Hi

I also have a similar problem

I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail

I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)

WORST than that - it HANGS the wi-fi router and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!

What am I doing WRONG ???

Any suggestions welcomed

just noticed there is another post about this problem

Take a look Here (http://www.xda-orbit.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4). This worked for me

I originally had trouble connecting to the internet. I connected to my router and added a device registering my Orbit MAC address and the other info required and bingo works a treat. I checked the other link from jamin100, personally didnt have to do this!!

Hi @ll..

i had the same Problem..
I connect per WLAN to my accesspoint, then i can open Websites with any Browser.. but after about 30seconds it seems, that the connection is down.

Here i have a solution, that works great at my XDA Orbit

Goto Settings->Connections
Change the Power-Settings of WLAN to Power optimized--> MAX

then the Problem should be solved ;-)

GREAT

This fixed it

Why ???

I should not need extra power - I am 3 feet from the WiFi router ??

XDA Orbit now get hot after 20 mins use onWiFi !!

Hi,
I Am Able To Connect And Browse The Internet At Home Perfectly well However When I Am at University I Try To Connect To The Wifi. It Will Connect but After A Bit It Will Not Load Up Any Pages although It Still Shows I Am Connected! Furthermore my Mate who Has A Mini S And P990i Is Able To Connect And Browse Perfectly.

Another Thing Is That When I Try To Search For Networks It Will Not Show Anything But When I Restart The Orbit It Will Show The Available Wifi!

Finaly I Cant Stop That "Message Sent" Notification, I Have Tried To Do All The Tweaks But Nothing Works

Any Help Will Be Much Appreciated
