The 950's wifi seems to be of a delicate disposition. Things you can do:

1) turn off 3g if you're not using it (this will probably also save a little battery life)

2) don't be too close to an access point when trying to connect (noise sensitivity)

3) don't be too close to another wifi device when trying to connect (interference)

4) look at the signal strength meter on the lower left when trying to connect. My access point is in the basement. Bedroom's on 2nd floor. I get two arcs upstairs with the reader held horizontally above the floor and almost nothing over with it on the bed. The bed is apparently a pretty good wifi wave trap. Once connected, however, page loads happen fine either place.
