Its known for that IIRC it was something with the antenna placement, where this was different than N810.

The WiFi reception on the Nokia N800 is better than I have seen on other WiFi enabled devices, including my laptops at home. This thing can pick up networks further away than my computer can pick up

The best thing about this Internet Tablet is its WiFi reception. I was absolutely amazed to see it discovering about 15 WiFi hotspots around my house, while the second strongest WiFi device I own barely manages more than 5 or 6 (my Powerbook only finds 2-3 for example). We have city-wide free WiFi in my town since last October via MetroFi, but my apartment faces in the other direction and it never gets signal from their access points. And yet, the N800 is the only device in my home that is able to "see" MetroFi.
