yep, put in my Key 1 10 HEX characters instead of my passphrase and presto! Connected. Thank you for posting this - good luck all.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

Here is a solution that works for some with the WiFi connect/disconnect issue. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi settings ->Wi-Fi disconnect policy and change the policy. Mine was originally on "Never (uses more battery power), I changed it to "When screen turns off" and have not had the issue since. I understand that it has something to do with the Android OS not Motorola hardware. Just like the issue with teh MicroSD slot, the reason is the Android OS, there are hacks out there but I will wait for Google to fix it.

Thanks very much, that worked for me (Linksys router and Xoom with Android 3.1). Mine is WPA but the problem was that I was using the password I made up, when the Android 3.1 OS wanted the security key (many characters).

Mine does not have a problem but here's what I'd try:1. disable AES/TKIP encryption on router to briefly test connection2. un-hide SSID if hidden to briefly test connection3. disable and re-enable wireless on xoom and try againIf your SSID is not being broadcasted you can try unhiding it the first time you connect your xoom to the wireless network then change it back to hidden.

I also feel that it took time to obtain the IP address from my wireless router when starting it back from the sleep mode. I applied the steps that D@rkFX, mentioned earlier, but seems it doesnt work for me.? Xoom is great otherwise.

The key words are "until it happens again". I don't think it should happen. I believe it is in Xoom and caused by the latest Andriod update to 3.2.1. My Xoom exhibits the same behavior regardless of what router I'm using; other tablets (iPad, eg) do not. C;mon Motorola - admit the problem and fix it. It's annoying!

I bought this for my wife. It went straight to wifi and seems to run fine. What kind of trouble are you having? I will help if I can

I ended up sending mine it. It absolutely would not connect to any wifi net. The support was fantastic, but it was returned for full refund at the company' s urging.

Yes. Wi-Fi IS a problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and could not get the Wi-Fi to connect. I continued to download drivers etc. It was frustrating but I eventually got around the problem. I wish I could elaborate but I set up the laptop months ago. Once you get it to work I haven't experienced any of the "spotty" problems. It connects on startup and doesn't lose it. If you're fine with the typical bloatwear that comes with a laptop I don't think you'll have a problem.

I've had no issues with it not connecting to wifi, downloading apps, or anything else so far. I did have an issue with my nook not reading the card but after contacting the seller, they sent me a new one and it has worked great. Try reaching out to the seller - he was fast to respond to my issue and quickly sent me a replacement. Good luck!

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.

Well, very good question. I mean it' kinda cute for a net book computer but the really why I say it sucks cuz when I got it. I was so exited but when I tryed to go online. That's where I think the problem got started. I tryed to go to Internet connections. Then put in the wifi passcode but I guess didn't work. So after so so many attempts. I gave up on it. Hope the review helped.

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

Our household has 7 People and the following devices: 4 apple laptops, 2 I-pads, 3 Intel/windows based NetBooks, 4 Intel based computers and a few I-phones and none of us have had issue's using this router. And the newer tablets are supposed to automatically connect using the 5GHZ band, which none of us have newer products that use this band....yet.Hope this helps.

I've actually had issues with this. I sometimes use it in my bedroom which is two rooms away from my router and it will have trouble connecting to WiFi. Both my laptop and my phone connect fine in my bedroom.

I use the ipazzport keyboard with it as well as the wifi to connect to the internet. The ipazzport doesnt go too far, must be within 18 feet. However the internet connectiin over wifi works pretty good. I can stream netflix to it and the router is in the basement (one floor down). Microwaves ovens and wireless phones can cause interference perhaps some tvs or other devices too. Try moving to another room also try shuting down all other electronics and appliances til you isolate the problematic device.

Have had mine since March and only WIFI problems have been with router from X-finite. My only word of advice is to get help from qualified HP support personnel. Many claim to have the technical capability but many do not.

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

Yes I had no issues whatsoever. The only thing wrong since I bought it was a problem the very first day it would not pick up wifi at all... It ended up being a Windows 8 issue. Evidently it needed an update, and for some reason it didn't do it automatically. Ever since I have had no issues. I thought I would have a problem with getting used to the new Wi does and touchscreen, I was honestly apprehensive. But I love it. Easy installation for all wireless devices as well. Hope this helps.

I have this problem on & off with our new 8600. Nothing else in the equation changes ... no moving the printer or computer or WiFi router, but every so often the printer decides it can't connect to the network. Then when I go back and re-setup the network connection it works again but this is ridiculous. I thought maybe it just doesn't receive a signal as strong as it likes but it's not too far from the router, and seeing others with this problem makes me think it's something else, like maybe the ipv6 issue mentioned above. I'm not sure how to disable that on my network though. I haven't tried calling customer support because they're never any help. Maybe someone on here will be though...?

No. My wifi gives me very steady connection. It could be a problem of your wireless router.

I have not experienced a wi-fi connectivity issue. We have 2 systems running on the same router. The first thing I would try is uninstall then reinstall your router, make certain someone in your neighborhood is not using your wi-fi connection (unbeknownst to you). Depending on how long you've had your current wi-fi router - perhaps an updated router could help. Talk to the folks who manufactured the router etc.
