At home, I entered the WPA2 phrase for my Linksys WRT54GL and it worked the first time.

The wifi network at a large educational institution that I visit for work is used by staff, students, and visitors. Infrequent visitors are given temporary usernames and passwords. Everyone else has to register their wifi MAC address. The former get the usual login dialog when they first acess WWW, the latter connect automatically. I pre-registered my MAC address the day before my first visit with an n900. When I got there, all I had to do was select the connection and I was connected the first time.

If it works like with my home router, the next time I go there, the n900 will just connect. I leave wifi on all the time for my n810 and n900 and have seen no difference in battery drain.
