Setting a static IP seems to work until I try and use it. I starting using the connection and found that the connection feels very slow. When I ran ping I found that I have more than 80% packet loss (this happened every time). Again, this is only when the AP is set to g or b/g. This does not happen if the AP is set to b only. I have been able to confirm this with another AP, b only works and g or b/g fails on DHCP with packet loss when using a static IP. I called Nokia but they feel it is an AP setup problem (without asking any questions). How can I prove to them that it is the 770 and not the AP's I have tested with?

Most probably there is something wrong with the WLAN connection. Try assigning manual IPs and ping something from local network. If it fails, the WLAN connection doesn't work. If manual IPs work, there is a problem with DHCP. I suspect it's the former. -- Kalle Valo
