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 Question

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

Thanks for the response.Superetrader have finally agreed with me and i am getting a replacement.
Shame i have to pay to send the faulty one back and no apology for messing me about .
Has anybody else had problems with them before.

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.

In the wireless manager the only thing that is there is the Bluetooth icon.
