Comment 1 Ross Levine 2009-08-06 17:37:28 UTC

Works with D-Link WBR1310 and r6947.

Comment 2 Ross Levine 2009-08-19 16:10:15 UTC

Dlink DIR 655, Linksys WRT310N, 2wire 3800HGV-B, and possibly the airport time capsule (bug 12265). 

For all these routers baby does connect after several attempts, sometimes the first attempt, but there is definitely a bug here.

Comment 3 Ross Levine 2009-08-26 12:59:18 UTC

MP 7260 connects to DIR655 (ssid broadcast disabled) more consistently, more than half the time, but after updating firmware it gives can't connect error and shows red wireless icon. If I navigate to diagnostic, the icon goes white and everything is fine.

have seen the same behavior with zyxel wireless access point (661HW-D1).
when going into diagnostics the connection is suddenly established and the signal strength is increased slowly from almost nothing to 83% (in my situation). Before that, I left the box untouched for at least 10 min without any success on the connection.
