Wifi should never be that slow. That is 6Mbps. That's the kind of speed I'd expect sitting 50 ft away with walls between me and the access point.
Did they forget to wire up an antenna inside the unit? Or is the SDCard controller just too slow?
TBH, WiFi is one of the big selling points for me on this unit. I was about to buy one until I came across several owners complaining about this problem.
@viofo: Is this a firmware issue or a hardware problem, or do you think nothing is wrong? If it's a hardware issue, is it an easy fix (e.g. I could solder something on the board), or will a V2 unit be required? Some comment on this would be nice.
