Are you having issues with anything else wifi in your house? First I'd try to see if there is a firmware update for your router and maybe reboot the router too. If it is a dual band router AND if the Razr is a dual band phone make sure that it is broadcasting in the band that you can pick up. The Rezound is a dual band phone. I have a choice of 2.4 or 5 or automatic. I keep mine in auto. The reason I say that is because for some reason one morning nothing in my house would connect to the router via wifi except for my phone. When I checked the signal with Wifi Analyizer I found that the 2.4 band stopped broadcasting and I was running off of 5. My phone is the only dual band device in the house. I rebooted the router and it's been fine ever since. You might want to try downloading Wifi Analyizer. It will help you troubleshoot the signal.

Assuming you haven't changed something on your router (like added MAC filtering) and/or this is only on one network, here's what I would try. If one doesn't work, move on.

1. Log in to admin your router and check for software updates.
2. On your phone, forget the network. Simulate a battery pull by using Power and Vol down until it reboots. Then try and log back in.
3. If you have the option of logging in as another user (i.e., guest instead of admin) try that.
4. Turn off your phone. Unplug your router for a couple minutes. After you plug it back in, wait a minute then turn back on your phone.

That's great news. Sometimes it's the simple fixes! The wifi app you downloaded lets you see signal strength and what channels you are on compared to the channels others around you are using. That way you can pick a channel with less congestion. It has a built in help that you can read.

I'm glad you're back in business but honestly I don't know why changing your ad-hoc or peer to peer channel would affect your connection to your wireless router. That has to do with connecting to other devices on your network, not the network itself.

Oh well, C'est la vie!

A while back I had an issue where I couldn't get my wife's laptop to connect to our router. It was seeing the signal and it was a strong signal. I couldn't figure it out and neither could my computer guy. I ended up changing channels and all of a sudden it works. My computer guy was dumbfounded and a little embarrased too. When your dealing with electronics and wireless signals, I guess sometimes the rule book goes out the window.

Interesting. Worth filing away for when I'm ready to click my heels three times and say "There's no place like home" or something equally as desperate.
