I just upgraded my router to a wireless one. Firstly, it's connected via ethernet to a PC and it is happily getting internet access.
On my i5500 I get a strong wifi signal. Wifi Analyser shows the signal at max constantly. I can also connect with Gmote and it works just fine.
The problem is that I can't actually access the net at all from the phone.
So basically I know that my phone is talking to the router with no problem. It's just getting out onto the internet.
Does anyone know of a solution?
try logging into your router and change the broadcast channel to something else and test it again. it should be something like a/b/g mode... define a single channel and see if it works.
I had originally thought that was working. It did for the first few minute where I had connection but then it just dropped.
I have noticed that I have some very small bursts where I can connect.
Do you think that trying the different channels may be the solution?
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?
Still no solution. I went through every channel and every encryption method.
So far I've found that having the channel set on 'Auto' and then disabling encryption seems to give me internet connection through WIFI for at least the initial period but it eventually drops. But that's also not always.
I've also Googled it to death and found nothing. If you do find the solution please post it here and I'll do the same.
Maybe we can help each other.
make sure you entered the right password of wlan.
use a pc to connect the router and in the wlan you'll find the password.
Ok, just to clarify. My phone connects to the Router via WLAN. In fact I can use Gmote to control my PC. So the WLAN connection is great.
The problem is accessing the internet when using that connection.
I had similar problems with a router last year. I resolved the issues by flashing DD-WRT firmware. The manufacturer's firmware was junk.

I had that idea but they don't have firmware for my router yet. I have asked them if they intend to make one.
Any chance the firewall on your phone is blocking your browser from using the Wifi?
Sent from my DInc via XDA App
I have no firewall on my phone.
Ok I've tried some new stuff and they I've had the longest connectivity so far (which is about half an hour).
First I made sure my Wifi wasn't set to turn off when the screen goes to sleep. Second, according to a forum I read, Netgear recommends channel 7. If that channels doesn't work try 1,3,6,9,11,13.
I then disabled encryption.
Fortunately no one near me uses Wifi at all and I've got the kind of walls that stop the signal from getting outside.
Anyway. It's working so far but I'll monitor and report.
[edit] And I forgot. The router was checking for firmware but it wasn't actually finding so I downloaded it myself. Seems that also made a difference.
Ok. I can confirm after 2 and a half hours my internet connection is stable. I even left half way through and when I came back it connected perfectly.
So as a summary here's what I did:
1) Get latest firmware
2) Change channel to 7
3) Disable encryption
I will change encryption and see if it still works
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!
My Galaxy note 10.1 is having problems with wifi. Connecting is not a problem, but at random intervals no communication between my router and the device occurs. At such times it claims it is still connected but only the green upload arrow is on, and none of the programs, like email en the browser, work. Toggling wifi to off and then on again fixes the situation, until it happens again at a seemingly random time later. I don't have problems with any of the other devices (windows laptops, ipad etc) that connect to this router.
Anyone an idea what this is and how to fix it? Or do I just have a faulty product and should return it?
I am running the original Samsung OS.
Does this happen on EVERY router You connect with ?
As it was with SGS II there are several routers/router types that "speak different connection languages" and/or have to be readjusted in their settings ........
Try first on a different router to check wether it is really the 10.1 causing the problem ....................

Thanks for the reply! Yes it disconnects on both the router at home and at work. So it is the 10.1 causing the problem. Also it looks like the problem is getting worse. It disconnects much more frequently, to the point that it has become unusable. Am I the only one with this problem? If so I should return it.
Thanks for your help.

Turned out to be a hardware problem. Returned the device and got it replaced. Works perfectly now.
I've had my Note since 8/24. No Wi-fi problems until today. I kept loosing the connection. The Note told me about it. It automatically switched to a different access point.
I turned my router off then on. It's been at least 6 hours without a problem.
Is there any way to be certain what the source of a connection problem is?
I have just discovered my wifi turns on and off every ten seconds when I connect to a Bluetooth headset or keyboard. Maddening.

Interesting. I use a BT speaker while watching Netflix. Periodically it loses the wifi connection, and I have been blaming it on my ISP and throttling. Maybe the issue is actually something different. Need to test it tonight.

Hi,
After updating to jellybean my wireless keeps disconnecting when i try to use it (data transfer/internet).
Sometimes it reconnects after about 30 seconds, but other times it wont reconnect until i forgot the network, and connect again.
The router is about 3 feet from me, and is on an otherwise empty channel. Its currently set to use b/g/n.
After some googling, it appears that this should have been fixed in Jellybean, but google did something (When i find the link again, i will ammend this) in ICS that meant b/g/n mode didn't work.
When i get home later today, im going to try changing the mode to see if this solves my problem, however i would like to know, Are other people having this same problem ? or is it just me ?
Resetting the wireless router might help.
There's a couple of threads going about wifi after updating to JB.
Someone had mentioned a router reset fixed poor connectivity.
Sent from the inside out...
Am I seriously the only one who saw an improved WiFi signal after the JB update?
As Thats OK said, try resetting your router. If that doesn't work, set a Static IP on your tablet.
I'm having some issues with wifi, stock 4.1.2 n8010.
The connection isn't dropped, but wifi stalls or stops, particularly in the youtube app. Sometimes its stuck trying to load a video, or gives up with a network error, until I retry several times, or I turn wifi off and back on.
When browsing, its not as apparent, but there are random stalls when loading a webpage.
I've tried with a netgear and a linksys router, with WPA, WPA2, WEP, and unsecured. So far only the unsecured network shows improvement, but I'd rather not leave it like that.
I dont have access to a 5ghz signal to test.
Every other device works fine on both routers.
There was another thread with a similar issue, but it was rather old, and didn't help in this case.
Some suggestions were to turn off wifi power saving mode on similar devices, but I can't find this setting on the n8010 (wifi only)
Anything else that might help solve or troubleshoot this?
First and only bump, still no progress..
Any ideas, or anything really, are welcome
Did you solve this... I have a similar problem with n8000 ? Annoying cos i'm using it as a remote game control for tv box, and it keeps cutting out.
Thanks.
