Wifi issues - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my 7.0 and love it but the wifi keeps disconnecting. It'll reconnect but it messes up my downloads. Does his seem to be a problem with the 7.0 or did i just get a bum model?

did you updated your tab?
Try removing n/w and re enter wep/wpa key...
It should work

As i know their are some problem with routers with 5 ghz channels so try the 2.4 ghz channel and see if the condition resolved also try a different channel to broadcast by you router as channel 8 or 13 etc and see if connection improved or not if you could try it with different router and different connection as in your friend connection to see if connection still drops or not if still drops then return with warrany if no warrany may be you could think about flashing modem files by odin but i think it needs somewhat experienced users and may void warrany

Probably broadcasting on a channel which Android has disabled for your country. Switch to a channel between 1 and 12 on your router, may need to take off auto. An app like Wifi Analyzer should be able to see the network no problems.
Its on channel 11. My old was on 11 too but it worked...

Make sure you have set your router to use the 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz.
It is set to 2.4 ghz and wifi analyzer cant see it

Be sure your router was configured to WPA/WPA2 security,not WEP,and that the router is visible (Wireless SSID : ON) .
ICS -802.11n not compatiable..change it to g/n

Slow Downspeed on Note 10.1

I have a fiber optic internet connection at home and on my desktop PC I get download speeds of 80mbps+ however when I do a speed test on my note 10.1 I am lucky to get a downspeed on 3mbps. Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how to improve it?
I am in the UK and have the N8010 model.
Many thanks.
Its likely something with your router. Check the signal strength and channel.maybe a firmware upgrade on the router .are you connection to a/b/g/n all of the above will effect speeds and reliability.
Also is your PC hard wired.? If so you know it will be much faster there is far less overhead data tagging along.I do not think its the device
Good luck

Thanks for the response. My router in running on Wireless N. Yes my PC is hard wired however im still getting at least a 50mbps downspeed on my Windows laptop via the wireless. I just figure it's something to do with the network card inside the Note?
I do have some problems connecting to certain networks with my tablet as well. Maybe there's some problem with wifi drivers in the galaxy note I'm guessing. Hopefully it'll be fixed in JB.

One thing you can try is changing the encryption and/or privacy standard (WEP and so on) since some of them isn't supported by "dumb" devices and I suspect some of them are supported but are so advanced it affects the performance.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
I solved setting the ip address to static (not dhcp) in wifi settings.
Now i get 20 mbits+ (consistent with my G router capabilities)

Go to settings.
Select wifi
Long press on your connection.
Press modify connection
Now select ip settings and change to static
Now change your IP to an address outside of dhcp range and your done.
If dhcp is 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.100 set your tab to 192.168.1.101
You can also change your routers dhcp range to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.15 and set your tab to ..16
Your numbers may be different, but same method.

Wifi issues please help.

Haven't done or changed anything. I have wifi on my tab turned on at all times. When I leave my house the tab disconnects and when I come home it reconnects until yesterday. When I got home yesterday I noticed it wasn't connecting, my tab recognized my home network with no problems but I had to reenter the password. Very inconvenient if I have to enter the password every time I am home.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Have you tried the obvious, reboot the router, then reconnect?
Also, does it forget the password with any other router?
I have the same problem too. And it doesn't only happen at home but also other networks.
i had noticed since the upgrade (via mobile odin), my tab 7.7 longer see the 5ghz wifi network, however my note 1 and other devices sees the 5ghz network just fine

My wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

Ever since my device got bricked and flashed the the original firmware, my connection on wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnects even though im like 10 feet away from my router. This bothers me because I cant play online games. Is there anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
I suggest you turn off your router (or also disconnect the cord) for 30 seconds, turn off your WiFi on your phone, then plug it back in and turn on your WiFi again and check. Otherwise it might be a phone problem.
I'll give it a try
...When im connected to other wifi network this doesnt happen.

You should consider buying a new Wireless Router which is more powerful. As your statement, that this issue doesn't happen in other WiFi network, try to check the speed of your internet, traffic, etc.
My other devices works fine

try to forget the network, restart your phone and connect again.

So the issue must be the communication between your phone and the device. Try to restart the phone, or remove your wifi, and then enable it again.
try this
go to settings> WiFi > advance > keep WiFi on during sleep > select always on
I tried, the problem is still there

problem solved and a question-why does unstable wifi mess with usb?
My phone kept getting disconnected from my computer. This was apparently happening because my wifi was unstable. Not sure why the phone disconnected, I was connected via usb. The wifi was unstable because I was using a proxy. When I use my comcast connection straight through the problems go away. If someone can explain why an unstable wifi can screw up a usb connection I'd be grateful. Windoze issues?

[Q] Wifi Drop

I have a rooted Nexus5 which aint running any custom rom. I have noticed that my wifi drops . the icon shows active on the status bar but there is no data transfer.
i thought it could be one of the xposed modules which might be interfering so i unrooted my phone and put it back to stock. The wifi signals were fine for a day or so and i am now facing the same problem again.
I downloaded the Wifi Analyser app from the play store to check if there is any interference from other routers in the vicinity. I have changed the channels multiple times but to no avail. At the same time my laptop & desktop connects fine to the router.
I am currently running stock 4.4.2 build # KOT49H

Try an app called "Root- Push Notifications Fixer". There are two versions one that requires a rooted device and one that does not I use the rooted one and off hand cannot remember the difference. Below is the playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&hl=en
This app resolved a WiFi issue I was having. I originally blamed my router/device but it was neither. I use it on both my Nexus 5 and 10. Read the app description for the issue it addresses.
Good luck.

I had something similar on my Nexus 5. The wifi speed would drop dramatically at random and it looked like web pages had stopped loading. My connection is 25Mb but the N5 would drop to 1-2Mb. I'd then have to turn wifi off and on to get the speed back up.
After searching around for the same issue a few people suggested turning off mobile data while using wifi. After doing this the speed has never dropped. I've since set up a Tasker profile to turn mobile data off when connected to wifi and back on when wifi is out of range/off.
Might be worth a try.
Its helping mate . will try it for a day or two to see how it works .

guys , looks like i have finally sorted the problem. I called my ISP and he suggested that it could be a looping issue with the router. He advised a hard reset which i have done now. i can now connect to wifi with my phones
sometime my Wi-Fi lost data even the connection is still on. I'm using Franco kernel r32. I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
