    Hello all,

    I can't get my BB bold connected to my wifi router. I have done everyone possible and even took the security off router but still no joy.

    Has anyone go any suggestions?

    What seems to be the problem? Go to Wifi setup... and choose scan for networks. Once you find your network, just enter your routers password key that you have setup... Very simple.

    Then just make sure you change your browser to "Hotspot Browser."

    Okay you would think "simple" is the operative word.

    The only thing I didn’t do is change the browser to "Hotspot Browser." I read con-flicting advise about this.. Other says internet explorer is needed to be set.

    Why would I need to set this to Hotspot Browser?

    I've never had to switch to "hotspot" browser manually. If there's an active wifi connection, my browser just shows the wifi symbol instead of the 3G symbol. Only time I've tried the manual change was attempting to connect to hot spots.

    Sometimes when I have issues connecting to the wifi router, I do a real battery pull (not a three finger salute or QuickPull). I also have re-sent services books at times. Doesn't happen all that often, but between those two things, I've gotten wifi to work with any "home" type router. (HotSpots are a different beast - I have yet to have a successful connection to a hotspot that requires some sort of authentication (usually just a web page to accept terms and conditions, not a "paid" hot spot).)

    Most likely that free connection is local access only meaning you cannot connect to the internet which is why its open and without a password. My university has that too... One in which you put your student number and password and one that you just connect to.

    I dont know why its not working... Go to wifi setup, scan for networks, find yours, enter your password and done.
