I have a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow and another device with a built-in 5.8Ghz WiFi which is used for transfering videos from it. When I connect to this WiFi it keeps telling me, that it has no internet connection and thus obviously disconnecting automatically to find a better one. How do I keep the connection?
Some things I already tried:
- set the freq to 5Ghz only
- delete all the other known Wifis
- manually add the wifi
Unless the connection is stable, I cannot connect to the device with its corresponding app. Are there any apps which could achieve that?
EDIT:
Logcat prints the following when the device disconnects:
12-23 20:29:09.368: D/IpReachabilityMonitor(777): clear: iface{wlan0/21}, v{4}, ntable=[]
12-23 20:29:09.377: I/wpa_supplicant(4270): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:e0:5d:91:1b:ec reason=3 locally_generated=1
12-23 20:29:09.381: D/WifiStateMachine(777): WifiStateMachine: Leaving Connected state
What I found out so far, is that this might be a kernel problem. However, I have not found any references to android in this case.
adb shell
removed the exclamation mark and I do not get any notifications about the missing internet connection anymore. However, the connection is still being dropped after a short period. It stays connected approx. 10 to 30 seconds and then disconnects. It reconnects, however the video transfer is interrupted. Any ideas?
