Sorry to hear the problems you are experiencing. I remember the previous post, but quite frankly, you have listed everything I would have suggested!:angry: Hopefully, someone with network/router knowledge will post this time around. It sounds like you modulated the problem, although temporarily, with clearing the cache twice. I would try this again and see if you get the same results. That bit of info might help someone more knowledgeable than me!! I am sure sooner or later it will be resolved, hopefully sooner as I would also hate to eat through all my data allowance with a unusable wi-fi sitting right next to me. Good luck!!

If your router is an older model, say 5-6 years old, you may need a newer one. My old Linksys router would connect to my Xbox, but not my computer. I could get the computer to connect every now and then, but it was not stable. It usually involved having to unplug and replug the router and reset my my wireless adapter. I ended up replacing it and have not had a problem since. I don't know if that will help you, but it may be worth a try.

Happens with my Netgear WNDR3400. Not an old router! I travel, and notice this often happens. Not a lover of the Razr Wifi.
I remember clearing the cache prior to ICS, but forgot process. Any help is appreciated.

What type of security settings do you have on your router. I use WPA2-PSK and all works great for me.

You also need to be careful when typing in your security key and make sure every letter, number and character is typed in correctly and case correct.

Finally, I read somewhere in the past that not all routers support symbols in their security key. If you can, go back into the wireless security settings on the router and change the key to numbers and letters. You WILL need to update all of your wireless clients with the new security key too.
