Hi Kris,

Hello,

Coming back home I encountered quite a few glitches:

- I couldn't connect to my router as long as the router's SSID resides in the profile. Thus I needed to wipe out the SSID in the network entry field in order to connect.
This should not be that way. When I recall it correctly, you had problems with the SSIDs anyway. I mean, you were surprised that your home router was available at Cologne.. and it was just a router using the same network name... In any way this definitely is not an XWLAN issue. I will certainly try to help you finding out what the problem is, but for that we may need to use DesktopOnCall, so that I can access your box remotely. please drop me a personal mail if you would liek me to do this.

- Even  when connected,  transfers are rather jerky. Doable when MTU had been set to 1492, but still a drop in quality in respect to version 2.14. Looks to me the new feature has introduced a few new problems.

I would agree so far. I have similar problems with my netgear router, and since before the ship no tester reported the same, I thought it was just my hardware...

Bottom line: I'm back to version 2.14 till you have sorted it all out. :-)
Well, if you rely on fast downloads, you may have no other way. Otherwise I would stick to WPA, as WEP isn't safe at all anymore. But if you use WEP, at least see wikipedia.org for the recommendations for doing that - in order to be _somewhat_ secure.

bye, Christian
