Another way to change password is go to 192.168.1.1, password is asally admin or admin1

If it is a netgear wireless router you can login to the router by typing routerlogin on the pc bowser (no http://), then look under settings/wireless settings for the network key.

Login name is usually "admin" and the password is "password"

I agree, I remember when I started out with my 6700 and called about something and it let to a wifi v/s data arguement with some chick rep. She kept telling me i would be charged for wifi and I kept trying to explain to her how I wouldnt. She was such a retard and ignorant. I guess she never had a wireless router or laptop in her lifetime.

WiFi is so easy on these units, I cant believe 3 pages later and you guys dont have this fixed yet. Do I need to come over and do it for you???? LOL

I also have no problem surfing with either my deactivated Tpro or Titan. I have my home network set up with wep key already, I just turn on the wifi and go. It usually tries to connect to the data network once or twice, but cancel usually stops that.

Is the network adapter set on internet or work? that can foul up browsing. its something to check.

Same here. I love "testing" them and the stupid guy kept saying, "Yes you will be charged for every KB of usage, as well as when using ACTIVESYNC over USB!" I never had laughed so hard. I demanded to speak to a manager, not because I believed him but because if they tell a lot of people that then people who don't need a data plan are gonna buy it. So the manager said "No you do not. And I am sorry for my employee misleading you!".

I seriously wanna get a job at Verizon and tell new customers all their dirty little tricks. I will reccomend them to Sprint or AT&T! The manager at the store here, who is very nice to me and my family told me I oughta work their to help people with "advanced phones" (PDA phones).

Anyhow, if you ever have questions, come here to PPCGeeks.Most users know a lot more than the "techs". Sprint and Verizon reps don't know a thing. The only thing they're useful for is getting a replacment phones or resetting your account.
