Hey I was wondering if anyone else was having wifi connection issues with the xoom? Every time I use my xoom I have to keep retrying to load the market, webpages and everything else that uses data. Usually have to reload the market around 3-5 times to get it to work. I have tried 2 different routers and stilll the same thing. Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a way to fix it. Thanks
P.s. When Im on 3G everything is fine
I get it but only with Market, I assumed it was a market issue.
On. 3G, for me, everything is dog slow, but I never get the Retry box.

Mine works perfect with my AT&T U-Verse gateway and tethered to my AT&T captivate. No problems here at all with wifi. Do you have problems with other wifi routers? Go to Starbucks or a friends and see if the same issue occurs. If not, there is something with your router that Xoom does not like.
I'm having WiFi issues as well. I don't have any issues with any other laptops in my house ... but my Xoom ... get very poor signal on WiFi and sometimes doesn't get any connection at all. This is serious buzz kill.
Mine is also choking on wifi. Switch to 3g and no problems. Annoying.

Hardly surpisring when the antenna is surrounded by glass and plastic
Wifi is suspect on the Xoom. I cannot get a connection to my secure wireless at work but I can connect to the less secure guest wireless network. I also could not initially tether with my phone (TMobile Vibrant) but after I downloaded Mobile AP I was able to tether just fine and have not had any issues since then.
No complaints here to report. I'm pulling in on average a speed of 17mbps download on most days from my home wifi network. Quite the speedy little guy my Xoom is.
WiFi hasnt been a problem for me either.
So far, I've used it on 4 different wireless networks (G and N/G), using various security options and I connect to each without fail. Hell, Ive even seen the Xoom connect to WiFi when driving down the street towards places that I have it configured to see.
I did have some trouble at one point due to my DNS and DHCP servers being offline. I didnt suspect any issues with them, so I spent more time than I should have troubleshooting the Xoom.

Always Connecting...
Greetings All,
I have been having issues as well after the update. The wireless always disconnects and connects and doesn't stay connected. No problems with my Droid X or laptop or other device.
Problem is that now I'm getting very close to going over my data plan.
Is there a fix in the works, since it worked perfectly with 3.0
Annoyed...

UPDATE: Uninstalled the leaked Flash 10.2 and that has fixed the problem, somewhat. Still disconnects, but less.

Wireless issue fixed....
Greetings again,
Even after uninstalling flash, the problem persisted somewhat. I was getting very frustrated and so I reset the xoom to factory settings. A few notes on that. All applications were reinstalled, through the market which is good and bad.
So far, after 2 days of heavy wireless use, not a single drop in wifi connectivity.
Hope this helps...

So far my wireless is great. I use WP2 Secure at home, a WEP at my parents, and a MAC based approval network at work. All are steady with full bars and no issues.
SleeplessNinja
MyXoomChannel http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas
Its the encrypton protocol, WPA2 with AES will cause problems.
TKIP works.
I also have random issues. Some days its just fine, but other days wifi works and then stops working, usually a reboot fixes it.
Must be some wifi issue.
I have a fully factory stock xoom and have had NO wy fy problems at all! internet conection firm and stable. I intend not to root my zoom untill all the important updates are done and stable. I also am waiting for my 4G card install. I have WPA2 with AES and the xoom conected to it with NO problem
I haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever. I think it could be your router. My Xoom stays connected with my router and I haven't had a single problem so far with connected wifi.
My PS3 needs a router reset every single time I want to play Black Ops though.
ihad this issue. I think it may be hioneycomb and not xoom related because I experienced it on the acer iconia. The good news is that I resolved my connection issue with wifi. On the surface it looks like a dhcp handshake issue so, if you assign your xoom a static ip from your router, the issue goes away and all is good.
On my completely stock xoom, running the latest build, the wifi stops working after a time (not *sure* how long, but let's say an hour or two). After the wifi has stopped, the tablet will not locate any network (AP) nor will it detect them on the wifi analizer app, with shows all the networks in range and their channels and strengths. The app shows no network activity, which I know to be incorrect. However, after I reboot, all is well... until it fails again. When 8t fails, also, turni g the wifi off and back on again does not fix the wifi (that being a solution I found on other tablets running ICS... any ideas what this can be? Thanks in advance!

Man, if you are rooted, then I can help you better. With stock, it is very limited control that you have over your device. It is easy to root and install custom ROM that will fix most of your problems.
I was actually hoping for a solution that did not involve rooting
I was actually hoping for a solution that did not involve rooting the device. The tablet just came back from Motorola after being repaired for a defective screen. I was thinking that there may be a software problem in the build installed. If this is not a problem that is common on this device, then perhaps there may be a hardware problem, although it does not seem to act that way. . .
Can you do a factory reset?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, that was one of the first things I tried, as that is also the first thing customer support tells you to do. I honestly think that is the only tool they have to use.....
Perhaps its hardware related then. If you aren't rooted then send it back to Motorola.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or not but since I updated to ics UCLD2 and UCLE2 on both updates I seem to drop wifi connection every few minutes. Every few minutes I see a box come up that says connected to belkin. I know its actually dropping it because at times I will look up at the status bar and the wifi symbol that shows your connected won't be there then it will come back on and say connected to belkin. Its something in the phone because all the other devices on wifi in the house isn't having this problem. Anyone having or have had this problem? Any solutions? My wifi is set to never sleep and I've tried several wifi fix apps on the market and I've tried changing wifi channels still no luck..

It done it all the time on the previous leak ucld2. I thought the problem was fixed with this leak because it did fine for a couple of days it only done it a few times. But now its gets worse everyday. As long as I'm in the living room where the router is it only drops every now and then but in my bedroom away from the router it does it every few minutes....

The only thing I could suggest is flashing romracers radio he pulled from the leak. Flash it once, wait a minute, then flash it again and wait 30 seconds and reboot. It may help, it may not.
OK I don't why but I read somewhere that the skyrocket don't deal with wpa and psk security to good so I removed the security off my wifi connection and renamed it something other than belkin. I did this about oh 4 hours ago and I have not lost connection once which is great but now my wifi is wide open with no security. Guess Ill have to put my monitor on it that will let me know if more than 5 devices are connected....

Are you able to run security on your home wifi or do you just have it open? My wifi works better and faster than ever with not one disconnect as long as there is no security key to logon to the wifi. Its crazy I've never had this problem with any other device. And none of our other phones which include captivate infuse HTC status or our friends iPhone or laptops does it only my phone and only since the Android 4.0 upgrade. I flashed back to my nanadroid gingerbread backup earlier and it connected with no problems with the security on but soon as I flash back to ics is drops every few minutes until I turn the security off. So I tried the gingerbread modem with the ics and still the same drops every few minutes only with the security on. So I don't know I'm just leaving my security off and maybe when the official update comes out it will have a fix...

Im not actually at home, I am running on hotel wifi which is not secure. So I can't test that for you.
My SR has had near flawless wifi in multiple networks / security types, on 2.3.5 /6 GB and on UCLE2. The 1 exception is my home router, where it would make the secure connection, but the broadband DNS server seems to block its data connection. This affected Cappy also, resolved both with static settings. The only wifi adapters I've seen needing open settings either needed newer drivers, or were damaged ones needing replacement. One workaround for your 5 at home is a MAC filtering list.
As for wifi issues,
the only serious wifi issues I had was when using Facebook. It simply could not hold a connection. Browser, any other apps all seemed to work fine.

My wifi router is a belkin and I just recently purchased it a couple of months ago so do you think it could be bad? Also when I go to my mother in laws she has a AT&T 2 wire wireless router with security on it and my phone does it there to. None of our other phones does this and also since I posted yesterday a friend come over with a galaxy s2 not skyrocket and it connected as well with no problems. Our router is set to dynamic connection. We have DSL which is a PPOE but when I set the router to PPOE and put in the user name and password it just connecting and sticks there so I changed back to dynamic...

Given the other phones work well it seems like a fault in your phone, not the routers. One troubleshoot/workaround is to enter appropriate static IP settings as detailed in posts 1 & 7 here. That will either stabilize it or show you need to reimage the phone with full wipes to test further. You can screenshot most of the settings you need using the Ipconfig app by Mankind, during a good connection. Just take care to choose a static address outside of the router's assignable DHCP range, to avoid conflicts.
The same issue exists on the recently rolled out official ICS update for the Galaxy Note, I'm having this problem with stock radio and no root.

As long as I'm connected to an open wifi connection it works just fine but if I secure it it constantly disconnects. I'm starting to wonder if its a Samsung problem now because my wife's Samsung infuse on gingerbread is doing the same thing. And its not just my home wifi it does it at friends house with secure wifi and at mother in laws to with secure connection but never on any open connection. Um my daughters two HTC phones does not have this problem so I'm starting to think maybe its a Samsung problem. I don't think its an android problem cause both the gingerbread phone and my ics phone is doing the same thing. If it is android its something in gingerbread that carried over to ics

Had same problem
I had the same issue , went from 2.3.6 Gingerbread to the ICS UCLE2 leak and my wi-fi would turn on and off , so I just started from scratch went back to 2.3.4 via Odin , updated to 2.3.6 and flashed back to the UCLE2 leak via Odin and now it's working fine , I kinda figured it was a glitch in the software somewhere , from where I had changed rom's so many time's , and apparently it was , hope this was helpful.
Hi,
Starting to lose my patience with this device now. Such as shame that this lovely piece of hardware is strangled by poor software. I've already put the device on ebay and withdrawn it because its so slinky and I really want the issue to be sorted. I have no option but to go with the ipad mini at this rate, it just works!
Using odin I've successfully upgraded to ICS with P6800DXLP8_P6800OLBLP7_P6800DXLP7_HOME.tar and XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO My wifi keeps dropping out, ive tried it on three different routers etc and still the same issue. Tried CM10 and that reboots on me. Ideally i want a stock rom that works without any niggles on my Euro p6800. Any ideas, i'm really trying to make Android work for me, ive searched the forums like a good boy but no real answers anywhere.
:cyclops:
I can't help but thinking... if you are fed up with the Sammy device, why not switch to something that is completely open, like the Nexus 7, instead of a closed ecosystem like Apple's? Seems like there are other (better) choices out there than the iPad mini.
I'm sorry you're having troubles. Please feel free to give me your tablet. I could always use two!
Barring that, here is what I would suggest that has worked for me:
I have always had "advanced WiFi lock" from the play store, and it appears to have improved WiFi performance even when I had ICS.
I had locerra's cyanogen 10 ROM for a spell and really liked it. I then did some research in the development section and found Daniel HK's Paranoid Android ROM v. 2.55 and have enjoyed it even more. WiFi performance has been consistent and stable on both custom. roms.
Do some research and have a go at it.
If not, i can give you my address as I am currently living in Mexico and you can ship it to me!
I didn't experience any wifi issues at all until today. I'm staying with a friend for the week in Canada, and wifi k3ps dropping out. It seems that only a restart will solve the issue, and the network then falls out of range(even though I'm next door to the router). I'll give the app mentioned a try.... But any other thoughts please let us know! I'm on the leaked ics rom from Open Austria, rooted.
Update: "Advanced wifi lock" app has solved the issue, thanks! But we shouldn't really need to download the app.. Any ideas of how to solve such issues natively?

Correction, sadly the app didn't solve the issue.... Still having intermittent wife but HTC is connected constantly.

Ensure you don't have BOTH 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz enabled on your router at the same time.
Use one or the other.
After disabling 2.4 GHz band, and using 5 GHz only on my Billion router, my device (P6810) had no wifi drop-out issue. Same if I use only 2.4 Ghz band only.
Hope it helps.......
BTW, I would suggest LP8, such as my SkyHigh ROM, having "fixed" wifi issue for most........ But try the above first

Did you fix your issue in the end? I've tried changing settings on the Cisco Valet router to operate in just one wavelength but there is no such option... I guess it must be a old router. The wifi lock app didn't make much difference either unfortunately.

Thanks, The firmware on my mate's Cisco router was out of date, wifi connection much better but it still cuts out and appears to only reconnect if I restart. Even a "quick reboot" from within Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't reconnect. Annoying issue... It even cuts out midway through a skype call with my wife (but no issues on mates ipad or my htc) Also no issue with my wifi connection back in the uk. Very weird. Any further ideas appreciated!

Just wondering of the connection is secured? Does it cut out on open connection?
If secured, did you restore wifi settings with any particular app (ie. Titanium)? If so, you could try delete/forget wifi connection and manually enter the password instead
Or, delete/forget wifi connection in settings and restore with titanium backup. You usually have choice of "101" or "XML", try one then the other, reboot each time after restore.
Edit: if you have another device to set up a wifi hotspot, open and secured, and test?

It's a secure network, but i've tried forgetting the ssid and then reconnecting, but it makes no difference... Still patchy connection. I don't want to make the network open as it's my mate's network not mine.
I downloaded an app called "wifi manager" and it seems to be working 60% of the time, which is good enough for the moment. When I get back home to my own wifi network I expect no connection problems as it was working fine when I left last week probably the issues were due to my mates awful Cisco router and not the GTab!

I think it's the WiFi driver in the version of your ROM.
There is no reason you should be having to amend settings on a router because in most instances, you will not have access to a,ending the router.
I'm currently living in Mexico and I'm dependent on several WiFi access points around town and intermittent WiFi where I live. I can safely assume that the technology isn't the latest and greatest down here and I don't control any of those settings.
I am not experiencing the problems you are describing.
I think you're right, it is the wifi driver. I've just tried connecting to the open wifi network at Toronto airport, which connects fine on my htc, but i need to restart my GTab in order to connect to it. I'm running an official Samsung ics rom from the European carrier, Open Austria, (downloaded from samobile.com)... These issues only started when I left the UK and arrived in Canada. I'm wondering if the 3g roaming has some part to play in the error. Anyway.. I will try again when I get home, but anticipating issues.... How would I fix this? Do I have to reinstall the rom and all my apps?! (hope not, as I have this baby set up just perfect )

Ah, that says it all...
Check my comments about LP8 firmware mentioned in my first post here..... way down the bottom Was obviously missed. Posts after that, I assumed you had, since you didn't comment about it.
There is also a thread relating to the problem and the subsequentLP8 fix.
Either flash SkyHigh ROM (P6800 DXLP8) or official DXLP8.
Whether just flashing the kernel from DXLP8 firmware world do the trick, not sure, as I have a P6810. But as I said, flashing the firmware package helped most out with the "wifi bug"
Do you have root and custom recovery?

Is there anything wrong with this ROM or could anybody recommend a fix or alternate ROM?
Thanks and Regards..
Possible solution to WIFI problems?
I have had major problems with WIFI in my 7.7. The Austrian ICS has dropped connections, went totally berserk in some locations and stopped working unless rebooted.
I have now diagnosed (I believe) that the reason is the use of channel 12 in any WIFI router. If the router does not use 12 there seems to be no problems. At home I can configure my router not to use 12 and after that I have had no problems. There seems to be some kind of conflict or the Tab is faulty in that sense.
I do not know if this can be generalized, but at least for me it worked.
Yes I had the same problem with band number.... My friend's router that my tablet had an intermittent connection with, was on band 11. As soon as I got back home to my router in the uk (which uses band 6) My wifi connection problems disappeared.

Yes I Can say after doing alot of reading i realised its the chanel.
im using locked chanel 5 and seems much better..also wifi connection manager from play store.
still not the greatest and low signal even in same room to router but working i suppose.
Just funny how my S3 has a much stronger signal compared to the 6800 every wifi ive ever used.
Would be good if somehow the wifi drivers from S3 could be used somehow?
So I just bought one of these Gnotes and I had trouble with the wifi right away: always dropping on DHCP. Set it to static and it seems to be better but not what I would say great still seems to stutter at times. Is this some setting in Samsung's config file or a bad wifi card/adapter. Router is not the issue running Buffalo WZN-HP 300 with DD-WRT all other devices connect fine. Question is has anyone noticed wifi improvements when switching to CM or another custom ROM vs Samnsung Orig firmware?
OK, testing while tethered to my phone's hotspot, the drops ceased so it appears that they ARE related to my home network...damn
Well read some where setting wireless to just "n" helped and it appears it did. Will continue to test and report. I reflashed router w latest ddwrt and that didnt fix tho.

Well apparently a reflash of router firmware and a factory data reset have solved the problem for now...reset showed most improvement but I did it twice bc first time did nothing...go figure
