Thanks, that's the model "Windows 8X"

Last resort you can see if the Windows Phone Recovery tool helps, FAQ - How can I recover/reset/restore my phone software? - Microsoft - USA It will reinstall the OS; basically wiping the phone of all its data back to factory reset.

If that doesn't work you might have to get the phone replaced.

Sounds like the same problem with no resolution.

I understand that but a factory reset and reinstalling the OS from a reliable source are two different things.  There might be driver corruption or something that a factory reset won't correct.

Read the thread from WindowsCenteral I posted above first and see if anything works.  Then see if you can reinstall via the Windows Phone Recovery Tool; just don't know if you're phone is supported or not.

So you tried a specific wifi band and no luck and you wifi router firmware is up to date?

If so, than it's a reinstall.
