Yup. I noticed tonight playing with gpsdrive (downloadingg maps) that the WLAN connection kept dropping and eventually the 770 locked up tight (is there a hard reset? I had to remove the battery).

Continuing to try to fix things here.

My 770 has gotten more and more unstable, to the point it could not keep the connection long enough to load more than a page...

I tried to reset the 770's settings, using "control panel" and re-entered my wpa key manually. This has markedly improved things at first. I was able to keep connected for 10-20 minutes. I still got intermittent connection drops, though.

Then I restored my network settings from the MMC. The connection is still relatively stable, although the browser crashes on some pages.

A few notes in the case this problem is somewhat caused by corrupted settings:
-when I first set the 770 up, everything went fine, as far as I can recall.
-my wpa key is quite long (35 characters)
-when I first got my 770, I have added and removed 5 to 10 networks to the connectivity panel (I wanted to try things).

As a next step, I will restart the machine from scratch and re-enter all data manually. I hope it will make the machine usable again.

Hi

Just wondering if people still having problems with wifi stability :rolleyes:

I just got my 770 a few days ago, when I am using the browser I get disconnected reguraly, and have to reconnect :mad:

But when using audio streaming the connection is stable. :confused:

So I can start listning to internet radio, and then using the browser with no problems.

Are others having same problems ??

My 770 loses connection 1-2 times per hour. I have to disconnect and to connect in order to have wireless connectivity again. Maybe it has to do with the idle time settings of the WLAN configuration.

Netgear WG102GR, 802.11b/g, WAP PSK
FW: 2.2005.45-7

I'm on firmware -8 and I see this with WPA-PSK, too.
I dropped down to WEP-128 and it seemed to decrease the connection negotiation time and also increase the time it'd stay connected.

I'm staying with WEP128 for a while.

First my 770 dropped frequently the WLAN connection. Made all updates: Linksys router's firmware and the 770's software. But no visible improvement.
Found, when using "G-only"-protocol setting , the 770 must be nearer than 2 m from the router to achieve a stable connection. When changed the protocol to "mixed" mode setting in the router, the droppings disappeared!
Conclusion: G-protocol is too fast or insensitive for the 770, B-protocol works fine.
Has anybody met similar experiences? I haven't seen any discussion about B/G-protocols with the 770.

I have Apple Airport Extreme as WIFI router in central location of house & have no problem. I can even "see" 2 of my neighbors' WIFI routers as well but they are locked systems & I cannot try to access them.. So yesterday I decided to test the reception. I have T-Mobie Hotspots account & can access internet from any Starbucks. I drove to one of the Starbucks in my neighborhood. l sat in the car on the far side of the parking lot & still got excellent reception. I surfed to various websites with.no problem

I use a D-Link (128 bit WEP) and it works great! I can also see four of my neighbors wireless routers (not secured) as well.

My router is set up to G only and the connection drops all the time. But in an internet cafe with B protocol, the connection dropped as well.

Now, what I have not (yet) tried is to reset the machine and go to the internet cafe. It seems that once you get the problem, the problem only gets worse, so maybe I got the problem with B protocol only because I had had it with G protocol first...

airport extreme
 

just picked up my 770 and trying to connect through my airport extreme at home (to a mac mini) - the folks at nokia are (i think erroneously) telling me that the 770 doesn't work with the airport extreme wifi but it seems to me that it's really a firewall issue. thoughts folks?
