There are a lot of routers that say they support mixed N, G and B modes but they don't work right, leaving B or G not working.

Wasn't there also a report about if there's _any_ 802.11n routers (or pre-standard 802.11n possibly) nearby, then the N800 couldn't see any networks at all.. Milhouse, was it you that reported this? My memory isn't really up and running at the moment.

Did you go in 'setting panel' and then connectivity and manually add your network? I dunno the real name of the menu in english. 'system configuration' maybe. It took me some times to discover this 'connectivity' stuff, should be linked to the upper icon IMO.
I did go in and try to manually create a WLAN connection with my router's SSID and so forth, but no dice.
Anyway, i returned it. I was sad to see it go but it just wouldn't find any networks. I would say that tethering it to my Treo 700Wx via bluetooth was more convenient on the go (folks on the MTA bus i was riding in were always peeking over my shoulder wondering how the heck i was browsing BBC).

Had the same problem and found no fix. On linux normally you can change the country region for the wifi driver (rt2500 for example) with iwpriv wlan0 set CountryRegion=6
This depends on the driver though and n770/n800 driver doesn't support region changes.
It seems however that if you check with 'iwlist wlan0 freq' you will get all channels, so it seems the limitation is from a higher level, probably the connection manager.
cheers
I have my router on channel 9 normally, and through all this headache, i tried all channels in hopes of remedying the situation but that did not work. Besides, there are over 6 wifi networks my computers can find and connect to with nary a hiccup.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Does anyone know if there is an extended battery (Nokia-made or 3rd party) out there for the N800? I find that the standard battery is not that great at getting through the whole day with "regular" usage.
i know i said i [was] returning it, but by gosh, i'll keep it for a while longer. I actually started missing it the moment i didn't have it in my hands (or maybe "new gadget" syndrome hasn't not worn off yet).

Finally... I found someone else who has the same problem as me. I have had my N800 for 5 months and it has connected no problem to any and all wireless networks I needed it to.
Then one day last week, nothing. I would intermittently find some networks but on the next automatic refresh during polling, they would be all missing again.
So, I first tried a restore of an old backup (thinking it was a bad config some where). Nothing. I re-flashed the OS to factory settings (nothing). Took the battery out for several hours and restarted. Nothing.
I ended up sending my N800 back to the Nokia repair center. I will try to post an update when I know more.

Why doesn't anyone file a bug report when this happens? You're not the first, and you won't be the last because nobody bothers to file a report with worhwhile feedback which may help Nokia fix the problem permanently.

I thought i was crazy or something...so it's happened to you too. I was about to resort to pulling out my old 802.11b router to see if it was just a problem with my 802.11g router.
Weird thing is it only happens at my residence (for now i assume), other places it finds wifi networks fine. Odd..
