Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Nexus 7 world as well as to multiple access point set ups. In my house I have Verizon Fios. On my second floor on one side of the house I have the Fios Actiontec Router with wireless built in. Downstairs on the other side of my house I have a Netgear WNDR3700 wireless router setup as an access point (only the wireless is turned on, DHCP is disabled). Both the action tec and the Netgear have the same SSID, and same security setup (WPA2) and same password.
The issue comes in when I move about the house. My droid phone switches between the two access points flawlessly. The Nexus 7 does not. When I get closer to the other access point, I see the signal get stronger, then the WiFi lines will disappear leaving a totally blank Wifi icon (no lines- not even gray). After about 20 seconds it icons come back, they turn from gray to blue and it connects to the stronger Access Point. I searched some and didn't see if any one had this issue or not.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix for it or am I doing something wrong perhaps? I mean, I can easily wait the time it takes to reconnect to the stronger AP, I just wish it worked the way the other devices too (seamless transition).
Thanks
Brian
