My Tab it recognizes my wifi yeah and it connected smoothly in the first month yet now it is not connecting. Gets stuck in *Obtaining wifi address*.
So i googled this problem and i found out Galaxy tab does not connect to wifi till it finds the old ip address it first connected through and since i have a dynamic ip it keeps on changing.
Any idea how to fix this.
I also bought a Nokia C 7 cool shiz but Nokia has fallen way behind Apple and Google.
