I am getting the following inconsistent results from my N95, I am running the latest v12 firmware:-
1. Sometimes is can see my WLAN but then its says No WLAN found (this is on the auto refresh screen on active standby.
2. When I do connect to the internet via my access point, it comes up with "No Gateway found" Then other times it works...
3. Whilst browsing web page I do get page not found / disconnected etc..
I have made the following changes in different combinations:-
1. Disabled Power Save from within the advanced settings - this made a bigger difference when I was running v11 firmware, now on 12 its doesn't seem as good.
2. Assigned static ip address, subnet, gateway and DNS but this doesn't seem to make any great improvments.
Is there a way to delete the access point and re-define?
What other things can I try and this is quite frustrating?
Could my phone be faulty? I have only had it one week....
Thanks

No your phone is not faulty its just the WLAN is not very good, I have all the same probs as do other people, after all it is just a phone :laugh:
Ok, point taken, but is there a way to get a more consistent wifi access, i.e what settings provide the best setup?
I think it may down to the brand of wifi access point, i.e. I have used Belkin, Linksys and Netgear and have best results with my Netgear but other people may disagree, sorry but in my experience there�s not much one can do 😊
Netgear works extremely well here.
s.
tools / settings / connection / access points .. select the one you want to delete and options / delete
I have no problems even with my phone turned down to Tx 10mW .. which I recommend for power saving .. the default is 100mW!
if possible increase the power level on your Access Point .. many default to about 30mW .. you can safely use the maximum the device allows. Typically 100 - 250mW
be wary of other wireless devices - such as cordless phones in your vicinity.
multi aerial devices are somewhat better in difficult environments even without MIMO
As always Good Luck! 😊
I have the same. On my work network (Cisco) it picks up and works faultlessly even from a fair distance but at home (Dlink) it often fails to find the network or drops off even in the same room, mere feet from the router!
I really think it boils down to consumer wireless network flakiness. No matter what brand you use, there are always certain problems that pop up that shouldn't. I've been a early wireless adapter since 802.11b and have been on the "bleeding edge" of wireless routers and adapters up till now and even though I'm familiar with every setting under the sun, sometimes I just get disconnected from time to time no matter what I do or what equipement I'm using. I'm sure the Cisco equipement is much more robust (read expensive) and has seen much more reliability testing than our linksys/netgear/dlink/apple equipement and that's probably why it works like a champ at work. My N95-3 connects just fine to my apple airport extreme (when it's actually up) so all I can say is just keep messing with all variables of the settings until something pans out. When I build my house, it's going to be a wired network primarily with a wireless just for phones/accessories. I'm sick of wireless!
I really don't get it now. Appeared to get some consistent results last night but now its flakey as hell again...
I have a linksys WAG54GS running V1.01.01 firmware with 128bit WEP encryption.
Are there any specfic settings that anyone knows about on this type of access point that can be altered to get this more reliable...
Thanks
