Hello Anthony, I agree, that this is a serious problem, too many APs in a small area and the inability to login into most of them. I've run into this same exact problem about 3-6 months ago at many internet cafes in Manhattan. This problem is probably limited to highly dense wireless equipped areas though. Typically, I'm unable to login to any APs except the closest most powerful one even though my laptop sees 10-20 APs. Due to this and inability to have access in areas outside the NYC area, I've started looking into other technologies such as EVDO/1xRTT.
