BlackBerry® PlayBook™

[HSingh2012]

I know the router works with other devices, again sometimes the PlayBook cannot connect to certain routers. Have you tried changing the security type to WPA, changing the channel?

I had persistent trouble with connectivity until I changed the router setting from 802.11g/n to g only.

The PlayBook has a particular security rating that relates to WPA2 in AES for 802.11n that someone other than me would need to explain.

We had multiple devices connecting in g and n modes but the playbook kept stalling and crashing the network until we switched the router to g only. If your router is capable of AES then you may be able to leave the 802.11g/n as is. Otherwise, try setting it to g and see if that solves it.

explained at http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB26522   It is a requirement of the people who give Playbok its certification.
