Hello,
I have had my RAZR HD for a year or so. Our router/modem is located on another floor than what we use it on. (I've tried to move it, but I guess DSL can only be used in certain outlets...don't get me started on that...) So my husband had heard to get a wi-fi range extender. We did (this one, if it matters: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3549506). Since I've set this range extender up I've had problems with my RAZR and the wi-fi.
We have multiple devices on the wi-fi: laptop(s), mac desktop, blu-ray(s), Kindle...and all seem to be fine with connecting. My RAZR shows that there is wi-fi and that it is connected. It works occasionally, but sometimes it doesn't work. If it isn't working it seems like the wi-fi signal indicator is white. I read online that means it isn't transferring data. I've tried different security on the router and the only thing that seemed to help was turning off the security all together...but I'd rather not do that.
Recently before starting to use the range extender, I had updated the phone. I found this post:

And followed B. Diddy's suggestions. None of that worked.
I am using the ZyXEL PK5000z and I checked it has the latest firmware.
I of course have restarted my phone, toggling wi-fi on and off...I even did a hard reset on the modem/router! I have also changed the channel on the router. Nope.
IDEAS?!!?
