P1010 Wifi Issues, am I the only one? how to fix it? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello ,
I just got a P1010 , and while I like it the WIfi seems to have a lot of trouble, I can connect ok, but sometimes it just disconnects and then goes back like it was far way from my router and Im not!
so I want to ask is there a fix for this? or my tablet is faulty? I read in teh internet that this tablet has a lot of issues with the WIfi connection
halp?
thanks

Wi-Fi Disconnected~

Running CM3.6.5 and cannot get the wifi to work. When I turn it on after a few seconds it says "Disconnected" right underneath it.
On the wifi networks I try to connect to my home router but it doesn't do anything. the signal strength:excellent securitypen, i hit the connect button but nothing.
I've turned off and on the wifi with no luck. Been searching for help but can't find any. If this has happened to you and you've fixed it let me know how i can do this.
Thanks!~
Have you only had this problem on one network? At work, every few days I loose my connection to our Linksys. A coworker's iPhone also fails to connect, but another coworker's Dell laptop can connect fine. Watching logcat I can see it attempting to connect, then spitting out an authentication failure error.
Restarting the Linksys seems to solve the problem. Not sure what is special about the two phones that makes everything crap out.
the only wifi network i use is my home one right now. haven't thought about restarting it. gonna do it and hopefully that will be the fix i've overlooked ><
/slaps his forehead.....
restarted my router and that fixed the problem. for some reason i've never had to do this but now i know.
thanks for the post! wifi working now.
Glad that helped. I'm still a little stumped about why it's doing this, but it sounds like we have the same issue. Restarting the router is easy enough though.
Now at home, I have a Linksys running Tomato firmware, and it never boots either of the two G1s we have. So it's just the stock router firmware for me, and it only affects G1s and iPhones (or at least, it affects them and not a laptop with Intel wireless).
i am having the same issue. does anybody knows if its a rom problem? I am running cyanogen 4.3.1. in college, where my laptop can connect fine, the g1 can not, and has a very low signal level while laptop shows excellent.

Dear all,
is this the section of posting wifi problems,... because first there's nothing problems when i connected the wifi, then suddenly at the next hour when i tried to connect the wifi (my phone is G1 with latest room rooted) it auto disable after 2 minutes. when I change the setting for autodisable there's nothing change and it can't scan for a networks at all,...
Everything was fine,... tethering, bluetooth, etc... only the wifi can't connect to anywhere....
Latest things i do was installed the google maps
thanks for your help - Rickim
