Iconia A1-830 has a Wifi connection problem when it out to 3-5 meters

 I bought Aser Iconia A1-830 in BestBuy and after 10 days I found out the Wifi Connection problem. If you stay close to router (1-3 meters) the WiFi signal is Good (not excellent). If I go to another room - Wifi connection is Poor or disabled. I changed it for another one (the same model). The second model was perfect only 1.5 months and now it has the same wifi connection problem. Can somebody help me? Maybe the problem in my router, but why it worked 1.5 months? 

I'm not sure what the real reason is, but I do know it's a it of a hassle getting the connectors pushed back on. They are very tiny and take some pressure to install and I could easily imagine a wire not completely tied in place moving enough to work loose. Let us know how yours comes out.

  • OSX Mavericks Wifi connection problem when system starts

    My macbook pro unable to connect to the preset wifi when system started, same whether starts and ready from sleep-mode, or previous shutdown mode.
    This starts to happen just several weeks recently.
    However, after restart the entire OSx, the connection (auto detect and connect) would be back to normal.
    What's wrong? and any idea to solve this problem? Restart the OS takes very long time, and I don't like to waste time everytime open the laptop.
    Please help. Thanks.

  • BB Link thinks it has a WiFi connection so backup won't run

    Summary: BB Link thinks that it has a WiFi connection when WiFi is switched off and phone is connected by USB.
    Computer: Dell E5550 OS Win 7, SP1, 64 bit.
    Link 1.2.3.56
    Phone: BB Q10, OS 10.2.1
    Problem:
    The phone is plugged in to a USB port and the computer responds by making a sound and installing two BB devices in Device Manager neither of which has a yellow question mark.  The phone pops up to say that it is now connected to the computer.  The WiFi in both computer and phone is still switched off by default.  The phone has been shown to work normally with Link in three other computers (32 & 64 bit)
    Link should start automatically but does not do so.  After Link is started manually, the phone then connects and disconnects in Link twice before finally establishing a connection.  Any new photos are then synchronised and are listed in Recent Activity in Link.  The phone is meanwhile charging, and the phone SD card and flash memory are mapped in Windows Explorer as drives Y: and Z:  Link displays in colour code the disposition of files in the phone memory on the device home screen.
    The next Link screen is Backup & Restore which displays in bold yellow "Device cannot be backed up or restored when connection is through WiFi"  WiFi on both phone and computer is still OFF!
    The Contacts / Calenders screen gives a similar message to the Backup & Restore screen and asks me to connect using USB as WiFi cannot be used for this function.  As far as I can see, USB is the only connection present.
    The Synced Media screen is OK as this will work with WiFi even though it is not switched on.
    Switching on the WiFi at this stage unsurprisingly changes nothing, but when it is then switched off, the phone disconnects from Link.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed Link countless times and also deleted and re-installed the device drivers in Device Manger about 3 times, but with no positive effect on the situation.  I still cannot backup to Link and have to pull out an old computer (which I would like to dump) for this purpose only.
    Hopefully, someone might have experienced this situation before?  I know that OS 10.3.1 might solve this problem as might a newer version of Link but right now these are not available to me.

    Yes, you are correct about the Intel wireless system used by Dell.  If you connect using the taskbar wireless symbol then you do have the opportunity to uncheck the Connect Automatically box.
    However, if you connect from Manage Wireless Networks, then you are also offered the opportunity to create a profile (or not).  To create a pofile appears to be the default.
    What Link has picked up on however is not clear at all so it appears that this problem may very well be computer specific.  The other strange aspect being that phone connection cannot happen unless I am logged onto BB ID.
    Many thanks for your suggestions.  I'll just have to wait to see if an upgrade can sort this out.  At least I can presently copy files using Explorer.

  • Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

    I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

    I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
    So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.

  • N95 8BG "WiFi Connection problems" and "Web: no ga...

    Like many users, I could not get my new Nokia (N95 8GB) to work with my WiFi. After many attempts, using the various ideas posted, I came up with a solution that works reliably for me.
    First lets deal with "WiFi Connection problems"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Wireless LAN
    'Show WLAN availability' = 'Yes'
    'Scan for networks' = 'Every 5 minutes'
    Some users have suggested choosing 'Advanced Settings' from the 'Options' menu, changing 'Automatic configuration' to 'Disabled' and the either setting 'RTS threshold' to '2346', or setting 'Power saving' to 'Disabled'. I tried both of these but they did not make any difference in my case. However they may make a difference for you, hence their inclusion here.
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Choose 'New access point' from the 'Options' menu
    'Data bearer' = 'Wireless LAN'
    'WLAN network name' = If your network is set to broadcast its SSID, use 'Search for networks' then select your network from the list, otherwise use 'Enter manually' and type in the SSID.
    'Connection name' = anything you like, but I use the SSID
    'Network status' = not sure about this maybe someone can confirm, but I think if the SSID is broadcast then it is 'public', otherwise it is 'private'.
    'WLAN network mode' = match this to your access point configuration. Mine is set to 'Infrastructure', so I do not cover the ad-hoc scenario here.
    'WLAN security mode' = again I am using WEP so have not covered other scenarios.
    'WLAN security settings' = these should match you access point configuration.
    'Homepage' = whatever you like. I use 'http://www.google.co.uk', just so that when I start browsing I get something reliable, useful, and dependable. If Google fails to appear it usually means there is something wrong with your config.
    Now lets handle the dreaded "Web: no gateway reply"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Scroll down to highlight the new access point and choose 'Edit' from the 'Options' menu. Now choose 'Advanced settings' from the 'Options' menu.
    Assuming you network used IPv4, which most do in my experience, select 'IPv4 settings'. I don't know about IPv6, and don't use a proxy so these are not covered.
    The values you enter in 'IPv4 settings', depend upon your network/router settings, and whether you have a DHCP server or not.
    Assume your a router IP Address, on the LAN side, is 192.168.0.1, and that it has a DHCP server set to serve addresses in the range 192.168.0.64 to 192.168.0.192, using subnet 255,255,255,0. Since the mobile does not seem able to get an IP Address from the DHCP server we give it a static address 192.168.0.55. Notice this is outside the range sereved by te DHCP server to avoid conflicts.
    We end up with:
    'Phone IP address = '192.168.0.55'
    'Subnet mask' = '255,255,255,0'
    'Default gateway' = '192.168.0.1'
    'DNS address' = 'user defined'
    'Primary DNS address' = '192.168.0.1'
    'Secondary DNS address' = '0.0.0.0'
    I used something similar and was at last able to browse the web via wifi.
    I hope all of the above helps someone out there.

    I have just experienced this problem having been using the WiFi network for months without problems. I tries all the suggestions on these forums including the power settings, turning off WEP, and the fixed IP suggestion and none worked. I even reinstalled the firmware and reconfigured everything. It turned out to be the router. I had rebooted it several times to no effect but the DHCP always gave the N95 the same IP address lease. So I changed the range of IP addresses the DHCP could lease and restarted the N95. It got a new IP and was back working again.
    If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

  • Chronic Wifi Connectivity Problems

    My late 2011 MBP has been having chronic wifi connectivity problems ever since I got it, although I have really only begun to see the full extent. I bought it in late April 2012, so I am still covered by my one year warranty.
    Problems are as follows:
    Will not connect to certain areas. I am okay in my dorm, at my house, and several friend's houses, but it won't connect anywhere else on campus. (You can imagine that this is a problem.)
    I am running bootcamp on it, and the Windows side has no issues with connectivity.
    About every month, like clockwork, the wifi stops working altogether. It won't give me an IP address and the only solution is to clean reinstall OS. Which is getting very annoying.
    Additional Information:
    Within the first 60 days of having my mac, I had connectivity problems at a friend's house. Still covered by Applecare, they fixed my problem by renewing the DHCP lease and some other things that I can't remember.
    I took the MBP to a Genius Bar when the wifi completely went out and the only solution they had was to clean reinstall the OS. This involves completely wiping the harddrive and reinstalling, not reinstalling over top of what is already there.
    As you can imagine, I am extremely frustrated having to reinstall and restore my machine. I am wondering if these problems are preventable, fixable, or if my computer has a manufacturing problem that can be fixed under my warranty.
    Thank you for your help!

    Hey RJS568999,
    I found that if you can connect to your Wi-Fi router, but are having issues with webpages loading, sending or receiving email, etc., Apple recommends you use Wireless Diagnostics, included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later.
    You can read more about it here:

  • Wifi connection problem better with full battery

    I have a macbook air I bought in 2012  (1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 Gb memory) I know there are a lot of problems with other users complaining of wifi connecting problems. I have experienced the same problem but only when my battery charge is less than 98%. After my macbook has been on sleep for several hours, and has not been plugged in, the battery slowly drains and when I try to use it, it refuses to connect to any wifi connection. But as soon as I charge it up to 100% then it automatically connects, without having to restart it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there has been any other answers from Apple regarding a potential fix for this issue....

    Try this and it should reset your printer.  On the front panel press the * and the # key at the same time, then press 1,2,3 in that order on the touch screen touch the left arrow button twice which will take you to the reset menu then press ok.  Press the left arrow two more times and it should say "semi-full reset" press ok and this will be performed.  The printer should shut down and will have to be turned back on, it will ask you for your language and your country the printer should initialize itself and should print an alignment page. NOTE: any speed dial numbers will be lost when you perform the semi-full reset.

  • New retina MacBook Pro - WiFi connectivity problems

    Dear all,
    I've recently purchased the new Haswell 13" retina MBP, and I'm having exactly the same WiFi connectivity problems the 2013 Airs had. I have a solid connection for a short time, and at irregular intervals it just drops out. All of my other devices are still connected and have no problems. I've tried with two different routers/modems, but the problem persists.
    Is this a known problem - with hopefully a software fix in the forseeable future, or do I need to return the MacBook?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    Nic

    I haven't got a Retina, but I do have the same wifi problem. And if you've looked at these forums, you'll see it's been going on for years and no one seems to have a handle on what the issue is. All I can say is if I were in your place I'd take it back and exchange it. You have the chance now, so take it.

  • IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

    I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
    I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
    I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
    So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
    1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
    2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
    3. It's not the router problem.
    4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
    5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
    Thank you for reading this and have a great day

    Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

    Which means exactly what? One iPad can connect intermittently and one doesn't connect at all?  This makes it sound to me like you are having WiFi issues with both of them. At least that's how I interpret your statement. 
    Start by rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

    to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle.  If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
    And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search.  The microphone is greyed out.
    So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

  • WiFi connection problem testing

    I am also one of many having the intermittent WiFi connection problem at home.
    From a technical testing mode. Get the free the "FreePing" application by Marcel Lanz in the app store.
    What you will find is when you are having the internet connection problem, you can not ping your Router. However, you can ping any wired Mac or desktop computer on your router/switch network.
    This tells you, you are on the network, getting an IP address from the router DHCP server.
    The problem is not related to the Wi-Fi connection or connecting to the network (OSI Layer 2 model).
    It appears to be a problem at the OSI Network Layer 3. The router is having a problem in the routing table. The hard part is the Layer 3 problem can be either in the Touch or the router in this configuration. Meaning, the combination of both Touch and router is causing the problem. Thus, the intermittent operation.
    Yes, this is probably more technical than anyone here cares to know.

    Hi,
    You should be debugging the driver / contact the vendor. Seems like netrtwlanu is realtek based chipset.
