Hey I was wondering if anyone else was having wifi connection issues with the xoom? Every time I use my xoom I have to keep retrying to load the market, webpages and everything else that uses data. Usually have to reload the market around 3-5 times to get it to work. I have tried 2 different routers and stilll the same thing. Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a way to fix it. Thanks
P.s. When Im on 3G everything is fine
I get it but only with Market, I assumed it was a market issue.
On. 3G, for me, everything is dog slow, but I never get the Retry box.

Mine works perfect with my AT&T U-Verse gateway and tethered to my AT&T captivate. No problems here at all with wifi. Do you have problems with other wifi routers? Go to Starbucks or a friends and see if the same issue occurs. If not, there is something with your router that Xoom does not like.
I'm having WiFi issues as well. I don't have any issues with any other laptops in my house ... but my Xoom ... get very poor signal on WiFi and sometimes doesn't get any connection at all. This is serious buzz kill.
Mine is also choking on wifi. Switch to 3g and no problems. Annoying.

Hardly surpisring when the antenna is surrounded by glass and plastic
Wifi is suspect on the Xoom. I cannot get a connection to my secure wireless at work but I can connect to the less secure guest wireless network. I also could not initially tether with my phone (TMobile Vibrant) but after I downloaded Mobile AP I was able to tether just fine and have not had any issues since then.
No complaints here to report. I'm pulling in on average a speed of 17mbps download on most days from my home wifi network. Quite the speedy little guy my Xoom is.
WiFi hasnt been a problem for me either.
So far, I've used it on 4 different wireless networks (G and N/G), using various security options and I connect to each without fail. Hell, Ive even seen the Xoom connect to WiFi when driving down the street towards places that I have it configured to see.
I did have some trouble at one point due to my DNS and DHCP servers being offline. I didnt suspect any issues with them, so I spent more time than I should have troubleshooting the Xoom.

Always Connecting...
Greetings All,
I have been having issues as well after the update. The wireless always disconnects and connects and doesn't stay connected. No problems with my Droid X or laptop or other device.
Problem is that now I'm getting very close to going over my data plan.
Is there a fix in the works, since it worked perfectly with 3.0
Annoyed...

UPDATE: Uninstalled the leaked Flash 10.2 and that has fixed the problem, somewhat. Still disconnects, but less.

Wireless issue fixed....
Greetings again,
Even after uninstalling flash, the problem persisted somewhat. I was getting very frustrated and so I reset the xoom to factory settings. A few notes on that. All applications were reinstalled, through the market which is good and bad.
So far, after 2 days of heavy wireless use, not a single drop in wifi connectivity.
Hope this helps...

So far my wireless is great. I use WP2 Secure at home, a WEP at my parents, and a MAC based approval network at work. All are steady with full bars and no issues.
SleeplessNinja
MyXoomChannel http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas
Its the encrypton protocol, WPA2 with AES will cause problems.
TKIP works.
I also have random issues. Some days its just fine, but other days wifi works and then stops working, usually a reboot fixes it.
Must be some wifi issue.
I have a fully factory stock xoom and have had NO wy fy problems at all! internet conection firm and stable. I intend not to root my zoom untill all the important updates are done and stable. I also am waiting for my 4G card install. I have WPA2 with AES and the xoom conected to it with NO problem
I haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever. I think it could be your router. My Xoom stays connected with my router and I haven't had a single problem so far with connected wifi.
My PS3 needs a router reset every single time I want to play Black Ops though.
ihad this issue. I think it may be hioneycomb and not xoom related because I experienced it on the acer iconia. The good news is that I resolved my connection issue with wifi. On the surface it looks like a dhcp handshake issue so, if you assign your xoom a static ip from your router, the issue goes away and all is good.
Not to continuously post stuff on XDA about this phone...but I am curious....my Wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting....depends sometime 1-2 mins into using Wifi and somethings after using it for more than 1 hour....none of my other devices have this issue and I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem with this phone...thank you
Edit: It still happens....hmm

I've been having the same issues... I have a laptop that doesn't seem to have any problems with my current router (Medialink Wireless N router I got off Amazon - good router until this issue...). It also doesn't matter how close I am to the router either. I've been sitting 2 feet from my router, and it will still continuously disconnect and reconnect. Let me know what your findings are...
Idk if this will help: settings/wifi/menu/advanced/keep wifi on during sleep. I have mine set to always, no problem here. If that doesn't help try assigning an ip through your routers dhcp.

Ok....so it does still happen....on my Netgear 7550, Linksys E4200, Linksys E3000, and almost every other network I connect to...it is really frustrating...
It happens to me when I'm in my apartment bedroom some on the far side (I normally plug it up at night to my right on the headboard) which is about furthest from my router I can get inside...but otherwise I don't have the issue when I'm closer. I've started wondering if the phone just doesn't pick up wi-fi as well, though in fairness I have a single-antenna fairly cheap Rosewill router (RNX-N150RT).
Change the wifi ip settings on the phone from dhcp to auto. Mine was set to default to dhcp.

I'd have to think you guys have bad hardware, or something else not playing nice... I have connected to MANY access points (even in different countries) and never had an issue with it dropping. I even make wifi calls for long conference calls, so I would definitely notice if it did drop...

Yeah, I have the same issue. I've discovered that it doesn't disconnect if I'm within 5 feet of the access point, which isn't exactly a great option, but does suggest maybe a software fix or a straightforward hardware hack like the Atrix 2.
Ok so even after the update the wifi still drops....even when i am right next to the router....but I can say that when i am using WiFi tether it doesn't drop the tether connection....it all seems weird to me...

Possible solution - try this and see if it works for you
Was running into this problem on my new Pho Q (too fun calling it that), where it would drop wifi and report a connection was available on the left side, then connect again, every 15s to a min.
To resolve (at least so far now for me for about an hour):
Settings - Wifi - Menu - Advanced:
Uncheck Show Reminders
It seemed that having it popup a reminder of available networks could be related to it noticing my available network every few seconds, and it seems to have helped me. Try it and report back. :highfive:
Ok, seems its still happening, but far less often at least. When I have some time, I'll try to do an A-B-A test but it does seem better than it was before disabling the setting.

Someone thought it was related to smart actions - do you have any of those enabled?
I've never had any issues with wifi - and I've used many different types of routers and security models.
Have you tried changing your wireless channel on your router or gateway? By default most start on 6, so changing it to 1 or 11 might reduce interference from nearby wireless signals. Are you a long distance from your router/gateway?

It'll disconnect and reconnect even if I'm 2 feet from the router. I just tried changing to channel 10. I'll report back how it goes. I do live in an apartment building with tons of wifi networks, so this is a good suggestion. Thanks!

Tried changing the channel, but still disconnects and reconnects often. None of my other devices (laptops, tablets, other smartphones) have any issues keeping connected. I'm still at a loss...
Anyone have any luck fixing this? When my wife's photon Q connects to our home network, no problem. No drops whatsoever. But when she connects to her work WiFi, despite a strong signal, it would drop every few minutes.
Hi guys,
Many a times the internet over Wifi becomes dead n I don't come to unless I realise I'm not getting mails n Whatsapp for quite long...
So is there an app which can dc Wifi when the internet is not working n reconnect it when it starts working....

In setting make sure you have checked the option : Notify me when open network available
So if you wi fi goes does it will disconnect but will reconnect once it is back again.

I'm not saying the wifi signal goes away... But the internet becomes dead... The wifi signal remains as it is... So I want something which will disconnect wifi when there is no Internet on the router and reconnect it when there is active Internet. hope you can understand

I've had very similar problems with my device (Sony Xperia S) and in the end, it turned out to be my Router that was causing the problem! I've had to force my router onto 'g-only' Wi-Fi to get it to be stable, now my device stays connected all the time, and also connects everytime.
I'm not saying that is what your problem is, it could be any number of things. But without more information it's impossible to tell. My logic is, that you should make it as 'easy' as possible for the device to connect to the router by checking it's wireless speed compatibility and considering forcing it to a set speed so that all your devices connect ok. Like if your router (like mine) is not n-certified, then it means it can 'possibly' run at n-speeds but is not garaunteed to do so. So, in that case, it's wise to maybe consider changing it to one of it's certified speeds.
Of course there are many other things you can consider looking at too, like trying to change the wireless 'ping' timeout on the phone to be more frequent, which uses more battery, but can keep connections alive.
Also make sure that the device is set to 'keep wifi alive' when it goes into standby.
I'm still new to Android, but I hope that at least helps a little.
It's not the problem of the phone or the router... It's the problem of the internet service provider... From his side the internet gets disconnected... So sometimes as I'm on wifi... Phone does not get Internet from wifi nor it gets from GPRS... So I want some app where when wifi is not having Internet Phone gets the internet from GPRS.. I don't know whether it is possible or not

Hi, I seem to have this problem with my phone, where it says that I don't have any Internet connection. I know that it does have connection (my laptop is connected to the same wifi / it doesn't work on mobile data either) , it just seems to think that it doesn't, until I restart the phone / wait a while.
Has anyone else had this problem? / is there a way to resolve it?

I have heard of others experiencing this before. It is a bug being addressed in 4.4.3. My phone does not have this problem, I'd suggest trying a factory reset and see if that helps.

If you use 2 fingers to swipe down, are the network and wifi bars orange?
That's the problem that I'm having when connecting and disconnecting with WIFI. A short switch to airplane mode and turning that off again mostly helps it.
The wifi bar / reception are always white, and switching to aeroplane mode doesn't make a difference.
I don't really want to try factory restoring it either, just in case it doesn't work, then I've got restore all my data again

Hey all,
I'm not sure if anybody else is having this problem, but for the last month I've been having trouble connecting to Telus routers properly. It connects to the wifi signal, but will not load websites about 70-80% of the time and many apps (YouTube, NHL, XDA, Playstation, Play Store, etc). When I switch to my data connection, the sites/app load normally. I don't seem to have this problem when connected to other places (ie. work, starbucks, etc). It's getting really annoying since I had to keep switching to my data to load a site, etc. Not to mention having to pay more because I've gone over my data serving.
At first, I thought it was my phone as it was also experiencing massive battery drain and getting really warm, so I got it RMA'd. But as soon as my new one came from Google, the exact thing happened. I couldn't even download apps/set it up while connected to my Telus router. I've already contacted Telus, and they've updated the firmware to my router, but I'm still having the same issue (altho not as bad, I think? It's only been a day).
Anybody else encountering this?

The general WiFi fixes still apply. Many people have a single router that they are having issues with, and it works fine on everything else they've tried.

Is there a specific thread/solution you are referring to? I have tried several fixes, but all to no avail. I'm not having the issue where the phone will not connect to wifi - it connects fine, and doesn't go orange. I've tried changing channels on my router, channel width, msdu/mspu, compatibility mode, etc etc. The problem only started about a month ago, and only on Telus routers (as far as I have seen).
I'm sorry if I missed something.

Sounds like you've exhausted most of the options available on the router itself that would be recommended.
Try setting your phone to only use 2.4Ghz instead of Auto or 5Ghz, and as a latch ditch effort you can also try disabling Mobile Data (toggle it off manually or automated with Tasker/Llama) while using WiFi.

And more clarification, I am able to access things like Twitter, Tumblr, G+, so I am getting an internet connection. It just won't load most webpages on Chrome/Chrome Beta, YouTube, and other apps. Quite frustrating...!

For sure anyone would be frustrated in the same situation, Hopefully you can get it solved. The mobile data trick has worked for many people with WiFi issues but is more of a temporary fix, I find.

Its definitely the router, or something on your network causing you trouble. Disconnect every other single thing from your network and try. If not....its the router. Demand a completely different one from them.

Thanks for the reply. I got a new phone, so I'm not having the battery drain issue anymore.
As for the modem/router, that's what I'm thinking. I've already talked to telus about it, but they couldn't figure it out. I think it may be a software update they pushed out, but they said they hadn't had any updates lately. I can't get a different one from them, as this is the one that has to be used for telus TV. I may end up just going up my own router to the existing modem/router. It's just frustrating as I'm experiencing this at another place that also uses telus. I mean, I can't be hooking up routers at every place that uses Telus, now can I? Lol
