Wifi connection, but no internet... :(

[Guest Hyde_man]

Hi all,

I'm new to modaco, but I read that this is the place to be for troubleshooting...

I recently bought a samsung omnia pro B7610 and have som issues with it,

but I posted in this section because the software and hardware used in the i8000 and B7610 are essentially the same.

My main problem is my wifi, I can't connect to my D-link router at home, but I can connect to my neighbour's unprotected network. (and other unprotected ones)

But when connected, I can't surf the internet. IE and opera give me a connection error.

I tried every setting and all kinds of tips from other users with similar problems but the problem remains. (at least... I think I've tried everyting, hope not

Does anyone know what else I can do?

problem nr 2.., is it possible to make a .cab file of the samsung application store so I would be able to install it on the GT-B7610?

Also because it's essentially the same platform to run on...

If so, is someone willing to make one

If i run the "kies application" from samsung on my pc it doesn't recognise my phone... very strange.

And then, problem nr 3... well it's not really a problem but it's a bit annoying..,

ever since I installed the windows 6.5 update the colours of the background in work mode (the blue one with the cubes) are banded and just not nice to look at anymore.

On 6.1, it didn't have this problem.

Is it possible to fix this or to replace the background from the work mode?

Work mode is samsung today while private mode is samsung widget plus... is that correct?

And is there some way to get the weather application you see on all the gt-b7610 pictures floating around on the internet installed on my phone?

Mine doesn't have this :s

Well, I hope anyone can help. Thanks to this forum I've

thanks alot in advance...

Grtz

I think the issue we are dealing with is setting related. The browsers are pre-setted to use internet connection provided by your GPRS,

i yjink you manually have to set them to work with WIFI, i have similar issues with Skype and Google maps and when i fix them, i cant connect with my GPRS connection...

This is where this mobile has dissapointed my so far, but it a very very important aspect, as most of its features are WiFi/internet based...

I can't seem to post a new topic, and this seems to be the most closely related to my question. My wifi throughput is consistently around 700-800 kbps, even though I'm on a wireless G to a 12 Mbit connection. Has anyone else noticed this seemingly slow wifi speed? I expect those kinds of speeds via 3G, but wifi should be capable of at least 1500-2000 kbps (150-200K) I would think. Any ideas?
