Also, the various ways to troubleshoot the connectivity issues between a Router and the Nokia 770 can be found on this very Forum. It is possible that you may have to update the Firmware of the Router and also figure out the correct Channel number on the Router that works with the Nokia 770.
I'm running IT OS2006 3.2006.49-2 on the 770 and the latest firmware on the Netgear (wgr614v6_2_0_13_1_0_13na.chk). I followed the steps on that webpage and still have the same problem: local-link. My AP is four bars green but seldom connects wit the 770 properly. I've been able to connect every once in a long while and it's so inconsistent that it's frustrating. I've had success with AP's around town, so it might be a 770/Netgear issue, but how do I go about diagnosing/fixing it?

As for the Channel, how do I tell what my neighbors are using? My area is definitely wi-fi rich (mostly locked though). What does moving to another Channel gain me when I already have four green bars? Better through-put? Or an actual chance at consistent connections?

I've been following the Forum threads on local-link issues and it doesn't seem resolved for everyone.

Thanks for the response!
