WIFI loses connection without reason.

[andrewhill2]

Just bought a Xperia tablet Z and am having problems with remaining connected to my WIFI. Initial connection is good and shows good signal strength and works as normal. Periodically the WIFI then disconnects and shows "authentication problem" against the network and needs a manual connect to regain the connection. I dont have to re-type the access key.

I have many other devices connected to the WIFI during this period all of which work fine. WIFI analysis shows good signal strength and acceptable signal to noise ratio. Looks like a bug in the firmware to me. Any assistance would be good.

Andrew, do you have Bluetooth turned on and something hooked up to it?

I have similar problems when I have a mouse or a keyboard paired.

Please let me know, I started a topic about this but so far nobody replied,  so I am on the hunt for other Z users who can try this out and give some feedback.

Hi, I can confirm that Bluetooth is disabled.

Thanks Andrew.

Unfortunately then I can not help.

My tablet works just fine on my WiFi network and I have also lots of other devices running.

good luck in tracking it down.

This looks like all the basic checks which have already been completed. Like I said other wireless devices work ok during the Xperia blackouts. Its most definatley a fault with the tablet and is becoming increasingly frustrating.

Hello,

Are there also other Z owners who don't have any problem with their Wifi connection ?

Thanks

well since that other thread had more to offer in terms of information and trying things. To update you guys i have sent back my original and received a new replacement. It does the same thing.

Just like user "Soony" said it probably would.  Its obvious they are watching as they locked that other thread. I am disappointed that though they are watching they are not saying anything.

!!! THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING SONY!!!
