hi could someone plse help i installed wm6 on my ameo the t mobile friendly rom but now i cant get a fix on my wifi ive got a belkin n1 router i know thats working because my universal works fine. i also tried pocket hack master to try and slow down the cpu on the ameo becase i found it in another forum but still could not get it to work. any suggestions plse .thanks in advance
Does the WiFi light flash when you switch WiFi on?
Do you have the latest radio rom (1.45.00)?
Can you ad-hoc WiFi between your Athena and Universal?
Have you tried looking for updated firmware for your Belkin?
The only reason I ask, is because I couldn't connect to my WiFi network either but my Universal could too. Did all of the above and it works fine now
hey yoor right the wifi light isnt flashing wat to do. pleasse post have to go will try wen i get back thanks
The first thing I would do is flash the radio Rom to 1.45.00.

still not working
hi tried everything you guys suggested but no luck also tried flasing all the roms i could find with no luck can somone post me a link please who has a t mobile ameo of the rom they are using and wifi is working properly.thanks in advance
If you have re-flashed the Radio rom and WiFi still doesn't work, I would say your device is faulty. Send it back for repair.
if this is the case anybody know where i can get the t mobile rom from for waranty.thanks

Hi
I use Belkin and and PK3.0 wm6 with WPA-TSK security enabled Wi-Fi connection to my athena no problem. You may have set up 54g connection only enabled in the router settings.
on the device start>> settings>> connections>>Wi-FI>>network Adapters then select IEEE 802........ and Select "The internet". Then press ok and reset the device
Belkin routers sometimes don't connect to the devices if you select higher security in wireless settings in the router. Therefore check the router's wireless settings.
set the device settings as above then Try modify settings in the router's wireless security settings. then save and restart the router and try connecting to the device.
I hope this will help you to connect to the Wi-fi internet. good luck
I dont know if this will help, but I have trouble connecting to my netgear router at home. It connects, but then shortly after, although still connected, loses its connectivity to the internet. To fix it, I have to turn off the power save mode to the wifi card and have the slidy bar to maximum performance to keep a connection
My preferred setup for WIFI
First and foremost, do a hard reset on the router by holding in the reset hole at the back for a few seconds until the lights blink.
Make sure security is OFF on the router and try to connect to it with your Ameo. If it works then yeehaa.....
The best setup I have at the moment with my router is with security DISABLED (believe it or not).
I then log into the router on my main pc and add a MAC FILTER list (i.e. the MAC addresses of the devices I wish to be allowed to connect to my router)
People may see a security-free router but they will NOT be able to connect unless their MAC address is on my router's list.

Errr - if they want to, yes they will. All they need do is scan the network for an active MAC address and then spoof their own MAC address to one already active on the network. OK, it's unlikely anyone would go that far but I would much rather simply use the security!
Hi just received my GTablet and have installed ClockworkMod v08. Next, I am attempting to install the TNT Lite Rom but I am having trouble connecting to my home router.
The response I keep getting when trying to connect is to the point of "Obtaining IP address.." then it disconnects. I am sure it's not the wireless router but just to be eliminate possibilities, I've even switched off all the security with connect to the router, but the sames results. It keeps trying to re-connect. I can easily connect with my other PCs and printers.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hello there,
did you ever solve your wifi problem, I am currently running the latest TnTlite, and this just started happening to me as well. It just hangs in Obtaining Ip then it disconnects.... I have never had this problem before in fact was online on the tab last night, now it seems i cannot connect... I will see if I can connect in another location hope nothing happened to the Tab..... BTW I tried restarting as what was suggested but that did nothing for me also....
Are you broadcasting your SSID?
Can you take the tablet somewhere else and try connecting at a Star Bucks, or a library, or something. See if it connects ok there?
Also, if it doesn't connect anywhere. Try flashing a different ROM to see if it is just that one.
I've had the same problem. I do not seem to be able to connect to any wifi that is encrypted with WPA. At work, we are WPA and I cannot connect at all. At home, I have WEP and can connect. I thought it might be something with the wifi settings on the tab, and have searched and searched and cannot find anthing.
By the way, this is my third tab and none of them could connect to a WPA encrypted router. The first two I returned as defective. IF there is an answer, I would love to hear about it.
Also, this is my first android device. I have been messing with Windows phones for a long time...thanks to the great people on this site.
Sorry to hear about your wifi problems. Just to let you know my experiences, I've (in the week I've owned my tablet) run TnT, VegaN and cyanogen (latest of each) and have never had a problem connecting to my home wifi - I do not broadcast my SSID at all and use WPA2/PSK encryption. You both mention WPA - can either of you try WPA2/PSK?
But on saying all of that, if you can't even connect to your wifi point without any security involved, it sounds either:
1) Hardware - faulty tablet but you said you're on your third so that sounds unlikely. Remember, while the tablet supports wifi G/N it does so over 2.4Ghz so if you have a router that only does 5Ghz or is set to work exclusively over 5Ghz, your router will not see your tablet
2) Software related - Have you reflashed your kernel at all? Did you possibly install a kernel (not rom) that does not have wifi drivers installed or something similar?
I hope something above might help you....
I was never able to connect to the wireless router. I shut all the security off, reset the router, rebooted the tablet but still the same results, "obtaining IP address" then it fails and tries again. I could connect to my neighbors Linksys so I know the tablet wifi is ok. I also so know that the router was ok since it had been serving my other PCs & printers for a number of years. It just wouldn't connect to each other.
The problem still persists.

You didn't answer in your response above, is your router a 5Ghz router or 2.4Ghz? Could the frequency of your router be causing your problem here? Remember the tab only supports 2.4Ghz frequencies
1. if your tablet can connect to your neighbor's router, then problem lies between your router and the tablet.
2. is your router a linksys? what wireless router are you trying to use?
3. are you using mac address filtering? is dchp enabled on the router or by some sort of home server?
4. your tablet can see your router, but for some reaon they cant agree on how to talk to each other. i'm on a linksys wrt54gsv4 and havent had a problem, not with default settings or wpa2 or mac filtering or the custom firmware i eventually installed on it (ddwrt), tomato)

You are ATTEMPTING to install TnT ROM? You dont need the Internet connection, just sideload it then install. Am i Right?
Then after you install the TnT rom, sideload also the Kernel TnT base with wifi fix.

Hope this will solve your problem.
Good luck

Something else occurs to me out of pure ignorance. I'm not sure how Android stores profile information. But I know with both mac and windows I've had occasion where "forgetting" the network and letting the device rediscover it has solved problems.
It sounds like you've been down that road already. However, it does bear asking. It's the more obvious things we often forget to consider.
Well it looked like the tablet needed to be reset a couple of times as i was just online with it... now the tab just froze, shut off and now i cannot turn it on... off to another thread to see what to do now... god i hope this thing is not bricked....any suggestions on what is a good thread would be appreciated... off i go.......

Try to hold the power button for a long time and maybe it may turn back on. Before doing your last resort (disecting the tablet).
I had a problem with my wifi going into loops when I first got the unit. It would show it connecting/disconnecting/connecting/etc as described in the first post.
I had another router (both the same makes - Linksys WRT54G but different model numbers) so I tested the other router and I connected fine. I haven't gone back to test the first router yet and I am using the 2nd one.
The router I couldn't connect to has DD-WRT micro on it, and I haven't had problems connecting other wireless devices to. The one that is working fine with the g-tablet now has Tomato on it (it is a lower version number which supported Tomato).
Too bizarre... I now have this problem.
I received my gtablet today and installed clockwork mod recovery and vegan-tab ginger RC 1. Or, essentially, I followed the instructions here and got everything working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Wifi worked fine until the evening. Wifi is on, and in the settings under the SSID of my wifi network, it says Obtaining IP address for a minute until it says Disabled, network in range. I've done some common trouble shooting, like restarting, turning wifi off and on, forgetting the network and reentering password. That didn't work. My cell phone has a mobile hotspot feature and the gtablet CAN join that. I wonder what gives... I hope someone can help.
(This could be just coincidence, but it's about when I powered up my desktop computer. The desktop connects to the internet through a DMZ router that has a wired connection to the wifi router in another room. The desktop is now off and the gtablet still has this problem.)
Ok. Resetting my router fixed it. I never thought that my router could just "dislike" one particular device. I thought for sure something had to be wrong with the device. Forgive my ignorance!
G Tablet Wifi
I do not transmit my SSID and this has never been a problem with any of our laptops or netbooks. When I first received my G Tab and tried to connect to my network, even though I had entered the SSID and Passphrase correctly, it still would not connect. As soon as I set my wireless router to transmit the SSID the G Tab connected without any problems.
This is the first time I've encountered a problem of this nature. Comments?
This is what worked for me. I posted this in a similar thread as well.
Hey, I had WiFi connection issues too. I just got a Viewsonic G-Tablet with the Android 3.0 OS and have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. It could see router and would try to connect, but would cycle and never connect. I could try to connect to other available networks in the area. It connected fine to an unsecure network, and when I tired to connect to secure networks there was a place where I could enter a network key/password. However, I noticed this option was not available on my network when I tried to connect. I reset my router which did not help. I then chose the option to add a network on the tab. This worked!! I was able to enter the key from the add a network option. I then told the "bad" connection to be forgotten. Hope this helps someone else, as I had looked on the internet for awhile for an answer. I was about to buy a new wireless router too!! Oh, I am using WEP too.
edit: ok when I power my tablet back on the same issue was happening. This time I could enter a network and the cycling still contiuned. I even forgot and re-entered the network. The fix this time was to reboot the tab. However, my internet has been acting up lately so IDK.
Hi, is anyone has the same problem? When I'm connected at home to my Tenda router (WIFI b/g/n) after cca 30 min. my phone WIFI stops sending and recieving data, Skype is offline, etc... but WIFI in phone is stil switched on. After I switch WIFI off and back on (on my Samsung, not on my router), everything works good for a while and after cca 30 min. is situation the same. Is there in Samsung any WIFI sleep mode or something like that? Or some settings, which is not visible? Any other suggestions? Sorry for my poor English. Thanx in advance.
I'm having the same problem. But I did a factory reset and it works fine afterward.
And just few hours ago, I encountered this problem again. What did to get this error was, I pressed "on samsungapps" and it failed to update and thus results wifi connection stopping. What about you? Also my Kies air is not working.
are you guys sure you have wifi sleep policy set correctly? just to be sure, settings, wireless, wifi, menu button, advanced, wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Yes. And also even if i manually disconnect and reconnect the wifi back. The data still doesn't come in. It is stated there as connected but no data at all.
Somehow Wifi keeps searching every few seconds, even thought it's connected.
This is bound to cost in battery life too.
I have reseted router to default settings, disabled n mode, disabled security (only mac filtering is on), disabled all unnecessary features and PROBLEM IS SOLVED !!! Thanx God Tomorrow I will experiment with router settings to know, what was causing this error ;-)
Well at least u're connected, I'm facing the same problem as the thread starter. No data flow at all. Browser showing me offline msg. I had the same problem on the 1st day with the phone after I woke up. previously playing with most of the default aps. So i'm not sure what went wrong, did a factory reset and it works fine.
Until, few hours ago, I tried my kies air which didn't work. Browser couldnt load the address given. And I thought i had an outdated kies air, so i went to click on samsungapps, which failed to update me. At that point the wifi is still working, i leave my phone for about 30 mins, and when i came back. The same problem which happened on the 1st day came back. I was hoping to find an answer here so I didnt do the factory reset it. On another note, the phone wifi works after restart, but wouldn't last.
Edit: The wifi works after i resetted my modem to default. oh well. at least that solved it.

Hi,
Did you find out what setting was causing the connection issue? I also have this problem with my Tenda router. I thought it might be the wireless N, but disabling that doesn't fix it. I have a wireless distribution system set up with other tenda routers so didn't want to disable all the settings to troubleshoot if i can help it!
Thanks

I have the same problem, my router is N and the conection between SGS2 and my router is bad. Any idea?
Same problem here, I'm running WZR-AGL300NH in access point connected to my Ubuntu Server. Everything else works in the house just fine but SG2 stops transmitting data after a while.
I recently upgraded to KF1 firmware (and unknowingly wiped out whole phone, being on the bleeding edge and that didn't seem to help.
I would very much appreciate all tips because this problem is very annoying!
Additional Info:
- Buffalo is running latest firmware
- Authentication WPA2-PSK
- Encryption AES

Same symptoms here. Cisco DDR2200. WPA2 PSK. Haven't tried fiddling with the router yet.
This seems to be a common problem. Anyone knows of a definitive fix?

I keep losing connection from my phone via wifi like everyone else in this thread
edit: I've just assigned my phone an IP address via my routers settings and I can connect to the net again
Also when it wasn't working, I couldn't ping the phone. When I assigned the IP just now I still couldn't ping it.
When I did a tracert to it, I could get to it when the IP was assigned and when it wasn't.
I have no removed the assigned IP for the phone from the router. Wifi connection is still working after disconnecting/reconnecting wifi on the phone.
I can also now ping the phone, where as before it was getting timeouts.
Also when it wasn't working the first time when I did a tracert it was showing up as HPsomething (didn't make note of the numbers)
this time when it is working it's just showing up as the IP address when doing a tracert.
Another update:
Just checked my printer, it has an IP address manually set on it, which at one stage when the phone wasn't working for internet it had the same IP as the printer, hence when tracert'ing it I was going to the printer instead of the phone and getting the HP etc back.
When it wasn't working at that time and looking at my routers DHCP list, it had the MAC Address of the phone against the IP that the printer has....
So I've got some issues with how my own network is setup ^_^ which looks like is causing me grief.
So the issue is with DHCP? Setting a static IP fixes it? I'll have to try, but I doubt this is a problem with the network, as all my other devices use DHCP without this problem.
I have the exact same problem!!
It's really annoying.
i was having problems with wifi too.. it keeps scanning and checking, etc, signal dropping for no reason..
fixed mine..well for me it worked
backup ur phone ( i dont take responsibility if ur phone catches fire or dies or chases u around )
u need to be rooted
download FXR WiFi fix and rescue from market
and just run the app.
now my wifi signal stays constant speed and i get good speeds
alternatively try
WiFi Fixer
both of them will cause high battery usage..i think since it keeps the signal at maximum.. so only enable wireless when i need it or use juice defender or green power.
greenpower seems great. using this at the moment
I seem to be having some problems with my tab gray 16 gb wifi version.
When i started it for the first time it could not find my wifi, i went ahead with setup and when i was finished i looked into wifi settings and it had found my router.
A few days went by and all of a sudden i was connected to the router but had no internet connection, I checked my computer which was connected by wire and it had internet connection. I then tried to switch wifi on and off on the tab and since then i cannot find my router.
I've tried rebooting both router and tab and it has not resolved the problem. Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any solutions? I thank you all in advance.
btw the router is a D-link dir-655

Unplug the router and plug it back in. I have experience this issue as well. My desktop was able to connect to the Internet. But my laptop won't connect through wireless. Not even my wireless printer. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it works fine. Sometimes, it's other way round.

I have the same router and I don't have any problems connecting. I did have many problems with my OG Droid phone connecting though, until I switched from WEP to WPA encryption.
Can you see the router on your Tab, but it just won't connect? Or is it not visible at all?
I have tried unplugging the router leaving it unplugged for 30 sexonds or so and then plugging it back in, no luck. And no I cant even see the router, I see lots of routers but not mine, I can connect to my phone using mobile access point but just not my router
Does your router use a hidden SSID?

This might sound funny, but do you have anything else connected to the WiFi? My router sometimes does this same exact thing and it happens to do with the traffic going through it. It happens alot when I'm using my laptop and my Xbox 360 and I turn off my Xbox for some reason. The way that I've always found that fixes it, is by rebooting all my connected devices along with rebooting my router. It's as if their is a conflict with the connections that make it not work.
No hidden SSID and at the moment nothing is connected to my router wireless
edit: Solution! logged in to my router switch of wi-fi, turned it back on, enabled wpa2 security and there it was right on my tab, welcome back old friend
I had the same problem, but solved it by changing locale setting on my router from Czech Republic (where I live) to USA.
figure out how many devices are connected to your router. My router can hold only five devices at a time. Also change the channel in your router settings.
good to know problem is solved

Hi,
I got a new Sony Tablet S a few weeks back and I have this really weird problem.
As soon as I on Wifi and connect to my college network, it connects fine and webpages open as expected.
But after a minute or so, all data transfer stops even though I am connected to the network. Initially I thought
it was a hardware issue with my tablet but when I went to my nearest McDonalds and connected to their connection, everything
worked fine and there was no interruption in the data transfer.
I tried a couple of other hotspots around town and they seemed to work fine.
So, now obviously its a problem with my college network. The funny thing is that my laptop, my cellphone and about a thousand other devices
connected to the same network work just fine and do not stop exchanging data all of a sudden.
I have tried various apps available on the Play store but none helped.
My (geeky) friend told me that the issue may be some sort of interference between the routers (Cisco Aironet series, I think), as every floor in my hostel has 4 routers, but he could not give a solution. I have also referred the problem to my system administrator but he too could not come up with a solution.
If anyone has a solution to this, please help!
Thanks in advance
Really strange.
I have a rule that occasionally works, strange probelms can be sorted out by a restart, if not, a reset mostly helps.
Can I suggest resetting your tab if not done yet!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Did both. Doesn't help.
you need to re-flash the wifi modules, which comes with the kernel usually. But I dont think that possible at the moment.
Can you elaborate?
I have the same problem with my tablet, and when I called Sony for technical support, they said that the tablet is not compatible with the router I have. Which in my honest opinion dont think is the problem.
But as a way around, what I do is turn off the wifi for few seconds and then turn it back on.
This way the problem gets resolved.
I hope it helps you.
I have exactly the same problem, unfortunately the problem is with the wifi in my home, my sony tablet connect and disconnects, or it stop transmitting after a while, but other devices (my htc phone, my tablet, ipad, iphone) doesn't have this problem.
and as you said, when I go to other places the tablet works fine.
Someone said me that the tablet is not compatible with the motorola router of my ISP
I've been searching but there is no solution, by now I turn off and turn on the wifi every time I lost internet
Thanks people, but this is hardly a solution. It means I need to turn on and turn off the wifi every 60 seconds to browse the internet. Bye bye downloads, buffering videos and installing apps through the play store
Is the Sony Tablet S the only tablet in the world that is incompatible with routers? Then Sony should make sure that its clearly listed on their website that routers from major companies are not compatible with our Tablet
I solved the problem .. at last for me,
1 - turn off wifi.
2- in accounts - turn off "auto connect"
3- turn on wifi ( test if work )
4- reconect the accounts
too simple .. but works , try it..
I am sorry but its not working (that is if by auto connect, you meant auto sync)
Are you sure you are telling the solution to the problem I mentioned or something else?
Hi, I was suffering exactly the same problem and it boiled down that was a compatibility issue with the router. Unfortunately I could not find any other solution but replace the router itself!

Looks like I have to do the same. except I cant make my institute change their routers
What kind of encryption are you using on your router? Try disabling the encryption and see if the problem persists.
Also, what channel are you broadcasting on? It could be a highly populated channel, try changing that if you can.
I don't know what options are available through your routers configuration page.
I will enqure with my system admin and get back.
Meanwhile, I got a workaround to this problem. There is a freeware called MyPublicWifi which creates a virtual hotspot on my computer. This hotspot works fine and I can share my router's internet through this, even though it means I need to keep my PC on while browsing on my tablet.
I have experienced exactly the same problem since I bought the tablet. The router I have at home is a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2. After a very long time trial-and-error, I have found a solution to it.
(1) Router setting: Force to set the 300Mbps mode of Buffalo router to 20MHz, not auto nor 40MHz. Some routers may display 150Mbps mode.
(2) Tablet setting: Settings->Wifi->advanced->Wi-fi disconnect policy, set to "Never"
You may try it and I think this will resolve the wifi disconnection problem. As for the reason, I think it is related to 11n because I have not found any problem with 11a/b/g router yet.
Hope this helps!!
