiFi is supposed to disconnect when it is in sleep mode? To safe battery and stuff. The WiFi problem for me is that it just doesn't reconnect after wake up (and the app WiFI reconnect seems to work quite arbitrarily
