WiFi Problems

[ragebunny]

I've had the Transformer for a few weeks now and haven't had much of a problem till now.

For some reason the Transformer will not pick up my WiFi network, it has since i got the device but now its just just showing anything, well its picking up random networks from houses around me but im more or less sat on my router. Plus my Nexus one connects to the Wifi just fine as well as all the various laptops and other devices in my house.

I installed the latest update a few days ago, im not sure of what it changed but here are the version numbers on my about screen:

wifi - v5.248.35

build number - HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511

Kernal - 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b6 android@mercury #1

Are there any known problems with this build? is anyone else getting this problem with this build or any other build?

Also if you have any solutions please share.

Thanks.

I have not had a problem with the TF wifi specifically, other then it appears to be 2.4 and not 5ghz, but I did have an issue with the home wifi a week or two ago.

Some reason the fios provided router quit passing out dhcp addresses. Things that are static still worked and all of the devices that already had a dhcp address continued to work. New leases just were not being passed out. Since I have the fios wifi disabled and have a separate router acting as my AP I simply enabled dhcp server on that and disabled the fios router. Now everything, TF included, has no issues with the home network.

A clue I had this problem was the TF would get associated but still would not work, always stuck on getting an IP. The Windows laptops did the same thing.

Well its turns out its a problem with my router. For some reason if i change the SSID it finds it again. There was also a problem with using security as well.

But its not the Tablet that's the problem there was another computer in my house having a bad time. Guess its a new router needed.

I had the same issue today. My Transformer has been working fine for a week and today it stopped being able to see the WAP. All my other devices were fine.

I have found it was caused by my WAP (HP MSM310) auto selecting a channel higher than 10 (it was on channel 13). I tested channel 11 and 12 and the transformer could not see these either.

Channels 1-10 were all fine.

Try setting a static channel or if possible modify your WAP to not use channels higher than 10 (2.457 GHz)

In EU up to channel 11 (2462MHz) is detected, in line with the original 802.11 specification. I'm slightly surprised that isn't the case elsewhere.
