even with an update to firmware 2 ,wifi connection will drop off after awhile. have try 2-3 times to reconnect-sometimes says not in range(2 feet from router). Much better after the upgrade but still problematic. Anyone else having this problem and ideas for solving problem. Was awful with out the upgrade almost impossible to connect at all. But no other tablets or phones having this issue.Thanks

I have received my onda v972 today and have the same problem with wifi disconnections. Lets hope its not a hardware problem. I am going to upgrade to version 2 and see if there is any improvement.

Ditto here.

I am at 1.32 and I have tried many recommendations with no success.

- Changing from WPA to WEP - no change

- Changing Mhz on which wifi router adversities - no change

At the moment I cannot even coax in online. Normally after 15 minutes of fiddling it connects; but not this time. Always out of range, even though it is < 1 foot away.

Just a thought - have you tried changing the wifi channel?

That is what I meant above by - Changing Mhz on which wifi router adversities – no change

So, after some looking around, it appears that freeing the physical antenna internally from its original location has had the best luck.

Does anyone know the type and size of wrench needed? It looks like a tiny hex or torx but my feeble eyes cannot see...

Thanks in advance,

Hi, can I get some info how to change the wifi channel? Having same problem , wifi too low at one metre from access point, have to literally sit in front of the wifi router for it to work.

Thanks,
