Your access point may not play nice with power saving mode (PSM) - you can reduce or disable the level of power saving in Connections->Advanced. PSM was added in later versions of OS2007 and caused problems for some routers (the minority fortunately) - OS2008 adds a GUI option to disable/reduce PSM if it isn't compatible with the users wireless router.

I am kinda curious about what effect the higher latency is having on overall bandwidth and if that in turn is having negative effects on media streaming, (ORB) in particular.

Where is this GUI option in 2008? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I have noticed that several other configuration options from 2007 are now missing as well. While my WAP supports PSM just fine, I am kinda curious about what effect the higher latency is having on overall bandwidth and if that in turn is having negative effects on media streaming, (ORB) in particular.

Theoretically wlan chip should never go to sleep if you are pumping a lot of data through it and trying to get maximum bandwidth. Anyway, overall wlan bandwidth is not very good. IMHO it is mostly caused by inefficient code in wlan driver which causes it to eat all the cpu resources on heavy wlan transfers. That's especially bad for media streaming, as video player has less cpu resources left on decoding. The higher is video bitrate, the more cycles get eaten by wlan driver thus starving the decoder. This looks like a purely software problem and hopefully it can be fixed later.

But the wi-fi driver is closed-source, propriaretary code.. therefore it must be good, no?
I can pull down maybe a page or two and then it seems to only connect and get data very occasionally, while my 770 can be merrily browsing the same sites using the same WLAN at the same time.
