Default Wi-Fi problem

Hi I have a O2 Atom and tried connecting WI-FI with my Laptop but it would not. Can you tell me the procedure. I tired turning the Wifi on but it will not. I went to settings>connections>wifi Utility>Menu>Turn On Wifi but it just shows satuts as Wifioff. I checked in Menu>about and it shows Driver Version: Wifi not enabled, Firmware Version: Wifi not enabled, Mac Address: Wifi not enabled.

I am using the latest ROM Official update. What could be the problem? Is there any tweak to solve this problem. Please assist someone.

if you have the latest ROM, use wireless manager to turn on wifi.

tap on anthena on upper bar, then tap "wireless manager", then turn wifi on.

1. Run selftest, to be sure, that it isn't hardware problem
2. Try HARD RESET

Default Wi-Fi problem

I have noted one thing for sure that when I am away from my computer and have checked the wireless Manager shows the Wifi: Off.

When I click Menu > Wi-fi Settings it goes to creating a new profile. But when I am close to this laptop I want to connect to the profile page does not show. :!: :!:

WHY is this happening :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Default SOLUTION to WIFI Problem In O2 Atom

I had tremendous problems with my O2 WIFI which would not connect to my laptop WIFI LAN Network. I asked O2 People & Lot of people on this and other forum but got no perfect response.

Practically trying many options I by chance put back the old ROM upgrade of O2 2006123-45 and tried switching on the WIFI and lo and behold it worked fine.

Then I reload the new ROM 20060426 again and it works fine.

This proves that if you reload the NEW Upgrade ROM more than once it locks the WIFI.
