I connected to wifi earlier this morning without a hitch. I was trying out tethering and then disconnect and now I cannot connect to wifi!!!!! I rebooted, I deleted the wifi saved profile, but still no luck

Edit: I just did a security wipe, and the device connected to wifi during the inital setup again *sigh* Not something I want to do all the time!

I have the same issue. The playbook will connect to any unsecured network with no problem. I have tried two different secure networks with no luck. I am using WPA2 personal and my laptop can connect just fine. I have power cycled everything including the playbook.

The wireless logs on the playbook show

trying to associate with xxxxmacaddressxxx
associated with xxxmacaddressxxx
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED

and keeps repeating. Any ideas to get around this without security wipe or relaxing wireless security.

OK I got mine working (and being on with blackberry support for over 6 hours). I tried disabling all security on the Linksys router with no luck. I tried security wipe on the playbook with no luck. Weird was I could connect to some wifi open but not my own or a few others that we disabled security; as I use WPA2 personal.

Found an article referencing some security issues with wireless mode N with blackberrys that they don't support some code revs of N.

Changed my router from B/G/N-mixed to B/G=mixed and the playbook connected in a snap.

I don't know if my router has code for N mode that RIM doesn't support due to security issues but by simply disabling N mode it works so I am happy for now.

This is absolutely the solution!!!! Since OS2 first came out, I've been plagued by this problem. Thank you for this post!!!
