i have the tr2ap3 i was wondering why and if anyone else has problems getting on random wireless networks?  for example:  at a friends house i try to get on their open unsecure wifi network and it sometimes pops on in a second and sometimes it takes a long time “detecting proxy settings”  also at starbucks hotspots i was having the worst time trying to get connected to their network.  the only way it will work (which took alot of pain to figure out) was to take out my sierra wireless low speed aircard then try to connect to the high speed tmobile hotspot.  i also think the connection drops sometimes where ever i am at which can be annoying.  what can i do to make this easier? 

THANKS for any insight.

Hmm..maybe i read it wrong. is he trying to get on random wireless networks or trying to avoid getting on random wireless networks..good eye truthseeker :mrgreen:

You say that the problem went away when you took out the Sierra wireless card.  That card may have been creating a conflict.  Networking is not my strength, but have you tried reinstalling/updating drivers and/or calling Sony tech support?
