Help WiFi not working on 5700i

[nick2010]

Hi,

I recently purchased a Galaxy, 5700i and for the first few days it hooked up to my access point using the WPA encryption with no issues, then all of a sudden, it does not work anymore. I reset the AP and then made sure my laptop could connect and then tried the phone again. But it just won't connect to the AP at all. Even using a static address.

Any ideas ?

Can it see the AP? is it picked up in Wifi Networks.

Menu
Wireless & networks
Wi-Fi Settings
Can you see the network?

Hi Beerkan,

I understand you know have the fastest i5700 on the planet Will try that once I fix the problem above. I just updated to Eclair (using nps 1.5; I wasn't brave enough to try your odin trick) but I am having the issue mentioned above now. I can see the wireless network fine but it simply doesn't connect. All laptops having no problems. Also no problem previously with Cupcake. Any idea?

Tks in advance

I think this is an early 2.1 firmware problem where odin will be your ONLY option to fix it.

You could try adding your wireless settings on your phone manually

Menu
Settings
Wireless & networks
Wi-Fi Settings
Add Wi-Fi network

From here enter your Wi-Fi details.

Alternatively you could try hard coding the Wi-Fi settings.

Menu
Settings
Wireless & networks
Wi-Fi Settings
Menu
Advanced

Here you can set up a static IP address with gateway and DNS settings.
However, you'll need to know these.

From a PC
Open CMD screen
type
ipconfig /all

Look for gateway and DNS settings and use these on the phone. Also use a fixed IP address that is not in use.
