Hi everybody,
I'm having problems with my Tablet S when connecting to an OpenWRT wireless router (D-Link DIR-825). Half of all pings are getting lost (it's working for 10 seconds then for 10 seconds no pings are getting answered).
When using browser, i often have to reload page, because it is not allways loading at the first time.
Now I tried to temporarily connect my old Fritz!Box wireless router (on the same network). This is running flawlessly
So my question: Is somebody else running his/her Tablet with an OpenWRT device (with or without problems)? Any suggestions what could be going wrong here?
It's not openwrt, but I'm using a linksys wrt54g with ddwrt (v24-sp2 micro) and only having disconnect issues when large playing videos trought SMB sharing. Everything else is working fine. It's seems to have issues with high loads.
In others routers I didn't get this problem.
I'm also using DD-WRT and no problems at all, even with ICS , if anything I have slightly better reception now
I'm not running OpenWRT, but my custom *nix router is working flawlessly.
Check that you don't have any QoS rules or weird firewall rules set and see if that fixes your problems.
Hey guys I've recently checked that there's a new version 15 of openwrt........so I want some things to be cleared..
1.) Is there any size increment with this version..
2.) Will it be updated over Stone age version(3.8)
Lol...
My router is iBall-baton iB WRA 150 N adsl2+ single band router (best most selling and 30$)...
Ok it is nothing but a clone/rebranded version of TP-Link TP-WR741 and some guy at wrt forums posted mod file but the user is inactive and his links too..... i just wanna know if i am good to go... im over stock firmware.......and main concern is that WILL THAT ROUTER HAVE ENOUGH INTERNAL MEMORY TO FACE AND STORE LATEST WRT VERSION 15.**** ......IM Impatient to try out but is covered with dark cloud of fear of bricking......and if i did such thing,dad will kick me out of the house...seriously..thats why consultancy was the best option i was with....im on stock firmware version 3.0.0 and thats barely 2mb....and the version on site and the factory default version is same.... I'm not sure that is it full or a patch.. but i hope you can answer this question..

Same problem whit Android devices in wifi. I tried Gargoyle, LEDE, Open WRT and DD-WRT
I have TP-Link Archer C7
Any solution?
Hello Enzo, I don't have that router anymore. With new routers the wi-fi problems have gone away...

SOLVED! See end of post
Galaxy Tab 32Gb Wifi.
I'm suffering from extremely slow wifi transfer speeds.
In ES FileExplorer, when copying a file from LAN, transfers are below 0,5 Mb/minute. Running http://www.speedtest.net will show download speeds of around 20kb/s....
I experienced this on the stock ROM with the root update, and on the Bonsai ROM also. The only time i didn't recall having these issues is on stock ROM unrooted.
Any ideas?
ps. My Wifi access point is a TP-LINK n-router with dd-wrt. Connection show a TX rate to the Tab of around 60Mbs and a receive rate of N/A (meaning, to slow to show?)
Encryption is WPA2/EAS, long pressing the Wifi entry on the tab shows a linkspeed of 5Mbps. It shows 65Mbps right after connecting but then drops, meaning the android os just isnt asking for more speed it seems
update: downloading a 5Mb file from XDA took around 30 seconds, thats more like it. The slowness seems restricted to LAN SMB shares.
update2: solved! It turned out my router with DDWRT firmware ran out of JFFS2 memory. This is a dedicatedportion of the routers flas memory to store custom programs or small webservers etc.I have no idea why it was enabled, all i know is the minute i disabled it, LAN transfer speeds increased tremendously. Now i know also why i had to reboot my router every now and then becauseof connection problems....
Hahaha. Something similar happened to me. It was also the router.
Man thanks a ton for posting the solution! I googled to this thread and restarting the modem solved my problem too. I've come across so many idiots who just posts "I found the solution/Problem solved" and that just pisses me off!
Thanks once again!
Edit: Sry for bumping this but i had to post!
Hi,
I have the same issue with my Netgear DGN2200v3, and I've seen it uses JFFS2 as well.
I'm not sure to install a custom firmware to solve the problem but I've also read something about changing the way the file system is mounted (i.e. rw instead of r).
Do you think the only solution would be to get rid of this fu...ng JFFS2?
Hi
to begin I want to applogize if this question/problem has been asaked earlier but I gave up searching the forum or the internet.
I tried diffrent roms (GalaxyTask, Overcome, Task 650 and CM9) on my p7510 but It does not find my home wifi after flashing. However, when I use Stock or CM9 it recognizes my home wifi.
Has anyone a fix for that problem?
Can you give a little more information? What type of router (make + model)? are you using 2.4ghz or 5? wifi g or n?

I have a D-link 635 using wifi n.
The strange thing is that the tab finds my home network under the Cyanogenmod9 rom and stock rom but not under the Overcome, starburst or galaxy tab rom. This makes me think that it is not a router problem. I could be wrong tough.
I tried to set up the wifi manually but it did not work. I also tried to delete it from auto recognition before flashing a new rom. Still it finds many other wifi networks but not my home network.
Yeah, that's pretty weird. I'd post your question in task's thread; he's pretty good about figuring this stuff out. Also, I have to point this out: "CM9" is not available yet; what you have is the CM9 preview. Kind of has to be said so as not to confuse anyone with the real thing...
Try switching from wifi n to b or g (in your router configuration). Might bring you closer to a solution.
Also, you could try different channels to sort things out.
Wifi-Analyzer is a good app to analyse and fix Wifi Problems

I'm having wifi problems with my tab as well.
It worked fine with the stock rom. After I flashed task rom 10 the wifi range got realy bad. I mean bad like it only got 4 bars when standing right next to the router. In the next room, separated by a wall, it would got nothing. I did not change a thing in the router for months.
I thought it might be something related to HC 3.2 so I flashed the In Paris rom and the problem was gone. I might try another HC 3.2 rom to see if what happens but right now I'm probably going to wait for CM9 anyway.
btw my router is a asus rt-n56u

I´m currently on Overcome 2.1.1 (for 7500 3G Tab) and have no issue´s at all.
I can fully recommend it as a 3.2 ROM
Well my problem is that it does not find my home network at all. No matter which rom I flash except for the CM9 preview. I get a whole lot of other wifi networks but not mine. This makes me think that it is something that the rom does rather my router.
Change your router's channel plz.
Every router have 1-13 channels. It will be set to auto by default. Change it from 1-13, and you can find one to use.

Yeah, I heard good things about it. I skipped it because of the stock kernel, I want a kernell with OC enabled, Can I use it with pershoot kernel maybe?

Thanks that did the trick. I used a fixed channel instead of the auto setting that my router uses. Pefect now I can enjoy all the roms completly!

The last 2 channels of the router do not show up on my rooted galaxy 10.1, I had to change the router channel because of this.
Should probably go in development but as a noob I can't post their yet.
Since updating to CM7 A3.5 I started having wireless issues. Would lose IP connectivity but connection up. Other wireless devices no issues and previous CM7 versions had been okay.
Updated to Xron 2.91 on here which seemed to make things worse.
Ran a wifi signal app and noticed neighbours AP on the same channel. Reconfigured mine and have had no touchpad issues since.
As all other devices were fine I didn't think of checking the frequency. Obviously the touchpad is a bit sensitive.
Hope someone else benefits from this. Thanks to those who released the Xrom and CM7 roms. Makes the touchpad a wicked cheap tablet.
Matt.
This has been talked about before and is considered one way of fixing wifi problems. If you still can't connect you could make the touchpad forget the network from settings and reconnect again. Using an app like regpon wifi keep alive helps a lot and finally a reboot helps if everything else fails

Also: Make sure your date/time is correct and a reboot into webOS often fixes it.
Yeah the wifi issues seem to be a hit or miss. Sometimes changing the channel works for people. Other times it's just the router. I would need to always "forget" the connection before turning my TP off then reconnect after at my house. But it works perfectly at my friends house. Thanks for the post though. It might help others with this issue.
i was just going to actually post in the thread, but like you, i am a newb with insufficient rights =)
ive done 4 touchpads, 3 different routers, cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.1 and to 2.9:
-asus rt12n w/tomato 1.28 in WDS mode with WPA1 AES on channel 11:
runs flawlessly on every revision and touchpad ive done so far.
-airlink ar670w w/ddwrt sp1 with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
initially connects but when TP goes to sleep, it will not reconnect on wakeup and strobe on and off and lock up wifi settings. cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.7/8/9
-linksys wrt54g w/hyper thibor with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
same results the airlink with ddwrt
after searching and experimenting, ive gotten both the linksys and airlink to play nice by doing the following:
1) changed encryption from WPA2 to WPA1
2) changed channels to 6 or 1 (personally i just picked whatever seemed less crowded)
3) disabled wifi sleep and scanning on TP.
4) rebooted TP into webos then back into android and rebooted router.
hope one or some of these solutions helped.
Even if your other devices weren't having issues being on the same wifi channel can cause packet loss due to interference making your Internet feel slower.
I also read that people had succes using the FXR Wifi Fix app to fix some of their wifi issues. If anyone is still having issues, you might want to try that out as well.

Download the apk and install manually from computer. just connect the touchpad to the computer and copy the file over.
The fxr app does restore my wifi connection, but does not permanently fix my disconnect issues. I am trying out the regpon app now, so hopefully this will help maintain my connections!
As far as messing with routers, this is not an option for me as I use my school's wifi network when I'm working in my lab.
I have only dropped once at home and after forgetting the network and reconnecting I never had trouble again.
First post here... Just want to say that this is an amazing community. So many cool heads willing to spend time to help. It's awesome. With guidance from many of you(I have done EXTENSIVE reading around here for days), I just did my first CM install on my TP and I am in heaven.
The solution I'very found is to tap the icon next to the back icon and then the wireless icon. Don't even know what the icons called, butit has buttons to turn. on/off wifi, Bluetooth, suond and what I'm assuming is the camera.
Hi,
I had no problem whatsoever with my network since 2 days ago when I flashed my dlink dir-300 with dd-wrt.
Since then, I started having problems using my banking app (it gets stuck sometimes during account data retrieval) and more consistently the XDA app fails to retrieve data most of the times.
The rest seems to be ok (on browsers I did not notice connection problems), even though the wifi signal (icon) appears to be quite low even when I am a few meters from the router, while all my other devices (laptop, iphone, blackberry) are working fine.
So, I would need some help to troubleshoot the problem, for example how to check where it gets stuck in the XDA app could help to understand where the problem happens.
I think I set the router with the same values it had before, and I had more trouble with previous FW, so I won't go back there, but I could still try to change some setting if there is some "known" wifi issue with Android devices.
I have a Nexus S with Cybergr v11 ROM and Matrix v19.5 kernel. I repeat, now all other devices are working fine, and this phone was working fine until I flashed the router, so it must be most likely a bad combination of wifi settings (I tried a lot of them already) and Android.
Hey guys,
I tried to find something about my problem, but there's only on thread here with a similar problem without any informations, so I decided to create a new one.
I'm sorry if there's already a solution and I was too dump to find it... If there's one, I'd be very thankful for a link.
So.... I own a X829 6/128 with a German SIM and it works very fine for me. After trying different ROM's I'm now at RR 5.8.5 @ 7.1.2 and it's really good.
But it doesn't matter which ROM I flash, I'm tortured by constantly wifi-drops.... In the meanwhile I even changed the router and repeater at home to different devices, played with the 2.4- and 5-GHz-bands and channels, and it doesn't matter what I choose (2.4/5 on the router or 2.4/5 on the repeater): The phone is constantly dropping the wifi.
Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes, sometimes it's dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds... I flashed different radio's, but no change.
It doesn't matter if I'm doing something "online" or if the phone's just lying on the table.
Thanks alot in advance!
Lot's of greetings an Merry Christmas!

Same phone, same problem.
But to be honest - i just realized when i read your post ... to me its like 99% its working and sometimes not then its in 3g 4g network. I usually do not even realize
Hey there,
nah, for me it's like vice versa. Mostly I can't even do a speedtest without the connection dropping...
Loading news? I have to try several times...
Download something? Hahaha, forget it!
Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Soooooo..... You haven't really mentioned trying it elsewhere. Have the same problem at a different location? Do you have multiple devices using the WiFi? I had a similar problem when I bought a smart TV, while streaming Netflix router "kicked" off the other devices.

Yes. I haven't any Wifi's to try nearby. And when I connected so one in a restaurant for example, I haven't watched it all the time.
In the meanwhile I disabled the WiFi of the Router. I connected the repeater via cable and set it up as AP. No changes (the router can't drop a device which is not directly connected to it, right?). Also I gave the phone a static IP outside the DHCP-range, to make sure the router (DHCP server) can't kick me via releasing the IP.
(I've tried that because we use TV-over-IP "Telekom Entertain"... Usually the router uses WMM/QoS to make sure the bandwidth is always enough for TV Unfornately I can't change that, so I decided to set up the repeater as AP)
No real changes. Sometimes (like now) it's working like a charm. Sometimes it's dropping like every 10 seconds.
PS:
While I wrote this there was only one drop. ^^

Hmmm. I don't have that much experience with routers. But I can suggest 2 ideas.
At some point, at a different location, confirm its your device with the problem.
Second is try a VPN from your max.
Seems like a simple solution your missing. Assuming your phone is in working order, software solid, just WiFi dropping out sounds crazy. Especially if there hasn't been any other instances around the forum.
Good luck, sorry I haven't really helped.
Hello, I have the same problem as you, the only solution I found was to install the Rom CUOCO 92 28s, after installing, you go into WIFI, then advanced settings, look for WIFI frequency band, select "use only 2.4GHz band So, after that normal wifi works, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Android 6.0.1, but your wifi will work

Still thanks for your replies and help thinking!
A VPN would also drop (it's not the transfer itself, the whole connection is gone), I think. And I noticed this problem first since I flashed an Android 7/N-ROM, as itsbianchi said.

Thanks alot! But I don't really wanna go a step backwards. I hope there's a stable/official 8/O-ROM soon to try. And I still can't figure out why they put away the possibility to manage your networks/settings on your own. -.-
But if there's no other option, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Some update
I found in the dev-settings an option for a "more agressive handover" to mobile network.
When my understanding is correct it should handover to mobile network ealier, if the wifi-signal is weak. I just activated that setting, to see if the the connection is lost more often (because I thought that maybe the threshold of that setting is too high -> switching between my Wifi and Mobile all the time). But it seems that it's more stable now... I dunno why. I just checked it like an hour ago. Maybe there's no change, since sometimes the connection is pretty stable and sometimes it's dropping all the time. I'll just try it for the next hours/days...
Btw:
I was in a restaurant with an open wifi two days ago: Not one drop while I was there (I checked the connection as often as I could).
Maybe some food for thoughts for you guys...
Friend, enter the LAN settings of your router, but in the protocol of IPV6, and disable the assignment of IPV6, I was col this same problem.

I have similar problems with wifi. Wifi connection does not drop but I can't download large files or I can't install apps from Google Play store larger than 5 MB. Download process stops after several megabytes. I tried so many ROMs including Cuoco92's 23S and I tried "use only 2.4GHz band" setting in 23S but I haven't tried Cuoco92's 28S. Because I read a lot of bad comments about Cuoco's 28S. Do you think should I try Cuoco's 28S?
Or is it a hardware problem?
