WLAN settings

[xiasma]

Are there any different default settings for wifi between WM5 and WM6? I ask because I've two XDA Execs, one running WM5 and one WM6 yet they exhibit different behaviour:


WM5
Can see LAN on my WEP setup
Can see internet on my WEP setup
Can see internet on neighbour's unprotected Wifi
Can see internet on UMTS/GPRS

WM6
Can see LAN on my WEP setup
Can NOT see internet on my WEP setup
Can see internet on neighbour's unprotected Wifi
Can see internet on UMTS/GPRS

Now, I've not had to set up the router or WLAN stuff with specified MAC codes for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox, either XDA, etc.
So, what should I check?

LOL, now the WM5 mobile can't see the internet and the WM6 can!

Sounds more like an issue in your router/signal.

If it persists you could try changing your SSID's channel to 6 or 1 to avoid conflict?

Already on 6 iirc.

What should I suspect, though? I'm so teh n00b with wifi

Most come with 11 as standard, the trouble is that can mean conflict as they are all on the same wavelength, 1 and 6 mean you are completely off the same wavelength (whatever the technical explanation is) from 11 (and the other depending on what you choose).

Have a look at the local wifis you see, pick 1,6 or 11 depending on what isn't used near you.

Of course, someone may be using say 2, which overlaps with 1 quite a bit (and 6 a little), so 11 would be better, etc.
