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!
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.....
Hi,
I'm a new owner of TF700
I've turned it up and have to say that I was impressed.
Right after that I encountered a problem with WiFi not finding my router (WRT54GL). The router's WiFi works (it is normally found by my PC, HTC One S, iPhone on daily basis). The TF700 finds tons of WiFis in the building except mine.
I also tried to manually add the WiFi and I just get-not in range. I tested if the WiFi works with creating a hotspot on my HTC One S and it worked.
Did anyone encountered such a problem/has a solution?
Thank you!

Hi,
I got the same problem after updating my TF700 to version V10.4.4.20
Is anybody has it resolved?
SSID gone on my Transformer
I have the same problem. Before Cyanogen mod 10 on my Transformer 101, my Netgear VVG2000 WPA2/PSK encrypted wifi ap worked fine, but after mod installation I can't se my SSID. It works fine on my SG2 and I can connect and see other wifi networks. Can it be because the MAC address has changed and the router blocks it or...? I also tried to change encryption mode to no avail. It has happened once before with a laptop and a never NIC software fixed it.
Hmmm...

What channel is the router using? If you are in the US and it is 12+ you may have and issue with it.
