I have been experiencing a number of issues with wifi capability on baby.  This includes being able to select an ap during setup, success in connecting if the ap is available during setup and maintaining a connection to the ap once successfully connected.

Caleb mentioned that this might be the result of a known atheros driver problem when multiple access points are near by.

I have not yet verified if this hypothesis is correct but one suggestion was to remove the antenna from baby and see if this improves wifi stability on baby.
