Samsung international wifi problem

[cupatea123]

Hi I have just flown from New Zealand to Australia and my Samsung Galaxy s3 is refusing to connect to the internet via the wifi at my current location. I have still got my New Zealand sim card in and I am able to connect to the wifi but when looking at the connection all it says next to it is disabled. I was able to connect to the internet through the free wifi at both Brisbane and Sydney airport but not here in Mount Isa at a home network. I am only here for a couple of weeks so I am trying to avoid buying a new sim card so I am hoping this is not the issue. Any advice would be great cheers.

Have you just refreshed it for newer ones??? IF that doesn't works a soft reset would work better enough in my opinion.

SIM Card shouldn't have an effect at all with your WiFi connection... Even so, check that you don't have some setting for turning off WiFi when roaming (long shot, but it could be).

Also, SOME routers are known to have issues with certain configurations with newer Samsung phones. Unfortunately, to check this you'd need access to the routers configuration so if this is not your network, there's not much you can do to test this.
