Hiya everybody, I am very very new to all this type of thing as at the age of 64 I have decided to come out of my mushroom cave and enter the computer age. Yes, believe it or not - I have been avoiding it but I have taken the bit between my teeth and plunged right in. I purchased a Telefunken Tel7J yesterday except the setting up of the internet connection. Everything seems perfect inc luding the W-Fi settin gs and connection to BigPond using my SSID & WPA - shows the signal stength to be perfect, connects and then disconnects ... where I have gone wrong (besides taking this giant leap into a new world). I would be most grateful for any help at all.

Hi Juris, welcome to the forum and congratulations on that new tablet as well as the courage it took to get it.
Those Telefunken tablets seem to be getting very popular in Australia. Several of the new members from there have them. I'm moving your post to the Android Tablet Q&A section of the forum where someone should be able to help you with your WiFi problem. Good luck!

Hi There,
I also have a telefunken tablet.
My Wifi connection was also disconnecting. I rebooted and it is fine.
I turn off wifi when not on the internet to save the battery.
I also downloaded the kindle app ,and can access kindle books.Only takes a few minutes to download.
I like this little tablet.I am having a lot of fun.
It does everything I want it to do

The Wi-Fi on mine seems to work fine mostly. I did get a couple dropouts at first but once I set up a static IP address for it it seems to have stopped.
Doubt the OP will read this. I'm a bit late. But I'll post it here just in case he comes back or for others who may be having a problem.
Note: The IP addresses I'm giving you for this are just suggestions. I don't know how your network is set up so these may not work if the defaults are changed. If you changed the IP address range in your router, then you'd have to change the numbers I'm giving you based on that. These are just using the defaults that most routers use.
Go to the Wireless Settings page. Hit the Menu button and click "advanced", should take you to a new page with more options. Click "Use static IP" so it's got the green check mark then click IP Address. Enter an IP address you want to use, try around 192.168.1.100 so there's less chance of a conflict. Click "Gateway" and enter the IP of your router 192.168.1.1 (again, assuming you haven't changed it). Net mask would most likely be 255.255.255.0 And you should be able to get your DNS 1 and 2 from one of your router's configuration pages or if you can't find it there your ISP's website would probably tell you.
You should also change your router so that the IP address you use for the droid will be reserved by the router. Can't really tell you how to do that as I don't know what router you have.
Also note that I'm unsure if this will make it stop disconnecting. I've only had mine a few days. So far it seems to have worked though, no disconnect yet since I've done this. However, it won't hurt to do it anyway so its worth a try. If it does mess up your connection (like if you used the numbers I gave you and the defaults were changed) you can always go back to that page and uncheck the "Use static IP" setting and delete the other stuff.
Hope this helps someone.
