Question Is it possible to connect the BlackJack i607 to a wireless home network?

I've been trying to connect my blackjack i607 to my family's home network for months without success. I don't have any kind of data plan with at&t, I was hoping to just get online while at home on our wireless network for free. I've messed with a lot of the settings, and I don't know how to restore at&t's original network settings . So my question is 1). How to restore the original network settings? 2). Is it possible for the blackjack i607 to connect to our home wireless network? 3). How would I go about doing that?

The Samsung Blackjack SGH-i607 does not have Wi-Fi capability. The only way to connect to a home network is via Bluetooth or USB cable. Why would you want to view the Internet on a telephone screen at home when you have a full sized computer a few feet away?

Sometimes people have to use the computers that are at home. So it would be nice if I could surf the web or check my email while I can't get on the computer.

As the first poster suggested, you can connect via USB cable to a PC and surf that way at he same time someone else is using the computer. Or if your PC doen't have bluetooth you can pick up a BT dongle for your PC connect that way as cables tend to be a bit on the short side.

I use that trick myself sometimes when I'm inside and the EVDO signal is poor.

Some of these phones can be fitted with wi-fi cards in the memory card slots but they are expensive and I don't know if the BJ can support one or not.

One has to have access to the computer to setup the connection. It most likely would be via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. There is one company who makes a WLAN microSD card: SPECTEC CO.,LTD. --- THE SPECIALIST MANUFACTURER OF SDIO DEVICES
