Why doesn't the i730 connect to my wireless access point (AP) /router?

Answers to FAQs
The i730 supports wireless access points that transmit a 128bit preamble not 130bit preamble. Some wireless access points send a 130bit (i.e. Cisco, Linksys, etc). To address this issue you can upgrade the firmware in your wireless access point by simply going to the wireless access point manufacturer's website and downloading the latest firmware and upgrade instructions.

Why doesn't the i730 automatically reconnect to the wireless access point/router?

Answers to FAQs
The i730 does perform an automatic reconnection if the wireless access point/router you are using broadcasts the SSID. At that point the handset can exchange preamble and obtain the SSID in the history list of access points. The i730 does not automatically reconnect to a wireless access point/router that does not broadcast the SSID. Unlike regular laptops, Pocket PC devices do not actively seek non-broadcasting SSID due to limited power.
