Wifi network showing "Saved" but won't connect

Ona Lenovo Tab 11 Plus. After one of Virgin's numerous recent internet issues this tablet is unable to connect to the home WIFI. All other mobiles and tech connect as normal. I haven't had to do anything, as usual, when the internet came back on all devices reconnected as normal except this one. I've restarted the Hub, reset the network on the tablet, turned on turned off the tablet etc etc.. but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ok fixed it. I changed the privacy option from "Use randomised MAC (default)" to "Use device MAC". Thanks your help nonetheless

Is it that the tablet can not see the VM WiFi network ?

Or does it try to connect and then display some kind of error message ?

It finds it, accepts the password but then just shows saved and that's it. No connection nothing.


It reads like the effects of WiFi Pausing via the VM Connect app.

  • Ok. So you suggest I should download the app and do something?

So a change the MAC and it started to work.

Now I am convinced WiFi Pausing was at the root of your problems.

Interested to know how so it doesn't happen again...I downloaded the virgin connect app and there was nothing paused. The tablet wasn't even in the list of devices. Weird.
