It's great at connecting, but sux at auto-reconnecting...basically, it doesn't or at least mine doesn't.

My N800 has a decidedly flaky wi-fi catching capability. It drops the signal the whole time when my Sony Vaio laptop shows a stong wi-fi signal. And my E61i is also way better than my N800 as far as wi-fi signal catching is concerned. All-in-all I love my N800, but it's wi-fi signal catching capabilities is about the most disappointing thing about it (along with the weaknesses in the browser, lack of Skype capability (although I understand this is being sorted), and the poor multi-media support). And as much as I love my N800, it does feel like its a product that was slightly rushed to market before actually being ready.

It has good sensitivity (more networks visible, than from my laptop, mostly in one red bar state), but much worse connection, sometime it can connect only with 3-4 bars networks. And usualy can't connect to visible networks with low signal (but my laptop usualy do). So I think in laptop list of availiable networks are filtered for "available for connection" networks, but in N800 don't.

This morning I was waiting in my car for a shop to open, and fiddled a bit with the N800 in the meantime. I could see the airport hotspot.. the airport must be something like a kilometer (0.6-0.7 miles) away (direct view though).
This was with the 770, BTW.I could not get a connection, of course.

I've been able to pickup and use hotspots with my N800 that my Macbook Pro can NEVER see - even with the latest wi-fi fixes from Apple.
Usually I quick-scan with my N95, then if I KNOW something HAS to be out there that my N95 isn't picking up (yes, it's wi-fi strength is kinda weak-sauce) then I whip out the N800 where it usually picks something up.

Ergo: N800 has very good reception.
