Okay so the N900 is meant to have 'seamless switching from cellular data to Wi-Fi'. This happened to me for like all of 2 days and now it will switch from Wi-Fi to 3G but not from 3G to Wi-Fi .

The only way to make it use Wi-Fi after switching to 3G is to manually disconnect 3G/connect Wi-Fi.

Any Suggestions?

If you use WPA (secure connection) for WiFi than it is have bug with it (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3399).

You have "Switch to WLAN when available" enabled from Settings -> Internet Connections?

After enabling that the N900 should switch back to WLAN connection on the next search (notice the "Search interval" setting).

[edit] exept the bug mentioned before. But that applies only to WPA-Enterprise

That has without a doubt solved the issue lol...

I recently changed search interval to 60minutes to preserve battery! Obviously it's this which is causing it and I'm gonna switch it back to 5-10 minutes :-)

Thanks!
