Hi akshayf, I have an e75 but I believe it's the same utilities we so here goes:
Firstyou should check if your router allows for you to Add a Wireless Device withWPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You’ll dothis by going to your router’s admin page and clicking on wirelesssettings. If so, and you know that youhaven’t done anything with regard to this, on your nokia device presssettings-> connection-> destinations-> internet; after selectinginternet go to the WLAN definition that you may already have and delete it. Goback up one page to “Access Point” and re-create the access point. I created mine using a shared key (WPA-psk). At this point you should have your nokiaphone set-up a pin (through WPS) with the router. They will share this information which is anumber consisting of about 14 digits. Without this your phone may work if you go on to do below; but in a casewhere you have a persistent connection, such as music being played on theinternet radio, the router will continually question the phone if few packetsor so as to what is it & does it have permission even though it has theshared-key & the phone will give up/ terminate the connection.
NoteI use a D-Link DIR-615 router & a TrendnetTEW-340APB router in repeatermode.
2Go into the router with your browser to see the settings. For me, this is donewith the URL I’ve set my router to http://192.168.0.11 as I purchased two routers with my nokia e75,one for upstairs one for downstairs; and they’re of different manufacturers,Trendnet makes routers that will repeat the broadcast of another router just soas to broaden range. Anyhow, you need toaccess the administration page of your router. You will need the ID andpassword to admin the router settings. If you had used a D-Link router it wouldbe what you should have noted on the CD sleeve.
3Find the wireless interface settings. Which is settings-> connection-> destinations-> internet; thenselect/ choose edit. Note the security settings - set them up if you have to -most people use WPA-PSK (like myself) which is the "shared key"approach. There are a lot of wirelesssetups where I live and I think this is the better method.
4It's helpful to also make sure that the SSID is set to something you willrecognise on your phone (this is the ID string that will display when yousearch for available WLANs), and that the SSID will be tagged"Public" or "Broadcast" - otherwise you will not see it onthe phone.
5Before you go to the phone, go back to Windows, bring up a Command pane [ Start– Control Panel – Network Connections – right click on your Lan or High-Speedconnection icon this is usually called Local Area Connection – click on Status– then click on support]. Look for three things:
your"IP address" (mine was 192.168.0.11 because my home network isprepared for multiple devices to connect to multiple access points, but don’tworry just note yours)
thesubnet mask (mine was 255.255.255.0)
the "Default Gateway" (mine was 192.168.0.1 because that is thepre-set IP address for the router)
the "DNS server address" (mine was 192.168.0.1, same as previous).
PHONE[Nokia E series are all similar - I don't know about others]:
1 From the menu go [ Connectivity - Connection manager - Available WLANs ] andsee what you get - you should be able to see the SSID you entered above whenthe search is done.
2 Return (to the top of the menu) and go to where you can edit the propertiesof access points [ Tools - Settings - Connection - Access points ] and selectyour SSID. You need the following settings:
Connection name: Use the SSID? Or any term that is useful for you (HomeLAN,OfficeLAN?}
Data bearer: "Wireless LAN"
WLAN network name: This will be the SSID
Network status: This will be "Public"
WLAN network mode: "Infrastructure"
WLAN security mode: "WPA/WPA2" (if you chose the WPA-PSK setting inthe router)
WLAN security settings: Select this and you will see a sub-menu:
WPA mode: "Pre-shared key"
Pre-shared key: You will see some
asterisks (***) but you can edit
this to make sure it is the same
as you entered in the router
(other settings here are not critical)
Go back to the Access point data
settings (up one level)
3This is where the real answer to the problem comes ...
From the "Access point" details [if you get lost it's Tools -Settings - Connection - Access points again] , choose [ Options - Advancedsettings - IPv4 settings ] and you will find the following:
PhoneIP address: Enter a number
192.168.0.nnn where nnn is different
to anything else on your network -
try adding a small number to the IP
address you found for your PC.
I used 192.168.0.101 and it works fine.
Subnet mask: Must be set to 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: Must be set to the
router IP address (mine was 192.168.0.11) DNS address: there are two, primaryand
secondary - it should be sufficient to put
the router IP address (mine was 192.168.0.11) in as primary. If you don’t haveany other routers leave the secondary blank; if you do, put the IP address ofthe second router/access point as secondary. That way when walk through your home you may see the number of accesspoint counter go from 1 to 2, and back wherever you’re out of range of one.
Youdo not need to change any other advanced settings.
