A bug in ICS? After official upgrade

My mobile's wifi is turned on & is connected to my modem & the internet connection is working perfectly fine, but the phone is unable to use wifi for more than a minute.

Everytime i turn off the wifi & turn on again, it works, like for a minute & gone. Signal strength is full. Though the upload, download arrows beside wifi icon in the notification shows me that only there's upload action but no download action.

I have done a settings reset as well, but the problem persists.

Is anybody sailing in my boat as well? (My SI No. 1261-6397, Location: Hyderabad, India)

sorry bud i was eating my tea. to get to the routers set up page on a windows pc. control panel then network and internet then view computers and devices you should then see your router, right click and then click view device webpage, from there you can change router settings. hope this helps. if you need any other info just message me.

what if you go to

wifi > long press on your router > modify network > show advanced options > check your proxy settings

Yes, Keep wifi on : Always

It was default, i did not change anything.

But still my wifi is inconsistent. Am unable to browse at all, may be after wifi turning on, it works for 5 secs & after that it's numb (with full signal strength & internet working)

have you repaired your phone with SUS?

repair it > do not install any app > uninstall mcafee > test your wifi

No i did not repair it. Infact I've just upgraded to ICS (Officially, not flashed)

It was all fine when there was GB in it, an hour ago. So i can vouch there's no problem with the router/wifi connection
