My Playbook will connect to my wifi but not stay connected.
- My BlackberryPlaybook will connect to my wifi at home but not stay connected when I go to use apps, such as facebook. I log in and the connection drops and will not let me log in. I have been able to connected to other wifi connections and they have worked fine without dropping. It cant be my router because we have 2 laptops and 2 ipods which connect to the wireless fine. Please help me.08-02-11 02:24 PMLike 0
- Correct but I wouldn't call it a solution. My PlayBook hates my D-Link and does the same thing. I shouldn't have to buy a new router just to use my PlayBook. The current one was just over 100$ and is less than a year old. Our iPad, Asus netbook, and other BlackBerry devices connect just fine. The PlayBook connects, works for a while, then drops the connection then repeats the cycle every minute or two. Highly highly annoying, but compounded by the fact that the PlayBook can't play nice with certain routers. When I called RIM's PlayBook support about this months ago the woman's suggestion was to "use my PlayBook at McDonalds or Starbucks." Sure lady, I payed 800$ for an electronic McDonalds companion.08-02-11 04:37 PMLike 0
- My wifi would always cut out at work so I started changing every setting that I could and one worked for me. Goto: Options -> wifi -> Select a Network (drop down) select "Saved Networks" -> Tap the network in your home -> SSID there is a box that says "Hidden SSID" tap it so that a check mark appears in the box -> Save and Connect
Since I have done this at work my wifi has been completely stable. Hope it works for you.sbx9900 likes this.08-02-11 07:08 PMLike 1 - My wifi would always cut out at work so I started changing every setting that I could and one worked for me.
