So I've had my Tab S 8.4 for about a month and I've noticed that Wifi and Bluetooth don't play nice together. If I have wifi on andthen turn on Bluetooth, the wifi just disconnects from the network and says it can't find any networks.
Is there any possible fix for this or have I gotten a dodgy device? I've looked around the net and tried changing my wifi channel to no avail. Some article said something about 2.4GHz vs 5GHz and only using 5GHz for wifi but I think my router's too old for that.

Have you used Sidesync? Disable that (or clear app data and cache) and try again. Worked for me.

Hi All,
I have a D-Link DSL-2740BR N 300 modem router. When I connect my HOX to it's Wifi I get data for about 10 seconds and then it totally locks up. I still have a connection and good signal, but no data come up or down. If I now leave it connected after about 10 minutes all wifi data on my router stops working so no other devices can use it. As soon as I disconnect my HOX from the wifi data returns to all other devices!
I have set the channel so it's not on automatic selection and I have given my HOX a specific DHCP lease, other than that I can't seem to change any other settings on my router that I can see would influence this.
Does anyone have ANY hints coz I don't feel like forking out for a new router and this is just ridiculous!
Thanks in advance.
this happens at work, my hox connects to a linksys wag120n, which is acting as a wap, its connected to another netgear prosafe router.
sometimes, not always, when the hox disconnects, it stops the internet working for all connected devices, even if they aren't using the wireless router at all! then i have to reboot the wireless router, not the other one, to make everything work again.
it doesn't do this at home, it's weird, i've tried playing around with the router settings but no difference... really annoying problem
Did you try to chane WPA to WEP encryption method? It may help. I had the same kind of problem with my Zyxel router.

I haven't tried that. I have had issues with ROMs on my old phone (X10) that it couldn't connect to WPA, but I didn't even think that could be a problem as it does actually connect... It's worth a try I guess, but I think I'm gonna have to try buying a new router...
Cheers.

Yes it is a really annoying problem. I do know that it happened less often with the original ROM & Kernel, but who am I kidding? There's no way I'm going back from CM9!
ive tried a factory reset on the wireless router, will report back whether it helps or not.

Ahh! Thank you! That totally fixed it! I can't believe that could even be a problem... Do you think it's the phone side, or the router side that's having issues with WPA?
Thanks so much!
btw, a factory reset didn't help, however, i have changed my 'Network Mode' option to 'G-only' instead of 'Mixed'
so far, so good, it's been a day or two now, one x happily connecting and disconnecting as i go in and out of office, and the internet hasn't gone down yet!!
glad to hear you got yours working properly as well RaVe-N

HI guys, i have set a WiFi repeater in my house but every time i go to the 1st floor o have to turn WiFi off and on to make it connect to the repeater, is that normal?
Thanks in advance.
What kind of repeater is it? Netgear? Belkin?
Have you made the SSID the same as your main network? I found that when I did that, my repeater worked flawlessly with my wireless stuff in the house... didn't believe that that stuff actually worked but it was really good to see.
Works fine on my Nexus devices. It doesn't sound normal that you're having that issue - maybe try a reset on the repeater and your main router just to be sure.
It's a Tp-Link, but the thing is i have to turn Wifi off and on on my GNex to make it connect to the repeater, if i don't, it stays connected to the router downstairs, even with a strong signal from the repeater on the 1st floor.
Is this supposed to happen?
Same Issue
I have the same problem with a Nexus 7 / Android 4.2 and a TP-Link repeater.
Android wont switch from Router to repeater even if signal strength is Router: ~50% / Repeater: ~100%.
Switching Wifi off and on works. But there has to be an other solution.
"Best Wifi" is an app that should do this if I understood right, but it did not work for me.
Has anyone a great idea?
Thx a lot!
//edit Repeater and Router have got the same SSID. This is necessary for me.

You could try checking "avoid poor connections" in wifi advanced settings. That might help in auto switching between the two. I gave up on having the same ssid on my router and repeater. My problem was I was auto switching between the two and during the switch there was no data. So now I use 2 ssids; connect to the router when upstairs, and the repeater downstairs.

Thanks for your help. Android 4.2 does not seem to have that option. In the advanced options I set up static IP adress. There was no checkbox like that to be found.
I'm digging up this old thread because it was found easiest in google search and because I have the same question. It seems more and more we have to switch off wifi and then turn it back on to connect to the repeater. I have the same security and same SSID on both. There has to be a solution to this issue by now. Maybe someone can chime in? An S3, S4, S4 Straight Talk and F7 are all doing it.
I'm having an issue where my WiFi connection drops. Tab still says connected but I get no throughput. All other wireless devices still work. I have to toggle the wifi on the tab on and off to reconnect. Router is an actiontec C1000A.
I've read other threads where people had similar issues and exchanged tablets for new ones only to have them do the same. Router is good, it works with all my other devices without issue. What good is a WiFi only tablet if the WiFi sucks eggs?

Well my wifi has been brilliant, the only issue I had was that although my wifi router was working with every other device and even my Note 10.1 it didnt want to play youtube videos on it. So I changed connection to my other broadband and it worked a treat so even though your router works with other devices it doesn't mean the tablet is faulty just that the router and tablet don't like each other.
Best way to try this is go to a friends house and try their connection or go to a coffee shop where they have free wifi and hopefully you will see wifi doesn't suck eggs lol. Anyways hope your problem gets sorted.

Are you just complaining or are you asking for help?............ If your asking for help please tell us if you are using 2.5 or 5ghz, b, g, n, ac, channel #. Many things can cause wifi issues and sometime a monitoring app from the play store like "Wifi analyzer" can help narrow down whats really going on.
Im asking for help by complaining. I'll get some more detailed info on my network and post it up later.
My modem/router was set to auto detect... I used wifi analyzer to set it to a less crowded fixed channel. I also turned off 802.11n. It had b, g and n simultaneously... Now it's just b and g. So that's 2.4 GHz? I don't have super Internet, so no real need for "n". I'll report back after I see if this changes anything. The security is WPA2-Personal...don't know if that has any effect. Any other ideas are appreciated.
This device has been a disappointment after other, does someone here has a solution for this problem?
I can't use my wifi with Bluetooth on, which means no gamepad for games or headset for music and its driving me crazy lol
I can get 50mb/s speed with BT off and it goes down to 0mb/s with BT on
I suppose is a software problem, but its been 4 months without updates from xiaomi, so does any one has a fix for this?
Device is locked and unrooted, wiping connections fix it for 5 seconds, factory reset does nothing
I solved this by buying new router (AC2100). Here soon MIUI update and devs knows this bug, so if they don't gonna fix this, I recommend do as I did. That's the way how I fixed this issue. Gl o/

for a 5ghz connection? yes it "works" I did the same but that leaves me with no wifi for my other devices that don't connect to a 5ghz wifi...

Most 5GHz routers are dualband, you can use 5GHz and 2.4GHz at the same time

not in my case, I use a tp-link adapter and hotspot mobile from windows 10.. but thank you anyway
Since I've purchased the note 10 +, I've had some wifi connection issues. The phone never stays connected, or will drop wifi frequently. Normally once a day. Now though, it is much more common, and it is for longer periods of time. I'll be casting something to my tv, and then the video will drop due to the phone trying to "reconnect" to the wifi. Has anyone else seen similar issues?
No issues here with WiFi. Do you have any other devices that exhibit this issue? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?
I've tried resetting the router, and doing a factory reset on the device. Also, I've tried it on another wifi network and it does it there as well. No other devices that I have on my wifi exhibit the same behaviour. I was hoping with a software update it would get better but it is getting worse.
Do you have a case on your phone?
Any settings made in advanced wifi settings?
Tried app like wifi analizer? Both to check the received wifi strength and also possible wifi congestion...
Are the problems only while casting to TV or also when streaming of Internet?
Did you try change in wifi settings in router, like extended lease time or assigning fixed ip-adresses to both TV and phone, change of wifi channel, switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

The wifi network is fine. Both in signal and congestion. The phone is set to be on the 5 ghz. And I've never had any issues with it on any other device. I lose signal frequently. I only used the casting example to help people understand what's happening.
Now there is a problem with many routers. Even expensive models may not solve the problem with an Internet connection. I also had problems connecting to wi-fi. The phone was disconnected from the router once every few days. I called the guys who connected the Internet to me, but they said that everything was fine on their part. They sent me a master, he looked, but could not do anything except how to change my router. A few days later, I realized that the problem was not solved and started Googling the problem on the Internet. I came across a forum where they advised me to enter this ip 192.168.1.1 and after a couple of manipulations, I was able to fix my problem.

Are you just talking about the programming page of Netgear's routers? Netgear also has apps for that...

How did entering your router's default IP address fix your issue? What changes did you make to your router's configuration?
Just saying that you entered that IP address and making a couple of manipulations doesn't help the OP.
