Connecting to open WiFi networks — Nokia 9300 and 9500

Hi all,

For some reason I'm unable to connect with my 9500 to open WiFi networks. I�ve no problem connecting to my wireless network at home.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
dovale

This is a detailed description of my problem:

I've problems connecting to open, i.e., free, without WEP security etc., WiFi networks. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I overlooked.

In Control Panel > Connections > Internet setup I select a given open network (for which I created an Access Point), then I choose 'Advance",
in IP configuration (IPv6DNS mode) I choose either DHCP or Well Known (which works to perfection on my home wireless network) - but neither of the two settings will allow me to connect to any given open network.

Any ideas anyone?!

Ciao,
dovale

I was having trouble connecting to some WiFi networks as well but found that if I turn off similtaneous bluetooth in the setup I connect fine.

I too have trouble connecting to some WiFi networks. At home and at a local bread shop it's fine. At some other locations I have to remove the battery, power-up, and then I can connect, but there are still a few areas that I cannot connect with the 9500. One of my favorite coffee shops is this way. So, I don't go as often. :frown:

Is there a firmware update that might fix this? And how do you know which firmware version you have?
