1.- Delete the access point (the network connection for your WIFI) on your N9.
2.- Restart your router (only this time it will be necessary).
3.- Edit your Networks on N9, look for your SSID, use Easy Configuration, the One Click or One Button Option on both your Router and N9.
4.- Let the connection happen, it may take a while.

For some reason this worked when manual config failed, I had never used this option before since I had no need for it.
My guess for why other devices seem to work and N9 fails to connect is that it somehow gets stuck trying to get the last IP it had used, even when you manually configure another one, and the router trying to give it another one is what causes the error. At least this is what I could gather from the router logs.

One last thing, I don't know if this matters or not but after I deleted my network connection I got the device to try and use another restricted Wifi network that appeared in my vicinity, just to see if that would clear the IP address thing and then I did the One Button setup from the router.


Edit: I did this a week ago and have not had any more trouble nor had to restart my router since then, even if my brother is connected to the network.

I wish if you can elaborate the 3rd step in detail about 'looking for SSID, and One Click or One Button Option'.
What exactly I should do on my N9 and the router to get it done ?
Since I m not so tech-savvy, still would like to explore and resolve this with your help....

Thanks again......

This is often called Push-Button-Method or One Push Setup, it varies( you can search for WPS on google to learn more about this).

On N9 go to Settings--->Internet connection--->Connect To internet--> Wait for your network to appear-->Select it,
If the Push-Button-Method is supported/allowed by your router it will give you that option along with another PIN method option, or you can skip Easy Configuration entirely by setting up you preshared WAP or WEP key.
Now, you must push the button on your router (or activate the function via the web UI) and then select the Push-Button-Method on N9 as well, this will create the connection for you.

The one problem you might encounter with this is that not every router has this option enabled because of security reasons (when this happens the N9 skips this entirely and only gives you the option to enter the WEP/WAP Key) and there are still some that don't support it but most linksys i have seen do support it.

Also it could be your network is acting up...I had the same issue regularly...Called my ISP over and after they changed the access point it works well now...
