    My Passport has problematical connectivity with hotspots and other routers during my travels and also won't connect to my home network/router whether using the Wireless Key or WPS (no travelling dots). Going into the router Administration/Home Network/Local Network Devices/Detected Devices, the PP is listed with other devices but as 'Inactive' whereas my Playbook, laptop, a desktop, Chromecast... are all listed as 'Active'. Is there a way to get the PP designated as 'Active'/a setting in the PP somewhere, or is there a chicken and egg thing here - it's listed as 'Inactive' because it can't connect?

    Most likely - it's listed as 'Inactive' because it can't connect.
    Have you tried turning off all of your antennas except wi-fi?
    Disconnect one or more of your other devices from wi-fi network and then try the Passport?
    Delete the AP from the BlackBerry list of routers it connects to and try to connect from scratch?

    If you open that specific wifi profile, there should be a toggle switch at the very top to "Enable" the profile again. Once you've done that it should start to work again. If it doesn't I would say do what coffee - turtle said to do.
