Internet Connection Problems

[Osmondf]

I have a Linksys router and Comtrend CT-301 DSL. Transformer Prime connects to the router no problem but will not connect to the Internet through the DSL. My laptop is wireless and works fine. The tablet works ok in public hotspots. Any ideas anyone?

Welcome to the forum Osmond

That's often a symptom of a configuration issue on the router, no DHCP for the client or not picking up the DNS information properly. You may want to long press the connection and go to the advanced settings to change the information to settings that are similar to what you are using on your PC. In other words, use a fixed IP and DNS information. I have other WiFi connection tips in a link below. Sometimes it's as simple as powering the router down for 30 seconds then power it back up again.

I'm in a home that has a wireless router and there is currently another Asus connected to the internet along with a laptop. however, when i try to connect my tablet to it, it just tells me it is saved and can't connect to the internet. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you can, you should reset the router, most have a reset hole or just unplug it for about 30 seconds.

Tell your TF to forget the saved connection then try and connect again.

thanks.. will that screw up the connections with the other devices, though? the laptop had no problem connecting.

still no luck... it recognizes the wireless is available, saves it and nothing. i click to open it, tap forget then i get 'protected network available.' i tap it and get 'saved' again. I click to open it and try 'connect' again to no avail.
