Acer Iconia B1-730 wifi connection dropping - General Questions and Answers

My B1-730 tablet keeps dropping its wifi connection, despite being only 12 feet away from the router. Often I need to reboot it to get the connection back (turning wifi off/on and airplane mode on/off doesn't work). This is now happening at least once per day. It's running Android v4.4.2.
Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Just check if you are facing this problem on your other devices if you have on the same wifi connection. I was also facing this problem couple of days ago then i got my broadband line checked and the issue was solved.

I have same problem. when i comeback after work wifi disconecting.... i have to reconnect manualy wifi and then it working ok.... This problem I see when tablet is in sleep mode during a few hours....
It could be a DHCP issue. If possible try to assign the Note a static IP address on the router. Not all Wi-Fi radios work equally well with all Wi-Fi routers. For example, the i9100 had a particular dislike for D-Link routers. I travel a lot and haven't had any issues with the Note connecting, staying connected, and re-connecting in any of the hotels or airports I've used it in.

When I first received my 10.1 Note, my wifi didn;t work and I almost returned it as a result. I reset it to factory and magically it started to work. I suggest you do this also.
Ever since then it has been flawless.
I also had this problem out the box on day one with my wifi connection at home. All I did was turn off with the toggle, unplugged my router from the power source, waited one minute, flipped toggle to "On" again and boom - problem solved, has dropped a connection since.
Hope this helps.
Try disable wmm in your router. it fixed mine.

Had the same problem with mine - constant wifi disconnects. Got it switched over and the new one has been working happily all day without a single drop :good:
If you have the problems described in this thread don't delay, get it swapped out asap.
Wifi problem. Crazing.

Go to WiFi in setting/ advanced setting and make sure keep WiFi on during sleep always on.

WiFi problem DIR855
I have the same problem that the Note 10.1 connects to my WiFi network but no data is passed through.
I did a factory reset and then it started to work as it should but after a couple of hours it stopped again.
The D-link DIR-855 has both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wifi band so I enabled the 5GHz band and I was able to connect to the SSID and access internet, nut only for a few hours.
Now it connects to the netwok but I can´t access internet nor my LAN.
At home I have Huwei router and there it works without problems.
I wonder who to blame if it´s Dlink or Samsung.
Anyone have a solution to this?
I have applied the latest FW

Flaky wifi - frequently needs disconnecting and reconnecting when using 5GHz wifi

Anyone else having issues with 5GHz wifi becoming unresponsive and needing to be turned off and immediately back on to kick it into working?
I've got Smart Network Switch and Download Booster (switch to mobile data if wifi is no good; use wifi + LTE) both switched off, so they shouldn't be a factor.. I even switched them back on and then off just to be sure that they were in fact off.
After a painful day spent trying to transfer data to the new phone, and installing all of my usual apps - having to disable and renable wifi at least 50 times throughout the day - I decided to switch from using my 5GHz wifi to 2.4GHz (same router), and it now seems fine. Switching back to 5, and I end up back with the same result - wifi will work fine for a while before stopping.
My Galaxy S5 has no issue using the 5GHz (and neither do any other devices I have), so it doesn't appear to be the router (Asus RT-AC87U) at fault unless there's just some compatibility issue with the S6.
Phone is G920I (Australian version, 64GB)

Pretty sure this is a Android 5.0 problem. My nexus 6 has this problem as well. I have the AC68U. I am getting my GS6 tomorrow so I will see if it has the problem then. No problems on 2.4 like you.
Turn off the stupid Smart Network Switching.
noticed exactly the same thing, all other devices in the house are perfect, but the S6 loses connection now and then even when next to the router.
No issues using my 5ghz wifi network and the S6, have not had to disable/enable it once for any reason. Tmobile version.
You might try getting yours replaced, 50 times in a day is insane.
Thanks for the replies guys - oddly comforting to see that some others are having the same issue..
@byronhinson - Can I ask what brand of router you have (since both Prod1702 and I are having the issue with Asus routers + Lollipop)
I have exactly the same issue and on top of that the phone gets laggy when it losts the wifi!
However with classic wifi (not 5Ghz), it works fine all the time!
GS6 32Gb - Australian version as well
Same issue here. I hope they will fix it.
No issues here, 5ghz all day long well when I'm home

I have a AC68U as well (or the T-Mobile 'Cellspot' version of the same), and my Galaxy S6 stays solidly connected to my 5ghz network all day.

Look at the silver lining - at least you didn't spend an entire day unawares and having to constantly switch wifi off and on to kick it back into gear, before *eventually* (after all of your transferring of data and installation of apps was done) thinking to switch to 2.4 and having it work as I did

I had the same problem and my router also is ASUS AC87U , wifi disconnected problem can solved after upgrade your router's firmware.
but there is a very serious problem I found.
on ASUS AC87U 5G wifi + Galaxy S6 , it drain battery very fast and get very high cpu usage at screen off.
it means the phone always keep running and can't get in sleep mode.
connected to another brand router it just be fine, very stable and no battery drain, So, I don't know this is ASUS's problem or Samsung's, that makes me very annoyed :crying:
hope someone can told me how to solve, thanks!

Argh - trying to update the router firmware was the first thing that I tried when I found the issue.. Stupid bloody router kept on saying that I had the latest version, but checking the Asus website shows that there's a later version from 2nd April that requires a factory reset after installing - 2 of the things fixed are around wifi issues..
Updated and so far so good, but I guess a couple of time will tell. I'll keep an eye on battery/cpu usage and see how it goes..
Hopefully a router firmware update will fix the 5GHz issue for others that are having the issue too, at least for those with Asus routers.
For all of you who are having this issue, how is your battery life?
Just got my S6 today, same router as the OP (Asus RT-AC87U) and same problem on 5Ghz. Constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to Wifi.
2.4Ghz works fine
5Ghz work very solid on other devices so i'm not really sure what is the problem.
Galaxy tab S 105 and 8.4 works fine on the same router's 5Ghz network.
5GHz for dummies
I was having similar problems, where two Samsung devices in the house were both having difficulty remaining connected to the AC87U router for any length of time. Sometimes they would continually report Authentication Error but then connect happily after a reboot. Other times, they just would not connect.
In my case, it boiled down to dumb user error. I was using the same SSID for both bands, but had mistyped a character in the password for the 5GHz band and so was only able to connect to 2.4GHz band.
Perhaps this will save somebody else some trouble!

wifi sleeping with screen on

Well I recently bought a Xperia z5 white and have problems with wifi. It disconnect when I using like watching videos on YouTube or browsing.
It seems like is sleeping the WiFi I have Mm anyone know how to solve this?
Same issue here, it's happened since I bought my Z5 6 months ago...
Also, the 5GHz Wireless tends to disconnect randomly when screen is turned off (All power saving crap is disabled I believe), so I have to stick to 2.4GHz wireless if I want to have it "stable".
I downgrade the phone to lollipop, still same problem about sleeping connection.
Can't use wifi properly. Useless phone ????
I test this firmware and 0 problems with wifi
All others versions have the WiFi dropping connection problem

WiFi issues

Hi,
I have some WiFi issues. After a time no data can be send and received over wifi, but I'm still connected. I have to reconnect wifi and after this browsing the net is ok.
I have this on 3 different wifi Hotspots
Anyone also have this issues?
I have it too on LG G4. Anyone know how to fix it?
I have the same problem if i move to fast away (about 15m not out of range).
It could be my dual 2.4GHz/5GHz Network, but I'm too lazy to test it

I have it on both 2,4 and 5 GHz.
The last hour I can't connect to any SSID. And suddenly it works.
I Hope, that this is a software/firmware issue and they fix it in the next update that hopefully come soon.
Boy, am I glad you are making this thread to report on this issue! I am having the very same problem and it is driving me bonkers!
I am trying to review this device for my YouTube channel and this wifi issue is NOT helping. So far I have tried booting in safe mode, connecting to other wifi networks and reconfiguring my internet to no longer bridge together the 2.4&5 GHz bands.
What I am finding is that safemode has no effect but I can connect to my in-law's network just fine. When I changed my network settings I was able to show that it simply just doesn't want to fetch data from the 5GHz band. It works just fine on the 2.4GHz band but now I am not enjoying my potential wifi speeds. Sony really needs to fix this. The last thing I was going to try was doing a factory reset on the device but I don't think it will matter.
If you have wifi issues, try to change channel, etc- from 13 to 11, or try update wifi firmware.
June update is around the corner, highly likely next week. That one might include fixes also.
But as an established youtuber I would reach out to Sony directly to get confirmation on the issue and potential fix.
Also place to get direct answers would be talk.sonymobile.com
I cant say I've had any issues, but I'll keep an eye out. I've streamed music and radio stations for hours with no issues, and I'm guessing this problem would present itself there.
I can confirm I am also having this issue on more than one wifi connection.
I hope this is a software issue.
I can't explain, but the last 2 days no issues. WiFi works without problems on both 2,4 GHz and 5HGz.
Also the "bug" in battery stats with high WiFi time (more than 300 days!!) is gone.
I also have a wifi problem , but I have two access points linksys ea4500 and wrt1900ac on the first one it works perfectly on the second one stays connected but there is no internet, My issue specifically applies to wifi ac otherwise it works well... similar to my pervious lg g4
Same here. I can confirm that this can happen even on 2.4 or 5ghz wifi networks and that it's not a channel issue because I live in countryside with barely any other wifi networks.
But the problem is so much strange. For example, it will stop to work randomly when transfering data, watching youtube videos or such things but this never happens when using chromecast. I can pause, play, the videos, etc. with no issues. Like if it needed some heavy traffic to start having issues.

Same issue on my xz premium. Using both 2,4 and 5GHz at home. Having the issue also on all of my 3 WiFis at work.
WiFi is draining out my battery. 60% or more and around 30days of usage (having my device for a week now)
At the same WiFi at home are several devices connected without any issues. Xperia X compact, Z5 compact, ipad, Sony Soundbar. Sometimes my XZ Premium shows me "connected to WiFi without Internet"
This is the worst Xperia experience ever
Hej, I have create a sony mobile post about our issues with xz premium wifi problem, if we post in sony mobile support page there will higher chances to be fixed.

I've also posted the same. And many others also. Let's see what happens
My WiFi says it's been running for 34 days+ but my connection on 2.4 has been good and solid from the start. I have no problem with there being an internet connection. I am fairly certain that the two issues are related in some way and some are having more problems than others.
I haven't had any problems, but then I did a complete reset of the phone a few days after I received it. When in doubt, that might be something you can try.
Turn off Smart cleaner.
That's the cause of WiFi disconnection and battery drain.
I have no wifi issues (2.4 only - no 5 for me) but it says that wifi has been running for 669 days. LOL
I sure hope Sony fixes these silly bugs.

Wifi stopped working

Hi suddenly my WiFi stopped working now I am not able to connect to any WiFi network.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
As of today I am having the same issue; I have tried multiple networks to no avail. Booting into safemode and turning on/off wifi does not work. If I find a solution I will update this post accordingly.
Me too. I believe it happened after I installed the May security update.
Just started happening to me about 4 hours ago. First it went in and out a couple times but I was within say ten feet of the router. Now I'm one room away, but have line of sight to to the router, and I have no Wi-Fi connection. It will come up as poor with no reception and then connect but never get internet. LTE works fine, wifi worked fine all day even.
Not working WiFi. I can not even turn the WiFi tumbler ON, some security updates Fixed Bluetooth. Do you guys have the same issue?
My wifi also stopped working. I was on P beta and it was working fine but yesterday simply stopped.
I rolled back to 8.1, same problem. Rolled back to 7.1 and nothing.
It only gets wifi if place my phone on top of my router.
You guys think it is hardware related? Because it didnt fell or anything, it just stopped working overnight.
Same, it happened after I upgraded to P
My wifi stopped working too. I tried everything.. it will not connect to any wireless access point anywere
I tried going back to stock image 9.0 and tested NDE63V (Standard) and still nothing.
I get and see signals but fails to connect.
any ideas?
dam...this sucks..time to dump this pixel and buy something else
I looked on eBay.. a few listed as Bad WiFi
Apparently it's fairly common on eBay and on the forums with no fix for it
