N800 Internet won't work
 

Hi all,

I have a nokia n800 (not flashed to diablo - yet), and I am experiencing some problems with it.

Yesterday my internet was working perfectly fine. I left it on standby during the night and put it on "offline" mode. When I went back to online mode the next day, the list of available routers showed up, but when I tried to connect to mine, it would not work. It also would not work for other routers.

I tried to go back to offline and online again. I tried shutting it off and turning it back on, but none of those seem to work. Maybe if I reflash to diablo I can get it working again .... :confused:

Thanks in advance,
Budgetperson

wep? what routers? It works excellently for most of us, Diablo or not.

No Encryption at all - Linksys router model befw11s4.

another update- tried using advanced settings but no dice.

Can you confirm that the router is working correctly? Perhaps another wireless device that you can connect. If not, turn off and let the router sit for 60 seconds and restart it. It might be that the router has crashed and needs to be rebooted.

So.. you can see access points but can not connect? Is there any error message the N800 show you? Can you tell if N800 did register with the Access Point? (Log in to the access point from another computer and check the clients table.)

You might try real hard reset by shutting down the N800 and removing battery for couple minutes... if that doesn't work then as last resort you may try reflashing the OS. If that doesn't help... then maybe it is hardware problem and needs to be sent for repair.

Okay .. now I'm starting to think its my router. I tried it again on my neighbors connection (shh), and it worked. I'm going to try to reset the router and see if that works.

Okay, it worked after resetting my router. Thanks guys! (I really need to investigate harder before posting- sorry).

OK... Glad you got it sorted out.

It may be worth checking and updating the router firmware to the latest.

Re: N800 Internet won't work
 

Okay I'll update after I'm done fully charging.
Okay one more question - does it really need to be fully charged before I update the firmware?

Re: N800 Internet won't work
 

I think you did misunderstand my message... I ment to upgrade the ROUTER firmware, not N800.

Of course you'll "need" to upgrade your N800 to Diablo at some point... but I doubt it will help with your router lockup issues.

Re: N800 Internet won't work
 

But, yes, the battery should be fully charged before updating the firmware. It's not strictly necessary, but I can't tell you how much charge you do need, and there's no reliable way to measure partial states of charge. Much better to play it safe. (And I always go belt-and-suspenders, and plug the charger into it after the USB icon shows up...)
