Hi - Just got a Galaxy SII (UK version) to use on AT&T. When I'm on wifi, i have no problems connecting to my company VPN (PPTP connection) yet, disconnected from wifi and just on a 3G/H+ connection, I'm getting a connection error and it won't connect. I'm on the AT&T "enterprise 4G" plan - not sure what, if anything, is the problem. No problems connecting on my Verizon Android Phone or my iphone4 on AT&T but no joy with Galaxy. Any suggestions/help? Apologize in advance if it's something obvious I should know
It's an Sgs ii bug... search I already reported it. Works fine on my Sgs I.

iPhone 4 on Verizon running MyWi 4.0 and I have to use WEP, not ideal but for the amount of time I tether its not a huge deal.

i'm using 3GS 4.3.3 but no luck with MiWi/pdanet.
Those are all ad-hoc.. As soon as the tablet is rooted, you can hack it to see ad-hoc networks, but as of now it will not see any ad-hoc wifi networks such as ones created with mywi, and pdanet.
You can change the Wireless mode to Infrastructure in Advanced Settings.
Where is "Advanced Settings" ?
I realized when tethering, it only works if making it an open hot spot, no password... it's an android thing.... I had the same result with my sony tablet using my Nexus s, and my friends iphone for tethering
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,
I bought the tab last friday. While playing around I noticed that Wifi does an
endless reconnect-loop when using 5 GHz Wifi. 2 GHz works fine..
Could anybody please try? Turn off your router's 2 GHz and use 5 only.
Watch the Wifi nenu in your tab.
Thanks

Tried again yesterday.. Only one reconnect in 10 Minutes.. Seems, that 5G WIFI in general somtimes
makes problems.. So, please can someone close this thread?

My tablet is connected to 5 gigahertz exclusively and has never dropped the connection. You may want to take a look at your router's wifi settings.
I have a brand new Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 Wifi version, and I have two wireless routers in my home. One is a RavPower ND007, the other a DLink DIR-813. Both are dual band routers. On both, I have the 2.4 GHz network and 5 GHz networks names differently. Every other device in my home - including a number of Samsung devices - connects to all four networks with no problem.
However, my Galaxy Tab S3 does not. When connecting to the Rav, it shows "Connected, No Internet", and can't communicate at all. It won't even connect to the DIR-813 at all.
It connects flawlessly to the 2.4GHz networks on both routers.
Both of the routers, and the Tab, all have the latest available firmwares/updates.
So it's definitely the Tab S3, and definitely a 5GHz problem.
Not sure how to report this to Samsung, but I'm going to try...
defenitley YES, 5G problem...

Last Sunday I forgot to turn off Wifi 5G on my router and used my Tab S3.... Reconnect each 2 seconds... Super Quality, Thanks a lot to Samsung..
And just to clarify - 5G works with the same router and my Phone S8 perfectly, so it is NOT a rouoter issue...
I've been using 5G exclusively as our SSID is 5G specific and never had an issue with WiFi. Solid connection 100% of the time. Netgear Nighthawk X8 here.

Will try to install the latest update this weekend, without any modifications. If 5G still does not work, I will send the Tab to samsungs repair-center, as it still will be covered by warranty.
Either it is a problem with modem-driver or Hardware..
But nevertheless, this is the very first device showing up this problem with 5G.
If Samsung is not capable to solve, this will be my last product purchased from this brand...
I did send my Tab to Samsung repair center in Germany. Will receive it today, but I already know that they did not find any problem, all fine..
Well - but they did not give me a detailed test-report yet... So I dont know what and how they tested..
Will return the Tab to my local dealer for replacement..
I'd like to test with a different SM-T825...
Reading this I haven't seen that you've tried updating your router's firmware. If you haven't try that too. I'm not sure if when you say "install latest update" if that's the router or the tab.

Just by chance I found out, that 5G works if no SIM inserted. And IF SIM is inserted, it MUST be active. In flightmode and then activate WIFI does NOT work..
This is very suspicious... I hope that SOON we will find a working lineage for the galaxy tab S3...
Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 Wifi version and dual band 5ghz
Hmm, I just updated my modem as per better speeds from Comcast, but I also need a new router that would take advantage of the bandwidth and the 802.11ac dual band standard so that I can get to the 5ghz band.
I own a Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 WiFi and before I get a new router, I want to know if the WiFi adapter in the Tablet would pick up on the 5ghz band with a new router. Is there any type of updates or drivers or am I okay?
Thank you,
Jon
I'm on 5Ghz all the time. No issues.
Great news !!
I asked the question after I learned about the variety with routers and especially since I found out that my laptop's WiFi adapter only supports b,n,g and that I would need to buy a USB WiFI adapter for my laptop or somehow change the adapter chip inside my laptop to take advantage of the 802.11ac dual protocol.
Thank you, Jon
I have the t825 version, unfortunately I have problems with the 5 Ghz connection.
I hope Samsung releases an update to fix the connection problem and to improve the camera

Hi, I have the T835 and I have the same problem. It disconnects 5 ghz, problem since I bought it.
Sorry, I'm wrong with thread
Hello everyone
A week ago I bought my Galaxy S9+. Sad to say that I've been having connection issues. When my wifi connection drops neither apps nor browser can connect to the internet even though the 4G logo is present at the top bar. To resolve this I need to do a reboot and then everything works normal.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
Does this seem like a problem I could fix myself or should I return the phone (which I prefer not because of the hassle)...
Hi, have you found any solution to your problem? I have a similar one and it starts doing that after the last update in June, before it used to work fine.
