Nokia N95 wireless connection problem

[azzy]

Hi

I have a nokia n95 and i am trying to setup the phone to work with my wireless router at home, the phone can find my router when it does a WLAN scanning, I have also typed in the security key as well. The problem is when i click on the web icon or the "0" button to access the internet i get a error message saying:

1: Web: Unable to connect
2: No gateway

Please help on this matter. Thanks

Define the WLAN access point proper in menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points

And in the browser (Web) change Options > Settings > General > Access point to either "Always ask", or the access point you created.

And if your WLAN router is configured to require the MAC address of your phone, then it is printed on the label under the battery, or you can see it by "dialing" *#MAC WLAN# ( which is the same as *#62209526# ).

Thanks for the info, I havent tried the last piece of info regarding the mac address, I will try it tonight and i will post the result, question is this gateway bit anything to with the network provider, i am with o2

With WLAN, it shouldn't have anything to do with O2.

I have exactly the same problem. I also have the problem that when I quit out of Web browser the wireless network doesn't disconnect. I then go to connection manager to disconnect it manually and the whole phone freezes!!

Another Reboot!

My problem was solved by resetting my router, now i can connect to the net via my phone, I have also set it up to make voip calls using the truphone software, works a treat.

Oh nooooooo. I have never realised that. I have that code saved in about 84 different places on various computers, phones and USB sticks. Now you tell me that it's just *#mac_wlan#. Right, because you kept that information to yourself, and because I'm soooooo dumb, you are charged with rooting out all instances of the numeric code in my house and erasing them. You'll be round in....?

You should have asked me, and I would've told it.

Hi Guys, wondering if you can help me to get WiFi to work. Just got a Nokia N95 on Vodafone on Monday and i cant seem to get WiFi to work. This is the first time ever ive actually used something to do with WiFi so im prolly making a mistake somewhere.

I have a 10mbit NTL broadband connection going through my Linksys WRT54GS router. Ive tried a number of things and none have worked. Heres some pictures of my router setup page located at http://192.168.1.1/.

Image 1 (Ive tested changing the wireless network mode to B/G and Mixed and none work + tried nearly every channel with no luck) - http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/3050/router1gl6.jpg
Image 2 (Ive tried 3 different Security modes - WEP - WPA Personal & WPA Personal 2 and none work) http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/4360/router2cc4.jpg
Image 3 (Here ive added my N95's mac code to the list which i blurred out and have triple checked it to make sure and its right, ive turned this mode on/off with no luck) - http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/9908/router3fm8.jpg
Image 4 (Havn't touched anything on these settings) - http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/5066/router4ep9.jpg

Ive reset my N95 to factory settings and my router but it didnt make a difference. There is a orange light on the front of my linksys on when the wireless is enabled. Right now using the settings in the images below ive done the following on my N95:

Flipped it up and it says "WLAN network found"
Next i go onto the main menu and scroll down to 'Tools'
Then down to 'WLAN Wiz'
Selecting that it scans for access points and says its found 1 which is 'ntl10mb' which is my router
So i click the top left key to go into options and selected 'Define access point'
It now asks for the Pre-Shared key for WLAN' which to my image below is 'testing123' so i enter that in and again top left key to OK and get 'ntl10mb access point defined' message
And it now says my connection is known.
So i just select top left key again and go to 'Start web browsing'
It then says 'Connecting via 'ntl10mb'' and after about 20seconds that little message goes and its just a white page loading, then after nothing loading for about 30seconds it says 'Web: No gateway reply'

This is so annoying, i was on my way back from work yesterday and i managed to make it work in the city center because it found a free wifi hotspot and let me surf around. I came home and tried but wouldn't work so i thought it was my router or something but both my N95 and router work find. I know this because last night for about 5minutes my WiFi on my N95 actually connected to my router and it let me surf around then says 'Lost connection' and hasn't worked since.

Can someone please help me? I dont know if im doing something wrong or what

I have had most of the problems mentioned on this thread with my Orange Livebox. I solved it by a) deleting all the access points I made on the N95 b) turning the Livebox firewall off c) turning all security off on the Livebox d) switch livebox off.

Switch Livebox on then I reconfigured the Livebox via pc and set WEP and Firewall on, switch Livebox to pairing mode. Now connect with phone and enter WEP. Job done.

Now when pairing mode switches off on Livebox I can connect with the phone no problems provided I enter the WEP key. I can also now change the security level on the Livebox and not get any problems trying to connect the phone.

If you had it working then it sounds like you have the settings correct. You might want to try rebooting your router. Its a bit wierd that it worked for a bit and then didn't.

I can't see that you're doing anything obvisouly wrong, but maybe someone else has a suggestion.

The first time you connect to the livebox you need to press the number 1 on the side on the box, to put it in pairing mode. then connect it with the phone by entering the WPA key on the bottom of the box on your phone.

anyone managed to find a real solution to this issue?

i mean a direct connection to the router, not through livebox
