    Sudden WI-FI issues with new NC update 1.2.0

    Ok, guys I tried everything. Nook tech people couldn't help either - eventually when I called I got a message saying that they are having trouble with the new update. No, really? It says they are working on it. I gave up and went a bought a new router. I was hesitant to do that because I...

    Sudden WI-FI issues with new NC update 1.2.0

    Also, it may be interesting to note that I already tried different security settings, changing from WEP to all the versions of WAP, and even set security to NONE for a quick test - and I still can't connect the NOOK to the WIFI, even when no security is set on it. The nook can't read the IP...

    Sudden WI-FI issues with new NC update 1.2.0

    Paul - I am going to try that as a last resort but as I said, tech support told me that would totally revert my nook to 1.1 or 1.0, and I also don't want to have to DL all my books again. I just tried it at a hotspot and it worked. It simply can't hook up at home. Roustabout, a IT friend...

    Yeah, I added the MAC address and it didn't work so I turned off MAC filters again. I looked into my router's logs and the Nook was definitely hammering my router, which was denying it access. As soon as I shut off the NC, my network returned to normal. Everything was fine on my network...

    Sudden WI-FI issues with new NC update 1.2.0

    I talked to NC support at length, after asking to speak with a supervisor in tech support. The first guy just kept telling me to call my ISP. My ISP is Brighthouse and they have nothing to do with my wireless router. The signal to the modem is good and that's where they stop. I looked in...

    Sudden WI-FI issues with new NC update 1.2.0

    I ran the 1.2 update for my Nook Color a few days ago and it suddenly won't connect to my Wi-FI (D-Link 625). It wreaked havoc on my home network because it kept hammering my router,which is denying it. Once I shut off the nook, all is restored. I've tried everything. My ISP says my...
