Hi,
I do have a WDS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system) at home and use it a lot when walking from room to room.
Recently I noticed, that the Archos device doesnt handle the WDS properly. When I look at the WiFi signal it jumps from good to bad, so I think it jumps from one AP to another AP, although I am not moving. I noticed it first when I was downloading a big file and the rates where flapping from fast to slow all the time.
Does anyone else have these issues? I use UD 1.5. My Laptops and other devices (HTC Desire, HTC Magic, Samsung Ace, ...) work perfect, I tested them all!
Regards,
Alex
I have set up WDS at home as well, and encountered no problem whatsoever with either UD1.0 or UD1.5.1.
Archos should be able to choose the stronger signal and connect, although at times it may still have connected to the weaker signal AP instead of the stronger one, for me that's not too much of a concern as both APs have fast connections anyway, that should be the reason you set up WDS in the first place.... so why would you care which AP it is connected to?

Ummm ... if it doesn't matter which AP you connect to, what could possibly be the point of having more than one AP?!?!
I am no expert in this, but I believe, that when you set up a WDS, then both APs sent out all the BSSIDs of the systems inside the WDS.
This is what happens in my opinion:
When the Archos 70IT see's the good signal (broadcast), everything is fine. When the broadcast from the second AP arrives with a weak signal, the A70IT goes from 55MBit/s or whatever speed it was to 11 or 1 Mbit/s or whatever. At least it seems so.
Do you guys understand what I mean?

Don't quite understand your point, the SSID of all APs under WPS is the same, and for me all routers are the same speed - ok, the client WPS router is half the speed of the main AP because the client has to receive and transmit at the same time, but it is still at 65Mbps, which is over the max speed of the G connection the Archos is capable of. The whole point of WDS is you shouldn't need to care which router/AP it is connected to, you seem to be connecting to the same one router/AP everywhere around the WDS network.

Archos should be able to choose the stronger signal. For me, I seldom get the case, if one signal is very strong and the other is so week it drops to below 11Mbps, Archos should be able to choose the stronger signal automatically.
Thats the point, it should do that, but it seems like it doesnt do this very good! The whole WiFi isnt quite good in the Archos (signal quality isnt good).
Hi all,
my TP keeps disconnecting with the wifi router in an uneven intervels of time and reconnects after 3-4 seconds.
i have tried with multiple routers and its happening with all of them
i have no problem with signal strength but disconnecting is irritating more
is this issue already known issue and should be resolved with software update or is it faulty device?
Mine did something like that but every 5 minutes it disconnected. A factory reset fixed my problem, yours may be different though.

Are you using bluetooth for audio/file transfer? if so, yes, this is a known issue.
If not, then not necessarily. You may want to try using WiFi Analyzer to find the best suitable network configuration for your router and seeing if improves the Prime's ability to maintain a stable connection. Otherwise, return/RMA if a factory reset doesn't do the trick.
I recently purchased the 16gb Sony Tablet S and am contemplating on whether or not to return it by the 30 day window due to sporadic wifi connection at my apartment. The issue is not as much the reobtaining wifi after the screen unlocks, as it is the general holding of the wifi connection when the screen is on.
I've isolated the problem to my specific router, as it works PERFECTLY at my GF's apt and my parent's house. Always connects right away and stays connected. However at my apt it doesn't always connect right way and have to manually turn the wifi off and on again, and sometimes have to manually hit connect from the wifi screen. When it finally obtains IP address it will connect, but most of the time for only a short period (like 20-30 seconds) before the wifi signal on bottom right just disappears. Then I have to toggle the wifi on and off again and try again. Very annoying. Sometimes it will connect though, and the wifi holds up like it should.
Here are the fixes I've tried so far:
* Reset and Factory Rest device
* Forget/Reconnect to network from device
* Update Router Firmware
* Configure Router - g/n mode and n mode from b/g/n
* Set Router Channel from auto to 1,6 and 11.
* Wifi Lock App (doesn't work and drains battery)
Personally, I feel like the tablet itself has an inferior wireless radio. Compared side by side to my other wifi devices, it has noticeably less signal at the router and diminishes quicker the farther away you go. Now, this doesn't really bother me as I'm usually always near my router. However, when I was scanning all the wifi networks around me (in cmd: netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid) I found over 30 networks around me all using the full channel spectrum. I've tried every channel on my router, but 11 seems the best.
Would a crowded wifi area affect the tablet? But again, my laptop, 2 phones, and PS3 connect at every channel with no problems at my apt. At my parent's house and GF's apt there are only 1 or 2 other available networks that could also be on my channel. That's the only thing I can think of.
I just don't understand why only the tablet is having wifi problems.
I have about a week left to return it, and would like to keep the tablet, but running out of patience. Next, I think I will try using MAC address and see if that works.
Any help would be appreciated!
Try this!
I had the same issue.
I solved the problem
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.

Thats certaintly not the problem since i have so many devices logged in on my network, and not having the same problems,
The Wi-Fi on Sony tablet has known issue's like loosing connection when screen goes standby, even if you checked this in settings never to shut down.
The steps in the post above can be the sollution, and if not, sony will make somehow a repair or a dev would fix this. goodluck.

Thanks. I tried that sequence and it seemed to work for a little bit, but then the problems reoccurred.
Again, the problem is not just that the wifi doesn't pick up right away after standby, but also, and more importantly, it looses wifi BEFORE the screen goes out while I'm using it, repeatedly.
Its very annoying and only happens at my apt and not at other networks. No other device on my network has this problem.
Nobody else has had this problem before?
I remember from older posts that tablet s has problem with certain brand routers. What routers are used in your places.

Its a ZyXel brand router that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure the one's that do work are both Linksys. The ZyXel router is probably a cheap one because it came bundled in a promotion from my ISP.
I guess I could try another n router, but still find it strange that all my other wifi devices are fine with the current router.
Wifi Signal
Sony is not as reliable as it used to be... My Tablet S keeps loosing WiFi signal, and the solution I found was to turn off and back on the WiFi. This fix the issue.
However another very annoying problem is that very often I need to hard reset the tablet as it locks the screen with no other way to recover it. Shame on Sony. An the annoying side flash light is ridiculous. I used to have an A100 that aside any design issues, worked perfectly never had any operational issue with it. Should have upgraded to a A500...
What worked for me.
I bought a Sony S as a birthday present for my wife. That was yesterday and today she went to work and left me to set it up for her.
I have a Cisco E3200 router. The tablet could see my router and connect to it but would drop the connection after 5 seconds.
Well, that was the first hour and a half of my day.
Finally, with nothing else to try, I set up a guest account on the router. The tablet found it and connected to it on the first attempt and has been connected now for over four hours including multiple restarts.
I have no idea why this worked. I just know that it did.
Clive.
Same issues here when docking tablet sometimes, but my work around is to turn WiFi off, and hit Fast Reboot ( app by Great Bytes Software) then turn WiFi back on. Fast Reboot seems to do a soft reboot on apps and system and it only takes a few seconds.
Hope this helps!

Wifi Issues
I bought the 32G version from Woot recently. The WiFi reception is awful. I am on my second unit same thing.
4 feet from Router (on 2nd floor), 3 bars out of 4. 15 feet goes to 2. Downstairs goes to 1 bar 1MBS. And drops like a hot potato. Sony has sent a RMA for repair. Being this is my second unit with same issue, I doubt there is a fix.
I use a LAptop, netbook, android phone on the same router. No issues. They all work well, even in the basement!
Updated to 4.0 on my original unit, no change.
Just ranting here, hoping for a surprise fix. Other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play? I love the tablet otherwise. Will probably throw and a spare router downstairs or feed it off my 4G phone. Now that really sucks..LOL
Anyone else
4.03 can solve this problem?

sony tablet s wifi issue
Hi all,
after weeks of study here is what i found out:
- wifi issue is not a hard ware issue, it is simply the software.
- wifi issue occurs only with certain routers with both N & G channels , Especially Netgear and BT.
- Wifi manger app makes it better and less annoying, issue still there but less occurring. try different channels.
- Tablet S for some reason does not like the channels used by certain Routers.
- do not bother with wifi lock app, does not do the job and steals ur battery.
- after weeks of trial, tablet is just great, but needs attention from Google.
SO
My friend's wife works for Google, when asked for the favor of the insider , engineers in Google said, first stage is to roll out Xperia release 5 to try and fix problem, then both S and Xperia will get Jelly bean with a definite fix. Testing as we speak.
all I can do now is get a good router and hope for the best.

I have tried 3 different Routers.
Verizon/ActionTecMi424
CheckPoint Z-100G
Linksys WRT54GL
No change no difference.
I finally installed another router on the other floor. Now it works in entire house, but have to change router connections if I move to a different floor.
The big question here I think is:
Is every Tablet S this way or do we have some bad samples? Software or Hardware. Sony has given me and RMA # to return for repair. I am hesitant to do that. If there is no fix or all units are this way.
I am not 100% sure but from my own testing I found it working 90% of the time everywhere else, here is how I tested:
home netgear, does not hold wifi , have to refresh page all the time to browse internet.
Work ( different router not sure what type yet) works just like a dream, fast no wifi drops no refreshes needed.
took it to most free wifi spots, not a problem.
friends house BT, Same issue again.
Wifi manager made it a bit better yes ( have to test now on channels 12 , 13 or 15 , wifi lock app does not work.
I hate to get a different router to get same issue at the end. however different posts elsewhere suggested setting router to N on and G off channels testing each time you make a change, on tablet set to manual ( have not done this bit yet).
It's not like we are all being picky here with Sony, we like the tablet itself and we bought it with a lot of money, we want to be able to browse the internet download things without getting our livers and kidneys enlarged.
more to follow , I am really hoping to be able to get my friend's wife update as she told us GOOGLE IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

Bought Sitecom Router last friday, I can say that now my tablet holds wifi signal very well... :good:
WIFI Issue fixed
All,
there was an update last Thursday that fixed the wifi issue, I am not really sure what but my tablet s now holds and keeps wifi everywhere.
I had issued before with netgear and bt routers and after last Thursday it was just fine, i need to review the recent updates done and Let you all know.
I tried it everywhere and works perfect, download speed is perfect , not one drop of wifi so far.
I assume either Sony or Google did something here as it was getting an update last Thursday that lasted about 10 minutes, could not figure out what was that update yet.
Just bought a Xperia tablet Z and am having problems with it remaining connected to my WIFI. It's updated to the latest software release.
Initial connection is good and shows good signal strength and works as normal. Periodically the WIFI then disconnects and shows "authentication problem" against the network and most often needs a manual connect to regain the connection, even though occasionally reconnects by itself after 10-15 seconds.
When the WIFI network disconnects I have to manual reconnect (the error message is "authentication problem" ). Once I have reconnected, the WIFI works OK for a short while (3-10 mins) and then i get the error message again.
If I restart the Xperia the problem goes away for a relatively longer length of time however it soon comes back ( after 30 minutes+).
I have many other devices connected to the WIFI during this period all of which work fine. WIFI analysis shows excellent signal strength - the tablet drops the connection even while two feet away from the router - and good signal to noise ratio. Looks like a bug in the firmware to me.
Any assistance would be good.
Note: there is a very similar thread here Sony mobile forum from which I have copied a lot of the info as I am having exactly the same problem

I thought I was the only with this problem...this happens to me almost four times a day where the wifi would just lose it's connection and I have to reconnect manually. I hope this is a bug and not my tablet...
Look, unfortunately this is a problem that has been dragging from sony tablet s and xperia tablet s (which I have).
What you can do (like me) is to use advanced wifi lock (in google play). That will not disconnect the antenna. It is a temporary solution but it's something.

Just spoke with Sony assistance, they said to return it and ask for replacement. No attempt to debug whatsoever.
Well i used to have this issue, it was very annonying. Definitely the problem was not the tablet it was the router. The problem is that usually all the routers have the channel value set to auto, so if you put it on 9-10, and restart the router, you won't face this again.
I did that and so far the wifi is stable for my tablet, and even my Macbook seems to have a better connection.
I experienced the same problems with both my tablet and phone (XZ). I got better switching the channel in the router. However, now it's solved. The solution came when I got FTTH installed at home and my ISP replaced my router. Since then, no more wifi disconnections. So I guess the problem was in the router.

For security reasons, the app I mentioned (advanced wifi lock free) causes a boot animation loop in tablets xperia s (and others). So, be careful for readers post.

Same thing here, plus WiFi performance seems to be particulary weak with this tablet in general. I get three "bars" only when I'm right next to the router. When I'm outside on my porch (about 10 meters from the box and two walls inbetween) I get merely one bar and WiFi drops or simply "stalls" after a few minutes. I already set the router to a fixed channel. I have this problem only with the Sony tablet, our other devices (Thinkpad laptop, Iphone 4S, SGSII and SGSIII, iPad 4) all have a perfectly fast and stable connection even in the "porch scenario".
I really hope Sony improves this with the next firmware update! Any hints besides WiFi repeater, which I already ordered?
Just to update my original post, my replacement tablet has been connected for about 20 hrs now and it has dropped the FIFI signal only once (even signal reception is not very strong in comparison to my Samsung Galaxy III phone).
I don't know if it is of any benefit, but I have also installed this app
That's a bulls**t app, has no effect.
I'm in love with this tablet and want to buy it immediately, but this issue is scaring the hell out of me as I mainly use only Wi-Fi to connect to the internet. Are there at least a few of you who have no Wi-Fi connectivity issues at all?

I've had my Tablet Z for about 10 days. In that time I've used it with my WiFi at home and at work ( WiFi tethered to my Nexus 4). In both cases, I've never been more than 3m from the WiFi source. In all that time I think I've dropped the connection only once.
I've watched (streaming with WiFi) a few tv programmes of about 1hr each, and they have played without a problem.
I've just used an app called WiFi analyzer to compare the signal strength on my Nexus 4 with the Tablet Z at different places around my house and the signal strength is the same on the phone and tablet.
So, as far as I can tell, if you've got a decent WiFi signal, you should have no problems.
I've used both CM10.1 and Sony stock ROM (.370) over that period (mostly the Sony ROM).
I've had very similar problem with Mac. I have established the static IP addresses for all my wireless and wired devices and it seemed like it worked but after a while my laptop started losing connection again. I know you might not like my answer but the only solution to this problem is a new router. When I ran d-link WBR-1310, I've had all kind of problems and since I replaced it with Netgear WNR3500 I have not had a lost connection yet. Not even once. 3 different laptops, MacBook, Xperia Tablet Z, bunch of iPhones, iPads and Android phones work like a charm. BTW all my devices have assigned local static IP addresses. Hopefully that will solve your problem.
I have found a possible fix! Please test for yourself whether it works for you and report!
I have disabled the app "Smart Connect". (It's a system app, so it's only possible to disable it via "Titanium Backup" or a similar app on a rooted device.)
Now the WiFi doesn't lose connection anymore when it's weak.

I had issues with this as well, with my ASUS rt-n66u router. However, I was using DDWRT at the time, and swapping back, with mostly default settings, to the stock firmware resolved the issue entirely. I've now not had any drops on either the 5 or 2.4 ghz bands.
has anyone found a concrete reason as to why the tablet either drops the wifi connection or there's the authentication problem?
my tablet was dropping the wifi connection so i changed the router's channel to 9 and it doens't drop the wifi connection after that
however (i dont know if this is related) my tablet turns off the wifi radio when the screen is locked for a longer period of time even when i keep stamina mode off (although i read it only turns off the data connection radio) and i set the wifi radio to always be on even when the screen is locked
also after changing the router's channel to 9, i get the authentication problem ._.
EDIT:
If anyone would be willing to share, what authentication method and encryption are you using for your wireless network? And does your tablet keep a stable connection?
I'm currently using WPA-Personal with TKIP encryption and i come up with both dropped connections and the authentication errors. (trying to diagnose this in hopes of not having to return my device because it's defective)
So I've been dealing with this for over a year now, trying everything under the sun to get this to work and I noticed that the majority of the time the issue happens with Asus Routers. And ironically I have one too, an RT-AX86U to be exact.
So after a lot of research & trial and error, I found myself a good Temporary Solution that has been working for over a week now, with the WiFi signal lagging very briefly on a rare occasion, with maybe one time where I thought the issue came back but the whole internet was down instead .
So here's what I did:
1. No Smart Switch was used to set up my S23 Ultra. Never liked it to be honest. I use Samsung Cloud and Google Drive via Google One to back up everything & I keep all my stuff in the cloud so it was only a re-download of what was needed. And I only brought back only my Messages & Call Log, cuz I'm forgetful . I also manually added my WiFi to my phone, I didn't bring it over. I also cleared it from my Known WiFi Networks as well beforehand.
2. I switched the Router's software from ASUSMerlin back to Stock ASUS software, and updated it to the most STABLE version. Get it from ASUS directly & install it via the web gui.
3. I did both the HARD Factory Reset AND the NORMAL Factory Reset after I updated the router. There's two versions of it apparently. I did the version where you are physically pressing buttons to do it, and then I did the normal one on the Web Gui. Look up Hard Factory Reset *insert router name here* and it'll give you the way to do it for that particular version.
4. Went through Initial Router Set-up normally. Kept the same name & password, **stick to WPA2 security, you'll see why in a second**
5. *on the phone* Turned on Developer Settings on the phone, turned on Wifi Safe Mode.
6. Settings, Connections, WiFi, tap on the 3 Dots on the top right and choose Intelligent WiFi & turn off Prioritize Real-time Data.
7. *in Web Gui for the Router* Turn off 802.11ax/WiFi 6 mode. It's in Wireless. Make sure you do it for both bands (the first section will be which band you're editing, choose accordingly)
8. I actually kept on the 160 Mhz option for the 5Ghz because I want my speed dammit. Hasn't affected anything.
9. Switched my DNS (including IPv6) out of Cloudflare to a different DNS, I used Google. IPv4 is in the WAN section, IPv6 is in the IPv6 section (switch only if you actually have that one normally) **I didn't try different DNS options, Google was always my second choice, my focus was NOT using Cloudflare. Try different ones and see, I was always having issues with Cloudflare**
10. **for fun cuz why not** Restart everything. Phone, Router, and Modem if you're feeling fancy. Why? It doesn't hurt so might as well.
That's it. No Phone Mac. No Static IP on the phone. I'm on my 5Ghz Band consistently and it works almost flawlessly. Granted I would love to have Wifi6 available to me so I can get a better router with the 6Ghz Band as an option, but being able to use my 5Ghz in a stable way on my phone when I need that is more important to me. So there we go.
You should change the title of the post by: "For crap routers like ASUS, this is the solution I found to have stable connections with Samsung"

Asus routers are know to have lot of bugs and instability caused by bad firmware and their hardware, some models worse than others, plenty of issue you will find in the forums and even at Amazon if you read the reviews.
My current router is Netgear RAXE300, solid as a rock, much better and faster than the older one it replaced, a Netgear R7800. I will consider Asus as a brand for motherboards and GPUs but never for Wifi routers.

Which is funny because I would never consider ASUS for a motherboard or GPU but love their networking gear and would have to be convinced hard to buy another brand.

Asus routers are know to have lot of bugs and instability caused by bad firmware and their hardware, some models worse than others, plenty of issue you will find in the forums and even at Amazon if you read the reviews.
My current router is Netgear RAXE300, solid as a rock, much better and faster than the older one it replaced, a Netgear R7800. I will consider Asus as a brand for motherboards and GPUs but never for Wifi routers.

Good to know, thank you for that
Chexk out the UNIFI Dream Machine. I have gigabit service and get an 850mb download.

You should change the title of the post by: "For crap routers like ASUS, this is the solution I found to have stable connections with Samsung"
I have another brand that has a solid wifi connection with just default configuration as it should be.

I've been using an ASUS (RT-AC68U) router for 9 years and never had a single problem with it. I only recently took it out of service as it wasn't Wi-Fi 6 compatible. What is it about them that you proclaim them to be crap?

Maybe it worked fine for you, my experience with routers Asus is too much dumb marketing and unreliable routers, not only my case but lot of people having issues from dropping connections (very common in Asus) to firmware issues specially with the AX series.
I actually had issues with my S22 Ultra with Wifi, I always thought it was my Wifi that was messed up so I would switch it to the 2.4GHz. I'm actually not having the issue at all with my 23 Ultra.
If I were to ask you which, among all of the things you did, fixed the issue, I bet you wouldn't reakly know, would you? There's too many changes that "might have" fixed the issue.
I haven't had any known issues with an S22 Ultra or an S23 Ultra connected via wi-fi to an ASUS XT12 WiFi-6 mesh system. But did need to reboot the "slave" mesh unit once - when it wasn't working for any wifi clients. I previously had an RT-AC3100 that was also solid.
I did have prior bad experiences with Netgear and D-Link back in the 802.11g and 802.11n days - but that was a long time ago.

No problems with my Asus RT-AX3000 either.
I have an AX11000 and haven't had issues with the S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, Fold 4 or the S23 Ultra. I can use 2.4, 5Ghz w8th Wi-Fi 6 and the 5Ghz 160mhz band. Not sure why you are having issues.
