N8 WiFi disconnecting

3 replies · 23,387 views · Started 16 October 2010

I have noticed that the N8 is connecting for approx. 15 sec's and then disconnecting, only to reconnect immediately on my home WiFi.

I have tried both enabling and disabling Power saving, in WLAN settings, with no effect.

Both my N95 and Nexus One remain connected to the WiFi.

Any ideas or anyone else getting this?

are you talking about whilst you are using it?

The widgets will poll the wifi network for new info at a set period, which will kick start the wifi and then drop it again.

Or do you mean, whilst surfing, its dropping and reconnecting?

Mine is doing something very similar, only every minute or so.

Last night, watching iPlayer via my home Wifi, a few times it randomly disconnected from the wifi, tried my 3G connection, then went back to wifi. Other machines on the same wifi saw no interruption

I had the same problem with the Vivaz, in the end I had to install new firmware on a new router to get it to work
