[Q] NT wireless issue - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Anyone NT (rooted) experiencing wireless disconnect every 12 hrs to 24 hrs
The wireless signal bar may still shows good connection but unable open any website or any network activity
Try disabled wireless but getting unable turn off wireless or failed to turn off wireless
Need to power cycle NT to make wireless back to function then will work for about 12 hrs to 24 hrs
More than 5 devices connect to this Dlink wireless router (802.11N 2.4GHz WPA2-PSK Channel 11) and none of them disconnect from wireless.
As I can remember this NT doesn't experienced this issue before I rooted the device (may caused by other application but not sure)

I have not experienced your issue directly, but I did have to return my original NT to BN because it would not read any micro SD cards. When I took it back to the store (restored to factory) they could not get it to connect to the wifi there and exchanged it out for a new one. I know that doesn't answer your question directly - just trying to say that it could be defective hardware.
Since you're rooted, I would suggested updating the WPA_supplicant file (which will also give you access to adhoc networks) as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370955&highlight=adhoc
If that doesn't work I would say try backing up and then restoring to factory to see if that fixes the problem.

I go ahead restore to factory default first then monitoring for couple days. If no error found I root again.

I noticed that problem recently. It just recently started doing what you said. My mother also says she has problems on hers as well.
Both of ours are rooted. I am going to factory restore mine and see what happens.

Hi apart from a minor WiFI router incompatibility issue that I had with my Netgear WiFi router...never had any problem...
Merry Xmas everyone!!!

[Q] Home wifi suddenly not working right with archos 70

I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.

[Q] WIFI connection stops transfering data

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?
Bump...I have the same problem and the issue persists even after i reset the phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad I found this, thought it was the ROM I had flashed to the phone (which is VillainROM)
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 have seen this once or twice. A router reboot can help a little, but it hasn't been enough of a problem for.me that I've tried to do anything else. All of my Android devices have had problems with my router now and again.
I dont think its my router. Ive got 3 Android phones, A kindle fire, 1 Asus Transformer, multiple laptops, Xbox 360's, wii and multiple IOS devices hooked up to my network and none of them have complained about my wifi being busted. The nook tablet is the only one doing this. My first nook tablet did do this at all. I am wondering if this one has a defective WIFI chip
Yes, I have this same problem on my home wifi.
But in my office, everything is ok.
I have had the same issue. I just reboot the NT. It happened this morning, it was charging overnight with the low battery warning comming on last night before charging. Perhaps that may have something to do with it. I'll try to see if it's on it's charger next time it happens.
I had issues with mine doing that somewhat often. It would even happen during use. I was non rooted with a couple of sideloaded apps. Finally I got fed up and took it in. They swapped me out for a new one and I've had zero issues since.
I was lucky in that both me and my wife got these and I had a point of reference. Her tablet had no wifi issues while mine did. That was what led me to believe there was a problem with mine.
If you keep having the issue, you might want to think of getting it replaced.
WiFi problems only on one router.. Connected - No internet.
The WiFi on my Rooted Nook tablet works great at home, at in-law's, at parents, at neighbors houses. But at church it would find the signal and accept the password then said - "Connected - But no internet". It had full bars. The IP address was some generic number with mostly zero's. I had access to two different iPhones at the time and they both worked and connected to the internet with appropriate sequential IP addresses. I rebooted the D-Link router and my Nook Tablet with the same results. Any Ideas??

Me thinks that your deity doesn't like the idea of you rooting B&N's device.
What are the IP addresses of the other devices, the NT doesn't like nonstandard network protocols.
NT reboot required to get WiFi working
I purchased two Nook Tablets for my kids. Both are rooted using Snowball-mod. Both typically work well, but then refuse to connect to my home wireless network after some time. I have several other laptops and PCs connected to the same WiFi network with no issues. Only the Nook Tablets are unable to connect (after several hours of use). Rebooting the Nook Tablet always solves the problem... until it happens again. I have not found a patter to this yet (i.e. what might be triggering the WiFi to stop operation). If anyone find a solution to this issue, I would love to know what is found.
Several of us have found WiFi will lock out when the device is in sleep mode. Killing WiFi prior to sleep seems to stop this mysterious behavior, for me anyway.

Is it known whether a un-modified ("stock" B&N NT) also requires WiFi to be disabled before entering sleep mode? If this is not an issue with an un-modified Nook Tablet, then perhaps this issue can be corrected soon.
Hi all,
The NT does not support Channels above 11 on WiFI networks...so if you router is on Auto-mode, it might choose a channel higher than that...and puff...no net...
Also, I had a Netgear Router which had some WPA2 incompatiblities with my both my Blackberry and my NT. Flashing the Router's firmware, also solved my problem.
Hope my experience is helpful.....
Cheers,
Gizmo
Gizmo, thanks for the suggestions but I do not think this is a router channel issue. What is happening is that the NT WiFi seems to lock-up (possibly driver issue). Bringing up Settings and tapping to turn off WiFi results in a grayed-out WiFi toggle (not "Off" but inactive). Attempting to touch WiFi again after this produces a message similar to "WiFi is not responding" (I don't remember the exact message now). My routers are set with fixed channels 1 and 6 as well.
Hi, I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble getting WIFI to work on my NT. The thing is: it only works disabling the password on my home network! But I want to maintain a secure connection... Can someone helpe me? Thanks in advance!
waking the wifi
Don't know if I'm late or not, but I actually found a resolution to this issue by downloading an app from the Google Play store called Wifi Manager. It's free and as soon as you launch it, it'll instantly re-wake and reconnect your wifi within less than 1 second. It's not intended for that use but it helps big time!

Wi-Fi Connection Problem

Hi All,
I just received a replacement for my V10 that suddenly died and I'm now having Wi-Fi connection issues.
When I brought it home yesterday the phone was still on 5.1.1 but updated overnight to 6.0 both experienced the same issue.
I have not rooted my device yet but will in the near future.
I have 3 different access points in my home with different id for each.
I can connect to one of them but not the other two.
When I try to connect it I eventually get a WI-FI connection error, or the connection is labeled disabled, or the connection doesn't connect and just shows saved.
I have tried:
1) reset the router
2) changed the password
3) changed to an open connection e.g. no password
4) forgotten then connection on the phone
5) restarted phone
none of these have fixed my issue.
Anyone have similar issues?
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Thanks you all for reading my problem.
steve
Just started having a similar issue yesterday. Stock MM, no root. Factory reset had no effect.
Maybe you can join my thread, I have problem with wifi also. You can check if we have same issue and may try my workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/help/wifi-mac-address-changes-reboot-h90120j-t3470140
I actually just noticed this on my phone yesterday. It seems to happen to me when the wifi signal is a bit weaker (but should still be able to connect). My wife's V10 didn't have an issue though. Haven't find a solution yet, but my wifi would also not find any connections after it would disconnect and have to rescan to locate any networks.

Have you tried to do factory reset?

Question Wifi will not stay connected,

I woke up this morning and noticed my wifi will not stay connected, I tried resetting my home network, also choose to forget saved networks, reset all connections, and even did a factory reset. Still wifi will not stay connected. Also tried on different network. I know Pixel 6 had a problem last year but I never experienced this until today. Any Help would be appreciated
Also wanted to say I am running stock firmware for T-Mobile. I did do a security update to see if that would fix wifi but it did not. Have not installed any new apps either.
Figured it out, It was the router after all. I have 1 router and 2 access points., named differently. I left and tried it on open wifi at coffee shop and everything worked. I went back home factory reset my router and put in new ssid and password. Now everything works . I never would have thought it would be router, because laptop and other devices had no problem with connecting.
