When you meet some problem with the WIFI on your device, you can try the method below to solve the issue.

Unable to establish connection with the phone

• The wireless network may not be in range or has too of a weak signal to provide a successful connection. Check the signal bar to ensure you have strong connection.
• Re-enter the key on the phone to match the key configured on the router. Make sure that the encryption type and security settings match on the router and phone.
• If WEP encryption is in use, check that the key configured on the router matches the key entered on the phone.
• The wireless network you’re attempting to connect to may be configured for static IP addresses only. Check with the system administrator for an IP address assignment.
• Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.

Can’t connect to Internet

• Try a different URL or web site address.
• Disconnect and try connecting to the network again.
• Enter correct Password (WEP-WAP/WPA key).
• If connected via a commercial Wi-Fi hotspot, such as the ones at Borders or Starbucks, we recommend renewing the hotspot’s DHCP lease.
• Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.
