I have been reading in the threads about setting the connection type to wifi preferred or wifi only. I have gone to manage connections and I cant find these options anywhere. When I look at mobile network options, I only see data services - on and mobile network at&t. Can anyone advise?
Also have you gone through the wifi guide Denny? Also, open options, select wifi connections and set it to automatic - if it isn't already after you have run the wifi setup. http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/comp...ifi-how-47229/

Manage Connections > Mobile Network Options. Under 'Connection Preference' make sure you have 'WiFi preferred' selected.
When I go to Network Options, I don't see Connection Preference as a option. Just Data Services and Mobile Network... Also when I go to manage network the wifi connection does not have a green check it has a white dash. Additionally on the home screen, I still show EDGE and under that wi is grey and fi is black.....
Even with my Wifi unchecked under Manage Connections I can still see "Mobile Network Options" and can click on it... it's one the menu selections that you can see and check the Wifi.

I see the Mobile Network Options but when I click that I only see Data Services On and Mobile Network ATT
Scanned when I set the phone up on Saturday and I did a battery pull about an hour ago. For some reason I cant get blackberry services over wifi?????? Been to the users manual posted on crackberry and it does not offer a solution.
I really dont think it is an OS problem. I suspect it may be something to do with getting through my router. I have a VPN router provided my my company and I have all sorts of problems with other programs as well.
I would go ahead with the upgrade. You can always fall back if you need to.
I am having the same problem on my ATT 8900... Does anyone know how to get the ATT 8900 to default to using wifi when browsing the internet? Mine will only surf via EDGE, unless I turn off the Mobile Network. TIA!
Interesting read, thanks for sharing. No use to me though, as Voda don't do EDGE
So in a nutshell - the preferred wifi option is not available on unlocked handsets, only on those handsets locked to carriers who offer UMA... or you can add it yourself using the 'fix'
Anyhow, it seems that the answer to your problem is actually within that link...

i managed to get everything working ok, if you wipe or upgrade your os you will loose all the settings requiring you to enable via the escreen and reentry of the settings again.
You did the fix and you had the option... then you updated your OS and you lost the option
