Connected with WiFi but still wants to connect with GPRS.

I have a wireless network at home.
Although WiFi has excellent signal strength, during browsing it suddenly wants to connect via GPRS.
When I cancel this connection attempt, the page does load, so WiFi is working fine.
Does anyone have a solution?
I found some related topics, but that made WiFi the preferred connection, and that's not what I want.
Because I mostly use GPRS, but on the occasions I do have a WiFi connection, it must use that connection, and not switch to GPRS.

usually its just a quick hiccup in the wifi signal

Go to settings/connections/connections/advance/select networks/and in both fields change it to my isp/then hit ok/ok/ok.
That should fix it- :wink:

Internet access via home WIFI network

I am having a seriously senior moment.....
I have a GPRS connection on my Hermes 300 running WM5 which connects to the internet OK, and I have a WIFI connection on it which connects to my home network OK. My home network also works through an ADSL wireless router / hub to connect to the internet.
How do I arrange my Hermes WIFI connection to access the internet via the ADSL router? my mind is totally blank on this

Web surf through the BT connection of another cellular

Is it possible to use the internet connection of an HDSPA cellular through the BT as if my HD was a PC with BT dialup?

Found!
In Connections you must create a new remote connection with a Bluetooth modem(the other cellular) and the use the numeber "*99#" without username and password...
Works perfectly!

Just for record, you can use any BT phone with support for DUN profile, even a CDMA with Data support. This can be useful where HSDPA is not available and GPRS/Edge is too slow for practical use/costlier.

[Q] lost wifi connection on home network

Hi all
i'm currently behing my home wifi router..
one one hand, I have a lap top, wifi connected to this home network and everything works fine
on the other hand, I have a PDA who sees all surrounding wifi's...except my own network ( configured as visible ...)
consequently, I can't connect my PDA to the internet thru my own wifi connection when I can, without problem using an open hotspot.
if i try to force the connection, it is declared unavailable ( which makes sense if not visible...)
The PDA is an IPAQ hx4700 running WM6.5;
Any input/info greatly appreciated
thks

If you have a newer router, it may be set ot only broadcast or allow connections with 802.11g or 802.11n. If this is the case, the problem you are having is that the IPAQ is a 802.11b device. It cannot use that network.
Login into your WiFi router and make certain that you have the router set to use older specs such as 802.11b if it is capable of doing so.
*EDIT*
Also your IPAQ can only handle WEP and WPA encryption. So if you are using higher forms of encryption, then it will not be able to connect.

Connect to WiFi Network but keep on using Mobile Data Network

I tried to search but couldn't find definitive answer. My issue is opposite to general trend to switch off mobile and use wifi only.
I have apple TV without any internet connection (i.e. no modem connected to it) which I use to steam video/audio and it acts as an AP. I use Twonky on G-Tab (P1000) and it requires wifi for it to work. OK, fine. It does work on wifi and steams to Apple TV no issues, but as long as I am connected to wifi network, I can't use internet on my Tab (as I quoted above, my this Apple TV AP wireless network is without any internet connection, so I can't have net over it unless I buy a wired ADSL modem along with data plan and then connect it ti Apple TV). I have a reasonable mobile data plan on Tab's SIM and it works all time, except when I connect to any wireless network. Here's the catch, dumb Samsung thought that all and each wirless network always has internet connection or if there is a wireless network, it must have had internet connection! But anyway, this annoying behaviour prevents me from accessing net over mobile data plan as long as I am connected to any wifi network, be it has internet or not.
I tried and serached and also explored setting on my rooted tab, but no luck?
Any thing am I missing?

i have asked the same question here lla while back. its not possible to enable both wifi and mobile data at the same time

It's not so much dumb Samsung, as just the way Android works.
The following link details how this can be achieved, but only by modifying AOSP source and recompiling Android from scratch.

Can't you do it the other way around by enabling a mobile hotspot to your Tab, and connecting your Apple TV to this instead?

Yes, that would be the final option to use tab as MobileAP which would be a forced one, not a choice.
