Hi,
This is my first post having just got a mio p550.
I have problem with the wifi,as the only icon i get in the wireless manager is the bluetooth connection.Mio help desk via email have said to do a hard reset and if it is the same then it needs repairing.
I am not to keen on this so i contacted the supplier superetrader about the problem and they tell me i need buy a network card.
I have emailed them with the product spec and it says built in wifi.
Am i correct in thinking that it should be wifi enabled straight out of the box.
Thanks for your help in advance |

If its a P550 you have then it must be faulty these devices are equipped with WiFi as standard, only the P350 didn't get the WiFi.
If its a P550 you ordered return it to the vendor as defective - you most certainly do not need an extra card to gain WiFi with that PDA. - Mike |

I do not think it is enabled out of the box.
There should be a way to turn it on.
If you have not sent it back yet find out where you can turn it on.
It may not be a faulty unit after all.
I had played with it before but I do not have it on hand so cannot tell you the way to do it. _________________ Pc-Mobile

Did you try the hard reset by sliding the switch at the bottom of the unit or by
Start - Settings - System - SysInfo - Clean Boot?
And are the settings correct in
Start - Settings - System - GPS
Programs - GPS program port COM4
Hardware - GPS hardware port COM2 Baud 4800
Access - Manage GPS Automatically (ticked). _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property
