M009s unable to connect to WIFI

[melspence]

Hi

I have a brand new M009s . The info is as follows:
Model Number M009F
Android version 2.3.3
Kernal version 2.6.35.7
Build number GRI40

The tablet connects to the router via Ethernet with no problems at all. However WiFi is a different story.

The router is using WEP, there are no spaces in the SID, the router is a netgear connecting to the SKY network.

The tablet finds the network, gets through the the WEP and starts to obtain an IP address, after a few seconds it disconects, and then reconnects ad nauseum!

I have tried setting the advanced setting to a static IP address, but the WiFi app seems to completely ignore these manual settings

I am probably doing something stupid, but I can't see what!

Any help would be greatly apprecuiated!

Cheers

Mel

this unit must be a m009s or modified m009s ( i've seen some sellers label this as a m009f) you are correct that the m009f does not come with this adapter that has the ethernet port on it. i am currently trying to figure out a way to connect via hard wire (ethernet) have you come up with anything yet?
