first port of call......Perform a hard reboot.

Press and hold the on/off button for twenty seconds then restart.

If that fails......dunno ! Maybe have to manually set up the connection to your wifi router again.

if you dont have any docs or pictures saved on the tablet you could try a factory reset.....same as a system restore on a laptop or desktop.

if deleting the update has corrupted the tablets file system that should restore it.

dont know if the tab2 has an sd card slot, the Samsung tab3 does, but if it has save all your files to sd card or even drop box.

it does have an sd card and as a last resort i might give that a go. been searching the net for a solution to no avail. but will give it another day or 2. i mainly use it for hobbies stuff, pics, and scrapbook so not the end of the world to trash it.

thanks again:thumb:

youre not alone, this is a big problem for others too

Go to the Wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings > LAN Settings and uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN

apparently

yep i can see that with others also.. p[rob is in the Andriod app theres no wrench or under the hood i can find, but will keep looking..:thumb:

many many years! since I was a kid
try another browser to confirm whether this is just a chrome issue

if it is, uninstall chrome and download again using another browser.

if not, then you may need to delete your connection history and reconnect to your network with correct settings
