N97 mini WLAN-Issues after 12.0.110-Update

Never had issues with WLAN-connection on old fw. Did switch off-on already both, the WLAN-Router and the N97mini. Do not want to make a reset because then i have to re-install everything again......

 

I can usually connect once, for a short time, for one action. (Like synch Favourites with OVI-Maps). After that no chance any more for several minutes.

When i go to connectivity-wlan it says "no wlan available", even after rescan.

 

I simply have to wait for half an hour, then i can connect again, for one action.

 

Anybody having the same issue?

Honesly this is really strange. I once faced this issue but the reason was that the router signal was weak & I was far away from it. Try to check the router signal with your WiFi laptop for example. Also try to remove the WiFi access point from destination menu under connectivity/settings. Then redifine it again.
I hope I can help you more. Good luck.

Re: N97 mini WLAN-Issues after 12.0.110-Update

I did delete the access point and did redefine it again. That did not help.

Meanwhile i had contact to an accesspoint in an hotel without any prob (and without any key).

No back at home... still facing the issue. Usually can conect once and do something, and then it stops working for a while.

 

Can remember these changes:

I updated the N97mini with 12.0.110

I have a new notebook via wifi which now uses wlan-n. But i did not change anything on the router, and the problem also exists if the notebook is switched off....

 

I assume, the new fw did make the phone somewhat incompatible to the router... anybody else facing these issues?

Re: N97 mini WLAN-Issues after 12.0.110-Update

Same problem here.  Just upgraded to the N97 Mini from the E61.

 

I first noticed it in the pre-installed Podcasting (which I listen to 2+ hours a day).  Downloads seem to hang after about 10-15 meg of the download is complete.  I then noticed it in Ovi when trying to download a video and it would hang during the download as well.

 

In Podcasting, I have to keep the connection manager open so I can disconnect the connection, then reconnect again in Podcasting.  It is very frustrating as an hour long podcast takes three cycles to complete!  Please help us Nokia!

 

In Ovi - you just can not download large files.

 

BTW - I have a D-Link Router in case there seems to be some type of compatibility issue?  No way to test on another WLAN connection at this point.

 

This is the only major issue that I have identified so far since owning the phone (unless one counts that the phone is absent an automatic polisher/fingerprint remover).

 

Patient for now - waited to buy this phone instead of getting an eye-moan.  Please fix the WLAN issue.

What do you mean disable Bluetooth? Do you mean turn it off, or what? I did that & never helped. I believe the two (Bluetooth & WiFi) may not affect each other!

Now I am getting a message of 'Invalid Server Name" on my browser when I use WLAN, although my home WLAN is working normally on my laptop & all remaining wireless instruments I have. To make things worse, I can only access the web through my N97 mini using only 3G/GPRS.

Any help please?

Yes, i mean disable bluetooth.

When i disable bluetooth and switch it off in the N97mini, then i get a good WLAN connection.

That was the trick which did help for me....
