after updating my Samsung Galaxy Ace with Android 2.3.6, i noticed that WiFi disconnects every 3 minutes..i.e. if you are downloading any file or game data it will stop downloading after every 3 minutes and you have to restart the download.
this problem didn't happen before, so it is clear that there is a bug in the new firmware.
Here is the solution that worked perfectly with me:
the problem lies in the DHCP settings of the ADSL router.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.......
1) Login ur router and go to DHCP settings (for belkin its 192.168.2.1) and find the item called
" leasing time ".
The default values of the "leasing time " is usually "Forever" and this is the bug with Android
2) All you have to do is to change the value of the "Leasing time " from "forever" to any other long value (depends on the routers options).
Here i changed the value from "forever" to " 2 weeks " and since then i didn't have any single WIFI disconnect.
