Hi,

Wifi access to my home network worked very nicely under android 2.3.7. Now under 4.0.4 the phone does connect or so it tells me at the Wi-Fi tab, and it seems the phone starts connecting but the connection is blocked. I feel i've tried everything including resetting the phone and the router, the repair option in PC-companion etc. Have i missed something obvious, or less obvious. Have the rules for Wi-Fi passwords changed as that is the only option i haven't changed yet, as that would involve changing lots of logins. BTW my phone is set to dutch language.

Regards,

Frits

Try this, I had the same problem but was finally able to resolve it.

Try and change the channels of the router between 1-11(one of them will work out, hopefully 1 or 6 or 11) and the mode of the router to be 11bg mixed.

Thank you,

your answer is correct, Unfortunately what worked was changing my router from 11bgn to 11bg. It seems that Sony doesn't like it if your WiFi is too fast.

I also encountered problems with WIFI after upgrading to ICS.

Sola found WIFI from D-Link DIR-615 in G/N (1-11 channels) mode with WPA\WPA2 security only after clicking several times Found button. Other phones and notebooks work fine in this mode.

But Sola works fine only in G (1-11 channels) mode with WEP security.

Router is in the most up-to-date version of frimware.

Sony, could you, please, check this issue?

Thank you for your reply. Did you notice that in your last line the name Sony was deleted. In the mailversion i got from you it read: "Sony, could you check this issue?"

My Sola does work with my home WiFi in B/G protocol on channel 1-11 with WPA/WPA2 enabled. This is on a Fritz!Box 7340 router. I am not even going to try WEP because WEP is completely unsafe. The Sola also does not work after the ICS update on public WiFi-hotspots that logically don't have any security settings.

I am getting more convinced the problem is a faulty implementation of the N protocol in the Sola ICS update.

I have contacted my local Sony Mobile support but that has not done much good. They tried to act like it was my individual problem. Maybe if we all contact Sony they may actually do something.
