Wifi suddenly stopped working
Yesterday, after owning my Bionic more than a month, the wifi stopped working. Connected, ip address, but no throughput. I updated to 5.7.893, but that didn't change anything. If I forget then re-add the AP everything works for about 60 seconds, but you can watch the connection degrade very quickly. All of my other wifi devices work flawlessly, including my original Droid (with CM 7) and my Asus Transformer. I tried resetting the router (factory reset) anyway, but no luck.
I ran a shell session to poke around to see if I could narrow it down to DNS or something else, and I couldn't really find anything. Look at this output from a ping of my router, and notice that there are missing packets all over the place:
Code:
shell@cdma_targa:/$ ping -c 20 192.168.1.1
ping -c 20 192.168.1.1

And then this output pinging another computer on my network:
Code:

Then this output from an nslookup that takes 11seconds to return for Google...

I had this same problem with my original Droid until I installed Cyanogenmod. Is this just an ongoing issue with Android? I have seen lots of people talking about variations of the same issue with different phones, especially when I was trying to resolve this on my old Droid.
