My Captivate WAS connecting to our home wifi network when I bought the thing three days ago, and now it is NOT connecting. Wifi is ON, the network is showing, the password is correct (changed NOTHING since it worked earlier), and the word "Scanning" pops up from time to time, but the Wifi status keeps showing "Disconnected." I have no idea what rooting or settings.db are, or where to find them, and therefore have changed none of these that I know of on this brand-new phone. I have not done any unlocking or sideloading or anything else. But the wifi was connecting, and now it is not.
When I select our home network from the list (there are two listed, but the other one is elsewhere, not in range), a dialoge box pops up, signal shows as "Good." I hit "Connect," but nothing happens. Wifi status still reads "Disconnected," even after several minutes.
There is a "WPS button connection" option, so I thought I'd try that. If I hit it, I get a meter that shows progress of something, and the message says "Press WPS on your Wifi access point within 2 minutes." WHAAAA??? I do not have (that I know of) a WPS to "press." My Netgear router has no such button. And I didn't have to TOUCH the router previously, when the phone wifi WAS connecting. Why is it not connecting automatically now, like it was a couple of day ago?
If this were a laptop, I'd delete my home network, and then re-enter it, but there appears to be no way to do that, either. I
