I know there are plenty of stories about a Factory Reset fixing the Glo's WiFi issue(s) (i.e., never remembering a successful connection, not establishing new ones), but I discovered something that makes me wonder...
I opened up the diagnostics on my WiFi extender, and saw that the Glo really did not have a host name when connected, like other devices. Just two dashes, like so: --
Even my husband's nooks showed a host name on the extender, if not very helpful ones (e.g., host name android_[mac address]).
I manually went to the brand new glo firmware over the weekend (2.6.1?) via sideload, hoping it might include a fix for this, and while the update was clearly successful, I'm still stuck with the same WiFi issues. I love my Glo, but it is way (WAY) less useful without WiFi. If I have to enter my passphrase one more time, I'm afraid I'm gonna hurl this across the room.
