Default Wifi NOT work at all??

I use public wifi in my school. I registered it and it s connected every time i turn it on. I have a good speed(58Mbps), OPEN security and a IP address. I used an app to moniter the data useage and there is a small amount of data use when i keep the wifi connected.
ANYONE KNOWS WHY??
THANKS A LOT.

ok not sure I am following you.

in the title you say wifi is not working yet you say you have a IP and it is connected then you say that you see data passed. So what is not working?

When you have wifi on at school can you browse the web?

Were is the data that you see 3G or wifi?

Why do you think that wifi is not working?

are you getting errors?

guess I am saying we need more to go on here. Details man we need details.

If I had to guess

If the small amount of data that you see is in 3G then that may be the phone "signing out" of 3G

If the data is on wifi then it is the phone registering on the network.

but still need more details.

Okey, I should not say wifi is not working. It is connected for sure, but when i use the browser or the market or any app that requires internet connection it never works. It does not show web page, app store content or anything from the internet. Maybe it is my phone? this phone works in some other spot in my school,but no way to use wifi in my own dorm.

and also I turn off 3G when I have wifi, you know some widgets can help turning off 3G, so I can save some data. It is just the wifi data count that shows a data use.

I am pretty sure it is this phone s problem. I just got my ipod touch and I test the wifi on itouch. Touch works perfect. Why this good looking captivate has so many problems?
