Lenovo TAB2 A10 Networking Failure on a repeater

[John Gammel]

Have a brand new Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F at Android Version 5.0.1. Our FL residence has two concrete buildings so they are wirelessly bridged using DD-WRT and Linksys routers into one network. They TAB works fine on the primary wireless network XXX but can't see the internet on XXXvi. Other devices including iPhones, iPads, Nexus 5 phone and Windows laptops work seamlessly on either router and you can readily walk back and forth without a connection issue. We can also print using these devices to printers attached to either router so I'm confident of the network configuration which has been in place for over 2 years.

I've rebooted all the network gear from the DSL modem to the XXXvi router, removed all the DHCP clients, etc. I also did a hard reset on the TAB thinking that a config file got corrupted but with the same results. I also removed and reconnected to the XXXvi network.

Chrome reports "You are offline", "Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off" and DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET. Strange since in the WLAN it's connected to the XXXvi network. I also used IP Tools and it didn't show on outside IP, position, etc.

Try using 2.4ghz on the router

 

[John Gammel]

All the routers are versions of Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GL so they are 2.4 Ghz.
I didn't mention it in my original post but I also tried Firefox with the same results.

I've attached screen shots from IP Tools for the two networks taken with my phone.

I edited this to include .png files rather than .jpg photos.
