My TF101 not rooted and running stock rom is not connecting to my home WiFi. Note it has been connecting fine for over a year. I have tried restarting it, forgetting and reconnecting to the router but it just won't connect. The funny thing is, when I select my router it doesn't provide any error message or anything; after you press connect, it brings you back to the WiFi screen which shows all the different WiFis discovered.
Does anyone's know what I should do? I'm debating if it's a hardware fault possibly? I'm not sure though. If I have to I can root it and install another custom rom on it.

Try a cold boot
Turn it off, hold power and volume down until you see the white text at the top of the screen, then release the buttons and wait, it should cold boot on its own
I would suggest unplugging your router for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in and see if that helps. Sometimes the router and the TF101 don't want to shake hands.
I had the same problem this week. Wiping cache and dalvik appears to have fixed it.
Funny thing I found out later is that it connects to other WiFi fine. So the problem must be between the router and the tf101.

Ok so when I try to tether my phone to the PC(windows vista 32 bit) it will connect but only for like five minutes then it only gets limited connectivity. I've tried to diagnose from the PC but keeps telling me I need to contact my service provider. It will connect but goes back and forth. Would anyone be of assistance. Please and thank you

Which tehering app u using? Locsl, mobile ap or wifi tether app for rooted phones?

When i used mobile AP it also gave me limited connectivity for a while so i turned it off and then back on and it worked fine... im not sure what the problem was though
are you using wired tether or wireless
Ok guys I'm using stock tethering with USB. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting and it will give full connectivity then it will drop to local only then in a few more minutes it will drop to limited connectivity. I just don't get it. It will connect but just losses connection like crazy. I will try a few apps and report back, in the mean time any help or ideas on what to do are welcome.

I've only used Mobile AP and Tether app to do tethering, never had an issue on those. Best of luck.
are you letting your screen turn off, and are you running any battery saver apps that turn off moble web when the screen turns off.?

I dont think it matters if the phone is charging or the screen is off/on. I used to tether with the stock app all the time no problem while charging and screen off for a long time.
I just recently started getting limited connectivity. I only use our stock Mobile AP. I have never used the usb cable to tether. I wonder if it is a result of something we flashed..
If we can figure this out I will be very happy!

I agree. It would seem it is due to some unforeseen issue that I would not no anything about. It seems like when the phone goes to sleep that's when the trouble starts. I haven't been able to test this theory as I haven't had access to a PC for a day or two. Will report back with you guys cause I'm gonna try a few apps and see if keeping the screen constantly on will help if it does then we will know it is something to do with the phone sleeping while tethering. Thank you much for your guys input..

I always turned my screen off and never had an issue before. This is recent issue for me. I'm not running any battery saver apps..I did recently flash a ROM that came with Bali 3.3 uv.
I never uv and actually flashed Bali 3.3 (no uv) this AM. Could the under volting be causing it? The last time I tethered was two days ago so I don't know if I still have the issue with Bali 3.3
Thanks
Ok. I have done some testing and definitely have come up with a fix for us. Is it a temporary or permanent fix? I'm not sure just yet. This is what I did.
Turned on my Acer laptop/let it boot up.
Turned on our stock Mobile AP as a wireless tether. I got limited access.
I right clicked on the signal status bars icon.
I got a popup with 3 choices one of which was STATUS.
I clicked on STATUS and the limited connectivity icon (triangle with ! In it) almost immediately disappeared before my status window popped up.
I HAD FULL CONNECTIVITY.
I browsed a little.
I shutdown/started up my pc 3 times and had full connectivity each time.
I then, for40 mins, downloaded ROMS, Kernels, Mods ect from xda and rootzwiki using wireless Mobile AP with no issue our loss of connection. I worked it good!
I am now shutdown and waiting for an hour to pass (another 30min) to test if I will have full connectivity immediately on connection.
I'll check back in soon. Hopefully I'm on the right track!
**Also**
My phones screen was off the entire time.

No. Audiophile Funk in the trunk as of yesterday but I was getting it on Black Ice too. Just started happening 10-14 days ago
@GDofWR420
Ok. I started pc/let it boot up and run. I then turn on Mobile AP (wireless).
It showed connected but there were no bars and the blue wheel was spinning..still early in its connecting process I'm sure.
I got the limited connectivity icon on the signal status bars and it said Limited connectivity in the popup.
I right clicked the signal status bars and immediately got Full connectivity. I didnt even get The 3 option popup with the STATUS option.
I'm still fully connected as I write this. My phones screen off the entire time.
I'm going to shut down pc and reboot phone and see what happens...I'm sure it is something we flashed and when the devices "talk back and forth" something happens.
Forgive my noob speculations and non technical replies. I'm REALLY NOOB with pc's lol.
If all we will have to do is right click the signal status bars here and there that wont be to bad.
I'm going to Odin stock (probably not tonight) and see how that works for us also...
BTW; I have been using your CWM advance restore guide and I'm loving it! Wish you did it months ago! What a time saver! Thank you for that.
Yesterday I had to go to the browser on my Transformer, but when I wanted to unlock it I forgot what I wanted to do. So I'm thinking and I'm thinking and I see my Transformer rebooting. I thought it was forzen and it needed a reboot. Sinds then it's stuck on the boot logo(with powered by nvidia tegra underneath it). It keeps rebooting and rebooting but it never get's further than that.
I'm running stock ICS with the latest updates.
Sorry for bad english.
Found the problem just keep the power button for 10 seconds.
Turn it on again.
solution?
You found the problem? What was it?
I had the same problem, I had found a solution but now it is restarting over and over again.
Hard power-off seemed to help, but it continues to do this every hour or so since the update (2 days ago?)
solution?
I'm having the same issue.
I would like to know how to fix this issue other then going back to the factory settings.
Indeed, don't think there's an easy way.
Maybe a root will help.

I see, but neither of the other responders have solved it that way, else I wouldn't be here. But thanks for reminding.
The XDA-rules clearly indicate that we should look for a topic that is related.
I had the reboots also. I did a factory reset that stopped them for a few days then they started again. I disabled the Asus settings in the menu and have gone four days with no reset. Then I reset the screenshot check and forgot to uncheck it after the shot. The first time it slept it rebooted. I think the problem is in the Asus settings.
I had also reboots when the tablet goes into deep sleep / standby. I wipe all datas and switch to various roms. Then i found the app "wake lock" thats prevents that cpu goes into idle mode. The reboots disappear After activeating this app in mode PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK .
I'm on the skyrocket and I have ran just about every ROM on here at some point and a while back my wifi started acting up randomly. By acting up I mean it would shut off and either attempt to turn on and end up in error or it would turn on after much longer than normal and start scanning but never finding any network then turning wifi back off. I tried all the usual methods of fixing things wipe cache and dalvik reboot, some times would work. Reinstall ROM, kernal, modem...works every time...for a while. Now on ics thought everything was ok then it happened out of no where like always... No wifi. Upgraded to mhx superlite 4.0 and hoping for the best. Thanks in advance

Do you have logging enabled on your router? Seeing any logs that are happening while the router is on/the phone isn't connecting could be useful
I do not but I'll have it ready for next time my wifi stops again could be today could be a week it's very random

Odin CWM?
Hi, I'm facing wifi issues as well. I'm a very new android user. I'm running SKY ICS and it was running great until this morning. I have lost wifi. Nothing has changed with my phone to explain this change in behavior.
Behavior:
Wifi is turned off.
I go in to turn it on, it will show the "turning on..." message in settings and will then show checked. Wi-Fi networks will then show "Scanning" and then wi-fi shuts off.
I had Wefi Pro installed and uninstalled it thinking that app may have caused a problem, but the behavior persists.
I have found Darkside and Odin via search, but can't find Odin CWM. Can someone provide a link? Thanks!

I've noticed that my wifi issues are associated with Juice Defender. It works good for a while then starts acting up. I tweek it. It runs better then acts up. Then I reflash and start over. Need something other than Juice Defender. I suppose I could probably do the same power saving actions with Tasker... but it's more work than I feel like doing.

I use juice defender and never had a problem. Check the wifi settig inside the juice defender profile that's responsible for re trying wifi connection if it fails. That's probably what's set to a high number.
Also, for the OP... Do you have any other wifi devices on your network that behave this way? And do you use juice defender as well?

Can you explain to me why this works and doing multiple reboots or power-off-on cycles doesn't? I've had similar inexplicable mobile data losses on multiple ROMs, and have tried a bunch of stuff. The power-volume up worked the first time...
Thanks, though!

It is like Windows XP. Restart (power off and then restart phone) just restart the OS not shutting the computer down, not clearing the memory and cache. Shut Down (pulling battery or hard restart volume up and power) turns the system off clearing the memory and cache.

What's strange is that I have tried booting into recover, wiping cache partition and dalvik cache in order to fix the problem. It worked once but hasn't really worked since. I guess it must be a memory thing... ???
At this point, I would suggest either a different kernel or a different ROM. Every ROM effects every phone differently. Try HellFire Sandwich v1.7 with the updated harsh kernel. Its what I'm using now and I haven't run into that issue yet.
