“I also see the customer care reports” … do you also get the statistics of how many have been answered within 48h before being autoclosed? most if not all people tell the only response is the automated response…if they get a response it’s to go ask the developers on http://www.fonosfera.org... and they quietly left the building in december…

“But now I don’t see any major bugs. Can you elaborate?” … well last weekend I took a boxed fonera 2.0n …connected it… tried to surf to 192.168.10.1 … I got a black/white webpage… looks like CSS file was missing… in the end I was able to find out how to upgrade from 2.2.6.0 to 2.3.0.0 … but I do miss the auto updates from fonera 1.0 times that would fix these on the spot as soon as it was connected to the internet… You should never save on QA …

Congratulations on the continued rise of FON. I have been a supporter since day one. Sadly, however, I must lend support wouter’s comment about the stability of the Fon 2.0n. I pre-ordered one, to replace older Wifi setup (including older Fon plus accessories).
Sadly, my Fon 2.0n has never been reliable. I keep up to date on all the Fon boards, tried the RCs (Rudolph was in fact more stable in my experience). All to no avail and frustratingly familiar network failures. After many many hours of tinkering and geek bashing from my wife, I have removed the router and boxed it. (It wasn’t stable in isolation and interfered within a multiple Wifi signal environment.)
I hope the severity of my issues are isolated.

Please consider my purchase of the 2.0n a donation to the cause. I’ll keep in touch to see if they fix the issues and might give it a try again then. Just don’t tell my wife!

please read the support requests on developement digest on fonosfera regarding Gor did you ever see http://boards.fon.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6644?

3G simply wont work, at least not through a hub, and if you want to use any of the gadgets you might want to connect some kind of storage, right?

I really am sometimes impressed with some of the cool deals we can get in certain European countries for data-only and pre-paid-only HSDPA data access. For example Three is pretty good in Denmark and Sweden, through oister.dk or cbb.dk we can get 10GB monthly bandwidth for 20€ per month just pre-paid no contracts.

If the FON router costs only 20€ to mass manufacture, it would absolutely totally make sense for someone like Three to approach you and order 400 thousand units of the basic Fonera. And then what they should do is offer free routers to all of their customers. In exchange for the customer installing the router on their home ADSL/Cable/Fiber connection, the customer could for example get 10GB HSDPA + Unlimited free WiFi on FON. And the Voice/SMS customers could get cheaper voice calls when they are on WiFi. And all the mobile phones could get firmware updates that let them automatically roam over to FONspots when they are available.

Which they should then upgrade later to Fem2cells and later to Fem 2 White Spaces.
