Gallaxy Mini Wi-Fi Troubles

    Bought a Samsung S5570 the other day and it worked fine on my home Wi-Fi for a few hours and then dropped off the network. After which I can't get it to work or connect to my router at all. It picks it up and then - scanning/disconnected! I've tried deleting the network from my phones memory and reconnecting - no good. I've tried rebooting both phone and network, I've tried static IPs, I've tried configuring from the routers config page I.e. checking for blocked mac addresses, even disabled security on the network - all to no avail. I then factory reset the phone and still nothing. Laptops are working grand on the network.

    I've read on forums a few people who have had similar issues with this phone in the past but I've yet to come across a fix.

    Is this just a phone with a dodgy wi-fi module?

    Simple fix, something I just overlooked:

    Rather than deleting network from phone and then rebooting router, I turned the router off and then deleted network from phone's memory when router was off... seems this has done the trick. Must be important that the router is off while being deleted from phones memory.

    TBH - not really happy with it yet, wifi connection lasts a half hour or so and drops off again completely. Cannot reconnect to network until I turn the router off, delete the network from the phone's memory and reboot router.

    Anyone else experience anything like this?
