Try turning off Power save for the Internet Account you are using.
Control panel -> Conections -> Internet accounts -> Your account name -> Edit -> More -> Advanced -> Power save
This setting definitely worked for me, when I had an access point, wich I could connect to, but did not receive any data.
Some Access points do work corretly with the P1i and Power save enabled, but some others don't.

Let us know if this works for you as well.

Best regards,
Peter

Same problem. After 1000 attempts I'd tried to: power safe off and insert manually primary server DSN.
Now wlan browsing works.
Thanks.

I don't understand: I can view on P1i youtube clip streaming via 3g UMTS but not via WLAN with my home router (Belkin pre n). Obviously I have not problems to make this with laptop wifi.
Why?
router problem?

@lucignolo

Can you clarify, manually specifying the DNS server and turning off power save then allowed opera to browse the internet via your wifi?

EDIT : The youtube thing I would have thought was a Flash issue (you don't actually have flash on the P1) but the real question then is how the hell does it work via your 3g??? I was not aware that anyone had got youtube working on the P1 with Opera.

@pnf1973

1)Yes. I manually specified DNS and switched off power save on the phone, switch on and switch off the phone and now I can browse with opera via wifi

2) If I type "youtube" on google search with opera, the first address displayed is http://m.youtube.com/ (mobile version of youtube).
Via Umts clip streaming works, via Wlan does not work.

That implies that the proxy on your utms is doing something to the page to make opera work properly and correctly stream the content - you could mention this on the opera support forums.

Well I noticed long ago on my own that a lot of services don't work properly when power save was on. I had that HandyWeather going and it wouldn't get the weather sometimes, RSS and email would refuse and error up. The problem is, those things happen only some of the time. But ever since disabling, no problems yet.

Well actually, I did notice one problem, at university [University of Toronto, to be specific], I can't pick up a connection there. I mean I do, but it never connects. They have a complicated thing going on but any idea why that would happen?

On a laptop, you have to connect to the access point, give it a university password, then try access a page. you are then confronted with a student login. But I can't get that student login up.

Please read further up in the thread. You almost certainly just need to know the login page url, and open that first.

BTH I have used several open networks that work in this way, mostly BT openzone ones, what usually happens is as soon as you attempt top browse to a page in opera you just get directed to the login page instead. It doesn't automatically appear when you connect to the network.
