N95 8GB's WLAN problem

Hi everyone,

I know a lot of people have had problems with the N95 8GB when connecting to the Internet through a WLAN (WiFi) connection, and so have I... Every time I connect to a WLAN, either within an application or just with the integrated browser, the phone will become unstable and eventually crash after a short period of time.

First I thought it was the network's fault and tried to modify various settings on the wireless router. Then I noticed that any connection to any wireless Internet hotspot (airport etc) causes the same problem: the phone is able to connect to the WLAN, and I can even browse for a few seconds/minutes, but before long, the Internet stops working, and soon after this happens, the operating system becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the phone.

I've also read about the workaround of turning Power Saving off from the advanced settings, and that it has solved the problem for a lot of people. Unfortunately, it has not solved it for me.

I have the latest firmware (31.2.008) installed.

If anyone could suggest a fix for this "classic" problem of the N95 8GB, I'd be more than grateful.
