I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that.The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change.The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

I had the same problem. Sent one back and got a replacement... Same problem. Also sent an email to the company about it and got no response. Also if you try and secure the network it doesn't work either. Still haven't been able to do it and I don't recommend anyone buying this product for those reasons.

It lost wifi on one occasion and hasn't since, a friend explained to me that if I restarted my router that could fix the problem. And since then I haven't had any issues. I've been using it at work and its been fine all day.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

My advice is to send it back, and get a refund, not an exchange. I sent the first one back because it wouldn't connect to the internet. They sent me another one and its not much better, it kicks in and out of the internet, will not stay connected. My personal opinion is that it is just all around defective and not worth the money. It would be better to buy a kindle, Samsung, or Apple ipad, that is much better quality then this tablet. They are not at all quality tablets and not worth the heartache or money. It has a very poor processing system.

I just came across this discussion. I just got this thing 2 months ago, and it was fine until a couple of weeks back when it started connecting only sporadically. I can still connect with a cable to the modem, but not wirelessly. When I check the hardware device manager I get an error Code 10 for the Atheros Network Card Adapter. I have been having trouble finding a driver to download, as I am hoping its a driver problem, but I think the card is bad. Very frustrating. I'm assuming they would just fix it and send it back, not send a new one, as I have a lot of things on here I don't want to lose. Is it a hassle sending it back? I just came across this discussion.

I would suggest you return them and buy from a different vendor, I've had mix results with MK808b's from different vendors. I currently own 3 MK808b's and they all connect to my wifi and maintain connection with no issues, I returned a couple that would connect and disconnect randomly, the wifi signal would go up and down. Good luck to you.

The item is actually at the Amazon warehouse (we have 3 there presently) and 2 at our warehouse, but there is an issue with the details page that Amazon displays that shows it having WiFi when it does not. We are actively working with them on fixing the issue.

I haven't had problems with wifi. You may want to see if you have the latest software for it.

I had the same problem. I had to change my modem to another modem (although nothing was wrong with my original modem) to get it to work but before i did i carried the android to a place with open wifi and tried it and it connected without a problem. I also carried it by a friend and it connected there without a problem. I did that to ensure the android was not the problem. For some reason it doesnt connect to certain modems (or if there is a way to get it to connect to those modems then i dont know how). Sorry i couldnt be of more help.

turning off wifi might help, but this seems similar to the issue I had (faulty battery). I bought a replacement and it's fine now.

****Update 3/18/2011*****Changed the settings as Tony suggested, and everything seems to be working fine now. Have not had to reset, and signal strength has improved. Will update again in the next few days. Thanks Tony!!******************************************************************************************************Nope, it's not just you. I have the same problems, and I'm going to try tony's config fixes to see if I can get mine to work any better.

I agree with Christian. The seller is great about customer service and treated me well - even though I also had a bad unit. They may even be able to help you with the connection issue with your device. Good luck!
