    It could be worth checking your encryption - but if you're connected then encryption is probably OK.

    The problem I had, which sounds like yours, is that the Xoom seems not to be fully compatible with DHCP on some routers. If this is the case for you then you should set it up with static IP information instead. If your routet supports it, this is best done by setting a static reservation on the router and using that address as your static IP, together with the required additional info.

    I found (and you can try it) that the laptop would respond to 'pings' from other devices on the network and could connect to them but wouldn't access the Internet at all, even without requiring DNS - this implies that the XOOM DHCP client isn't picking up the gateway info from the DHCP server.

    I found this problem can be caused by a DHCP failure between the Xoom and the wireless router. There is a step by step guide to configuring a static IP here:
