I was having problems connecting to my wireless router using the Rogue Wave. The router is using "WPA2 personal" data encryption. I called the 800 number on the wavewifi.com portal and we eventually determined that I had an old version of the software. Tech support sent software and directions to "flash" my Rogue Wave to software version 7.37 (previous version was 6.0xxx). Apparently my old version of the software could not be updated via the web interface ( I was able to connect if I removed password protection from my router). It is not clear to me that the new version of the software will be able to update via the web.

The new software includes the ability to sort AP's by encryption, name, and signal strength. They also have added a "Favorites List" which will save passwords and automatically connect to the favorites when in range.

I am now able to connect with encryption at speeds of 7mbps/2mbps with approx. 100 ft separating the Rogue Wave and the router (and a pool enclosure).

If you want the new features or are having issues with AP's that use encryption, you may want to update the Rogue Wave software.
 
The ecryption error only effected WEP shared keys no other protections were affected that I am aware of.
The new 10 favorites is a great feature. It must be flashed at the factory.
Most units shipped after January 1st of this year have the upgraded software.
You can get the updated flash by contacting Richard at Wave.
If your ROGUE has a small World to the right under the banner you have the 10 favorites.
The high power units can also be reflashed for the favorites as well.
The firmware revision number is located at the bottom left of the connection manager page.
