AT&T Tilt no longer connects to home WiFi network after Rom update with Windows 6.1

[lurchl]

Hi all, I have searched and searched on this forum and the web without finding any kind of definitive answer. Let me also state that I am not any type of mobile developer, network administrator, or the like so any acronyms or technical tweaks may not be self-evident to me. That said....

- I upgraded the ROM without loading the bloatware, and now I cannot connect to my home wifi network (set to OPEN, WEP with default 64 bit encryption)

- home router is a 2wire HomePortal 1000HW which apparently only has 802.11b in lieu of g, which according to what I read online should not pose a problem for the Tilt.

- I CAN connect to my work network which is WPA-PSK with AES encryption.

- I hard reset the phone and tried to connect with a 'clean image' of the new ROM. No dice.

- tried hiding the SSID broadcast on the router. No go.

- I reloaded from a backup and re-entered all the wifi info on the tilt. No go.

- I tried the enable/disable proxy cabs. No go.

I noticed that the phone registered as connected to the network until I tried connecting to Google via the IE mobile browser. At the same time i got the "cannot find page" error on the browser I saw the phone go grey on the network monitor.

so that's it, I am outta luck. Help please! What is needed, a patch? Thanks in advance!

Have you changed the power saving option to best performance?


other threads would have suggested that.

You bet! Power is at best performance.

Having worked for a software company way back when, I have to wonder if this is one of those "keep a lid on it and hopefully word won't get out too much till we figure out the problem" kind of things. Very frustrating as wifi I part of why I got the damn tilt.

Very doubtful, if that were the case you would see several threads regarding this problem. XDA doesn't like lids on things.

I upgraded my Tilt to 6.1 the day it became available and it coonected right up to my Apple Airport Exteme home network with the same 6.0 settings. Even after I upgraded to Hyperdragon III, it still connected right up.
