It's here.

Definitely update if you haven't done so - WiFi connection problems was specifically the reason I initially got the firmware update for us and it did fix the problem ... it's posted here by others on this forum:http://slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=24.0

after solden the Eken Complete , the wifi connection was good , but after a few minutes ( 45...) , and after de new update , Wifi suks , but strange is , connection to a "free"wifi here at the street , good connection , but at home with a gigabit n router Netgear wpa 2 , i can't connect any more , i trie it tonigt by a frend . But Eken and wifi sucks, he produce so much heat . that when its winter i put it in my underpenche (.....englisch word i dont now). i keep the forum informed of the problem is the Netgear router or the Eken , but i love it reading en see movie's on it before getting to sleep.

tride yesterdat by a frend, connection was good a stayed good 5 hours, so my netgear work not so good with the Eken , looking now voor a extender try that.

The Eken has a Wireless-N capable adapter, but it really wont be able to keep up as the device is fairly underpowered.Try setting your Netgear to Wireless-G Only and test. If it works, thats your issue. Mine had some issues with my Linksys WRT620N but G-only solved it for me (no big deal for me as I dont have many Wifi-N devices).

I haven't had any issues with the WiFi and I've used it in quite a few locations. It seems to scan pretty well and connect fine too. I updated the firmware immediately as soon as I got it and haven't had any issues.
