You need to root Defy first, as we need to modify a system file.

Follow the steps:
1. Use the Root explorer, open this file path: “/etc/wifi/”,
2. Use the file editor to open the “tiwlan.ini”.
3. Find this two lines below, change the value if it is not 0.
HT_Enable = 0 # 0=diable 802.11n support
BurstModeEnable = 0 # 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled

4. Save the file, then reboot your Defy.

Try connect to the WiFi again, every should working correctly. though give up the 802.11n mode, We don’t need the 300Mb/s speed on Defy, so this method has no side effects.
