It drops the connection 2 or 3 times an hour really frustrating.

Also, I've been trying to connect Ubuntu to it over a wireless. Ubuntu sees the router, it asks for a password, tries to connect, and then asks for the password again. Infinitely.

I'll be ringing Magnet about these issues, but can anyone share their experience or offer advice on any of these issues? I hate being given the run-around by telecoms, and want to be ready for their bs.
