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.

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.
Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, I have searched but couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I rooted my wifi xoom running HC 3.2 Build Number HTJ85B using the method found here

all went seemingly well but now I have such a weak wifi signal that it can't connect at all.
My computers and my Galaxy S2 (which is notorious for poor reception) still have strong signals.
I've rebooted my router but have had no luck.
I'd be pulling my hair out if I had any now.
Has anyone seen this problem and found a fix for it?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Solved - It seems that if on the first bootup when asked to setup wifi, it has to be done at that point. Previously I'd skipped this step and then went to the wireless & networks setting setup under Settings.

Great to know that there's a simple fix.
The Problem: WiFi disconnects every time i am barely downloading anything or just watching youtube, and re connects, and so on.
WiFi Modem: Zyxel P-2812HNU-F3
Ever since i bought Galaxy Nexus back in December 2011, I have had WiFi issues 24/7. I thought it was a hardware problem, but then i went to my friends house and tried his WiFi and it worked great. He had a linksys modem while I had Zyxel. Back then i honestly didnt think that the Zyxel modem could be the problem. Thats because i had Galaxy S 2 before Nexus and that phone worked great. But SGS2 was on 2.3. So i thought that Google ****ed up when they released ICS. I still do, for some of us. If you have the time, please look at this thread in Galaxy Nexus forum, where we discussed the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386884
Long story short, i tried changing lot of things in router but nothing worked. When 4.1 was available for my Nexus, i downloaded it without even thinking that there might be a WiFi fix because i had given up on WiFi. I used 3g until 4.1 was out. Anyways, a few days after i had installed 4.1 i turned on WiFi and run a test in Speedtest app. Speed was great. But the thing i worried about was WiFi being disconnected. So i tried downloading a gameloft game and no diconnect. The whole game downloaded fine. But after a few hours later i noticed after downloading some movies it sometime disconnected and reconnected. I was mad at google again. But JB was much, MUCH better then ICS. Atleast i can use my WiFi now. Sometimes it works, other times it wont.
Yesterday i got my Transformer Infinity. This device is on 4.0.3. The first thing i did when setting up device, was downloading speedtest. I ran it, and it had the same problem that ICS on my Nexus had. I began to search again why this happens in ICS. I downloaded WiFiFix manager but that didnt help at all. Many other zips and apps didnt help either. So... Today, or tonight i opened up router page and started changing wpa2 to wps, like i did months ago for Nexus. But nothing helped. Then i wanted to try omething i havent done before, so i changed 802.11b/g/n to g only. Now WiFi works greta on my Infinity and Nexus. No disconnects at all! (lol i so hope that this is a permanently fix)
I dont know how that will effect my other devices, mostly PCs. So is this a Zyxel issue or Android? WiFi with n works normal with my PCs and other android devices. This must be because of 4.0+, right? I dont think its a hardware issue at all because my Infinity behaves same way.
Should i stay on 802.11g or is there something i can do to fix my devices to work with 802.11n?
Or is there a way i can enable 802.11g for Infinity and Nexus only, and use 802.11n for the rest?
Hello,
I have never rooted my Atrix 2 and it is pretty much stock. I have researched the interwebs for the past two months from time to time to see if anyone else (and there are a lot) who have "Wifi error" when trying to turn on their wifi. It is not a router issue because I have tried at my own home, friends, relatives, McDonalds, the library, etc but Wifi error persists. Reset the phone three times, taken battery out, and leaving it off for a few hours have also been tried. I was wondering if anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have researched on this forum but I couldn't find a relavant one.
I was hoping that upgrading to ICS will fix the issue but I cant even upgrade to ICS because the update has been fixed to be downloaded via wifi only. I know it is OTA but was wondering if anyone has packaged/is it packageable to be downloaded off the internet?

Not sure about your Wifi problems but here is the thread you can find the OTA package to download. Its posted in General section yesterday...give a thanks to OP of that thread if that helps you...
Hi, I own an h60-l12 and if I transfer some file from my phone to my nas over wifi I get very slow transfer speed (100kbps). Even when I watch some video from my nas with dlna I get some buffering and this not happens with my galaxy s2 an galaxy s4.
I have read the review of the honor 6 on anandtech and they also noted a poor wifi peformance. Any solution for this problem ? Maybe a custom kernel can help...
Did you find a solution for this? Same issue here..i can't even see most Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi reception is too weak. .

@nothingman1976 , I've recently upgraded to the latest lolipop 5.10.1 and still have very very weak wifi signals, almost can't use the wifi if not very close to the routers. It happens with 90% of the routers.
Did you find any solution please? Is it only us or is everyone accepting this ridiculous performance? I am considering returning the phone as I no-wifi is a showstopper for me...let me know
thanks in advance!

I don't have problem with wifi signals with the 3 or 4 router I used, but even with lollipop transfer speed from my nas is very slow.
I think is a limitation of the device.
I got the same problem, but my gf and my brother got the same phone with no problem on the same router... used to work just fine, but lately it has slowed down - is it possible that the problem is external? Maybe dust has penetrated my phone? I work with metal, they dont...
