My N900 can no longer detect my home internet router, it worked yesterday and the day before to connect to the net using my phone, but has suddenly stopped-it simply states it cannot find any of my saved net connections, despite the wifi settings being the same and still saved in my phone. I know the router is working and using the same settings as saved in my phone, as I am connecting to the router right now to use this laptop online.

One thing notable is that although my phone cannot even list my working connection, it keeps listing all the neighbours own routers.. around 8... then they disappear and the list starts again - too many routers on at once perhaps?... and/or a N900 bug? I will try later on but its been like this all day.

Try to restart the router?

restart router.

99% of the times it's the routers fault. I have the same problem with my laptop and my phone. From time to time it decides not to show on one of the devices.

Also try restarting the N900.

Ive tried restarting the router and phone 3 times now, no change, "no saved connections available", yet its listing/relisting all the neighbours home hubs. Ive also tried switching the router on to connect before switching on the phone itself, and vice versa, but that makes no difference either. Eventually it states "network connection error. try again?". Perhaps I could try deleting my saved connection settings, but if the hub still doesnt show then Im stuck.

Its probably a phone bug with too many neighbours routers on at once for the phone to handle, with it constantly re-listing everyone, but the only odd thing is if it was that, my home hub never shows, despite the "connected" light being on the hub itself and working on here using the laptop. the only thing i can probably do now is to try later on, if far less hubs are on and it works then its probably too many causing the problem. If it was the routers fault then surely it wouldnt work with the laptop either

I have a cheap free Talk Talk router, so I guessed it could also be the router - I managed to eventually (just over 3 mins ago) get it to detect the router, by searching using my phone at the extact same time as switching on the router, standing right beside it! it then appears in the phone list. still odd though how it was working for the last couple days, yet today nothing would appear at all. it still does not connect, the phone lists the router but there is no signal according to the phone, despite it being fine on the laptop

update - i constantly clicked on the talk talk router now listed in the phone, and the signal strength got stronger and stronger - its now working.... hmmmm. will also test the mobile tomorrow to see if it connects or still plays up

I have since this afternoon EXACTLY the same problem. The connection (simple Motorola Surfboard cable modem connected to an Apple Airport) works perfectly fine on my laptop, but is suddenly not seen anymore by the N900. My network doesn't show up on my phone, although it does list all the neighbours' connections.
All was still OK last night, I did not make any changes on my phone since.
I deleted my connection on the phone & re-entered it, I rebooted the phone & the router, but no improvements: the N900 simply can't see it.

What to do? Who can help me?

My Airport is now set at Channel 13 (Automatic). What channel should I change this to? And why? In other words: what effect does it have?

Can affect signal, I'm not sure how does the autom. channel pick work. Anyway, I've set this manually. Try different channels?
