- Well unless he wants to return it for good or get another tablet or wait for RIM to fix N settings, he'll HAVE to change it, fact. Truth sucks.06-17-12 07:31 PMLike 0
- I didn't ask you to change anything, pal. I asked you for your router and settings. If you were running in N only, I would tell you that is most likely the problem, and you could either change it, or return your Playbook, or throw it in the garbage, or do whatever you want. If you are running G/N, then there might be another problem or even just a faulty Playbook. It's called diagnosing a problem. I thought you were posting because you wanted answers, but now I see that you are not, so never mind.06-18-12 04:30 AMLike 0

- I will have to say that to some extent I agree with the dissatisfaction with the setup. While the device really is wifi dependent for most of its useful functions (browser, appworld, etc), there should be a way to setup the darn thing up without having to rely on wifi initially. This is a consumer product and not an insider's InfoSystem gadget. Some folks don't know anything about wifi setups and probably shouldn't have to.
I hope rim comes up with a new initialization scheme for BB10.
Now that does not mean that there are the occasional "bad" device that might have problems out-of-the-box but it should be simpler. But then again, I can see in a few years, folks also won't have desktop computers either and so I have no idea what will be required to update/initialize/etc at that point.Last edited by rcm1301; 06-18-12 at 03:05 PM.

Also have older single and dual band routers at work and other places that work g or n, but the only one I ever really had a problem with was an older D-Link draft N router. If the OP wants to post router model and settings here it might not be that difficult to troubleshoot and fix.06-18-12 05:39 PMLike 0
