Alternatively you can upload the capture to a webserver, send the link to this mailing list and I can take a look. (I don't generally give private support, I only answer questions in public mailing lists.) My first guess would be that your Access Point does not support WLAN Power Save Mode properly. 770 uses Power Save Mode and it's not widely used yet. Especially the older APs seem to be more buggy than the newer ones. Is it possible to switch off WLAN Power Save Mode? There's no easy solution with 770, sorry. And besides, if you disable WLAN Power Save Mode the battery will run out within few hours. I would recommend trying with another AP first. Most of the APs support WLAN Power Save Mode properly. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

When I just browse Internet it works fine. I don't see any problems. But the application for smart home needs to have a strong connection between device and core server. If the device lost it by some reason in short period - about one minute, the application crashes. I played with both Nokia770 and N800. N800 works much more stable than Nokia770.

Re: Nokia 770 periodically lose WiFi connection
I just got back the replacement 770 from Nokia and while testing it yesterday I noticed the 802.11 signal was showing very low even when I was in the same desk as the AP. I took my laptop and 770 to the living room and even when the laptop showed excellent connection, the 770 lost connection and couldn't find the AP. Is something like a setting a tweak or trick to enhance signaling management on the 770? I tried changing from 10mW to 100mW and viceversa without any effect.
