So, as an impulse, I broke down and bought an N800 from CompUSA.

First thing I did (after ordering a beer) was to try to connect to a personal telco node and to my surprise, the N800 couldn't find the node. Since I'm the guy who installed this node, I know I was sitting only 10' from the hardware, and I whipped out my 770 which could find it and connect no problem.

The only way I was able to connect was by manually creating a entry in the connection manager (and enter the ssid). FWIW, this AP is unsecured.

When I got home, the N800 was able to find my WPA-enabled access point no problem and connect after I entered the key.

So... Has anybody else had N800 problems connecting to an "open" access point? Can I assume this is a bug?
