More details as to the type of router you're using a/b/g/n? The keyboard DOES NOT have backlight. You can use the fingertouch screen keyboard for that, which IMO works fine. Hope this helps.
well thanks it was belking and after searching a reading i found its belkins N fault, after performing a firmware upgrade it worked like charm
thanks for your help anyways
I'm having a technical problem with my home Wi-Fi router, and my Fuze. I just recently set up a wireless network at home, and have my PC connected to the router through Wi-Fi. Whenever I attempt to connect my Fuze to the router, the Fuze hijacks the connection, and disconnects my PC from the network. I have tried to contact the tech support for the router, but nothing they suggest seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I am missing in the router configuration? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've used my fuze on multiple routers and it doesnt do this. Get a new router
If you give static ip on both pc and ppc check if you gave the same ip. If not, check the dhcp range on your router.

Maybe I should not have said "any help would be greatly appreciated". It is a new router.

First thing I would try is updating the firmware, and doing a factory restore.
If that doesn't work, try changing the router to force 54g connections only. It's possible, but unlikely, that the Draft-N spec used by the router doesn't play nicely with the WLAN chipset in the Touch Pro.

agreed, i would try this first. makes sense that if they both have the same ip that that is the cause of your problem. if you're set to assign dynamic ip's on connecting to the router, then i'd try upgrading the firmware. good thing to check first
Still having problems with this issue. Tried everything suggested so far.
Make sure the IP's are not conflicting and the dhcp range is at least 10 addresses.
It could also be a neighbor screwing around, make sure you encrypt your wifi with wpa or wpa2 or anyone in range can use your wifi.
When I first read your problem I thought it was an IP conflict with both devices like some others have said....but if you've checked everything and tried all possible solutions posted in this thread I think it might be pretty safe to assume that you need a new router. If its new, just bring it back and exchange it for a different one.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655P and have connection types (B, G, N) on auto, dynamic IP address assignment set, and I have the latest firmware installed and I have no issues whatsoever...I have a quick lock and fast speeds.
I've got a few questions, because to me this sounds like a possible issue with your network adapter on your PC, rather than a DHCP "hijack" issue.
What is the ip on your PC after it gets "hijacked"?
Do you use sleep/hibernate modes on your PC?
Have you turned off Windows Firewall or any other security/virus/malware software on the PC?
This router is new, did this setup work with a previous router?
What security protocol are you using for wireless connections, WEP, WPA, WPA2, or none?
-----------------
Hope you can figure it out, that's gotta be a real PITA.
Got it fixed. Did some more research, and found that the firmware updates do not work with Firefox, so I used IE to do the update, and it works fine. For anyone else that uses or is planning to use this router, check the firmware. The firmware version that mine came with (1.0.4 build 10) does not work with multiple versions of Windows (ie: cannot have a computer with Win XP and another with Win Vista connected at the same time). Thanks for the help.
Ahhh...well there you go. Glad its fixed.
Hi
Sorry to ask the question but I am hoping someone could assist as I have searched everywhere with no luck.
I got my WIFI Xoom today imported from the US to Australia. The Xoom will not connect to my NetGear Wifi Router and just keeps on trying to Authenticate.
I tried to connect to my Desire also through the Hotspot on the phone and that worked OK.
Is anyone able to assist me with troubleshooting this problem.
Much Appreciated.
Edit: Sorry Mods you can delete as the problem was solved by Netgear.
What was the solution?
I'm having the same problem with my Encore router. My laptop and iPhone connect to it just fine, but my Xoom just doesn't like it. (I've tried all sorts of configurations. SSID broadcast, different security types, etc)
Not sure this will help, but I had a similar issue with a NOOK Color. Tried connecting to a D-Link DIR-615 (Wireless-N) and experienced issues similar to what youre describing. Tried everything you described with no success. Finally changed my wireless standard to (B and G) vice (B,G,N) and the nook connected. Strange as the Nook is "N" compatible, but thats what finally got me connected.
Havent had that experience with the xoom but if your out of ideas give it a try.
my problem is my netgear router-n doesn't have that good of a connection just a room away. (It gives me two bars) At work a d- link router works great all bars. Any suggetions?
At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.
Anyone can help me. I have Sony xperia z5 dual(e6633) and i have problems in connectivity especially on wifi. It always disconnects me from the Internet after several minutes of browsing or any other activities that are using Internet. My router and signal are good there are no problems with other devices connected to my Internet. Now why is it happening to my device. Is it hardware or software issue. It is very annoying because it always disconnect from the Internet. I have to manually turn it off and on again from the setting. Plss, can anyone help me to fix this issue? I'm glad to hear it from you.
Ps: i tried everything i know, from Google to YouTube about how to fix this issue but nothing works. I also tried pc companion repair and software update but still nothing works.
I am currently running android 7.1.1.
Thank you in advance. God bless.
Try to reduce the security in your routers setting. Newer routers provide WPA2+WPA3 and one of my devices can't connect with that! I had to go back to WPA2 (CCMP) [Fritz!Box 7490]
