I upgraded from OS2005 to OS2006 almost immediately after getting my 770. I have had almost nothing but "local link" connections. It does not matter if I am near or far from the router. It happens with WEP on and off. I've tried different power settings, no luck. I've tried static addressing.
Every once in a while - not consistently - I can connect to a open router that my neighbour has kindly positioned in their back window right behind my house. Most of the time I get the "local link" message even with this router. I note that a Windows CE PDA and Windows XP can connect no problem, first try.
It sure seems like wireless is at least partially busted on the 770. It is a shame as everyone admires the screen. I think an important part of any future release would be to improve the diagnostics capability for the wireless.
