Galaxy tab 2 messes up internet

Verify that your router has a good internet connection and that its local IP service (usually through DHCP) is running. Try entering the router's TCP/IP address (e. g., http://169.168.1.1) in your browser's address bar to see if you can get the router's status page.

One of the more common failures in older routers is IP service dropout, particularly if the router overheats because something was stacked on top of it. This will result in client error messages such as the one you describe.

Another possibility is an authentication failure, but that would generally mean somebody messed with the wireless network access password, or there's a bug in the wireless coding (as in some ASUS laptops - this was fixed in a firmware update).

If you have a combination modem/wireless router you should be able to connect your tablet to the internet. If not, you will need to either buy a wireless router that connects to your modem to broadcast the wireless signal or contact your service provider and get the combination modem/wireless router.

Hi,
to get access to the wifi network, you need to do the following things:-
1. go to settings
2. open wifi option
3. turn on wifi
4. select the wifi network you want to connect.
5.it will ask for the password, insert the password and enjoy.
Hope you get your problem solved. Thanks

Make sure the wifi/3g is turned on and connected to a network with internet access. You might need to refresh your router and modem as my Galaxy Tab sometimes gets messed up if I log on to another wifi network away from home. i.e. McDonalds/Pizza Hut etc. I may be connected to my wifi, but my tablet doesn't have a correct IP address if it has one at all. The internet speed can be a factor as games don't use a much bandwidth as apps like Google and Facebook.

Ensure you have turned on wifi on your tablet, (I assume the router is working already). Then go straight to your internet browser and open your preferred search engine, you should be automatically directed to the routers set up page. You will need passwords to access your router settings.

Hi Dolores,
You may want to try restarting your devices starting to modem ( unplug re-plug power cable for 2 minutes) then your tablet. After that try to re-connect to your wifi make sure you are not at least more than 300 ft away from modem though your tablet has a good wifi connection system already ( you should not getting this issue ). Hope it helps.

1. With the Samsung Galaxy TAB turned off, press and hold the VOLUME Down button, and then briefly press the POWER button.

Note: If you see "Downloading" on the screen with an Android shoveling you pressed the wrong Volume key. Remove and reinsert the battery and try again.



It should hard reset any of these tablets:
Reset GT-P6210 Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 WIFI

Reset GT-P7300 Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI + 3G

Some Galaxy Tab devices have crosstalk between wifi and bluetooth that causes signal interference.

Try turning off Bluetooth.

hi,
how to unlock samsung galaxy tab after too many attempts pattern i dont have wifi connection also,

Does the WiFi router have SSID? Did it ever connect to other WiFi Access Point before? If not some say to set the Tab on Static IP and configure the router to allow the Tab's MAC address. Hope it helps.
