Hey guys, the newest 3.2 update (not the first one but the second one that came out) messed up my Wifi and now I can't connect to it. I've turned off/one my roouter+modem, wifi on tablet, tablet itself, and re-added the network multiple times and nothing seems to work. What happens is that I add the network and it would try to connect and authenticate but then it just retries connecting again and then all the available wifi networks are gone. It's a mess. And it happened a few times where it would finally connect but then no webpage would open after a few minutes and the wifi bars on the bottom right turn from blue to grey. Wtf. How the hell can Samsumg mess up something like that? And no it's not my wifi since it works perfectly fine with alllll of my other devices.
I just had exactly the same problem. 3.2 was working fine for a couple of days for me but now has difficulty connecting and when it does connect doesn't seem to be able to reach the internet. No issues with other devices. Time for a custom ROM?
Had also issues with wifi and the latest stock 3.2. It went away with Task 6.1 and probably the other custom rom also.
And now it is all working again.
Strange but worrying.......
On the contrary the wifi is better now with me. I used to have wifi issues after the TW update. The first days with stock Android I dont remember a single day dropping my wifi connection, but after TW update I sometimes picked my Tab to see "no internet connection". After 3.2 update it is just always on. I am quite happy with this update. If I ever see a drop in connection it is %100 router related which sometimes confuses and tries to assign the same the IP address to 2 different devices.
Ever since I updated my Tab to 3.2, my wifi does not automatically reconnect when I wake the Tab from sleep mode. I have to turn wifi off and back on again and then the Tab will reconnect to my router instantly. Does anyone else experience this problem?
It might just be that I am being more patient than you - but what I see is that it takes up to 30 seconds to connect. I'm not sure why.
I think it might have something to do with the router or the encryption or the fact that my SSID is hidden.
If I open the Wi-fi settings immediately after turning on, I can see my neighbour's router almost immediately - yet mine shows as being out-of-range. After a couple of scans, it detects my router, and connects.
My router is a Dlink DIR-615 Rev B, and I use WPA/WPA2 PSK with a hidden SSID
Happens to me too since the update with both my home and work networks, and neither of them are hidden. My home network has no encryption, just uses MAC filtering, work network is WPA.
It's definitely something to do with the update. It worked perfectly before and there are several people on here that have mentioned the same issue.
I have had the same problem since 3.2
Has anyone found a fix for this wifi problem?
Doesn't happen to me. That only happened before the KMN update for Wifi.
Happens to me and it just pisses me off.. I am kinda getting used to it but it is very annoying. I would love if someone could show us a way to fix this because we all know how fast Samsung gives us software updates...lol
Motorola cliq XT>Samsung vibrant > future galaxy nexus!
i have de same problem. When i flash task or bingdroid i cann´t work with my wifi. It´s not detected. But with the stock rom y work with this wifi well. You know what is the problem?
What is the "KMN update for wifi"? The build on my 10.1 is KMM
Thanks for any help on this.
I have noticed it too, just before the second update ota, the "firmware" one.
It just happened after upgrading to 3.2.
I Had to forget my network and configure it again.
Once the internet conexion established, i was proposed to upgrade this firmware part.

My GTab 10.1 has been doing this since new (3.1). The workaround I use is to set the wifi sleep policy to "Never turn off". Has no real negative effect on battery life.
Go to Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Wi-Fi Settings --> Wi-Fi sleep policy --> select "Never (uses more battery power)"
Same bug. I turn it on and off manually. Not userfriendly but I learned in the last years that samsungs stockroms are never bugfree.
Leaving wifi on consumes more power btw. On my sgs and especially tab.

yeah i noticed that too on KK4 firmware. It is either slow to connect or not connected at all. I need to on/off the wifi then it is connected.
I have it too. 7510 KMM 3.2
either leave wifi always on or you have to turn it off and on to reconnect.
same issue on tab 10.1 but not on acer
I have the same issue on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...wake up device and no wifi for 1-2 minutes. I also have an Acer Iconia 7 inch but have no such issue...wifi reconnects within a few seconds. Definitely not a router issue. Contacted Samsung and of course they say they have never heard this before, but I can send it in under warranty and have 3.2 reflashed on the device which just seems ridiculous. I think everyone having this issue should start blowing up Samsung's tech support phone lines until they admit this is a real issue and develop a fix. I also wonder if this will be fixed with the ICS update (whenever that happens) or if it is an issue with Samsung tweaking Android with Touchwiz which will undoubtedly be integrated into their "version" of ICS.

I agree. We should also link them to this thread.
Hey everyone. I just recently picked up this tablet. Its the Verizon 4G version, but 4G isnt active right now so Im using WiFi only.
I can connect to wifi no problem, but as soon as I launch the play store the wifi drops. If I exit, go into the settings for the play store, etc... WiFi turns back on.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Ive noticed now that it seems to be happening using browser or opera too. Last night I powered te tablet off, rebooted my router and fired the tablet back up and it seemed to work for a bit. Im not too keen on having to do this each time, however.
Haven't experienced this at all. Try a wipe? Clear play store data? <-- doubt that would help but who knows.
Well the fact that its extended beyond the play store and into browsers bugs me.
I performed a wipe - no success. I started googling galaxy tab wireless issues and there are posts everywhere, but most were for the 10.1 tab it seems.
Interestingly enough, if I switch to 5GHz on my dual band router, it seems to work fine... but the 5GHz signal is so weak that the tab randomly drops it. It seems to be the 2.4GHz band that being a pain in the neck.
Interestingly enough, my old iPad has no issues with either band in any applications.
Wifi Issue
I just received my galaxy tab7.7 2 days ago and it seems that I'm also having the same problem. After reading online I realised that certain routers don't work well with it. I am not sure about the exact problem but next day I connected my tab to university network and it worked absolutely fine. I don't know if there are certain models which are having this problem or if all 3G versions have this issue. But I may write it up to samsung later to find out more. You can download an app e.g, Speedtest.net from google market and check if your network does work with it or not.
I use intel my-wifi to connect it to my laptop's network, it works fine for first few minutes but then my-wifi shows that tab isn't connect to it anymore whereas my tab shows it's connected to the inernet but doesn't open any page, email etc.
no such behavior from my tablet in last 45 days or so .
try factory setting ....

I've already tried it a number of times but no improvement.....
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)
