Annoying wifi program with 4355

[Jeff Song]

I have been using my new 4355 for about a week now, and I must say I love it. However, I have been having problems with the wifi portion. I can get on my network quite easily after a fresh soft-reset. However, after I have turned the wifi on/off/on again or turn on/off/on the ipaq, it loses its ability to find networks. In other words, after I use wifi once or twice, I can't get it to work again until i perform a soft reset. Everything else (including bluetooth) works great. ANy ideas? Thanks for the help in advance :)

Well, since I don't have a 43xx series I can only try to help until someone else steps in...

Here's a thought: does this happen with all wireless networks? Do you have another WAP you can go to to test to see if the problem is the same???

well here is the thing. i live in an apt on campus and there are a bunch of wifi networks around. My problem is that once i use the wifi on my ipaq and turn it/the device off, it won't see ANY networks until i do a soft reset. i think it is somewhat weird, but a review i read confirms what has
however many people have sated that it doesnt happen to them. i'm considering a hard reset but i wanna troubleshoot before i go ahead and do that.

Ooof...

That doesn't sound good...

How about this: a full backup, this way you can do a hard reset and if it's not a hardware problem, you can get back to your current configuration...

Well I ended up doing a hard reset and then a full restore, but that didn't solve the problem. So, I just hard reset again and reloaded everything from the top. Seems to be working fine now, but some new "bugs" arose. I'm going to have to look into it, but I think I'm fine, at least with my wifi troubles. Thanks for the help steve!
