[Q] Wi-fi won't work with new ICS - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I updated to ICS yesterday and it was working great, then I decided to do a reset to factory reset and now it won't maintain the connection to my WI-fi.
my phone and laptop do maintain a connection to my WiFi so i know it's not my wireless router. My transformer does connect for a brief second and then it loses it right away and it keeps trying to obtain ip, then connects then disconnects and so on so forth.
Anyone know the problem?
Oh yeah and my tf101 is not rooted, 100% stock.
Thanks,
Elton

Similar Issue
I have having an issue connecting to a duel band (5ghz) Wireless N network. The other network is G+N (2.4ghz). I was on Prime 2.1.1 and I believe it was able to connect to the duel band N network without issue.

Mine is a dual Netgear G+N and I can't connect to either one, this is too weird. My brother has the same tablet and his also says "problem authenticating" same as mine.

Ok so I did a reset 3 times and I reset my router and now it works.

Simple fix: restart router

the wifi is broken.....

[Q] WIFI Connection Issue Asus Transformer

Hey,
Was wondering if anyone had any solutions to this issue.
I can connect to my router with the asus transformer, successfully get an IP, but can not connect to the external web. I can make internal connections, but again, nothing external. I have no problem with my samsung sgs i9000m, various laptops, ipod touch, etc etc..
The router in question is a speedtouch 780 (dsl modem, voip, and router in one). Ive tried various encryption schemes, and even tried to leave it open but to no avail.
I can create a wifi network with both my imac, and with my samsung sgs and the transformer can connect, and also move internet data!
Very weird, I dont even know where to start trouble shooting, can anyone help?

Sounds daft but i assume to have tried rebooting the router .... my router occasionally gets confused based on the sheer number of wifi hardware we have in the house .... otherwise have you tried changing the wifi channel ? read somewhere else that people were having problems with channel 13 ???
hey thanks for the reply.
Yes probably rebooted the router a half dozen times, restored firmware, no go.
Ive bounced around a few channels, doesnt seem to have any effect.
Im really stumped!

no not via the router, the little wifi icon at the bottomcorner stays gray (means connected, but not to the google servers, it goes blue when it does connect to the google servers.)
It does connect and go blue when i create a wifi network from my cell phoneusing my cell data connection

well on the plus side that implies its not a TF hardware or setting issue
not sure I can help on the router front as im no expert have you checked what IP address its allocated ? are you able to see the TF from the router info page ?

yeah im thinking its a router issue.
i can see the transformer, it appears to look exactly the same as all other wifi devices that connect to the router...
stumped =/
Under your wifi settings long press your wireless network under the list of networks available, you should get a "modify network " link pop up, change the setting from DHCP to Static and enter your settings manually. Had a similar issue with an iPod touch once, wouldn't go on the internet unless it had a static address even though all settings were identical to what it pulled from the router using DHCP.
Update Transformer firmware? Leaked official 3.1 is out has updated wifi drivers too.
If no go after that, factory reset the Transformer.

I have the same problem with my TF101, I did all of the above, but the WIFI indicator stays grey. I have a good connection with my router.
When I connect with the router at my work, I have the same. So, the problem is TF101 related. When I bought it two weeks ago, it worked. Two days ago I flashed Prime 1.4, and that worked too. Since yesterday I have this problem, and I tried all to solve it. Other firmware, factory reset....everything. Can somebody please help me with this?
Not sure what this issue is, I never had it with the previous WiFi build, only after the 3.1 changes. I have had several occasions where sitting within 5 ft of router, it would not connect. reboot solved it each time, but I have noticed that it appears dependent on when you unlock during the boot sequence. If you let the boot sequence complete before unlocking, it never happens. If you unlock during the boot sequence, it might.
ASUS Tech Support please note.
@rumbleweed : thanks for the response!
Update : I pushed the original 3.0.1 WW blob to /data/local/ with ADB to unroot my TF101. After that the WiFi icon stayed gray, but I had a working internet connection. Later I updated it to WW 3.1. To be sure I did a factory reset, and now it is working again. First the WiFi notification icon stays gray for a few minutes, but after that it went to blue. I have a unrooted 3.1 WW TF101 now, but I'm happy!

Hi i had this same problem when i first unboxed my Asus TF, Wifi said i was connected to my Linksys router, and i even had an IP address but no internet.
In my frustration y plugged it to my PC which is connected with an ethernet cable to the router and voila, internet icon changed from grey to blue and 2 small arrows started to appear. The internet was now working and i updated the thing from 3.0 to 3.2.
Not sure why this happened but ever since that time i have no problems connecting even on different routers and modems.
Hope this helps.
Had this problem myself from unboxing, tried everything suggested and still no joy.
went and got a linksys router to replace my dlink, everything working fine. tried it with a few networks now and seems to be a problem with dlink routers.
I have this same issue at my school. Up until 3 weeks ago it would always give me blue, then randomly it started staying on white. I can use the net, just not connect to the Google servers.
It works fine everywhere else.
Strange.
Try playing with the wifi disconnect policy?
having a different problem here. been using my home internet since unboxing. all was fine. then one day the connection was grayed. tried rebooting and everything didnt work. i went to setting, clicked forget network. then it never appeared again.
and yeah, its a dlink router. any help ?
Problem: fixed!
I had a solid wifi connection most of the time, complete with a solid blue wifi icon. But my wifi was EXTREMELY slow and intermittent. After a great deal of forum searching and trying every possible suggestion, the solution that finally worked for me was to change the channel on my router from 'Auto' to 6. Flawless connection now, and no more dropped signal.
Hi there,
I tried one thing - took off the lock feature from my transformer and now it's back to normal.
If I turn it back on I am back to square one.
Can anyone figure out how the lock feature affects the WIFI connection ? Is there a bug and is there a fix ?

Jumping in a bit late, but am having similar issues. Just got my TF but have not been able to connect to my dlink router (dir-655 - onlyl couple months old). The router works fine for everything in the house. I know the settings well and have tried many things (went through all channels one by one, messed with different WPA security options, even removed security, etc). Nothing allows me to even connect to the router/network.
In the Wifi settings is jut keeps saying 'connecting...' and 'scanning...' over and over. I am about to take this thing back as I really can't buy a new router at this point (no new firmware for router is available by the way, I checked).
Has anyone confirmed that dlink routers can work with the TF and if so, what are the settings you are using (channel, WPA security settings, dhcp or static, etc)?? This driving me nuts. I want to keep this TF but won't if I can't get it to work at home.
Oh and by the way, when I use my Droid Inc 2 as a hotspot with WPA security, the TF connects without issue. So the TF appears to be fine, it is definitely related to the dlink router.
Thanks!

[Q] Wi-Fi connection problems

I'm having a strange problem lately with the Wi-Fi. I was at work where I've previously set up the wi-fi details, but now it says the network is not in range. The laptop I have sees and connects to it just fine so the connection details haven't changed, and the signal strength is 5 bars on the laptop, so it's still in range.
Well failing that, I connected the laptop to a wired connection and created an Ad-Hoc network to share the internet from. The latest honeycomb 3.2 update added support for Ad-Hoc and the network was seen on the tablet, I typed in the password, but it won't connect. It sees it as full strength, attempts to connect, and then the network suddenly loses all strength gives me a "-1 mbps" link speed and seems to get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to connect.
This same issue happened at a friends place where she has your typical household wi-fi but I thought it was just a fluke. I still get the "-1 mbps" link speed and lack of connectivity. The strange thing is it still works at home and at another friends place.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
yeah i had the same problem. i got Linksys router on WPA\WPA2 personal. But at the same time i changed ISP...150mb/s down and up bebeh! ...so i used the router they gave me instead.
not sure linksys and/or the WPA/WPA2 personal is the problem. But i dont have the problem anymore.

Yeah, it's weird. For the Ad-Hoc connection I was able to change the security type to basic WEP and it worked fine after that. Previous it was WPA2 and not working.
I'm wondering if the latest firmware update has anything to do with this?

[Q] Constant wireless disconnections after update to jellybean

Hi,
After updating to jellybean my wireless keeps disconnecting when i try to use it (data transfer/internet).
Sometimes it reconnects after about 30 seconds, but other times it wont reconnect until i forgot the network, and connect again.
The router is about 3 feet from me, and is on an otherwise empty channel. Its currently set to use b/g/n.
After some googling, it appears that this should have been fixed in Jellybean, but google did something (When i find the link again, i will ammend this) in ICS that meant b/g/n mode didn't work.
When i get home later today, im going to try changing the mode to see if this solves my problem, however i would like to know, Are other people having this same problem ? or is it just me ?
Resetting the wireless router might help.
There's a couple of threads going about wifi after updating to JB.
Someone had mentioned a router reset fixed poor connectivity.
Sent from the inside out...
Am I seriously the only one who saw an improved WiFi signal after the JB update?
As Thats OK said, try resetting your router. If that doesn't work, set a Static IP on your tablet.

[Q] Help! Very bad wifi signal at 2,4Ghz?

Hello all,
I just bought a Oneplus One.
But when I tried to connect to my home Wifi (which is 2,4Ghz, and no options to use 5Ghz) it didn' t saw my router.
Now I downloaded Wifi Analyser, This is showing me that I only have a connection with my router if my phone is only a few centimeter/inches away from the router.
This problem is not in my router because i have this with all the wifi connections that are using 2.4Ghz.
All the wifi connections that use 5ghz are working fine.
I've already changed the channels on my router, which didn't make any difference.
I also did a factory reset, still nothing.
I also changed the settings of my phone to only use 2,4Ghz wifi.
I set my wifi performance to his max but still only connection with my router if I hold my phone a few centimeter/inches away from it.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can try? Its really annoying that I can use wifi
Thanks for your time!

my new phone is losing wifi connection all the time. help plz.

under mac address type (in the phone under wifi settings to a specific network) you can choose random mac address as well as phone with mac. what do you choose? same problem with both.
edit: i reset wifi settings. it seems to be working fine now.
the problem has resurfaced. the phone does not connect to wifi even though I reset network settings again. it connects but drops signal immediately.
can anyone help me please?
