Default Wifi constantly disconnect/reconnect

Hoping someone has a solution. My wifi keeps disconnecting/reconnecting. I'm running TNT 3.1.1. Also the signal is really low even though I'm next to the router. I've searched around, but can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks.

Right there with you on this one. I can't get more then 10 feet from my router before I lose my connection. Very annoying to say the least. I wonder if this is software or hardware.

I have the same and I am using vegan b3. I don't recall having this issue while using tnt 2.2. Or the stock. Anyways, I have noticed that it only happens when I am on a page more than a few mins such as reading an article, etc. If I am watching movie(flash) or playing online game, it is fine. I am suspecting it has something to do with the battery management.

I'm running stock 3389 with GApps.

I get full signal when I'm by my router and around my apt. I have a Linksys WRT610N with DDWRT firmware. It's running on a 2.4Ghz full N radio. I used a wifi app called Wifi Analyzer on my phone to find the best channel to set the router to, as in apts. you know many people are using the same channel and this can lead to signal loss on your devices.

Anyway, it sounds like you just need to find a less crowded channel maybe, I don't THINK it's the device. Are you using G or N or both? When I was using the router's 2.4Ghz in G/N mode I saw a slight signal drop throughout the place which is essentially why I switched to pure N and then just set up a legacy network on another router for wifi G stuff.

I had this problem not with my non-existant G tablet, but my latop, cell and other wifi connecting devices.

I changed the chane l# my wifi was broadcasting on and it fixed it. Maybe you guys can try that.

In my case, it is not a signal issue since I always have full bar and there is not many wifi hotspots around my house. I am used to it now and when I see the wifi icon is gone, I just click the location of the wifi icon, and within a sec or two, the wifi icon will appear. I will flash to tnt. 3.1 soon, hopefully the problem will,disappear.

I havent used VegaN - is there any setting that could possibly be turning off wifi when the system is idling? In phones there's a wifi setting that turns it off after a certain time idle. I know it's unlikely but just checking all the bases.

This appears to be the case. If so, it completely ignores my WiFi Sleep Policy, which I have set at "Never".

I have the problem whether stock ROM or not. Love the tablet, but this is frustrating.
