Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?
have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.
Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.
I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.
I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.
I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.
I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...
First of all may I say I have searched for this problem on google, as well as xda forum. I did find several threads about this problem, but none of the solutions presented appear to be my case.
So, basically the problem is: I cannot connect to my home router, a Linksys WRT300N N-router. I could not connect with a N1, HTC Desire, nor with my actual NS. My previous Galaxy S was connecting fine though. I'm talking here about stock ROM, no rooting, no custom kernel etc. Also, using static IP address works like a charm, but then WiFi cannot be used on other outside routers, since Static Ip setting is not setup PER router, but rather per WiFi connection, meaning the phone will try to use the static IP defined for any WiFi I run into.
From My experience, it seems it could be related to wireless N router as opposed to b/g. This happened since I replaced my router with the actual one. Ever since this happened, my phone would not connect to my router. Also, this problem seems to be presentfor any N-router, since I cannot connect to WiFi in other locations as well (which might have N-routers as well).
Assuming that it is a problem with N-routers, I don't understand why the Galaxy S would connect, but NS not, since they are almost the same hw.
Does anyone have a clue on this? But please skip solutions like reset router, reset phone, reset modem, use different ROM etc. I am talking stock ROM for all the examples above.
Thanks.
I use my NS with three 802.11N routers without issue (D-Link, Belkin and Netgear).
Have you checked if MAC filtering on the router is active? What security mode are you using? Who makes yr router and does it have latest fw?

Just seen you use Linksys, I have a wag160n and I find it unsusable on terms of wifi, dreadful hardware, despite the parent company being Cisco
Check Linksys forums for problems.
Try another router for whether it's that or phone at fault.

MAC filtering is disabled, I've checked it. Security is, on the router, PSK-Personal with TKIP encryption. Key renewal: 7200 sec. Not sure if this can influence anything.
I've checked on linksys page for fw upgrade, they only have pdf manuals.

Have you checked that you set up the router with b/g/n protocols? not only N..
Try to change the password encrypting method, to WPA or WPA2 or WEP, try also to change the default password.
Have you tried to disable the firewall (DMZ)?
I have exactly the same issue on my stock Desire.....
I have recently upgraded my router from a Belkin G+ to a Belkin N+ and using the b/g/n setting the desire WILL see the connection but will NOT connect to it, NO MATTER WHAT settings you try. Changing it to b/g and it will connect without any issues.
It is my understanding that the Desire/Nexus et al doesnt have the access to the N ability enabled (it has the correct chipset but for some reason it is not active).
Maybe when broadcasting the tri-band the chipset only sees the stronger N connection, therefore tries to connect but gets conflicted (due to lack of N firmware) and instead of switching to b/g it just loops to the stronger signal. IF that makes any sense

Well, the funny part is that I don't even know how to disable the N range to my Linksys 300N.
Anyway, it is weird that the Samsung Galaxy S had no issues with this, while Nexus S (still Samsung made, brother-in-law to SGS) has this issue. For HTC, all have had this problem, including Desire, Desire HD, Wildfire.
Still no explanation or resolution to this matter.
I may have fixed this issue (well I have for me anyway, so yay).
After posting this I decided to apply some weird logic to it. So I reset the router back to b/g, to do this you need to log into the router IP settings, for Belkin it is 192.168.2.1. On linksys routers I think it is 192.168.1.1 but check to be sure.
Once you are logged in there you can change the broadcast settings from N, b/g/n or b/g etc.
Okay, so here is what I did. I reset the router to broadcast b/g only, my Desire would connect. So I decided to try resetting the router to broadcast b/g/n (because I use N on other devices) and then switched the wifi on the desire off and back on again. Low and behold it connects.......Tried it loads of times now and connects everytime!
Might be worth a try?
You guys should just check the logs on the router and see what they say. Should give you a much better idea of what the issue is. You can then Google the error line.
Mine is fixed now, been connecting to various N routers with NO probs since I did the workaround.
My guess would be a protocol conflict (wireless handshake if you prefer) when N routers are broadcasting (based on the fact that the Desire/Nexus etc dont have N protocol enabled in the chipset firmware).
To get around the conflict connect to an N router using the b/g only setting in the routers IP settings and then check you can connect okay and switch the b/g/n back on in the router. I've done this twice today (different N routers, a Linksys and a D-Link) and it works on both where it wouldnt before, so it wasnt just my router.
hum... i am having the exact same problem as described only my router is already using
802.11g&802.11b
i have no idea why it keeps trying to obtain ip address
then it scans agains because it can't connect and tries to obtain the ip again
after trying for a minute or 2, the home ssid becomes:
"disabled, secured with..."
(device = motorola atrix)
I have tried everything and still not working... do routers block Mac addresses if it doesn't connect right away?

Hi
Sorry to ask the question but I am hoping someone could assist as I have searched everywhere with no luck.
I got my WIFI Xoom today imported from the US to Australia. The Xoom will not connect to my NetGear Wifi Router and just keeps on trying to Authenticate.
I tried to connect to my Desire also through the Hotspot on the phone and that worked OK.
Is anyone able to assist me with troubleshooting this problem.
Much Appreciated.
Edit: Sorry Mods you can delete as the problem was solved by Netgear.
What was the solution?
I'm having the same problem with my Encore router. My laptop and iPhone connect to it just fine, but my Xoom just doesn't like it. (I've tried all sorts of configurations. SSID broadcast, different security types, etc)
Not sure this will help, but I had a similar issue with a NOOK Color. Tried connecting to a D-Link DIR-615 (Wireless-N) and experienced issues similar to what youre describing. Tried everything you described with no success. Finally changed my wireless standard to (B and G) vice (B,G,N) and the nook connected. Strange as the Nook is "N" compatible, but thats what finally got me connected.
Havent had that experience with the xoom but if your out of ideas give it a try.
my problem is my netgear router-n doesn't have that good of a connection just a room away. (It gives me two bars) At work a d- link router works great all bars. Any suggetions?
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!
Grettings everyone, I have been facing an issue for quite sometime now regarding my S3 and my wireless N-Extender (Cisco RE1000), whenever I'm connected to my router i get full speed internet and everything is fine, However when im connected to my extender I do get full signal but no internet, the extender works perfectly with my iPhone 4, but none of my android devices (S3,Acer iconia tab A501,Asus transformer TFT101), I tried using a static Ip address to no avail, and using Wifi fixer app didn't fix the problem either. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
What's the status on this issue, was it resolved?
Last night I tried out a wifi extender at home and it worked perfectly with my cellphone not so much with my TF101. Basically wifi speed stayed the same not a dramatic change like on my cell.
