Default New to BB (AT&T 9700) and frustrated with Wi-Fi

Please Login to Remove!

Hello everyone,

I've had my 9700 for 3 days now and having some issues with Wi-Fi (I have other issues, but I'll keep them for the correct page ).

I am able to detect my home wireless, I am even able to connect to it, but for some reason I cannot use the browser (changed to Hotspot)...it starts searching but then stops and says it cannot find the server.

What am I doing wrong? What other settings do I need for that (BIS)?

Thanks in advance.

sbi, for the WiFi Hotspot browser, make certain it is set, reboot the device by a powered on battery pull and once up again, try the browser now.

You can also try to use the Opera Mini browser.

Thank you JSanders! I'll look at the Opera Mobile, maybe I'll like it better.
In the mean time, the problem is solved
Here is what was wrong:
I have two routers (long story) - one is wired, a switch behind it, and behind the switch I have a wireless router.
Turns out, the DHCP in the main (wired) router was limited to 6 clients, thus when the BB connected to the network it acquired the IP from the wireless router which serves as a hotspot.
I changed the number of clients in the main router, disabled DHCP in the wireless, and now BB is connected with a green mark and browser works just fine.

Thanks again!
