Tmobile Dash Wifi
Oct 2 2007, 8:46 PM EDT | Post edited: Oct 2 2007, 8:46 PM EDT
The WiFi on my dash doesn't seem to work. I connect to the network, secured i put in WEP key, everything is right, and unsecured is all good too, but when i go to internet explorer, and i type in www.google.com, it says....locating....opening....and it just keeps loading and says opening without the page ever coming up. Even if i have 4 bars, and i have fios internet so it shouldn't take long, but i left it there once, and i came back and hour later and it said, error contacting server. Although all my computers in my house work. I tried formating it and upgrading software. Nothing!
anybody know how to fix it /having the same problem? 3  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

I had the same problems as many others on this forum. I tried all the wifi setting changes and still had problems. I've researched this online for the past 6 hours and finally!!! after coming across this post on another website forum I was able to resolve my issues and actually browse the internet using Internet Explorer:

what i was suggested to try was go into the "power mode" section of the Wi-Fi Settings and change the power save mode to "Best Performance". thats basically it. after that it started working great! The only explanation i can think of is that when you have encryption or high encryption enabled it needs more horse power to keep the connection going because i was at a coffee shop that had an open / no encryption wifi network and i had the power settings on auto and it worked fine. good luck! hope it helps 1  out of 2 found this valuable.

I had the same problems and played with the settings for hour.
Then I removed the battery and reinstalled it and it is working fine now.
