Hello,

I have a router and 3 AC wall plugs access points around my house. My old Lumia 800 and all other wireless devices see all access points (3) perfectly, however, Lumia 920 only sees router. Any ideas?

AC wallplug accesspoint are commonly of the ad-hoc type which is not supported by the 920. Infact this connection type is generally considered insecure and should not be used for everyday regular connections.

Are you saying that phone which costs 700 euros doesn't support all wifi standards, where as, any other wifi device does?

[cjlim]

Very few devices support all wifi standards, especially older less common ones . You will find android devices dont support ad hoc either. As far as I know the Lumia 800 and iphones  dont either. However the 920 does support dual band which a lot of mobile devices still lack. So as far as mobile devices go it supports more than most.

Look, side by side. If lumia 800 doesn't support adhoc, then its not adhoc problem. As I said, my ipad2, mom's iphone and my previous lumia see all networks.

In fairness, you only said all wireless devices but fine, if all those devices you are now listing can connect then it is probably not an ad hoc issue. Do you have the make and model name for the router and wall plugs?

Router - DLink 2640U

Plugs: D-Link DHP-W306AV PowerLine AV Wireless N Extender

I had a quick look at the specification for the plugs. There is no reason why the phone shouldn't see unless they were set to invisible. Have you set up the plugs for manual configuration? 

[Axeleron]

I did quick setup, intalled password, thats it, everything else is on default

[cjlim]

Am I right in thinking you already had all those devices when you did the quick setup? My guess is the plugs are only setup for WPS and SSID were set to invisible by default. Log into one of the plugs and have a look. 

[Axeleron]

Checked, its visible

[cjlim]

Gosh! I was hoping you wouldn't say that. There is no other obvious settings in the router settings which would block the phone seeing it and there are no settings in the phone which would stop it seeing the plugs with those settings. I presume the router is also on similar settings. They may block the connection but should not block them seeing each other. I presume you have tried restarting both. Short of resetting either or both router and phone, there is nothing else you can try your self. Only thing I can suggest is to send your phone and one of the plugs to a Nokia Care Point.
