Tablet Wifi.. Any help ??

[Danny DeVito]

My daughter has a Gemini 7020 simple tablet. Quite often it disconnects from wifi. After this i have to re enter pass phrase and it tries to authenticate which often doesn't happen. WPS works a little better but not always. Signal goes from full to poor througout connection even though i am beside router. Any help appreciated thanks

Is this the only device that behaves like this ? If yes ? Then that maybe the answer. You could try the usual suspects. Relocate the router. Change the router channel.

My son has the same one it seems to behave itself 90% of the time. I cant understand why it needs to re authenticate instead of just reconnecting

Have you tried deleting the cached profile and recreating it?

i use 'forget' connection. then re enter the number

What speed wireless does your tablet support compared to your router?

I'm wondering if there is a mismatch here.

Had same probs with my Hudl. Tesco insisted it was because Hudl has poor wifi(what a pile of bull). I insisted it was faulty and forced for a replacement
No probs with new Hudl
OP needs to try as last resort a hard reset -if not work then faulty

I have a Nexus 10 which is awesome. I bought my wife a tablet from Argos and it did not like the wifi signal in the house, the range was awful... So i bought a repeater.. it didn't help.

In the end I downloaded an app that "fixes wifi issues" and to my amazement it worked!

I think it was a free app but for the life of me I cannot recall the name, but in effect it deletes and replaces the device drivers on the tablet and resolves connection dropouts and range issues..

Just checked - FXR WIFI Fix & Rescue

Worked very well for us

I looked at spec and on manufacturers page it shows specs. one is b+g the other shows b+g+n . The router is set for all. While i was looking through router settings i saw an option to create more access points. I set a new one with more or less the same settings. The tablet connected straightaway now i just need to wait a bit and see how it goes. I find that the user has very little control over what the tablet does
