WiFi problem

[iancull]

The WiFi bars seem to update frequently, I was experimenting with holding the phone different ways last night ...
With strong signal it had no effect but further away from the hub, I could make the bars vanish to just one by holding it across the top edge, or wrapping my hand around the bottom.
Least bad seems to be holding it at the edges in the middle - not very comfortable!

I only lose wifi bars if I walk outside away from my router. Other than that I connect just fine and hold wifi when I'm home.

Im glad someone else is having this problem also, mine recognizes the network, authenticates, grabs information, etc. then disconnects suddenly before I get a chance to do anything. My password is right, and signal strength is excellent, please help us.

I am having this exact problem, but only with WEP security. Are you, by any chance, also using WEP?

I tried disabling wireless security and changing my wireless security settings to WPA2 and the phone connects fine. It seems to only have this problem with WEP encrypted networks.

I would love to know if this is a major problem with these phones or just a few isolated incidents.

yeah mine has this problem on WEP. I'll look into switch it. I'll call my provider.
