Help WIFI Stops Working

Anyone else having wifi stability issues. Mine connects to wifi with no problems and them works for an hour or so. Then, it tell me there is no data access. It tells me I'm still connected, but nothing that accesses data works. Some apps even report that data isn't available. If I turn the wifi off and back on it works fine again. This has happened to me on multiple wifi access points and it's beginning to get annoying. Is this a bum phone or a common problem?
 
Happens to me as well. The reception I get is terrible and it kill my battery because when I lose wifi it switches to 4g then back to wifi and so on and so on. It also does it with my 4g connection too. I am connected with a halfway decent signal strength then no connection at all I have to go to airplane mode 3 or 4 times then it will finally reconnect.
 
Yeah, it must be related to all the other "weak signal" issues out there. As long as I am in the same room with my wifi router, I'm good. Once I leave the room it starts acting all flaky. It will think it's connected but isn't. Switch it to airplane mode and it comes back.
 
i've had my wifi at full connection strength but the symbol will be grey instead of blue, and will give me no connection issues. its really starting to get annoying.
 
Yeah it's getting very annoying having to toggle the wifi to be able to use data. I'm considering going to ask for an exchange today. It might not help but it seems like only a few people are having the problem so it may just be select phones.
 
Add another to the list. My wifi is terrible on this phone. Coming off of the Incredible, it's like night and day. First world problem: I used to be able to surf the web from the men's bathroom on my Incredible, but now I get no wifi signal on the gnex. :(

Funny you say that because I'm having the same problem at work. My Incredible had 1 bar of wifi reception in the men's bathroom at work including at my desk. The signal doesn't even register with the Gnex. I got it to pop up once so it is finding it but it can't lock.

4G also doesn't work by my desk but my co-worker 3 cubicles down from me has a thunderbolt and gets 4G. When I brought my Gnex around the area it found a faint 4G but never turned blue. Went quickly back to a few bars of 3G.

Oh well, it works fine at home but I'm hoping that a future update improves the 4G and wifi signal lock.
