First, let me say this forum is an EXCELLENT resource for owners of these el cheapo, (but fun!) Chinese mini-pcs. Kudos!
Secondly.. is there anyone else here who simply CANNOT get theirs to stay connected to a wireless Motorola router that's only 8 or 10 feet away??? I realize these are notorious for having crappy wireless performance - but, this is much worse than 'crappy'. It's virtually non-existent. I'm running Android v1.82 on mine, (no build number specified). Note: the same router has awesome range for ALL of my various laptops, PCs, etc. that are not 'hardwired' to the router.
I have already positively id'ed this unit as a Gome Flytouch; 256MB ram, 2GB drive, 7" touchscreen. Like many others on here, (yeah, I've been lurking lol), I bought this thing off an eBay seller before researching it. ANY help getting this little thingie to keep a wireless connection for over thirty seconds would be most appreciated. Also, not to be a know-it-all, (obviously I'm not LOL)... but I've already tried the most obvious things. Flashing the ROM is no problem for me, if this is simply a bug in the OS I'm running. When I click 'Turn on wireless', it does the 'Scanning' routine, and usually does not find my router (even if I'm standing right next to it). Then, after a couple of tries, it says, "Unable to scan". ARGH!
ANY help would be sincerely appreciated! Many thanks
