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!
Wifi will not connect to multiple routers. It was working, then stopped yesterday. On the wireless network screen, it shows my network SSID and when i click on connect, wifi shows "connecting" and will sit there for hours doing nothing.
Removed all security from router and it still will not connect.
Rooted and flashed multiple 3.1 and 3.2 roms, will not connect.
Reset router multiple times.
Unrooted and went back to stock and still have same problem.
Tried setting static IP and DHCP, but neither work.
Tried airplane mode on, wifi off, airplane off, wifi on and that didn't work.
What makes this problem ever more weird is when I go to see the wifi MAC address, it shows an address of F5:3F:FE:03:00:00 I'm no computer genius, but I'm pretty certain that isn't even a correct MAC address and I definitely know it's not one registered to ASUS.
Anybody have any thoughts or ideas?
Just to add some more information:
If I setup the TF as a hotspot, I'm able to connect to it from both my phone and laptop. But still not able to connect to anything from the TF itself.
No help as far as why you cannot connect, but that looks like an OK MAC to me.

That's odd, because if I try to add that MAC in my router filter list, the router comes back and says it's not a valid address. Oh well.
I know it's not a hardware issue because I can connect my laptop to TF when TF is setup as a hotspot, but not the other way around.
Hello,
I searched but I could not find information on this topic in XDA for TF101. I have a TF101, it was running fine and running ww_8.6.5.19 rooted with CWM. I then followed the directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514705 to download the WW version of ICS and flashed that. It was working fine at work. I got home and I could not connect to my wifi at home (which had never been a problem). I can see the wifi, I can click connect, enter the key (WEP). In the top of the settings screen it says Wifi and Connecting... under it, but it does not connect. In the Wi-Fi networks area it shows the network and says under it Remembered, secured with WEP.
I have tried everything I can think of. I have turned it on an off, turned the wifi on and off, reset the wireless router. Then I thought maybe it was an issue with the ICS ROM so I tried a million other ROMS and none seemed to work, I did a data wipe and that did not help. As a last resort I used this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/ to unroot and return the TF101 to stock. So, I am now sitting with build ww_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 and I am having the same issue. I cannot connect to the internet at home. (I also tried using WPA and completely open wifi and had the same results I am having now)
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Additional Information
I can get it to connect to my cell phone when I make that a hot spot. The wireless at home is working as I can access it from this laptop I am using, my android phone, and my ipad.
Thanks,
Hi
I wondered whether you actually changed the kernel at one point and then
to another ROM - this caused me a lot of trouble since it led to a non -functional wifi adapter. Worse, I could not connect to
Wifi anymore to download the right kernel
So maybe now your pad is not able anymore to use the full functionality of it's wifi adapter.
For example it is possible that you your rooter is configured to provide not all protocols :
802.11 n.g or b are possible, maybe one is not provided by your rooter but when you tether with your phone .
Another possibility would be non supported channels or channel width - believe me I had all funny combinations already with different devices.
Maybe you first want to check this - I might as well be completely wrong.....
Edit : just checked your provided link - you actually went back to stock? Did you as well use the recovery image or only the
firmware? For me it was unfortunately necessary to go back to a virgin system and use the recovery image.
Update
Okay, I had tried remotely powering down the router last night and it did not fix it. Today I tried unplugging it for a while and that worked. Now I need to research updating from 8.2.3.13.......
I have a feeling its the setup in your wireless router.
First change your wifi router to no security and test connection.. if connects great.. then try WPA and use a new passcode.
Thank you all. I was able to connect (it was the router and I was too damn lazy to unplug it last night) today. So instead of two minutes of walking, unplugging and waiting I have flashed myself silly.
Loving ICS!!!!

I am not able to browse on wifi network. Wifi toggles to on position, can scan the network but not connecting
My phone is running on stock Indian ROM 1.52.720.3 with S-off and rest everything stock, "NOT ROOTED"
Till 2 days back it was working fine and i could use the wifi network
Now most of the time it does not connect to the wifi network, it keeps scanning, detects the network, attempts to connect and finally says disconnected.
Sometimes it connects, i can see the assigned IP but not able to browse the internet or use the android market.
However internet pass through option is working when plugged in USB
I am able to connect my laptop to the wifi network and use the internet, so my network is fine.
I spoke to the customer care, they told me to do a factory reset from Bootloader option...I did the factory reset but still wifi not working
Any help please

I haven't had that issue with the stock ROM, and but it has come up with some modified ROMs. The solution has been to scan for the network, and attempt to connect and then disconnect & forget the network. Rescan and connect worked perfectly after that.
Worth a shot.
