Re: Review: Verizon XV6700 Pocket PC Phone with EVDO, WiFi and Bluetooth

HELP!!! I am a novice and just bought the XV6700. How in the he-- do I connect to WIFI???
It finds my SSID and says it's available bu t will not connect. I have tried to disable the Data Encryption, no joy and then insert my WEP code and still no joy. When it's on the 'main' page for the wirelesss lan setting it will just scan the network. WHY??
I have verizon FiOS and works just fine on my laptop but not my phone. Can ANYONE help me?!?!?




I'm having this very same issue. I've gone over my network with a fine tooth comb and everything is setup correctly. My phone sees the network, but it won't connect to it. It's like it times out before my router can hand out an IP address and goes on to one of the other 5 access points around me. It also tries to connect to my work network, that is no where near me and shouldn't see it at all. I've tried it with and without security features enabled. It will connect to my work network in a matter of seconds. Is this perhaps a router issue? Is it just slow and cheap or what? Any information on this problem would be helpful. I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. In fact, it took me 3 days to find someone having the same issue. I love the rest of the phone, but it will make my life A LOT easier and a little cheaper to have it connect to my WiFi at home and at work.

Thanks,

Dippy

P.S. I got it to connect to my home network once. I did a soft reset when trying to figure out what was going on and it got stuck trying to connect to my home network until finally it did (it took it like 3 minutes). I have not been able to get it to stick again for the life of me.
