the wifi is having a problem,the connection between the wireless modem and the network is being lost when there is drain on the wireless modem,buy a new network cord(they do go bad)plug it into your wireless and to the modem,if that doesnt work,then either your wireless is old and dying or you need a new powr adapter for it
Probably location from Wifi router. I know some of the areas of my older home don't receive a good signal. Check your wifi bars and see if this is a problem due to only one green bar showing as a connection. Rich
Firstly Check if your WIFI router is working by accessing the WIFI connection from another computer, tablet or phone.
If it does, then use the same WiFi connection settings that it has on your ARCHOS.
You could also try connecting your ARCHOS to a friend's WiFi network and if this works, change your access point parameters to similar ones.
OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OPTIONS:
1. Check your WiFi router/modem documentation to see if it has a pairing button that needs to be pressed. Some modems have such a button that must be pressed the very first time you try to make a WiFi connection with a new device.
2. If you have to enter a password (a security code of type WEP or WPA) be very careful that you do not confuse a 1 and I (one and letter "I"), a 0 and O (zero and letter "O"), or U and V. These are common mistakes.
3. When entering a security code for your WiFi access, check the box "Show Password" which will allow you to see exactly what you are typing in. This will avoid any mistakes.
4. Some access points use what is known as MAC filtering. That means, the WiFi access point has a list of access numbers (every hardware device has a unique MAC number) which are the only ones allowed to access to the WiFi point. The person managing the WiFi modem/router should shut off this MAC filtering system to see if this solves the problem. It is recommended to shut off MAC filtering in general as this is now known to be an outdated and ineffective system for WiFi security. If you must use it, you can find your device's specific MAC address by going to Settings >Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced. It will look something like 00:16:dc:5e:9e:39.
5. Try temporarily shutting off the encryption system of your WiFi router/modem to see if the problem has to do with the encryption system you are using. The preferred encryption system is the WPA2.
If you have to do so for all your equipment, you have to look out for a new router. If only one phone or one tablet has this problem I think you already know what needs to be repaired or replaced.
You should reset the router. Just unplug the power for about one minute and then reinsert the plug. It will take again about one minute before the router comes back. but after that it should work again. Unplugging, will clear the memory from a lot of clutter, but the settings will be saved.
Eventually you can reset the tablet too. You have to make sure you did install the WiFi settings correct on your tablet.
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.
reset the router, disconnect the power cord by 45 seconds, and connect again. use small pencil erase with the point click the small switch for additional reset from router , and try again. If work is o.k If the problem persist you must sure that internet signal is o.k and the MODEm IS WORKING good, try to reset the MODEM using the disk coming with them. Otherwise you must to call the internet provider is there are some problem connection with the zone where you live. Must be sure that you have the right code for enter to the wifi God bless you
Please check your password and see the strength of the WI-Fi in your area. If this a wifi of your home wireless modem then check the modem and reset accordingly. switch off power for some time and restart. If not check your tablet on another wifi to confirm this or if the configuration has gone off from the settings. make sure that your password and the network is connected as seen on the lower taskbar .
This
is normal. To save energy, the ARCHOS always starts up with the WiFi
set to off. You must manually use the Fn-F3 keys if you want to
activate the WiFi connection.
I cannot connect to the Internet over WiFi, what's wrong?
Make sure that your WiFi is activated. This can be turned on and
off with the blue function key pressed down and then the F3 key. The
blue WiFi indicator just below the touch-pad will light indicating that
it has been turned on.
My WiFi router/modem is on and working, but it does not show up in the list of wireless networks. What's wrong?
It could be that the WiFi modem/router is hiding its SSID. This is
done for security purposes sometimes. You can either change this on the
WiFi modem/router (see its instructions) so that it broadcasts its SSID
(and then you'll see it in the list on your ARCHOS 10) or you can go
into the advanced settings of the Wireless Network Connection screen to
the Wireless Networks tab and 'add' a new connection. You will need to
know the SSID name and its other connection parameters.
