My Cisco Wireless Access Point WAP4410N logs the following error most of the time after I turn the tablet ON:
hostapd: ptk update fail
I have no idea what that means. It has been happening ever since I got the tablet 4 weeks ago.
This seems to happen at the time the tablet makes a WiFi connection after power up. Does not happen when the tablet comes out of sleep.

Hi,
I have a laptop, TV and iPod touch connected to my router via Wi-Fi, and a desktop via LAN. It's always been completely stable, rock solid. 2 weeks ago I bought a Sony Xperia T to replace the iPod, and since then the router has been freezing up every 15-30 mins, cutting off every device connected to it and not responding to any attempts to log in to it. The lights on the router don't indicate any problem and if I leave it alone it will unfreeze itself within a couple of minutes.
If I turn off the Xperia's Wi-Fi, the network goes back to being completely stable again all day. Turn the Xperia's Wi-Fi on and the router will freeze within 5 minutes and then again every 15-30 mins.
Google search tells me this is actually a fairly common problem with android devices but nobody seems to have any solution. I've upgraded my router's firmware, tried assigning my phone a static IP address, told the router to use g mode only, tried a range of different Wi-Fi channels, none of this had helped.
The problem happened on ICS as well as the recent Jelly Bean update.
Does anyone have any idea what my phone might be doing to screw up my router so much?
Thanks.
Hi!
I have some problems with WIFI on my tablet, it disconnects randomly from my WIFI network quite often, at home this isn't too much of a problem as the device reconnects itself in a few, but then I traveling with trains, the device disconnects as soon as I stop browsing the web for a few minutes, and then fails to reconnect itself, turning WIFI on and off makes the device able to connect again but only for a few minutes, then the problem reappear.
I have already tried to disable powersaving mode, set WIFI to never sleep in WIFI options and turning off WIFI optimization too. Neither of these fixed my problems., factory reset didn't help me either, as this happens on trains too, I can't change the router settings either, is there anything else I can try???
I also send my device into Asus repair serviceservice 2 times, first time they did troubleshoot my battery charging (which was working flawless and I asked them to troubleshoot my WIFI not battery), second time they was troubleshooting my WIFI error, but screwed up the battery.
Third time they replaced the motherboard and after all this I'm still stuck with my broken WIFI.
Please help me
Tab 2 rooted w/cwm CM11 since forever see IMG.
Wifi goes out, have to toggle off/on then it stays on for a while again. Sometimes its on for 30 to 45 mins and sometimes it cuts out after 10 mins.
Could wifi doohicky be worn out?
No battery saver app running, just greenify. Tab has minimal apps running and 2 games, have not added apps for over a year.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thinking about reflashing rom, maybe it got stale, it's been about 2yrs since last flash.

Solved/ :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
My issue was not the tablet or OS/firmware, the problem was my WiFi router.
Running a netgear N600 DB WiFi router with multiple devices connected via Ethernet cable and WiFi signal throughout the house, all other devices worked properly with no issues whatsoever when it came to internet access.
Yet tablet kept disconnecting or loosing signal and would have to toggle WiFi off/on to get it started again. Never suspected router because all other devices worked properly with no signal strength loss or degradation.
After monkeying around with tab with no solution I decided to restart router, had nothing to lose, whatever, and as soon as I restarted router issue was gone, turn on WiFi and it stays on until I turn it off, even if tablet is idle for days, I wake it and WiFi connects immediately.
Now the router was having some signal issue with just the tab and nothing else,I also have two other devices connected that are similar in age and technology to this tab and these showed no signal issues whatsoever.
So the moral of the story is, don't discount your router just because everything else is working properly with the router and network.
Now my tab has to see a therapist because I called it "a piece of $#it" and it wasn't even the tabs fault.

This is my second phone to have this problem. First was my old S4, now my S7 has the same problem. Basically, I want to watch YouTube or Netflix on my phone over Wi-Fi, and I want to listen to it on a bluetooth headset. But after a few minutes of watching/listening, my Wi-Fi connection always dies, I get that little exclamation point next to the Wi-Fi symbol in my notification panel, and the only way to fix it is to turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on. It'll work for another couple minutes, then die again and need to be reset. Bluetooth stays connected the whole time and never drops. It's just the Wi-Fi that gets dropped. If I turn Bluetooth off and just listen via phone speaker or wired headphones, no problem, Wi-Fi can cruise all day.
The research I've done suggested that 2.4GHz might be causing a problem, but my network is 5GHz. Another suggestion was to switch the phone to a static IP address, that didn't help. I'd also read that Android has problems with IPv6, so I went to disable that in my router and discovered that it's never been on.
So, I found three solutions on my own, and none of them worked. Now it's time to reach out to the brain trust here. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? Vanilla S7, no root or ROMs. Thanks!

Have you tried the usual first step in troubleshooting, have you tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition?
You can also try flashing the stock firmware for your model number via Odin.

Hey there,
if anyone could help me with some serious stuff, which is going on in my network after I found out that my ex installed anythin like Efi in common with SMC on my imac and my macbook, to have connection to my Network at home from anywhere he is,... however. I am not really fit in such deep IT grounds to understand these things which are happening at my home.
For example there's anytime a device called TVbluetooth in my bluetooth devices at my imac and no matter how often I delete it,..... few minutes later it appears again. I can remember that anytime in former I also so such a device called TVbluetooth at his home network. I don't know but my mobile doesn't list this if I scan my bluetooth sourroundings with it. It also appears if my television is switched off. The icon of this device in the List at my imac is a Loudspeaker icon, but for example my tablet, which has also this device in the bluetoooth settings, shows the icon of a mobile.
For a couple of days I was not able to deactivate my bluetooth anyway on my imac. then I did the shortcut to see the deeper settings of my bluetooth settings, where also debug is visible and as I deleted every bluetooth device with this menue, I had been able to deactivate bluetooth again.
but the ****ing TVbluetooth device appears again and again, no matter how often i delete it.
I ordered a new browser a few days ago as my old one is broken but I do not install the new one before I renew every device, which had been connected to my network before, to avoid having the same Problem again in the end. I never had been connected to my imac with my samsung galaxy mobile before, not even with my network because I already was afraid of these things and some more i don't want to tell you about, so how could it be that I opened the first time ever a hotspot with my mobile for my imac to have internet, and before I could see which password i have to insert, I was connected. Allthough there is shown a lock for WPS Protection as at any other locked Wlan Networks shown in the sourroundings.
???????????
Another day a friend of mine gave me his hotspot, where I connected with the password shown at his device, everythin normal, but as he left I had been connected with the internet about half an hour until i disconnected manually??? I called him to ask if he stayed for such a long time in his car in front of my door or something like that but he sayed no, I went straight away after I've left?????????
Does anyone know what happens??
P.S.: my ex knows a lot about PC, Mac, Linux, unix, parallels, virtual machines (this I also had suddendly at my imac 1 year ago)
thanks for your help
Regards
Victim
