Is everyone having issues or is it just a few. I'm going to exchange mine tomorrow due to wifi issues. Will it be a lost cause to try and find one that will work out of the box or are some working and stable?
Mine works A-OK but I've heard some horror stories here, as well as on IRC.
Viewsonic is releasing an OTA update on Monday and allegedly WiFi is more stable. Allegedly.
Mine has been working fine. I traveled out-of-state with it earlier this week and it worked in the hotel, at the client site, and tethered to my Evo's Sprint Hotspot. I took it to a friend's tonight and it worked just fine there as well (even in his front yard).
mine is ok. on tnt it goes out all the time and i get errors, especially after it goes to sleep by itself. on zpad it seems better but i haven't really tested that rom out much.
On my second one. First one had wifi DOA. Second one is working but the range capability seems to be very poor, plus although it sees and recognized my PEAP AP at work it wouldn't allow me to connect, as it just took me to the security tab and gave up with no helpful options. If the wifi doesn't get better I'll probably give up for a while.
Mine actually worked pretty well. I encountered the disconnect after every stand by, but if i just left it for a minute or so it connected just fine. Now with cm6b3 it works 100%
On a stock, rooted g-tablet, mine has always worked fine. I haven't used it outside of my home, though.
Returned mine today due to the WiFi issue. The closest replacement is 50 miles away. I think I'm going to wait and see how the updates work out before I pick up another one. May wait to see if i can get a refurb on Sears outlet. It is too bad, I really liked the thing.

It would be hard to get an OTA update if you can't get the wifi to connect....
The only Wi-Fi problem I am having is the disconnect even though in Settings I have it set to never power off the Wi-Fi.
It disconnects even if my G Tablet does not go to sleep. In other words it disconnects even with the screen up at all times.
It appears to disconnect when there is no Wi-Fi activity for a few minutes, such as reading a long web page or putting the tablet down for a while.
First attempt to communicate over Wi-Fi results in an error message but then the Wi-Fi connection goes back up and all is OK until the next time.
I mentioned this to Viewsonic Support and they suggested I get the tablet replaced. Somehow I don't think this is a hardware problem though.
My first one had almost no range. I could be standing right on top of the router and have 1 bar, my phone (droid1) would have full signal. Sitting at my desk I only saw my router while my phone would see all the neighbors. I exchanged it that same day. The new one mimicked my phone, same signal strength, saw all the same networks. So it seems like the wifi radio's in these things are very hit/miss.

No issues with the wifi. I added the latest tnt lite 2.2.0 and I had
no issues. Right now I'm still trying different android apps.
I am still learning how to type on the tablet. ...
WiFi great
My stock gTablet worked very well on the 'net from the outset. It took me less than 5 minutes to get on; the hardest thing was to find the WEP key I had misplaced. I have coverage all over the 1-story house and front and back yards.

Mine works perfectly. I've had no Wi-Fi issues at all.
No wifi
mine can not scan for wifi keeps telling me unable to scan for networks. Going to call support see if there is a work around, hoping by updating may correct problem.

Irony alert! Watch out for people who have had great wifi to switch places with the folks currently having bad wifi. That is how this stuff sometimes works.... displacement!
So since I have had good wifi, maybe should not joke....
Inconsistent
Mine used to (returned it) disconnect randomly, whether I was in the middle of something or not. Very frustrating having to wait a moment (~30-60 sec) for it to reconnect before I could resume.
Plus the fact that it didn't have the option to connect to my WLAN without SSID broadcasting is inexcusable.

WiFi works as good for me as it did on the Augen GT. Not great range, but I still get signal at a distance that I'd normally be outside and away from the WiFi AP... even had it re-connect to WiFi as expected when I accidentally let it go to sleep once w/stock fw. never tried this again since moving to TnTL custom fw...
My WPDN OTOH was a POS at this range and would randomly disconnect and reconnect along with pathetically slow transfer speeds...
So the wife and I have each had a Xoom FE since late October, last night my Xoom began having issues staying connected to wifi. I thought it might be an issue with our alarm system, that afternoon a wireless alarm monitor was added so we could do away with our home phone. The wife brought her Xoom into the bedroom and hers works fine, so I moved into the pc room to test it and with direct line of sight and full signal I still can't stay connected. I turned on the mobile hotspot on my phone and connected to it on my Xoom and surfed the web just fine.
I've always had issues with both of them initially connecting upon waking from sleep, but simply turning wifi off/on fixes it and it stays connected until the next time it sleeps for any amount of time more than 30 minutes. This was different, it would connect, start to load a page, lag lag lag, load a little more, lag lag lag, load a little more, maybe load entirely or give an error about connectivity. Again, wifes sitting right next to me in the same room, same network works fine.
I don't believe it's an issue with my Xoom, I haven't rooted or installed any new updates or programs. It was working fine one night and then the next night it's having connectivity issues. My wifes works fine on the same network with the same settings. My Xoom will connect to my cell phones mobile hotspot. I will try my Xoom at another location soon to see how it likes other wireless networks but as it will connect to my phones I don't think it will be a problem elsewhere.
Cliff notes: My Xoom doesn't want to play with my wireless router anymore but my wifes still works.
And last night it was back to working fine. I shut it off for the night after having the issues and re-started it last night around 8pm and it worked like it always has, so I don't know what was causing the issues but it seems to have fixed itself.
I had a similar issue with my rooted Xoom on the latest Tiamat GB release. I tries reflashing and few times with the same issues. I've now upgraded to the ICS beta roms and not only is the WiFi working, but its better then ever with much better reception. I wish I knew what the original issue was though.
mine was doing that the other night, but only when i had the charger plugged in.
worked fine every time i unplugged it...
All I did was go to the android market and found a actual wifi widget and always had it turned on. It works flawlessly. Hope that works if nothing else.

Sometimes these things happen, if it's working fine now I wouldn't think anything of it. These are just like computers, they need to be restarted every now and then. I wish my Xoom FE would work. I can't get my wifi to work for crap no matter what I do.
After running this a few days, I'm really not happy with whatever changes Samsung has made. Not only have the NOT resolved the now infamous "SOD" issue, but they've created new problems (at least for me) with wifi.
I usually keep my wifi "sleep policy" set to "never when plugged in." For every device I've owned, this would keep the wifi turned on and connected if my device was power on (display on) or the device was plugged into AC power. I've never had any problems with it.
With this latest firmware update, however, it keeps dropping the wifi connection while the device is turned on (screen on.) I'm sitting literally 20 feet from the AP, and there are 4 signals for the device to choose from (2 2.4GHz channels and 2 5GHz channels.) However, for some reason, it decides it just doesn't want to be connected to ANY of them. The wifi radio is still enabled, but it won't connect (or even see) any AP.
Samsung: I don't know what you THINK you may have fixed with this latest firmware update, but you not only failed to correct the most prominent issues people are having, but you've already created at least one new one.
I'm going back to KL1...

I got the notification of the new firmware update and was looking for what this update about. Thanks for posting here... I am now holding on the update...
I am also going to hold off on the update. Thanks Gary for all your do.

mine stops checking for update.. cannot get the "Update" stuff to work.. probably a good thing for now..
My Wifi works fine with LA3...
I'm a happy camper
My WiFi is also working fine with LA3. I was actually having a minor issue with the last firmware where the WiFi would occasionally not follow the WiFi sleep policy I had chosen. I had it set to never sleep but every once in awhile (very randomly) when I brought the tab out of sleep, I found that the WiFi had also gone to sleep. I have had LA3 on my tab for 2 days now and so far so good. It has adhered to the WiFi sleep policy I have set but 2 days is not a good indication that the issue I had been experiencing with the last firmware has been corrected in LA3. I am going to give it a few weeks before I say one way or the other if the issue still exists or not. But as I said, so far so good for me.

Oddly enough, I'm not experiencing that. Never when plugged in works correctly for me. It also manages to turn off the wifi when the screen is off while I'm on battery, which is an improvement over the previous firmware. I did experience two SODs in the two days after upgrading, but they have since stopped. (I'm not using Auto Airplane Mode anymore, so I'm quite pleased with that.) Are you now experiencing the SOD with the new firmware, because if I remember correctly, you weren't experiencing it on your tab with the previous firmware. Also, I'm wondering if whatever was keeping your tab from experiencing the SOD with the last firmware is causing your issues with this one. Nevertheless, I'm sorry you're experiencing issues. If there's anything I can do to help, pulling logs or testing, I'm more than willing. Good Luck
@garyd9 Could you send me a link to the firmware of KL1? I'm having problems with LA3 and root and busybox. I'm trying to revert it back and try again but couldn't find the link of firmware. Thank you!
Hello, Well I have arrived yesterday and goes all phenomenal Wireless least that I disconnected and reconnected ... it is because I get the Message informing me. Even being in the same room of the router's Up, my girlfriend has a hannspad hannspree tablet under 200 euros and she did not it ever occur to desconectarséle the wifi. Screenshot I leave about the operating system that leads, I would appreciate any possible solution if I'm not returning it because amazon is a shame that it fails because the tablet is death. Any rom that fixes the problem?. Thank you.

I have same problem. when i comeback after work wifi disconecting.... i have to reconnect manualy wifi and then it working ok.... This problem I see when tablet is in sleep mode during a few hours....
It could be a DHCP issue. If possible try to assign the Note a static IP address on the router. Not all Wi-Fi radios work equally well with all Wi-Fi routers. For example, the i9100 had a particular dislike for D-Link routers. I travel a lot and haven't had any issues with the Note connecting, staying connected, and re-connecting in any of the hotels or airports I've used it in.

When I first received my 10.1 Note, my wifi didn;t work and I almost returned it as a result. I reset it to factory and magically it started to work. I suggest you do this also.
Ever since then it has been flawless.
I also had this problem out the box on day one with my wifi connection at home. All I did was turn off with the toggle, unplugged my router from the power source, waited one minute, flipped toggle to "On" again and boom - problem solved, has dropped a connection since.
Hope this helps.
Try disable wmm in your router. it fixed mine.

Had the same problem with mine - constant wifi disconnects. Got it switched over and the new one has been working happily all day without a single drop :good:
If you have the problems described in this thread don't delay, get it swapped out asap.
Wifi problem. Crazing.

Endless, it sucks!
Go to WiFi in setting/ advanced setting and make sure keep WiFi on during sleep always on.

WiFi problem DIR855
I have the same problem that the Note 10.1 connects to my WiFi network but no data is passed through.
I did a factory reset and then it started to work as it should but after a couple of hours it stopped again.
The D-link DIR-855 has both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wifi band so I enabled the 5GHz band and I was able to connect to the SSID and access internet, nut only for a few hours.
Now it connects to the netwok but I can´t access internet nor my LAN.
At home I have Huwei router and there it works without problems.
I wonder who to blame if it´s Dlink or Samsung.
Anyone have a solution to this?
I have applied the latest FW
Hi suddenly my WiFi stopped working now I am not able to connect to any WiFi network.
Any help would be appreciated.

As of today I am having the same issue; I have tried multiple networks to no avail. Booting into safemode and turning on/off wifi does not work. If I find a solution I will update this post accordingly.
Me too. I believe it happened after I installed the May security update.
Just started happening to me about 4 hours ago. First it went in and out a couple times but I was within say ten feet of the router. Now I'm one room away, but have line of sight to to the router, and I have no Wi-Fi connection. It will come up as poor with no reception and then connect but never get internet. LTE works fine, wifi worked fine all day even.
Not working WiFi. I can not even turn the WiFi tumbler ON, some security updates Fixed Bluetooth. Do you guys have the same issue?
My wifi also stopped working. I was on P beta and it was working fine but yesterday simply stopped.
I rolled back to 8.1, same problem. Rolled back to 7.1 and nothing.
It only gets wifi if place my phone on top of my router.
You guys think it is hardware related? Because it didnt fell or anything, it just stopped working overnight.
Same, it happened after I upgraded to P
My wifi stopped working too. I tried everything.. it will not connect to any wireless access point anywere
I tried going back to stock image 9.0 and tested NDE63V (Standard) and still nothing.
I get and see signals but fails to connect.
any ideas?
dam...this sucks..time to dump this pixel and buy something else
I looked on eBay.. a few listed as Bad WiFi
Apparently it's fairly common on eBay and on the forums with no fix for it
