I'm trying to connect WiFi on my P990i, but my router uses MAC Address Filtering. When I click the MAC Address option in my phone it lists the MAC address as blank, can anyone help on this?
Ta!
As I am still waiting for my P990, this is based only on general experience with networking, not actual experience with the P990, but:
MAC filtering means your router restricts access based on the MAC addresses of external devices that connect to it. You should therefor enter the MAC address of your P990 in the 'authorized MAC addresses'-list in your router's setup, NOT enter your router's MAC address in the P990.
Your P990's MAC address is probably somewhere on the box the phone came in, or can proably be found in the phone's service menu.

@Guy H - yes delete the SE COM ports, reboot and try again
@haig & PeterKay - wifi working here okay from day one (using Generic World firmware, latest version)
PeterKay - please try another router (which one are yo using?) as a member at my-symbian found that after his wifi worked on a friend's router it started to work on his as well!

ditto, its really no different from connecting with a pc, or a pocket pc and actually I think the P990 scans quite fast

how do i know and make sure i am only using my wlan to browse the web and not using gprs so I don't get charged. I of course enable wan and connect but how do i know if gprs overrides the connection to the web or not?
i see the wifi icon in the taskbar for sure.
thx.
