When is the next firmware coming?
 
I'm really looking forward to have this bl**dy Wifi problems fixed once and for all.

Hi, I don't have any 'wifi' problems currently. Did you generate a bug report for it ?

$20 says it's your wi-fi router/AP.

I actually thought that the smooth implementation of wifi roaming and bluetooth connectivity is one of the best features of the N800. Getting online is amazingl easy. One slight comment - I tether to a Nokia E61i, and when trying to connect using its 3G, i always have to close all internet connected apps on the phone (web, fring) before the N800 will tether, instead of it just climbing onto the existing connection. Is this a bug in either device or a shortcoming of the protocol?

If it's my router, why did this problem occur when i upgraded the firmware and why doesn't mave my PC, Mac and Wii have this problem?

Ah, and yes, a bug is filed. I'm talking about the famous wlan_sleep_timeout bug. I'm just wondering how long it takes before this problem is definitively solved.

First time I've seen this. Has anyone else experienced it?

What is the bug number? what is the problem exactly? i may be having the same issue, but i think it's due to using my wife's ibook as our router... If I try to stream music, use google talk or skype it drops about every five minutes. I do not get this happening on my thinkpad which is also routed through the ibook.

In about 5 days I'll have a real router, so I am hoping that will end the problem.

So you didn't search in here and find the correct key to change to set it back to the settings used in the last firmware?
Search...it's in here.

I know it's in here. I opened the topic AND the bug myself... It's just that ONLY changing the values in gconf doesn't solve the problem. Strangely enough, hiding the SSID does help...

But the problem is besides the point, the problem has been discussed over and over again and the bug is there including the votes (if they didn't change the product in the bugtracker and removed all the votes like on many other bugs at the moment...

My question was, and look at the title of the thread, when the next firmware is coming and if the problem gets fixed so i can be accessing the internet again as if i was on the previous firmware. This Wifi problem spoils 90% of the fun with the N800 for me.

Woke up early this AM, figured I'd toss in with a 'no wifi problems here.' I'm loving my N800, which seems to connect quickly to available wifi and hangs right in there with excellent stability.
