Help Wifi Connectivity problems?

[aces67]

It seems I put this in the wrong forum the first time so I'm reposting here.

We bought 2 Samsung Captivates on Friday. They connected great to At&T's Hotspot but when we got them home they won't stay connected to my home network. It literally takes 20 tries to get it to connect and then after 2 minutes it kicks you off again.

I can't change the settings on my router b/c It's a Mifi Hotspot. I thought maybe it was my network- Even though I have 2 laptops, The WIi and my son's PSP hooked to it and they all work fine, so I took the phone's out to try on other networks. Our local school has 4 networks. It picked up all 4 and connected to one for a minute and then dropped off again. The computer technology lady there told me to bring them both back b/c that's not right. She has an Iphone and it connects just fine.

Then I was surfing the internet and it looks like we're not the only ones having this issue. Is it fixable? I took mine back yesterday and I'm ordering an Iphone. My husband still has his but he's getting aggravated b/c he can't connect to our network so he's thinking of rerturning his also.

Any tips/advice?

Okay I did a hard reset b/c Dh's phone wouldn't even scan for networks anymore. Then I installed the WiFi fixer app. That seemed to be working at first but now it shows I'm connected to my network but every web page I try to bring up says web page can't be found. When you open the Android Market it says A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel.

I'm using that same network to post this message though so I know it's not my network acting up. I'm ready to throw this phone:/
