Samsung Tab 3
20 Answers
My tablet has stopped picking up WiFi. Have been through all the settings and all is correct. Tried it on other people's WiFi and no joy. Obviously something faulty with the Tab.
A new one will cost around £180.00
Anyone know if it is a easy (cost effective) fix, or... bin it and buy a new one?

Might I suggest a visit to the Samsung support site - there may be a repair or reload operating system function. In my experience there is more chance of damaging your tablet if you try and replace the wireless card - maybe a plug in dongle might be the answer if it has the right sockets or you can use an adaptior.

Yes to both VHG. Initially the problem was a week link speed. One minute it would be 72Mbps, next it would be 5Mbps. Now it just says 'out of range' and doesn't even display available networks. I'm in no doubt that the Tablet is faulty, just curious as to whether or not the cost of repair is worthwhile.

Thank you ukbod!
I had a on-line chat with a technician at Samsung. After trying a couple of things and doing a complete/comprehensive re-boot without success, he asked for the serial number.... Well, it turns out that I haven't had this tablet for as long as I thought I have - two months left on the warranty!
Even though I don't have the receipt/proof of purchase - as I bought it off Ebay "brand new unwanted gift" - serial number confirms it's age and Samsung will repair or replace it and pay for all postage!
Total result!
