I can't get online or download my email. I think my grandkids may have changed some setting. I can do it by connecting to wifi but that's it. How do I fix this

Are you using an app to access your email?

further isolate the problem:

1. is the nook the only device that can connect wirelessly?
2. Make sure that the Password or the Network key is correct.
3. turn off/on the router and the nook
4. 'forget the network' on the wifi section on the nook
5. last recourse is to change the wireless settings (WEP) or do a firmware upgrade on the router.
-note that changing wireless settings will affect all your wifi devices. this means that you need to reconnect each one of them. if you have a lot, better think twice and just call tech support for further assistance

Has this ever worked and now something's changed, or have you never been able to make it work, please?

As far as I know, access points support Wi-Fi wireless communication standards through i have encountered such kind of problems like you. Maybe you can reset the Access Point from the very beginning, hope it will be done... And if you think it's necessary to know WIFI and Access Point better, there is an article for you" http://goodrouterswitch.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-is-access-point-and-how-to.html"
Good luck!

The problem is the fact the nintendo ds only supports only one security setting which is 128 bit wep. You were probaly trying to connect to a modem with wpa2 or something else. If you want your ds to connect, consult your modem's manual to change the security to 128 Bit WEP and think of a ten character password (no less or it won't work).

If its an iPhone, when you have to go to Settings, Wi-Fi, turn it on and then connect to your Wi-Fi.

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

Hi,


Here's how to connect online using wifi on your phone:

• Make sure you already are in a WiFi hotspot area.
• Once you are in a wifi hotspot, Go to Menu option and then proceed to Wifi.
• Switch on Wifi .
• Automatically your phone will detect wifi
• If doesn't show any wireless network , click search.
• If no name appears WiFi hotspot, means you're less close to the hotspot or hotspot for WIFI
  
• If there is, Just simpy choose the network and Click Connect.
• After notice that the wifi connection is connected, open web browser or Opera Mini or chat applications such as eBuddy or Nimbuzz.

Hello,

It is safe enough to use as when you enter an online banking login page the encryption protocol starts, hence why you see 'https://' instead of 'http://'. Also the only way someone could monitor your keystrokes is if they installed a keylogger which is unlikely and also isn't that good at getting your password. For example Natwest makes you both click on a list and enter via keyboard to login.

Are you able to surf the net using the WiFi (when the evdo connection has been closed via comm manager)?

If you're online with WiFi, but can't send email (yet you can receive), I'm guessing that the WiFi's internet connection may be the culprit...
You see, many ISPs have outgoing mail filters in place so that viruses and the like can't send out spam from multiple computers.
For example, my provider is optimum online, and they only allow outgoing mail traffic on port 25 (the standard pop3 outgoing port) if it is going to mail.optonline.com.
All you have to do then, is change your outgoing mail server to optonline, and you're all set (note this doesn't change your email address... all outgoing mail servers are the same, you can use whichever you want and it won't have any effect on your name or anything). Every optonline user in my area knows about this by now.

Problem is, then you can't send email from EVDO because optonline isn't accessible from there.
I chose to only send and receive email from the EVDO connection (you can set this somewhere, although I don't remember where), so even when using Wifi, outlook is using the cellular connection.

Alternatively, you can use an exchange server which won't have this problem (since it doesn't send outgoing mail directly, but rather syncs with a server which then sends your mail). special thanks to: dishe
