N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

Hi, just got the N800 but cannot get an internet connection on my home router. I have a Linksys WRT350N and use WPA PSK. Keep getting Network connection failure, retry....I have been searching the internet and that's how I got here, and hope someone can tell me whats up, I really want to use this unit to its utmost....thanks in advance

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

How many characters are you using in your password? Are you sure you are typing them all in....correctly?

Maybe try and setup unprotected wifi and see if it will connect. At least then, if it still doesn't, that would rule out the PSK.

Thanks for that, I am using 13 chars for pswd and have gone as far as no security on my router, and still the same thing. I am going to call Linksys, and will try it on another network and see what happens...must say it is frustrating, because I've had it for 3 days and haven't really done anything but work on this!! I will post my results. I will keep watching this thread in the meantime, in case someone has the answer

Have you tried connecting to it with any other wireless device (laptop, etc.)?

Hi, not sure what you mean by "Have you tried connecting to it with any other wireless device (laptop, etc.)"...I can connect it to the internet using another device?? btw, able to connect using my friend's network (Dlink with WPA), so it kinda points to my router, don't you think?

Thx for helping, much appreciated...

What I meant was, have you tried using a laptop or something along with the tablet to connect to it?

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

IIRC, there was an issue with draft N routers. Try making it b/g or g only to see if that works.

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

Hi, I will try that, one thing I have set to "mixed" because I have an N in my laptop.....where did you see about the problem with N and the unit, would want to read up on that.....
Thanks for your help

See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459

It might have been fixed in OS 2008, however.

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

Guess what, it worked!! I changed my router to be on BG-mixed and it corrected the problem. My laptop is working under this setting so I'm leaving everything as is....
Now that I have network working I'll start looking at apps available, any suggestions, and whats your recommendation for upgrading to os2008?

U have been great, thanks to you I am now enjoying my n800....t

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

Hi, glad that it worked. :) The estimated release date for 802.11N is June 2009 according to Wikipedia, so that may be why Nokia doesn't fully support N currently.

I actually don't see much reason in not upgrading the OS, even though there are some missing apps currently. So, I would recommend upgrading. Maybe it will fix the n issue too.

Re: N800 unable to connect on my WLAN
 

OK, will do the upgrade once I get more familiar with the unit

Thanks again to everyone who responded and assisted
