It would have been much easier if we only needed to deliver routers in 1 or 2 countries :P Send me an email and I can make sure you get one this time :) Best, Iurgi Hi again Tom,

This was one of the reasons that led us build our fonera. A device with 2 SSIDs, one public and one for private use. As long as you use your personal fonera, connected to the private signal, you will not ever again be bugged by FON. You can go manually to www.fon.com to manage your access point, but you're not forced to. When you're roaming, you have to log in in each access point you connect to, that's something very unlikely to change because of security and legal reasons. Still, we will soon come up with a network manager that will permit users not to have to log in manually through their browsers. If you're still using an old FON enabled router, I encourage you to get a fonera and re-enjoy FON! You'll notice a big difference! Thanks for sharing! Iurgi Hi

If so, then you always have to login via the FON Login page. But if you use the private signal then there would be no need to login at all.
