hi,
maybe you will be able to help me, if you don't mind trying. I got my Nokia N80 a couple of months ago, and WLAN was working perfectly, at home, away (i travel a lot). I live in Canada, and I just returned home after a month in Europe (WLAN worked at the various airports and caffees). For some reasons I don't see my home WLAN any more on the list of available WLANS (I see some others in the neighborhood). At the same time it is showing on my laptop and working just fine. I have to say that while away nobody was at home and WLAN home settings were not changed at all.
I tried to read some of the forum messages here, but nothing similar to give me idea what to do.
Please help.

then press always ok
you will see a message of windows that you find a wlan if you click on the notification cloud windows will ask you log in and pass and area.
leave area vacum.
Please tell me how to connect whith my cell.
Thanks

Hi Cristalnap,
I'm gonna try this one, but do note that getting N80 to connect to complex WiFi area isn't a simple task. Do have a correct expectation.
Here goes:
1. Menu, Tools, Settings, Connection, Access points, Options, New access point, Use default settings.
2. Key in the following:
-a. Connection name: Your choice.
-b. Data bearer: Wireless LAN
-c. WLAN netw. name: Wi-Fi_UniNA
-d. Network status: This marks if the SSID is being broadcasted. If you can search and find the WiFi point before defining this access point, we can say that it is Public, if not it should be Hidden. Or, you can check this with your admin stuffs.
-e. WLAN netw. mode: Infrastructure
-f. WLAN security mode: WPA/WPA2
-g. WLAN security sett.:
--i. WPA mode: EAP
--ii. EAP plug-in settings:
---1. Disable everything except for EAP-PEAP and configure it (Options, Configure):
----a. General:
-----i. User certificate: not defined
-----ii. CA certificate: not defined
-----iii. User name in use: User-configured
-----iv. User name: Key in your user name.
-----v. Realm in use: User-configured
-----vi. Realm: Key in your realm (you seems to call it area).
----b. EAP:
-----i. Disable everything except for EAP-MSCHAPv2 and configure it (Options, Configure):
------1. User name: Key in your user name and area. E.g. user@area or area\user or area/user.
------2. Prompt password: No (Setting to yes had never worked for me. You may want to try it out. )
------3. Password: Key in your password.
--iii. TKIP encryption: Allowed
Hope this helps. Let us know the result.
Cheers.

Nokia N80 WLAN - 802.1x TLS

Hi,
I have a N80 at 3.0618.0.2 (23/05/2006, RM-92, Nokia N80 (45.02))
I want to connect to an 802.1x network that uses TLS+digital certificates.
If I go to settings->connection->Access points->New access point
I can define a new network with bearer=wlan, wlan security mode 802.1x
I can then go into WLAN security sett & under EAP plugin settings I can tick "EAP-TLS", Enable it & hit configure
I then have the option to select "User certificate", but the only option is none.
So I have to define it.
However if I go to settings->security->certif management->personal->Options I only have Help,Exit
Is this an issue where my provider (3UK) have broken 802.1x support by preventing the user from adding certificates. If so I am so so so so very very very peeved....
Or perhaps I'm just doing something wrong?
Thanks
nigel.

yes thanks, I've now managed to import a certificate just fine (with the built in file browser in fact). Just wasn't immediately obvious!
HOWEVER a bigger problem. "Scan for available networks" doesn't even list my network at work even when standing under various access points where a laptop works fine.
The network is 802.11b with open authentication and 802.1x EAP-TLS.
I can connect to home network (g WEP128) fine, can see neighbour (g WPA) and connect to public networks - Tmobile, BT openzone (not sure if g or b)
Any ideas why I wouldn't even see the network . (3.0618)

N80: WLAN problem: "Define access pts. for secure ...

Nokia N80 (black)
Firmware: 3.0617.0.6
I have problems getting on the WLAN. Here is a step-by-step description of what I do:
First:
1) "Connect." -> "Conn. mgr" -> "Availab. WLAN"
2) Mark "HQ" WLAN
3) "Options" -> "Define access point"
4) Answer "Yes" to "Define internet access point for WLAN network "HQ"?
5) Get the message: "Define access pts. for secure WLAN networks in 'Access points' in conn. settings."
Then:
6) "Tools" -> "Settings" -> "Connection" -> "Access points"
7) "Options" -> "New access point" -> "Use default settings"
8) Write "HQ" in the "Connection name" field.
9) "Data bearer": "Wireless LAN"
10) "WLAN netw. name": "HQ"
11) "Network status": "Public"
12) "WLAN netw. mode": "Infrastructure"
13) "WLAN security mode": "WPA/WPA2" (the WLAN is using "WPA-PSK")
14) "WLAN securoty settings" sub-menu:
- "WPA mode": "Pre-shared key"
- Pre-shared key": the correct one (verified with laptop connection)
- "TKIP encryption": I have tried both "Allowed" and "Not allowed".
15) Homepage: "None".
When I go back and go through steps 1-5 again, I get the exact same message.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone give please me a _really_ detailed step-by-step guide for how to do this?
I have been able to use gcalsync (www.gcalsync.com) with the same "HQ" WLAN, but then it is gcalsync that asks for SSID and key. So: The WLAN works, I just don't understand how to set it up.
I will be very, very grateful if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

Hi Chrlov,
An example of my set up based on my old Linksys router.
1. Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points.
2. Select Options > New access point > Use default settings.
3. Give a name to 'Connection name'. In my case, 'Home WLAN'.
4. Change 'Data bearer' to 'Wireless LAN'.
5. Change 'WLAN netw. name' to the SSID I had set up on my Linksys router. In my case, some thing like 'gen1xxxxhomewireless' (this is not the real one, censored by me. LOL)
6. Since my SSID is hidden, I change 'Network status' to 'Hidden'.
7. My Linksys had WEP set up (and that it is permanent). So I leave 'WLAN netw. mode' and 'WLAN security mode' as 'Infrastructure' and 'WEP' respectively.
8. I set up WEP security settings in 'WLAN security sett.'
a. Since I'm using key 3, I change 'WEP key in use' to '#3'.
b. I leave 'Authentication type' as the default of 'Open'.
c. I key in all 4 keys in 'WEP key settings'. Since I'm using 64-bit hexadecimal key, I set 'WEP encryption' to '64 bits' and 'WEP key format' to 'Hexadecimal'.
Hope this is a good reference.
Good luck and cheers. ^_^;

Nokia N80 startup problem

hello everyone. i have recently bought a nokia n80. i have been uploading new themes on my cellphone and one of the themes messed up the screen. so i turned off and on my cellphone and this message pops up. it says "Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer." can someone please help me fix this problem. i just had my cellphone for least then 1 month. i do appreciate if someone can help me solve this problem.
thank you.

You will need to take this to a Nokia Care Point.
Once your phone is giving the message "contact the retailer" its a fatal error.
You have already lost all phone contents not saved to sim and MMC.
You can find your nearest NCP to you at the Store Locator
Also from the IMEI you gave, your handset holds no warranty in the EU.
It was a handset which was produced in Nigeria.
You will only be able to get that fixed there.

ANOTHER NOKIA C3 WLAN PROBLEM

Ok, I'm not able to choose wlan or gprs internet but untill I was trying to open the Internet via WLAN tel says 'service not available''.'' activating default in all applications'' does not work, simply because it's getting back all my options from WEB and I''m connecting the Int via gprs again. What should I do? any ideas? maybe it's all about my router or so? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi, this is Paulo Bral™,
I recently got an Nokia C3-00 mobile, and I faced so many problems with Wi-FI connection of this phone that I decided to share my experience with you guys.
I am going to write here the definitive guide to fix all WLAN problems you may encounter (and this is something that not even Nokia Support was able to do) - are you ready?
First of all, I am assuming you have the knowledge about Wi-Fi networking (SSIDs, Channels, Security, and all the terms related to setting up a decent Wi-Fi connection), second, you need to have full acess to your router, as we will configure everything from the ground, third and last you will need a tool called InSSIDer from Meta Geeks (Google it) to perform diagnostic tasks explained below.
Analyzing the networks around you
First off, you need to spend some time running the tool InSSIDer on your PC to collect data from Wi-Fi networks around you as they may be the cause of your connection problems. We will use these 2 visualizations: "Time Graph" and "2.4GHz Channel" to monitor the networks around - if you dont know what you are doing, better close this page and start running away.
Configuring the router
After collecting data from the networks around, now it's time to set up our router. I found out that I have other 15 networks around me, and I found out here that most of them were using Channel 6, the same I was using. Also some of them are using the Channel 9 and 11. In this case, I set my router to use the Channel 1, as nobody were using it and it is also far away from other Channels being used. After some time collecting data, you will be able to see which Channel has no user or less users, and you must choose it. The security of you WLAN is your choice, as it does not have any side effects. I suggest using WPA2 as it is the most secure of the 3 this mobile supports. BTW, don't ask me how to configure your router, ask Google for it!
Testing WLAN connectivity
Now it's time to test WLAN connectivity with your reconfigured router. Try opening some pages, try watching YouTube videos... If your mobile is working OK, with no connection errors or timeouts, your problem was only the interference caused by networks around. But, if you still experience problems like timeouts or errors opening pages and YouTube videos, you need to continue to the next step.
Using router QoS and Static IP
If you have an very fast internet (10MBPS+) you will need to slow things down, as this cell phone does not really support fastest internet speeds, now you have to know your cell MAC address, make it use an Static IP, and configure QoS to reduce the downstream speed on the cell phone IP to 3MBPS max speed - BTW, not all routers supports this, if yours don't support it, get another router, I recommend Cisco or LinkSyS.
Still having problems
The above steps solved my problem for a while, as the phone were working a little better with my Wi-Fi, yet I experienced some timeouts and errors opening pages. Now the next step will require a PC connected to your network and this will reduce to ZERO the timeouts and errors opening pages.
Keeping the Connection Alive - for bad routers
If you have a generic (not Cisco or LinkSyS) cheap bad router, you will need this step! I noticed that even when the cell phone were showing the Wireless icon, the LED indicating Wireless on my router was not always turned on, so I understood my router was like "ignoring" the cell phone connection and just stopped responding to its calls. To fix this bad router behaviour, you will need a PC connected to your network, and prepare yourself to laugh: All you need to do is "keep pinging" the cell phone IP as this will keep it connection alive. The simplest way is to create a .BAT file with these 3 lines inside:
:autoping
ping <cell phone IP>
goto autoping
Now save it on your desktop, use anyname.bat as you wish - now run it and connect your cell phone to the WLAN. You will notice the difference, as it will work so stable like if it were connected using LAN cable!!! You will never have connection problems again!
Well, that is it, following this guide your cell phone will never have WLAN problems again (well, at least on your WLAN).
Best regards,
Paulo Bral™

Nokia N8 WLAN problem

Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been covered!
I'll keep it simple....Nokia N8, had it connected to my home broadband router yesterday no problems, disconnected it overnight and today when I go to the 'WLAN wizard' section (in settings), it shows my router as a known network, I go to connect and it says connection failed and goes back to 'known network'. As far as I know I haven't changed any settings on my phone since I was connected to it so not sure why this is happening. Grateful for any suggestions!

hi,
I've got exactly the same problem.
*I tried changing my routers wireless security settings from WPA to WEP which temporarily solved the problem. Then all of a sudden it starts failing to connect.
*Changed it to no security, didn't work
*Tried disabling power saving mode, didn't work.
Called up the Orange customer support and they advised me to stay away from this phone as its seriously faulty, and that was from 2nd line support (not first).
if anyone has any other solutions that might work please let me know.

Nokia n97 wlan problems

pleas help)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Aurora,
Thank you for your first post and a big welcome to the Nokia discussion forums. And no need to apologise for your English its perfectly fine!
What I would suggest is to try the following:
Firstly remove the wireless connection from your phone and reset the router then try reconnecting. Also please clear all the cache from the web browser.
If this doesn't reset the phone by doing a soft reset by typing *#7780# (Please remember to back up your phone) and then try reconnecting.
If this doesn't work then please try a hard reset by typing *#7370# (Again please make sure you have backed up your phone!!).
Just to mention if your phone asks for a security code then the default code 12345.
Let me know if any of the above helps if not then please let me know and I shall endeavourer to think of some more potential troubleshooting we could try.
Regards

Nokia 5530 wlan problem

when I want to connect to a wlan it says that a connection is allready active and i need to close it to connect but no connection is active.I hard reseted it and puted the new softwere on but still the same problem,can you put a smile on my face?

Com on? Oke, boss. I begin to think it's not your 5530 but your router or accesspoint. Check for MAC filtering and reset the router/accesspoint. If that doesn't work, we run out of options and you've to think bringing your device in for service.

Really annoying Nokia 500 WLAN problem

I'm with Three in the UK, to use their Planet3 service I have to connect to the website by using the 3G connection, but whatever settings I use the 500 turns on the WLAN and connects through that so I can't access Planet3 - I've gone through all the settings I can find and set them to never connect, always ask, manual etc and disconnected from the WLAN manually but as soon as I try connecting with 3G it turns WLAN on without asking - anything I can do apart from deleting the WLAN settings completely? On my old X6 WLAN off mean't it was off and i got a box asking if i wanted WLAN, WAP or internet, can't seem to get anything like this on the 500.
Cheers

Hello shauniow, did you check the default connection in use option? Go to settings>connectivity>settings>destinations>options>default connection>in this set the one that contains your 3G access point.

Nokia x6 wlan problem

when me go to wlan it whole time searching for wlan network but it does not stop searching. 5 hour gone searching. Please help to make it right.

Could only suggest that you backup device data using Nokia Suite and reset by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user). Then try device after restoring "Contacts" and "Messages" if you want but NOT "Settings" as may re-introduce corruption.
Failing that try option to re-install existing device software within Nokia Suite > Tools > Software updates.
