I don't believe that is actually true. Example case: my icky old router was finally annoying me enough it was time to swap it out for one I had lying around. I didn't feel like changing SSID's, so the new router took on the SSID of the old. Datapoints: my Linux netbook noticed me unplug things and install the new router, but was happily online. my ip3k devices (SB2/SBReceiver) did the same thing. my phone actually worked (it didn't like the WPA/AES combo I had on the old router which doesn't do WPA2, but lets me use the non-standard-but-secure AES). The SBController and Touch, however would NOT reassociate. See, in addition to the SSID, many clients keep track of the router mac ID's to make sure there is no spoofing going on. This annoyed the SBC and Touch -- they saw the same SSID but different MAC and refused to connect. So, no, I wouldn't expect "use the same SSID" to work. (The encryption settings did change -- from WPA/AES to WPA2/AES, but months ago when I forced it to be WPA/AES the Touch/SBC didn't have too much of an issue with it.) The good news: the Radio certainly remembers networks it has been on. I would assume the Touch/SBC do as well. If I take my Radio to the inlaws, it remembers the network it was on before and connects right up. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
