Hi all. I have just had my X51V replaced by Dell as it had several issues after just 3 weeks from new. One of my issues was that when I activate WiFi, it is very hit and miss if it locks onto my access point every time. I normally have to keep enabling and disabling it until it kicks in. The replacement does exactly the same though. As an experiment, I tried re-enabling the broadcast of my SSID on my AP (I normally have this disabled). Ever since I enabled the SSID broadcast, it connects every time with no issues. My previous X30H did NOT have this issue. Can anybody else confirm this? I did try to log this via a support call to Dell. However, trying to get past the Service Tag screen for an Axim on Dell's web site is about as easy as eating soup with a fork so I gave up !!

Many thanks

Gary
