Asus Transformer TF-101 / wifi

[ziad.noman]

Hello to everyone,
I just brought a Asus Transformer TF-101.
on the first day it worked perfectly, but then it had an upgrade to Android 3.2.1 and since then it would not connect to my router.. it just says scanning and obtaining IP address. wifi version : v5.2.65. build num htk75.ww.....8.6.5.21....20111216
My other devices are working on the same router. and i did restart router couple of time and did factory setting og my TF. but no luck
Could anyone kindly help me resolve this problem.
p.s. I am new at this technology

If you have mac adres filters active in your router you should check if your transformer still has the same mac adres after the update and if it's still corresponding with the one in your router.

Hello ziad.noman, welcome to the forum. I'm moving your thread to the Asus Tablets section for you. Someone there should be able to help you out.

I hate to ask this, but are you sure you have your WiFi password entered properly? It will not error out if you enter incorrectly, it will just say Obtaining IP address. Also, are you using WEP or WPA encryption? Some users have had issues with WEP and the handshakes not working correctly.

It may be worthwhile trying to remove the connection (long press on the WiFi network and select "Forget") and then add it again.

Mac address is not same.

i did remove and reconnected but outcome is same. I have wpa/wpa2. But how can i change it.

I suggest you download wifi analyzer, which will give you detailed infomation on your wifi connections. Keep in mind that passwords are case sensitive and must be exact matches. The security type must also be an exact match also make sur you are using the correct key.

Mac address is not same.

I have the same problem with my second (cheap chinese ) tablet, each time i install the firmware the tablet had another mac adress.
(i can't explain why, always assumed mac adres was hardware related)

And i also have to set the time and date before it will connect to one of my routers.


Anyway the solution is to adjust your mac adres table in your router and you should be fine.
