I have 2 lumia phones: Lumia 530 and Lumia 640. Both phones will not connect to my home WiFi, no matter what I do. I have:
- updated the OS in both phones - 530 using Windows 8.1 update and the 640 using Windows 8.1 update 2,
- updated the firmware on my router,
- read all the Internet instructions and hints on fixing the WiFi issue,
- rebooted my phones repeatedly,
- rebooted my router repeatedly.
I am unable to find 'specific IP' on my phones to turn that off. I have spent days on trying to solve this problem.
My computer, my Xbox One and my Android phone connect immediately to the router - either wireless or via ethernet cable.
There must be a massive problem with the Lumia phones, and it must be software.
If there is anyone out there who might have a sensible, no time wasting (as I've already spent much too much time) and easy solution to this problem I would appreciate you replying to my post.
As a last comment, I advise anyone out there thinking of buying a Nokia/Microsoft Windows phone not to do it. Learn from my experience.
