Running TnT Lite 3.0.
I have had NO (fingers crossed) issues since my very first update of 2.0. However, I had to replace a router and did so with a new 802.11N device. I can connect to it fine - but cannot see the "N" network. I looked through the posts and do not see anything specific ( for the G Tab - tons for other devices ) - is this a known issue that I am just not find the posts on?
Like I said - that is the only issue I have had.
TIA!

Clarification
Not seeing the "N" network: I cannot see the SSID and I do have it configured properly, unfortunately the G Tab is currently my only N Capable device to test with.

unless you can assign a separate SSID for each protocol type (b/g/n) on your router, you will not "see the 'N' network"
most routers should allow you to select the protocol (e.g., b/g/n, b/g only, n only) so if all your wireless gadgets are n capable, then you can configure your router to n only
note that the gTablet only has a 2.4 Ghz wifi radio
Separate SSID
Correct - My Netgear Router does let me have a specific SSID for the N network.
Might need to look in the the frequency though.
Ugh:
Thanks for the reply - I obviously can't read or pay attention (on vacation). I can set a different SSID by frequency - not network.

as the gTablet is the only n capable device you have, you can shut down the 5.0 Ghz radio on your router...

eh... 802.11n != 5GHz. 11n is a protocol with implementations in 2.4Ghz and 5GHz. but what your equipment provides is something else again.
So it cannot use 5GHz?

Correct. 2.4Ghz only. And in North America should only be using one of the first 11 channels. Your maximum link speed will be around 72Mbps. Use software like wifi wraith or wifi analyzer to graph spectrum noise caused by other wifi devices near your location then pick the quietest channel for your network.
Is there a way to tell if the gtab is using 802.11n? Maybe properties or an app???
I installed Android Status (free from the Market). Once installed, if you press wifi, it will give you more details. If the type is greater than 56 (usually 65 or 72, which is the max for a single wireless N radio), then you're connected using wireless N.
Btw - I purchased a Linksys E4200 this morning. The gtab browser is loading pages sooooo much faster now.
I'm using a Netgear WNDR3700 and am doing some testing. It's 65 and the apps rocks, it has some nice functions. Thanks
on the netgear look for an option to enable N(may call it 130Mbps or 270 Mbps) on 2.4GHz

Thanks, it set to 300Mbps right now... I didn't know the the MHz band isn't used until talking to someone about it. I have to admit that I am not overly impressed by the WNDR3700.

One thing I noticed is that Android Status show the processor is an ARM 7 which is wrong, but I'm sure it's the app itself?
Pretty sure that's correct. Quadrant shows the same (ARM 7). Chances are neither have been updated to account for the Tegra II.
Tegra2 is cortex a9 processor. The cortex a9 is based off of arm7 architecture.
I have a Wifi Only Xoom and for the most part, it works great. Especially with the new ICS update. However, when i come into work, i am unable to get more than 400 kb/s on download speeds. If i turn my data off and my wifi on using my Droid Bionic, i can meet or beat 15 mb/s down so i know its not the work network. This started happening before the OTA ICS update but even with the update, it still happens. Since the update, i have done a factory reset of my device but still cannot get anything for download speeds. Iv talked with our network team at work and they said that they dont throttle anything on the particular wifi network im connected to so that isnt it either..
almost 100 views and no responses, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Sorry for the non-answer, but if you're going to complain about people viewing and not replying, then maybe should have used a better title for your topic other than "Xoom Network Issue."

what do you get at home or somewhere else?
you try forgetting the network?
turn off bluetooth and try once
You're on a shared network at work, there are multiple factors that would limit your speed.
Number of users on that access point / WLAN
Bandwidth limitations for WLAN users
Proximity to AP
Other WLANs broadcasting on the same frequency
And more...
My first suggestion would be to sniff the air with Wifi Analyzer by Farproc and see if you're connected to the best AP on the work network.
Still no luck..
After reading some replies, here are my troubleshooting notes in response to your ideas (sorry for the novel):
I have completely reset it to factory defaults so iv actually done more than forgetting the network. Bluetooth has been off since it was wiped.
We have so many APs around the building that i could throw a rock and hit one no matter where im standing in the building and signal has never been an issue. I did get Wifi Analyzer but none that it picked up were that bad in signal. On the same note, i walked around the building doing random tests in several locations, none yielded any better speeds. One more reason that i dont believe this is the issue is that when i do theses tests, download speeds stink, but upload does very well. So that tells me that signal strength is a non-issue and as stated earlier, there are no limitations on this WLAN.
I can test other devices side by side at the same time and they test great while my xoom falls on its face. so I am absolutely positive that the problem doesn't lie with the work network. every other tablet, smartphone, laptop user can get excellent speeds (in the same location as my xoom), except my Xoom.
At this point i am at a loss.. any additional help is greatly appreciated!
YES! I'm not crazy. I bet you have cisco access points.
I posted about this on another thread. It appears that ICS and that particular access point has a major bug. I have one at home. I posted on motorola here

I was just curious if anyone else is having (or heard of) an issue like this? I have tried on three different wireless N networks, and it will not see them. I have tried manually adding them as well and it always says out of range. It is almost as if the N radio isnt working. I can connect to b/g networks fine. I also know that the wireless N networks are functioning properly as I can connect other devices to them. Do I need to enable the N radio in the tablet somehow? I havent seen any threads about this, so I am guessing that its just me.
The router has to be on 2.4/5Ghz mixed mode, Unfortunately the infinity can't se 5GHz networks. Yes I agree its dumb that a $500-600 device can't use 5GHz

got ya, and yeah that does suck. the main router I use is a dual mode asus rt-n66u, so it has the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks separated. pretty disappointing that it cant use 5ghz. oh well, thanks for the info.

usually you can set which bands and specs will be used. you can still connect your infinity via n as long as you have your router configured with 2.4ghz and n. most dual mode routers will allow this.

yeah its connected N on 2.4ghz. I had a brain fart and meant 5ghz when I stated that I couldnt see the N network. thanks again.
I know we cant use 5ghz but why? Would it be a software issue or a hardware issue.

I'm on a N network so this is not true.
I only broadcast my home wireless network in N for highest wireless performance. All of my somewhat aged wifi devices that include a 2006 Dell XPS notebook with DraftN, a Nintendo DSi, Blackberry Playbook, and of course the Infinity all connect to a 802.11n hotspot I broadcast with two Belkin N150s. Even the Transformer Prime connected to the N.
The only wifi device I own that does not connect to N is my HTC Evo 4G phone. It sees it but fails to connect.
OP if I were you I'd recheck your wireless router settings, maybe you have MAC filtering enabled.

My phone keeps dropping wifi and then reconnecting on my home WiFi network... I have heard there has been issues and that the network has to be configured the proper way... Does anyone know the exact settings that it should be configured? Thanks for the help!!!

I don't know of a specific configuration which solves all issues and Verizon told me that Samsung was planning a "second" update in October timeframe the addressed WiFi connection issues when I called in July about this.
That said, my WiFi connections have been far more solid since then for no apparent reason, so perhaps there was temporary interference at the time - I did adjust my router to use the (2.4GHz b/g/n) frequency up to 130Mbps for the channel (6) used by my Galaxy S III, instead of the (5GHz a/n) frequency that is configured for up to 300Mbps, but am not sure if that made a difference.

Thanks! Its weird because my wifi at work connects just fine but at home it goes in and out every 30 seconds to a minute...It must be the router configuration...im gonna try and mess with the settings when i get home
It's a problem with your home router or main modem. Verify that the ip on your router and modem match, if not sync them. That's the most common problem. Also, reset your main modem, have your provider ping and update it. This happens to me time to time, mainly with netgear products.
As mentioned above, use the 2x not the 5x band if you have a dual band router.
Also, some cable Internet connections can get fuzzy if they are using old co-ax wires in your house.

You know I was having the same issue. After owning the s3 for 5 days now, after the 3rd day I started to experience wifi issues. I would be connected to my wifi but no Internet connection af all. So I messed with the channels on my Netgear dual band router. I switched channels from 1 back to 6. Still nothing. Finally I reset my main modem(att) and also reset my router back to factory settings and still nothing. My wifi has been working fine with no hicups until I got the s3 and my wife has the rezound with no problems what so ever. Until yesterday, what I did notice was my whole Internet connection went down. Now I don't know if it's att or me. Well, it's back up right now but what I did do was call Verizon and they had me take out the sim card and reboot the phone while they did some things on there end. After they came back from hold I rebooted my phone and since then I have had not 1 wifi drop at all. They told me if I have anymore problems, that I go to the nearest Verizon store and get a new sim card. But I really don't know how that would help out at all since the wifi is built into the phone. Those techs are funny. But ever since that rebooted and removing the sim and also having Verizon do some things on there end. It's been perfect and no drops at all.
Ohh and also I did do the *#0011# wifi sleep mode trick to off. Didn't work for me also. But what was weird when I did that trick my phones screen wouldn't go to sleep. It would stay on until I hit the power button to make it go to sleep.

I've noticed whenever I connect to a 5Ghz network, it's complete garbage. At my house, when I connect to 2.4 Ghz I get a consistent speed of around 75mbps, when I switch to 5 Ghz, I can't get more than 20 consistent. Sometimes it works super quick for a second, and then anything I try to do, web surfing, videos, downloading apps etc.... just suddenly stop as if I have no connection and never start again.
No issues here with 5ghz - can only suggest resetting router and phone, otherwise perhaps you have a faulty handset.
Also no problems here. I find the range off the antennas great.
Did several speedtests and no drop outs.
Just got mine and AC 5ghz works great. Getting 235/23 mbs on my home internet.
I have the same issue. Inconsistent connection and slow speeds on 5ghz, only way to fix is a router restart, but then if i turn off WiFi and re-enable, the problem returns. Possible IP issue?
When I received the phone 2.4ghz was fine (110/110) but 5ghz was not (550/3).
I had to go to setting > WiFi > Advanced (in the "..." menu near the gear on the upper right corner) and uncheck Wi-Fi optimization.
Then I got 550/250mbps
Not sure if it's relevant to your problem, but you could try that.
Good point. Seem to remember something similar on the 10 too. Thanks!
You're welcome Hope it will solve your issue.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Got a replacement handset yesterday, just to be sure that it wasn't the phone, same problem happens?!
I use a Linksys router, if the op is still on the thread, what about you? Have no issues on other 5ghz networks. Well, the other 2 that I've connected to.

Thanks, i'll give that a try. I've never had this issue with any other phone, it's very odd and actually frustrating. While I can fix it at home, I wont be able to modify router settings when out and about, so if I struggle to get WiFi on the move, i'll be paying a fortune for data, which may force me to return the phone.
Just tested mine with Virgin Media router and WiFi optimisation turned on. Maxed out at 220Mbps

I'm noticing issues on a Linksys router as well. My wife's old M8 had an issue that would go away when Bluetooth was turned off.
I messed with settings tonight and it seems more stable. I just made 2.4 and 5 on SSID, and changed all band settings to Auto.

If its happening on other connected devices on your wireless network either 2.4 or 5Ghz try changing Router channels.
I've seen this happen on 2.4Ghz. Turns out since I lived in a pretty Wifi congested area the channel my router kept picking as "The best" was actually 6 and all the routers default to that channel. Literally that frequency was so bugged down my internet went from hitting 60-80Mbps down to Kbps. Wifi Analyzer showed all 12 channels were pretty full. I switched to 5Ghz only and immediately saw a difference, but the few channels I do have on my router are getting congested nowadays too.
Nowadays whenever my phones Wifi speeds hit the floor I do speedtest on other wifi devices and Ethernet speeds. If theres a significant difference I quickly use Wifi Analyzer to see if its time to switch channels.
when i got my htc u11 unlocked i had problems with the wifi not connecting at all or if it did it would disconnect. i found that there was a software update so i downloaded it on my mobile data. once installed everything started working correctly. mine will connect at 866mhz to my dlink-879 ACN router
The ivp6 thing or whatever is what I did when I got the m9, it wouldn't connect to my wifi at first and it was 5ghz

I forgot about that option. Had issues with my 10 when it came out a d that fixed it, so far it's working on my 11.
Still having issues with this. Tried above suggestions, not specified a channel, currently set to auto. My M9 and 10 have no issues holding a fast connection. Getting a bored of it now, as trying to stream Le Mans and it constantly cuts signal.
