Anyone else having wifi signal drop? I can connect but in a very short time it loses signal. The only way to keep it working is to shut down wifi and restart. I've done that 30 times in the last hour.

Was this the case prior to ICS update? Seems like software issue to me. My new one from hhgregg has a weaker wifi than my BB one I returned but I'm not sure I want to update to 11.1 yet in fear I might run into more issues.

Finally got my 64GB in today as well. Came with Honeycomb. Installed drivers, and rooted via option #2.

F.Y.I. I tried option 1 on honeycomb and had no joy.

In the process of backing up root and updating now.

Wifi seems sporadic with the Prime, my 32GB US model has ran like a champ. In fact wifi and gps have both been great. I knew about the issues before I got my Prime, so I wasn't expecting much when I got it, due to aluminum back panel.
Obviously most of these issues can be attributed to the hardware design, so it doesn't matter where or when you got your Prime. I originally pre-ordered the 64GB, grew tired of waiting and settled for the 32GB model. The issues of wifi and gps seem to be divided amongst Prime owners, some are perfectly happy, others are extremely disappointed.
TF700T will address these issues and I will buy one when it eventualy hits the market. Unfortunately until then, we just have to put up with the problems.

You can hope that it will be fixed by the plastic back, but based on the prelim tests on it that I have read it has not changed the GPS lock speed much if at all.

No wifi issues at all on my home network but it was hell on the office wifi

Same thing here. Send it back and buy a tablet that works correctly or wait for the new transformer in Q2

I have a similar experience. The wifi works excellent at home, but walking down the hall at work it does not switch access points as smoothly as other devices do. Requiring me to stop for a while in order to establish the connection.

Would this method work with the beta ota rom ending in 9.4.2.11.1?

I guess I'll have to patiently for a new root method.

In other news, the program was dead simple to use and pretty nice.

Welcome to the party, sucks huh. Has me studying exploits.

I never realised how much I needed root until now! Mine was updated with the files from Asus webpage because I couldn't get the update ota. Oh well will be watching!
