Here is a solution that works for some with the WiFi connect/disconnect issue. Go to Settings -&gt; Wi-Fi settings -&gt;Wi-Fi disconnect policy and change the policy. Mine was originally on "Never (uses more battery power), I changed it to "When screen turns off" and have not had the issue since. I understand that it has something to do with the Android OS not Motorola hardware. Just like the issue with teh MicroSD slot, the reason is the Android OS, there are hacks out there but I will wait for Google to fix it.

The wifi is weak on this tablet. You have to make sure your wireless is seen and just connect to it. Would be the same way you connect your computers to your wifi or any wifi.

The key words are "until it happens again". I don't think it should happen. I believe it is in Xoom and caused by the latest Andriod update to 3.2.1. My Xoom exhibits the same behavior regardless of what router I'm using; other tablets (iPad, eg) do not. C;mon Motorola - admit the problem and fix it. It's annoying!

Unless the connection pattern is exactly the same as the Xoom, this will not work with other Andriod devices.

Hello, I bought the Xyboard for my fianc. He would be able to assist you with this. How did the tablet stop working? Did you try to do the update for Jellybean?

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

There is a know issue with the Sony Tablet S, where the wifi will not connect upon waking, turning on or it totally looses connection They did push an update to "correct" the issue, but it didn't help. You can download apps that will help to keep the wifi connected but they are minor in helping at best. I would suggest selling your tablet and buying another brand.

I have never had a problem connecting with wifi. Since I am not a "techie", I would call Samsung support.

Me either. Thinking of sending mine back. I got two. I can't use Google Play Store because wifi not strong enough. Strangly, every other device in our house is worki fine with our current wifi set up, so it MUST be this device.

Sounds like your having a network issue and not a device issue since your able to connect

It might just be your connection, as I never have any issues with Wifi. Does the issue persist at all wifi locations, or just at home/work? If it's just at home, it could be your wireless router.

Is the wifi settings on? Is there any networks for you to connect via wifi?

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?

In the same boat. I get wifi connection drops after about 2 weeks. Not sure what the issue is, it's something out of a early 2000 episode.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like somebody may have messed with the WIFI settings, and I have no idea what the original settings would be. You might try a hard reset, in your owners book there is a page describing how to do this, I beeive it entails putting a small point into a small hole in the back or side of the tablet, and then it will reset itelf to factory settings good luck

yes, they are completely separate. what I liked is the fact that if you are in a wi fi area it can over ride the 3g so you don't use up 3g data time. I used the Xoom in S Africa with a Vodacom SIM for internet access but when I was in a place that had free wi fi access it would automatically switch to wi fi and save on my prepaid 3g.

Have had mine since March and only WIFI problems have been with router from X-finite. My only word of advice is to get help from qualified HP support personnel. Many claim to have the technical capability but many do not.
