I have a Motorola XOOM with honeycomb 3.2. Wifi connects and work s well, but after the tablet is left alone for a while and it goes to sleep, the wifi stops working. It still says it is connected but no data flows. I have to manually disconnect and re connect it.

Help Wifi stops working after tablet sleeps

Hello, welcome to the forums!
Check to see if your wifi is set to go to sleep. Do this by opening your app drawer > Settings > Wireless Connections > Wifi Settings > Tap the settings button at the upper right of your screen > Wifi-sleep policy > then set it to never.
If that doesn't work, I'll move this thread to your device subsection to see if you can get a more device-specific response. Or you can look for yourself here: Motorola XOOM - Android Forums

Sorry, doing that didn't make any difference.
(I started a new thread, then realised I should have come back to this one, sorry. I tried to clarify what is happening - here's the text from that other post)
To be clear, this is NOT a Wifi stability problem. When the tablet screen is on, it works perfectly all day.
I have it set to never disconnect, but even so, when the screen turns off for a while, and I wake it up again, the wifi has stopped communicating - despite the operating system still showing it still has a good connection, data just will not flow until I manually turn Wifi off on the tablet, then back on again.
This is on a Motorola Xoom 32GB Wifi only model, running Honeycomb 3.2.

How do you figure that? After all, that's how I have it set, and it is NOT going to sleep. Android thinks it is on. However, some software process is dieing or breaking internally and no data flows over the Wifi. Even apps that check the Wifi, think it is turned on, and try to use it - with no success.

I have been having this problem as well.
I can sometimes go a few days with it not disconnecting and then all of the sudden it will show connected but it won't work.
