Just a bad experience with tehchnology as most of us have experienced or may
experience some day. This doesn't mean this unit or manufacturer must be
avoided.
Your unit may be defective, have you considerer this fact?
When I have such experience, when I can't make it works and I suspect it
could be defective, I returned the unit (check store policies) to be
exchanged with another one and start over again. If it still fails, then it
is most probably some configuration issue, not the unit unless very bad luck
or I can't figure out this. Documentation is often weak with WiFi products.
