Aximsitewifiicon Wireless Suddenly Won't Work

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have an X5, version 4.20.1081 (build 13100) with an Intel PX250A. I bought it refurbished on EBay and everything was running great with my wireless connection, using a Netgear MA701 card.

Suddenly I cannot access PIE or MSN anymore. When I go into the card utility it recognizes my home network first try and shows great signal strength, but when I open PIE it says it cannot connect. When I go into Start - Settings - Power - Wireless, the radio button is stuck on "Wireless signals off" and the option to enable wireless signals is greyed out.

Is there any way I can turn the wireless signals on? My card appears to work fine, but this setting is not allowing me to use it.

Thank you!!

It's been a while since I've had a device with WM03 but I don't think the 'Power' option has anything to do with the function of the WiFi. All the controls for your Network card should be in its own utility. Does the LED on the card light at all? If so, it is receiving power and is active.

There are a couple of things I can think of that could be causing your problems:
- The card is no longer connecting to your network. This can be caused by interference (another nearby network set on the same or near channel, cordless phone or microwave oven are the most common causes), or by a setting on your router.

- The cache is full on your PPC. There's a place in Pocket IE for clearing the history (I'm not exactly sure where but a little searching will find it).

so you can try following...

- reset router by unplugging from AC for about 5 seconds.


- The Welcome Cure.......
with File Explorer, navigate to \My Device\Windows, scroll most of the way down, find the file Welcome, and tap it to run it. It'll seem to be doing a hard reset, but you won't lose any data.

- to clear cache......From Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Options, Memory, Delete Files.
