Hello,

Iīve read the whole forum to get some information about the 770er Wifi problem, but there is no satisfiable proposal to solve that problem.

Iīve the typical problem. My 770 functions fine with OS2005! With OS2006, 2007 I donīt see any WiFi-Apīs. Is there a solution for this problem?

Thx for your help...

Christian from Germany

Never heard of such a problem before. Are you sure your AP is not hidden? does your n770 displays other AP's?

I dusted off and fired up my 770 few days ago and ran into the similar problem. If I scan for networks repeatedly it will sometime detect the ssid, but always fails to connect and get a IP lease.

I only tried this under 2006, 2007 and 2008; and the last time it worked I was using a different wireless router. Search for "wifi" and "blind" on the forum for few others having the same problem. I'll have to try rolling all the way back to 2005 to see if that may work, but I suspect the radio in the unit is bad.

All I wanted to run it was as a remote for my Myth TV box I am setting up too....

Sounds like you might have the same problem as myself and a few others. Is your problem like this:

Unplug and re-plug the power to your router will solve the problem.

I've experienced behavior matching the description in Vinh's bug link: Connectivity usually works fine, but on one or two occasions that I was somewhere that there were many wireless access points, first I got a long list, then got nothing, or if there was something on the list I couldn't connect to it. Maybe I'll be able to run syslog (per the bug link) at some point. On my 770 I've been running OS 3.2006.49-2 forever.

Well rolled my 770 all the way back to 2005 and it now works!
I'm only using WEP on my personal router as I'm in a neighborhood that has no range for someone off the street to access my AP. However the neighbors in the last year or 2 now have AP running which is probably interfering with my 770 now.

I have noticed the same thing lately, I noticed that if I set my router to b/g instead of b/g/n it seems to work just fine. I assumed that it was my router messing with my 770. But then again it is no messing with my N800.
I tried downgrading and none of the older version will work when my router has N on so I just have to turn down my wifi router.

I have similar problem appearing ever since one of my neighbours brought a new wifi router. When that router is off everything returns to normal. It's annoying since I can't find ways to shield my tablet. I don't think it's due to too many APs since there are only 5 in my surrounding, and I had been in places with more than 30 APs that 770 works flawlessly

Does anyone know how to identify the brand and model of that router? That may help nailing down the problem.

Just in case, do you have the following fix installed: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=11824 ?

I'm not sure if it is directly related to your problem, but that memory corruption bug is quite nasty and can cause all the kind of WLAN instability issues. Please report back if it helps.
