I have to say that wifi has been one of the more stable things I have used on the P990 and have had no problems connecting with WEP at home and to pubilc hotspots elsewhere

I'll have a look. Maybe it's my Apple network products that don't work well with the P990i. I have no idea.

Had the same problem...solved it!
Turned out my Airport network was set to 802.11g only
Need to set it to "802.11b/g Compatible" in Airport Admin Utility.
Let me know if this works...

Joeltt,
Yes, I had that problem too, but even with b/g compatibility, I have problems browsing the web. The P990i connects just fine, but no data are sent or received.
It might have to do with the WDS system I'm using. That said, the Airport on the first floor acts as a router, and the Airport on the second floor acts as a remote accesspoint that just forwards the traffic to the router Airport. I need this configuration in order to get my laptop to connect to the second floor Airport, otherwise I won't be able to playback music via AirTunes without hickups.
It's twisted, but works great for every device except the P990i. Then again, this isn't necessarily the problem either. I'll install Windows XP on a Virtual PC as soon as I get some spare time, and perform a firmware upgrade to see if that helps. But coming to think of it, what the heck do I need the P990i to connect to my home wireless anyway? Really, it's more useful when I'm on the run, seeing that nobody wants to use a P990i instead of a PowerBook at home, really.
On a more positive note, navigation and messaging couldn't possibly get better. It's a breeze to use the phone.

I've solved the problem with help from the shop where I bought it. I had to do with IP, gateway and submask. I use static IP on my local network.
I'm happy now

Osmano - Can you pleased give further details on how you solved this problem? I have exactly the same problem myself. I'm using an Airport, my P990 connects but refuses to send and/or receive any data...
Would really like to hear exactly how you solved the problem. Thanks!

Disabling WLAN power saving is the shit. After 24h on the web searching for solutions I found this solution on a forum.
I made a new WLAN account and called it "power saving disabled" where I disabled WLAN power saving. Using this account to cannect to my Airport base station (the old model) everything works.
