How come, when I am connected to Wi-Fi at work, everything is fine. But, if I am connected on Wi-Fi at home, I cannot connect at all to my facebook or internet, unless I disconnect Wi-Fi and connect only to my mobile network?
Do you have any exceptions set up on your home router??? ie sites you or someone have blocked from having access to.
no, not that I know of. I set it up. I go on my facebook on my computer all the time.
OK, is the router password protected, security enabled???? What security is used on your router??? (WPA, WPA2, .....) Also, some routers one to allow users by their MAC address so the phone may not be allowed into the router.
My phone says I am connected to the wi-fi when I am home. What should I be looking for comparing phone and my computer and how?
Work does not have any restriction aside for entering a passcode.
Are you the person who set up the home router?
I would when you get home is delete the connection on your phone and start over. Be sure to not only enter the correct password, but you should be asked also what type of protection is on the router.... WEP, WPA, WPA2
UPDATE. Ignore all I have said, ........I think I have found the issue. The Valet + is a Wireless N. The Inc nor any other Droid that I know of is compatible with N. Droids are B or G Compatible. Most routers usually offer B&G or N. I bet that is the issue.
Well this is wierd, it works when I am sitting in front of my computer. And just ran downstairs and it seems to be working down there too. Don't know what happened. Guess we will see later on this afternoon. lol. So, when you have wi-fi, does the mobile network just disconnects. What benefit is this? Less battery use?
If you have a live WIFi connection you will not see the 3G icon on the screen, but an icon of a dot with 1,2,or 3 half circles above it showing how strong a WiFi signal you have.
I have noticed now that I have moved from a home with minimal signal and no WiFi to a place where I have a constant WiFi conenction that my battery lasts MUCH longer.
I am at 15 hours of Up time with 2 hours of Awake time and I still have 75% battery left.
Just thought I should mention that the Droid Incredible does in fact support wireless N if it has Android 2.2. (One of the messages in the thread seemed to imply that the Incredible is only B/G compatible.)

Hmmm, I will have to look at the specs again. I took it from HTC's web site.
I looked at Verizon's Specifications which they mention 2.2 and all, but there it lists the WiFi is compatible with b/g. There is no mention of N.
The specs are correctly updated in the PDF manual that is available on the VZW support website. To access, click on Support->Device, select the Incredible, and then select Device Manual. The wifi capability specs are on pg 302.
