I use this device daily (have two of them), and have some problems with it. Frequent device timeouts as you said, already changed the router, wifi channel, and still the problem. Sometimes programs takes some time to connect, like when I'm browsing the web and open irc, it takes some time to connect with the server. Usually timeouts happens when I do a new connection, like I never had a timeout when only watching a video on youtube, it happens like when I open a new site. It has been difficult to me to figure out what causes this error, and try to reproduce it, it looks totally random, some days I get a lot of timeouts, others I get no one. -- Regards Henrique Lengler
