WiFi router problems or nexus 7?? Help??

[will3454]

I had the problem of my signal on my n7 dropping every few seconds. What fixed it for me was I just added the device to my router and that fixed it.

For those of you wondering, this isn't easy if you're technologically challenged. You may not know of the following information. This worked for my Cisco WiFi router, you may need to Google 'how to access QoS settings for (your router model name here)'. Note that this is if you experience lag with videos or games.

Setting your QoS settings.

1. In your computer, enter your IP address into your PC browser. This will take you to your router settings.

To find out your IP address, Google 'what's my IP address?'. Enter that number into your address bar. (Ex. 11.11.1)

2. Go to the Online and Gaming tab.

3. Click QoS.

4. Since you probably don't know much of what you're doing, leave the bandwidth management set to auto.

5. Add a device by MAC address.

6. Name it Nexus 7 or whatever.

7. Enter your MAC address.

Found in your tablet, Settings---> About Tablet under System at the bottom---> Status---> Copy Wi-Fi MAC address you see

8. Set priority to high.

9. Save changes and you're done!

This should let YouTube videos stream better if you have problems, or online lag.

I have a 16 GB Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.1. The device works fine at work but at home, only the browser works. Neither Google Play nor Google Talk connect to the Internet.

I've tried almost all the suggestions mentioned on this thread already. I have a DLink DI-524 WiFi router which runs at 2.5 GHz and does not run on the N frequency. I've tried setting the security to WPA2+PSK, WPA+PSK, WEP, No Security, WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK. None of these worked.

I've tried setting the channel to 6, 11, 12, 13 but none of them helped either.

I've set a static IP for the Tablet but that does not work as well.

So I'm pretty much all out of options. I know it's not a problem with the device since it works fine at work.

Does anyone else have other options to try? Is it specific to my router (which is ancient as it is)

It depends on the network speed. If your network speed is high then then youtube video will not freeze.

Go to speedtest.net and give me your results, you can also try the app, but PC is better I believe.

My speed is 16mbs on the app and I never have the YouTube problem. 16mbs is about 16898kbs or something similar.

I don't have a problem with Speedtest. The problem is specifically _only_ with Google Talk and Google Play app. Both of them do not connect to the Internet. I have opened port 5228 on both the DSL modem and the WiFi router (D-Link DI-524)
