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!
Hello,
I searched but I could not find information on this topic in XDA for TF101. I have a TF101, it was running fine and running ww_8.6.5.19 rooted with CWM. I then followed the directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514705 to download the WW version of ICS and flashed that. It was working fine at work. I got home and I could not connect to my wifi at home (which had never been a problem). I can see the wifi, I can click connect, enter the key (WEP). In the top of the settings screen it says Wifi and Connecting... under it, but it does not connect. In the Wi-Fi networks area it shows the network and says under it Remembered, secured with WEP.
I have tried everything I can think of. I have turned it on an off, turned the wifi on and off, reset the wireless router. Then I thought maybe it was an issue with the ICS ROM so I tried a million other ROMS and none seemed to work, I did a data wipe and that did not help. As a last resort I used this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/ to unroot and return the TF101 to stock. So, I am now sitting with build ww_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 and I am having the same issue. I cannot connect to the internet at home. (I also tried using WPA and completely open wifi and had the same results I am having now)
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Additional Information
I can get it to connect to my cell phone when I make that a hot spot. The wireless at home is working as I can access it from this laptop I am using, my android phone, and my ipad.
Thanks,
Hi
I wondered whether you actually changed the kernel at one point and then
to another ROM - this caused me a lot of trouble since it led to a non -functional wifi adapter. Worse, I could not connect to
Wifi anymore to download the right kernel
So maybe now your pad is not able anymore to use the full functionality of it's wifi adapter.
For example it is possible that you your rooter is configured to provide not all protocols :
802.11 n.g or b are possible, maybe one is not provided by your rooter but when you tether with your phone .
Another possibility would be non supported channels or channel width - believe me I had all funny combinations already with different devices.
Maybe you first want to check this - I might as well be completely wrong.....
Edit : just checked your provided link - you actually went back to stock? Did you as well use the recovery image or only the
firmware? For me it was unfortunately necessary to go back to a virgin system and use the recovery image.
Update
Okay, I had tried remotely powering down the router last night and it did not fix it. Today I tried unplugging it for a while and that worked. Now I need to research updating from 8.2.3.13.......
I have a feeling its the setup in your wireless router.
First change your wifi router to no security and test connection.. if connects great.. then try WPA and use a new passcode.
Thank you all. I was able to connect (it was the router and I was too damn lazy to unplug it last night) today. So instead of two minutes of walking, unplugging and waiting I have flashed myself silly.
Loving ICS!!!!

Having an issue with the Tab 2 where you go to pick it up and start browsing after it has been sitting around a while (not sure if the time matters, but it seems like after sitting for most of the day) and the wifi is still connected, but nothing works than needs data. It acts like it would if you had not internet connection. Toggling the wifi off and on will fix the issue and notificaitons and emails start pouring in.
Anyone else have this problem? I found a similar issue on the 7.7 forums but nobody reported a solution and I am not even sure if it would have worked on the Tab 2 anyways. I am thinking about making a script that toggles the wifi automatically if it detects it can't connect to the internet. But that is a little ridiculous needing to do that. It shouldn't be losing connection in the first place.
Hi Pirate
it's a bit depending on the ROM you have installed - but since Android 4 you have a quite reliable setting. The default behavior of Android devices is to deactivate the wifi connection when it goes to sleep.
Some ROMs don't recognize the disconnection and the switch/button still shows "Wifi on" although disconnected.
First step: go to settings / wifi settings, hit the menu button (top right three dots) and check the advanced settings.
Somewhat like "Keep WLAN active in standby" - set this to always.
That should solve it already under android 4.x
If this doesn't help, look into Play Store - search for "wifi keep alive". But for the SGT 2 you shouldn't need it
Greetz - Chris
It was already set to "Always" so I don't think that will help. I will look at that app to see what it does.

wifi turns off when not in use to save battery. I think it might be a default even if you have it set to always on.

The problem is that it never comes back on. Well it shows the wifi icon and the signal and everything but it just doesn't have any data connection. Any apps that use data act like wifi is off. The only way to get it to start working again is to toggle wifi or reboot. I also forgot to mention it is the stock ROM, only rooted. It got the OTA a few days ago too and it has happened since then.
You're not alone

It's the same effing stuff people suggest to every wifi glitch out there.
To people who think it's due to the wifi sleep policy: although I've set it to always, why would wifi not resume, after screen is turned on? It's not the wifi that gets disconnected, it's the internet (or the download speed) that stops working.
To people who suggest it's a power saving feature under low battery conditions: Sorry, I've tested it while charging and with full battery.
To people with the above two arguments: Connection to some routers works perfect with the phone. Like when I turn on the hotspot on another phone, the wifi works great. Also, wifi on the other phone from the same source (laptop used as internet access point) works well.
To people who suggest resetting the router or wifi on phone: The internet does start working again, but only for a few minutes. Even if the screen is turned on, the internet may stop working mid-download.
The actual situation is that the phone disconnects from the internet, but keeps showing a connection to wifi. Like I used connectify hotspot to create an access point, and after a few minutes, the phone moved from "connected clients" list to the "previously connected clients", even as the phone showed connected to wifi with even the download arrows blinking, but no internet (or download speed). This only happens with certain sources (of wifi). And other phones may work well with the same source.
I have tried (several times and in different orders and permutations) the following to no effect:
1. Resetting the router.
2. Resetting the wifi on laptop.
3. Resetting the wifi on phone.
4. Restarting the phone and laptop.
5. Static IPs, gateways and DNSs. (Even though the problem was not with connecting to wifi and even internet works momentarily after resetting wifi).
6. Turning off items controlling wireless network in wireless connection properties.
7. Turning off firewall.
Waiting for a savior.
I know this isn't super helpful but I had the same bug you describe on the previous version of carbon. When I updated to the latest it seems to have stopped.

Same issue. also using connectify and also tried all things you have described. If you find any solution please let me know.
I had the same problem on my Huawei Honor. You need to set static IP in wifi settings (when connecting to AP, press "show advanced settings").
Mine settings were:
IP adress: 192.168.1.75 (make sure other devices are not connected with this IP)
Gateway: 192.168.1.254 (it could be different. Use the same as you're using to connect to your router)
Network prefix length: 24
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 4.4.4.4
No option for static IP in connectify

1. I have had the exact same issue for (atleast) the past 2 years. Have survived by repeatedly turning wifi on and off.
2. I too use connectify. This issue doesnt seem to happen on every wifi connection (just like your case). Even more specifically, it seems to happen ONLY when I connect my phone to the hotspot created via my laptop (connectify).
3. Even when the internet is actually working, some apps do not seem to recognise that(take some time to realize it is working), while others are able to connect instantly. Specifially, whatsapp is unable to send/receive messages for about 1-2 mins, after which I receive a whole bunch of messages at once.
This does not seem to be an issue due to connectify as well. I have tried creating a hotspot from my laptop without using connectify as well, but unfortunately, nothing changed. Further, this does not happen when my phone connects to a hotspot created via connectify by some other pc. The wifi and internet work perfectly fine when connected to a hotspot created via my friends computer.
Further, this problem happens only when a mobile connects to the hotspot. Doesn't occur when another laptop/PC connects (not sure about tablets).
I have looked into every nook and cranny on the internet, explored every forum for any working solution, but have been unsuccessful. In fact, this is the first place where I saw the exact same problem as mine, and was wondering if you have found any solution to it .

I'm having the exact same prob on my ZTE Grand x V 970
It started when i had kitkat and i couldnt even "fix it" restarting the wifi, i had to reset the phone in order to have my wifi work for like 2-5 mins and then stops recieving data, tried to reconnect and stays on turning on wifi.. Now i changed to the stock Rom and the problem is still there but at least now i can "fix it" restarting the wifi connection until certain point.
Issue sharing internet with Connectify from PC
Go to:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
On the left column, click on CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS.
You should be in: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections by now.
Then click on: Microsoft Virtual Miniport Adapter and click on Properties, then click on the 'Configure' button in the 'Networking' tab. From this window, go to the 'Power Management' tab and uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'.
This works for me. Try this out
If this doesn't work further, you can try out mHotspot for the same purpose.
I've had the same issue, with the wifi saying it's connected even though it isn't.
This thread is 4 years old and this issue still hasn't been fixed. What a shame.
Same issue here on OnePlus 3 even after factory reset.
I have this same problem after the security patch Mid March to Jan 1, 2019. The WIFI doesn't show in the top status bar, but toggling wifi off/on fixes it till the next overnight. I did make one change to my wireless about that same time and that was moving the min connect speed from 6Mbps to 12Mbps to help with bandwidth issues being cause by devices using low speeds and having several SSID broadcast. My S7 and Tab A both work fine - so I think it was something in the security patch.
Hey guys I still cant connect to my works WiFi.
From the WiFi settings menu. When ever I try to connect it does nothing but says "saved"
My nexus 4 and 7 never had issues. IPhone connect just fine and other people with android phones either connect or can't
I need help, and the WiFi and whole network gets power cycled every weekend. It is a large WiFi network with the same ssid broadcasted from many repeaters throughout the plant
Were you able to solve this?
Is anyone else experiencing connection difficulties with wifi since Oreo? Both at work & home with good, strong wifi signals my phone struggles holding onto wifi. Continually drops & struggles to reconnect like I'm on the edge of a signal (but I'm not, mere feet from a router). THen once connected it'll sit with an x through the icon.
Never had this before the update. On bone stock, locked Oreo OPR6.170623.011. Already tried resetting network settings to no avail.
Edit: Been running in safe mode for awhile and it seems to have alleviated the issue. So now it's time to figure out what app isn't playing nice.
I had that. Turned off such to mobile data automatically
I had the exact same issue. I factory reset my phone twice and did not restore any apps and had the same problem. Phone was under warranty so received a replacement which I am keeping on 7.1.2 for now. No issues yet.
I have a Unifi AP lite setup. Maybe I never noticed it before, but I was using a Rasberry Pi as my manager, but now I'm using an actual cloud key.
I've tried messing with all manner of settings and channels and band steering and AP names with no luck. My Pixel XL 8.0.0 will connect stay on for a bit and drop then reconnect. It never misses a beat, to be honest, I don't notice drops in connection. I am also noticing it in my Nexus 7 2013. My laptop seems stable, my girlfriend hasn't said anything about her iPhone or laptop. My Xbox one is stable, as is my switch.
I've reset network settings and tried the safe mode thing with no luck. I may do a factory reset this weekend if I can find the time.
In the mean time, I'm happy to have unlimited data at the moment.
I think I've narrowed it down to using a custom DNS. I was using a RasPi with Pi-Hole and my phone could not stay connected to wifi. I turned off the router pointing to my pi and boom, strong signal.
I tried manually assigning my IP / DNS etc in android 8.0.0 and it would not connect or hold a connection. I tried to connect it to 8.8.8.8 with no luck either. Back to stock DHCP assigned and I have a strong stable connection.
same issue not too sure what to do...is there a way to downgrade wifi driver?

So I have a stupid network, I'll try to upload a diagram of it here. My apartment internet only comes in in the kitchen and cannot go anywhere else unless I get a different provider, even then I'm not sure.
I moved the Pi to the router/switch that connects to the AP instead of on the other side of my network bridge and I have had 0 problems since. The attached diagram is my old setup as I was trying to explain it to people. Sorry it's not very pro.
