It made my WiFi wonky too.

I was really hoping it wouldn't screw anything up as I am not looking forward to 2.0 and wanted to hold off as long as possible.

The previous release to the current 6067, my WiFi performed rather well. With this latest update, the annoyances have returned.

Many reports of snappier browsers andactually better wifi. At home our two are better in both regards. At work we had better wifi and signal on all except one. Much faster browser on all. Go figure

My wi-fi is great with the latest update....I stay connected even when I'm 50 yards away from my plantation.

**spencerdl** · 12-21-2011, 07:52 AM

Mee too, I'm experiencing better wifi with the latest update. Away from home as well

**Playbook2011** · 12-22-2011, 03:00 PM

This update took about 3 seconds to download...rather short isn't?

**Dapper37** · 12-22-2011, 09:14 PM

There is no way to roll back to a previous version of the OS.

You might check your router settings. It N is enabled,disable and limit to the b/g standards.

Try the Debrick procedure

Make sure you have installed Desktop Manager (DM).
Be in wifi range as it is necessary to complete the process.

Turn OFF the pb.
Run DM.
Plug in the usb to the OFF pb.
DM will show a quick option to UPDATE (as you turn on the pb).

Pick UPDATE. It takes a while.
