Pretty much settled that the WiFi on my tab is gone. Did some online research. Can anyone verify the WiFi chip is indeed the Broadcom BCM4354KKUBG on the SM-T800 16GB? Figure the motherboard functions well as the tab does but none of the ROMs I've tried "re-activate" WiFi. Tried on several access points also. I've no problem cracking the case and digging in. Thoughts anyone? Thanks.

Plugged the Tab into a laptop (Win8) to transfer some files and AMAZINGLY the WiFi activated! Saw all local networks and was able to logon to home network. Working on office network also. Noticed Windows installed some files when first plugged in cable but other than that nothing else was done. Weird but welcome!

We have a 3com wireless router at home. The laptop downstairs connects to it through a PCMCIA wireless adapter. My phone also connects to it fine, no probs at all.
However, we have a pc upstairs with no wireless on it at all. I have been told that I can use the phone to "simulate" a wireless connection to the router through its USB connection. I have tried this using the program Wireless Modem on the phone but to no avail. Windows XP keeps looking for a driver that a dont have and is not supplies on the CD that comes with the phone. Any ideas where I can get this driver from, or am I doing this just completely wrong...... :roll:
Thanks
There seems to be a growing amount of threads regarding the whole WiFi scenario.
I have experienced problems too. I have managed to configure the wifi and it picks up my belkin wireless router but it cant surf.
I am also using XP!
Your problem is slightly different to mine but I will have a go at your problem too.
GOOD LUCK!
Ok. JUst to update, i have found the drivers that install the the phone as a HTC USB Modem but im still having no luck. Im trying to simulate my phone as a wireless card to connect to my router downstairs.
Is this possible???

Ive just got myself in the same situation. I have the XDA2i connected to my WIFI router fine, I can go on the WWW. Im now need to get my laptop into the loft where Im doing some work on an iriver H10 20gb (trying to construct a connection box as they arn't available until Sept!!!) I need the net access to look up pinouts on chips. I don't have a WIFI card for the laptop yet (should be here soon as on back order :evil: )
SO I want to use the PDA as a wifi card for my laptop through the usb port. How do i get the laptop to see the PDA as a network card and configured for this operation??
Cheers
Hey guys...kind of in a bind. I need to enable my TP2 as a Wifi hub quickly. I am sure that this has been discussed several times but am unable to find my answer in the time that I have. I have tried using the dongle approach but it seems as though the connection wont 'take'...which may be because of a poor/old USB connection on the laptop itself. Either way I know that the laptop has a quality wireless card and would like to make it connect through my phone via a wireless connection. Anyone have a cab or otherwise that can make this work? Thank you in advance for any help.
It is as simple as this

That doesnt really help. It is exactly the listing group that I had found before. Is there a cab file out there that I can install in order to make this happen?
WiFiRouter is the best way to go:

I use it all the time to tether via USB on my laptop. However, I've also used it as a mobile WiFi hotspot. My wife and I can both be on our laptops at the same time.
I've only used it a limited number of times in WiFi mode, but it has worked well when I did. The only issues I had was that the range did not need excessive. If I was more than 20 feet from my phone sign loss started happening. Of course, I live right under a cell phone tower so it may have been due to just lots of interference. Also, you'll burn through your battery pretty quick doing this as well.
I got a Tab S 10.5 a few weeks ago as a replacement for my Nexus 10. Overall, I feel like the Tab S is head and shoulders above the Nexus - but I've had some strange issues. I've had the wifi signal intermittently stop responding - it seems to be more prevalent on my 5GHz network using 802.11ac speeds but I've experienced it at standard 2.4GHz connections as well.
I haven't rooted the tablet yet. I thought at first it might be my wireless network as I hadn't used any other devices that were 'ac' capable even though I have a pair of Netgear R6300V2 routers bridged across my home. However, these wifi signal dropouts persist only on the Tab S - if I turn wifi off, then back on, connectivity is restored. My Galaxy S4, Chromecast, PC, DVR, all stay online just fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? I got my Tab S with the Samsung Book Cover - which I love, but it almost seems like it happens when I hold the Tab a certain way.
Thanks for anyone who can give any feedback.

Did you connect your Tab S with your S4 through SideSync at one point?
Yes, I have used Sidesync. I disabled remote notifications, but occasionally still get a pop-up that remote notifications are enabled even if I haven't used sidesync in days.

I too suffered wifi drop-out and Bluetooth issues. Following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/heads-sidesync-bt-wi-fi-bug-t2828911) I realized that there is a problem with SideSync. Even when not connected it sitll tries to communicate with the tablet and affects the wireless components. I removed Sidesync from my Note II and clear the data from SideSync on the tablet and for the past week I have not ahd any issue with Wifi or Bluetooth.
Thanks. Side Sync Sux.
Brilliant. Thanks. I was having a big problem with 2.4ghz wifi. I though there must have been some interference. 5g was fine. Tried chaining channel and all sorts. Would have thought it was my router but I have two with same prob just on 2.4ghz. It was happening to my phone and tablet, but then noticed only when the table was connected to wifi. Just disabled Side Sync and now the wifi is blazing.
On my Tab S 10.5 Wifi Only Model (T800), I am having some very very strange wifi issues....
It will randomly not access the internet (the wifi signal is still strong with the arrows pointing both ways but nothing will happen) No web sites will access eventhough more other devices can access everything just fine.... (Oneplus One, Laptop)
I have a DDWRT router and everything is set normally.... does anyone have any ideas?
Note: If i reset the tablet, the internet will work again... very very strange

Sounds like your router doesn't like your tablet very much
If you are sure it's connected you can always try to ping google.com from that device and see if the packets go through.
Could it be possible that, at the time of using and having 'no internet' with a steady connection, you are standing in a wifi blind-spot or something?
If not, it's probably just a hickup in your wifi connection, but this could be soooo many things....
yeah its really hard to troubleshoot.
I tried uninstalling updates from that stupid Samsung Sidesync app and so far its seems to have fixed the problem.... though I don't have Bluetooth on at all.
I'm having same issues , I read somewhere its a KitKat bug

i reset the tab and it seems better now
I have tried google searching this, searching through the forums and can't find anything really, I found 1 google search and it wasn't helpful. My issue is when I turn on my wifi hotspot using the stock fire phone OS it will not work. So first when the computer/tablet tries to connect it take around a minute to just connect to the hotspot, while doing this windows states it is taking longer than usual. Then once it does connect I only have limited connectivity. Now funny thing is when I use CM11 rom the hotspot works fine, but there things about it I don't like so I'm sticking with Fire OS for now.
I have tried on a desktop pc, laptop, tablet and a intel nuc, I have tried on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, both same issue, I can browse the web fine on the phone itself, but never a hotspot. My apn settings all appear to be correct and I'm using straight talk through Tmobile. I even had the phone replaced, same problem. Anyone else have similar issues?
