I have a brand new tilt that I got last night and I am unable to connect to my wireless network. When I enable wi-fi in my Wireless Manager, it prompts me to connect to my router or to my PS3. I choose my router, set it to connect to 'Work' (used to do this on WM2003/WM5) and enter my WEP key.

After the WEP key is entered, I see that it is connecting, but then it just goes back to the network being available.

I have tried changing the wireless power to high, deleted the settings and re-entered them. Rebooted the phone with a hard reset, as well as my router, and I am still unable to connect.

Any thoughts?

what about setting it to connect to "The Internet" instead of Work? that's how i have mine and it works flawlessly...

I get the same results. In 'Start' > 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'Wi-Fi' I see the network I want to connect to. I highlight it and click 'Connect' and it says 'Connecting' for a few moments. Instead of moving to 'Connected' it just goes back to saying 'Available'.

I have tried every combination of 'Work' or 'The Internet' that I can find, and still no luck. I tried connecting to a neighbor's unsecured wireless network and got the same results, so I know it's not the WEP. On a side note, my Dell Axim X50 with WM5 connects to both networks just fine.

this happens to my phone every so often but a soft-reset or cycling the WiFi in the comm manageer usually fixes it...

Unfortunately, that hasn't worked for me. I have done soft resets, hard resets, and still it doesn't want to work. I'm going to try at my office tomorrow when I get there and see if that makes a difference, but I don't have high hopes at the moment.

I've read that some routers might be problematic, so I am wondering if anyone has tried the Linksys WRT100N with their Tilt. If so, was there anything special that was done to get it working?

I think it's the Wireless-N router at home. I am at work on a WAP54G and it's working fine. PIE launches, I can see my network and Pocket Putty hits the servers I need it to. Unfortunately, that means I get to mess with the router at home, but fortunately it means there is nothing wrong with the tilt.
