Assassin007 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's not a coincidence because it's happened too many times. As soon as I walk through the door at my parents house their wifi cuts out completely and refuses to work for the entire duration of my visit. Literally happens the second I walk through the door and it starts working again for them the minute I leave. We thought it might be my phone, but I have a new handset and it still does it. I've tried turning my phone wifi and network connection off and it still does it. I switched my phone off completely and put it in the car... it still does it!!! Is it me??? My sister calls me Magneto now. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what could be causing it? Hi Shaz, It could be the configuration on your WP7 that could be doing this. Try turning wifi off on your phone or get them to change wifi channel on the router to see if it helps. Let me know how you get on Regards, A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents have just had broadband installed and there is something there that keeps interfering with their wifi, its called my dad. Guess who has to keep driving over there to turn it back on again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, A I've read articles on it for Windows 7 but it confuses me. If it requires them doing anything at all at their end then forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work so I switched the phone off and stuck it in the boot of my car just to be certain. It still wouldn't work. It's very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
