Hi all,
I do not know whether someone got this problem. I got XDA Orbit 2 for the past week.
Wifi is ok when I am not using it. However it seems that when I use an application that uses WIFI continously WIFI just disconnects. I can notice this from the icon that is on top.
Will a change on my WIFI router channel have any effect on the drop?
Thanks

Have you updated ur ROM or using standard one? If you have updated ROM check the radio version is that recomended, this will have an impact on wifi, bluetooth, i/r etc.
If using standard, delete the settings on ur device. Also check ur router settings, sometime routers need turning off and on again.
good luck.
i haven't checked the rom. I just downloaded and upgraded. I'll take your advice. although the wifi router isn't really a problem since my Alpine is doing fine at 80- 85% signal bar. I really think it's the Prophet that has the problem.
Hi guys, not sure if its been brought up before, but my nexus one frequently disconnects from my home wifi, I don't know the exact intervals but once in a while when I check my phone, it'd be disconnected and when i look at the wifi settings, it would say connection unsuccessful and i would have to manually reconnect it. Seems like a major hassle to me, shouldn't be my router either as my laptops and other devices have no such problem.
Some facts:
Router DIR-625 (set on G and N)
Interestingly, my router reports my nexus one on 802.11 N band.. which is curious, I thought it wasn't enabled yet?
The signal strength is about 4 - 5 bars (only seperated by one wall)
Whenever I click on reconnect it reconnects without any problems
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem here?
change your WiFi sleep policy to never sleep. and also the nexus has a WiFi bug. check that setting first though, cause its on by default which I don't know why.

I remember having issues with my connection..I upgraded the router software, e voila...
I had similar problems with a DIR-655. I turned off MAC address filtering and updated the firmware (I was 3 years and about 6 iterations behind) and I haven't had anymore problems.
Edit: BTW, The N1 had flawless connectivity on all my other Wi-Fi routers (work, friend's house, etc) which happened to be Linksys
Hello everyone,
Recently I upgraded to the 3.1OS and after that I have been having some problems connecting to wifi networks.
I was at my parents house this weekend for fathers day and tried to connect to the network. Every time I connected it would bring the whole network down. On my tablet it would connect, then the signal would go "out of range" and when I looked at my phone I noticed it was back on 3g. After several attempts I determined it was my tablet that brought down the network.
I had been previously been able to connect using the 3.0 OS.
The network provider is Fios.
My tablet is unrooted
Any suggestions or ideas?
Hi, I am experiencing the same problem with 3.0.1 the wifi connection was working just fine. After I upgraded to 3.1 I am loosing signal, the strenght of the signal is much much lower as it used to be.
What I read in 3.1 they downgraded the wifi driver, maybe this is the reason.
T.
Is it possible to check any logs on your router (if it supports it) and see what exactly happened..
It is not about the router, my PC or my Desire get full strength signal. Even with EEE pad before update to 3.1 I had no wifi drops.
So form my point of view the driver is the issue.
There was some mention of people having issues with the non-NA supported channels like 13 and 14. Are you guys using these?
workaround
While not an answer to your specific problem, you could use the wifi on you phone and then tether your Transformer to it...that way you wouldnt be using up the 3G from your phone , still using the wifi technically..
Just an idea to get around your problem...
Was using channel 11, then I found out a lot of other routers are using 11 also.
So i switched to 9. Helped a little bit, but still not optimal.
Let`s see how it evolves. :-D

Hi guys, I'm having problems with my WiFi. My WiFi is randomly disconnecting. When I go to WiFi settings it only shows me 1 network (the 1 I'm connected to). It says me the network is saved and some security details. When I turn WiFi off and on it shows me all the networks in my region again and says I'm connected.
This problem seems to appear more frequently in the evening.

Using static IP may solve your disconnecting problem. But I haven't faecd the rest.

Get WiFi Analyzer and look for overlapping APs in the signal strength per channel view (the one with the 'hills'). Chances are this is your problem. If possible change your AP to a less busy channel. Also walk and pause through your home with it to 'bad' spots. I have more disturbing APs from neighbours in one side of my house compared to another.

This is good advice. Find the strongest channel and use it by changing the channel in the router settings.

My dad did this already. We have 2 modems to extend range, the 2nd one automatically connects when coming close. Is it possible that my room (where i experience the problem a lot) is at the border of connecting with the 2nd one?

Signal is main issue, why not try some signal enhancing adopters or maybe problem is battery apps like juicedefender which automatically disconnects WiFi..
Hi all..
I bought this device SM-T230 yesterday and am not satisfied with the WiFi, it's very very weak, and I can't use the Internet unless am sitting near the adapter I can't use it from the other room, is it a major issue with the device or just mine?
Turned out that the device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting continously every few seconds, please help me.

go into wifi advanced settings and set frequency band to auto/5ghz/2.4ghz , experiment
or check you home for phone lines that aren't filtered
if you have been having weather troubles call your isp, it could likely be something at their end.
Is it just the tablet that has this problem or can you check with a laptop or a phone to see if that's the problem...

My Tab 4 7 inch has this same issue. The wifi is horrible on this device.
However, if you go into wifi settings
Forget the network
Add a new wifi
Manually add a network
Type in the Broadcast SSID and auth information
It's better - not "good" but better.
I can't use my chromecast 60% of the time without walking out my room to the router and starting the cast there. Network latency is insane. I have 10 or 15 other wifi devices and they are all fine. It's just the Tab 4 that has an issue.
