Yesterday, I got an ICS update for m Xperia Neo V and I updated it via PC Companion. I'm facing WiFi abnormal problem. I live in a double story house and my router (Tp-Link) is set at the first floor. As long as Iam at the first floor, wifi is working properly BUT whenever I come downstairs i.e. away frok the router, network gets disconnected. At the same time, my Laptop's connectivity to router also gets disconnected. And then I have to restart my router to make it work but again and again its getting failed. What's the problem? It's like my Neo V kills my Router :s
Please Help!

Did you try Blade Wifi Fix?
My problem was slightly different. I was able to connect after 4 or 5 attempts. However, it would disconnect every 10 or 15 minutes. Also, there were times it simply couldn't find my wireless network...
After things got better...
Oh I'm rooted...
ok i have just rooted with Z4 root i will install that and let u know
thanks

Blade wifi fix doesnt work on UK Xperia x10! shame
Hi all, as the thread title says... for some reason, my x10mini keeps on restarting my router at my paren't place and also the router at my home... the router i have at home is a Cisco router so it's a well known brand, so i assumed.
It's annoying because the rest of the family loses internet and when my bro is in a game he gets disconnected causing huge wars between family members
I've been having this issue for ages now, with all the ROMs that i've used starting from stock before root was possible until now where at this moment i'm using NobodyAtall's MiniCM6-1.0.0-RC2 but like i said it's been happening for months now with all the ROMs.
Is anybody else having the same issue or maybe have a possible solution for me?
I've been having the same problem, not with my android phone though. When for example, download at max speed on my computer via the wifi, it would randomly reboot.
I googled for like 2-3 weeks until i got a really nice answer. Changing the broadcast channel on the router to 1. Try that and get back to me!
It's weird i guess, but my other computer, when downloading at max speed, it wont reboot the router. So it sure is devices communicating with the device differently or something.
Not really into networking, but hope it helps!
Edit: won't hurt trying!
Thanks, going to try it out and see how it goes. I'll post soon with hopefully a good result
Nope, doesn't make a difference - I've changed the wireless channel to 1 and tried again and still, the router resets itself...
Any other ideas?
Buy new router.

Happens to my router at home as well as my parent's... so it would be way too much of a coincidence if it was both that were faulty.
if both are the same router check their firmware if they have the same update your routers firmware. or update firmware on your router first and check whether the problem is solved

My router D-Link DIR-655 with Firmware 1.21 have the same problem too.
So i guess buying a new router could be the only option until Android fix this issue.
I may have found a fix for it - not ideal but it's working. I've disabled WAP/WEP security and have activated MAC address control and have allowed for my phone's MAC address to connect to the network.
Since making the change, i haven't had a single router restart.
What an absolute schlepp to add the MAC address every time i want a wireless device to connect but it's working.
Hope this helps.
If your router is Cisco Linksys, use dd-wrt firmware on it. I have both e2000 and 610n and both have uptime of months with lots of devices connected..

Hello, i bought a new router, Asus RT-N10, and the problem is that my SE NEO dont see it. When i connected a router for a first time neo connected. but after the while it stopped to see the router. I have another router in the 1st floor Dlink dir 615, neo sees it and connects. I tried to reset asus router, but nothing helped. It works good with laptops, mobiles, and other devices. I dont get it where is the problem. After reseting router and reconfigurating it many times neo started to see it and connect, but after ~5days (now) it happened again neo doesnt see routers signal. but 1st's floor dlinkdir615 neo sees and connects. Some advices ?
Yes, go to your router settings and change the channel to 11 and your problem will be solved.
i have the same probleme i sended my sony ericsson back and wait for a new one
and testadeferro my channel is on 11 and it disconect every 10 sec
Then you must to take the warranty bro. Go to SE.

For future, try with some other channel's, not just 11. Maybe it's interfering with some router in close distance. Although it's strange that other phones, laptops work.. But still, you can try.
Hello, I just bought a Xperia mini pro a few days ago and there seems to have a problem with the wifi connection on my Lynksys Wireless-G router.
1. when it connects to the router it only has 5 to 10 sec time span connection.
2. tried an application called wifi static on the android market using my mobile network and it didn't work
3. since i am just new here tried to read some forums for 5 hours and didn't get any info or I just got lost in between threads.
4. I don't know how to solve the issues with the router although I am seeing the same problems with other devices. No problems with laptops, other some brands of phones, apple products)
If there is a solid solution to this problem please do reply.
First of all, I think you should try to reset the router.

Tried it dozens of times. I was trying to check on other forums and threads but unfortunately, i didn't see a direct solution. But I was wondering how a SK17i is affected by a fluctuation on a specific 2.4 ghz router. Although other devices work perfectly.
Is there a solution other than changing the rom? Maybe a program or a calibration that is permitted by the device without sacrificing the warranty?
How?

im just saying i have wifi problems too and thats cause im on .42 fw. so im asking u what firmware version youre now on. if its .42 than thats most likely the cause of your wifi problem.
so my suggestion is try to upgrade your fw to .58 or .62 and the wifi problem would be gone i guess.
iam now trying to flash to .58 to fix my problems like yours too
edit: if its firmware fault then thats nothing you can do, i have tried wifi fixer from the market and its not fixing so the only way is to upgrade to the latest firmware and thats if youre actually currently on .42 fw

I upgraded to .62 using the pc companion. still having wifi problems. Any suggestions? I tried yesterday roaming around the neighborhood testing the wifi system of all the neighbors using different types of routers. It is working with their router. Unfortunately, my house and my parents house have the same router with the same problem.
I'm looking for a solution that can bypass any router so i wont have any problems wherever I go to. Using my HTC smartphone it works perfectly. Although SK17i doesnt agree with the thought.

because it is your router fault. not the phone
I had the same problem with my lynsys router when I got my mini pro, it would connect for a bit and disconnect, actually all the devices connected to the router would lose the connection. The fix, updated the router's firmware. No problems since then.
hope that helps.

Thanks so much for reminding me that. I just tried it today and it worked. Although I searched for more than an hour for an answer.
For those who has a Linksys wireless-G Router version 7 (not in the linksys website, I dont know why) just search this code below on Google or your preferred search engine.
FW_WRT54Gv7_*7.00.8.008_2*0090709.bin
Got mine in this website
bergfiles.com/i/bf4859cb7ah32i0
Combine this with the latest SK17i update using the PC companion
And everything will work smoothly

Just fixed it. I appreciate the wake up call. I thought there is a way around it.
The modem was reset so I checked the net. Saw the key to opening up the router website. I left the user id blank and put the password "admin" and got through the router website.
Thanks =]
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

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.

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.
