Hoping someone has a solution. My wifi keeps disconnecting/reconnecting. I'm running TNT 3.1.1. Also the signal is really low even though I'm next to the router. I've searched around, but can't seem to find an answer.
Thanks.
Right there with you on this one. I can't get more then 10 feet from my router before I lose my connection. Very annoying to say the least. I wonder if this is software or hardware.
I have the same and I am using vegan b3. I don't recall having this issue while using tnt 2.2. Or the stock. Anyways, I have noticed that it only happens when I am on a page more than a few mins such as reading an article, etc. If I am watching movie(flash) or playing online game, it is fine. I am suspecting it has something to do with the battery management.
I'm running stock 3389 with GApps.
I get full signal when I'm by my router and around my apt. I have a Linksys WRT610N with DDWRT firmware. It's running on a 2.4Ghz full N radio. I used a wifi app called Wifi Analyzer on my phone to find the best channel to set the router to, as in apts. you know many people are using the same channel and this can lead to signal loss on your devices.
Anyway, it sounds like you just need to find a less crowded channel maybe, I don't THINK it's the device. Are you using G or N or both? When I was using the router's 2.4Ghz in G/N mode I saw a slight signal drop throughout the place which is essentially why I switched to pure N and then just set up a legacy network on another router for wifi G stuff.
I had this problem not with my non-existant G tablet, but my latop, cell and other wifi connecting devices.
I changed the chane l# my wifi was broadcasting on and it fixed it. Maybe you guys can try that.
In my case, it is not a signal issue since I always have full bar and there is not many wifi hotspots around my house. I am used to it now and when I see the wifi icon is gone, I just click the location of the wifi icon, and within a sec or two, the wifi icon will appear. I will flash to tnt. 3.1 soon, hopefully the problem will,disappear.

I havent used VegaN - is there any setting that could possibly be turning off wifi when the system is idling? In phones there's a wifi setting that turns it off after a certain time idle. I know it's unlikely but just checking all the bases.
Yea +1 on this problem

This appears to be the case. If so, it completely ignores my WiFi Sleep Policy, which I have set at "Never".
I have the problem whether stock ROM or not. Love the tablet, but this is frustrating.
My experience is that the device is finicky with some routers. I actually have two to test with, and early on one would work fine and the other would fail constantly.
Some suggestions, for testing:
- Change the channel (already suggested)
- Turn off all security to see if that works better (again, just for testing)
- If it's an N Router, change it to G only.
if one of these changes "fixes" it, at least you know what direction to look in.

It's also very sensitive to interference I think. My neighbors have dozens of APs on every Inglewood channel available, and the tablet gets thoroughly confused. It seems to like G a lot better than N in this situation (makes sense, N in general is more interference prone than b/g). In another place with only a single high power B/G/N router visible at all (nice thick concrete walled building), it's only done the disconnect/reconnect loop to me once in several days.
Time to do some disassembling and see if there's room for a better antenna, but I'm not prepared to rule out a broken driver just yet. Especially with all the other sleep/suspend problems we have. Or break out the buckets of RF blocking paint...
Thanks Roebeet. I tried a couple things. Assigned a static IP to the tablet which seems to have stabilized the signal, it doesn't drop out as much, but reception was still only 1-2 bars.
Just for the sake of it, I also reset the router back to factory default to see what would happen. Funny enough, the signal reception on the tablet improved from 1-2 bars to 3-4 bars, but once I re-entered my settings it fell back.
I still can't connect if SSID is hidden. I'm using a Dlink DGL 4300.
What routers are you guys using? Especially if you can get it to connect to a hidden SSID.
I had this problem too, signal was always fine though. After coming out of idle i would notice the WiFi is off. checking it in settings could watch it turn on start searching and then in three seconds the WiFi would turn off and then on and searching again, and continue the cycle. Not sure what is causing that, but in the WiFi setting i set the WiFi to never turn off, even if the device is sleeping and Ive never had the problem yet.
This just started with mine too (running 3389 and Enhancement Pack). I went to my router and switched channels and switched to 802.11 G Only, and it's up and running again. Strange that it worked really well for the first 12 hours or so with no changes to my router. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.

I have the same problems. The only way I worked around it was by turning airplane mode off then either turning off my router or moving away from any wifi signal. Might try changing the channel... when my internet comes back on(adhoc tethering atm)
Looks like its my router. I took tablet to a friends house and it gets a strong reception.
I know it sounds weired but try to clean Market application's cache.
It works in my case. Or (if it is some kind of memory issue) cache for all other apps.
I have noticed that it is not that bad of a problem and have heard that it is a "feature" of the gtab, if anyone can elaborate on this? There has got to be a driver/kernal that can override and keep the wifi on. Any older gtab users every remember this as a problem? If so, what did you do about it?
In my case, have had gtab for about a week. Using factory settings initially, everything seemed to work fine. Then it started randomly dropping wifi.
couldn't figure if it was hardware or software. Talked to customer service.
Restored tablet to factory specs--worked fine. Started loading on some extras, checking wifi after each load. Bingo--when I loaded Adobe flash player, wifi started kicking off.
Have tried it with several versions (10.2, 10.4)--same results. Not sure what to try next.
My wifi tends to drop from a solid connection (50-65 mbps) to a crappy connection (2-5 mbps) no matter what rom I am running. Was wondering if anyone else has this problem? Possible fix?
It will constantly drop data connectivity...market will give error, browser gives error.
Connection starts at the solid levels then within 1 minute or so drops to the crappy level, with excellent signal. that's what makes me really mad..it's got perfect signal and **** connection. any help appreciated.
Hi,
What ROM are you using?
I think you should first check your wireless LAN/router location, modem and LAN setup through yr desktop. Check if it is any enable firewall in yr setup, try to disable it. Test wifi connection using yr laptop, check it any drop or not. Try again at same time using laptop and yr vibrant in several distance from wireless router. Try also WPS if you have it.
If your laptop no problem, and phone wifi drop, you might to try reflashing ROM.
Before that, you may try also Wifi analyser, install it from Market.
Good luck.
no firewall on router. get great signal on desktop(no laptop), great speeds from router on my old g1. only the vibrant. doesn't matter which rom, 2.2 or 2.2.1. they all do it. starting to think it's a faulty unit...
wish my g1 had a decent camera on it, i'd record how fast the wifi drops.
oh, i set up a static IP since posting this..it's helped somewhat with the error boxes poppin up but the connection is still dirt slow.
edit: i'm on stock kb1 w/tigerblood v3 kernal ATM..been on bionix v, most of EDT's releases all with same result..only thing i haven't flased is CM7 cuz it's still an early build. oh and Frost..don't like white so it never made the cut.
Hi,
I think any ROMs have no problem on wifi, except originally a broken unit. I dont know how you flash ROMs, but try to a clean install starting from ODIN and stock vibrant on each flashing.
- Is your wifi secured?
- Do you use internet security on your desktop? Check the firewall or network/LAN setup managed by security package on comp desktop, and allow your new phone device.
Good luck.
All of my devices used to do this until I changed some settings on my router. It was set to only handle 15 devices at a time, so I set it to 50 and I had no more problems. Maybe yours is set to a very low number, I can't remember the exact settings, but hope I helped

Nope I can handle up to 150 devices in my dhcp client list...not that that really matters seeing as how I got it set on a static ip and its still dropping signal. Thanks though..starting to feel like it's a bad unit..i don't want to exchange it though.its got great gps. Any other ideas??
Edit: forgot the other guy..wifi is secured. Wpa2 personal. No firewall on desktop..wouldnt matter anyways.
Little info on router...linksys e4200 dual band n with the 5 ghz band disabled because no thing on the network usesit ATM. Router is a beast really and performs awesome with every other device in the house.

Hi All,
I cannot claim that I discovered this solution. It was posted in some Cisco forums. But this worked for me.
My problem was that I could never get consistent throughput with the Linksys E4200 router via WiFi with my Transformer Prime. Throughput would be good for a short period of time and then it would either stop or spit out bits and bytes in small chunks. This behavior was odd, and I had a hard time figuring out what was causing it. Because of the way it occurred, I didn't think it was a hardware problem, the way the GPS situation is.
I had thought a firmware fix from ASUS might resolve the problem. I think there is a problem with the ASUS driver software, but you also can resolve this problem by disabling QoS, specifically WMM, under the Gaming and Applications settings for the E4200. Most people can access these settings by using 192.168.1.1 to connect to their router or by using Cisco Connect and opening Advanced Settings.
Good luck. I hope this will help some of you. This may also work with other routers.

I cannot wait to get home to try this.
I have been playing around with both my E4200 and the prime for months and resolved that either my walls are made of lead or the prime/e4200 was rubbish.
Thanks man! I have the same router and this change definitely helped me out.
When you get ANY router always turn off that QOS/WISH type garbage. Anything that specs or touches your signal it will just slow it down.
Is QOS enabled by default on the e4200?
hope this change helps
I recently upgraded from the WRT54G to the Linksys e4200v2 and I have noticed that I have problems reconnecting to the wireless after extended period of tablet sleep. Turning off, then back on wireless on the tablet fixes the problem, but annoying no less. This change was immediately noticeable from the first time I joined the new network, no software/firmware updated at the time.
I looked at the v2 setting and under applications & gaming, QoS, there is a wireless area at the top of the settings page. The WMM support setting is enabled by default. I have set to disabled, I will see I'd there is a noticeable difference.
>you also can resolve this problem by disabling QoS, specifically WMM
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-features/30938-dont-mess-with-wmm
"Since WMM support is required for products to be certified for 802.11n, WMM comes enabled by default in all Wi-Fi Certified n APs and wireless routers. So even if you don't have any WMM-aware devices on your network, leave WMM enabled or you may find your clients connecting only at 54 Mbps rates."
Not saying it doesn't do what the OP said, but you may want to run before/after throughput tests with your other devices.
bah didn't realise that fact that I'm on DDwrt so I probably don't have any Linksys firmware issue. Nonetheless disabling WMM did give me a boost of 2 or 3mbps
unfortunately the prime never syncs at higher than 54mbps
Most routers have QoS enabled by default. A long, LONG time ago, I bouted it out w/ Motorola because the issues I was having with one of their routers was found to be due to QoS.
However, all 15+ times they had me restore it to factory default, QoS was re-enabled, so their troubleshooting was counter-active to an issue they were causing from the get go.
The original firmware for the e4200 v1 is really rubbish. The signal was bad, speeds were fluctuating, the range was worse than with my 6 years old Belkin.
I tried numerous different settings, it was better but it still sucked...
Then i discovered Toastman's tomato firmware.
The flashing process is the same as with the original firmware (really simple).
I have used this firmware - http://www.4shared.com/file/KOjVG1Ge/tomato-E4200USB-NVRAM60K-12874.html?
But you can use other firmware from this link - http://www.4shared.com/dir/v1BuINP3/Toastman_Builds.html
!!!Just make sure that it has e4200 in it's filename.!!!!
Instructions for flashing are in the link below, in the third post
http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/linksys-e4200-which-tomato-firmware.34493/
The configuration is easy - first you need to find the channel which works best for you in your enviroment, and i also enabled FRAMEBURST and set preamble to SHORT.
I now have a ultra stable connection, the speeds have tripled, and the range is superb.
Syslink should be ashamed that we need to flash custom firmware for their products to actually work:/

Thanks... was wondering if Tomato had been released for the e4200v1 yet... I'll be giving this a try later, as I've always herd good things about Tomato firmware.
Honesty lately, I've serisouly been considering getting the new Asus RT-N66U router. I like the fact that it has external antennas, & reviews have been great. Not to mention you can change its firmware out too, unlike the e4200v2, which uses hardware that does not allow for firmware changes.

I have an E2000 and an E3000, both running dd-wrt. In my case it's not WMM specifically, but a subset of that called "no acknowledgment". With that enabled none of my Android devices will stay connected.
As posted above, my experience is that I lose my n speeds the moment I disable WMM.

You do lose N speeds, but the throughput is far superior and enables you to download files more quickly as well as view hi def YouTube videos with vastly improved smoothness. At least that is my experience. YMMV, though.

Hey.
I just got myself a 201 yesterday and I already experienced some problems with my wifi.
I have a 3700 from NEtgear, so dual band wifi 2.4 and 5Ghz.
From the prime I can only see the 2.4 network... And even so, the wifi connectivity seems unstable. I often have to refresh stuff in browser or applications cause the connection dropped.
This is quite annoying. I'm fairly confident my network is working correctly cause I am using other device with it , among them, a galaxy tab and with those devices, I do not encounter such problems.
FYI I have the .21 firm already.
Prime only does 2.4ghz and there's been a big known issue with wifi. Don't be surprise when of your gps is also crap. Also try going through this section ( general) for all known issues a possibe fixes.
Honnetly i tried to browse the forum but there are so many information , and those even differ depending on the firm, it's not easy to get a clear pic.
What is the main pb with Wifi ?
Oh and I didn't know the wifi on the prime was limited to 2.4 band... That's odd.
Well i need to learn how to read the specifics

Honestly the 2.4 has better range than 5 anyway. Unless you are doing wifi file transfers it won't matter, but even at that it won't matter because with a cord it still takes a while for the memory to write. Basically you would gain NOTHING by using wifi because the memory writes slow. That being said the problem with the wifi dropping seems to have been mostly fixed with fw updates. Weak signal is thought to be due to the metallic back plate blocking the antenna from receiving a strong signal (same with gps). Other issue that could be affecting wifi is if you are streaming to bluetooth (ie headphones or file transfer) at the same time as using wifi which is a known issue as well.

Not really odd, its the norm and most tablets have only 2.4Ghz. As stated the 2.4Ghz has more range than the 5Ghz and will more readily transmit through walls. Yes 5Ghz has a higher data transfer rate but for the most part the 2.4Ghz transfer rates far exceed any current internet connection available. The only time it would be benificial is doing file transfers over wifi but then again the connection would be faster than the read write speeds. I find I get a better transfer rate over 2.4Ghz wifi than I do over USB but still dont use that often. Most of my mdeia resides on either the MicroSd or Sd card in the dock and I load data on those cards via my laptop with a USB3.0 reader which blows any other method out of the water by a long shot!

True, my ATP has serious wifi throughput/range issues on the latest firmware.
Hey guys,
tried to search if any other problems like this exist...
My WiFi seems to be disconnecting often... Meaning it still shows as connected, but it wont load internet pages or download anything / stop at some time downloading.
Now i tried to look at my WiFi with WiFi analyzer... at it seems that I am on the best channel for my area... but still... I also tried 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz same results it seems...
I am not happy with it... it seems so unstable, that even at home often i use 3G just because it doesn't crash that much... if the WiFi works i get great speeds though... but it seems like a hit and miss....
any idea?
You may ha e.faulty connectors as that is the problem w some of the one xs also go to WiFi settings switch it from auto to 2.5 GHz idk if 5ghz works well or not

I just updated the firmware on my router as well. Well check back after a couple days but so far so good
Wi-Fi not the greatest for me either. Running a WRT54GL which is one of the most rock solid routers ever with Tomato never have issues with it on my 3D or any other devices. Having similar issues you are having. Sometimes just not staying connected even though it shows connected. Other times no wi-fi on when I wake the phone. I'm guessing it's bugs other people have reported similar problems. Going to see how it performs after the next OTA update I'm hoping they fix some stuff. Also I hope they fix the very annoying set time zone message. Not sure what caues that but you are certainly not alone with the wi-fi issues.
I currently have mine set to 2.4Ghz only not auto since I don't use N for my phone there is no need for it and it sucks more battery at least it did on my 3D.
I would just hang tight and see what the next OTA brings.
This is disturbing. There seems to be a great deal of variation in build quality (i.e. Wifi issues, screen light bleed, data issues, etc.). I have had none of these issues with my phone. However, multitasking is a joke, and google wallet is broken after working previously. My phone is none stock at this point.

Posting it here as well in case someone remembers how hot their phone was when their wifi drops..
Just throwing in my experience for the record...
I'm a network administrator for a living so I know a few things about making wifi work. In a nutshell my Evo LTE will not maintain a stable conneciton to *any* wifi N network under any settings. I've tried mutiple routers and multiple ROMs for my phone and none would work properly. I'll spare you the details but channels, encryption, spectrum, root, preamble... nothing would work on N.
WiFi G = rock solid
WiFi N = sucks more than Paris Hilton
Since I concluded that G works perfectly I've just made sure to stick with G networks. Not worth fighting Sprint for a new phone that may very well do the same thing for me. :victory:
Not sure if you guys are having the same issue I've been experiencing, but my wifi issues have went away since using Mozilla firefox. I messed with my router settings, used 2.4 ghz, 5ghz, wifi n, wifi g, different security configurations, a bunch of different wifi apps, just about every browser on the market and as odd as it sounds, only Mozilla has solved my problem. If I use any other browser, I get hang-ups and phone gives me the impression that wifi isn't working. I don't know why or how mozilla works great while all other browsers' performance is inconsistent and frustrating but its a fact. I strongly recommend anyone with "wifi problems" give mozilla a try.
has anyone found a solution to this wifi issue?
i can connect to my home router with no problem, very stable. but outdoors, on cablewifi, or optimumwifi the connection is terrible. the signal shows connected, but there is no data being uploaded or downloaded. i think it might have something to do with channel congestion, but my friends iphone has no issues whatsoever.
so whats the deal with the evo's wifi radio???
