Help WiFi connection Problem Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v

I also have the same problem. It shows as connected, but when I open the browser, it says it is not connected. From my experience with Ipod, it should ask me for password as soon as the browser is opened, but it does not ask for one, and just keeps on saying that it cannot open the webpage.
Most likely you problem(s) is that the Tablet is on the wrong Sub-Net. Check and see what IP address has been issued to (or created by) the Tablet.
Go to the "settings" screen and select "Wireless & networks". Then look at the extreme upper-right part of the screen and touch the four little horizontal bars; then touch "advanced". That will display the IP address your Tablet is using. It BETTER be on your sub-net address or you'll not be able to get through your ROUTER to the internet. It should say something like:
192.168.1.xxx and NOT 192.168.100.xxx.
To fix this, try turning off your Tablet and your Wireless Router (or Access Point). Then first turn back on you Router...wait a minute...then turn you Tablet back on. Good luck

This problem for me turned out to be that the DNS address was wrong.
My DSL router was acting as a DNS server, but then started configuring DHCP hosts with an outside address. My Galaxy Tab 10.3 was statically configured, and therefore started saying "the URL does not exist."
The same thing could happen if your DNS server stopped working, which they occasionally do.

Hey I have tried this on my tab 10.1 but still doesn't work do you know of any other ways to fix this? I have the wifi only tab and as of right now it's useless considering I can't even hook it up at my house

I have this same problem. I looked at my DHCP settings and the lease was set to half a day for renewal. Since I don't use my tab every 12 hours, sometimes it'll have to reset the lease.
I updated it to "Forever" and after the router reboot, it works fine. It's an option (not a pretty one but an option). I tried this change based on the following web-site:
