I got my 7.7 yesterday. All is working great, but about every 30 minuttes of use, the WLAN-connection hangs. The WLAN-icon stays lit, but the tab is not able to send/receive data. To get it to work again, I have to disable WLAN and then enable again. It then works for about 30 more minuttes.
I have not installed any task-killers or battery-enhancers etc..
The router is a D-Link DIR 555. I use several PCs and Phones on the same router without losing connections ever. Encryption-type is WPA2.
Any ideas?
Bro here is the same problem really confusing me evrytime the wlan disconnects.
Have you checked that your WLAN settings do not put the tablet wifi to sleep ?
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Wi-Fi sleep policy
I'm having the same problem here, and my wifi policy is set to never, so when that happens I have to turn off/on wifi.. not good!.
I have the LTE version, but am running it without a data plan. I have the same issue with WIFI. The connection will hang after 30min to an hour of use. It is VERY annoying. I ran Speedtest, and i get an interesting result, over wifi i get a very fast download speed (15+Mb/s) but my upload totally hangs. It just sits there. On the same wifi, with my Galaxy Nexus, i have no problem with download or upload.
I've seen several threads across the internet about the problem, and no one seems to really know why. Some people say you need to change settings in your router, and it isnt the Galaxy 7.7's fault, but, i don't know if I buy that. I have the same problem at the Airport, and, i cannot exactly go and change the router config there. I am hoping that there will be an update to the firmware for the wireless radio, either separate or with ICS.
WIFI Problems Solved!!!
Hi,
I had the annoying wifi problem. It would work really fast for a few minutes and decide to stop working all of a sudden.
I fixed the problem by setting the maximum Router output to 54mbps G. Seems like the galaxy tab 7.7 does not like the N settings.
Now it works flawlessly and I will just use it at G speeds until Samsung provides an update. (I really do not notice the difference in speeds between G and N. Just the peace of mind that it will work every time.)
I hope that solves some of the other users' problems.

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.
My SM-T537R4's (U.S. Cellular not connected though) wireless connection has been weird randomly.. I know I can't install a custom rom on this model.. Just wondering if it's a common issue with a fix or just my tablet being weird..
It's usually when I wake it.. I have to disconnect then reconnect it to my wifi in order for it to work online.. And sometimes (rarely) it's just dropped will general internet page surfing..
I've done several resets.. And it works beautifully for a few hours but then the issue kicks back in..
Help
I have the newest fw for my S5 and I have a lot of problems with WiFi. Sometimes I just get the err_name_not_resolved
In chrome and then I have to disable and enable WiFi and everything is OK again for perhaps an hour or a day... My phone also keeps getting warm and I suspect it has something to do with WiFi?!
I have tried reinstall my phone and my router is a Asus new one.
Please help. I had problems with WiFi since galaxy s3... (On different routers)
Hi, I have got my Note 4 with stock firmware DPH1, E-motion kernel r26 and root access.
Since yesterday in the afternoon I'm experiencing issues about turning on wifi.
If you try to switch on the wifi it tries but after it shuts off suddenly.
I tried to restart many times the phone and you can turn on the wifi only if you turn on the router wifi on phone and after you try to switch on the wifi.
This is only way to get the wifi mode.
Do you know how can I do to fix it?

I had this exact same issue with my Note 4. Decided to update firmware to 6.0.1 and now I have the issue with WiFi toggling on and off constantly. What the hell is going on with our WiFi!!??
