Everytime I try to turn wifi on with a toggle it turns it on BUT wont connect to my saved network. I have to open it thru wifi settings then it says "not in range" but then quickly connects. No matter what app I use or how long I wait it never works......
 
I'm having exactly the same problem and it is extremely annoying! My security is WPA2/PSK encryption. I'm going to change that up a little and see if anything changes.

Same encryption here and my Linksys WRT54G works like a champ. Couple things to perhaps try are update the router firmware and if there's an option in the router's interface program to add a MAC addy to always allow connect or similar. If nothing else, maybe even set a schedule to allow access and make it 24/7 365.

Phone's MAC found at Settings > About Phone > Hardware Information

Just a thought.

hmm, interesting. If I had any idea what you were talking about, I might have some incentive to do this lol.
