Red X over Wireless Bars, Other Issues

I have a few issues with a brand new Asus Transformer T100 running Windows 8.1.

1) I don't know what this Red X means.

2) My T100 won't automatically connect. I have it checked to join the network automatically, which leads to another issue. When it doesn't automatically connect, I have to re-enter the Network Password, and often more times than not I get error messages saying the Password is wrong when it isn't. Also sometimes clicking on my Wireless Network to connect, I get a message stating that some settings was changed since the last time (or something to that affect).

I'm not sure if the issues are related or not. The 2nd one is annoying to say the least since my settings are sticking. I have 8 other devices on the network, 2 are Windows 8.1 (Surface Pro and Lenovo P400) and they don't have issues.

Limited Connection usually. What is the router that you are using?

It's a Netgear 7550... specifically from my ISP provider. I find it a bit odd that Network Connections and the WiFI icon on the system tray says I have full connection.

It will do that in certain situations. Have you tried updating the driver to the one that Asus offers. I have found that Microsoft/Windows Update is installing some wonky drivers for 8.x. of late. Installing either the chipset manufacturer driver or OEM driver, usually fixes things.

Also try doing the following in a Command Window as administrator (without the quotes): "ipfconfig /flushdns", "netsh winsock reset catalog". You can also try "netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt". Then reboot the computer.

Let me guess. ATT U-Verse for your provider, or someone else? A lot of people have been complaining about issues with that unit, for over three years now. I ended up switching from ATT to Comcast. All because ATT's engineer's solution to their problem with their network, was to place another router behind the 2-wire/Pace 3800hgv-b Gateway.

I just said goodbye and let my wallet do the talking. Now no more issues, due to I am using my own equipment. I got the same issue that you are having with the 3800. I ended up just placing an Access Point for Wireless-N, and used the wireless-b/g onboard for some gear that I had that needed that. I had so many issues with the gateway causing that equipment that was using its wireless-b/g radio to lose com's with the gateway, I finally said enough was enough.

Usually just reinstalling the driver can fix this problem or try updating the wireless credentials via the link below.
