I got this phone and now I know about the problem with the wifi I cannot connect to any network via dhcp. The phone just keeps looping but it never gets up. I read a lot about this issue and some people is blaming the routers which is wrong. how is it possible that my pc, nexus 7, smart tv, receiver and blu ray are connected and my phone not?
I am able to connect if I put static ip. But when I want to connect to a public wifi or hotspot which requires to enter a password on a web page I can't.
So is there really a solution beside changing the phone or putting static ip¡

My note wont connect to my wifi at home. It connects to work and my hotspot just fine. Also every other device including my nexus 7 connect just fine. What could be causing this?
Try a different access point manufacturer. My fried also has a Note 8 and he had the same issue. His router access point was from TimeWarner. He added a Linksys accesspoint and worked just fine.

Do a little more troubleshooting. If it connects to every network except yours, we can confidently say it's your router. Does it even show up on the list of available networks? Be more specific. What kind of router do you have? is it dual band?

I have the 105mbps internet through Comcast so we have their brand gateway (modem/router combined). Basically what happens is the tablet will connect to the network but has no internet access. It shows everything is OK but as soon as you try to load any website it says webpage not available, the play store won't load, etc. But its weird. All devices listed in my signature connect just fine, and so does my smart TV, ps3, and blue ray player, there is literally nothing else that won't connect.
And yes I've tried the basics of booting everything off the network, changing channels on the modem, changing encryption settings and factory resetting the gateway.

The issue of my Galaxy Note 8.0 (3G vesion) is WiFI unstable connectivity.
All of my devices (3 other tablets and 3 other notebooks ) work well with the access point.
but Note 8.0 is just unstable, taking a lot of time to load data for youtube media app, and webpage .
I had tried a different access point manufacturer, but the issue remains.
I had upload some YouTube video ( but voice is using Chinese/Mandarin lagauage)

I've had the same issue with the same Comcast router. Every other device works except for the Note 8.
Just bought a note 8.. also have comcast modem router with phone combo.. same issue. Connects fine but internet wont work. Huge bummer which I think is going to make me return it and get an ipad mini instead.

Why would you gimp your self in to a less capable tablet because your ISP's god-awful router doesn't meet the standard? Seriously, you would be doing your self a HUGE favor by going and getting a real router and dropping that crappy gateway/access point off your monthly bill (you are likely renting that POS from comcast.)

Exactly, especially with APs being so cheap these days.

I'm having the same problem with my brand new Netgear router. I have a feeling this problem is similar to the issue the Note 2 wifi has. Unfortunately, on the Note 2 there's a code you can enter on the phone interface that allows you to turn of it's wifi power saver mode (that's what causes the problem on the Note 2). With no phone interface, I'm not sure how to get to that setting on the Note 8. Changing it on my Note 2 made a TON of difference though. On the Note 2 the code is *#0011# in the dialer. Anyone got any ideas?
Same problem here with one of my routers. It works for a second or two then disconnects. The only way to get the Note working was to disable wifi G and N modes on the router, and only use B mode.

I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Try Foxfi?

Honestly don't think this is possible.
It would be like trying to connect the phone to it's own Wi-Fi hotspot that it created?
Has anyone tested the TAB PRO to mirror using Chromecast? Can you share the experiences?

I can use apps like netflix, but i have to be in a valid country to use it. Using vpn will break the connection. For mirroring only possible
If you are rooted. Mine is not (tab pro 8.4 ). In the following link read something about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
I also have a nexus 4 wich works fine mirroring, but vpn breaks the connection again.
A other work arround would be a dwrt router where you change the dns server. Or you could use a pc as hotspot router where all clients
connect to. Maybe its better to use the dongle from samsung or a smart tv easier setup and works for me.

Actually instead of VPN I am using Unblock-us in a Linksys router which works fine with Roku and Apple tv or any other device conected to it, but not with Chromecast since they force the use of their own DNS. This is why I was looking at mirroring as an option , but I agree with you that a dongle might be the best option to avoid any lagging or interruptions.
Thanks

I ended up buying a Dongle on Amazon, which is much cheaper than the Samsung, and I dont have to worry about the compatibility with Chromecast. I suppose Sasmung will make Cast Mirroring available to all devices sometime soon
Cromecast mirroring by r3pwn
I used the hack by r3pwn [EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device and had no issues what-so-ever with my SM-T900 (12.2 Tab Pro).
I had my mobile hotspot connected to my ps3 yesterday, and it was working just fine. It stopped working while I was watching a movie on Hulu, and I haven't been able to get it connected since then. My ps3 can obtain the IP address, but not connect to the internet. I tried to connect my hotspot to another phone, and it's the same problem. It says connected, but nothing works. Any solutions?

this may sound idiotic or like im trolling, but have you rebooted the phone since the issue started?
