I just got my prime and immediately ran into some strange problem with the wifi, i get quite good connection to my neighbours wifi but my own does not even show up in the list.
My router is a dlink dir615 and all my other devices can find it without trouble.
Anyone know on what side the problem is, router or prime?

Where did you buy your Prime and what channel is your router currently on?
I bought my trannyprime in sweden from the online store 'cdon', it came with android 4.03 installed.
I think my router is set on channel 13.

Hi All,
So with my old x10, I had this crap issue with my Netgear router in that it would refuse to connect more than once - I'd have to reset the router - apparently Netgear routers don't like android phones...
Anyway, now with my SGS2, the problem has gone, which is fantastic, except while I can always connect to the router, I cannot pair with Kies or AllShare - basically the connection just times out...
Has anyone else had this problem, and/or found a solution?

I have a Netgear and have no issues.. however what i can suggest is to try and connect with the phone plugged in.. i had issues with my laptop with my Netgear .. it kept on dropping connection when the mains was unplugged...
I know a laptop and an Android phone are slightly different but hey it's worth a try yes/no?
Thanks for your feedback, but no, that's not the problem - it connects to WiFi fine, but it seems like it can't communicate through the router - like there's a firewall setup or something...

Hi,
Have you been able to solve this issue. Appreciate your help if you have... I seem to have the same issue.
No, no solution yet... If I reboot the router, then I can connect via allshare or kies, but then once the connection is lost I can't reconnect, except without reboot.

Got a 32GB version.
All my other devices, windows laptops, android tablet connect up to my wifi fine. I am using WPA with AES (static IP). The HP Touchpad connects, but there is huge packet loss and it barely can keep a connection. It doesn't drop out per se, just cant get any data. Tried changing router settings, being 30cm from it etc. Still same problem. Any apps/tweaks i can try on the Touchpad?
Maybe it has something to do with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n with WPA, WPA2, WEP, 802.1X authentication;
maybe your router doesnt support it.
Just curious, are you running any of the Preware patches?
I am having a similar problem with my 16gb wifi model. Wifi works for a short while, then drops the signal. If I go in and turn off wifi on the device and turn it back on again - then it will work fine for another few minutes until it eventually drops the connection again.
I had this problem before I loaded any preware tweaks - and after as well. I am running the Govnah app to overclock to 1.5ghz and a few other logging tweaks.
I did some digging and it seems the most likely issue is a problem with the firmware of my router (D-link DIR-655), specifically the wireless n protocol. I am going to try updating my router firmware and see if that helps out.
By the way - no issues with my two laptops, dell streak 7, or my wii - so its definately isolated to be an issue specific to my touchpad/router combination...
I too am having problem. I don't drop the wireless connection, just a internet connection. All of a sudden nothing on my touchpad can connect to the internet, until I turn the wireless off and then back on again. Very weird. Everything else working off of my Dlink DGL-4500 works fine, except the touchpad.
I notice a few of you have Drinks, maybe thats the cause?
I'm running on FIOS and using Verizon's provided router. Works flawlessly. I've had one issue w/ WiFi, but a reboot solved that and has never come back.
I had problems with my dlink 615. TP would lose connection after 20 minutes or so. My wife's would do the same. My evo 4g had the same problem. I changed the router to the G only setting. I haven't had any problems with either TP since that change. The 615 uses draft N and was one of the early routers with this. I think it causes problems with some devices. I haven't really lost any speed either as the 615 will only connect at the speed of the "slowest" wireless card on the network, and I have some devices at g speed that are always on. I do plan to get a new router at some point.

See my Touchpad is the ONLY device having problems, that's the part I don't get. All of my devices are wireless N as well.
TouchPad WiFi issues
Okay, I've tried every custom kernel available with almost the same results. I'm beginning to think my unit is defective, but I am hoping it is the custom kernels and not my unit. I haven't tried restoring the stock kernel but I suppose I should have before writing this. Anyway..onto the issue!
Does anyone have this problem where WiFi will randomly stop transmitting data? It happens most when I am browsing the web with the stock browser and almost all the time it is after the unit awakes from sleep. Sometimes it happens while browsing but the majority of the time it happens when coming out of sleep. WiFi is still on and connected to my network, but network activity is not there. The only way to fix it is by doing one of the following:
-Turn off and on WiFi
-Launch the HP software catalog.
The second method one seems to give the network a jump start and WiFi will begin working again and data will transmit.
Freeza I think that's a common slug, I read some other posts about it. Heck mine was doing it a lot, but not so much lately. I don't think you have defective device.

I have this issue too, on two Touchpads on the same wifi network (mine and my wife's). The issue vanishes on my portable wifi 4G hotspot and my much better office wifi network, so it's probably my router. I've ordered a MUCH better router, and if that kills the problem, I'll know for sure within a week.
I hear this is a common, but situation-specific issue.
phew.... Was getting worried for a bit there. Thanks guys. Hopefully the next webOS update can fix it

I also have this problem. The wireless on the TP will stop working, even though it says it is connected. Disabling and re-enabling the wireless fixes it temporarily.
I also have an 802.11N wireless router. It is a Trendnet TEW-633GR. No other wireless device has ever had an issue with it, so I think the touchpad doesn't handle something properly...
I think it's somewhere in the router settings, but my wrt54g at home with dd-wrt can connect just fine with my Epic 4G Touch running Cyanogen 9 (or any other ICS rom for that matter). The one we have at work (also wrt54g running dd-wrt) won't. I'll reference this thread here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=667631
I've changed the "no acknowledgement" setting, changed security modes, disabled the SPI firewall, and even tried factory defaults. But it just doesn't want to connect for some reason, however when I use a gingerbread rom it will connect just fine.
So my question is, if anyone has found a solution as to why ICS phones don't like connecting to DD-WRT routers.
Widespread issue
I don't know if it's any consulation but this issue seems to be affecting a lot of people. << link to thread on sprint's site but I'm new to this forum so can't post it >>. No one on that site mentions dd-wrt but that doesn't mean it isn't a dd-wrt specific issue.
I am also expericing what I think is the same problem. I am using the Sprint Nexus S 4G connecting to my linksys wrt320n router with dd-wrt build 18946M (I upgraded from 14700(ish) to see if that resolved my issue but it didn't).
The issue seems slightly more complicated than a simple inability to connect. Before upgrading to ICS (in stock ginger bread), a few days ago, I would occasionally see my phone attempting to connect to my router and failing. Now with ICS, my device connects, gets an IP address and the router wifi status page shows the device as connected with good signal strength, but alas, there seems to be no network connectivity.
I decided to try CryogenMod 9 and see if the issue was resolved in their build. So I flashed the lastet (update-cm-9-20120411-NIGHTLY-crespo4g-signed.zip) cm9 mod and still experience the same issue.
Any help anyone could provide on this issue would be swell.
Confirmed it is DD-WRT
I came across this thread immediately after upgrading my router from stock to DD-WRT. Immediately the wifi on my phone stopped working. My phone, Nexus S 4g will not even see the network. Conveniently my neighbor has the same router as I do, a Cisco e3000 with a factory rom. I can connect to his network without any problem. Ugh. I love DD-WRT. Maybe I'll try a Tomato firmware... Well at least all my other phones/tablets work. It is specific to the Nexus S 4g.
UPDATE: I believe it is tied to the mixed network mode on my 802.11n router. I tried my old 54G in G only mode and it is working fine with my phone

Confirmed. I changed the wireless mode to 2.4Ghz N only and everything works. Mixed Network mode was giving the Nexus S fits.
I just *successfully* got my MotoE/Android5.1 working on DD-WRT after 2 days down (problem started w/new version of DD-WRT on a repeater)
MY WORKING SOLUTION: Turned of "auto" on the channel selection of my 2.4Ghz channel on both primary and repeater routers, turned control channel to 20 on the primary (where the DDWRT offerred a choice) then restarted phone. It was probably something with auto channel on one or both of disparate routers.
Phew. Nasty glitch.
I got a THL 5000 today,when it connects to my Wifi it disconects after a short time.
If I try to connect to the internet it does not work, even when the wifi icon is on at the top of the screen.
Anybody had this?
Please Help.
Thanks

I have a THL 5000 too. Same issue. In my case I notice that it does not happen everywhere. I get disconnect at home, and at one other place. At other places like work, starbucks barnes and noble no disconnect. I tried almost everything to get around the issue and have had success a few different way. This issues is not limited to THL 5000 its many other android phones running Kit Kat. My ipad 2 has the same issues and so does my vista laptop but the issues occur only at home. This got me to think it may be router issue incompatibiity since some devices work perfectly and some dont I have three that disconnect in the same location. My ipad one has no issues my ipad air has no issues, just THL 5000, vista laptop, and ipad 2 have chronic disconnect.
My first way around this issues was to change the security setting on my router to WEP from WPA/WPA2 (both versions of WPA gave me disconects) when I did this they no longer disconneced from WIFI The issue here is that WEP is not very secure, but it solved the issue. I had checked for firmware update on the router but it reported they were all up to date. My devices are up to date too.
So if you are ok with WEP security it may fix the issue for you.
I personally did not want to keep using WEP, because my friend showed me how he can hack into my wifi. So I continued my search for another work around. I found that a wifi extender works. I found one for $30 at walmart and I had my phone link to the extender and the extender link to the router. This worked well for all devices and allowed me to maintain WPA security feature. So while not a fix it is a work around and not expensive.
A third solution is just buy a new router, but from what I gather other router have issues too, Nighthawk AC 1900 I heard has disconnect issues. So if you go via new router method keep in mind you want to save he receipt until you know for sure disconnect issue is gone. Basically its a compaibility issue. Also this may be most expensive route.
fourth methob if you phone had a previous Andorid OS (previous to Kitkat) you can try and restore a older version of the OS. Many have had success with that. In my case It came only with Kitkat so I could not place an older version.
Fifth method get a new phone. Since I could not return the phone I personally just run my phone via range extender at home and this works for me. I found a netgear range extender for $30 on amazon.
So while I don have a solution for you, there may be some work around that might work for you.
I just got lg v30 thought it was a good deal. everything is fine but it has one big problem . the wifi disconnect all the time especially while downloading. when this happens I can see the cell signal along with the wifi disappears from the status bar and the phone start searching for signal.
I tried everything I could. like a full factory reset.
I also downgraded from android 8 to 7
so Is it a hardware Issue?
I had a similar problem but only with WiFi. I don't think these phones have a reach on WiFi if you are a good distance from the router I believe this is your problem. My solution I set up a WiFi tether with my laptop connected to the router so the source is closer that solved my issue

Also, try setting for 2.4GHz only. It travels further than 5GGz and it's more stable.

thank you for the reply.
it happens all the time and I tried many wifi routers but same problem. I also have multiple devices and never seen this problem before
