Help Wifi not working...

[Tejaljay]

I have been using my new flytouch 3 for just over a day....The wifi worked fine till now...

I tried reseting the router, restarting the apad....

I also tried using Ethernet but it just gets STUCK at ..'obtaining IP address'

I ALSO TRIED DOING A FACTORY RESET....WITH NO LUCK...

Its still not going past 'obtaining an IP adress'

I checked my BlackBerry is connecting fine to the wifi...

Can anyone please help...i have been trolling the various threads but still no luck...

thanks

Jay

First try to turn your wifi on/off switch to on. If it's already on. Turn it off and disable wireless in settings. Then turn the hardware switch on and switch it back on in settings. If that doesn't work, report back.

i have also tried this....

If your router config requires a MAC to connect a device, then that can be the problem. Try an Open network config to test.

If you cant even connect using the ethernet plug then its prolly not the wifi thats acting up. Do you have a lan connection ? Did u install a new firewall/antivirus or something on the device ? Did you check yr modem/routers build in firewall settings ?

I tried all the lings listed (reset router, on and off switch on superpad, etc.) I installed the firmware update 20110419, which erased everything and gave me a better looking home screen, but wifi is lacking. I'm in the room right next to my wifi router (3 feet) and I still get a weak/poor reading on my tab.All my other wifi devices through the house gives me 4 bars, but on my pad I get 1 bar right next to the router.

My pad connects then disconnects then tries to reconnect again.

Any permanent solutions?

It works fine when I connect through the Ethernet hard wire.

Try changing the wifi channel on the router. Some channels work better than others. And some wifi cards also prefer certain channels. I do know some makes of wifi card and older routers don't like talking to each other no matter what you do.

My access point is set to channel 1 and I get a medium strength signal about 7m away in another room.

the password encryption is important also i heard. try (temporary) to turn the password off and see if u can connect then.
