Not sure if im the only one but every so often my tab does not connect to my home wifi, it does connect to my vibrant via tether no problem. Now i have had this issue a few other times and the only solution i can come up with is to do a factory reset, once i do that i have to set up the connection then im up and running. Does anyone have the same issue? Any suggestions? Dont want to keep reseting the tab just to get a working connection.

Flash your router with dd-wrt up the default signal strength footprint

i dont think its anything to do with the router as i am able to connect my Vibrant and my laptop via wifi and no issues, but with my tab sometimes it just sits there trying try to connect
It is probably your router!
My primary router (WRT300N) connects just fine to my laptop, Wii, HD2 (with winmo) Touch pro II with older android port. But refuses to properly connect the Tab, company laptop (IBM), wife's laptop (Packard Bell), Touch pro II with newer Android ports.
It either does not get a IP or with an IP there is no data transfer.
Connected a WAP54g and all connect just fine!
DD-wrt is not supported for this router (V2), so cannot try that.
Is your ssid hidden? i believe froyo was suppose to able to connect to hidden ssids but try disabling that feature. Change it to wep just to check. I am using wpa2; I haven't had any issues.
Bought myself a new router, and now all can connect just fine.
I have the same problem. It just constantly connects and disconnects. Not sure what to do.

Hi,
I have the same problem here, connection gone after a few mins, Wifi shows still connected although I can't access the net.
Contacted Samsung in the UK and they have asked me to return my Tab to them for repair!
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe useful. Some programs like Locale scan WiFi periodically for location info. It drove me nuts isolating the problem when the WiFi tether on my Droid would stop working after 5-10 minutes (random time but constant, because of when in Locale's scan cycle I started the tether). For those that are having problems of being able connect, but then the connection showing on, but seeming dead, that may be the issue. Toggling WiFi off and on reestablishes it, or you could just disable the program doing the scan until you head out to move around again.

The Tab doesn't support 5Ghz 802.11n or MIMO (the tab only has a single antenna) so 72Mbps is the best you can hope for over the 2.4Ghz channel, which you _might_ get if you stand right beside the router.
In most cases, 65Mbps is the best you can expect from any router with the Galaxy tab. Virtually no mobile devices seem to support the 5Ghz spectrum that the "fast" 300Mbps 802.11n requires.
Also, you'll get faster speeds if you change your setting from "bgn mixed" to "n only" and see if the tab still connects.
I often have difficulty connection to my WLAN at home, often I need to turn wifi off & on again a couple of times and leave it for a minute before it eventually connects. I don't think the WiFi in Android is particularly robust.
After the upgrade to Lollipop on my Yoga 2 830, I'm noticing that the wifi gets no internet access even while connected every so often. I have to turn off and turn back on the wifi for it to reconnect. Is anyone else having this issue? I don't have any issues w/ any of my other devices connected to wifi.
I'm not on static IP, no issues with the router. I didn't have any issues on kitkat. Please share if you also have this issue. Thanks.

Hello!
Did you try connecting your device to another wifi network to see if the problem persists?
I have noticed something similar happening with my Xperia Z ultra after it upgraded to lollipop. I realised that it was happening only on the older wifi routers (I use an ancient Linksys WRT54G), but seems to have no problem with the newer ones.
Changing the channel of your wifi router might help alleviate the problem. I am not certain if it would work in your case, but if you do not have another router handy, this just might do the trick. If you are looking to change the channel, an easy guide is available here.
I hope this helps
I've got a Netgear AC1900 nighthawk with a netgear ex6200 range extender. The tablet is primarily connected to the 5ghz band on the nighthawk. I do have other routers but they are older. I might have to try to take it to work and see if I lose internet access.
I've changed the bands around and it does help. I've rebooted the router, rebooted the tablet, forgotten the wifi and so on. It's still happening after some time. By the looks of it, there are others that have experienced this on other devices. I haven't done a factory reset. I would prefer not have to go through the setup again.
Hi Guys,
My OP2 is able to connect to My Wifi router pretty fine. I usually go to my cousin's place to hang out.
At that time, my OP2 is not able to connect to my cousin's Wifi Router. My other devices (moto g, Mi3 and my office laptop) are able to connect to it without any issues.
My OP2 is showing the Router signal, after giving password, it is showing as "Saved".
Could you please help me out here.. as i usually hang in his place during weekends..
Cheers!!!
Just disable ipv6 on your Modem/Router and you are good to go, no more DROPS in your WiFi signal.
If your modem doesn't have the option to disable ipv6, you can alternatively create an ad-hoc network while this is not patched by Oneplus.
This was tested today in oneplus forum, so it may not solve the issue for all the users.
Let US know if this worked for you.
Cheers
I have other problem, same SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz, and OnePlus is switching between them when I am little further form the router (so 5GHz drops a bit in range). So for example going to bathroom I have to wait there until connection to play my spotify
Will this work too?

Hi I have a issue I don't understand maybe someone could help. I am browsing the web or watching YouTube and my phone drops WiFi connection completely after 20 minutes.also other devices are not online eather. At first I thought my isp was the issue. That's not the case because as soon as I switch my 3s max WiFi off all other devices connect with no problems.as long as my 3s max WiFi off other people in my home can use the web with no problems.as soon as I switch my 3s max WiFi without 20 minutes my phone is offline and and other people are ofline as well. Is my phone faulty
Are you sure the issue isn't just your router or modem?
When I brought my router upstairs and connected it to the Ethernet port in my room (which is fed through a hole in the wall going down to the basement and plugs into the modem there) I discovered that my laptop's WiFi signal would drop every 5 minutes. No other devices had this issue. Only 2 laptops were connected to the 2.4 Ghz network being broadcasted by this ac router and only my laptop was having issues. The issues were magically solved by taking the router back downstairs.
It wasn't the router and it wasn't my laptop's WiFi card, since Internet worked fine with the router downstairs. Turns out the Ethernet port isn't wired correctly. The point of this story is, you need to undergo the process of elimination to figure out what's causing the issue. Maybe your router can't handle X number of devices at the same time, or something is eating up bandwidth and throttling your connection.
