Hey guys, i have a 8320, am running the latest T-mobile Software (v 4.5.0.81) and I'm having a Wi-Fi issue.

It started maybe 2 weeks ago, and it has become a serious annoyance. My phone used to connect to my Wireless network as soon as I walk in my house, but now It connects to the network, but I get no service. I get a red Antenna symbol with a "sos", saying No Service, or I get the Network name, but a Blue Antenna Symbol with an X.

When I try to manually connect to the network, It shows the network at full strength (5 bars), In fact, right now it shows me as connected," however, when I look at the Network details it says:

Profile Name: xxxx
SSID:xxxx
Security: Open
Signal Strength -42dBm
AP MAC: xxxxx
Device MAC: xxxxxx
Channel: 1
Network Type: 802.11b/g

(the xxxx's display relevant correct values which I have left out)

I dont understand how my network can have -42 dBm....is it an imploding network?

I'm really tired of this issue and I cant stand not being able to use my bb like I should be able to!

Any Ideas?

I know almost nothing about WiFi enabled BB's but maybe this
will help you.

Either that or delete the WiFi connection in your BlackBerry, then re-add it using auto-detect.

What kind of router do you have?

I have the Hotspot feature using WiFi here at home and I had that issue for a while too. Just ignore it and it will act more normal after a while. When you keep playing with your router/phone WiFi settings they seem to have an issue authenticating.

And the -48db is about a 50% connection, 0 being the worst and -100 being the best signal... I usually hover at -85 at home which is very good.

Have tried both. I have a Linksys WRT160Nv2 ...could that be the problem? It was working before, thats the strangest part...

I've been ignoring it for 2 weeks and it still doesnt connect...I highly doubt this problem will resolve itself.

Try this ...go to your wifi options and move your router connection to the top of the list then hit edit and select "allow inter access point handover". Then do a battery pull. Also do you have your settings set as wifi preffered?

Did you switch routers? I find only old wifi routers work with my curve.
