Revision history [back]

I use a WLAN access point TP-Link TL-WR841N with "broadcast SSID" disabled.

Setting up the WLAN connection between my jolla phone and this device works and I can use it flawless. But after rebooting my jolla phone, my jolla phone seems not to be able to connect to this WLAN again. Access data to this WLAN (SSID and password) is still stored under Settings -> System -> WLAN, but there is no connection.

Disabling and reenabling WLAN did not solve the problem: My secured WLAN keeps disconnected.

I found out, that enabling SSID broadcast on my WLAN access point is a way to work around this problem. But it would be nice if "hidden SSIDs" would work flawless, too.

I found other people mentioning such a problem in comments to other questions:

• https://together.jolla.com/question/9125/data-connections/ (comment by found_Irish)

But since I could not find a separate question for this, I decided to open one.

I use version 1.0.8.21 (Tahkalampi) at the moment. And my jolla phone is the only WLAN device connected to the access point.

Workaround: Deleting and adding the WLAN connection again, brings back full WLAN functionality in such a case (Thanks to @Aashish and @sifartech). But you always have to enter SSID and WLAN key (or at least copy&paste it from a text file on your jolla phone). So this is kind of uncomfortable.

UPDATE: This problem still exists in 1.1.7.27 (Björnträsket)

Another workaround: (If you can) Just unhide . Not after every reboot but it has happened to me at least once a week recently. Unhiding the SSID to let Jolla connect to it.temporarily works as a workaround.
