I've been using the PR2000 for two weeks in a variety of hotels and corporate guest networks. It has been fairly straightforward to connect the PR2000 to wireless networks in hotels.
The corporate guest networks have been a bit more problematic. When connecting directly from the wireless on my laptop, the wireless connects quickly and my first web access is redirected to a login web page, I supply the appropriate credentials (including a password that changes daily) and I'm good to go.
The PR2000 claims that it takes up to 2 minutes to connect. In many cases, it does not detect that it is connected, or it does not detect that there is an additional login web page. When this happens, the PR2000 intercepts all network requests.
When the PR2000 is attempting to connect, I've not been able to consistently get to the internal management to see more details.
I think, but an not absolutely positive, that the corporate wireless network uses Cisco networking equipment.
