Okay...the device is...sorta working. WTF.

When it is connected to my wireless LAN, it messes it up. All computer/devices end up with "Limited Connectivity"...but, once I put it on Flight Mode, the rest of the computers are fine. WTF...

It's a D-Link DIR-615...and I don't have that many devices concurrently going. Right now, it is just the VAIO on.

On the phone with HP tech support. Hopefully, we can solve this...

i had a "problem" with an older router, it came by default as to only allowing 3-4 devices to connect to it. so when i added a new one, it ended up sharing an IP address and neither device could get online.

i just went into the menu system and changed the number of devices allowed to 100

not sure if this is the same issue you have.

Working again.

Something happening with the HP Business Order. The ship date is today, they refunded back my CC the initial amount paid of $250.63 (for 2) and a new total amount of $248.32 is listed on HP's site. Not sure what to make of it, but stay tuned.

No news on the SMB or Bopotech orders. I assume they aren't coming.

Found a place online I may just order my dock and case from. Not the best prices, but at least they have them.

the unofficial one is just the web version w/out the address bar. Not worth the .99 imo.

the hulu fix in preware works great. Hopefully somebody creates a netflix fix or app soon.

hate to say it, but posting/browsing from this is better than my android eee pad. A lot less lag when scrolling and typing. My eee pad is oc'd to 1.7 too.

Nope...still issues. It kills my DNS.

So, if I put it on flight mode and use it, I have net access for all other computers at home.

Beginning to think I am going to have to suck it up and pay $270 for 1 32gb on ebay. Is the web browsing good? That would be my main use for it. One of the reasons I really don't want to shell out for an Android Tablet of iPad.

Well, let's tinker with the router and set it to TKIP instead of AES.

Hope this works.

Off topic: Use Opera. Works awesome on the Transformer and no lag on text entry. Just wish they updated the interface to be similar to the stock browser then it would be perfect.

A spotify app is necessary.


Amazon instant videos work quite well.
