WIFI Dropping

Has anyone had an issue with their S7 constantly connecting/disconnecting from their WIFI?
I am using a Linksys E3000 and WPA/WPA2/PSK.
This happens most when downloading larger (800MB+) files.

Well I moved from CH8 to 11 and everything is fine. CH8 when looking through Channelyzer was the least congested with 1 and 11 being the next best choices (US channels though 14 is clear if I hack everything to use the high Euro ones).
Did a few large downloads and had no issue with my WIFI.
I will test with all channels this week and post here if the issue comes back.

I'm also using an e3000 but haven't had any issues. Wish it had n though.

wifi signal strength

Hi,
I was lucky enough to get my Nexus 7 today as I bought mine from Ebuyer. I've been playing with it for a couple of hours now and have noticed that I get really weak signal strength using my home WiFi. The internet is working a lot faster on my phone (ics) and on my laptop. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a jelly bean issue?
Thanks for any help

My WiFi strength has been very good so far. Have you updated to 4.1.1? I don't know if it affects WiFi, but I updated right away and its been good since

So what was the final result? Did your wifi strength got better?

So far mine seems pretty good.

I updated a few hours ago before I posted. The signal is usable for browsing but YouTube takes ages to load there have been times when i've got no signal at all while my phone can load YouTube videos up fine. I pretty much always have 1 bar of signal,I know that's not the mist accurate indicator, but there's definitely a difference in performance between the nexus and my one x. Maybe i have a dud?

Rumours went around earlier that those models shipped earlier than google play, might have issues with wi-fi or screen problems, but don't take my word for it, it was just a post I saw on this thread.

Have you checked, settings, then wifi, then menu select advanced, then select "best wifi performance". It bumps up the wattage to the WIFI antenna. Its mentions at least on my HTC EVO 4G LTE that it may consume more battery. Hope it helps.

I'm sitting about 20 feet from my router in the same room and I have full bars. I did a bandwidth test and got...
Test Date: Jul 14, 2012 12:53:25 am
Connection Type: Wifi
Server: Vernon Hills, IL
Download: 17073 kbps
Upload: 3080 kbps
Ping: 23 ms
So I guess it's okay here. I'm on 4.1.1

Just walked around the house, no problems. I did lose signal in the driveway though.

Yeah I'm having issues with WiFi also, same problem with YouTube being really slow. Also my WiFi cuts out and I have to turn it off and back on again

Install WiFi analyser from the play store and see what the WiFi signal strength on your router channel is like, also shows other routers near you which may be interfering with yours.

I hope its good my A500 was rather weak.

No issues with wifi so far. However i don't think the chip supports 5 GHz networks as i can only pick up the 2.4 GHz networks.

Mine does fine with wifi

Hmmm... wifi strength... Yes, hmm, indeed... let me say this...
OMFG it's GREAT!!!
Compared to my Razr Maxx and my Acer Iconia A500, it's amazing. I'm seeing neighbors wifi that I never knew existed. ZERO problems not only anywhere in my house, but anywhere on my property. Probably the best wifi reception I've seen on a mobile device.

anyone also have a prime? if so, how does the 7s range compare?

I have a Acer a500 tablet and let me say the Nexus 7 gets 2x the Wifi strength of that POS. I love the range I am getting its very similar to my Galaxy Nexus.

Who does NOT have any problems with the N7

I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 7, but I'm seeing tons of people posting with all kinds of screen problems. I'm wondering, is everyone having issues, or is it just the people who are having issues that are posting? So if you have a Nexus 7 and it is working great, I would love to hear from you.

No problems what so ever, ordered 27 June, got it yesterday and I've been through two full battery charges and rooted and its still running like a champ. Don't hesitate!

Mines great! It's probably just a 'nexus' of complaints here! Where else would you talk about it, that's making it look worse than it is perhaps.
Only problem I had was that it turned up TOTALLY empty of charge and needed a few minutes to get past 0%. Once done, it's been working great.
No flicker
No squeaky sides
No raised glass
It works and works great.
Non-rooted(so far), standard rom. Nothing out of the usual.

I dont! absolutely love the device!

Mine is perfect. No screen issues and device came new in flawless condition.

Works beautifully for me. Problem free!

My only problem is that I can't put it down and my ipad has started getting dusty since I got my N7 on Tuesday!

As per any new device, there are bound to be ones that make it thru production with a problem or two. Apparently screen issues have been what's the most prominent.

Works amazing for , dont hesitate.

No problems at all. My device is flawless. Great build quality on it.
Might be better if you create a poll then you will truly see most don't suffer from reported issues. It could be as simole as do you have any major hardware issues vs. Those who dont. Or are you satisfied with your nexus 7 vs. Those who arwnt. If you do, change thread title also. The complaints will always be voiced more over those who satisfied with their devices.
I'd easily recommend anyone to buy one of these ASAP.

No problems at all with mine.I am very happy with mine.Fast,looks good
And no issues with anything I have tried to do with it.

Everything is flawless here too. Highly recommended. The UI smoothness has me sold.

16gb version with no problems no dead pixels either I checked
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I've got 3 dead pixels at the very bottom trim of the screen which are only barely noticable when watching a movie with weird borders.
Not returning it because of that, still very happy.

Mine came form google play perfect expect screen Flickr which I think is a driver issue.
Some people reporting getting replacements with the same exact issue.

Wow look at my speed!

I purchased this phone yesterday because I got tired of my galaxy nexus ugly screen. This morning I did a speed test and this is the fastest phone I have ever seen with att!
What do you guys think? I am on the out skirt of atlanta ga. I am amazed!
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

I don't have lte in my area, I have 4g. But I did get around 5Mbps here, and on my gs3 the best I got was 3.5Mbps.
So yes, this phone has a superior radio/antenna.

For lol I hope?

Interesting, mine is slower, about 3 times. Im on 4.1.2 now, not rooted. FB, Fliboard crashes all time. Screen is minimum and flickers again, battery cannot go over 4 hours. Internet speed, well cannot compare it with SGS3, meaning slower. In one word, very disapointed with this device. :banghead:
