Since the update my work Wifi doesn't connect

[f1nzup]

I can connect to any wifi (home, restaurants, etc) since the update except for my work wifi. I connected fine to the work wifi and then I went on vacation and got the update while on vacation, and then when I came in on Monday I haven't been able to connect since. Nothing has changed on the work end, so I have to assume it had something to do with the update. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The update removed the menu item to select Wifi frequency from 5.0 or 2.4 ghz or Auto. It used to be under the WiFi Advanced menu. My guess is that you were set to 2.4 ghz before you updated. Now you can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks, which are all the free hotspots, and your work wifi is probably 5.0 ghz.

I have the same problem. Sprint has no fix at this time other than a master reset and reflash an earlier version. No thanks..

Got the same problem, stuck on 5GHZ. Cannot use free wifi spots or wifi in hotels. Very annoying and this needs to get fixed !!!

It may be something less technical. Try deleting your work network connection and re-entering it again with the current password. Sometimes it's something that simple with networks.

I was stuck at 5 ghz, too. I decided to root and flash Blazer ROM and now everything is back to normal. You might want to try it, too.

Ugh. Not the answer I wanted, but at least it's an option. Thanks for the update.

Ok, I did the hard reset yesterday (what a PITA) and got into the office this morning and I am now able to connect to the wifi again. Thanks again for the update.
