Wifi stability for weather display?

Hello folks!

To start, I just want to thank all of you for the excellent information contained in the forum, it's been a real help

What I'm trying to do is display an image (using fbink and downloaded via curl) on the kobo every 5 minutes.

Right now that's a simple shell script launched via telnet or kfmon and that works OK. Still need to figure out how to kill my script... maybe listening for any touch event or home button press. Any ideas on how to do that?

But my real issue right now is that the wifi connection on my Kobo Touch (N905) is REALLY BAD. Is there anything I can do to improve it? Old firmware? Soldering an antenna? Some magic wifi settings for the AP?

Any ideas would be appreciated, or feedback in general. You can find what I have so far here: https://github.com/tahnok/walter
