Also you can see what are the configurations in your PC (if you have such) connected to your router. Maybe your router was set to coding (wpa, wpa2, wep), which N900 can not handle. In this case - you should make new router settings, which are compatible with N900.

Let's just clear up this misinformation right way before anyone starts broadcasting data without encryption. The N900 does support WEP, WPA and WPA2. Of course only WPA2 is recommended.

And you would still see the wfi broadcast and you could potentially even still connect to it, you just wouldnt get an IP address

Encryption doesnt hide the SSID or stop you from seeing any broadcasting SSID's

i ve got a philips one. So , i guess that the n900 cant see all channels. but i still wonder why i could see my wireless homenetwork, before the restart and extraction of the sim.( i didnt change anything on the router)
