Wifi problem, "invalid network settings" on my TH55

[marioeva]

Yesterday, everything is right. I can vist websites, HotSync with my laptop, and use smbmate to copy files.

But today, after the netfront showed "invalid network settings", I cannot use the wifi function on my TH55 anymore.

I searched the internet and found this forum. I tried many ways, reseting the linksys router, hardreset my TH55, using statisc IP instead of DHCP. They're all useless.

Can anyone do me a favor?

Have you tried deleting all of the netfront files? Using Filez or cliefiles find all of the files that begin w/ NF3. Don't delete the nf3bookmark file, it contains all of your bookmarks. Don't delete the history file for the same reason, but delete all of the others.
I have had to do this everyonce in a while to reset Netfront to factory settings.

I tried your way, but still useless.

Then I changed the wireless TX Rates to "1-2Mbps" on the linksys configuration page. After this, everything is ok. I can access the internet again through th55. But the connection speed is 2M not 11M.

If I changed the TX Rates back to "1-2-5.5-11 MBps", "invalid network settings" appeared again.

I have just mailed to Linksys to complain about this. Maybe it's time for me to buy a 54M router.

When I had this last, searching through the forums I read in a thread that repairing the network connection sometimes works - which it did for me. It does assume of course that you connect OK to your WiFi first.

You might like to try connecting first through Prefs, then looking at the log file to confirm you have an IP address & all is well. You can also enter ping commands in this screen as well.
