So you have to keep deleting it? Is there no way to turn off BIS permanently?

ICS/HoneyComb/etc... on the Playbook are just themes/launchers. Android on the Playbook is 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)

Blackberry will work now, but I still need to know everyone's IP address so I can troubleshoot.

can anyone help me, my playbook keeps on connecting and the disconnecting every 30 seconds to the wifi at home. I have a d-link 615 router and everything else connects no problem ie. iphone/laptop. I've tried googling it but still no solution yet, can someone give me a suggestion? thanks!

it's so frustrating not being connected to wifi consistantly!

PBs don't play nice with certain routers.

Try swapping to WEP or update to DD-WRT. These seem to generally solve the cycling issue. Otherwise, consider buying a different router. FYI, I've never had any connection issues with my Linksys.

No definite solution. It's a little better if:

1. You configured your router to G or B only mode instead of mixed or N.

2. Try WEP or WPA.

haha 615 is your first problem.

try connecting to someone else's wifi and see what happens first.

yeah, i tried wep and wpa, no luck, and switched up the G, B, N,

i'll try someone elses wifi and if there's no problem with that, I'll buy a new router, any suggestions? nothing too expensive but will work with the playbook?

Thanks all!
