Problem connecting to Wifi after update of firmware to 6.0.B.3.184

xperience — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 05:50:07 GMT

After the update to firmware version 6.0.B.3.184 I am not able to connect to Wifi anymore. Before the update this was no problem. I have seen more discussion on the forum around this subject without a possible solution. The telephone tries to continuously connect to the Wifi spot (connecting, getting IP-adress, etc and then in a continous loop), but without any success.

What to do? For a smartphone to me, it is rather useless to have no access to wifi.

The tips below, do also not provide the solution.

Have a look at the tips in this thread first of all and let me know if it helped or not.

Found some posts with possible solutions in order to overcome this problem. Although it does not solve the problem but rather deals with the problem. Have not tried it myself so far.

Set my router settings to:

Network mode: Wireless B/G only (instead of mixed) of the 2.4 Ghz

Just to be sure, I have chosen a broadcast channel below 11, but I think it didn't make a difference in my case.

My router is a Cisco Linksys E4200 (5Gz & 2.4 Ghz).

The above worked to obtain a stable wifi connection after the firmware upgrade to version 6.0.B.3.184.

I hope this is of some help to you people with the same issues.

Although this should not be necessary with a brand like Sony!
