New Nokia N8 : Crashes WIFI

Dear all,

First and foremost, hello. I have been a Nokia user all my life. I recently bought a Nokia N8 to add it to my E-Series fleet (E70/72/75/90). I have huge problems with this device. It barely connects to my wifi and when it does it crashes the whole network. What happens is the following :

1. Configure my wifi via the N8. I am using WPA2 encryption.
2. It says connected, when I want to browse, I get an error to connect via my GSM provider. On top of that, the N8 displays a network not found message. So I have to reconnect manually.
3. When the N8 connects to my router and keeps the connection, it crashes the whole network. Every other device connected gets kicked out and internet does not work anymore. As soon as I disconnect the N8 everything turns back to normal.


Note: The E70/72/75/90 and iPhone 4 I have do not have these issues. 5 year old phones work better than the current Nokia N8?

This is a brand new phone and I am not happy with it.

hi!
to check if it's a problem of your router, you could try to connect to another WLAN in another place. I hope you solve your problem.

My N8 reliably crashes my WiFi router whenever I stream video. It works fine for about a minute, then the router "disappears" from all connected devices and I have to cycle power on the thing.  The router is a Huawei something that our provider (Romtelecom) forced on me when I subscibed to their Internet service.  Maybe I'll try reinstalling my good old D-Link someday...
