Help Please! :) Wifi problem

[born2resist]

Hi,
Firstly, please excuse my ignorance - have only got basic/intermediate knowledge of all things computer related!

Just got my ASUS Transformer tablet and am having difficulties with connecting to my router (Gigaset SE587). My ASUS laptop connects perfectly wirelessly, but the tablet does not pick up the router on scan and when I enter it manually it remembers it but constantly says 'Not in range'.
I am able to connect to a local open wifi but the signal is poor and constantly drops out, so this will not be acceptable. I have tried unhiding the router (tablet still doesn't pick it up) changing the channel and making sure the firmware is up to date, I have rebooted router but still no luck. I also tried turning the laptop into a hotspot but the tablet doesn't pick it up.
As I mentioned, my asus laptop connects to the wifi perfectly so the signal shouldnt be an issue, my question is: is there anything else I can try to get the tablet connecting to the router, in terms of changing settings on the router etc...?
Really appreciate any help you can give me as I really want to start using this tablet!!
Thanks

Sounds like you may have an issue. Have you tried to go into wifi settings and check the scanning there to see what is available. You can press on available connections to see strength etc. If this is not showing correctly would suggest trying a factory restore - its possilbe the rom didn't update correctly (happens more than you think) - then if still an issue would consider returning as I would think you have an issue.

Hi Thank you for the help. This is so typical! Have been trying to work this out for a whole day and as soon as I post asking for help it gets resolved lol! I went through ALL the channels again on the router and then BANG it connected.
