Blackberry WiFi Problems

Leaving in 2 hours….. Excited!

But not as panicky as when i realized that my WiFi on the 9700 is was condemned. Threw the problem to the genius of a boyfriend, but turns out that he couldn’t solve it either, even after with Google’s help. : <

It kept giving me error messages. "Failed to get IP" was the main reason. Tinkered with the phone, played with router options.... None works.

He went off to sleep (he prob stayed up for 1.5 hrs just to try solving this problem for me) and when i clicked on one of the pages he was google-ing and scrolled further down, I saw a solution/suggestion which looked interesting and try-able. And it works! At least for me.

So for all of you who have problems with your BB's WiFi, now you can solve it! Basically, you need to register your WiFi with BlackBerry.

Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Register WiFi (60)

Hover over WiFi (60), click the menu button and select REGISTER.

You gotta have your mobile network on while doing this. Then when it registers, turn off your Mobile Network (Under Manage Connections) and TADAH! It WORKS!

I can receive push mail, tweet, fb, and even BBIM using this! Awesomeness. Now I won’t have to get charged using Roaming/BIS overseas. So, YES! You can connect to BIS using just WiFi!

Wheeeeeeeeee. Now, to test if it works on Japan’s networks…… I believe it does lah, 3G!

I <3 Google!
