|Works but radio must be set to channels 1, 6, or 11. I normally configure this device to automatically choose the least congested frequency, but in my office that ends up being something other than 1, 6 and 11 most of the time. Note also that activity sharing totally fails with this AP - nada, zip.

A list of wireless routers that had been tested for compatibility with the XO Laptop. Most are no doubt no longer available; the market for these products moves reasonably quickly.
