Hi martinsan,

At first try to remove and add again Wi-Fi profile.

Also power off your wifi router for one minute, many have issues with DHCP locking up.

Hi, it really doesn't work. I'm desperate now! Not just because of my network but because of wireless. Now it doesn't show any networks at all. Thanks

why mark solved if it is not?

Turn off wifi on playbook.

turn off wifi and cable/DSL/Fiber modem

turn on playbook wifi and delete wifi profile

turn on modem and then wifi router

add wifi back to playbook

I had the same problem. You just need to connect the playbook yo PC, open BlackBerry Desktop, probably you wont be able to stablish connection, so you need to repair the SO. BlackBerry Desktop is gonna ask you to install new patcher or SO updates.

It takes like an hour to download and install the fix/updates, then reboot and Voilá!!!

Hope this be usefull.

 Hi, sorry about that. I meant to to hit the reply button but I got that instead. Anyway, after tons of answers I've browsed, nothing seemed to work. I do everything.

So here the full story :

First, my home wifi didn't connect (but it showed and worked fine on other devices). Then I tried reset the router, turn off the modem for a while like everybody suggested. But it didn't work, either.

Then I decided to security wiped it. It restarted like the new one supposed to (select country, language). 

But when it came to "Connect to wifi" stage, my connection didn't show. Actually, every connections didn't show up. So I manually connect to the network and it just kept on connecting…went on forever. 

That's pretty much it (I updated the software, does it matter)

Thanks

Like I said before, it happened the same to me: Suddenly i couldn't connect anymore to wifi, the saved networks wasn't there and the wifi stayed looking for a network which never founded. I just downloaded BBerry Desktop software and plug the playbook to the PC, the software founded an error and asked for repair, I said Yes and it installed the whole SO from scratch (it took like an hour), then just rebooted the PB and it was like it started for the very first time. The only thing is i've lost everything, but at least the wifi is working now. Note: I did all this today.
