Anyone use a wifi adapter on th tf101? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a Rokland N3 hoping to increase wifi signal strength. I have seen it work with earlier android versions (1.9) But when I connect to the dock USB port, it lights up but does not connect.
Has anyone had success with any wifi adapter?
Thanks

[Q] OTG makes Xoom touch screen not work!?

Hi~
I connect a OTG cable(without connecting to other devices) to my Xoom, and the touch screen almost not work! It becomes very slow!
But I can connect a USB mouse to the OTG, and control the Xoom smoothly, although the touch screen is still now work.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!
Is it Motorola or some generic?

my cheap usb OTG from ebay works fine with my xoom ( both stock or mantaray/hammerhead rom)
I would try a different OTG adaptor. I have never heard of this behavior before.

5Ghz Wifi capable or not?

Hi there,
i just got my TF300T and i'm quite happy with it (coming from LG Optimus Pad it's no wonder ).
But i have one question/issue where i can't find an answer for:
I have a Netgear Router which is capable of using 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz Wifi simultaniously. Now i can connect my Transformer with the 2,4Ghz without any issues and everything works fine. But if i have a look into the Wifi list on my Transformer i can see the 5Ghz connection but it alway states that it's out of reach.
Is the Transformer Pad capable of using 5Ghz connections or not? If yes, what is wrong with my pad?
Thanks for any replies

I dont even see the 5Ghz option in my wifi list. I don't think its capable but I wish it was. I have a toggle in the wifi settings on my gnexus so I connect that to my 5Ghz.
No......
Yeah no 5ghz

Not on tablet yet... With unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel you can then...

Cool, I guess I will skip tf300 then.
Can't believe there is no 5G WiFi support - even iPad1 has it.

Do you have more than 30mbit Internet connection? What is it that your doing that needs that much speed? The range on 5ghz is lower... I'm curious.

1080p movie streaming locally for one. I'm kinda pissed there's not 5ghz support for that alone.
actually a very very very small percentage of tablets have that support. The main accepted one is the 2.4Ghz band.

Well, for fast transferring of files, HDTV streaming, etc.
I watch 1080p with no problem... I just copy it to my 32gig sd card or use wifi file explorer pro and copy it to the internal storage... I get around 4.5 megabytes a sec transfer...

Good evening:
I was just wondering where you were going with this post. How do I unlock a bootloader and install a custom kernel (whatever that is)?
Definite newbie with tablets. Be gentle!

Can't connect to my phone's hotspot

I previously used my phone as a wifi hotspot when I had a prime. The infinity sees the wifi and pretends to connect but the bars in the indicator stay grey instead of blue. Thus no internet. What am I doing wrong?
Nevermind I figured it out

Mind telling us what the problem was, in case someone else runs into it?

I have a similar issue. Would love to know the resolution, but maybe someone can help.
My phone is a rooted EVO 4G LTE with WiFi Tether and profile is set to generic ICS. Infitity recognizes and attempts to obtain IP from the phone but it just stops there. It also shows a very weak signal when its trying to connect even though the phone is next to my tablet. When its not trying to connect it shows a very strong signal.
Any suggestions?

When I tether my Tf700 to my SGS2, it will take a little while for the WiFi icon to turn blue. Mind you, the icon turning blue is not a representation of the connection having been established per se, but it signals having a (syncing) connection to Google's servers. Sometimes, I can browse the web and download all kinds of stuff while the icon is still green. After a while (and mostly after a crapload of mails and Whatsapp messages and the like have come in), the icon (finally) turns blue.

Did you make it discoverable on both devices? Try connecting after that. You should try tethering using BT. Saves more on battery for your phone.

I've had that issue before. Try changing your SSID and Password on the hotspot provider (phone) and it should work. May take a few tries.

TF101 as a WiFi to Ethernet adapter?

Is there a way to have the TF101 connect to a WiFi network and then share the connection with other devices using Ethernet? (I already have a USB to Ethernet adapter and a dock for it.) I have modded my TF101 with a high gain patch antenna so it picks up weak signals very well. (Almost as good as my old WA840G with a cantenna on it and much less bulky!)
Main use case would be to connect a pocket AP (modded WR-702N) to it some distance away (to prevent interference) and then connect my other stuff to that.
It would seems that you'd need the driver for the USB device (it might just work because Ethernet should already be included in most kernels) and an app that properly routes traffic through the device. In theory it should work but you need those 2 components.

The Ethernet adapter works fine for connecting to an Ethernet network. So that part is already done.
You could take a look at the clockworkmod tether app or the source code for droidifi to figure out how to make an app to handle the routing part.

Wifi not "connecting."

Hi, I hope somebody can help me out. I have been unable to connect online for about a month now to my wifi. When I select the connection, it shows me full bars on the settings page but nothing afterwards.
I have no trouble connecting other devices to my wifi & right now it's just an expensive paperweight. I have no problems tethering with my phone & when I'm at the library with my pad, there are no problems connecting.
Nothing is customized & I'm on 4.2

I would try to disable password on your router and see if your tablet will connect then. If it does you might need to change the encryption on your router. Check what it is. If its WEP then change it to WPA2. Wifi doesn't have the best standards that are always followed by manufacturers and as a result sometimes things just won't connect.

I have to reboot my router after changing ROMS sometimes . Have you tried rebooting the router or maybe even resting it?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk HD
That most definitely has to do with your router. Check if you can connect to another device that has uses wifi (Xbox, iPod touch, TV, laptop) & if the wifi is working fine there. It could also be that you put in the wrong password for the wifi on your tablet, & it is reading the connection, but not actually connected.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I changed the security from WEP to WPA2 & I was able to reconnect my tablet with no problems.
