But, yes, my phone claims its connected - but, then, when I try to play a Podcast - the phone asks if I want to use Cellular data! Which Sucks. I have a simple router that generates a Wifi signal in my place. When I want to listen to the PodCast - I simply go outside my door and access Optimum WiFi - since there is an Optimum hotspot right near the house I live in. But, yeah - it's a Totally PITA - and it's been going on for several months now!

It seems that the connection happens, but the data won't route. From what I can tell it's a DNS issue. (The WAP is on an isolated network with a DHCP server that provides an IP, gateway, and DNS settings when connected.)
