Is anybody experiencing wireless signal strength issues with Nexus 10 ?
In the same room with the router the signal strength drops from excellent to none and back at will. Router is fine, I have other devices (apple and windows based) which have no such issue.
Yes I noticed the same issue.
No issues with my one, I have my router in the same room too and I'm getting full strength. Occasionally it drops by one bar momentarily.
Is it just the on screen meter showing the fluctuation or are you actually losing connectivity?

I notice that download speed drops significantly when that happens
Yeah for me too. When this issue appears I'm doing a speed test and the speed is slow as hell.

Hm, this is a concern. Is that new MIMO wifi thing too new to be released in a product? Hope not.
No issues for me, stable connection all around the house, even in the kitchen where my phone sometimes loses WiFi signal.
Thought I'd post a quick update. I set my IP to be static on Nexus and looks like signal got a bit stronger, it's Max or 3 bars without random dropping. Will see how it goes.

THis is a problem between Android and your router. Certain routers just have this issue, usually because they are not designed a specific way and do one thing or another out of official spec. This causes an Android device to drop out of connection every couple minutes or so. The biggest problem that causes this is routers that do not have a DHCP lease time set up. There are other causes too, but that was a major one. Also make sure you have wifi sleep mode set to never (I think it defaults to off when screen is off), and if you can also set your wifi mode to high performance (usually a kernel feature and I doubt we have it on this tablet yet)
Now this isnt talking about weak strength or losing bars. What I am describing is specifically for Android based devices that can have fine strength and then suddenly at any random time completely drop the connection to nothing, and then try to reconnect once more. Over and over

MIMO is OLD by now. Been around for years
I wanted to chime in here, because I was getting frustrated as well. I was having all sorts of trouble connecting to the 5Ghz signal from my Linksys e4200: sometimes it would show a connection but I wouldn't have internet access, other times the signal was super weak and unreliable. I went into my router's settings and changed the channel width to Auto (20Mhz or 40Mhz) and that resolved the problem immediately.
I hope this helps someone!
I am having a similar issue. Sitting about 10 feet from my router and my signal strength, bars, is down to 1. I know bars mean nothing but this is concerning.
Hopefully this is just a software issue. I have a spare wireless N router that I am going to hook up and use it just for the nexus to see if it helps.

Good question. I was actually thinking about creating a thread for this, but then I saw this! Anyway, I'm in my apartment where I usually get three out of four bars on my HTC one x, but on this tablet I'm getting between one and two, they switch from one to two nearly every ten seconds so maybe I'm right on the edge.
However, so far I have no complaints about Wi-Fi strength - I'm watching Netflix without any problems, browsing chrome is fast, and downloading apps has been fast. These are not very scientific tests, but in normal use it has been adequately speedy. Oh, except when I streamed the free HD video (I won't say which title in case anyone is trying to avoid " spoilers"), it switched from HD to standard definition a few times. could that have just been because lots of new N10 users were accessing it?

Not only do I not have signal issues, but the Nexus 10 is picking up about twice as many wifi networks as my Acer A500 or my DroidX, and no they aren't 5ghz, just better range.
Mine is. So far so good but I don't have a dual band router so I only have 2.4 GHz enabled' its definitely has better radio than my Acer iconia I tested both next to eachother. With Wi-Fi analyzer
I have the same problems... My WiFi signal is as good as it in my Hox, but sometimes my WiFi connexion drop and disappear, just to return after 1-2 seconds. Not sure if this could be a problem with my ****ty router but I have never experienced this "drops" with my phones or computers

You didn't have any issues with WiFi analyzer? Did you use it in the view that does signal strength of nearby networks as curves?

I've just done. I noticed that my WiFi signal had many "ups and downs", even using it in the same room where my router is. The signal wasn't very stable so I decided to use my phone as a router and connect the tablet. I have been browsing for a while with my phone WiFi network and I haven't suffer any drops. Signal has been stable so far and with the app WiFi analysed I get much better results.
So I think there is not any problem with the tablet. Somehow it is no it very "compatible" with my router. Not sure if the MIMO technology doesn't get along with my old router

I've tried something that seems to help, although it doesn't fix it completely. I accessed into my router's advance settings and changed the "signal interval" from 100 to 10 msec. Not sure this will apply to anyone, but it helped people with similar issues in their iPhone 5 WiFi signal. As I said, my signal seems more stable now

I'm having problems connecting to the corperate wifi with my Nexus 10, I've used an android tablet berfore on it, TF101 connected without any problems, I've seen issues reported with the Nexus 7 and Wifi, has anyone else had and issues connecting to WPA/EAP with Certifcate authentication.
The device is crrectly registered as it can connect to another SSID which uses the same mac database
Working fine for me, however I have been disconnected twice in the last 2 days,

Bump.
Any fix to this issue? We use WPA/EAS and I get "not in range". Some people got it to work and some didnt. there's an open bug being tracked on Google (Issue 34212) but no workable solution on the N10.
Having problems with optimium wifi. I have to sign in everytime, while on my phone/laptop its not needed.
I downloaded the wifi register app from optimium, but it can't sign in with that. Any solution?

My connection stays strong (max bars) when for example playing a youtube video, but after while the video endlessly buffers (or freezes) until, either I jump in and out of multitasking screen or restart the WiFi connection. It's as if it can't reinitialize the stream for some reason. I have the same problem downloading apps and other media, i.e. good signal, stable connection, but just seems to time out continuously. It's driving me mental, without reliable WiFi the device is next to useless. I'm hoping it's a software issue that will be addressed soon, but if not I suppose it's RMA time.

I had the same issue with YouTube last night. It took me a while to get the connection back at one point. I rebooted the device and the router and I eventually got my connection back. I would tend to think it is a combination of Android and the router that will eventually be worked out with an Android software update.
With 4.2.2 I had no issues with wifi and can still go back to that version and have no issues, but with version 4.3 and 4.4 I have had and still have the following problem.
I have a list of known wifi connection points as well as available access points. Everything appears as it should, but the wifi will not automatically connect to any wifi (protected or unprotected/known or previously unknown) without first turning the wifi off and back on. Additionally, this only works if the persistent background wifi option is toggled off. If I do toggle the wifi on and off and connect to an available access point everything is fine so long as I remain in range and stay connected. If I go out of range and lose the connection, when I next reenter the range and the access point shows up on the list it will not connect unless wifi is cycled on and off. This happens every single day at work and home, although there is a workaround, it is quite annoying to have to cycle the wifi off and on. The networks will show as available and if I click on them and try to force it to connect, it still won't work unless I cycle on and off.
I have seen prior threads with this issue on 4.3 and there was a topic in the official Google issues page and was frankly hoping desperately that 4.4 would fix it, but alas, it has not. I know it is not the device itself since reverting back to 4.2.2 solves the problem.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix to this wifi issue that doesn't involve reverting to an older version of android or some kludged together solution?
Ya.. I have also been facing this problem since i have installed KitKat 4.4 on my i9300
Are you stock? Maybe try another ROM? I had the exact same problem, but my problem was my wifi AP.
1- My router was setup for a/b/g/n, I set it to only what I really had using the Wifi AP, which was g/n
2- I had a weird cable modem to router to Wifi AP setup. The router was handing out IPs, not the Wifi AP. I removed the router and only let the Wifi AP give IP addresses (DHCP). It seemed like the "further hops" away that the DHCP addresses were, the more issues i had with my Android connection.
No other devices on my network had these issues, but doing the above made a world of difference.
All that made my connections lightening quick, no issues at all since then.
odd Wifi behaviour
I got a refurbished delivered N10 last evening, came with 4.2.2, played with it a little, did a network benchmark test (FTP off a LAN NAS) and was getting comparable peformance to my other fastest system (a Thinkpad Ubuntu laptop). It seemed stable but I only used it for like an hour as 4.2.2. I was getting FTP of max 4MB/s over a N-router.
I then let it OTA to 4.3 and then played with it for some hours. Issue I found was the Wifi would work and then have "authentication problem" I had to turn Wifi off then on to make it connect to router. I've had that issue with other devices at times. I was thinking of staying on 4.3 to allow 4.4 to have another bugfix (its not been long out on N10) but I had a key issue for me (PPP Widget didn't work) so I did a stock 4.4. flash upgrade.
On 4.4. the Wifi speed is still fast, but periodically it just stops working, a glitch.
One key thing that stands out is the N10 is connecting at much higher Mbit speeds than any other of my devices, it is showing 130Mbits vs say 20-65Mbits on other devices. I'm wondering if my N10 is "too good" for my router an old low-spec refurbished model (Cisco E1200 v2, which I flashed to latest DD-WRT) ?
I'm not so far disappointed with network performance, just network stability, but I can't tell for sure if its the N10's fault or my router's fault. I'll play with settings a while til I find something stable.
When I first got my N10 I had a lot of trouble with wifi connection. Mostly authentication issues, or it would authenticate but not have internet access. It was frustrating, and Google's support was clueless.
I then tried using wireless tether from my N4 and it worked as it should. The issue ended up being the Arris router that Time Warner uses. I bought a Linksys router and have had 0 issues since. So if you're using an Arris router, or it shares the same chipset, that might be the issue.
The router is the Arris DG860.

Good anecdote.
Well in our house, the proliferation of gadgets has changed progressively to a large number, I make it 14 devices from an initial 2 devices 5 years ago. I count 4 wired and my 4 devices, my son's 2 and my daughter's 3 and my wife's 1. They all compete for router bandwidth, Wifi spectrum, router CPU / cache.
What I might do with this high-performance (capability and demand N10) is segment my network using an old G router I hard fix to non-overlapping channels from N-router, and connect the low-spec devices to the G and high-spec to the N. That will involve no $ and naturally reduce congestion. I run a NAS and download media to it and then stream to gadgets off NAS so I'm Wifi-limited often more than Internet-limited, and even tweaking I get 2MB-4MByte (16Mbit~32Mbit) off a NAS is making my typical LAN speed the same as the Internet bandwidth I buy (16Mbit).
My NEtbook (EEE 1015PN) if it ever felt a Wifi hiccup it would lock-out that frequency and so not see the router til I powered off netbook and remove battery.
I do wonder if some of the N10 Wifi complaints are really just generic or bad combinations with router or "straw that broke the camel's back".
I'm having wifi issues with my N10 as well. I had a few wifi issues at work, but not at home while using 4.3. Now with 4.4 I'm having serious wifi connection issues both at work and at home. In fact my N5 running 4.4.1 is having issues connecting to wifi both at work and at home. Not as often as my N10, but it still happens. I'm running stock on both and have no problem connecting to either network with my laptop.
I've installed wifi fixer, but so far it doesn't seem to be helping much. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be done to fix this that doesn't involve rooting either device?
I'm now running 4.4.2, and I'm experiencing better wifi connectivity, but it still drops out more than it did on version 4.3. Is anyone else having this issue?

Some of your problems might be just coincidence, something changed in your area around the same time as you upgraded. Some of these are just the wrinkles of firmware of device vs firmware of router, some combinations work bad and isn't really "fault" of Android in that you can't test every combination. You could wait for a fix from Android... or just try to avoid the wrinkle by changing settings on the router. A common thing is to move the router from auto to fixed channel and fix to 20mhz narrow. Go the place you mostly are with the N10 and use a Wifi analyser to find the least-congested channel and then set the router to that. What that does is reduce channel-hopping and gives less opportunity for firmware issues on both router and the Android device.
I also had a problem with my N7 when I moved house. The answer was to flash DD-WRT on my router and the problems went away.
So either wait+complain or go look at your router now.
Right now I have DD-WRT on an old refurbished Cisco E1200 and I set it to channel 3 with 20mhz and I got very good Wifi performance. With the stock Cisco firmware I was getting Android Wifi drops and poor performance. Yes, that's partly Android's fault but I fixed it myself quicker flashing firmware on the router.
I also took opportunity in DD-WRT to setup IPTABLES for a transparent proxy so all the devices in my LAN now share a large harddrive as http cache so e.g. any downloads from Play store for say my N4.... is cached to my N10 so I only ever download anything once.
If you have issues still with the N10, then what I find solves a lot of problem is do a stock flash of 4.4.2, on setup untick all the backup+restore from Google, then manually install and configure yourself to make it "vanilla". That often fixes accumulated wrinkles unique to your history of your device and places to more mainstream with less likely of having a unique problem. I do that on all my Android devices now (N4, N7, N10).
Similar wifi problems here
I've had similar issues with my N10.
I will have fast internet speeds (30+ Mbps) and it will just freeze. I'll be watching youtube and it will start buffering. Doing a speed test on my phone shows the speeds as normal. It makes no difference whether connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wifi.
I just resolved my WiFi issue this past weekend. Connectivity is rock solid
Here is what I did I.
Purchased my own cable modem/router. New router had updated firmware. time warner cable modem did not.
Change beacon interval from 100 to 20 on router and repeater.
Made sure router was on a less congested channel.
All is rock solid
YMMV

Great! Often just tweaking settings can do wonders. I flashed DD-WRT on mine and it solved a lot of issues on an old low-spec router.
Hey Guys,
I posted this in General section but saw this so I will add this info:
I just want to share what and why I did it. First off I did not have problems with my wifi on 4.2.2 with the Nexus10. the second that I went to Slim Kat and Vanir 4.4.2 I had weak wifi signal at work and at home when my nexus 7 slim kat and my galaxy note 2 Vanir did not. I noticed that RAM was also weird on the nexus 10. Even though it showed 2gb of ram on the specs it was only showing 1099 on 4.4.2 when I show that I have 1647 ram available with 4.2.2.
Concerning the OS using Ram. Google said that they would make Kit Kat more RAM friendly but I was using 535mb of RAM for 4.4.2 and right now I am showing only 357.3 mb for 4.2.2. I am using the same apps launchers and screen savers
I just flashed back to 4.2.2 this morning so I will update later, I do see an improvement in the wifi though.
I just want to say that I love Slim Kat and that is why I am on the 4.2.2 I just think Google somehow hosed up the wifi on the Nexus 10.
B][/B] Ok so I am at work and have went back and forth between 4.4.2 and 4.2.2. the 4.4.2 connects and disconnects back and forth. When it does connect to router but it says poor connection and it is only 24mbps. "It drops way more than connected" I am 45 ft from router in an open environment.
The 4.2.2 Slim Kat has a fair connection with 78 Mbps and has not dropped once. So I don't know what the difference is with Kit Kat compared to Jelly Bean but for my nexus 10 my wifi is great now with Jelly Bean. I wish I could figure out why and fix but I do not know programming.
I also installed on both 4.4.2 and 4.2.2 a app called WiFi Connection Fixer *Root* by ZEXTR. It did not help 4.4.2 but it did help with 4.2.2. this app helps connect to poor connections or when Android says avoided poor connection.
I don't know why the Nexus 10 is having issues with wifi with KitKat but I wish I could fix it. So I will be on 4.2.2 until a new version comes out and I will test it to see if it fixed it.
update; I have used 4.2.2 all day with the wifi connection fixer and I have not dropped wifi once and the download speed is fast. It is much faster than what 4.4.2 was, at least on my tablet.

Nexus 10 4.4.3 WiFi Bottleneck Problem
Hello there everyone,
I just wanted to confirm that I personally found a fix on my end for my Nexus 10 WiFi bandwidth problem that was definitely evident for many people that upgraded from 4.4.2. First off, I'm totally stock. I will most likely root & ROM this thing in this near future. I was having a bottleneck on my Nexus 10 around ~2 mbps when I tested using the speedtest.net application (may not be the best measurement application but it works). I ended up fixing the problem by changing my router settings in the WiFi section of my browser based software to N/G Mixed instead of just Mixed (which allows 802.11a/b as well as 802.11g/n to run on the router's WiFi signal). I use DD-WRT on my router as well so that may have played a factor in it but I did NOT see an increase in bandwidth until making the N/G Mixed change in the settings. I found this suggestion earlier in the thread and wanted to give it some credit. Thanks everyone!
Can anyone confirm or not if the crap WiFi strength on nexus 10s is an acknowledged fact? I have seen some say it is, yet still see other comments praising the devices WiFi saying it is stronger than ipones etc.
This is my second N10, I sent the first back due to WiFi performance and I believed it to be defective. My second devices arrival has suggested otherwise as I have noticed no improvement.... Am I just really unlucky?
On my home network, every other device has ho WiFi issues, but my n10 struggles! It seems to sho a decent signal strength in the WiFilist in settings, but a low strength in the top right corner.... Can anyone advise? I get similar strength issues on other networks (public and at friends houses. SO frustrating not being able to perform one of the most basic functions on a £300+ device). Was hoping 4.3/4 upgrades would help- nothing.
Should I get a third nexus sent out? Is this down to poor quality components? Anyone having same issues?
Thanks!
Hard to generalize, but mine has been rock-solid (on 4.3; I'm holding off on "upgrading" to 4.4). Seems to give faster throughput than my N7
My N10 seems to be at par or a bit better than my better halfs Ipad. Taking both tablets and going for a walk out in back (acreage), in the outbuildings, and near fences, the signal strength and ability to connect to my router and see other routers was actually a touch better with the N10.
When first getting the N10, it did seem to drop the wifi signal, but replacing the el cheapo several year old router with a newer medium price router cured that issue.
The Google Nexus 10 as well as the Amazon Kindle HDX are two of the few devices that actually support MIMO (multiple input multiple output) wireless.
This typically allows for very solid and swift wireless performance.
I suspect that software updates may have had some impact on the Wireless functionality of the Nexus 10, but that is also in combination with some types of access points, so it varies to each customer.
Some places I get really terrible wireless, but at both my work and at home, it performs extremely well.
Hopefully a future KitKat patch will address the wireless more. I notice that new binaries are included in KitKat pertaining to both wireless and Bluetooth for the N10.
Hello, I just became an owner of a Nexus 10. when I first time connect to my BSNL Teracom wifi router it is not connected. it is always showing connecting or obtaining IP address...
It connected through my S3 Hotspot but not through teracom router
I wake up in the morning and just press again the connect button. Bingo...it is connected..!!! Not understand why it is behaving like this. I am not done any changes in routers settings also. Is it not connecting b'coz the routers frequency mismatch or anything else ?? After once I switch off and on the router the same problem happens
all my phones including a Samsung s3, tab neo and also my laptop all are switches automatically connected to the wifi router.
Please help.
thanks in advance.

Yup... Crap WiFi on my nexus 10 too. Just randomly disconnects or is so slow that its unusable for streaming movies... I own a ton of android devices and this is the only one that gives me problems. When I turn it on, I just hope it stays connected. Let's hope this post goes through lol

Mine pulls 40mb out of a n wifi connection.. the main connection is only 50 -55 on average. I'd say its the best performing wifi device I own.
I have owned my N10 for over a year. The WIFI signal strength is good, but I often get some lag issues, which ended up being my router. When I have issues, I now reset my modem and everything works again. I have read that some people only have a 2.4GHz modem, and they have received better luck by limiting WIFI to that frequency only.
Hello, I own 2 nexus players, suddenly 2 days ago after working well, both started to develop slow wifi connections, streaming is nearly impossible, I downloaded a web browser for the device and opened a speed test page, the maximum speed registered is no more than 1.5 mbps while my internet connection is 10 mbps, all my other wireless devices get at least 9.8 mbps when tested the connection, strangely in the nexus playerthe speed increases a little more during the morning at the most to 3 mbps. I tried everything regarding the router, at first I used my dsl router wifi then I turned it of and started using my airport extreme, no changes in my nexus players, and getting full speed in my other devices, then I connected the nexus players to the airportextreme 5ghz wifi network, no change, I also tried to get the router closer to the nexus player, no change.
The last thing I tried is to share my mobile 4g connection to the nexus player which is about 25 mbps, I was standing next to the nexus player and the fastest speed it got was 1.5 mbps.
The problem occur in both nexus players, my other wireless devices get full wifi network speed, I dont know what else to do. Is this a common known issue?
How far away are they from the router? I have my router and NP #1 in the same room, and 5ghz signal is excellent. But the signal for NP #2 in the bedroom is lousy, so it uses the 2.4ghz band.
Maybe try using a wifi analyzer app to see what the best channels are for your router?
The router is at the most 15 feet from the nexus player. The strange thing is that both worked fine for about 3 months and suddenly at the same time they presented this problem. Could it maybe a firmware update? Mmmm When I shared my 4g connection I was three feet from the nexus player, I have no further ideas of what could be the problem. Neither google nor asus have responded my emails.

Exactly the same problem I have. It started today. I have even performed factory reset but without any help. It runs 6.0 software but until today everything works fine. My internet connection is 40/20 mb/s and all other devices works just fine.Anyone knows what can be?

most likely a driver incompatibility issue that came with the latest update.
I assume this to be the case since I used to have wifi problems with the Nexus player in the past, which used to disconnect from my wifi sometimes, especially with my 5GHz wifi, to which it never managed to stay connected more than a few days in a row. And all of those problems are gone after the new update. So I assume that the changes fixed things for some people (like me) and broke things for others (like you). My speed from the Nexus Player is blazing fast as well, it maxes out my connection when performing a speed test.

Thanks for reply.
If it is happend right after I have updated to 6.0 I will understand but three weeks later....
Somewhere I read that NP can be connected with wlan cabel using wlan adapter.If is it possible do you think it will solve the problem?

It should solve the problem. Also I've heard wlan cables come cheap these days on ebay.
Maybe a neighbor is now using a bad channel. See adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference.
Hi @mladost13, did you solved the slow wifi issue on Marshmallow?

Apparently my dsl modem blacklisted both nexus players, i don't know why, so the bandwidth for the two devices was limited. What i did was to reset the modem, problem solved temporarily, I already had to reseted it twice, as it blacklisted the np again. After doing that the speed in my nexus players is back to nearly 10 mbps again.

Tanks! I deleted Nexus Player from wifi devices list (in router network manager) and bandwith comes back!
