WiFi Problems - Asus Transformer TF700

Hey sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I couldn't find anything on this.
My wifi keeps dropping on my tablet, usually when in the middle of downloading an app/game or anything from the play store.
It just seems that when in the middle of a download, wifi will disconnect, then reconnect within a few seconds. Very annoying!
Is there a solution to this problem? Is anyone else experiencing this?

This has been a common and much-discussed issue. I've found the following to help greatly:
1. Set wifi router to G-Only. Theres really not much of a speed difference between Wireless-G and wireless-N on these tablets since the wireless-n usually connects at 65mbps max anyway (compare to the 54mbps max of wireless-G). This seems to have worked best for me. Although, I have a completely separate wireless network for all of my "portable" devices, so this doesn't effect my media-streaming network... If you only have a single network, try option 2 below...
2. Set a static IP address on the TF700 - GO into Settings-Wifi and long click on your wireless network - choose modify and then select Static IP....
Hope that helps - please report your findings...

Thanks for your reply.
What I actually did to do to solve my problem was go in to my modem settings, and from there I changed the DHCP lease time to 'forever'.
I also changed the wireless mode from 11/B/G/N to 11G only.
Thought it'd be a good idea to post my fix back here, in case other people are having problems and would like to give this a try.
Cheers.

Hot Spot Causes PC to Crash

Something for the advanced people on our forum. I got my HTC One X last week and for some reason, when I launch my Hot Spot, my PC crashes. It works fine providing internet to Motorola Xoom and Asus TF101 and worked fine from my previous HTC Inspire 4G. I get a BSOD caused by my wireless adapter driver NetwLv32. I have browsed the Microsoft KB and have updated my driver and the issue still exists. Has anyone else had this problem? I do have the tethering plan from AT&T. Any thoughts? Thanks!
are you talking about the USB Tethering?
My Mac & PC are both fine...
if its a laptop, just do wifi tethering, there is no way PC can crash...

Yes USB tethering works fine. It is the wireless tethering that causes my PC to crash. What's odd is that it worked perfectly with my Inspire 4G.

Yes! I am having this issue as well. I also updated my wireless drivers to no avail. I'm glad I'm not the only one but... this sucks!

I am using the standard Hot Spot feature from within the phone.
OK, I changed the default settings in the tethering LAN advanced settings. I changed the Local IP to 192.168.1.100 instead of 192.168.1.1 and the Local IP starting IP to 192.168.1.101 instead of 192.168.1.10 and I am up and running again. There must be a IP conflict somewhere in my PC... Oh well, the world is round again.
interesting news...
Hi
I have this issue on one of my laptops, and i have tried with several different android phones.
However, yesterday i tried connecting that laptop to the hotspot of my wife's iPhone 5 and it worked fine with no BSOD.
I guess there is a conflict in the broadcast somewhere which specific intel based network adapters cant handle.
A workaround would be the best option right now, since intel will not recognize this and take responsebility.

I have the same issue connecting a win-xp dell (with i3) to a Nokia 920 wif-fi router.
Instant BSOD. Message says something about IRQ conflict.

You have just to enable FIPS in your advanced settings of the wireless network connection enabled during hotspot and restarts the connection.

[Q] 3G Dongle

Hello there,
I was wondering if there is a way to use a 3G dongle with my Asus in order to have internet access when i don't have a wifi connection.
If i can't use a dongle could you please offer me a solution to a matter extremely important to me and many others as internet on the go.
Thank you in advance,
Perhaps you should consider tethering to a phone via WiFi or Bluetooth for internet access.
I use a G1 Dream for tethering via Bluetooth. Bluetooth uses less power than WiFi.
Assuming you have a smartphone, tethering is the way to go. You could mcguiver up something with the sub dongle a rocket stick (sub cell modem) but tethering is way easier and you are already paying for that data plan. Did exactly that tonight and was getting over 18 Mbps down.

Dude,
1- root your tab

It works great here. But i think you have to use a Huwei 3g stick. Mine is E173
Let me know if it works for you.

I use a 3G Huawei E586 mifi device which works perfectly.
Thank you all for your kind replies, the easiest method of them all seems to be the tethering.
I have a smart phone, and i will try tonight the aforementioned method to see if it is working.
Do i have to enable something else besides bluetooth on my phone before i make a connection with my tablet?
Something that i didn't understand is the way that you proposed me with the 3G dongle.
Do i have to buy my own 3G dongle of this particular brand ( Huwei ) in order to make it work
with the usb slot on my keyboard?
Again thank you all, you have been very helpful and you saved me from a lot of trouble,
thumbs up for your help to this thread:good:
My kindest regards,
Hi
I'm not sure about the other brands. But Huwei works fine. If you want to tether from your smart phone better use the wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.
Good luck

If your smart phone will not "tether" easily, you can try the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R205. It will provide Wifi access to the internet to any device you might have.
I'm too new to the game to be allowed to post a link. Got to vodaphone DOT gr. Click eshop, then usb sticks.
Other mobile services here in Greece may have something similar.
It's simple as can be.

Thank you all again for your replies,
I have just tested and it works like a charm the tethering method through my mobile, but as i have read in a couple of posts up
i was suggested to use wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.Why is that? What are the pros and cons of one method over the other?
My kind regards,
Using WiFi or Bluetooth each have their pros and cons.
Security - Bluetooth has encryption built in. Vulnerabilities have been identified in Bluetooth's encryption, but even with today's hardware it would take a few hours for a machine to crunch the numbers required to crack a Bluetooth session. With WiFi tethering, assuming you are using WPA or WPA2 on the connection, the encryption would be stronger and thus more secure. WEP encryption would not be any more secure than Bluetooth but would still discourage casual snooping. I'm not sure if something like Cyanogenmod's built-in tethering offers WPA, but I know applications like FoxFi do. Advantage on security - WiFi
Speed - If you've got a 3.5g or 4g connection, your tethering connection could be a speed bottleneck. Bluetooth is really only capable of around 2 Mbps (that's megaBITs per second, not bytes). That's still faster than a T1 wired connection or the same speed as a euro E1. I'd consider that plenty fast for one machine browsing but if you want to support a number of machines through tethering you might notice a slowdown. WiFi gives you 11Mbps and maybe up to 54Mbps. Advantage on speed - WiFi
Distance - Bluetooth is only useful to a maximum of around 10 meters. WiFi could go as far as 100 meters. Both protocols are susceptible to interference from just about any nearby electronic device and neither does a good job of going through walls or other obstructions. Advantage on distance - WiFi
Power Consumption - In some use cases, Bluetooth's speed and distance limitations are drawbacks. But those two things combined add up to Bluetooth using much less energy to operate than WiFi. On two mobile devices, longer battery life could be important. During WiFi tethering, batteries tend to discharge so quickly that they release more heat than normal and many tethering apps monitor the battery's temperature so it doesn't cook. Repeated overheating can shorten battery life. Advantage on battery life - Bluetooth
Bluetooth tethering is of course useless for devices that don't have Bluetooth. I'd love to be able to tether my Nook Touch, but my battered old G1 has a broken WiFi board and the Nook only uses WiFi. Other than that, I haven't found any disadvantages to using Bluetooth for tethering.
Hope this clears things up some.
Bt: saves battery, slower speed and can connect only one device.
Wifi: battery consumption, higher speed and can connect up to 5 devices.
I hope that helps

Thank you guys, finally after all of your useful advice and suggestions i have got it all clear in my head.

If i download anything from web or play store it takes forever. My normal internet speed is around 24 mb if i check on note is lower then 1 mb. I try almost everything exept of restoring firmware. On my galaxy S4 in same place in house i get some around 18-20 mb on wifi.

Have you always had poor speed or did it just start acting up?
Have you tried it at a coffee shop or a friends house that has WiFi?
Set to 2.4 or 5ghz?
Have you used an app like Wifi Analyzer or WiFi Overview 360 to see if you have neighbors overpowering your signal?
What WiFi channel is the tablet on?
Do you have a cordless phone in your home and if so what MHZ is it? Is the base unit near your wireless router?
.
How do I can change channel on my note? Seems like I get better signal on channel 11- 14

You change the channel in your router software.
can you check the ping time of your router within terminal?!
i some how had the similar issue, when I checked the ping it was so unstable, around 500ms!! and as i couldnt fix my problem i made a factory reset and it gone to 4ms ( a normal ping for mobile devices ).
Ok thank you to all. I change channel to 11 and looks like everything is fine.

Glad to have helped.....
Most people don't know that by default many 2.5ghz wireless routers default channel is 6 and if you and your neighbors are all trying to connect to channel 6 there is going to be issues.
With there being more and more wireless device and if you live in apartment buildings and housing plans you need to use the apps I posted links to in post #4 to dial in to the best wifi signal in your area.
I also run the app every month or so to make sure I'm getting optimal signal.
Nowadays my wifi is terrible slow with Note10.1.. DL 7-9mbps (speedtest, several servers), UL 9 mbps. My net is 100/10 and Note 10.1 tells me that the "link speed" is 72mbps. Everything is working SLOW, opening webpages is like back in the phonemodem age.
My laptop gets 80-90 mbps for dl at the same time. I even tried to change channel to better one, but no help... Im not sure did this started after the latest "stability" update from Samtoy.

[Q] Hiding WiFi HotSpot on Nexus 5

Hey there,
First, let me say thank you for everyone that has helped me in the past, this is a great community full of very knowledgeable people.
Does anyone know of a way (or an app) that will hide my WiFi connection so no one can see it? I use it at work, and we aren't supposed to hook up to our own internet, we are supposed to use the public WiFi (no way in hell I'm doing that) with my tablet.
I searched a bit but can't seem to find anything as such.
Thank you

I don't know of a hack or app that would disable the broadcast of your hotspot's SSID. I think, however, that some carriers offer software that facilitates creating the hotspot and which can hide it.

I researched this extensively (for the same reasons) and found nothing....sort of. Essentially, if you're going to connect to a hidden SSID, the machine (laptop for me, tablet for you) that wants to connect has to be looking for SSID constantly, which isn't secure. That and I literally found no way of hiding my SSID.
So I thought about it...and I remembered there was an old wireless network on my campus that most people used, but the company changed proxies/routers/everything, so the SSID was 'retired.' My wifi hotspot SSID went from "suck it" to "My-Workplace-b" since that's the naming convention that was used.
This is nice since it's not nearly as suspicious, but more importantly....most everyone around me had certain proxies and protocols set up so that they could connect to that "xx-b" SSID. Those assorted proxy settings now prohibit them from connecting to my phone wifi
tl:dr: I was disappointed I couldn't hide my SSID, learned I didn't want to hide my SSID for security reasons, but then got creative and feel good about the situation.
Hope this helps somehow. Anybody that knows how to right-click will be able to see your nexus isn't a company router, but hopefully they're not that ambitious.
edit: PS: I USB tether extensively. Way less power consuming than wifi tethering (and stealthier). Maybe can't do that with your tablet...but a thought.
A WLAN will always be visible if you create one, all you can do it obscure the SSID by typing spaces and saving. However, then you'll need to go into advanced settings of the client device and enable connections without SSID's. In Windows 7 it's under "wlanSSID' Properties->Connections Tab->Connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID).

[Q] Big Wifi problem on the Nexus 5

Hello,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and fell in love with it. :victory:
But there is one big and annoying problem:
When I'm connected to my router and use Wifi I get a lot of Wifi drops and sometimes it won't work at all.
Switching to Airplane Mode or turning wifi off and back on again and all these standard solutiones. (flashing another baseband version, turning router off and back on)
Sometimes for 1 min it's perfect! But then it's back in this very annoying problem. (On every other device it's so fast like it's supposed to be)
Is somebody out there, who shares the same problem and maybe got the ultimate solution?
Greetings (sorry for my bad englisch)

Also in the router settings?
I think you can fix this problem by changing the channel your that your router uses or by connecting to a 5GHz ap(if possible) but this sort of does the same with the channel 'trick'.
Download an app like inSSIDER or similar, find out what channel is least used by surrounding routers and change the channel of your router to that one.
If you need help with this let me know.

Download an app like inSSIDER or similar, find out what channel is least used by surrounding routers and change the channel of your router to that one.
If you need help with this let me know.

Thanks for your tip! I changed the channel to 11, now it's working and hopefully it will also work in the future.
I'm writing if it's now solved or if the wifi drops come back.
Nope, didn't worked...
Still no Wifi on Nexus 5... God that's annoying

I had the exact same problem and after literally trying everything imaginable I tried several routers. The solution, change your router. I tried several and returned them until I settled on one. But never at the same store. Lol

Just bought a new router and it's working!!! [emoji9] Thank you all for your help!
I had the same issues with Linksys routers. Finally bought a netgear nighthawk and couldn't be happier. I can saturate my internet connection with the phone. And it outputs 1watt of power to each 5ghz and 2.4. So I get almost full signal on 5ghz on the other side of the house
