First go to your Home Screen and click on Connections. There should be a check next to Wifi and it should say On in green.

[mediyoga]

Yeah - I did that , reset my router, retried scanning- it found my network but fails to connect. The green On sign is there of course but no tick mark.

[bt224]

Did you try to manually add?

[mediyoga]

yep- no luck

[bt224]

Any security on your wifi? Can anyone/anything else connect to this wifi network?

[mediyoga]

I have temporarily disabled it and tried that too. My wifi was workin before the upgrade. Cripes , dont feel like doing any upgrade again !

[bt224]

I had zero issue with the exact same upgrade.

Is your network showing up under Wifi Options?

[mediyoga]

Yep- it shows including the hot spots in other areas of the house.

Click on your home network, hit Menu, and go to Edit. Does everything look correct?
