I have indeed experienced the same bug on 3 different networks now. But i am beginning to think it is an issue with the router... let me explain why.

After i reproduce the error message: "there is a problem with the network connection" by taking my N9 out of range and then back into range....i restart my N9. after reboot, the error remains!

the only way to remove the error is by restarting the router...

i have reset factory settings and reflashed all firmwares in the past.
im still wondering why it seems like Matt and i are the only people experiencing this :(

You're not the only one. I have this bug since PR 1.0 with my D-Link router. The annoying is that sometimes it connected immediately and sometimes there is now way than reboot the router.

so im in, lol, its an annoying bug

Re: N9 WiFi error : "Something's wrong with the network connection"

Okay so I've just tested my N9 on d-link router. The problem cannot be replicated.this is most certainly a router problem. Fixed. I Can't believe it was my router the whole time. :-)

Re: N9 WiFi error : "Something's wrong with the network connection"

To everyone having this issue, i think i may have solved it.

Please keep in mind that every router is different so i cant give you specific instructions, but ill do my best to make the instructions clear.

Heres what i did:

step 1: open your router's web interface on your PC (consult with the router's user manual to find out how this is done)

step 2: enable "advanced settings" mode, and enter the configuration page

step 3: navigate to your WLAN settings page

step 4: change your wifi security to WPA-PSK

step 5: Look for a setting, or menu called "DHCP server" or something similar. sometimes a sub-menu under "LAN"

step 6: Disable the DHCP server. (please note that by disabling this setting, your router will no longer assign your N9, or any other wireless device, with an IP address....you will have to change the settings on your N9 and give it a static IP. you will need to know your network's settings for this)

step 7: save settings on router and restart.

Step 8: enjoy a problem-free wifi connection!

:-D

please let me know if you need any assistance. ill do my best to try and help

Re: N9 WiFi error : "Something's wrong with the network connection"

most of the time, this is router/AP fault. hardly client's fault..

one of suggestion to eliminate this problem is to lessen the lease time of dhcp record kept in the router/AP

If it isn't client's fault, why my laptop has a perfect connection all the time while the N9 keeps on whining about something being wrong?

I find it also quite frustrating that the error message is 'something wrong', as it could simply say what's the problem!

However, throughout the whole duration my n900 not for a single second drops the connection and even doing a disconnect and re-connect wouldn't affect the connection; it works flawlessly.

A router restart fixes things up...
