It appears that some users of the original Shield Tablet may be facing Wi-Fi problems after the version 4.0 update.

One of the customer care representatives to the NVIDIA company has updated the NVIDIA forums with some instructions, informing users on the way forward in case they their Wi-Fi can't connect after updating their tablet.The tablet should rebooted 2 to 3 times. If this doesn't work then try power cycling the tablet between 3 and 4 times, do not reboot but rather turn it off completely. If these methods fail, then charge up the tablet to 100% and try again a number of times.Back up all the files on your device then perform a factory reset on the tablet.A number of users report that their Wi-Fi begins working properly again, after powering it off for a couple of hours. Try and leave your tablet switched off for a few hours and then switch it back on again.The representative went on to say that if the problem persists even after trying out the above methods, then the affected users will have to send him an email of a screenshot displaying the Advance Wi-Fi section page.
