Sv: Can wifi repeater resolve room wifi ?
Yes,it will help. I have one, but not same model and it increased a lot my wifi range. I can have my Prime connected to my house Internet with full bars anywhere I am inside the house. It is a very cheap solution as I got mine for something like $65.

Hello all,
I've been using the wifi-hotspot lately on my SGT GT-P300. I only just noticed that when doing so, the divice is sharing the 3G connection.
My question is if it's possible to share my own wifi connection instead of 3G? So the SGT acts like some sort of router?
Must be easier to just connect direcly to the router instead of sharing the wifi thru the pad?
As far as I know wifi-hotspot is only for sharing the 3g connection.
If you already have a wifi network it must be better to connect directly to that with another device.
Very true, but my wifi signal in my room is weak and keeps disconnecting atleast once every 2 minutes. For my Nexus S and Galaxy S II that is, SGT signal is as strong as it can get.

Hi,
New to the sgsII forum after finally divorcing my x10i.
Does anyone else suffer from a weak wifi signal.
Could be standing next to the router and still not have full signal and a much decreased signal strength compared to the x10i at any distance from the router.
Many thanks
Kieron

Nope my WiFi is fine, my phone can even connect from outside the house. Maybe its your router that's the problem. Try another wireless network to see if that works ok?

How are you measuring signal -DB or just using the not very accurate wifi indicator .
You could check if your firmware has an upgrade .

Yes may be due to quite a few reasons...
As mentioned in the above post... try upgrading the firmware of router (if theres any)..to start with...
if it doesnt works..or no firmware upgrade available for your router..
install free app wifi analyzer from market..
check the router channel ...from the app... there might be some interference with neighbours...change the router channel..if theres any interference...
in the wifi analyzer the router signal strenght should be above above -60dB/-50dB...
if thats the case...the wifi signal indicator on status bar may not be accurate...(showing low signal)
Hello everyone,
I have bought a Transformer Prime last summer and it's an awesome tablet until now but it has a flaw as everyone knows with its WiFi. I can get no reception at all if I am at a distance from the router and sometimes this is bad.
My HTC Desire though never loses signal and with its 3g connectivity it is great. So I sometimes share my Data connection to my prime and surf the internet but now I have a question and it seems I cannot answer it online.
Is there a way I can share the WIFI connection OVER WIFI ??? If I open Wifi Hotspot the connection is lost. As I see it, there can only be a mode at once, either client or as a hotspot.
Is there a way to make your phone both ? In other worlds can I connect to a wifi connection and share it at the same time ?
Thank you
No, you can't, I think because there's only one antenna.
You can use a range extender or a router with this function, but it's surely more expensive.
You need a wireless repeater or range extender. It's not that expensive.
Buy Two routers that support ddwrt or tomato. They are pretty cheap now unless you want a Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N router.
This is my set up.
Belkin Play N600 HD Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router - $30 from 1salesaday.
Flashed Tomato 1.28 firmware
Wireless 1 : Wifi - G 2.4Ghz
Wireless 2: Wifi - N 5Ghz
I have another old Asus RT-N12 on 2nd floor.
I think I paid $30 from newegg long time ago.
Flashed ddwrt and set it up as repeater. It basically connects to Belkin Wifi -G and broadcast wifi-G under another SSID

Wireless 3 : Wifi - G 2.4Ghz
This might work but it's still a wired connection.
Disconnect your phone from mobile data, connect to your wifi router, plug in the USB from your tablet to your phone, enable USB tethering on your phone.
This way your phone is acting like an access point for your tablet. I've used this method on old desktops that can't connect to wireless routers but it might also work when an Android tablet is receiving the signal.
Connect your phone to wifi, share your connection with your tablet via bluetooth.

+1 this is what I do sometimes, although Bluetooth has bad latency and is limited to about 1mbit/sec

How can I share it with bluetooth ? I have an HTC Desire that uses Oxygen Rom....In settings I only find USB Tethering and WiFi Hotspot...Or do i need another app ?
Thank you all for the information
edit: I managed to do this with FoxFi on my phone and PDANET on the tablet over bluetooth.... Thank you all
I could have sworn I read a similar issue on here but can't find it now. I have an Asus RT-AC66U Dual Band 802.11ac router. Its supposed to be top of the line. Every other device connected to this router works perfectly fine except my z2. The phone shows it's always connected to the wifi network, but my Internet access randomly cuts out. I have to disable wifi and re-enable it for it to start working again. Usually only lasts a few minutes before it cuts out again. Very annoying. Does anyone know a fix for this? Perhaps a setting on my router?

I would like to know this too, same thing happens with my Z2 (I have a RT-N66U), oddly enough the rest of my devices does not suffer from this issue.
I somewhat fixed the issue.. I called Asus support and a technician walked me through the settings on the router. I still have issues connecting to the 2.4ghz frequency, but the 5ghz is fine. Only issue is the 5ghz signal doesn't travel as far as the 2.4ghz signal. I'm going to call Asus again when I return from vacation to see if there's a better fix. For some reason the z2 has issues connecting to some 2.4ghz routers.
