[Q] WiFi permanently broken?

[huzaifah29]

Hey guys,

My wifi seems to be completely broken as even after multiple factory resets, it still does not work. I have used the stock factory images from google to install 4.4.4 and even today installed 5.0.1. But still the wifi does not work.

The tablet is able to scan for networks and find my home router, but when I connect it stays stuck on "Saved" and won't connect further. A few months ago I was trying to spoof my mac address and it seemed to stop working after that, could that be the permanent cause?

What would you recommend? I am past the warranty period but got the tablet from sainsburys UK

Have you reset your router ? If not, cycle its power and then power up your tablet and try to connect. Sometimes some routers think a device is connected when it is not.

I really don't think it's router related as I have had two different routers over the time the WiFi has been broken (none of them work). Also I've tried connecting to my phone hotspot but still the same problems.
