This item is not worth it. I bought it but the wifi and mobile network never worked.

Bought as a gift. She could never get it to work either. Results: bought a different brand. Never worked

It was not a good system for me. It was a waste of money. The entire tablet stopped working properly.

Couldn't get mine to work and did not want to buy an expensive one so I tried the micro cruz 301 so far no trouble. Had it about 2 years now.

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

I wasn't able to get the WiFi connection to work with this device. If you don't need the wireless function it should work just fine.

exact same problem here. strangely, changing the channel of the wifi (manually) fixes the problem. that is a workaround but i don't want to work around... any ideas?

have you tried resetting it? This happened to me and I pushed the reset button and it started working again. I cannot remember for sure where the reset button is exactly but I know it is in the instructions.

WIFI worked seamlessly for me. I did nothing and it was running. But it is in the same room as the router.

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

Right out of the box it comes with wifi disabled, at least mine did, you have to enable it first. go to system settings and on wifi click from off to on. other than that you may just need the password for your router.

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating.UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

Disable the built in adapter in your network settings and everything should work fine. I've used mine on half a dozen computers with built in wifi.

My WiFi had a code that I had to type in before it would connect. I use Verizion. Hopefully this helps.

I have absolutely NO problem with the WiFi. I have had NO problem with this machine at all since I got it . I was afraid to get it for the same reason.

Try uninstalling everything and reinstall. Also check your wireless connection and make sure there's a signal.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

Better not try. My device only worked once, now unable to work anymore, although my home WiFi is excellent.
