[Q] please help....... wifi is not working ??? - Acer Iconia A500

Hi
i'm a biggener i installed taboonay with every thing ok. afetr ihad worked 3g hwuawi on my iconia a500 i lost wifi connection. wifi is fine with my laptop, but it doesnot work with iconia. even i updated to 2.2 .
wifi is working but can not find my home wifi network !!!
please help.
1- i installed taboonay 2.1
2- wifi ok
3- 3g dongle ok
4- wifi not working
5-update 2.2
6- still wifi not working
7- searching the internet for solution
i'm thinking of doing the following
1- reinstall taboonay 2.1
2- update to 2.2
3- 3g dongle
4- try wifi ????
what do ya think of this idea?

Seems I read somewhere awhile back, that the wifi won't work with the dongle inserted.
At least that's what I remember, and it seems your steps confirm this. I could be wrong though, as I use a 501.
I suppose, when you remove the dongle, Wifi starts working again?
Also, one other thing to try which seems to help a lot of people with home routers. Try changing channels on your router through the router admin.

Same problem

3g also work whenever i chose wifi mode or wifi and 3g!!!

I had this problem as well, but I hadn't installed anything, it simply just stopped working. I erased the iconia from
My network, then added it back. On the iconia I forgot the home network, and then found it again, re set the network settings, rebooted and re-installed the firmware and it was working again. Haven't had a problem since

Seems sensible as you can't use wifi and 3G on the A501 at the same time either, its one or the other....

[Q] Can't connect to WiFi Tether

Hey all,
So I've been tethering wifi from my Evo 4G to my A500 for some time now, and only in the past few days has it decided to stop working. I've encountered the bug where it loops trying to obtain an IP address until it gives up (connection disabled). I've tried deleting the dhcpd-wlan0.lease under /data/misc/dhcp, paperclip resets, deleting all remembered connections, creating open and secured connections, and nothing seems to work.
I'm running Taboonay 2.2 on the A500 and Fresh Rom on the Evo. Strange thing is that when I'm home, it connects to my router with no problem, so it's just the tethering that's screwy. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
In the past this is what I have seen people do (as well as me) with some success.
Attempt to connect to the network, when it fails, forget the network and reboot the tablet. When it reboots, try to add again. If it doesn't work again click to forget the network again and reboot. Sometimes this takes 3 or 4 times to start working again. Maybe this will help maybe not?
Try turning wifi off in settings (uncheck box), wait a sec and then turn it on again.
You have to root your Iconia tablet. Then replace ad-hoc file. This tablet will not tether to ad -hockey networks stock.look for instructions on this forum its all over on how to do this.
This has been answered many times since the day this tablet hit the market.

He has been using it fine, with no issues until now. I use my stock A500 and my G2 to tether all the time.
I had the same problem with my A500 when I first got it, and a Toshiba Thrive when I got that as well. This was my home network though. Resetting the router solved the problem for me. I have had no issues since then.
I figured out what the problem was: the Wifi Tether app is just buggy as hell. For some reason, whenever I switched the tethering on, it also triggered the phone's wifi toggle on, which blocked the tether (I think). Flipz actually unlocked the official hotspot on the Evo 4G because of this, so I've been using that and it works just fine. Thanks for the help, though!

[Q] Help! My acer A500 no longer accesses the Internet

Guys a week ago I bought my acer a500 Iconia yesterday I updated it to version 3.1, it was fast hands, much improved, I turned on my wifi connected it more often when I was browsing it does not access the Internet more and more strange I I can even access my router. Then I saw in that topic if you give it a reset back 2x the wifi to work properly. The more I did it and did not work, so I found the website of acer patch to fix the problem, I used more problem remained, so I downloaded another update.zip to update it to version 3.2, more el is still with the same problem does anyone know how to solve this?
First thing I'd do is try a hard reset the device..see where that takes you. Have you tried other routers, or tried connecting a different device to your router (to make sure it's not a router issue...)? If not, try restarting your router and modem first.
I take it you're running stock/not rooted?
I use the stock 3.2 ROM, I think the problem is the router, I used a program to use my laptop as a router and it worked, but not yet tested on a real router, but I think it's IP.
had this to
I had this when I bought my tablet (back when it had 3.1).
as fast as I got home and tried it the first time all networks around me could be found except for the one in our house.
I did a factory-reset on the tablet but it didn't work.
then i did a factory-reset on my router (since I lost the admin password). this seemed to work and after reïnstalling the ISP's things it functioned completely again.
I would suggest you change the channel of your wifi, the protection and retype the SSID.
also clear the logs and the firewall blocks.
If you retried connecting with these instructions leave a message here with your results
i try make what you says, but dont workink , my probleme is my router...
thanks!

[Q] Very slow wifi

Hi i have very slow wifi on my u8800. I use Aurora ICS 4.03 Version 1.6. I have wipe when I install the ROM. I tried to download wifianalyser from market and it isent finished after 10 min (500k file). If I send a 1 mb file with wifi file explore it takes 5-10 min. Anybody know what the problem is?
Having the same problem..
Tried to flash an older stock .35 kernel ROM, and then Aurora ICS, but did not help.. Wonder what the problem is.. Doe's not seem like other people have wifi issues..
Running Aurora ICS 1.11
Yeap, mine too extremely slow to a point that it says that the connection has timed out. Lets hope its an easy fix for dzo because I can understand the man works hard to keep the updates rolling day after day.
Testing wifi at my parents house, on a d-link DIR-615, and it works like a charm..
Wonder why it wont work on the other ones i have tried..
bcus our wifi card is a cheap piece of sheat
it doesnt work on all modems and even if it works its not fast at all
Slow wifi
Hi, is there any solution to the slow wifi problem yet? Also, my wifi doesnt always disconnect so its doesnt auto switch to 3G/HSPA when I leave the hostspot area. Its almost as if it stays conected even if the hotspot is not broadcasting. I read in on the forum somewhere there are files you can try restore too check if its better but I cant seem to find the post now.
Thanks

Can't access wifi after rooting

I really tried to find this answer before posting!
My Simple Touch was working fine with my home wifi until I rooted it. Now it can't connect. The signal is fine; the nook is right beside this computer which is connected fine. It says the signal is good. It just never connects.
I tried forgetting it and adding that network again.
Suggestions?

What firmware version are you running? B&N made a number of improvements to wifi in later versions. You might upgrade to a later version and see if that work better. If you want to completely reset to factory, there are instructions for doing so.
Also, sometimes it depends on your router. Mine had trouble connecting because it didn't send it's SSID. (this problem persisted with all versions.) Check your router settings (or get your parents to) and see how it's configured, and be sure it is compatible with the nook.
some router is better, my nook2 wifi is OK in my home but does not work in office

Do other devices connect with your home WiFi router? If doesn't then its likely your router is broken. If does then try resetting your router.

I have the same problem as yours. My galaxy jb 4.1.2 not work with home wifi. ..in office it works well with all wifi routers.
My laptop and other desktop connect very well with home wifi. Galaxy s3 always said connecting. .contacting. ...
I think the problem is with the security type with wifi router/modem. My home wifi set to wep security.
Try to change security type of your wifi router then tell us it works or not.
On ics it works fine but in jelly bean it never work.
