[ale] Android tablet won't connect to SOME wifi routers

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the tips.  Acer is not offering any over the air upgrades at the moment.  I think I'll try the forget the network thing at the places in question.  I'm also going to be doing some more research.  It's very odd to me that at least two of the three locations used to work.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
