1) The idea of wifi is great. I'm in NYC and there is almost always a unsecure wireless access point around...but so far I've had problems connecting to these even if the signal strength looks really strong. Sometimes my laptop will be able to see the signal and connect fine, but the N800 gives me a "connection error." It also happens a lot that the N800 sees quite a few more networks than my laptop, but can't actually connect to them. So far I've only been able to get it to connect to the WiFi at home and at work. Are there configuration settings for the wireless that I should be looking into?
If you can't connect to an "open" wifi connection it may be because the router is using MAC filtering.
