WiFi Connection on the Nokia E61

I have an unlimited dataplan with my carrier, Cingular, so up until now I haven't paid much attention to WiFi. Come to think of it, the Nokia E61 is the first smartphone that I have had that has WiFi built in. It's never been a feature that I have prioritized but since it now is part of the Nokia E61 I thought I should try it out a bit more.

I had no problems getting connected to a Linksys router and an Apple Airport Express. I tried it with and without WEP and it worked fine. I also tried it on a couple of networks in nearby coffee shops without as much as a glitch. There is a public network that I sometimes use that gives me a lot of problem when I bring my Apple PB but it worked fine with the Nokia E61.

I found that the connection manager that comes with the device works great as a WiFi Locator. I also tried PsiLoc's HotSpot Finder but preferred the simple interface of the native Connection Manager. Not only is it easier to use but it is also free - hard to beat that.

At a glance you can see the name of the network, strength of the network signal and wether it is an open network or not.

I've had problems with WLAN on my E65 too - I've connected to lots of open & community networks, and to one WPA secured WLAN, but I can't connect to a 64 bit shared key WEP secured WLAN at work.

I've downloaded IfInfo.sis from tinyhack.com (you have to enable install of unsigned applications in App. mgr. before this will install). This lets me see the IP settings of my phone (you must quit the browser without closing it, e.g. via the phone menu key, then the network stays connected). On the problem network, the phone picks up a local IP address and local DNS server addresses, but it won't pick up a gateway or netmask address (they stay at zeros). I'm comparing the settings my phone picks up with the ones my PC picks up on the same network - the phone misses some, even though it gets some others.

If you install this, email me via Yahoo, I'd like to find out you have exactly the same problem.
