wifi

I've posted my frustrations with the Wifi in the past and my car even had it's "connectivity board" replaced to "fix" the problem. After the fix, it connected so I pretty much forgot about Wifi issues and moved on. Since I know new updates are coming, I thought I'd check in on my Wifi. When I...

Hi ppl, I just found a solution to the lack of WiFi coverage in my garage: I took out an old cell phone from my "discarded" drawer, put a data SIM in it and I'm going to use it as a mobile hot-spot inside the car. So I gave it a try today, connect the old phone via USB cable in the car...

Hello, I have had my Model 3 for about 1 month. I was having WiFi issues in general in my home and Spectrum installed a new router and modem. I did (just in case) add a WiFi extender in my garage. My car sees the correct WiFi with "full rainbow" service (with or without the extender)...

The browser in Tesla is really slow, and typing is awkward. I am wondering if the car can act a wifi hotspot for my smartphone so that I can browse while I am charging without using up my phone's data plan. I thought I saw someone saying it was planned feature a few years ago but can't find...

I've experimented with a few ways to reduce phantom drain, which was an issue when I first got my car in June (I don't have charging at home). Generally, since the 2018.24 version of software (i'm on 2018.28 now), the drain has declined to <1% (1-3 miles) overnight. However, I've discovered...

Is anyone been able to connect Tesla Model 3 to your home WiFi with the latest update. After multiple tries I have given up and want to hear from you guys before I call tesla service guys. I just got my car back from service for some brake fixes. I have tried my main network and guest network...

For a Canadian delivery, March 2018 build, new MCU, 2018.18 software, I find that if the car has been left idle for a while (over an hour say), on return to the car, it is not possible to load any sites in the web browser. Pick a favourite, type in A URL, the browser does nothing. The other...

Hi All, I’m aware there have been other threads about not receiving updates, but most have been linked to failed downloads, no WiFi, etc. I purchased my new Model S 75D this December 2017. Since then I’ve only received one update In January that initially failed and had to be done at the...

Woke up Sunday and did not have LTE/3G or wifi internet access. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

As I anxiously await the 2018.10.4 firmware update from the mothership, I thought I would try (first time) a little snooping of the 802.11g wireless traffic between my Model S and home AP/router (Motorola SBG6850). However, after monitoring for several hours, I noticed only a small amount of...

I have not received any new firmware updates for 2 months now; sent an email to Tesla Customer Service - no response. Trying to find any issues with my WIFI network as i hear the 2018.6.1 update is bigger than 600mb. I am only getting 3.2 Mbps through the car. Connected to the same network from...

In the case anyone else runs in to this issue I have been having trouble connecting both of my Teslas to my home WiFi. I tried a clean Guest network to avoid the known DLNA issue and still it had problems. It turns out what was causing the issue was that I have a VPN set up in my router using...

I know this makes no sense but after a lot of trouble shooting I have found the following. My model X is connected to my home wifi on the 2 ghz band on my router. I have an android cell phone and an android pad both with slightly different versions of the android OS. They will both connect to...

When I park the MX in my garage, it gets around 300-400 Kbps from the 4G. I tried connecting to my home WiFi but it only gets slightly better speeds 400-500Kbps. I've read that when you get the "Software Update Available" notification, the car has already finished downloading the update. Does...

Hello, i have my MS since 2 years now and 100000km. Since 2 months i have a problem with my MCU... here is the list of the problem. - the subwoofer is off - Dolby surround disappear - Bluetooth don't start - 3G don't start - WIFI don't start before this 2 updates failed. I don't know if it's a...

I've not gotten my update fix in nearly two months. Not since 17.17.4. I can't take it much longer. Where's my silky smooth? I'm tired of being jerked around on the highway and have my mediocre parking skills challenged every time I back in to a parking spot. And the latest and greatest is...

I've encountered what appears to be a bug in firmware versions 17.11.3 and up. When attaching to certain WiFi networks, the wireless NIC appears to crash resulting in it going into an "Initializing" state. It happens usually within about 10 seconds of connecting to a network. Best guess is that...

Phones have WiFi and Bluetooth. Teslas have WiFi and Bluetooth. Why should smartphones need to go thru the internet (which isn't always available) just to allow keyless entry and driving? Wouldn't it be convenient if your phone or watch virtually replaced the key fob? One less thing to carry.

Curious to see other folks current experience in regards to software updates. I took delivery of a Model X about 2.5 weeks ago. In that time, I saw Elon's tweets that the entire X fleet was to receive the shadow mode update early in the week. As I have not ever done a software update, not sure...

I've written before about this and tried to read whatever I could find. It is driving me nuts that the MX (maybe S too) will not reliably connect to my network in the garage. I've been fighting this since August 2016 delivery and firmware changes through the latest with the ModelXmas egg...

I recently purchased a Model S and found that it wouldn't connect to my home network. The Model S would recognize the broadcasted SSID's of my access points (Unifi AP-AC-LR & AP), but the Model S wouldn't actually connect to any of them. The Model S would attempt to connect (tried multiple...

I have no problem getting TuneIn to stream when the car is on the road and connected via LTE. However, whenever the car connects to a WiFi source (Home or Office), TuneIn refuses to stream anything at all. (However, Spotify still works in either case) Anyone else seen this?

In addition to my Homelink/Genie/Tesla difficulties when I brought the baby home I could not get the WiFi setup to work. I've got loads of experience with this networking stuff and finding other people's difficulties but have not yet solved my own. I have searched the forums and tried some...

When I get my Model S do I give the car access to my WiFi for updates etc or does it just do its thing using the LTE connection?

Not sure what the expected behavior should be for going from Wifi to 3G... I connected my Rental S85 to my home Wifi. When leaving my home, naturally the Wifi connection was lost however the 3G connection did not immediately re-establish and reported as "No Service" for approximately 5...

Recently, my car has started constantly asking me to connect to a wifi network. However, the wifi icon shows a connection, and when I hit the blue "connect now" button it shows all the visible networks and has my home network with a green check mark, which strongly implies that it's connected...

I just want to see if anyone else had this problem. For the last week or two, every morning when I went out to wake up the car, it asked me to add a wifi connection, like I don't have one. But I do and, in fact, it was already connected to my home network as you can see in the photo attached...

Sig #127 S000127 V5.8 21" (Clifford) I've lost all 3G and wifi. This occurred, or was noticed right after a tire reset, for now I don't know if the two events are connected in any way. I will have the car serviced in December to look at the issue and it is completely drivable without 3G...

My MS refuses to remember my home wifi network. I have to manually reconnect it or else it just stays on 3G. Anyone else have issues with their cars not remembering and connecting to past wifi networks?

Would love to know...

This might be an interesting experiment - plug in a USB wifi adapter, then reset the dash computer? You could compare a network speed web site response before and after? I ask because some linuxes come with all the autodetecting drivers built-in, and it might just work off the rack... you'd...
