Complete Wifi BlackBerry Devices Manual Guide
There are countless advantages to having the added benefit of WiFi on your BlackBerry. WiFi has the potential to change your BlackBerry and really add a lot of functionality. The ability to browse the web over WiFi and make calls over WiFi using UMA are a couple of the main advantages. In order to utilize your Berry’s WiFi to its full capacity, there are a number of things to consider. In this How-To guide, I will detail the steps needed to get the most out of your WiFi. Note : This guide only pertains to WiFi capable BlackBerries. The tested devices currently include models 8120, 8320 and 8820. (Other devices may also be WiFi capable but I have been unable to test them)
To make sure your BlackBerry will behave well when using WiFi, verify that your router is configured in a way that will work well with your device. (NOTE: This Wizard can also be run from Home Screen > Manage Connections > Set Up Wi-Fi Network) NOTE : Wireless N Routers are not yet fully supported by BlackBerries and are known to cause issues If you are using a Wireless N router, take the time to set it to use Wireless G mode only… or else you will run into serious problems and will not be able to use WiFi. If you are running any version of OS 4.5, this is not an issue and Wireless N should work without problems. (As user SebasC noted : Any device running OS 4.2.2.184 or above should work on Wireless N networks!!)
The simplest and most straight forward way to get your device connected to your WiFi connection is to run the ‘Setting Up WiFi’ wizard (The Wireless Router Icon on your Home Screen). Once you start the wizard, you will be presented with a few options. If it is your first time running the wizard, then a small ‘Read-Me’ will appear, giving you the option to hide the next time you use the wizard. From there, you have these THREE options; Scan for Networks, Manually Add Network or Get Security Key Scan for Networks : Used to scan and automatically find available networks. Once complete, you can select the desired network to connect to Manually Add Network : Used to enter in the network name manually (if known) and configure your connection without scanning for all available networks.
Select “Scan for Networks” and your device will begin to scan for all available WiFi connections within range. If your WiFi is not enabled on your device, then it will prompt you to power on the WiFi before continuing… so select “Turn WiFi On”. Your Berry will then begin the scan for available WiFi networks and say “Searching for available Wi-Fi networks…” on the screen. Depending on the site survey, this could take from 10 to 45 seconds (the fewer the available networks, the less time it takes) .
