Tried to connect my new TB to my Wifi with WPA2 security and hidden network, and could not do it. I have Moto X and Dinc, and both no problem. My wife has Evo with the same problem... By the way, I have a linksys E2100L AP. Any one else???
Are you not in a 4G area?

I have the exact same problem. I just got the Thunderbolt today and haven't configured it much, so it pretty much has all of its defualt settings. I have a Cicso E3000 that has two radios in it. one is 5Ghz and one is 2.4Ghz. They're both hidden. the only time I can get a connection is when the 2.4Ghz radio is broadcasting its SSID. Here are the settings on that page when it works:
-Network Mode: Mixed; Wireless-B/G Only; Wireless-B Only; Wireless-G Only; Wireless-N Only; Disabled
-Network Name (SSID): xxxxxxxx
-Channel Width: Auto(20MHz or 40MHz); 20MHz only
-Channel: Auto; 1 - 2.412GHZ; 2 - 2.417GHZ; 3 - 2.422GHZ; 4 - 2.427GHZ; 5 - 2.432GHZ; 6 - 2.437GHZ; 7 - 2.442GHZ; 8 - 2.447GHZ; 9 - 2.452GHZ; 10 - 2.457; GHZ; 11 - 2.462GHZ
-SSID Broadcast: Enabled Disabled
I can hide the network and the TB looses its connection and unhide the network ant the connection restored. Am I missing something obvious? I've had this working on every other device (computers, PDSa, phones) that I've ever tried.
Any ideas?
my hidden network is fine. Even activating at bestbuy i used their hidden network, although theirs was unsecured

My TB works fine with my hidden wifi SSID. Linksys WRT54G.
Its got to be the router then. Though I can't for the life of me figure out what it could be. Back to Google I go.
Fixed it.
Chances are your Linksys E2100L and my Cisco E3000 (Linksys) have the same issue.
I was messing around with the router's management interface:
On the "Wireless -> Basic Wireless Settings" page, I had Mixed selected for Network Mode. Then I set it for Wireless-N Only and got a error message stating that my "Wireless Security Mode" (WPA2/WPA Mixed) was incompatible with "Wireless-N Only". The message told me that if I wanted to use "Wireless-N Only" Network Mode, I had to use "WPA2-Personal" or WPA2-Enterprise" Security Mode. (I'm not really sure what the difference is between the three - Mixed/Personal/Enterprise) I put it back to Mixed.
On the Wireless -> Wireless Security page I had WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode selected. When I changed it to WPA2-Personal - Connected!!
I hope this helps. May not be applicable to other non-Linksys/Cisco wireless routers.
i was bummed out i dont have wpa Enterprise. I cant connect to my work Wifi....thank god for awesome LTE!!!!

I am having real trouble trying to get Barnacle Wifi Tether to work
I am running windows 7 and am able to detect Barnacle in my wireless networks. I get a full 5 bar excellent signal. When I try and connect, the phone seems to connect, as Barnacle confirms connection in the log. There is though as problem, as in the wirless network tab on the taskbar there is an exclamation mark and when I hover over it with the mouse it reads: Barnacle no internet access
Following something I read on a previous forum I set my Barnacle settings as following
BSSID - nothing entered
Wireless ENcryption - disabled

Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - none
Skip wpa_supplicant - enabled
WAN - tiwlan0
LAN - tiwlanO

DNS 2 - nothing entered

I would be greateful if anyone could tell me how I can get this working? ARe my settins correct? Is there anything I could change. I have tried chaning the channel but that has no effect. Any ideas what I can do to get this working?
I have looked at other forum posts but am still not having any luck.
I think I have sorted it has I have now left the WAN and LAN field empty. I then connect and then I have to press associate once connected otherwise it does not work. My only problem is that it seems very slow and I get frequent drops in connection. I think the download speed is around 3kb/s and the upload around 1 kb/s. I am not in the best converage area, however this is much slower than when I use the phone to browse the internet without a pc. I seem to be getting only a 2 bar signal. When I broswe the internet directly from the phone I can get at 3 - 4 bar signal. What is going on? I can at least play youtube videos when using the phone on it's own, however due to the slow speed this is not possible with tethering.
Something must be wrong, my 3G signal is exactly the same wether im tethering or not..
Also my PC is putting out about 1.4mbit DL & 0.3mbit on wifi tether, same as the phone alone..
Has anyone else had the same problem wig their flyer where it keeps dropping the wi fi connection.
I have a legend number of other devices connected to my network including android phones and an iPad and no others have the same problem.

I have same issue. I tested device on different WiFi routers. I think the problem only with old WiFi routers. With routers that support WiFi n standard I don't have this problem.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium App
I don't think that is the issue as I have a fairly new draytec router with b, g and n mixed mode and all other devices connected to it are fine
I have the same problem with my router. Happens everywhere - on my wireless G router at home and on Wireless-N at work. I have both power saver and sleep mode disabled. (though I don't think either setting was causing the problem.)
I flashed my flyer with honeycomb and the problem went away. It only happened with the gingerbread build
If your signal is good then there is an issue with Android's handling of DHCP (not specific to Flyer or HTC) that you might run into on certain setups. One way of fixing this is to establish a static IP for your device on your network. Of course if you do not control the router, you can't do that but at home you can. read this for information on the issue. http://www.net.princeton.edu/android/android-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address-11236.html
This issue keeps popping up across the board on android tablets because they are often on wifi, more than phones.
I don't know why, but if I switchoff 3G network when use WiFi connection, WiFi works fine. Try this.
Solution
I feel foolish. I had been looking under power settings, but the setting that fixed this issue for me was under Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Menu Button -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy. By default on my Best Buy Wi-Fi only Flyer this is set to "After 15 min".
This was a real pain, because email doesn't push in the background and when you wake the device, it has to reconnect, then sync every time. Switching this setting to "Never" has really improved my day to day use of this device.
Just got a Wifi/3G Flyer today, running Gingerbread 2.3.3. and software version 1.56.720.2. I have a WPA2-PSK secured Belkin wifi router at home. Currently, it has 2 laptops and 2 phones (BB & Galaxy S2) connected without any problems.
My Flyer refuses to recognize the router, but it shows up my neighbor's similar WPA2 secured SSIDs instead - (so presumably the wifi hardware is working).
I have already tried/checked the following:
Router's SSID is not hidden.
Router supports push button WPS - does not work with the Flyer though it configured my Samsung Galaxy S2 perfectly fast.
Rebooted router.
Changed router security to none, WEP 64 bit and WEP 128 bit.
Manually entered settings - it just says my network is 'not in range' despite my sitting right next to it.
My router settings are:
Authentication - WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK
Algorithm - AES
Wireless channel - auto.
Wireless mode - b/g/n all supported.
Is there a fix for this that doesn't involve rooting the device?
Update: Used the software update to get it to 2.3.4 and software version 2.27.720.1, and it still is showing up every goddamn wifi network in the vicinity other than my own one
change your channel from Auto to channel 10 or 11. Normally this will not affect your other devices. It seems that the Flyer is quite sensitive for this kind of 'problems'
Holy quack, that worked!
Thank you so much! I set the channel to 11, after which it started detecting the network, but would connect and instant disconnect. A reboot fixed it for good!
I am not able to connect my Transformer Prime with my new Asus N66U router. I tried all channels and security settings and it only connected when to the router with open system setting. I am able to connect it to my old Netgear WDR3700 in good speed without any problems. Does anyone run into similar situation?
I have the rt-n66u router as well and never had a problem. Are you sure you are using the right encryption settings, Do other devices connect, have you updated the router's firmware? There was a new update just today.
http://support.asus.com/download.as...T-N66U (VER.B1)&os=&hashedid=PZkFHlMrGWzVROxT
have you ensured your router has the latest firmware?
I have the N56u model and no issues.
Yes, I have the latest firmware. My Galaxy Nexus connects just fine. The Transformers Prime actually see the router with strong signal. It just refuses to connect to it. BTW I set the router using WPA-PSK.
Is your prime running the latest update? Or, have you tried DD-WRT?
I have the latest firmware in both devices. However, my Prime is the first batch and may suffers from wifi issues. I may have to try Tomato or Dd-wrt firmware.

Some routers let you disable the broadcasting of the network name (SSID). Computers/network cards that conform correctly with the 802.11 specification will refuse to connect. Have you checked the settings for both 2.4 and 5GHz? - of course the router should not allow disabling of the SSID!
odd. Try wiping the data. Small pin hole in back of router. Reset it. Then 192.168.1.1. go in there and reenter your SSID etc on wireless.
For ****s and giggles. Pump up your 80mw Tx power of wireless to around 160mw. I been running 160mw tx power for awhile and have not and any problems. This baby can go all the way up to 500mw. Of course that is U.S. FCC range limit. With 500mw you can see your wireless from few blocks away.
If your prime is connecting to your other wireless router. Then has to do with some setting in on the RTN66U. Hopefully the wipe will clear any setting in the firmware.
Forgot to mention. Your prime will only connect to the 2.4ghz. It won't connect to the 5ghz wireless.
Did that already. My Transformer does see the 2.4 Ghz SSID with very strong signal. It just keeps reconnecting and fails to connect again eventually. My Galaxy Nexus can connect in a very good speed. Change back to my old Netgear WDR3700 and my transformer connects to it right away. It seems to me that the problem is the security encryption as connection is established right away in open system. However, it just refuse to connect on whatever setting I tried.

What are the WiFi standards on the Router set to?
Sometimes when a router is set to b/g/n (all combined) it can lead to issues.
I generally keep mine at b/g (no n) on the 2.4 Mhz band, since my n devices run on my router's 5 Ghz band anyway. Try that out.
I tried "auto", "legacy" and "n only" with or without "b and g protection" but still could not connect to the router in any combinations. Will like to know the feedback from anyone who put Tomato on N66U.
If you have kept the same SSID as your old router did you delete the old network settings for that SSID in your TP? Also try a new SSID on the router.
If the router supports WiFi Multimedia (WMM) try disabling it and re-enable it after a connection has been made.
I presume you would know if you had enabled an allowed devices table -MAC addresses. The only other thing I can think of is the size of the "hello I'm here" beacon that the router transmits is too long for the TP and I think that would only be an issue with a very long SSID
Yes, I do keep the old SSID. However, I did forget the network and reconnect to it again in Transformer. My SSID is less than 10 characters. It seems to me that the Transformer is not able to get an IP nor pass the authentication stage.

Well. Go under advanced settings and then Wireless.
Wireless -General tab.
Frequency click (2.4ghz).
Your SSID (name).
Hide SSID = (No)
Wireless Mode put in (N Only).
Control Channel (1).
Channel Bandwidth (20mhz).
Authentication Method (WPA2-Personal).
WPA Encryption (AES).
Enter your WPA Pre-Shared Key (password for SSID).
Network Key Rotation Interval to (0).
Wireless -Professional Tab
Frequency (2.4ghz)
Enable Radio (yes)
Date to Enable Radio (Check all days)
Set AP Isolatd (No)
Multicast Rate (Disable)
RTS (2347)
DTIM (3)
Beacon (100)
Enable TX burst (Enable)
Enable Wireless Multi (Disable)
Enable WMM (Enable)
Tx Power adjustment (80)
Try those settings. See what happens.
Will try it as soon as I get back home. Thanks.
I am finally able to get my Transformer connecting to my RT-N66U router by changing the SSID to a new one. The speed and range are not better to my old Netgear WDR3700 though. Thanks for all the help anyway.

Good to hear!
I've had the occasional connectivity problem with mine, on certain routers I can get connection but no online connectivity.
some routers use a nonstandard DHCP range (i think it may the ones that utilise 192.168.1.x) anyway, if you encounter this it's simple to correct once you know you simply define a manual ip on the prime for that connection and voila! :>

Cool. Glad you got it working.
Well you can always try and pump your TX power adjustment from the default 80 to 160 or more. I was able to increase my range. I think the max is like 500mw the chip is rated at. However, I havent tried that high. I don't want to burn out my chip. Plus heat increases dramatically at those higher mw's. You would have to toss a little laptop cooler underneath it. (run via the routers usb port there).
My connection problem happens again. Just in case someone has similar issue, I solve the problem by exchanging a new one from store.

I have the n66u too and have no issues.
Hi there,
I have near been driven to madness by this problem so im admitting defeat and opening it up to all and everyone.
Very quick history - I have weak signal on the top floor of my house, so i purchased a TP LINK WR702N mini router. I have set this up as a wireless repeater on the top floor, and for the majority of my devices it works great. On my sisters windows laptop, my girlfriends iPhone and iPad, they all see the network, connect with full strength and receive 54Mbps. On all of these devices, I can enter 192.168.1.254 and reach the repeaters settings page, or enter 192.168.1.1 and reach my main router (downstairs) settings page. This suggests to me that everything works fine.
When i connect with an android device (either my Nexus 10 or my samsung galaxy S2) the moment they pick up the strong repeater signal - they lose internet connection. The are connected with 100% and 54Mbps speed to the repeater - but they cannot access the web. I can bring up 192.168.1.254 for the repeater, but they will not access 192.168.1.1 for the main router - I believe this is the problem.
I have tried changing the settings on my main router - I have changed the whole network from WPA to WEP encryption, to no avail
I have changed the android advanced wifi settings, changing to fixed IP on both of the android devices and setting the default gateway and DNS to be 192.168.1.1
I turned off my devices, reset the main router, then turned on the repeater - this appeared to fix the problem - but when i turned the repeater on last night I couldnt get internet access, so i retried this step and it didnt work
as a note, all of the devices on my network have a fixed IP set from my main router - these correspond to the fixed IPs on my android devices.
I have spoke to Google and TP Link supprt, each blame the other, and now I really dont know what to do.
Thanks
::bump::
Make sure your devices do not send out, nor honour, ICMP redirects. Since your are running both on the same subnet, there's a possibility your repeater sends out an ICMP redirect once your Android device addresses the main router, since it IP topological is a closer way talking directly.
Or, use different subnets.
