I had a very hit-or-miss experience with the wifi. On some networks it works flawlessly, but on others it just won't connect. And I have been able to connect to secure networks, even to networks which require browser login, but on other networks (even open ones, at times), it just hangs there trying to connect forever...

I am convinced there is something wrong, I don't think it's a matter of settings. I usually carry both my PRS950 and my iPad with me and there are plenty of places were my iPad connects without the need for any additional settings, while the PRS just won't...

I work at a large university and even our IT department could not figure out why the PRS950 won't connect to our unsecured 'guest' WIFI network.
