i have dsl with my own netgear wifi router.
if i want to use the wifi on my phone, i have to shut off the wifi on my computer.
if i want to use the wifi on my computer, i have to shut off the wifi on my phone.
they cannot both get wifi access together.
it's a new phone and i never noticed glitch this before.
i could swear in the past a had a friend visit with a notebook who used hers while mine was also connected, both via wifi.
i don't think it's my router.
it's either something on my new phone that won't share the wifi connection or something new with verizon that won't let a phone connect while the computer is online.
any ideas?

ok, never mind. i left my wifi on for my phone and computer and restarted my router and modem and it took a minute longer to restart them this time but now both work. i guess in order to get them both to be recognized (maybe ip address conflict?) by the router it needed a restart. should have tried that before posting
